@Vil10 damn it I wish I'd tried harder to stop the northisterone but many ppl take it fine & your GP said it was ok, obviously though sids law means it WOULD be the biggest fuck boy around for you when you don't want it to be. LOVING your description of downing drunken shots wallowing that's me with one miracle child picture the horrible slurring scene..."but I've NEVER had the opportunity to try before it got taken away, (slur, hiccup, more gin) everyone I know has MUM FRIENDS & I don't and it's cis I was never pregnant...(slur sob) it's not fair I want MUM FRIENDS from NCT that stay for yeeeaaarrrssss (more sobby tears wailing)" yet I shouldn't. It's pathetic 😂but we are all entitled to moan...

@Hopeful110 I wouldn't take it no. Just in case.

@Florence13 yay a tester! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry for being part of the mood downers...I went to bed last night annoyed after my friend had been "preaching" she CAN't drink cos of breastfeeding & actually hadn't drunk the bottle of port her hubby bought her when mine & hers went away last year cos...you know...they were trying & it's not right. Er. That's your opinion NB & your choice.

Then she said this morning over breakfast "well I should have just got drunk more actually cos that's when I conceived both times, 6 months trying for DS1 & I get drunk once & that's when it happens, then 2 months & once drunk for DS2"...she then realised "obviously that might not Work for you, you are fine with X he's enough of a handful" ...well thanks for that I'm trying the drunken approach & no joy & my son is a handful. Hmmm not sure I'd swap with yours who may be "milder" but was sat on the top of the stairs shouting at 2.45am next to our room.
They don't know we are TTC or had MC

Catherinettc · 02/09/2020 15:45

Ladies I've been quiet but lurking. Had the mother of all headaches on and off for the last 2 or 3 days. Its flooring me completely plus I'm a snappy bitch along with it lol

I'm my defence my kids are 13, 16 and 19. Surely they can do something for themselves if mum is sick but God no! That would be too much. And don't even want to speak about hubby. If he asks me whats wrong one more times or huffs with me I might end up divorced! 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

Anyhow hope ur all doing better than me 🤣🤣

SarahTTC2020 · 02/09/2020 16:28

@lucyrp it will happen 🙏 PMA and all that! Your body just needs to stop being a fuck.boi and sort itself out 😔 and your gp needs to stop being a douchebag and do the right tests on the right days!!

I had my day 3 bloods at hospital today and she said 'am I doing all these?' and pointed to a list that I couldn't read 🤷🏼‍♀️ i just said they should be hormone tests for start of my period and she said they were so 🤞 they've checked for the right stuff.

Vil10 · 02/09/2020 16:31

@lucyrp you have such a good memory I just looked back on old buses and it was the 27th May!! Sometimes gp's just take things at face value don't they, they don't think about the ins and outs and the stress it's causing you!! I really hope they pull their fingers out and do something that's going to help you soon! How does your OH feel?

@Minster2012 don't be silly!! It's not your fault, I probably would've taken it either way and like you said my gp said it would be fine and for most women it doesn't affect anything other than your period might be a bit more painful, I think I'm being dramatic and hopefully after this one and I'm guessing a very late period, I'll be back to normal🤞🏼 hahahahaha I love that slurring scene, feels like I'm reading a script😂 ohhhh we are women so therefore entitled to a lot of moaning when we feel like it!
Also tell your friend to piss off, it winds me up people who try to preach about things like this, I prefer children who are a bit more of a handful and have some character about them for sure!!

lucyrp · 02/09/2020 16:36

@Vil10 what ?! The actual 27th?😅😂 thats reallt funnt that I picked that number 🤣 thank you me too! OH just sees it as the longer it takes the better until next year because we had two cars on finance and they're both paid off by next year so we'll have a lot more money to play with monthly but I said to him the other day "yes dear but if I got pregnant now we wouldn't be with a baby until June time and he was like oh yeah ...🙈 I think it is affecting him more than he lets on

Newbie0818 · 02/09/2020 16:38

@Katao yay for line!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's good. Well now that I know I've ov'd (or assuming I have), I'll wait until af and then ring the docs.

@Juno231 not out yet x

@Vil10 that's what mine tend to look like, but I think that's a pcos thing with high lh.

@lucyrp don't give up, you'll have one even if you need a bit of help x

@Minster2012 I'm sorry but your friend sounds a bit of a dick!

Minster2012 · 02/09/2020 16:55

@Catherinettc sending hugs your way!! Headaches are f ing awful & rant away! Sounds miserable...one of the reasons I wanted kids was to bring me drinks and stuff right??

@SarahTTC2020 it's better to be tested for more as @lucyrp found out 😂🤣

@Vil10 & @Newbie0818 yeah I need to & she is a dick. She's the OH to my DHs best friend not actually my friend I think that's clear 🤔😳🙄

Vil10 · 02/09/2020 17:05

@lucyrp hahaha yes!! Hahaha they don't think do they! They don't show their emotions as much at all!! When me and OH first got together, when in our first year, if any of his friends mentioned babies he was always "no no not for a while", but he was actually the one who suggested me coming off the pill, they always try and keep bsck how they feel don't they!

@Newbie0818 this is my first month them being like that, I usually have strong positives, I'm almost 99.9% certain I don't have PCOS, well I'd like to hope not!x

@Minster2012 how long are you away with her for??

Vil10 · 02/09/2020 17:09

So I've never gone off premom app I only use it to log my opks because it's always added like an extra week to my af and made my cycles 36 days when they're only 30, so this month it's saying ovulation is sunday, so maybe I'm think that for once it's right would explain the high low readings, if it is the case and it is Sunday then I should start to get a high Friday mahbe, I just hope I don't end having 36 day cycles or something!!

lucyrp · 02/09/2020 17:11

@Vil10 my OH is terrible at teasing too. If we're on FaceTime to his mum or we've gone to see her and I feel a bit meh she's like what's wrong and he always says "oh yeah Lucy's pregnant" and then you can see her eyes light up and I have to say very quickly no no I'm not 🙄🙈

Katao · 02/09/2020 17:22

Oh God! @Minster2012 my jaw actually dropped when i read that comment! I can't believe she said that. I can't imagine how she thinks that's an appropriate thing to say about someone's child never mind topping it off with the assumption that you wouldn't want/couldn't handle another! Wow.
I much more of this woman's charming company do you need to tolerate?

Katao · 02/09/2020 17:23

*how much

Franklydear · 02/09/2020 17:33

@2020mission actually I might like the raisins, I only want a little thing....
No spotting today, but nausea is getting worst and my bra ill fitting, occasionally cramps but not a lot .... I don't know what to think, surely not cp?

Mrsbear1122 · 02/09/2020 17:59

@Vil10 you opks are similar to mine. As I only started using opks in July, I can only compare July and Aug. July I peaked at cd17 but in Aug had to wait until cd19 to see it getting darker and peaked at cd20.

12dpo cd33 and I used a frer this morning with an ic as well, both as white as it can be. Will probably keep testing with ics until af show up.

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/09/2020 18:00

@Florence13 you can do it!! 😬
@Newbie0818 good idea my love. Hope all goes well 😘
@Minster2012 omg! Can you just not see her anymore?! So annoying when they're your husbands friends wives. I find mine are in a clique that I'm not part of as I was late to the group and they see me as the cause of Dh breaking up with his ex. I prob was a bit in fairness 😂 but still, he married me and not her. They need to get over it!

Newbie0818 · 02/09/2020 18:03

@Minster2012 ugh, just do you and let her stick it. You're awesome and you're doing things your own way.

@Vil10 oh I wasn't saying that sorry lol, I'm sure you'll get it soon x

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you x

DKDK123 · 02/09/2020 18:09

@Hopeful110 I can see a very faint line on that one too but as you said you'd have hoped it would have been darker by now. As someone else suggested I'd try a digital, if it says not pregnant by now then I'd take that as a chemical and if it does say pregnant I'd be more hopeful of it being a sticky bean if the digital is picking it up. Both IC and FRER picked up my chemical but the levels were never strong enough for a CB digital to register so I knew it wasnt going anywhere.

Hooray for getting back on the sex train again @lucyrp, at least you can still enjoy getting some good orgasms in while waiting for your body to play ball. Don't think it'll never happen, I know it feels that way just now but hopefully you're cycles will get back on track soon. Remember on top of your CP studies have shown the whole lockdown and covid has thrown a lot of people's cycles out of whack so there's every chance that has came into play too. Really hoping everything settles for you soon and you get that bfp you've been waiting for.

@Juno231 10dpo is definitely still early days, stay positive. Keeping everything crossed for you!

@Vil10 have you been tracking temperature too so you know if you ovulated or not? It could be that you have already ovulated and it was in-between tests. I know there was one month I caught one of my peaks unexpected by pure chance, tested about 11 it was low, felt major EWCM in the afternoon and tested again and it had jumped from low to peak, tried again later that night and it was straight back to low again. If I hadn't done the afternoon test I would never have known. It was also a very unusual pattern for me as I usually peak gradually and see it getting darker over days but this was a one off month of rapid peak and straight back down, perhaps that's happened this month with you too?

@notyetamumbuttrying I love being in the hope zone, those few days after ovulation when you dare to dream are like the 5minutes after you've bought a lottery ticket and you decide you're definitely going to win the millions 😂 I dont like the reality come down after it when neither goes to plan but I do like those few days of daring to dream!

@Minster2012 I cant believe she said that, what a cow! My sons a handful but the only person that's allowed to say that is me, I'd be raging if anyone else said that to me! 😂 Hope you're still managing to enjoy yourself despite being away with Mrs judgemental.

Nothing to report here, should be heading into FW soonish but we're going for the relaxed approach again of just shagging whenever wherever as I actually really enjoyed having the pressure off trying to hit certain times last month and just having fun with sex again and to be fair as soon as FW hits I get horny as hell anyway so we'll definitely hit a lot of dates around then anyways.
Got my sons 2nd test results back today, all negative which is good 😊

Juno231 · 02/09/2020 18:17

Sorry girls, I've been reading your negates today but struggled to absorb them if that makes sense? Just been very distracted today. Thank you for telling to stay positive though!

@minster2012 I did register though that there's a woman you know who is expecting a giant turd from me in the post?! I just need her address please 🤪

I've had that pinching sensation in my groin /uterus aaaall day today btw and my RHR has gone up 2bpm today so stupidly I still feel hopeful even though I KNOW I shouldn't be symptom spotting :(

OP posts:
Juno231 · 02/09/2020 18:19

Oh and I had my progesterone test yesterday and it came back today at 62, where anything over 30 means you've ovulated. Not only do I def ovulate but seems like low progesterone during the LP shouldn't be a problem for me! It's made OH worry the problem is on his side though - which I weirdly enjoyed him say because I think that's the first time he'd even considered it?!

Florence13 · 02/09/2020 18:19

@Katao I know it’s not nice that the mood is low! Hoping I can bring some good news in soon.

@Minster2012 yes you really need to sack her off!!

@notyetamumbuttrying haha thanks hun.

@Vil10 sorry to hear your OPKs are not giving the results you want hun. This is why I gave up this month but also completely get why your desperate for your peak. Maybe your app is right this month but sucks if it ends up being a long cycle.

I don’t really know what to think I’ve had tender boobs for about 5 days now, some lower cramping, a few headaches and a two hour nausea episode yesterday. Clearly symptom spotting far too much but I’m allowed to feel hopeful. PMA and all that!

Florence13 · 02/09/2020 18:21

@Juno231 glad your feeling more positive and I’m also feeling that way. Let’s symptom spot together and be hopeful because why not!? Glad your bloods showed you are ovulating!

Minster2012 · 02/09/2020 18:28

@Katao ha until tomorrow evening. Usually she's not around much when I'm lazing around or in the evening after food cos she's very much the "mum does everything" camp then goes off to bed whereas I'm the "why the fuck can't you men give us some time off we are on holiday too camp" & stay up drinking. Clearly that's part of my issue...but not ideal when woken at 2.45am 😂
@notyetamumbuttrying I don't see her much, only tends to be when we arrange something together as a 4 really and they do need to get over it your DH's "clique" so annoying.

@DKDK123 that's great about your son & yeah I mean I say it A LOT about my child but I'm allowed 🤣you hot that FW moister than an oyster 💦🦑no oyster sign

@Juno231 I got the pulling & it was good news 🤞🏻nothing wrong with a bit of symptom spotting on a TTC thread here & there 🤔

Franklydear · 02/09/2020 18:35

I used a digital on Monday when I got my bfn, I wonder if it didn’t pick it up, this week I am not gonna make a lot of sense, so that you know, I might be more normal next week, but I’m not promising anything

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/09/2020 19:20

@DKDK123 aww it's so poetic isn't it! Be great if something nice actually happened after ovulation tho, like a flipping pregnancy 😂 I'm getting so fed up now as I think every month I'm pregnant and I'm not, it's wrecking with my head 😩 been 12 long months!! Fab news that your sons alright!! What a relief for you all 🙂
Enjoy FW too, sounds like you will! Best way to be is laid bk n just shag when u want it.
@Juno231 that is an awesome number! Mine was 60 so was chuffed too! Dh gets his SA Bk tomorrow so we'll see what that says. He considered it could be him too! It could be nothing as well tho as some couples do just take longer than others. I wish we could all just know tho instead of this endless guess work! 😖
@Florence13 no worries, here to be annoyingly optimistic for everyone else but myself 😂
@Minster2012 I'm glad you don't have to see them often then! I'm seeing the ringleader of the clique in a couple weeks, first time since feb, really can't be arsed with it. She's alright these days but not a mate so I don't care about seeing her or not lol. She'll prob pry massively about ttc as well, reckon I'll bite her head off it's negative again this month! Awks 😆

Runnergirl1 · 02/09/2020 19:40

Wow I’ve missed so much and onto a new thread marking my place.

Lots of ewcm for me this morning I have never seen so much so that’s new after mc but haven’t really had much Cm since. Currently cd14 so hopefully DTD tonight haven’t really done it much other than Saturday as all my apps said I won’t be ovulating until next week. OPKs are still crap but I never seem to be able to catch a good opk never really had a positive on them just a cb which I haven’t done this time round although I do have some in the house. What do you thinks best ladies? X
