@Minster2012 I completely understand your point, yes, it would be awful being question all the time, and pretty intrusive questions I imagine, ... science yes, but a very complicated process, hope everything goes smoothly, and if you start feeling not great about any part of it, you come here and tell us all about it

Morning update, I'm 9 dpo officially today. And yesterday I brought my FRER tests... me being me couldn't resist and yesterday afternoon after a 4 hour hold I poas... and at 3 minutes I looked and thought...nah...can't see anything...then i really looked...and im like ha! I swear I can see a line! Its pink... its there im sure... showed my work colleague (I wanted to be sure I wasn't seeing things) and she could see the line too. Don't get me wrong it's sooooooo faint! So could easily be nothing. So I used a FRER from an old pack a friend gave me this morning and I cant be sure I see anything... which is sooooo confusing.! My temp is still slowly increasing after my big dip at 5 dpo...so i just dont know what to think. I've tried taking a pic of the test from yesterday but its barely visible on camera but il put it up for opinions, I won't be offended if you cant see anything lol I just think ttc is making me crazy 🤣

This is the test I did yesterday afternoon, this is how its looking now.. the line is so much stronger than it was yesterday, i know there's evaps and stuff but would you say its evap if I definitely saw a line yesterday too?

@Hopeful110 on the pic I can’t see anything, but I never can, and I wouldn’t trust lines that come after the time limit, I’ve fallen for that before... but saying that, it’s really early

Morning ladies, how is everyone doing? Hopefully having good weekends 😊

No news here, cycle day 50 and no AF. Started using ovulation tests so just seeing what they show. Thought I had a faint positive on pregnancy test yesterday but BFN this morning so think I'm just driving myself crazy.

@Hopeful110 I can see something on the test after it had dried but not sure if I can on the first photo, 8 dpo is still really early though so fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Franklydear yeah I could definitely see a line within the 3 minute mark but when I relooked at the test this morning the line had become alot easier to see, im just so anxious incase it isn't anything. But I have like a dull achy cramp feeling in my left side lower abdomen too.

@Ladybird345 yeah I know haha, I just couldn't resist; to be fair i knew it would be negative but I also knew it would 'ground' my thoughts lol. And then I saw the second line within the 3 minutes and I was like ..ohh blimey now its made my mind go crazy and im like is it isnt it?...gonna wait until Tuesday (11dpo) to retest and then Thursday (13dpo) and by then itll be definite wont it?

@Vil10 I had it done! Bit sore at the moment but love it I think 🙈😂

On the overnight oats front I hate them ! Think they're most disgusting thing I've ever eaten 🤮 maybe I am doing it wrong ?!

@Minster2012 morning! Same here. Nothing to report. CD34 no AF ☹️

@Hopeful110 fingers crossed then, hope it sticks!
@lucyrp I never tried them, but I like porridge, I’ve put them on the next big shop and see what happens, if no good, we’ll just have a few oats cakes for a while, but I am hoping they are good, as this sounds doable for my sleepy brain to do automatically in the morning, todays breakfast is croissants😳🤫

@Franklydear I lobe croissants ! Especially almond or chocolate !!

@Hopeful110 yeah you should see a clear line by then 😊 If something has shown within the three minutes it's a good sign!
I'm impressed with your will power, I test each day with cheap sticks off the internet as I am very late for AF now! Wish I could not test but the urge makes me 😂

@Hopeful110 I have to say I can't see a line I'm afraid, but it's so very early and only you can see the test in front of you 🤞🏻it's there stronger in couple of days

@Franklydear yeah totally. It's the age old thing of trying to explain why everyone here doesn't conceive every month 😂...because implantation is often where it fails anyway...so with IVF even once we know we've got to that stage (we know we have as we are putting in a frozen embryo but it has to thaw ok so that's a hurdle we stress over), womb lining thickness another stress hurdle, then into TWW where as we all know even though I know we've got a fertilised egg (which you guys don't I appreciate that) it could still not implant. So yeah don't forget you guys have got to catch the egg, fertilise & implant into a cosy nest! It's all so stressful for all really, & we wonder why it doesn't just "happen" every month 🤣. With IVF they try "help" me along by giving extra estrogen & progesterone hormone support to try create the "perfect" environment & keep it there. It makes for an explosive marital time 😆in secret usually.

@lucyrp not again 😖😖😖and I'm with you on the overnight oats. I only liked them when they were chocolate flavoured which kind of defeated the point I thought! How's Luna?? It was Luna wasn't it??

Thanks ladies, ill update on Tuesday as to whether its stronger or vanished :)

@blodyn91 @Franklydear 🤣 he plays for Stevenage, he’s in the under 18s squad as he’s 16 currently just done his GCSES and left school. Very strange him suddenly being paid to play football but he’s been in the academy since he was 8 so he’s earned his place!

@Minster2012 my thoughts exactly ! Oh no not again! Here we go again. Mine always tasted like absolute shit but maybe I made them wrong 😂 yeah she's good it was Luna ! Il attach a pic!

@lucyrp what a beautiful cat, she looks lovely 😊

Done my nails this morning, galactic over indigo

@lucyrp Luna is the cutest

@Franklydear love the colour! She is isn't she! Lobe her to bits. She helped me calm down the other night when I had my anxiety attack bless her

@lucyrp she's gorgeous, and the perfect way to calm down I think. You both look verrrry snuggled!

@Franklydear that's a great colour!

Anyone else like me suddenly started thinking about 🎄now the weather has turned 🤫😆🤔

@Minster2012 I am dreading Xmas at the moment, we normally spend it with family in Spain, but I am not sure we can go...

@Minster2012 we were very smuggled ! Unfortunately I am at work today so oh gets all the snuggles! I am thinking about Christmas yes!!! I had to return a faulty microwave yesterday and I'd tactfully stored the Christmas decs in said microwaves box! So had to unload them before we could return 😂

@lucyrp yessss amazing!! Keep cleaning it with salt water and it'll be fine soon!! Glad you like it too!

@Hopeful110 sorry I can't see a line but it's still very early, leave it a few days and test again🤞🏼

@Minster2012 horrible about the headaches and lies/cover ups but so happy for you that the ball is rolling and it's all starting, you deserve a lovely end to the IVF journey!!

Nothing much to report here, CD9 and according to flow in now in fertile window and ovulation is the 29th!!! I haven't even been checking the app, feel like thats come round so quick! Maybe I've been taking the relaxed approach too relaxed and not even realised when I need to get my shag on😂

On the plane now so gonna try and not log on for the week. Have a great week everyone! Chat next Sunday 😁

@Franklydear ohh nice colour. I'm so boring with my nails I paint them a nude pink shade as chipping drives me nuts and you can't see when they chip when it looks close to nail colour 😆 Definitely worth sprinkling some seeds on your breakfast. Even if they don't increase the chance of conceiving, they are full of nutrition like zinc selenium, iron, magnesium so you can't go wrong and adds a bit extra to breakfast.

@Franklydear - What's it like temp wise in Spain at Christmas? We have spoke about going a few times but never have gone later than the end of October.
