@Franklydear so glad you feel a bit better and def don't go to work

@Newbie0818 I'm sure a lot of ppl would find they OV when they thought, I can't imagine apps to be right all the time or why, when some ppl use 2 apps, would it say different days?

@AHobbyaweek that was always me too on the AIBU...my go to thing, love a good parking war or neighbour!! & more threesomes emerge! 🙌🏻I am totally with you on the cock and also sometimes knowing it can be a quickie is great ☺️

Oh @Amy00 im so sorry, and sorry it's on your birthday, it's completely reasonable to cry, do you have any nice plans to take your mind off it?

@InkyPaper have a celebration & commiseration cuppa, hurrah for doctors, when is it?

I also did an FRER this morning, stark as expected. Normal service here too 😂, I did lie awake dreaming of the miracle BFP and it could be...reality stops that!

Plus I'm sure recently there was a thread of "AIBU highlights" which linked to really good ones!

Ladies I joined you last month but lost the group this time. I had one of the BFPs on the June bus and then MMC at 12 weeks. So I do believe I have caught this time (6 days late) and just confirmed it on a CB digital. I'm calling a private fertility specialist to ask if low dose aspirin / anything I can do to keep the heartbeat going this time.

I'll join the group for women who have had a miscarriage but wanted to say thanks for all the support at the time. After almost two years trying to get pregnant then go through all that was indescribably shit but I do think in the end we'll all get there and have a family somehow!

@Amy00 so sorry to hear that. Hope you have a busy day and can treat yourself to make you feel better.

I'm so sorry @Amy00 big hugs for you

@Minster2012 thanks 😄 the appointment is "sometime this morning" so fingers crossed I'll get somewhere and won't be fobbed off

Congratulations on your BFP @Flittingaboutagain hope this pregnancy goes smoothly and without complications for you

@Amy00 I am so sorry hun, have a good cry and then try to have a good day
@Flittingaboutagain result! It takes a wingy road, doesn’t it...
@InkyPaper great, hope you get answers
I am back in bed, I am home alone, so I am going to try to sleep the morning off...

@notyetamumbuttrying @Minster2012 knew it, must be true!!

@Amy00 oh I'm so sorry!! I can't imagine how you feel! Sending big hugs!!

@Flittingaboutagain congratulations!! Hope this pregnancy goes lovely for you!X

Well girls ive convinced myself I'm out already, I'm only CD26, and have usually had a 30-33 day cycle, but had strange stitch like cramps yesterday and today, and bad back, and felt like I'd started this morning, I hadn't but feel like it's coming, but it's too early, but this is the first cycle I've taken the seven seas tablets and read reviews about them shortening your cycle so maybe that's what happened😞

@Amy00 I'm so sorry, no advice just a really big virtual hug 🤗

@Franklydear glad you are feeling better just don't jump straight back into the housework yet! Rest and replenish those energy stores.

@Flittingaboutagain congratulations on the bfp 🥳

@Vil10 I'm religiously a 28 day cycle and after my bfn on Friday I was expecting af Saturday, it's always a Saturday but apps were predicting yesterday. Body is being a fuck boy though and despite feeling she is just around the corner, she hasn't raised her ugly bitch of a head!! I'm grumpy grumpy grumpy today and cried watching while you were sleeping last night so she's definitely just around the corner! But this being late pushes my ov date to a weekday 🤬

Anyway good morning ladies! I'm rubbish at being on here over a weekend! Bad case of wine flu 😷😂 oh left super early Thursday morning and got home at 1.30am last night.... he's really loving his job at the moment 🙄 poor sod was in a bit of a 💩 mood but I was very good and didn't take it personally! He looks dead on his feet this morning and is working today after doing 19 hour shifts for 4 days straight. I'm not even sure it's legal but he did say he was a workaholic when we first met so I knew what I was signing up for. He brought me home a pile of filthy work clothes to wash so that's my Monday sorted 🙄

@Flittingaboutagain congratulations!! We are all hoping for a very healthy pregnancy for you 🥳❤️🙌🏻

@InkyPaper don't let them fob you off push push push! 🤞🏻

@Vil10 eerrrr no talk of being out yet please...cramps could be good don't forget. Facebook said so

@Minster2012 I'm using the premom LH test strips, which go with the premom app. You take a photo of the test strip and the app gives you a 'test-to-control' ratio (where a positive for ovulation about to happen is a ratio of 1.0 or more). I've just done another LH test and the ratio has increased slightly to 0.41.
I have no idea if I'm going to ovulate this month. So paranoid about my age (38) affecting my fertility 😩

@Amy00 Happy birthday 🥰 I'm so sorry you are dealing with this and today of all days. It is early days at 11dpo so urine concentration would make a big difference and hcg only doubles every 48hrs so maybe there is still hope. Maybe that isn't what you want to hear either if you you feel you know what is happening. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
@Flittingaboutagain so happy for you to get you bfp again so quickly. Hope things work out for you. Thanks for sharing your good news we need all the good news we can get 😉

Does anyone ever find there are posts missing from the thread in the app? Sometimes things don't make sense 😂 like just now I'm catching up and see congratulations for @Flittingaboutagain but couldn't see her post. Go on the browser and there are like 5 posts extra I didn't see on the app!!?! I have FOMO 😂

Nothing to report here, was poorly yesterday so spent most of the day in bed. Forgot to do an opk, didn't temp this morning because not sure when morning was....in and out of sleep all night. Oh well.

Sorry couldn't remember everything in one post 😂
@Newbie0818 I'm sure the app could be wrong. You know yourbody best, especially after tracking things for a while. Do you think you are yet to ovulate?
@AHobbyaweek welcome! I know you posted loads since I was last on but just wanted to say hi. Love your username, it makes me curious about all these hobbies 😂

@Gem176 I can join you on the full laundry basket 🙄 I can't understand workaholics, maybe I'm just lazy!
@InkyPaper good luck with the appointment, hope you get somewhere.

@Minster2012 sorry about the bfn. I know you expected it but it doesn't make it any less horrible. And as you say there is always the dream. I remember one month we didn't dtd at all in fertile week due to sickness and I still friggin tested and felt disappointed 😥

No lesbian or threesome stories from me, still firmly in the vanilla corner 😂🙈

@amy00 I'm so sorry, big hugs to you and I hope you have something nice planned for your bday to take your mind off of it if even just a little bit xxx

@Minster2012 Mind taking over the bus as of the next one to be set up? I can collate all the test dates/BFPs from this thread and send them through to you before a new one is due? Just realised I've missed 6 pages of this bus so it deserves someone more involved in it like you! I think my lack of current enthusiasm is approaching the one year mark of TTC, plus I'm super busy at work until the New Year and the house stuff is taking its toll also :(

@Gem176 isn't it the worst when there happens!! You know she's there ready to come but for some reason keeps us waiting!! Drives me insane!! No idea why I'd be getting pains now though, can't cope😩

@Minster2012 ohhh I really hope so, not so cool as a cucumber now😂

Thanks @Katao and @Minster2012, had the phonecall with the doctors and I've got blood tests booked next week to check my hormone profile. She asked if there was a history of early menopause in the family and I felt my soul leave my body. So that's something else to stress about 😂🙈 because I'm buggered if that's the reason!! 😂😭

@Gem176 I know you tested on Friday but with AF not showing...do you think it might be worth another test? Also, unless your OH has waived his rights, I'm pretty sure a 19 hour work day goes against the working time directive which says you should have at least 11 hours between shifts. A 19 hour work day sounds exhausting!!!

@Juno231 yes of course I will that's fine, are you as the OP allowed to edit easily the first hit you out with test dates on throughout the thread? That's the only thing I'm not sure on, never done that before...totally understand you too busy, you need to chill 🥒(I know that's not likely but had to say it 😘)

@InkyPaper don't get down, investigations are starting, that's the main point & it doesn't mean anything yet, they have to ask the questions

@Katao OMg yes I've had that before, missing posts...ppl have said things & im like say what?? Totally missed bits...but we all need a bit of vanilla in our lives (I've not had a threesome either!) and thank you, yeah I think we didn't DTD around the middle much anyway but there's always hope til we get quashed 🙄

@Joanna1009 ah yes course from the strips, but they aren't wholly accurate from the pictures though it's annoying, what has your CM said?

@Gem176 with you on the washing but OH working so much that's insane! I thought mine worked a lot!

@Minster2012 to be honest I'm not sure. It's stretchy. But my cervix is soft and a bit open but very low. My cycles have been varying 26-31 days lately so I don't think me or my app can really say when/if I'm ovulating. I was hoping the test strips would help but they're clearly not 🤷🏼‍♀️😩

@Joanna1009 put another photo up today please? I saw your last post and it sort of looked like you might have ovulated yesterday. I used a different app so might have looked at it wrong. What LH strips are you using? take a photo of them in order as well, so I can try and help you.

@Newbie0818 I had two apps saying different days, 3 days apart despite doing OPK and bbt. Thats why you have to try an dtd for longer than you think you need I feel

@blodyn91 thank you. I've attached the pics below. I don't trust the 'peak' as it's very low.....

@Gem176 no danger, still in bed, a message just woke me up, you’re not out until we have prove
@Juno231 just promise not to go anywhere... hope you can relax soon
@Minster2012 the queen, sorry about the bfn, never nice to see

@InkyPaper try not to worry until you have results, they have to ask all questions and consider all possibilities.

@Minster2012 I lived with female friends and often thought a lesbian relationship could be easier than dealing with men 😂 no interest in women sexually though. I'm sure you will make a great bus driver, thanks for putting your hand up. And thanks @Juno231 for doing it as long as you have, youhave done great. You do seem to have a lot on your plate lately. Do stick around though please 🙂

Thanks ladies.

Happy birthday Amy

Yes @Katao I get lost all the time and think I must be a dufus if I can't follow the conversations haha. Maybe it isn't me after all!

Thought I'd mention here too that I didn't get a positive OPK at all in-between my loss at 12 weeks and then conceiving this time (on the third cycle after). So really, sometimes those kits can make us unnecessarily stress that something is wrong. I'm not saying don't use them, just they aren't the be all and end all I think.

@Juno231 you've been brill driving the bus!

@Katao the app has always being rubbish for me, but I am in android...

@Juno231 you did a great job keeping track of everything and driving the buses. Definitely earned a break!

I'm testing on the 19th this week. Keeping optimistic this cycle since the monthly 3 day minimum pre AF spotting hasn't kicked in yet and still getting stretchy CM. More likely it's just a longer cycle though 😅 but may as well think positive for now.

@Flittingaboutagain I recognise your username from previous threads and very happy to hear you have got another BFP after what's happened! I have never reached beyond 5 weeks so can't imagine what a MMC is like to deal with but I feel the pain of anyone who loses a pregnancy after I had 2 chemicals this year. Please share any tips 😆

@Amy00 I hope you're doing ok and try your best to have as good a birthday as you can! 💕

@Minster2012 @Franklydear @Flittingaboutagain yes missed posts are definitely a thing. Glad its not just me! Sometimes I feel totally lost or don't remember someone saying something thats been referred to and get confused 😂 yes @franklydear the android app is crap, I just use it to scroll and for other recent threads (another one who loves aibu ) but usethe browser to post. @notyetamumbuttrying I put those threads you linked in my watch list forsome entertainment when needed 😉
@2020mission glad you are feeling positive, hope test day goes well, what dpo will you be?
