@Hopeful110 love your 5 things 🥰😘, I cant see anything on the FRER but the dream is so lovely & the picture is pretty dark I'm really hoping there is something xx

I'm cramping sooooo much urgh and sorry you are also out @Gem176 🤨😟😔

@lucyrp @Minster2012 yeah im saying its a bfn for now, il retest on Monday/ Tuesday to be sure :) xx

@Hopeful110 I can see a little something on your frer! Maybe wait and see if af shows up and test again in 2 days!
However I'm going to copy you and say 5 things I'm grateful for this morning:

1. My amazing OH
2. Our doggies
3. My job
4. My family and especially my mum
5. My health

❤️❤️

@lucyrp I wish I could help and offer some amazing advice but I can't sorry😩

Morning, I went to bed early, by your standards, and found two pages this morning, I thought the response to many but not fully awake yet, sorry about bfns, I never get line eyes, sorry

So I've had a little wave of cramps this morning, af is another 3/4 days away, I'm 10dpo so I'm hoping it's something positive and not af arriving early, my rhr has gone up, it's only dipped twice this month and the first was when I ovulated and the second was for 2 days at 6 and 7dpo, had a little bonkfest this morning but right after I'd finished I got a wave of little cramps, and now I'm suddenly having the urge to test😂

Hi everyone, I'm driving myself crazy this cycle. Period is either 1 or 3 days late depending on which app I look at and I just feel so nervous, don't even want to go to the toilet because I'm so scared of seeing red. Had some light brown discharge this morning. Scared to take a pregnancy test, I don't even have any in the house as I find BFNs so disappointing. Cross with myself for getting my hopes up again.

We have been TTC since June 2019, had some infertility testing done and have first consultation next week. I just so want this but I'm 99% certain AF is about to start and I feel crushed already.

(sorry I did just post this on another thread accidentally if anyone sees, before I realised it was the wrong one and I can't see how to delete x)

@Vil10 your pee will likely be full of dementia so maybe leave it til tomorrow or day after 😋it's a good way to not test in the morning if you have a bonkfest instead!

@Franklydear you may have realised from my posts that I went to bed late....& drunk! Great night! Lots of talking with DH & laughing & fun with you lovely ladies too 🥰😘

@Sarah239 we all have the fear, totally understand & there's a few ladies keen to start infertility testing too so we know the pain of TTC a long time as well as some other just joined too. Don't write yourself off before AF has arrived but stick with us 😚

Ladies, for next cycle what would you recommend trying? I need to give it everything I have lol! I dont eat seed etc but am even willing to do it 🤭 i mean I may have to draw the line at the ass juice though haha! Im not a fruit eater either 🤦‍♀️ but dont mind smooth fruit juices lol. Any help or advice you have i will try and do xx obvs we need to have sex more lol! So will try the smep too

@Minster2012 Thank you, just went out and bought a cheap test at co-op as wanted to know either way and not spend the rest of the day feeling anxious. BFN and spotting on walk to the shop so pretty sure AF is on its way. Feel calmer now that I know just bad for mentioning it to husband the last couple of days and probably getting his hopes up. And at least we have the consultation this week to focus on. Thanks for the reply and wish you all the best

@Sarah239 @Gem176 sorry about the arrival of AF, sending hugs.

@Minster2012 haha I think I sent that at 7am so maybe midnight your time? A perfectly acceptable time to be up and drinking on a Friday night!

@Hopeful110 sorry lovely I can't see anything just yet on those tests, but you're still so early and totally in the game!

@Vil10 no pressure but... test! 😂

Hi guys! (I’ve not read through all the messages in the last 24 hours! The most active group on here 😂 I’ll catch up in a bit x)
Random question.. do you pee straight after sex? I always do as I get UTI’s a lot but as so much stuff comes out (soz TMI) I’m like do I just leave it in as long as possible and risk the UTI? In FW and just want to make sure I’m doing all I can

@2alreadywantanother I was just 6 weeks, but they found 2 cysts on my ovaries which I think caused most the pain. It's the not knowing what to expect, how long to expect it to go on for etc that I am struggling with!
I was also by myself, but the medical team were lovely. How are you feeling now?

@Minster2012 I could count on one hand the amount of times I did the deed when I was pregnant with my little girl. I just couldn't do it 😂
Drinks of choice... white wine, espresso martini and mojitos! I love a cocktail just nothing too sweet or fruity!

@KateColx I just rang through to EPU and self referred, they were lovely!

Thank you so much for all your kind words girls, I'm still feeling pretty shit I've got no appetite at all but I did have a couple of glasses of wine last night to cheer myself up a bit.

@gem176 oh no I'm so sorry. I was so hopeful for you. And for you too @hopeful110... God its hard work this ttc isn't it. 😩

@clapham4 I tend to just chill got a little bot after, maybe 20mins or so then have a wee.

@minster2012 sounds like you had a good night. A well deserved night too xx

I said to DH we are having a party tonight, just us lol. I've the vodka in (last time I drank it was b4 bfp) ice and 7up in. Gona get takeaway pizza or chinese. Have a laugh and sing a few songs. My DS loves nights like that. YouTube Karaoke is the best thing ever. Just need fo stock up on munchies. We do have the disco light and all going lol

Feeling really positive about ttc again. Started taking proceive men and woman and the difference in DH. Hes full of energy, always in great tune. Nit waking tired and grumpy. So worth the money if that's what they do lol
Gona switch off from symptom spotting for the next 2 wks. Will continue to do opks for now just to be sure.
But I'm ready for af so I can get into monitoring, opks, rhr and temp. I knew I was pregnant b4 doing test last time because of this. So will do them again.

Enjoy ur wkend ladies xx

@blackcurrantqueen lol posting at the same time. Just saying how I'm feeling good and ready for the journey ahead xx hope ur keeping well x

Just spent a while online restocking a load of supplements. This TTC business is so expensive, even before any actual treatments. If ever our future children question if they were wanted I'll just show them our credit card statements from this month 😂

@Minster2012 they had a sale on 100% pom juice in a store yesterday, so I stocked up and now have 2 litres in the van fridge. Blaming you for that one! 😂I quite like it though.

I also manage to avoid wet sheets somehow, we have a box of washcloths/flannels by the bed, and I do a lot of wiggling. So it's possible!

@2alreadywantanother that sounds like a great night, enjoy! Glad you're feeling positive about TTC this month, I'm trying to get myself into the zone but I'm not quite there yet.

@Vil10 How many days are you holding out before testing? Keeping my fingers crossed! Although if that level of bonkfest is what it takes for a BFP I'm losing all hope 😂

Back in the sun after our accidental drive over a snowy mountain. Can't remember who asked now but we were in the pyrenees. I don't know why I didn't expect snow in October!

@NestinginNL somehow I read 'pom juice' in your last message as 'porn juice' 😂 took me a while to figure it out.

@Skip86 I’m sure somewhere on the internet there’s someone saying porn juice is a fertility aid 🤣 or was that someone saying drink spunk smoothies was a Covid cure? 🤔🤢

@Hopeful110 I drink Pom pure pomegranate juice all the way through my cycle & that was recommended by IVF clinic mainly to help build fluffy womb lining but also as in general it's full of anti oxidants it's really good for blood my dad has been told that before & he's had a quadruple coronary artery bypass so I figure it can't hurt but I don't like the taste! Seems I'm the exception tho eh @NestinginNL! I prefer ass fruit juice! F ing expensive too. I Also have 2 Brazil nuts per day after ovulation & lots of green veg. Other ppl have done seed cycling.

@Skip86 we did make it to bed at around 1.40am but I'm pretty sure I had been snoozing a bit on the sofa before that point! Eeek DS only woke up at 7.07am & I was nice & let DH sleep in AND hes now dozing on the sofa after we've just been pumpkin picking we are all chilling watching fireman Sam 😂 we are meant to stop @Vil10 testing til at least tomorrow or maybe 12dpo but I've got 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Sarah239 sorry it was BFN, glad you feel calm x

@Clapham4 I always pee after sex as I get infections otherwise, I think I'm similar like I said big wet patches so I did worry but everything says that the swimmers that would be the best are the ones that are already in you & I think the others that are on the sheets are the ones that are clearing the way for those super swimmers 😋so maybe lay down for a bit then pee

@blackcurrantqueen im so pleased it wouldn't just be me then on the no sex 🤷‍♀️so reassuring
And I love a mojito! Despite loving coffee though I can't get on board with espresso martini I'm afraid but pleased you had a couple of glasses of wine to Cheer yourself up

@2alreadywantanother tonight sounds BRILLIANT and I just read your bit about DH taking proceive to my DH about "not waking tired & grumpy & having lots of energy" despite not needing him to spunk me up!

I clearly need to wiggle more after sex to not get a big wet patch but I don't understand how that doesn't lead to a bigger wet patch???

Hi all
Made pizza for lunch, 1 h in the making, 10 min for ds and DH to demolish...
Only boobs left, no nausea and no cramps today, 4 days to wait

Here comes a rant .... someone else on my facebook announcing she is pregnant... has a child with someone else who turns 1 in december and is due another one with new boyfriend in june next year.. the announcement includes a 7 week scan 🙃

@lucyrp 😭 all I'm seeing too. The 1 where she announced she was due in apr around my due date, my heart sank. Wasn't expecting it at all. Hope ur ok xx

@minster2012 thanks for reminding me to take my brazil nuts

@2alreadywantanother makes my face do the cringe face without realising. the scan photo is literally like a 7/8 week scan, people reallt don't know the odds of loss do they. it seems as because they've got other children already they think it will be fine. worst part is pretty sure this one is also an accident as was the first 🙃xx

@lucyrp dont start me on this 1 lol
