November 2018 Testing Thread

[chattychar1990]

I'm too scared to test.. promised myself I wouldn't until day after period is due... do you think I should test?

When is AF due hun?

 

[Hendy1]

I am 10DPO, still no symptoms except maybe some watery CM but I think that is normal for me at this stage anyway!

 

[MamaWannabe]

Not due until Sunday 4th... too early right?

5 days until af then.
If you have a FRER you can test tomorrow if you really wanted to. But if you wanted to wait then you should. X

 

[MamaWannabe]

I think I'll try and hold out and wait...

 

[Vintageling]

I've stopped testing early beucase I don't like seeing the stark white and trying to second guess myself and af arrived either as I'm waiting for the test or like the day after

 

[Crumble]

I am 7DPO today, starting a bit of nausea but it is normal for me lately. Yesterday I had diarrhea (tmi) but we had curry for tea, so could be that (either if it never given me loose stools before). Other than this no symptoms.
I am having a lot of problems at work at the moment, my manager is giving me a very hard time and the general atmosphere at the moment is awful, this is not helping with my anxiety and depression....I feel a bit deflated in general but I am trying with all of my power to stay positive and to keep going and to don't loose my hope for my crumble to come....but it is so hard as this is already the sixth cycle and we had the chemical in august
Sorry....I feel I am randomly talking ....I am going to work now, 12 hours..... breath in and breath out.....breath in and breath out.....

Sorry you are feeling a bit pants crumble xx
As for your manager being an idiot, that is a reflection of them and not you. Try not to let them get to you. If they can't be professional then just step away from them and preserve yourself. It's hard after a chemical. I literally dont know what to think this month, I'm all over the place.

So ff has cross hairs giving O as Saturday. The chart looks like it was then too. We didn't bd on Saturday. Well we did but it kind of didn't get anywhere as oh was feeling stressed, tired and generally unwell. Femometer thinks O day was Friday. We bd Tues, wed, Thu, Fri. So if it was Friday then we also got it on O day. But looking at the chart, I agree with ff that O was Saturday and we didn't then, or Sunday because the mood was low after Saturday.
Keep reading that you don't need to bd on O day necessarily as it's better to have sperm waiting for the egg but I have to say I'm gutted that we weren't able to do everything we could. I can't tell my oh. He has been feeling really stressed about it, and I dont want to upset him. He barely said anything all day on Sunday until I finally got him to tell me what was wrong.

I know there's nothing I can do now but I'm sad..

Also, no idea when to expect af as one app is saying that my cycle will be pretty normal length but if I did O on CD16 then I'm looking at a 30 day cycle which takes me to 10th Nov.

I'm confused

Try not to worry Radley, it takes something like 2 days for the sperm to get to the egg so all the BD in the run up would have been ideal. If it's going to happen it will, the later BD in smep is only really incase the o day was wrong from what I've read, you should be covered for a variation of 1 day because the sperm can survive 5 days. Even Tuesday could have been your lucky day and you have 3 other days just incase as well!

Thank you. I think I'm just stressed after the chemical it will be what it will be won't it

Crumble sorry that you are feeling so down I don't now how you are feeling as i have never been through a chemical but i can imagine it to be horrendous. We are all here for you. We are both on the same cycle so lets hope that 6 is a lucky number for us

Radley please do not worry that you didn't BD on the day of ov (if ff is correct). I have read somewhere that its always best for the little swimmers to be there and already waiting for when the egg is released so even though you feel like you haven't done all that you can i think you are totally covered.
Please dont be sad i hope us ladies can cheer you up xx

I'm just a bit stressed. It will pass. Well it has to as there is nothing I can do about it now! Think I'm a bit worried as well as I'm back to work tomorrow and although my back is tons better (literally the first couple of days of it being bad I couldn't walk without help), I just don't know how it will fair with the 12 hour shifts ahead of me.
That said, tomoreow is 13 hours in the maternity unit so Im hoping I may get to deliver a little babba or two I probably will cry so I'll have to leg it out as that will not look professional t all or install confidence in the mother! It's going to be an interesting day

Wow so amazing that you will be working in the maternity unit. I hope you deliver some bubbas. I am an emotional wreck so any job like that would not be good for me lol.
I cry my eyes out every time i watch One Born Every Minute x

I've not delivered a baby yet in spite of being om the road for 2 years so I'm glad to be going there tomorrow. Everyone said it's the best placement. I like the idea of delivery a baby is a nice Controlled environment rather than in an ambulance or on the floor, lol. I did have a lady with pph once and that really was something to see, not for the faint hearted. She was fine when the midwife stopped panicking (she was new). I though my Paramedic colleague of 25 years was going to throw her out of the way!

If we ever get pregant I am 100% having it in hospital. People love the midwife led units and they are great but if the proverbial hits the fan that's a bumpy 25 min drive on lights to hospital here. No thanks

Char - there is a new program - delivering babies. I've not watched it yet
