Hi ladies, after being in this house a year and the sky box sitting unattached we've just had the sky fitted properly and its an ultra HD box so the picture is amazing. Just in time for I'm a celeb tomorrow 🤪

@Kirky658 I had the same thing a couple cycles ago, my OH was convinced I was pregnant and I kept saying to him please don't get your hopes up, it was the first time I've seen him disappointment on this whole TTC journey when af arrived! I hope it's a different story for you though and your get your BFP🤞🏼

@Newbie0818 hahahaha yes!! Let me know how you find it🍆🍆

@KateColx I totally get that. I have my booking in appointment 3rd December and then we go from there. You?

@Amy00 it very understandable due to what happened last time. We went for a private scan at 8 weeks measuring 6 but had to wait 2weeks to go again. Rang midwifes and they said to just do that. So 10weeks we went and found it was the same. Then had to be referred to nhs who saw me the next day but confirmed the same as private but I had to wait another week for them to be sure. Then started bleeding but had to go back. Still hasn’t lost all of it so had to wait another 2weeks. Don’t think I could go through all that again if I’m honest. At least if it’s just nhs they sort you out

@Franklydear and @Sausage1990 hope you are both ok. Sending hugs and love your way x

Oooo @Newbie0818 looks like you might be in for a good night! 🍆🍆we expect another review please! I bet our OH's love this thread for making our sex lives more exciting 😂

@Runnergirl1 each stage feels like an eternity doesn't it...& the wait in between your scans & getting it sorted last time is bizarre, I had similar scenario going for a private scan & finding no growth, but was able to tell EPU that & they took from there, it was still 3 weeks of doing the hcg testing & more scans to check def no growth but the EPU scanned straight away after I said about private scan although I may have said I had had some bleeding to ensure I got in 😬

@Minster2012 I know it’s joke isn’t it. I couldn’t believe the midwife said to wait another 2weeks with the private. Was another £50 wasted as I knew the outcome. It awful we have to lie but you have to do it sometimes. I’m tempted to say something to try get an early scan as they won’t give me one atm x

I have a bad tummy, the steroids will be to blame, great combination bad tummy and no sleep, other than that I am fine

Can anybody give me a little info on bbt? I get that there should be a temp shift post ovulation but in each phase should there be much difference in temperature? I've done my temp cd5 to cd10 so far and it's ranged between 36.02 and 36.58. Is that too big of a range?

@Minster2012 oh well we didn't do it on O day or after since haha so we'll see...

@Vil10 will do :)

Feeling so low today ladies. I struggle with my mental health anyway, but just feel like I'm never going to get pregnant, it just feels impossible to me. I hate this. xx

@Runnergirl1 I might do the same in your position, for peace of mind. Def think I would

@Franklydear good to hear you are on top form 🥒

@amy2503 it's not impossible, but for a lot of us it's harder than we thought when younger definitely, that's why we try to help each other. But for many it has happens after 7/8/9 cycles as well as 13 or so, you are doing great by trying to track things to help xxx😘

@Minster2012 we’ll, top form, I am not sure, but definitely not as poorly as other times... just nervously awaiting those results
@amy2503 talk to us, rationalise it, I feel the same, and I starting to feel a bit sore in the foof, so probably af coming in a couple of days, I looked it up, is called clitoritis, apparently enlarges for af and that is the soreness you feel, who Knew?

@Minster2012 @Franklydear thank you ladies. I just honestly can't even picture how that could happen inside me?! Like I'm not capable... I know it sounds mad... but yeah I'm really feeling it today x

@amy2503 I feel the same after a whole year and about 15 cycles, but I already have a child, so obviously can, I also feel I am running out of time and I am setting myself for disappointment but it is irrational

@amy2503 you are definitely not alone - I feel exactly the same way.

Me too @amy2503! 14 months and probably 17 cycles in. Although I know what our issue is so perhaps different to you. Are you close to the year mark yet?

@amy2503 don't worry girl I feel the same too! Although I haven't been trying for as long as some women on here so always feel a knob for complaining, but I've always had that gut feeling even from when I was 17/18 that I'd either have a problem or it would take me ages, and my mum would always say "it's just a normal worry to have when you want a child, but you were born to be a mother so I promise it'll happen", and with a very fertile mother I thought well maybe she's right, but now I just can't picture it in my head ever getting that positive pregnancy test, I can't imagine ever being pregnant! I think about it a lot less than I used to, like now I'm 6dpo and not symptom spotting or thinking about it like I used to, kinda just trying to go with the flow! It gets better lovely❤️

@Vil10 is right, here I am at cd 24, cycles normally 26/27 days, and thinking more about the Covid test, I don’t even have a frer on the house, I’ll think about it when I am a few days late, if it came to that....

Another rant, too tired to knit, I can’t concentrate on the pattern😭

Speaking of enlarged foofs, we just tried the clit sucker for the first time 😳 it was nice, and dh was very good at controlling it for me, but the sucker but is a bit hard I found @Vil10 won't be crossing my legs for a few hours!

@amy2503 you're trying your best, that's all you can do xx

@amy2503 you are capable lovely, it takes time for most people

Another random anniversary related question- Those with butt plugs, what kind do you have, and how big?

Genuinely trying to find an appropriate anniversary gift. Would love to find some wooden dice with position, room type thing on but can't find wooden

@notyetamumbuttrying not yet, I'm cycle 9/10 I think, my fiancée already has a little girl, so I think that adds to the pressure.
@InkyPaper thank you lovely xxx

@Vil10 you know this is exactly me. I've always felt that and my mum said exactly the same thing.

@Newbie0818 @Minster2012 💛💛💛💛thanks girls. Just feel so crap like I can't do it xxxxx

@amy2503 i think we all feel like that sometimes. It's just such a huge life decision to have a baby and then so much of it is down to chance on any given month. It sucks.

@Franklydear how are you? When do you expect results?

@Franklydear I mean obviously a covid test isn't the best but i find it's always good to have something every month to take our minds off the TWW! I have no tests in the house either, I usually spot 2 days before af anyway so just gonna wait for that, hopefully won't arrive though!

@Newbie0818 hahaha I do know what you mean, it just made my clit really sensitive for a while!

@amy2503 we'll get there don't worry!! My mum always tried to make me feel better by saying "if you're anything like me you'll be pregnant in a heartbeat", she got pregnant with my sister by mistake, and then was just using condoms, her and my dad went to a party and someone asked them when they were going to have another, they decided that night to start trying again, 1 month later found out she was pregnant with me, if only it was that easy😂

@amy2503 I feel exactly the same, you're deffo not alone. AF due on the 18th but just got a feeling she will come early... The stress every month just sucks!!!! Had a chat with DH tonight and got it off my chest a bit, he didn't realise how upset I was each month when AF arrives as it normally comes in the morning when he's out at work so I've got time to process before he gets home!

@Vil10 I'm so shit at replying! ive not been on here much this last week, only just got to your comment, so need to catch up on 2 days worth🙈 right at this moment in time, it seems everyone around me is getting pregnant including my best friend (on her 2nd month of trying) & there's me 18 months later still trying🙋‍♀️ I'm due to ovulate next fri-sat 🤞🏻 so hope I get a BFP before Christmas!! Just feeling pretty deflated atm as you can tell. Just call me negative Nancy 🤣
