So it appears I posted the 1,000 message on our previous thread and now it's closed so I've opened us a new home!

@bitheby that sounds really positive - I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I went on the AIBU thread and the people on there are so annoying. I thought your posts were really good

Thank you. And thanks for your support on that thread.

It's easy for people to judge if they haven't had to be in this position. I guess I judge them back. I imagine them as insufferable middle class smug marrieds with their expensive kitchens GrinWink

You probably imagine correctly, @bitheby. I haven’t seen that thread and I’m not sure I want to!

Also, sounds like you had good timing @bitheby as they do say you’re best to ‘try’ before a positive opk.

I got a result on a cheap OPK this afternoon. Put it into Premom and it says high, so will be meeting our donor tonight. Do you think I should ask him for tomorrow too just to cover all bases. The last one we did was Saturday night. Still no solid smiley on Clearblue.

It won’t hurt @KLO0224 so I would say I’d your donor can do tomorrow as well then fill your boots. Wow, that was a bad choice of phrase but I’m not going to change it!! 😂🙈

KLO0224 · 01/03/2021 19:37

😂 made me laugh! He said yes to both days so that’s my next 2 nights filled! It’s my partners birthday tomorrow too, what a way to celebrate 😂

Waiting2BAMummy · 01/03/2021 20:03

But what a birthday present if you're successful @KLO0224! oh, and, maybe not fill your boots with your donation, it won't help!! Grin

KLO0224 · 01/03/2021 20:12

That’s where I’ve been going wrong then! 😂 that would be a nice belated birthday present for her if we are successful. Just reordered more preseed, pots, syringes and OPK’s for next month. I like to be prepared and stocked up! How are you @Waiting2BAMummy where are you in your cycle now? Xx

Waiting2BAMummy · 01/03/2021 20:34

it's good to be prepared @KLO0224, hopefully you'll be kicking yourself for buying that stuff and then not needing it!

I'm okay, somewhere in my TWW. I didn't use opk's so have no idea when I ovulated but expect AF sometime next week. It's a year ago this month since my chemical so would like to see a BFP but not holding out any hope on that one. I can't seem to get one when I time it perfectly so the spin round and put your finger in the air plan is probably set for disaster lol

@Waiting2BAMummy sorry to hear it’s a year now since your chemical. I really hope this month is the one for you.

Overlyanxious · 03/03/2021 11:35

@bitheby I just saw that the AIBU sperm donor thread has been deleted

Waiting2BAMummy · 03/03/2021 15:14

Thanks @Overlyanxious

I didn’t see that thread but I did see an article that they’re talking about banning Facebook groups for sperm donors rather than the act?

OP posts:
bitheby · 03/03/2021 19:41

I didn't meet either of my donors via Facebook so I wonder if it's just Facebook or any app/ site.

Thanks @Overlyanxious. I haven't liked to go back to it. It's a relief really as I probably overshared!

Feeling much more upbeat today. No idea if it's psychological or hormonal but best to just enjoy it!

bitheby · 03/03/2021 19:41

We'd better start a new thread. This one is nearly full.

Waiting2BAMummy · 03/03/2021 20:44

Here’s the link to the article in case you want a read @bitheby. It’s lovely to hear that you’re feeling a little brighter, whatever the reason I’m happy for you.

I’ll start a new thread.
