I'm now about to enter my fertile window in 2 or 3 days, but my husband is being an idiot and the last thing I want is to dtd with him 😒I want to slap him, really.... This again makes me question if I should have a third or not.......... 🙄

So annoying when you feel like that towards your DH. 🫣😂
We literally DTD only twice over my fertile window because I just didn't feel like it. So not holding out much hope. And of course now I feel like it and the timing has past....typical!!

WhatTheEll · 13/11/2023 13:15

Ooooh gawd! I went back to this test and there's definitely a shadow there. I'm surprised it's come up on camera tbh. FGS 🫣.

Now the wait to see if this comes to anything.....

@Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow good AF timing then - I had to do my blood work on cd 5 (max allowed) because of poor AF timing and lab being closed.
@WhatTheEll soo excited, 8dpo BFN is rather logical and doesn’t reflect reality.
I think about doing my 7dpo tests on 8 dpo as blood might already give some hints then. But even there’s still room for false negatives.
@AnaReis thanx! Then I know I must keep temping before taking my daily dose at 5.30 😆 and about not even having third and slapping…. well the previous cycle I also had same feeling 😂 and situation (from timing perspective). every situation is unique of course and nobody but you can decide slap or DTD but 2 days is a long time to make up and make a baby 😉

MrsPepper82 · 13/11/2023 14:06

@WhatTheEll I see it 😍

Oh my god, good luck!!! I think we're about a week apart 😍

SanPellegrini · 13/11/2023 14:23

@MrsPepper82 impatiently, don't think I've ever tested that early! 🙈

@WhatTheEll I think I saw something at 8dpo like an imagining. So did a boots equivalent of a FRER which didn't have anything. Duly went out and had a lovely time Saturday.

10dpo today BFP! So feel guilty and now
Anxious

Oh wow!!! Huge congratulations 🥳 💜 that's amazing news!

Don't feel guilty! I drank for about a week (over Xmas) last time because I had what I thought was a period, turns out I was pregnant 🤩 these things happen!

Did your 8DPO look like mine below?

MrsPepper82 · 13/11/2023 14:31

@WhatTheEll I am 3 DPO today so 5 days and then will have my wider analysis with hcg included ✌most ideally even a day before but im selfish and want that small extra also.

I actually for the first time felt after O day Progesteron shift. Usually there’s no nipple topic (opposite to Anareis), but this time it is tingling sensation so knowing me I have plenty of time to go wild with my imagination ( I know it is only normal LH phase thing but since for me it’s a first time I let myself dream).

MrsPepper82 · 13/11/2023 14:34

@SanPellegrini sooo good news 😍
Early testing real target is progesterone and thyroid hormones hcg is just miscommunication issue with previous months tests during chemical.

SanPellegrini · 13/11/2023 15:56

Yes @WhatTheEll a true squinter on reflection, one only a seasoned pro who fished it out the bin could see.

Thank you! Let's hope this sticks, this is possible as stressful as the trying worrying about MC again

😂😂 that did make me laugh. I AM that seasoned pro...... waaaaa

I'm with you in MC boat unfortunately. And with a very recent chemical a couple of months ago, I'm really not holding breath. It protects my emotions at least

WhatTheEll · 13/11/2023 16:00

@SanPellegrini can we see your BFP? 😍

SanPellegrini · 13/11/2023 18:52

Yes!
Now I'm Worrying about multiples! Dare not share that thought with DH, he swore when I said I had exciting news! 🤣

always happy to take part then but more panicky when it happens

AFeastForCrows · 13/11/2023 20:10

Congratulations @SanPellegrini 🎉

CD7 here so will start OPKs from tomorrow I think, I struggle to do them more than once a day though with busy job plus DCs 🤦🏻‍♀️ will have fun trying to just squeeze in as much DTD as we can though!

My DH would love twins!! Me however, naaah. I am a twin though myself.
The men forget how risky it is to carry multiples! In fact sometimes I forget. It is great being a twin though 💚

WeightoftheWorld · 13/11/2023 21:01

@SanPellegrini congrats!

Just still in the waiting here, nothing to report!

MrsPepper82 · 14/11/2023 14:43

Hahaaa what a boring thing to do - just wait.
BBT is still on a rise as should this time of cycle and tomorrow waiting for a dip (second oestrogen surge should appear if I have same pattern as last time).
@WhatTheEll How are you 🤓

AnaReis · 14/11/2023 18:15

Wooow! The 11 dpo isn't even a squinter! :D

AnaReis · 14/11/2023 18:17

I cower at the thought of twins :x My babies were such hard work... I don't know how to survive having 2!!! Also, I've only ever had home births and I'm not sure I'd feel safe having a home birth with twins... I'd have to research it and find someone very experienced.... Anyhow, I still have to get pregnant and that's the challenge at the moment!......

Wow, 2 home births, the dream!! 🙏🏻
Facing the same challenge, not looking like my month either.
@MrsPepper82 doing ok, stark negative today on IC, 9DPO, stupidly did a freedom one which I had left over, squinter, but I KNOW I can't trust that brand

WhatTheEll · 15/11/2023 08:38

AF has showed up! At 10DPO 😓 28 day cycle but short ish leutal phase. Annoying. Although it's very light so I probably won't count CD1 until tomorrow

MrsPepper82 · 15/11/2023 10:23

@WhatTheEll I feel you 😔nothing can really make that day better until you can actively start again.

@AnaReis wow - never dared giving birth at home and my children were so big they wouldn’t have let me.

I got my temp drop as should, due to oestrogen second wave. So now again just dull waiting.
