Happy anniversary @Juno231
@Minster2012 hope your doggy is ok. Silly pup, they don't have any sense!
@notyetamumbuttrying I took an ic this morning but bfn as expected. I don't even know how many dpo I am (if I even ovulated) as my opks were so all over the place. I'm not hopeful tbh, I've had 3 periods in the last 60 days so I doubt I'm ovulating reliably and can hardly have much of a womb lining built up eith such short cycles 😥 I'll be interested to see what the bloods show up. I was told up today 5 was ok for the first lot but ya probably best to move them forward if possible.

Juno231 · 14/09/2020 22:17

Thanks girls! OH brought flowers, we BD'd and I managed to score a tenant today! So we're moving out in just two weeks time 😅. We'll be staying at FILs for a month until we complete on the house end of Oct. Basically we got too worried that if a second lockdown hit we'd be screwed tenant wise so best to get one in ASAP lest we're stuck with two mortgages 🤪.

Am excited to see what my temp does tomorrow btw, it sorta spike today but it must be a fluke - no way did I ovulate on CD9 right 😅

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/09/2020 22:40

@Katao ah sorry it was bfn. When you getting bloods done? Yeah they said 2-5 was fine but as I have short cycles I was hoping to get them day 2 or 3. Defo calling tomorrow morning first thing.
@Juno231 aww sounds lovely! Glad you enjoyed and well done with the house selling and buying! Ours is going on the market this week with a bit of luck! Already had a viewing as the agency is on the case, very excited as they want a second viewing on Saturday 😁

Minster2012 · 14/09/2020 22:58

That sounds like a winner of an anniversary @Juno231 yayyyyy for tenant, flowers & BD! 🥰🤗happy anniversary! All going perfectly! It would make sense not for OV on CD9 but stranger things happen on these threads!

@notyetamumbuttrying you've got fun house news too! Wooo! I was thinking this week about the stamp duty holiday & how we would kinda need to list about now to take advantage of it seeing as how some searches are taken 12 weeks so that's basically after Xmas right to go to completion to get within deadline so getting on the market & having viewings now is perfect timing 🤞🏻

No idea on the chart @lucyrp sorry! Did you get through to the doctors??

Dog fine. For now 🙄🤔

Katao · 14/09/2020 23:04

@notyetamumbuttrying had them done today so just need to wait a week for results.
@Minster2012 are you on doggy watch for the night so?

Minster2012 · 15/09/2020 06:57

Morning!
@katao, no wasn't on doggo watch, as no way am I sleeping downstairs & ain't NO chance I'm letting a dog with the potential for runs upstairs, our dogs stay downstairs! Husband just left & pleased to report DDOG2 very much alive & no mess anywhere!

I've just read a very interesting post on the surrogacy Facebook group I'm in about how soon they got the "2/3 weeks" on the clear blue pregnancy tests & the tests are pretty surprising, very early I think, for a lot of ppl saying around 9 days after putting a day 5 embryo back! I mean it makes sense as they say when you get a BFP after IVF from a 5 day you are 2 weeks pregnant but I guess I had never thought about it & we tested the full 14 days after transfer so the full TWW.

Someone also put this article

Vil10 · 15/09/2020 07:03

Morning girls!!

Hope everyone is doing well! So 9dpo and had slight period sort of pains yesterday and this morning as I've woken up? I'm 99% sure I won't be getting my BFP this month so someone please tell me I'm imagining these twinges😂

Vil10 · 15/09/2020 07:04

@Minster2012 that's so interesting!! I find it so exciting that in a few weeks time you could get your BFP!! I really hope you do🤞🏼

LBee2020 · 15/09/2020 07:09

@Vil The only thing I've managed to discern from all my googling is that any symptom can mean anything at any time. Fingers crossed for you.

AF was due on Sunday and nothing yet although I've had cramps and sore boobs for a week. Who knows what's going on. I've also had 2 nosebleeds since ov which is unusual. Although given we only DTD once 4 days before ov I'm not getting my hopes up just yet or wasting a FRER!

lucyrp · 15/09/2020 07:11

@Minster2012 ooo how much is it ? Sounds good. I really need to start making time for exercise again but I feel so busy all the time! Yes u did get through to the doctors but they didn't have space on the day I need it which will actually be CD23 so the healthcare assistant is ringing me back this afternoon to try and find space for me which is what they did last time. Going to find it difficult going in again as it will be the same person as last time who forgot to tick the right bloody box 😂😭

@notyetamumbuttrying we didn't really chat much last night but I'm normally quite touchy feely and didn't bother last night to see if he noticed and he wasn't happy😂 kept asking me what was wrong 😂

@blodyn91 oh thank you! I noticed in the month I bbt'd before I have a drop on CD8 too so must just be a normal thing but seems to be steady following on from yesterday. I have no idea what to expect so just going along with it 😂 did you have technically a long cycle on your BFP cycle then as I seem remmeber you saying yours are normally 28-30 days aren't they ? And you ov'd CD22?? How are you keeping ? 🥰

And I'm CD10 today and already been up and gone to the loo and completely forgot about POAS for my CB opks 😭

Vil10 · 15/09/2020 07:24

@2020 hahaha literally, I'm sick of googling because every time I convince myself I'm pregnant😂 omg you have such good will power, I would've tested bf now!! Are you usually regular?

@lucyrp don't worry, getting paid on your next wee!

Vil10 · 15/09/2020 07:24

@lucyrp Hahahaha I definitely mean poas, not paid for😂

LBee2020 · 15/09/2020 07:35

@Vil I am usually like clockwork but it's my first month using pregnacare which I read can lengthen your cycle. I like the hope and anticipation so dont to be disappointed. Ignorance is bliss!

Minster2012 · 15/09/2020 07:40

@Vil10 I know crazy isn't it 😂😳

@lucyrp im not sure have a look at the picture on here & then here insta & see, there's a code for 25% off in the text then it says follow her link in the bio? I don't know how to do that though 😳you need to get back into your OPK routine!

@LBee2020 unfortunately yes anything can def mean anything at any time! I got horrendously sick & nauseas & sore boobs near when my AF was gonna start I was convinced I was PG but no it's a total head fuck

blodyn91 · 15/09/2020 08:15

@lucyrp yeah my cycles before had been 29 or 28 days 10/11 day LP, all very light period. It was a strange cycle, but dtd every other day to cover all possible Ovulation days 🤣 Interesting that @LBee2020 said that pregcare lengthens your cycle because I was taking them by this cycle along with DHA tablets 🤔 Doing ok thanks 😄 first booking appointments tomorrow after it got cancelled last week, decided not to go for a private scan and waiting till my NHS one as OH is allowed it 🥰

Catherinettc · 15/09/2020 08:26

Girls keep hope. I only bd twice around ovulation as I wasn't feeling the best (I have fibromyalgia as well as other conditions) I actually didn't even have much in the way of ov signs. Thought I hadn't ovulate. But here I am 5 weeks pregnant so u just never know xx

Minster2012 · 15/09/2020 08:52

@lucyrp I totally forgot to attach that pic again didn't I

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/09/2020 09:04

@Minster2012 yep, we're very excited!!
Glad doggo is ok x
@Katao a week seems long! I got mine the next day, thought that was standard? I called up this morning but no cancellations, will try again tomorrow. If still no joy my original apt is Thursday which is day 5! Ah well, I just want the referral anyway, I'm sure the fertility clinic will repeat them once we get there.
@lucyrp good he noticed you were off then. Hope you chat soon.

LBee2020 · 15/09/2020 09:10

@Blodyn Yeah I dont know what the likelihood of Pregnacare actually affecting cycle length is but it says it on the side of the box so I figure enough people have reported it for them to add it on the external packaging. Who knows!?

Vil10 · 15/09/2020 09:24

@LBee2020 have you usually got short cycles or did you just start using pregnacare to help with TTC?

@Minster2012 I'm so excited for you!!

@Catherinettc this has given me hope! We were rubbish with DTD around ovulation this time, but I had no usual after ovulation signs, and only now on 9dpo have I got cramps and slightly tender boobs, I'm hoping this is not just af making an early appearance!!

Katao · 15/09/2020 09:51

@notyetamumbuttrying really? I was told Friday or Monday so just have Monday in my head so I'm not disappointed if I ring Friday. I think @lucyrp had a bit of a wsot for her results as well?

Katao · 15/09/2020 09:52

*wait

SarahTTC2020 · 15/09/2020 10:09

@Catherinettc gives me hope too!
We dtd on Sunday and then yesterday before I went to bed I had an almost positive opk so said to DH we need to do it again today.
He skinned his knees at football on Sunday though and they're really scabby and weepy so he was moaning but I said we can just do a different position - I just need more sperm in there in case I'm peaking today 🤣

LT103 · 15/09/2020 10:17

Not sure if it’s connected or not. I took pregnacare for a few months there and it didn’t affect my cycle length but I had zero ewcm and when I looked it up that was also a possible thing. I stopped it last month and took omega 3 just up until ovulation And plain folic acid and was completely back to normal. I think just try but see what works best for your body. I think everyone gets different responses to different things

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/09/2020 10:32

@Katao yeah that's a good way to think about it. In my area you get the results the next day as they analyse same day or at least within 24 hours. Hope all comes back ok! X
