@Kitty901 oh that's hard when you have to wait for results.. sending lots of hand holds and good thoughts that they've found something VERY minor that can be easily sorted for you to get your bfp!
@izzyroo92 have a fab holiday! fingers crossed for you, will you be testing whilst away?
@PeanuttyButter from experience with friends/family, often no two pregnancies are the same so please don't worry!
@MrsGrealish wow what a line for a one hour hold, am I right in thinking your AF was only due yesterday?! hope you're having a fab hols, you must be in a happy little bubble right now :)
@RMS0209 I stayed awake until 1am waiting for DH, he got delayed because of an accident. THEN he was (unsurprisingly) too tired to finish 😥so if that was me having an early ovulation I have no hope! Will keep testing, but tried a test this morning which had an error 🙄
Good luck to everyone in their different stages xx

RMS0209 · 13/05/2022 08:38

Morning everybody!

@Kitty901 good luck for test results - annoying having to wait until Monday but try stay cool & calm.

@MrsGrealish test is looking great, so happy for you! Happy for you too @PeanuttyButter 💗

@alwaysseeingstars good morning!
1am.. that is dedication.
Oh no, that's ok.. I think it was a fake peak, keep testing. Can you use the cheapie strips too? so you can see line progressing xx

CD8 here... deciding to start Smep on 8 or 10... who knows when I'll peak this month since no 2 are the same anymore 😂 xx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you! A well earned break. Af is due Monday but I normally get bad pains the night before so if they don't show up I might test Monday morning.

alwaysseeingstars · 13/05/2022 08:48

@RMS0209 I think I'm going to order the cheapie ones, which brand do you use? Just checked Amazon and they all say delivery Monday, what happened to prime next day 😂
Ooh.. coming up to time! It's so hard isn't it when you don't know! Are you testing yet or saving that madness? xx

alwaysseeingstars · 13/05/2022 08:50

@izzyroo92 sending lots of luck!!

RMS0209 · 13/05/2022 08:51

@alwaysseeingstars
Go for it! I use the easy @ home's from Amazon (which reminds me to order more - thank you.)
OH!! Monday that's not ideal...
My suggestion would be keep testing and dancing and hope it was a fake peak! I know boots do boots own copy version ones if you have one local?

No not testing yet, giving myself a few more days of being sane haha. Will start wearing my Ovusense tonight though then start testing Sunday/Monday xx

@alwaysseeingstars I can defo feel your angst with the not finishing. I have been there and DH said he was too tired 🙄 he's in a bit of a mood know coz we DTD Monday and Tuesday and I got the tiniest speck of blood after so it's a no go area for him now at least until bean settles in 😂yep AF was due yesterday.

@izzyroo92 good luck for Monday💕

MrsGrealish · 13/05/2022 09:13

@PeanuttyButter I hate fertile week too the endless testing and the endless DTD. I'm 4+1 now and apart from the one sickness episode and strange feeling boobs I wouldn't know it. Still taking tampax with me whenever I go out..just doesn't feel real

alwaysseeingstars · 13/05/2022 09:21

@RMS0209 thanks, I'll have a look in Boots tonight! Definitely going to keep dancing and testing in the meantime, DH thinks I've o'd so at least he'll think I'm only wanting it for fun 😂I don't blame you for trying to keep the sanity going!! Does OH know he needs to be available for a while?!
@MrsGrealish it's so annoying isn't it, I completely get that if you're tired (and under pressure!) it can't be easy. It's just so bloody annoying that it's the one thing we can't control when we're the ones doing evvvverything else 😂Ah bless you, I'm sure everything will be fine but completely understand why you don't want to risk it! Just tell him you're missing out on being able to drink for ages for the baby's sake so he can go without that for a short time! haha

RMS0209 · 13/05/2022 09:40

@MrsGrealish I am sorry I thought I wrote in my comment good looking test, way hay! Chuffed for you.

@izzyroo92 sending you lots of luck for No AF and BFP x

@alwaysseeingstars I think it's something like £4/£5 for a 5 pack or something so it's a little bit more expensive but will hopefully put your mind at ease having a pack up until the easy @ home's arrive (download premom app too it's free) and take pics of your tests and it gives them a score - very handy!
Hahah if only our OH's knew our sneaky plans!
I imagine he knows it's still to come but hasnt said anything so far this cycle yet and he's taking his supplements ✅ so he gets a gold star hahah.

@alwaysseeingstars fingers crossed that wasn't your peak and you manage to get DTD

@PeanuttyButter early pregnancy is so hard hopefully you can feel a bit more confident with every day!

Ladies, is implantation dip in BBT a real thing? I'm 6 DPO and had a drop in temp this morning but not sure if im reading too much into it

alwaysseeingstars · 13/05/2022 11:11

@Tropicana1 thanks, I hope so! I don't do BBT but I have heard it can happen, fingers crossed!!

QueenBee22 · 13/05/2022 12:09

@MrsGrealish the wild nutrition supplements have arrived here! There is a terrible smell off them. I am about 8 days off ovulating so hopefully they will take effect by then!

How are you feeling?

Hi, I got a dip and it didn't mean anything :( sorry x

Tropicana1 · 13/05/2022 14:24

Ah thanks @RMS0209 - I know it's probably going to be the same for me but hasn't stopped me obsessively Googling implantation dips all morning 🤦🏼‍♀️

MrsGrealish · 13/05/2022 14:25

@QueenBee22 they smell awful! But all the good things do..I think your DP should take 2 a day? The directions were minute. If my DH could do a wife swap right now I think he would. We are walking through a town in Greece and I'm grumbling behind him..feel sick, feel tired and he's not even getting sex later 😂😂

QueenBee22 · 13/05/2022 14:30

Yes it is 2 a day for both of us I got the women's ones. We started this morning! Ah he will understand I'm sure it will all be worth it and it does pass. The tiredness and sickness in the first trimester is something else but it does get better with time usually!

Kitty901 · 13/05/2022 14:45

Just stopping here to complain that my DH got the performance issue last night and couldn't do anything! Why do they always do that when it is ovulation!? Feels like sabotage 🤣🤦‍♀️ he feels guilty today haha

alwaysseeingstars · 13/05/2022 15:08

Ah @Kitty901 such a pain isn't it!

RMS0209 · 13/05/2022 15:48

Haha don't worry @Tropicana1 this was me last cycle too... wish it was as easy as I thought it was when I was younger 😢 x

OP posts:
Tropicana1 · 13/05/2022 16:06

@Kitty901 DH is the same around peak / ovulation - so frustrating! Performance anxiety issues are strong here haha. We managed it the day before peak OPK then the day after Ov 🤦🏼‍♀️

@RMS0209 haha yea remember worrying that one shag any time of the month would result in pregnancy 😂 I wish!

RMS0209 · 13/05/2022 16:07

@Tropicana1 now look at us hoping that 1 guy from the dancing will do its job 😂😂😂

Mine always tell me specifically not to tell him I'm ovulating ..: it's a bit obvious though I rarely initiate . I'm 7dpo today was convinced at 5dpo and 6dpo that implantation happened even though it's very early I had very noticeable cramps doubting myself now ..this wait is excruciating

Organictangerine · 13/05/2022 16:25

Hope this isn’t TMI but I find it’s less pressure to give a BJ then just hop on near the end..! Keeping it casual means less stage fright than a pre-planned ‘session’ 😂
