As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 18:37

crazy lady over here has three lined up to test with tomorrow morning 🙄😒🤦🏼‍♀️🤪#Desperate! A FRER, a clearblue 6 days early and a cheapy from Tesco (Tesco own brand) - tomorrow is 10 dpo so if there’s anything I should see it! Period due Friday so if I don’t see anything tomorrow I’m just going to see if my period comes. Meant to be going out for drinks Friday night so at least if my period comes I can relax with some alcohol!

Bas27 · 14/05/2025 18:38

Fingers crossed to everyone testing 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Bas27 · 14/05/2025 18:39

I’m still trying to hold off til next Monday 😂

FarAwayBird · 14/05/2025 19:01

@Ec2808 ALWAYS willing to look. Definitely don’t need to ask! I see something, too. Hopefully the beginning of a line and not an indent or similar. I’ve been holding mine up to the light (like the window behind it) and it’s SO obviously blank… no indent or anything so maybe!🤞

@FlyHighSky72 I love this level of organisation! Also great to have booze as a silver lining if not your month! Hopefully you’ll be on the fizzy water!

@Bas27 I’m so impressed by your self discipline!

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 19:07

@FlyHighSky72fingers crossed for you!!if not like you say a nice night out and drinks sounds like a plan! ❤️🤞🏻
@Bas27i wish i had your self control 🤣🤣
@FarAwayBird
thanks soo much ! I really hope it’s the beginning of something ! 🤞🏻 10dpo today and been a rollercoaster tww can’t take the suspense anymore ! ❤️❤️

Bas27 · 14/05/2025 19:08

@Ec2808FWIW I agree with everything that @FarAwayBirdsaid about your test.
@FlyHighSky72on it like a car bonnet.

I’ve started the insane symptom spotting. At 4DPO. 🫣
for me it’s smell. About to look up to see if there’s anything possibly to this. I’ve been using the same watercolour paper for years and never noticed a smell before. Every so often when painting today I got a wiff of Cornish beach for some reason, and went round sniffing everything until I found the culprit - a new watercolour block. I will be smelling the others like a lunatic to see if it’s all of them or just this new one!
Through a blocked nose as well!!

Bas27 · 14/05/2025 19:13

Well. AI has confirmed I may not be completely loosing the plot. I guess time will tell.

@Bas27this reminds me of me a week ago 🤣🤣🤣 but i’m the worst in the tww everything is a symptom 🤣 down to a pimple on my chin 🤣🤣

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 19:16

@Bas27@Ec2808and @FarAwayBirdthanks - hope I’m on the fizzy water too!!

Bas27 · 14/05/2025 19:21

@Ec2808and @FarAwayBirdit’s all or nothing for me. Either total control - precision - logic and self restraint or one minor slip up and it all goes down the pan so to speak and I’d be testing hourly.

ttcjourney20001 · 14/05/2025 19:21

Hey everyone, who wants to join in on a little brainstorm/bonding exercise as we all get along so well and tell each other what names we’d like to use when we have our rainbows/babies?! for a boy - Harry, for a girl - Rosa, what are your favourites? if you’ve already got children, feel free to share their names too as it’s always nice hearing a lot of different names! 💕

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 19:29

@Bas27i’m in admiration i swear! ❤️
@ttcjourney20001I have an 8 year old boy his name is Rian and a 1 year old daughter her name is Mia. For rainbow baby we were thinking Emma for a girl and Jace for a boy 🥰
i love your name choices too though ❤️

Oh how precious! I looove the name Emma, my partner and I are finding it very difficult to agree on names. He’s put forward Sofia, Charlotte, Sienna and Sadie, for a boy it’s always been Harry, but he put forward Mason too, but I love unique names, I love Lochan for a boy, love Jude, Macsen, Atlas, sooo many names but unfortunately all a no 😭 for a girl I’ve always loved Lois, love Felicity and Saoirse but these are also a no 😢

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 20:01

@ttcjourney20001thank you 🥰 me and hubby always agree quite quickly 🤣I like Sienna and Sadie! Must admit love Jude too! Bit they wouldn’t pronounce it correctly here in Luxembourg…i really like Liam too but hubby is Jonathan and he wanted a name starting with J so he could have the same initials 🤣🤣

Oh wow you’re in Luxembourg? I forget that we’re all scattered from each other!! I’m in Wales, so find it really amazing how we can all communicate being so far away from each other 🥰

SureLook · 14/05/2025 20:11

@FarAwayBird sorry it's BFN. I agree. It's lovely being each other's cheerleaders ❤️

@Kayleaaa @FlyHighSky72 fingers crossed for tomorrow. Keep us posted.

@YKM2829 yay! I found the first week ok but now it is dragging.....

@Ec2808 I can see something!

@Bas27 well done for holding out 👏🏻

@ttcjourney20001 I have a two year old daughter called Olivia. We're not 100% set but we're thinking Sophie for a girl and Dylan for a boy. I'm in Ireland.

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 20:19

@ttcjourney20001yea my dad is from belfast but we moved here because of his work so I grew up here 🥰 i love this too! Soo helpful ❤️
@SureLook🤞🏻🤞🏻send some luck of the irish over please ❤️❤️

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 21:13

Thanks @SureLookill def post don’t worry!!

@ttcjourney20001one DS 10 called Dylan

ThisHangryTiger · 14/05/2025 21:21

The test at work post made me giggle. What I sometimes do at the end of work, about 4pm, if I'm going for a run is to go to the disabled toilet, take the test and then get changed. Just getting changed into a sports bra can take some time 🤣

Bumblebee1984 · 15/05/2025 05:32

Yay finally got my static smiley this morning 😊 so should ovulate tomorrow which is my little boy’s birthday. They would be funny if we conceived on his birthday. @YKM2829I’ll be joining you in the tww shortly.

@ttcjourney20001I have a son called Harvey who is 2 tomorrow and a daughter called Addison who will be 8 at the end of the month. Yes 2 May babies so a busy and expensive month for me 😂

@Ec2808@Kayleaaafingers crossed this turns out to be a positives for you both

@FarAwayBird sorry for the BFN
