**** October Testing Thread****

[Cherrygirl]

I wasnt trying to brag, what I was trying to say was trusting your body/ instincts isn't such a bad thing. Having some faith in yourself does not always lead to disappointment.
You gotta believe in something when TTC or it gets miserable. I've been there too over the last couple of years.
I think alot of pms symptoms can be similar to pregnancy symptoms though and nature is cruel like that, hopefully this isn't another chemical for me this time fingers crossed xxx

I didn't think you were trying to brag I understand and agree with you about trusting your body/instincts - it's important. You do have to have some faith in yourself. I hope your bean isn't another chemical for you. I've had a couple in the past before too. Best of luck always best to keep positive I tried another test last night, another BFN - it's starting to make me feel I'm not pregnant, even though I am testing early. I don't remember being this impatient before, but my son is 7 and I feel my biological clock is ticking so feel extra anxious (not that that is going to help) xxx

Oh its me reading back my own posts and thinking I sounded a bit off, yeah according to my app im due AF sat or Sunday so the same time as you?
Xxx

Not at all My app says my AF is due Monday. It has been very accurate so far and I've been regular like clockwork since coming off the pill a few months ago. You are very close to me none the less Did you track your O date? I just went along with what my app said (which is of course just general). If I don't get a BFP this month I think I should possibly track it next month. Though my DH and I tried every day from when my AF finished. So shouldnt have missed the day (providing I did O this month).

Was your O day Friday 6th Oct? As I read full moons are meant to help you conceive and there was a full moon that night lol. Lucky night for baby making so they say xxx

Ooh it was in my fertile week but could have been my ov day! I just use my app I haven't used opks this month. Hopefully the full moon worked for us both then?
Maybe it worked for shepherdess and maybe baby too?
Im just feeling a bit sick for past few hours, it was the same yesterday too.
Keep us updated on your tests! Xxx

Yeah it was my fertile week too, I am hoping the full moon worked for me too. Maybe it did work for Shepherdess too? I hope you're not feeling too sick. I felt sick this afternoon, but I don't know if it's a pregnancy symptom or I felt sick from eating too much cake at work lol. I have felt on edge waiting, but have resisted testing today especially as I don't want to see a BFN. Yesterday when I tested I had tonnes to drink beforehand. So I am going to wait until tomorrow morning and test first thing. I can't wait to test again, but will be gutted if I see another I will keep you updated

I hope you feel better this evening and I have my fingers crossed for all the other ladies still waiting to find out eeek!!! xxx

Just for completeness. I wanted to update to say the witch got me yesterday. ��. OH and I have decided to visit the doctors for advice/assistance. This month made us realise how much we both want this, especially when I was so late. This will happen whichever way it is intended.

Exciting news treetrunks and shepherdess. Wishing you a Happy and healthy pregnancy xx
Good luck everyone else yet to test xxx

 

[treetrunks]

Thanks cherry girl! Look forward to see your test tomorrow, hope its a BFP for you!!
I feel better since I ate 3 waffles, fish fingers and beans haha!
Good grief if im not pregnant Im going to have to get serious on the treadmill before Christmas!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Good that you're going to the doctor...always nice to be in the system so to speak.

I'm 5dpo today. Sore boobs on and off and feel bloated but so sure this is not our month, I'm having a glass of red.

Sorry to hear that Fastnet, hopefully you can get some advice from the GP which is useful.
Good luck, I know its disappointing when AF is late as well, fingers crossed it won't take too much longer for your BFP xxx

It was a still 4 days to go to see if the witch gets me...feeling so unsure now, but got to try to stay positive!

Glad you enjoyed your dinner - that's good. Let's hope your bean is your sticky bean what a Christmas present your first scan would be xxx

 

[Cherrygirl]

Full moon? Tell me more please??

I remember totally hating the taste of tea in the first trimester with DD. And I love tea!

Fx for more BFPs x

Apparently during the full moon women are at their most fertile. But I guess it also depends on when you release your egg too. Let's see how many ladies have FTP's this weekend x

I'm a big believer in things like this. I'm a sheep farmer and the amount of sheep that go into Labour at lambing time when a full moon comes is astonishing

my little girl also came on a full moon; there was a full moon and a change of weather and I went into Labour 7 days over due

So DH and I had an upsetting conversation last night. He feels that I have been placing too much pressure on him and that he feels like I am doubting his performance. I was heartbroken that he would ever feel that way, I was more heartbroken that I am the reason he feels that way ...and all because I showed him my chart and he saw that I was marking off every time we did the dance... so, I have put away my thermometer and I am not going to chart anymore. Honestly, I don't care anymore. I don't care when I ovulate and if we "did the dance" and I don't care if I ever get pregnant. I feel horrible about everything.

I think I have just given up.

You haven't given up...you've just had a really nasty jolt.

Communication is key so whilst it's hard to hear, it's very positive that he felt he could be honest with you. Show him that you've thrown it all away. Reassure him that you don't doubt him and open up to him about how you feel.

Arrange a date night and make it all about the two of you again...the rest can follow naturally.

Big hugs to you. Give yourself some time to heal and find some fun with your husband xx

Sending loads of hugs

I agree with GG, it is a good thing that he felt he could tell you how he feels, otherwise you'd never know and it could ended with a big outburst x

Don't give up, re-group and keep going x

im so sorry, my husband had a kinda bemused expression and made a joke about being a dairy cow when he saw my app. I was horrified and immediately told him id stop and only track when my period is due which is what ive done all along to stop nasty surprise visits when im not expecting it. I felt so awful that he might think im using him or just doing it to get pregnant as hes been making comments asking for reasurance basically that i still find him attractive.

However he assured me it was a joke and now actually uses the chart against me as he has an exact record of whe we dtd and can now calculate exactly how many days ive neglected him apparently haha...its a nightmare

Stupid tapatalk cut off half my message.
My next part was very eloquent and took me ages to write so im sad. But basically you are a good person, dont be too hard on yourself xxx you would never intentionally hurt him and also human emotions are so complex its never one cause. He could be worried about lettig you down or disappointed hat it hasnt happened yet. The male ego and pride is a complicated monster haha xxxx hang in here xx

Also sending hugs Try not to lose your positivity. I hope things calm down between you and you DH very soon. Like one of the other ladies said, try to have fun together. Sometimes we can put too much pressure on ourselves and partners. Hope all is okay again soon x

Hate upsetting conversations about TTC. Lots of love to you KatD! Sometimes nice to take a break from charting etc. I don't even want to know when I'm due this month, but I already know so I'll still be waiting. Don't give up, just relax with it xxx
