Oh no. Sorry Kat. I had everything crossed for you. Sometimes it's like torture watching the BBT drop. xx

Congratulations Summerwine and commiserations to those that the witch has caught

I am fed up as my IBS has been playing me up for the last couple of weeks though at least it means I have not been symptom spotting as had pretty much constant cramps etc.

Had some conflict with my OH lately. Seems the honeymoon phase from getting married in July has worn off. Makes me think I wont be too disappointed if it doesn’t happen this month so I will happily sprinkle baby dust on anyone else waiting.

 

[Summerwine]

I'm so sorry KatD! x

I'm in two minds about whether to OPK this month or not - my app says fertile window now so should really be OPKing now .. but kind of thinking I don't want to and just wait and see. But then when AF comes along end of the month I'll be annoyed I haven't tried. Feel like I'm just setting myself up for disappointment!!

How are things going for everyone? x

JR...consider which option, emotionally, would be worse for you... Not using OPKs and feel like you didn't catch the egg because there's a chance it would have been different if you did... Oooor using OPKs and at least know that a possible negative was no fault on your part. Either way hun...you are doing the best you can. Xxxxx don't be hard on yourself

Thanks! I think I'm going to use them, but it's so emotionally draining. Need to get back in the spirit of it. Things have been a bit tough between me and my partner since AF, we're both just so defeated and no sex since

I know exactly how you are feeling! TTC took all the pleasure and intimacy out of it for us and made it unbearably mechanical, so much so that DH struggled to finish. That made me question things between us that should never have been questioned. That's when I decided that I was going to change my mindset. I refuse to let this become a rift between my husband and I. I do want children but not at the expense of my marriage. So... Im chiiiiillll now. If it happens it happens but if it doesn't I still get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and the love of my life. Not being able to have a baby won't make me love him less and it won't make my life any less beautiful or fullfilled. BUT that is just me, each woman is unique with her own set of circumstances and ideas. I really hope you and DH get emotionally connected again xxx this is horrible for both of you

Thank you Kat!! Luckily last night we found ourselves again, hopefully we won't let this get in the way of our relationship xx

We were feeling the same - the sex was really mechanical and the intimacy was not great. My DH was having trouble finishing, which made it worse. I would dread my fertile window each month. We have switched to AI which takes all the stress away, and after one cycle of that the intimacy and fun has come back as we are not associating it with TTC.

If you can dtd every other day then you don't need to use opks. I do think they put more pressure on.

That's lovely to hear sunflower. Think we all have ups and downs during this process. Hopefully more ups than downs!!

 

[JemRose]

Sorry KatD just seen your post about AF, was really rooting for you!!

Congrats summerwine I'm so so so pleased for you, lucky thing!! I hope your pregnancy goes smoothly xx

[BabyBrain80]

Congratulations Summerwine!

9dpo here and bfn so far. Not expecting a bfp since we never dtd much due to an argument....think we missed the fertile window entirely!!

Anyway good luck ladies!

 

[Shepherdess]

so Ladies I'm 9dpo today and quite fancied poas but I'm terrible at holding my wee during the night. I usually get up at some point to put my daughters blanket on or doddy in which is usually between 2 and 3 but I HAVE to go for a wee once I'm up otherwise I can't get back to sleep. last night I wasn't up until 345, so is that late enough that fmu won't be strong enough?

I've tried restricting fluid, tried staying up later and making sure I go last thing

 

[LuckyLaura]

Have we had any updates from babybrain80, Rainbow.23 and Janeyjan ?? Did i miss these hehe xx

Shepherdess, the day I tested, I hadn't planned to. I was 10dpo and tested with 6pm urine when I got in from work! I got nothing on a cheapy test, but a line of the FRER. What tests are you using?

 

[BabyBrain80]

Laura still bfn here yesterday at 9dpo........and I forgot to test this morning! (Boys were driving me mad lol) will try later. X
