You dont need to do fb friends of its a closed secret group?? That's like the buying groups I'm in

Missgoldilocks · 05/10/2020 21:36

@Minster2012 ohhhhhh fuck yes biaaatchhhh when the hell are you testing!!!!?? That's fucking amazing I'm so excited!!!!! I hooooope its good news for you!! ❤️ ❤️

Savethechubbyunicorns · 05/10/2020 21:45

Can I join? MN post virgin so hope I’ve done it right! First month properly trying to conceive.
I think I ovulated before day 14 of cycle even though cycle is around 29 days. Planning to test on 12th Oct if no AF. Trying to resist urge to test early but I might cave!
It would be my baby no. 4 but my partner’s first (and only)! I’m getting on a bit / a lot, so might take many months or may not happen but I’m so broody out of the blue and I was pleasantly surprised that my partner was suddenly up for it :-).

Minster2012 · 05/10/2020 21:45

Errrrmmm it's @BellsB1 day tomorrow, then if they arrive tomorrow (see my postman being notorious for hoarding my post) then weds???? @Katao what do you reckon??? You with me?

lucyrp · 05/10/2020 21:47

@Sausage1990 so sorry to hear about your day but glad you got a picture, I wish I had had my ultrasound 4 years ago as I have nothing

@Minster2012 the mushroom with the mushroom 🤣🤣🤣

@Missgoldilocks sorry to hear about your mum, sending love 🥰

2alreadywantanother · 05/10/2020 22:00

@newbie0818 yes. Make sure it's a private page. U add as friend then add to the group. Then unfriend the person.

Anyone have a mmc and tracking RHR? My RHR is rising, more than it was when I was pregnant?

Katao · 05/10/2020 22:22

@Missgoldilocks I'm sorry to hear about your mum, I wish her all the best x

@Sausage1990 you poor thing, we will all be thinking of you tomorrow x glad you got a picture for a keep sake. I hope it isn't inappropriate to say but happy anniversary 😘
@blackcurrantqueen you maybe ovulated a little later than you thought? Your ladt test is definitely darker. Keep the faith. Sorry to hear about your previous chemical.

@Minster2012 ahhhh probably Wednesday. I don't know why but I'm really nervous to test. I think it's the first proper chance we've had in months so dread the thoughts of a bfn.
@BellsB1 so much for the morning

Katao · 05/10/2020 22:23

Lol @BellsB1 so much LUCK for the morning

Katao · 05/10/2020 22:25

Oh and welcome @Savethechubbyunicorns love the user name 😂

Minster2012 · 05/10/2020 22:34

@2alreadywantanother I'm sure that's not the case for closed groups? You don't have to be friends if you have admins you can have questions to join...when I was on the feb pregnancy one I wasn't friends with anyone to be able to join it, anf it was called something spurious so you wouldn't know what it was, and our community group one is the same, but it has admins and it's a closed group that's secret so ppl on Facebook can't see what's posted on it. But I'm not sure how to set one up

Minster2012 · 05/10/2020 22:35

@Katao I'm exactly the same about testing too 😩

Welcome @Savethechubbyunicorns I mask love your name!! No one is getting on a bit here or on the way out...I'm cheating by using IVF 🤷‍♀️🤫

Katao · 05/10/2020 22:49

Lol @Minster2012 we'll just say not tomorrow for now so 😉
Ya I think you set up a group and set qualifying question so you can decide who to let join, so say like give your username? I'm not sure but think thats how ot works.
God I don't know how I feel about a fb group 😬 I have the fear someone will turn out to be my neighbour or SIL or something 😂🙈

Mrsbear1122 · 05/10/2020 23:00

Gosh the bus is moving fast!

Thanks for all the luck messages but I didn't test today, as my body messed me up this cycle and I ov'd late, only 4dpo today. So thinking I will wait until next week to test - AF due next wed/Thu...or I'm gonna cave in on Sunday and do one at 10dpo 😂

Good luck @BellsB1 for tomorrow!

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/10/2020 23:06

@Minster2012 yeah that should help occupy your brain 😉 I look forward to tues night!
@Missgoldilocks it defo would be nice to have a buddy to go through it with, but let's hope it doesn't come to that, you're right! Glad you're feeling a bit better. X
@Newbie0818 you don't have to be friends to add ppl but you do need to make it private. I'll ask the girl who set up the one I'm on and get back to you tomorrow. Bedtime now.
Night chums 😴

Bbdm1984 · 06/10/2020 05:58

Hi persistent lurker since june here, have commented a couple of times but cant seem to get in or keep up with the chat so just read ha.

@Minster2012 i have followed your journey and have everything crossed for you, i just wanted to say i am 17dpo now with no af in sight, at around 9/10dpo i had sharp pain across lower abdo that made me stop in my track as it really hurt (like a pulling pain from the inside) and had bad af pain when it was due anyway what im trying to say is i am 100% that i have finally got a little bean inside me growing away so 🖕to the ivf lady she is wrong.

Newbie0818 · 06/10/2020 06:34

Cool, if anyone knows how to start said private group/ wants to start one, let me know 👍🏻

Hopeful110 · 06/10/2020 07:08

@Vil10 ahhh im not that hopeful, we only dtd the day before and day of O, but my temp jumped from Totally wasn't expecting any peak opk as ff had my fw down from 10th oct, but gonna keep dtd just incase. 🤞 this is your month! So if your in the tww will you test early or 14 dpo?

@Minster2012 ohhh how exciting!! Boo to the hoarding postman though! Useless sod aye, he has one job...DELIVER your mail 🤣

I really hope they arrive today for you...I think we are all more excited about you getting your bfp than ourselves 🤣🤞 yeah I totally wasn't expecting it but I had a feeling like...oh il just do an opk and see whats going on hah!

BellsB1 · 06/10/2020 07:13

Morning everyone, thanks for all of the luck. AF showed up with a vengeance at 4am, bless the bitch 😂

Probably testing 1st November, unless the egg shows early.

Just gotta keep positive, at least with a longer LP I'm in with a chance, may it stay with me.

Welcome to all the newbies, I need to catch up on all the comments when I can see 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/10/2020 07:22

@BellsB1 aw sorry hun but yes, good that your LP is now playing ball!
@Newbie0818 I'm going into the office today for the first time since mid March!! So when I'm on the tube I'll msg the girl who set up our fb group and post the instructions. One thing though, we'll have to open it up every time new ppl want to join so we'll need a couple of admins to help manage it. We might also want to be choosy about who joins. We deleted a couple of peeps off ours as they never contributed and we thought they might be spies 😂 I just pray to god I don't have any mutual friends with any of you as I've overshared massively lol! I had 5 with one of the girls and we had to promise each other not to tell our mutual friends about one another!! 🤪

lastbany · 06/10/2020 07:35

Do any of you use ovulation sticks? Clear blue? As I'm having issues have few questions xx

Katao · 06/10/2020 07:36

👋 @Bbdm1984 I always wonder how many people are with us silently here 😂 sounds good. So are you testing? Have you tested? 17dpo 😲
@BellsB1 sorry about af but great that lp has lengthened.

@notyetamumbuttrying oh god mutual friends, I didn't even think about that.

Franklydear · 06/10/2020 07:39

@notyetamumbuttrying over sharing is an understatement, most of my friends wouldn’t even recognise me😳🙈 I have Facebook but never write anything on it, I need it for a couple of things, that’s all
@BellsB1 sorry hun, but glad there are positives,
@Minster2012 forwards and onwards
@Savethechubbyunicorns welcome, and all the other newbies, how old are you? I am 43 and dreading I’ve left it too late...

Right, back to cucumber state, cd 12 and just to wait till the 21st, see if af comes or need to consider testing...

Katao · 06/10/2020 07:46

@lastbany I've used them a bit, othere here definitely have. What's up?

lastbany · 06/10/2020 07:49

@Katao hi there
Ok so I got the purple one shows (4days)
Had two days (first two) circle then today was 5th flashing smiley I am now worried as only one stick left I'm cycle day 16 today so I'm thinking I won't ovulate! I've never struggled before to conceive so not sure what's happening xx

Bbdm1984 · 06/10/2020 07:53

@Katao i have spoke a couple of times since june, back then it was very very busy and just couldnt seem to fit in as so many people and already the strong bonds had formed. So just watched from a distance quietly celebrating each positive along the way. No not tested yet and dp has told me im not allowed to test until ive missed 2 af's (as i became too obsessed last time which probably didnt help with the outcome of the mc)
