@MichT4 haha no, just the once like 4 days ago? So unless they held on in there for dear life and I did ovulate then, no chance 😂. I didn't get an peak OPKs though. So might just be my body being an utter arsehole.

Well I think they get to their final destination at like midnight tonight (they are coming from abroad) so depends when OH can pick up!

You don't sound like an alchi haha, I'd be wanting to have a drink too. Depends how you feel about it whilst in limbo. You could maybe have a glass or two. Xx

@MichT4 that Friexnet (sp!?) stuff is meant to be a good dupe for proper prosecco xx

OP posts:
Lollol86 · 15/08/2020 08:49

@MichT4 I know a positive is much lore wanted than a glass of fizz but it's the being in limbo and not knowing what's going on.
So looking forward to my eyebrows it's been 5 months, I usually get them done every 4 weeks 😫 xx

@VP91xwhat dog are you getting? Is there any reason they have come from abroad? I assume they are rescues? Xx

VP91x · 15/08/2020 08:59

@Lollol86 he is a belgian malinois, he will be a working/security dog. They can be mostly bred in holland/germany/serbia places like that. Xx

OP posts:
Lollol86 · 15/08/2020 09:01

@VP91x oh wow amazing, will he be a security dog for your house? Xx

Lollol86 · 15/08/2020 09:02

@VP91x are they a relative of German shepherds? they have a similar look xx

MichT4 · 15/08/2020 09:05

@VP91x that's two bodies being utter arseholes then 😂😂

VP91x · 15/08/2020 09:08

@Lollol86 I'm not sure if they are related but I think so!? They are so similar looking aren't they!

My partner works in security so he will get his license with Jax (dogs name) and work at events/close protection etc. Like when you see dog handlers. Xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 15/08/2020 09:09

@MichT4 I know such a joke, I'll probably have some sex later in case the egg is still hanging out if it did decide to pop out for a walk haha xx

@VP91x that's really kind of you to say, I don't feel strong and capable at the moment, but that could just be AF talking! None of you need to hide your successes from anyone, least of all me, I just need to give myself time to get myself together.

@HappyVibes Aw bless you, I may take you up on that offer at some point! You look after yourself too.

@SmileyT Thank you for trying to put a positive spin on it, wishing you all the best too!

@Northernsoul90 I agree, this thread has been such a lifeline for me this past month, it has made me feel so much less alone. I'm so glad you feel the same. Wishng you all the best for this cycle.

@MrsK21 exactly, I want to see all of you get BFPs! I'm just not at the level of emotional maturity post-MC where I am able to share them properly with you all. Please don't stop sharing.

@HopeForRainbowBaby Thank you for being so understanding and honest about your own experiences. I hope the coming months are kind to you, I am going to try and be more patient with myself.

@MichT4 It means a lot to hear words like that. No matter what happens, I hope you can get some certainty on this BFP, I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

@Hopefulmummie Welcome, so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm dropping out of this thread for a bit but we are CD1 buddies!!! Good luck with TTC, both the emotional and physical side can be a slog but everyone on this thread is so kind.

@Stayinghopeful92x Your partner definitely needs some kind of wakeup call- clearly no respect for you despite all the time you've spent together and the plans you have made. My mate smashed her lying DP's windscreen so I think your reaction is a lot more muted by comparison!

Thank you again everyone, I am unfollowing this thread but I may lurk just so I can see how you are all getting on Grin

Lollol86 · 15/08/2020 09:09

@VP91x ahhh amazing love his name. So will he live with you still? Bella is going to love him xx

Lollol86 · 15/08/2020 09:12

@Hopefulmummie sorry you find yourself here, you will get lots of support from these amazing ladies in this group xx

Northernsoul90 · 15/08/2020 09:18

@Hopefulmummie Im so sorry for your loss ❤️ I hope that you are doing okay and I'm wishing you luck in your ttc journey. You will find lots of friendly support here ☺️ xx

@Stayinghopeful92x Sorry that all this has happened with OH! Sending lots of hugs! Xx

@VP91x How confusing for you!! Had you stopped doing opks? So exciting about your dog though I bet you can't wait xx

@MichT4 Sorry that you are still in limbo. I think that's a good idea to try and enjoy the next couple of days then retest if af doesn't appear xx

Tink20058 · 15/08/2020 09:22

I had a non alcoholic kopperberg cider last night just tasted like a diet version bit disappointing I was expecting it exactly the same will stick to juice xx

VP91x · 15/08/2020 09:24

@Lollol86 he will still live with us, but rules are just slightly different to like a proper just pet dog if that makes any sense. I'm not too clued up on the training side of things. I have a freezer full of raw dog food now 🤮 haha. Yeah she will, I am slightly apprehensive though, with any dog obviously you worry around toddlers. xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 15/08/2020 09:26

@Northernsoul90 I done OPKs yesterday they looked maybe slightly darker but nothing to make me think something had happened. 🤷 I think my body is just being a dick. How are you lovely?

@Rainbowhope11 I was just thinking of you, hope all is okay?x

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/08/2020 09:29

@Tink20058 for a cider I recommend old mout cherries and berries alcohol free. I think it tastes just like the alcoholic one, which is delightful. You can get them in Asda and M&S.

@Hopefulmummie sorry for your loss hun and I am glad you found us. Hope you get help and comfort here

@VP91x 😂😂 went for a walk! I'm wondering what the hell happened with sperm and/or egg for me as I'm wondering if I got another leak after I stopped. Not that temps suggested so, but I don't trust anything any more. Maybe my egg had a little holiday in my tubes 😂
Straw clutching at its finest

On the hunt for frexinet today 🥂 xx

VP91x · 15/08/2020 09:35

@MichT4 I was thinking that for you, and was trying to think of where it could have been but you didn't do anymore OPKs did you?

Yeah grab some! My eggs need to sort their lives out, surely one a month wants to break away and be free 😂 Xx

@chloedancer897 yea iam i said i would complain if God granted me this but im dead lol from the moment I open my eyes. One night I was so ill I forced myself to sleep really early.

@Stayinghopeful92x you say its been going on for months so I guess your reaction is kind of warranted. Had it been just this incident i would have said try talking and working on it. I think the painful part is hearing from the neighbour that its overnight which shows the lack of respect he has for you as you weren't even aware. You have to look and pro and cons and based on that you decide. Womens mistake is throwing a man out only to take him back as once you do that the man never takes you serious as they know they will be right back home.

DBTJ · 15/08/2020 10:10

@chloedancer897 that should say wouldn't complain not would Confused

eclipsechips · 15/08/2020 10:16

Hi! Hope it's ok to join. We're TTC in our early 40s both overweight Blush we had a loss early last year - home tests (FSH and Sperm) both giving good results for us both. We're looking into private IVF but want to try naturally for a bit longer.

I use ferning; CB fertility monitor and Ava bracelet and we both take pre conception vitamins.

Baby dust to all 🌈

MrsK21 · 15/08/2020 10:22

@Stayinghopeful92x I can't believe your partner flipped like that, he's clearly hiding something. Hope you are doing ok and I think you made the right decision

@MichT4 ugh that's so frustrating for you! Hope you manage to enjoy with whatever kind of bubbles soon and whatever happens later in the week, it sounds like you're in a good mental space to deal with it accordingly - I'll be quietly cheering you on with my Pom poms!

@VP91x I'm so excited for the dog too! Love the name as well. Frustrating about the OPKs and temps but you've got the gynae coming up at least xxx

@Lollol86 I also got my brows done this morning, I feel like a new woman! Currently getting my hair balayaged and cut. Thought I'd treat myself while AF is on her way out :) xxx

VP91x · 15/08/2020 10:24

@DBTJ I hope it starts to pass soon, that tiredness and sickness can be so tough.

@eclipsechips welcome ❤️ sorry to hear about your loss. How have you been getting on with the ferning? Xx

VP91x · 15/08/2020 10:26

@MrsK21 thank you 😍😍 will send pics when he is home! I know 😩. How are you feeling today xx

OP posts:
eclipsechips · 15/08/2020 10:35

Thank you @VP91x I've found the ferning really fascinating - whenever I get ferns I end up so excited but temps and fmu have been a bit off this cycle as we just added a new pup to our family and I'm up and down with her at night (we already had another at 1yr so our house is madness just now!) - congratulations on the new puppy 🐶!!
