@Katao 😢 boo to af

Oh no @Katao f ing shitty AF. My DH used to be like that with the alarm, I used to have to have the alarm set and kick him out of bed as he used to ignore it after he changed jobs off night shift working but he's ok now so I know the feeling

@Katao that's what I was like before, OH alarm is for 6 o clock and he normally turns it off until at least half 6 and then he gets up and does his stuff and I never used to be a morning person is try and stay in another hour but then DS started waking the same time as OH so I had to get up at half 6 so now my alarm is for half 6 to do my temp so no different to before reallt apart from it's my alarm so I have to turn it off 🙈

I know I'm so annoyed more so than disappointed! Not tracking was a nice break from thinking about every cd and dpo but then didn't know when to expect af and didn't have the usual spotting, just arrived so it was like a very sudden 'your not pregnant slap in the face' 😂 think I'll be back on the opks this cycle and hopefully bbt!!!

@lucyrp yes maybe you are right, I just need to set my own alarm and hopefully my brain will think whats that for? Oh ya bbt!

@Katao @Minster2012 Well....12dpo and im pretty sure this is whiter than white 😒 my temp is still high though so dunno whether to hang on or count myself out...surely it'd show something by now :(

@Hopeful110 oh noooo! I mean you are not out until you are out but I'd lower expectations at 12dpo but in saying that some get late bfps . I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

@Katao yeah I mean I thought I'd see a whisper of a line or something but nothing. So safe to say I'm out as femometer detected ID at 7dpo so hcg should be enough for a frer by now surely. Oh well... 1 last shot this month then I'm gonna take a step back I think xx

@Minster2012 I only just saw your willow weaving and I'm so impressed! I'd love to try that one day. Perfect bus title btw, I've saved it down.

@Katao so sorry the witch showed up :(

@Hopeful110 I'm sorry for your troll chart. Unfortunately I've had AF show up plenty of times with my temps still sky high :(

@2020mission only just saw your question from earlier this week about whether my OH's SA was on week old swimmers... worse! They were 10 days old lol and all his stats were really good (apart from the one they said not to pay attention to..) so he showed me!

@Franklydear my parents used to have a water bed in the 90s and it made me so motion sick lol

@nestinginNL how are you, I feel like we haven't heard from you in a while?

oops @Hopeful110 not sure why I have you down for the 22nd?? I'll remove that

Thanks @Juno231 I'm telling myself I didn't want a july due date anyway 😂 does anyone else do that? Have months that just don't seem like they could be your child's birthday for no logical reason? 😂🤷‍♀️
Can you put me down for testing December 4th please @Juno231

@Katao @minster2012 @runnergirl1 thanks all. I feel silly posting about it now because I feel much better this morning, so maybe it was nothing. Maybe to do with sitting in a bad chair all day in work. I'll keep an eye on it incase it comes back.

I did a test this morning and there was a line but it was super faint and took the full 3mins before I could see anything. I called EPU and my nurse was pleased and said to take it as a negative. She said it can take a bit longer than a week to go to zero but the fact that it took the full 3mins to come up at all means there's likely not alot of hormones left given my tests are 25mIU. She said the hospital ones are 50mIU so I would be negative on theirs. So I'm taking it as good news 😊

@katao I do that lots! Jul/Aug in particular due to the school year aspect. So really Jan will be the first month in a while where I'll think the due date is good lol. Funnily enough I'm meant to ovulate twice that month (start and end) so maybe that's the month that's meant to be!

Got you down for 4th!

@Juno231 27th Nov please

Thanks @Juno231. Ooh 2 chances at a preferred month sounds good. My cycles aren't predictable enough to know but with this last one being 28 days I'm hoping thats them settling and i might have 2 goes left at getting a 2020 bfp 😄

@Juno231 no testing date for me as I doubt I'll get that far before AF duly arrives 😔

@Juno231 FF has my next ovulation as 28th so il be testing 12th December xx

Oh no @Hopeful110 I was really routing for this to be your month 🤬😡😫fuck boy body damn it

@Juno231 thank you on the willow weaving and I'm still testing around mid feb 😆though we haven't used condoms this month so technically I could have THE BIGGEST miracle ever, knowing me it'll just fuck up the IVF by AF not showing and a big fat negative anyway 🙈just as the biggest fuck you! Oh my god yeah @Katao im July and DS so that wouldn't work anyway! See, silver lining

@Sausage1990 that is good yay!! And you should never feel silly posting here lovely

@Sausage1990! Ah I feel so relieved for you. I hope that is an end to this ordeal for you. I really am sorry for your loss and how drawn out it has been for you, and others here similarly. Treat yourself to something nice over the weekend to mark a fresh start.

@Minster2012 yeah everything was looking good! Damn it. I mean without tryna give myself false hope the hcg calculator thing says I have to wait til Monday for sure. So il retest then on a cheapy but then yeah moving on...just need my temp to start declining though xx

@Sausage1990 good new saucisson! hope that means you can finally start to look to the future :)

@Minster2012 totally putting you for valentines day then

@Hopeful110 sorted!

@Minster2012 I feel like all my favourite months for due date have gone by and I'm waiting for them to roll round again 😂🤪

@Katao I would fricking take ANY month but it's silly how we try say it to ourselves isn't it!

@Juno231 it should've been testing on Valentine's Day as my official test date this year but our transfer got put back a week so it was the 21st but yes it would be ironic if that's the case again ❤️(let's not tell DH that I didn't wait out the TWW then either but least it was positive that time 🙄)

@Juno231 I know, I've been keeping up but every time I sit down to write something the puppy needs something 😅 hands full with both the dogs right now!

I'm not sure what my body's up to. It keeps seeming like it's about to ovulate and then changing its mind. The last two days I've had highs on my LH tests but they're not quite positive, and a little EWCM but not much. My temp chart has been a little weird too. Stayed exactly the same for a week and then plummeted this morning so hoping ovulation will finally happen!

OH is still ill so we've been DTD with less enthusiasm this month. We've found that him thinking about me baking him desserts really gets him in the mood... so I've ordered a frilly apron to bake desserts nearly naked (his request). I've been trying to work out what he's into (other than tying me up) for years, apparently all of this scheduled bonking is finally revealing his secrets 😂 we were in bed the other night just listing desserts... I think I preferred our previous dirty talk, but you know, whatever works and gets me pregnant?!! 🤣🤣🤣

Thankfully highly scheduled sex seems to work well for us. I asked him if it bothered him and he said "who doesn't like organised sex?!" Totally incredulously. I'm not sure he's normal.

On that note, it's his birthday today so off to bake a cake 🍰 and maybe get some 🍆 as a reward? We're hoping the Orange monster gets voted out today as the ultimate birthday present, though (OH is American).

I'm sure there were so many people I wanted to reply to 😣 will try and pop back on and do better later.
