@glasspaw - I wasn’t sure if you’d want to come over to our new thread lovely but I thought I’d tag you just incase

I’ve tried to remember everyone! If you notice someone I’ve missed tag them in

Group of 30 somethings TTC baby number 1!
New recruits welcome, nothing is off limits! Trust me 😂

@GingerTea333

I am into full PMS crazy woman mode over here. Only 9:30 and already this morning I have had a massive fight with my boyfriend and stormed out of the room because he was working and wouldn’t have sex with me, burst into tears and cried about not being married and having a baby, and had a full on meltdown at a wasp that flew into the kitchen while I was making my breakfast. I am such a delight 😂 please tell me everyone else gets like this sometimes??

Oh @GingerTea333 😂 sorry I did have to lol at the tears because your boyfriend wouldn’t have sex with you. Only because I’ve been there 😂

He should of telepathically known it’s my fertile window!! Haha Ive honestly turned into a psycho now we’re TTC 😬

Thanks @Sparklingwine1 sorry about the BFN. You aren't out until 🧙‍♀️ arrives! I really enjoy my thermometer.. i think it helps show a pattern. OPK strips drive me mad... much prefer a smiley face... I think I panic it's not dark enough etc.

@Aries491 that's so annoying, holding out is so difficult. I feel like cycle length varies on so much ... anything else you've noticed???

@HRP1990 I am taking daily asda pregnancy care vitamins (like a multivit) but been taking them since end April time and they didn't do anything to my last cycles so not sure but it could be that as i have heard that before also. Agreed though with me having a static smiley on CD20 a longer LP is beneficial to my body :)

@KayL1988 it does indeed, I don't think anyone has the same cycle all the time...i wonder if ttc has something to do with it as well haha!

Yes @Aries491 that's true. Tbh I will probs test tomorrow or Friday - I have some more FRER arriving tonight. My self restraint has gone out the window this month so I think fook it, I may as well continue with the obsessive testing and just try harder next month to wait until more near AF date.

I remember you describing your cycle before. I really hope that the fact this month is so long and a bit unusual is a positive sign for u 🤞🏼

@HRP1990 yes do keep me posted on how the temping goes around that time.

@KayL1988 did you only use the CB ovulation test this month or LH strips? The strips are stressing me a bit at the minute so I'm debating buying a CB digital one. What app do you need to use for the CB one?

xx

@GingerTea333 I 100% have days like that 😂😂😂😂

I feel very sorry for our DPs sometimes ... but then they don't have to pee on a stick daily so actually it's swings and roundabouts

Well my fingers are crossed for you @Sparklingwine1 keep us updated on how you get on :-) I only have one FRER and a CB digi left so really going to try and wait it out if I can!

@KayL1988 that's a really strong line!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳

@GingerTea333 yup that was me a month ago. I cried, and I mean properly sobbed, because... wait for it... the pigeon building a nest in the tree at the bottom of the garden, dropped a twig mid flight so had to find another one.... 😵‍💫😵‍💫

The urge to test is strong today. AF is due in 5 days and I'm pretty sure it would be a BFN anyway!

Thank you for the welcome guys, I've been following the past few days but not had chance to reply.
Sorry to those who have had bad news and those that are still in limbo.
Congratulations @KayL1988 on the BFP it's awesome seeing positives on here.
Fingers crossed for us all going forward

Thanks @SareBear87 🥰🥰 a digital has confirmed too! So glad I had my stash of tests or else I'd be having a breakdown today!m trying to figure out when I could buy tests!

@Sparklingwine1 I used CB fertility monitor this month, but to be honest I found the CB sticks just as good (I just did it so I wouldn't waste tests). The clear blue connected sticks auto sync with the Clear blue app, or you can manually put in a peak when you get a static smiley on any of the apps. I used the cheapie strips along side the CB as I had some left and the strips seemed to match up with the clear blue.. but if I hadn't had that static smiley I knew I'd be obsessing about the line not being dark enough. The CB are expensive but I feel like they made me feel better because I didn't worry about misinterpreting my most fertile.

@KayL1988 a digital confirmed too at 9DPO?! Are you sure you aren’t further along than you think, I thought those digitalis didn’t pick up anything below 25miu?

Thank you @PeanuttyButter I was in such a tizzy this morning I didn't think and then posted and spent a good hour worrying I would upset people.

I'm hoping that we get lots more over the next few days🥰

Yeah I thought that too @Peachycream but then read the instructions and it said it can be used up to 5 days before missed period. My period due date was any time from today until Saturday going off my cycle. All the tests are showing it... going to try to hold off until Friday to test again and hope it's not some weird fluke where all the tests are wrong 😕

I don't think I'm further along in my cycle I've been so rigorous with tracking this month. I did think my ov date was off by a day based on my temperatures... but I didn't think it was enough to make a difference.

@KayL1988 I wouldn’t think 3 different brands all positive would be a fluke, you’d have to be unthinkably unlucky for that!

I just mean are you sure you wasn’t already pregnant before this cycle started? Cause that would be unreal to be that detectable surely?

Those digitals are one of the worst rated tests for early detection.

It’s always possible, or twins! Do twins give you a higher HCG level early on? I dunno 🤷‍♀️ 😂

Just popping in during my lunch break so sorry if I miss anything but omg congratulations @KayL1988 that is so super positive!!!! Amazing amazing news!!!

I caved and tested... BFN, of course it was!

I'm such a muppet, I don't know why I do this to myself. I wish I had the will power to hold out until 🧙‍♀️ or at least 2-3 days before hand!

We don't even have (consolidatory) chocolate in the house because I was trying to be healthy 🙈

Oh no @SareBear87 sorry to hear that! How many DPO are you?

@KayL1988 I have just watched a video on that Clear Blue monitor and WOW.. that is super snazzy! I may very well consider that in a few months time if I haven't had any luck.

Xx

Sorry about the BFN @SareBear87 ... hopefully the BFP comes this weekend for you. I did the same with no chocolate... instant regret!

@Sparklingwine1 it's pretty decent, I got it second hand from someone who got pregnant before they got to use it.... so maybe keep an eye out? I think the CB connect strips do just a good job though!!

Thank you @SkeletonSkins 🥰

@Peachycream okay so I googled it and apparently you can get positive test including digital from 7DPO with dehydrated pee! And I didn't drink a lot yesterday because of work so maybe that had a big impact. Apparently some women just have a higher HCG response and for some it does indicate multiples. It could also be a whole list of scary things
no doubt, but for now I'll focus on my HCG being Uber keen. Fingers crossed it's all healthy.... and I can be the most dedicated cheerleader for all you 🥰🥰

@KayL1988 that monitor sounds lucky! Can I buy it off you 😂 two BFP in a row!

@SareBear87 sorry to hear of your BFN Sare! Go and stock up on chocolate to console yourself for now 🤞

Awwww congratulations @KayL1988!
Sorry for the bfns ladies.. its not over until 🧙‍♀️ shows up!
❤

Thanks Danni!

How is everyone doing??

Hahaha @HRP1990 I didn't think of that! Maybe it is..... 😅

@KayL1988 I supposed the more dehydrated you are the stronger the hormone is in it?

I’m sure that you don’t need to worry and that everything will go along absolutely swimmingly! You deserve it lovely 🥰

Don’t go leaving us though! You gotta stick around, remember the pact! 😂

How are you feeling has it sunk in yet? Have you told OH?

@KayL1988 never be sorry for your BFP, you deserve one as much as anyone does and even if it stings a bit for others they are thrilled for you in their hearts. Enjoy every minute of it. Fretting and stressing just makes life harder, what will be will be xx

@KayL1988 huge congratulations on your bfp! I actually find it really heartening when people share their happy news - there are so many bfns on mumsnet that it's a great reminder that there's hope for us!! Has it sunk in yet? Did you tell your OH?

@KayL1988 fantastic news! Keeping everything crossed for you x

I'm at 8DPO, 🧙 due on Monday. Every month I say to myself I'll wait to see if AF comes - despite having early CB tests - but usually cave. They're just expensive tho! What early strips are people using?
