Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

Racja that's good about ovulating over the weekend ... Yay ... Makes it a lot easier!

Physicskate I know I don't fancy doing it vaginally! I think you have to wait longer to? I don't know if I'm putting in my mouth right either .. One side of my tongue gets a different temp to the other!
I'm taking it with a pinch of salt but doing it out of interest in case it does mean something. I didn't test in time to see my temps hike up after ovulation .. Just seeing if they dip down now

What's five star babies on???

Just realised if you go back to the post on iPhone you don't lose what you have written - there was me trying to remember everything - doh

I literally Dtd asleep one night haha was so tired and not up for it at all but thought if we don't do it then I will regret it. OH is quite good and sort of says common we need to make a little baby..!

My friend said last night that when she starts trying she will be really cool about it and no opks or sex on this day that day. I thought to myself yea that's exactly what I said!! It's different when you actually start trying.

I will be waiting out but will prob do one on my birthday on Saturday :)

Then wait after that and see if AF comes due Tuesday if have 26 day cycle like last month.

Just worked out I might be ovulating over the Bank Hokiday weekend and I'm not working for once so plenty of DTD!!

Oh and working on the DH is tricky! He is tired

Just offered him a massage later... Will see if I can convince him

CD12

Nimisha, last month I Ov day 23! But was first month off the pill so I have no idea about this month. Not seen anything promising yet. Been using the cheap Opk sticks & temping.

My temps been all over the place - looks like a rollercoaster!!

Jod, i sympathise as was in that place last month although I didn't get any BFP's. The waiting makes u feel like u are going crazy.

Radders, I think u should wait as even though the fr pick up BFP early I still think u better wait til at least 14dpo onwards. Or after when AF due. I know u must b eager to know

nimisha I find when I'm ovulating in really frisky!! So DTD isn't a problem! finding time between work and two young kids though can be challenging. We are Secret Shaggers!!

I'm watching it. Mental!

Anyone watching Five Star Babies?? How the other half live eh??

CD 10 hi ladies!

Footprints I'm right behind you waiting for ovulation. When do you normally ovulate? I'm usually CD 15 to CD22. I've bought some cheapy OPKS to give me some idea.

Going to start the dtd but DH keeps making comments about having to hide from me. It's definitely my choice to go for number three, as he says he doesn't 'not' want to enough to say no. I don't think he's going to make it easy though! Going to try the SMEP plan so will need loads of energy, how do people get into the mood for so much dtd?

radders I'd try and hold out if you can? If you get a negative you'll not be any wiser as could be false at this point. I'm so with you being over the TWW though

jod when are you next testing?

I'm so fed up girls. I just feel like AF is coming again. Craving chocolate today and feeling so teary - classic PMS

CD3

I feel a lot less broody now that we are officially TTC... last two cycles I didn't OV until at least CD20... so I've got a bit of a wait until much interesting happens.

Sucha, I just googled 'dreams progesterone' and apparently vivid dreams during LP can be common!

radders, I too am dubious about my thermometer. Last 3 days for me: 36.21, 36.47, 35.99, and I do it at the same time! I've heard it's more accurate if you temp vaginally, and while it's tempting to get better data, I'm not sure I could bring myself to do that! Plus you are meant to temp before moving and how on earth could one manage vaginal temping without moving!!!??

CD30 I don't know what to do. If I don't get AF soon I likely will. No sign of the witch yet. A part of me is hoping that maybe it was just too early to test.
I still have a lot of symptoms. And I still have that spotting which reminded me of implantation in my mind

I got the FRER from home health UK. They were only 6.50 - something like that.
It says it can be used 6 days before miss d period.... Which means tomorrow! But would only be about 7 dpo so don't think it would be wise to test tomorrow.

Jod do you think you will test again?

Looking forward to hearing if anyone has Bfps this month!

Share your Hubble tips with is footprints! 😂

CD 12

Beautiful day! I've been busy but every now and then my heart pangs for a baby! Want it so much.

Sounds positive radders,
Jod - I'm sure AF won't get you.

Looking good to the other ladies..yes I get bad dreams lately too, think it's anxiety.

Trying to think of ways to get DH in the mood later..

CD 17
Hi everyone, 4 dpo, I think! I get way to excited about the new CD. I don't feel any different, although Ovia kindly pointed out that I may begin to see early symptoms of conception! Here's hoping.. Nothing really worth mentioning though, increased CM like you radders tmi but I was quite uncomfortable at one point yesterday, half expected it to be AF.
I'm intrigued about all the temping, something else I could obsess over if we don't succeed this month. Definitely going to try it!
remember I don't think I'll ever think we dtd enough! I'm always looking back thinking we should have squeezed in more!
Food wise I'm doing ok mimi, pretending Brazil nuts don't have calories though! Had four this morning!
jem hope it's the second option!

jod eek very exciting, hang in there!
mimi I have 29/30 day cycles. I think I noticed my dreams became more vivid before my period last month :(
Hello remember did you get a positive OPK at all?
radders my boobs feel heavier and fuller too and I've had the twinges. Sorry you're feeling low too, we should be able to get away from work this avo and lie in a park somewhere to enjoy this sunshine! Very exciting FRER arrival - where did you get them from?

Another symptom I've had is loose bowels for the last few days, or nothing at all. Usually I am very regular.

Again, could be progesterone dropping as another unfertilised egg dissolves :( or could be the forward march of a bold fertilised egg into my uterus. Which one will it be???

Oh also my bbt went up this morning from 36.38 to 36.55...
I'm dubious about this thermometer!

CD21

Hello everybody!
Not really any symptoms yet although I have noticed an increase in creamy sticky CM.
I thought My boobs felt heavy yesterday for a bit but prob over thinking it.
Had some twinges too like ovulation pains but again.

Suchajem I feel groggy too and bit down in dumps.

Trying to keep positive and not let work stress me out so its a nice environment for an egg to settle!!

Had some frer tests arrive this morning

Hi ladies,
Raddersmrs, Jod, Tee, MiMi, Nimisha, Parney, SuchA and anyone else I might have missed off!

I am back at work and did an OPK yesterday which showed up as negative! So I'm thinking I am in the TWW at the moment! I don't think we DTD as much case should have done but will have to wait it out now!

kkk was saying hello sucha,nimisha and remember.

sorry for the nightmares sucha ,it just might be early signs how long are your cycles?

CD30?
Still no AF I think that's a good thing? In one had it is as I'm not "out" on the other hand I would like to know where I stand.
Didn't test - don't even have tests in house now.
Symptoms - BB's tender and BIG, back aching, tired, A lot of discharge?!
DTD last night just incase. Can't hurt right?!

Cd21

Woken up last two nights in midst of nightmares / vivid dreams now - I think this is normal pre AF thing though that I had never noticed before ttc.

Seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning too - just feel inexplicably down in the dumps. Sad, tired, grumps. It's a beautiful sunny day I hope this will lift my spirits

How's everyone doing? Jod hopefully no sign of the AF for you.
Mimi - remember nimisha...? Sorry I'm not with you.

radder at cd21 hope there are more symptoms, waves
