2dpo here. Windows and doors in, they just have to come bk to switch handles and postbox as they are the wrong finish but I’m not too worried about that as it’s a quick job and they were so good otherwise. So just to get it cleaned up for estate agent photos on 19th and I’ve promised myself not to test until then (😂 ~ not sure if I’ll manage to resist).

@Slippedonmahbeans00 ~ hopefully it will be our month! Me and DH agreed this is the last month of trying for us so feel the pressure for it to work! In trying to stay positive, how about you?

@cosmicstars ~ hopefully it will be your month too, I understand the feeling despondent thing thou especially when you do everything “right” and it still a negative.

@Moominmamato3 @Slippedonmahbeans00 fingers tightly crossed for you guys!!!

Yesterday was such a surprise for us. After ten days of bleeding, the doctor saying I was having a threatened miscarriage and prepare for the worst, the bleeding finally dried up over the weekend, and yesterday….we saw a tiny blob with a heartbeat! And they couldn’t find any reason for the bleeding, or anything worrying at all on the scan, so if I’m very lucky….I think this one might be doing its best to stick.
Now we just have to get the NHS to do all the right genetic tests because I’m a carrier for something really awful that can cause stillbirth - they had to check up on all sorts of things with my daughter 5 years ago, but because I’ve remarried since now we have to do it all over again because it’s a different father. Does the stress never end haha….

What are everyone’s strategies for holding off on testing this cycle until it’s time? Hiding sticks? Something else?

Oh @Or4nge what fab news! Definitely sounds like little one is doing their best to stick and I’m so hoping it all goes well with your tests and that you have no more bleeding. I bet you feel exhausted from all the worry!

I got some first response tests when I needed to get some new prenatal vitamins and so the fact I only have 3 should put me off testing too early. That and having to get house ready for photos means I should be distracted from testing.

@Moominmamato3 are those your rations for the month then? That’s very sensible haha. Fingers crossed they’re lucky tests.

Yeah it’s been a lot 😅 We have to find out the gender via blood test now because of the genetic issues as it makes a difference to risks. Not sure how I feel about that as it’ll make it harder if it goes wrong. Such a rollercoaster.

Moominmamato3 · Yesterday 18:04

Haha yes! I’m not buying anymore and avoiding ClearBlue after those evaporation lines last month.

When will you have the tests @Or4nge?
