POAS: With only the IC in stock...someone help us 🤣

[FfayeN]

You asked for it......😘

@mummatara at least you'll be covering all bases hun! It's gotta come soon! Have you been googling "ways to bring on your period" I deffo would have been 'dancing under the moon' or whatever was suggested 🤣🤣.

@TheBirdintheCave if you can't get another it's just over a week to wait, with Christmas inbetween hopefully that time will whizz by, 1day would be within the bounds of normal discrepancy so I really think all will be well ☺️.

@MrsCristianoX how are you doing today love?

If anyone wants a laugh here's my yo-yo chart. Ignore the ovulation, I'm pretty sure it's incorrect!

@FfayeN 😂 no I actually never even thought of doing that 🤦🏼‍♀️ trots off to see what's suggested 🤣 wow those temps are going crazy 😳 any luck with the opks?

Sex is one suggestion....least that really does cover all bases

@FfayeN ugh brown spotting started today expecting AF full flow tomorrow. I'm torn NGL. Keep going or not..

@MrsCristianoX sorry to hear that ❤x

@MrsCristianoX oh no 😩. I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you need to decide now? Could you take the pressure off as in, not trying but not stopping it for a couple of months? Xx

@mummatara it's high one day, low the next, high the next, so alllllllll over the place! Bit like my temps! Hahaha it literally does cover all bases!! xx

@FfayeN I was giving myself to March anyway.. DH is super confident in his abilities 😂 it was a weird cycle this month. Late peak, no ov cramping and I normally bleed a lot on day 1 it's just like brown yuck (for want to a better word) xx (March is the anniversary of my first positive for miscarriage 1..it makes sense in my head xx)

@MrsCristianoX so you have a good three cycles ahead of you hun, you don't need to decide yet 😘. I take it you have tested again since 10dpo? Xx

@FfayeN actually no! The poas addict who has not poas. If the flow is still odd tomorrow I will. I did a covid test in the hope of getting 5 days off work yesterday but alas negative. I know I shouldn't joke covid is awful but one of my coworkers has just tested positive x

@MrsCristianoX how are you not running to the toilet and POAS right now?! What dpo are you 11 or 12? If the flow is weird...it might not be aunt flow! X

@mummatara running is supposed to help bring on AF! Go have a run 😂🙃

@FfayeN those are some jumpy temps! They do say that jumpy temps can be a sign of pregnancy so you never know 🤞

@MrsCristianoX oh hun, I hear you! Im 14dpo and have loooooads of creamy discharge which is basically unheard of for me at this stage. However I am crampy and breasts are normal so think AF will arrive bang on schedule tomorrow. I'm so done with it all now tbh... le sigh!

@bunnykins123 there's no chance there I'm afraid. Hubby is bagging up so I can have my biopsy!
@bunnykins123 are you holding out testing too? xx

@FfayeN the cramping. Nothing good can come from cramps and brown goo🙈 lol I need no encouragement I have a double pack of frers untouched for next cycle 😉 very proud I haven't touched them (yet)

@FfayeN me and @bunnykins123 took a no testing rule together😂 excited for you missy !!

@FfayeN haha nooo I don't test now, I've been disappointed too many times! Plus all the signs are pointing to AF arriving tomorrow.

@MrsCristianoX I do tend to agree, brown usually isn't great especially around AF time. Bah.

@mummatara sorry to hear the spotting hasn't progressed. At least you're covering all bases!

Fair play ladies and well done for holding out (sort of @MrsCristianoX 🤣). xxx

@FfayeN I used the cheapest IC ever (doesn't count 🙈😅)

DH feels we need to DTD ALL THE TIME god help me this cycle. Keep the thread running girls I may need you.

@bunnykins123 🤞🤞 testing awaits..I swear I'd be more happy for you than me now. You give constant support 😘

@MrsCristianoX @bunnykins123 I am mightily impressed that neither of you have tested! Are you going to at all or are you waiting it out?? 😬

@FfayeN That is quite some roller coaster of a temp chart! Where do you think you are in this cycle?

@mummatara There's only one other scan place by us which is an hour away in Guildford and is crazy expensive. I think I'll just sit on my hands and wait for next Friday. Hopefully Christmas makes the time pass quickly.

Sending so many good vibes to you all. It's so lovely everyone is at so many different stages and all supportive. This really is the best of MN!

Very frustrating OPK strip results early this evening (CD10) One was quite dark so quickly (almost immediately) for this day in my cycle that I took another to check if I was likely to ovulate earlier than usual but then that was even lighter than yesterday's?! Not sure how that works as surely should be the at least the same or darker than the day before each time?

So I'm assuming the first one was faulty especially as the line is sort of broken. Will do another in the afternoon tomorrow and keep doing the same time of day each day.

Annoying. So annoying. As is not being able to upload recent imagery to MN on the app, only to desktop!! Grr.

Just an error on the darker one I took between the two light ones.

Have DTD so far on CD9 and 10. Will try to do every other day at least until a flashing smiley digital then three days in a row / until static smiley, and one day after that too.

Meant to say in addition to the strip OPKs mentioned I also did digitals which were empty circles so I think that means there's no chance that DTD so far could lead to conception.

Guess we've got a busy Christmas week coming up!!

@TheBirdintheCave the only time I will test is if I'm actually late! I've seen too many indents and bfns that have broken me!

@MrsCristianoX lolzzz good luck with that 😂 at least he's up for a bit of dtd fun!

@monsteramunch I think the digitals are actually the most accurate. I do use them alongside opks but I feel that once CB says I'm peaking, I really know that I AM peaking 😂 whereas with the OPKs sometimes I'm like 'huh is that a peak, is it not a peak'. I used easy@home app too and found that reeeeally inconsistent so sacked that off too. Go with CB, I think you have a while yet so don't panic about the screwy opk.

@monsteramunch Enjoy your week! ;) And yes, we've got a good bunch here.

@MrsCristianoX Your husband sounds very gung ho about this cycle! 😂

@bunnykins123 How many more days til you'd be classed as late? And yeah, I totally get that feeling. Still, it's a huge pull to just POAS so I'm still very impressed that you've managed to stick to your guns and not test.

@TheBirdintheCave well today is the latest I could be without being classified as late. If by tomorrow it's not arrived, then I would be late. It's happened before though where I've got AF in the evening of my last day before being late - that's a sucker! I really don't think there is any chance, boobies are not sore and they were a few days ago so progesterone is defo going down. It's just my screwy body!

@bunnykins123 I'll still keep my fingers crossed AF doesn't come for you :)

Woohoo ovulation is CD25 (today) this month instead of 30/31 🥳 in 2 weeks time will be the one year anniversary of losing our baby boy, if I got a BFP on the same day that would be so wonderfully significant. But if not then it’ll just be an extra depressing day…
