Pandorica: I've got my fingers crossed for us both! Come on Christmas positives!

Vintage I’m not in the best mood girl. Af hasn’t arrived yet but i know she’s coming. I’m very emotional this cycle and I really need some distraction but the lockdown isn’t helping. I’m sure I’ll be better in a couple of days...
I know that BDing can sometimes end up like a chore wile ttc and I cannot hide that it’s been times that I did it just for ttc sake. I know it’s not very good for the couple and fortunately fo me it’s not usually the case. Try to set the mood and not just go for it because your temps for example says so! You got this girl! Don’t skip the cycle

Alex, I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time. Just because you’ll feel better in a couple days doesn’t mean it’s not awful right now. And lockdown for sure isn’t helping anyone’s emotional state. Acknowledge it and hopefully you can find a distraction soon.
I’m going to try really hard not to stress this week, and hope for the best.

Alex: I hope you have a better day!

Vintage: good luck this week with catching the egg! Maybe spice things up. Candles, maybe some wine or champagne if you drink. If all else the alcohol relaxes you and your inhibitions and it definitely won't hurt your chances. St the very least it'll help you enjoy it and not feel like it's a chore, I think. Just an idea to help. If you don't drink obviously ignore me hahaha!

Southern, it’s not a bad idea! Easier to execute if O day was over the weekend, lol! I did buy something fun to wear that might help too, but it won’t be here until Thursday. I’m expecting to get a positive OPK by then. I started testing and the line has been barely there the last two days. I don’t remember when it started getting dark last month (it’s digital but I still check the line). I’ll have to check back on my posts.
Alex, I’m wondering if I’ve got a short surge too. Last month I got a positive one day and a negative the next. When I was trying for my daughter (forever ago, lol) I know the first month I stopped testing after getting the first positive and the second month (when she was conceived) I didn’t get a positive all month, so I definitely thought I was out. Something I’ll have to pay attention to going forward.

Vintage: hopefully it turns positive on the weekend and you can wear the fun thing and have a drink or two and relax and have fun with it!

Thank you ladies! Af came yesterday with a vengeance. It’s one of those awful ones. Hopefully we’ll get some good news and maybe some Xmas surprises from you all! Having everything crossed ladies. Let’s give some hope to this board!!

Alex: sorry hon! I hope you get it next time! I'm 6 dpo today and I feel a little nauseous. Thought I was hungry. Hasn't settled yet. I know implantation CAN happen at 6 dpo but surely I cannot possibly have actual symptoms this early? It's just the regular progesterone, right?

I’m sorry, Alex. I can always tell when it’s going to be a rough cycle if I’m super emotional before. I hope you’re feeling a little better.
Southern, I can’t imagine you’re already having symptoms but you know your body best.
I’m just hoping we can get in two more rounds of BD before Saturday. Then I can get a whole week before the TWW starts driving me crazy, lol.

Vintage: I don't think so. It's far too early. Still hard not to associate every twinge with pregnancy in the TWW, ya know? I go into it with all the reason and sanity and logic and even science. Then as soon as I get anything that could be a symptom it all goes out the window lol. It eventually faded so probably wasn't anything special.
