@Minster2012 I ventured out for a meal and drinks tonight. Having my monthly "this could be my last night out for drinks for 9 months" 😆 but it never is! I have a hotel break booked for 2 weeks from now that comes with a bottle of prosecco so will drown my sorrows with that if my test is negative on Tuesday! What do you add to your wine spritzer... is it wine and soda water? I really fancy an aperol spritz now

LT103 · 06/09/2020 00:05

@Minster2012 yes I had chocolate and wine today and we went out for dinner. Fingers crossed October is a lucky month for us both!!!

Mrsi2020 · 06/09/2020 07:05

Morning ladies, I THINK, I have a second line, camera is washing it out, it’s clearer irl, came up straight away and it has colour. 9dpo today, I only tested cos I had a temp dip 😱 xxx

Morning ladies, happy Sunday! The OH is out all day and I've got work today, so tonight we have planned to have some romance and just enjoy each others company without pressure of ttc. Just catching up on the thread from yesterday, so sorry if I miss anyone,
@Catherinettc yay! Congratulations! Thats a good definite line!

@Franklydear sorry for your bfn :( I know the feeling of being lost in your cycle. I finally got a blood test done to check my hcg, GP sent me to have it done. He called with my results late Friday night, my hcg was 10, so its a CP as considering I'm now 21 dpo my hcg should be in the early thousand now apparently. So yeah, he said I may not necessarily have AF visit so to keep tracking with bbt and opks as I could ovulate again within a couple of weeks from a negative hpt, which I finally got Friday morning. So could ovulate again around 18th 🤞
so please add me to the test dates for 2nd Oct @Juno231 (if my body plays ball, if not I'm joining the back of the bus again) 🤣

Good to see your still getting your multiple morning sessions in @lucyrp 😉

I have a question though? Although its a cp how does that work with my cd?? Do I carry on as cd83 today?

Mrsi2020 · 06/09/2020 07:20

@Hopeful110 sorry hun, I think I’d scrap all cd as you could be anywhere in your cycle, just temp and track ov and see if you can esrablish your cycle day through that. CPs are so cruel xxx

Katao · 06/09/2020 08:06

@Hopeful110 I'm sorry it was a cp but glad you finally had it confirmed. I would have thought you would still have a bleed and start again from there but maybe not, I don't know that was just my assumption. Tracking should help and as above maybe just forget about cds. As always if in doubt dtd!
@Mrsi2020 I see it! Isn't that amazing that the ic picked it up first.

Hopeful110 · 06/09/2020 08:10

@Mrsi2020 thanks hun, yeah il do that, and scrap the cd until something happens.

@Katao going to try and just dtd every couple of days until I get a peak on cbd and ic opk. :) thanks ladies x

LT103 · 06/09/2020 08:33

Af def here in full force today. If my cycle goes to plan this time I should be testing 30/9 or 1/10. So long as I don’t ovulate late again this month then at least my fw should be when we’re away for a few days break which is good timing. Maybe the relaxation will help

Mrsi2020 · 06/09/2020 08:34

@Katao I swear every time the ic picks mine up first but it’s vvvvvfl lol.

@Hopeful110 yeah I think that’s a good idea. You’re really fertile after a CP so use it to yours advantage lol xxx

Mrsbear1122 · 06/09/2020 08:59

@Mrsi2020 I see a line! Congratulations!

@Hopeful110 sorry to about the CP, but glad you are optimistic 🙂 hopefully you will get that sticky bean soon, and I've also hear ppl catching that sticky bean right after a CP!

Franklydear · 06/09/2020 09:03

@Minster2012 please let me do Halloween and Xmas first😳 I love Eurovision, I watched it with ds, he though was fab!
@Hopeful110 so sorry, it’s devastating, I am not counting cds at the moment, just giving myself a bit of freedom, we are dtding regardless, and without pressure as I cannot know if it matters, If we get to the end of September without a bleed , I’ll test
@LT103 fw in holidays is the best
It’ll be my birthday in a bit over a week, so I will order my favourite wine and some booze in the shopping, every cloud....

Vil10 · 06/09/2020 09:05

@Mrsi2020 I can see a line!! Congratulations!!

@lucyrp I just thought they said it wasn't good to use fmu because the LH isn't as strong?? It's always worked for me anyway, I did another opk yesterday afternoon and that was a strong one too so must've been right! Maybe I look into that

@Hopeful110 so sorry about your cp but it sounds like you have lovely night planned!! Enjoy yourself!

Minster2012 · 06/09/2020 10:07

@2020mission I have sparkling water in my wine spritzers that way I can have 3 wines as they are weak ones 😂we took aperol with us on our week away this week so we had aperol spritzers, it's not quite the same in the UK but still holiday spirit 🤣

@LT103 glad you had some post AF choc & wine & nice food too. I didn't exactly have amazing food as I had burger (no bun) & kale & spring greens & potato hence the shed load of choc. Must get back on the healthy wagon this week 😬

@Mrsi2020 I see a line too 😘🥳🥰yayyyyyyyy awesome!! Congrats xxxx

@Katao tbh my AF is just the same this month after the tablets, cramping the same as usual but I get awful headaches from the tablets all month that's been the issue mainly

@Franklydear what do you mean do Halloween and Xmas first? I'm confused, easily done! Do you mean films? I did like Eurovision I just was expecting more of a big Sing-a-long tbh!

Vil10 · 06/09/2020 10:20

I am going to test again later to check but my opks are still high today so do you all think I'm ovulating today or tomorrow??

Mrsi2020 · 06/09/2020 10:47

Thanks everyone!

@Vil10 I would guess today! Xxx

Newbie0818 · 06/09/2020 11:16

@notyetamumbuttrying oh no! So annoying. I've sort of lost my ttc excitement now. I'be also been putting up lots of pcos awareness stuff on my social media so I'm sure people will stop asking me about when we're going to have a baby now!

2020mission · 06/09/2020 12:09

@Vil10 I had 2 days in a row of quite high OPK readings on the same strips you are using and have went with the day after those 2 high readings, when it was reading lower again, as ovulation day.

2020mission · 06/09/2020 12:11

@Minster2012 good idea with mixing soda water with wine, I think I'll try that next month to make sure my weekend intake is a bit lower! I had 3 wines last night which is probably not the best move.

Catherinettc · 06/09/2020 12:43

Guys how do i join the grads bus? No idea lol is there a link?

2020mission · 06/09/2020 12:48

@Catherinettc it will be in the pregnancy section somewhere but only someone who's on it will know the link to share.

Busybee143 · 06/09/2020 12:50

Does this work @Catherinettc

Minster2012 · 06/09/2020 13:10

@2020mission it helps me, though having said that I had 2 spritzers & 2 g&ts so I can't talk 🤭

I'm off to a great start on my IVF meds too, realised today I am meant to be taking 2 x tablets 3 times a day from yesterday & I was taking 1 3 times a day. FFS
It's only one day though but still annoyed with myself

2020mission · 06/09/2020 13:13

@Minster2012 it must be tough getting to grips with all the tablets, but you are only day 1 so definitely don't be hard on yourself for a slip up at the start! Do you need to inject something at some point as part of it? I'll need to read up on it more as it might be the way forward for us next year.

lucyrp · 06/09/2020 13:17

@Vil10 I've always been told because it can give false peaks as its stronger in the morning because of your concentrated urine so god knows 😂 must have been right if you had a high in the afternoon too though!

@Hopeful110 so sorry to hear you've had a cp ☹️

Mrsi2020 · 06/09/2020 13:18

@Newbie0818 I am with you! I am never asking someone or a newly wed when we’re getting the pitter patter again! Horrendous! Hope you’re ok! Xxx
