New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

Good thanks Paige.
Sounds too good to be true with all the foods you eat but we shall see.
It actually had a few good pointers for pregnant women, foods to avoid/increase. And there's a special booklet so you can still follow it to some extent when pregnant. The 'diet' is basically just healthy eating so won't do any harm. I doubt you do the weigh in though, that wouldn't be fair lol.

How was slimming world MrsBac?

Ooh congratulations Ren.
Look at the silver lining - you won't be suffering morning sickness for your big day! Hopefully it will happen soon for you though. X

I'm with you all on taking a step back. My new focus is losing weight - joining slimming world Thursday - I'd like to lose a stone before gaining it again through pregnancy lol.

Thank you. In the spring. Just a small quiet one but still lots to organise!

When you getting married ren congratulations

Hi All,

Happy new year!

Sounds like we have all had a mixed bag over the festive season, here is to lots of BFPs and happy times in 2016 :-)

AF arrived for me just before new year, so this year I am ditching the OPKs and only using my app to record AF.

To keep myself busy I will be planning a wedding and finishing off renovations on our house!

If we've had no luck by the 1year point I will toddle off to the docs to see if anything is amiss.

Hey Pixie

Been off the pill for a year now so not that long compared to some people. I just found the stress of the planning a bit too much and was getting me down, and bedding slowly became a chore lol. I found myself planning things around my cycle. Not the way to go. Hopefully a break will do both us some good. I'm going to focus on booking a few holidays instead :).

Good luck with your next cycle. X

Sorry to here you are having a bad time paige how long have you been TTC?? I know how you feel, when I got af this month, it hit me particularly hard - just thought it would have happened by now. I tried to take the relaxed approach the last couple of months, no opks etc, still hasn't worked so have ordered some more plus some conceive plus for this month. Chin up x

Hi Pixie

Ok thanks you? So we decided to give the ttc a break for a while it's doing more damage then good all the waiting and the stress etc.

Hi all, how is everyone? X

Happy new year ladies! Let's hope to lots of bfp in 2016 xx

Happy new year ladies! All the best for 2016 Xxx

Happy New Year. 2015 had the biggest highs and lows of my life. May 2016 be kind to us all.

Tell me about it Brenna. true but to be honest I'm not getting my hopes up at all. I'm pretty sure I missed it :(. It's not the first time I've missed. Always something comes up around that time. Maybe it's the gods trying to tell me something.

That sucks Paige. Sperm last a few days in you system though so if you have DTD in the last couple of day that may be enough.

Lol Pixie

Well husband mum wasn't well last night so was home alone again last night. Well I say wasn't well more like too drunk to look after herself. Can't believe I've missed it AGAIN is was very angry and upset last night all because of his stupid drunk mother. I don't get on with the in laws any more lol.

Woody pleased you kinda had a better few days. Thoughts go out to your friend x

Hi Paige. I get 2 days in a row that dark each month. I'd call that a positive.

I feel a bit better. I had a couple of days off doing anything, just walked the dog and read books/watched movies. I feel better now. DH has been wonderful, doing all the cooking and dishes and generally spoiling me. That helped too. Today we went to see two very close friends. It was lovely. Then we met the new boyfriend of one of them. Then we went to see my friend in the hospice. That was hard as she had been out of bed in a chair for an hour for the first time in 3 weeks and she was shattered and in and out of sleep when we got there. I think she had quite a headache too. When she did wake up she was too tired to speak.

Paige I would say that is a positive! Get cracking ;)

I mean as dark...

Wow I must be say thinking of something else

I would say that's positive it's as hard as the control line x

Morning all.
I need your opinion. I got a few opk and took one this morning. What you reckon? Positive or Negative? Normally I get what i think are ovulation pains so I have a idea when I might be ovulating however I've had nothing so far.

Omg Woody Australia and NZ sound amazing, I really want to go there!

Brenna hang in there, it sounds like its been a tough few days for you. My emotions are so up and down at the minute, have had a close friend announce pg this week which is absolutely wonderful but also brings with it emotions of its own. Everywhere I look I see children and babies.

I'm only 2 dpo and I'm already obsessing over what's happening in there!

Yes I got my thermometer from Amazon too, it's called babymad something in pink. I'm taking my temp every morning but think it will take a couple of cycles to understand it all! Is temp supposed to rise after ovulation?

Yes there's been a few tears this Christmas for me and I'm taking myself off facebook for a while as I'm finding it just makes me feel worse! I need to find something else to focus on as well as just waiting is driving me nuts! I might take up knitting!
