@Crazydoglady123 it really is! Things easily vary by a week and it drives me crazy not knowing lol

@Motherofkittens28 everything crossed for you! @ACMJ I'm so sorry x

Thank you everyone! My test date is the 18th, they just provided a home test, they haven't said anything about a blood test, not sure my clinic do that

@Motherofkittens28 yay amazing news! 😁 my clinic don't do a blood test either just home pregnancy test x

@motherofkittens28 @narwhal88 the blood test must be an American thing then as I follow a few American IVFers who have their blood tests done as a confirmation of pregnancy!

P.s zoe sugg (zoella) is pregnant just announced it on insta and it's like ahhh another person. And seeing how happy she is in her announcement video makes me excited that one day it will be me feeling those emotions

@notyetamumbuttrying @marvellouslymadmum, I guess we just wait the 5 months then go onto another queue for IVF (another year!). Seems Scotland doesn't have the same upper limit as some places in England, I was concerned because of my age (35) but the doc said they treat up to 40, hopefully I'm not waiting that long though!

Who knew becoming a mum would be so much waiting around! Longest gestation in history.

Thanks @creativethinkertequiladrinker @annny27 and the rest of the unexplained gang (trying to catch up on 4 pages and remembering screen names as I browse!). I can't remember who suggested trying to dtd during the implantation days, but that can be the new thing we try this month ✔️

@Annny27 yeah I think it is an American thing.

@Motherofkittens28 you must be so excited! Less that two weeks, not too long to wait.

@Tofu35 the cut off is 40 here too which is a bit rubbish for us as I'm 41 but we probably wouldn't be eligible for any help anyway, hopefully the wait won't be too long for you

@Motherofkittens28 that’s amazing news! So happy that it all went well! Roll on that BFP on 18th!! 😊🤞🏻

@ACMJ so sorry for your loss sweetie 😭❤️

@Motherofkittens28 how exciting ❤️ I'm so happy for you 😊❤️

My ic was the same as yesterday barely there, temps are still high was kind of just waiting on AF all day but still a no show, wasted my digital too, - tive 🙄
I think il just wait to Monday and hopefully il have better news or atleast get to start a new cycle 🤔 this is nearly worse than tww 😑😑

@Motherofkittens28 that's fantastic news have been thinking of you today 🤞🏻 this little embaby sticks! xx

@ACMJ I'm so sorry to hear you news! It's awful they won't investigate until you've had three losses, having one is bad enough let alone having to wait it out for three! Look after your self and your OH xx

@Crazydoglady123 it's pretty annoying I won't lie lol!
@Motherofkittens28 home tests are the norm I think. Your test date is the day before my birthday, let's hope it's a good omen 🤞🏾
@Tofu35 it's up to 40 in London too. Ttc is just one long wait isn't it. Driving me crazy tbh!
@Aimzie how frustrating for you xx
@Hayley19835 how are you doing hun?

@ACMJ so sorry for your loss. It's so cruel and insensitive to make you wait for another before investigating, I didn't know that was a thing. Sending hugs.

@Motherofkittens28 congratulations! So thrilled for you - what a fantastic excuse for getting McDonalds!

@Theawkwardblonde ahh sorry your MC has messed up your cycles, maybe your body just needs a bit more rest? Then it will bounce back stronger than ever!

@Aimzie eugh yes I think a late period is definitely way worse than the TWW! So frustrating. Hope you have lots to do to keep busy and distracted!

@PeanutButterBrownies oh my god it's horrible isn't it.
Temp is still hight tho for 17days now, so that's a good sign hopefully lol
I duno now if I Od a couple of days later 🙄 I usually get 2 fall back dips and then after the 3rd one my AF comes but instead it just stayed up for the last few days 🙄
I'm kind of glad I've run out of tests now to tomorrow, just going to try enjoy the weekend, usually have work to distract me..
Think il just do a big spring clean 😂🤔 I can't even focus on reading a book
My search history is ridiculous.. 17dpo..no af high temp.. 🤣🤣
I come across some threads and the ladies are so mean on some of them, feel sorry for the ones asking questions but I'm like wow.. Thank god I found you guys ❤️❤️

@Aimzie omg, that’s really frustrating! Your temps look good though and I would say you ovulated on the day it says! Keep yourself busy today and then see what your temp does tomorrow morning! 🤞🏻

I had a really early peak opk yesterday on cd10 and my temp’s gone up this morning so I think I’m ovulating today! Luckily we been dtd every other day since cd7 so got it covered! Phew! 😅

@aimzie fingers crossed this is your positive month! This might sound weird but I got a bit obsessed with the temp graphs for a while so I've banned myself from looking at them in the tww!

I think if we all shared our search histories there would definitely be some TTC overlap!

@Aimzie your chart looks a bit like mine! I'm glad I'm not the only one with a jagged chart 😂 can you get your oh to distract you today or is he working? I have seen some threads with nasty comments too and don't get it - what is the need to be mean?!

@crazycatlady1981 oh good, sometimes you just doubt yourself when checking it again, I'm pretty sure I did, temps were up and down but definitely above cover line after that day 😘 eek fingers crossed you caught that little eggy ❤️😘😘

@Tofu35 no I'm the exact same, it can be so consuming so I try not to go check other peoples anymore but still obsess over my own to much lol

@Marvellouslymadmum I'm actually happy yours is like mine 😅 I always thought mine was so strange with how it jumps up and down some days 🤣
Yes he's home off night duty today, which I love cos we walk then light the fire and have a movie day all day ❤️😘
I also have a fitbit and since last year my resting heart rate is 65-70 I've about 10 months of the exact same🤣 I just checked my monthly data and it's falling 82-88 the last few days.
I'm so tempted to go buy a test but part of me still wants to wait to tomorrow cos it would be 18 days of high temps too🙄

@Aimzie I was really pleased that your charts are similar I though mine was just weird! 😂 we do the same went for a beach walk yesterday and then come home and get warm by the fire watch films and have a doze or a bit of dtd or both haha. I've heard something about the testing heart rate thing recently so that's a positive sign. Does he know about the feint line you got the other day? What time are your tests coming tomorrow? I feel like you're being very controlled lol I'd be tempted to go and get a pack of two tests one for today then another for fmu tomorrow 😂

This had a line across the test before I used it, and only showed up after 10mins, duno what to think of it now 😭
Yeah he was like em it looks closer to not pregnant. I was like they don't do that 😂
So no point in telling him, he just asks every day you got your period yet 🤣
They come around lunch time tomorrow. I got 3 frers and more ic so well know after lunch time tomorrow.

Hmm difficult to tell with that one and 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ to your oh men just don't get it do they?! If they're coming lunch time tomorrow you won't be able to use fmu which means it may not be as accurate but hopefully you'll get an answer soon!

Better pic, i have mixed feelings about this that line is like a pencil line, i didn't think evaps had colour but reading so many bad reviews on these tests, plus it was defo 10mins or so before I looked at it again as I thought there was nothing 🙄

@Aimzie it's so hard isn't it to know if you can trust them or not! That is definitely a very thin line, doesn't look like an evap but if it came up after 10 mins may not be realiable

@Aimzie you defo need to use a FRER. U can save your FMU in a pot and dip it in when they arrive. Good luck 🤞🏾
