SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - Supporting eachother on TTC journey

ni same as you - DH first and then later parents. What about parents in law though? I think my DH would want to tell them at same time. And then telling them means telling his brothers and aunts uncles grandparents I think!

footprints oh yes you guys straight after DH I wouldn't find out the sex but it'll be our first so not fussed either way.

tee I would try and get to 12 weeks before work too if I can

summer really hope it's not xx

Footprints when is your AF due? Just wondering whether you've tested early? Would have loved to be BFP buddies!!

Think AF is here!! Went toilet and saw traces! she's early!

Hi radders - it fell to 36.51 from 36.56 yesterday. It was 36.7 the day before...
It is still above coverline (36.41) footprints. I've got clear to creamy CM too, but have always had that before AF in previous cycles too.

I think I would wait to tell anyone other than OH as long as possible... probably after 12 week scan. Work might be a bit tricky, but luckily I'm not a chemist! Only the solid borax that I need to worry about - and that's only two practicals a year!

I've had some twinges today but I think these are AF cramps. I got so used to being completely doubled up in agony with the copper coil (codeine would barely touch it) that I barely notice these....

Nim- get on the kiwi quick!!

Jem- I'd tell family and close friends straight away, as if something happened I could rely on them for support. Other friends after 13w scan. I'm my own boss so don't need to worry about work.
Yes would find out sex, didn't with boys but this time would like to b prepared. Wouldn't tell anyone though.. Keep it as surprise!
I'd tell you ladies straight away all of it!!

Kiwifruit. Hmm, have to buy some. I'm CD 11 and waiting for fw. Think it's this weekend. OPKs all negative and no cm to speak of.

Jem,

I'll tell Dh straight away but wait a bit to tell my parents, maybe 6-8 weeks. Work I'll have to think about. Probably a bit later.

Just a little daydream-when we-are-pregnant thought... How long would you wait to tell people? Who would you tell first? Would you find out the sex?

FRER is two lines foot, not sure what yields a cross, maybe clear blue?

Kiwi for post lunch snack ✅

Good to know about kiwi footprints! Thanks for the tip! I'm feeling AF twinges now.

Footprints haha if my oH sperm looked like the Cm I'm producing I would be sending him off to the doctors believe me!

Kiwi fruit ... Another one to add to the list then xx

Ahh summer - really frustrating isn't it! I just want something to happen. Just waiting around now. Twiddling thumbs.

Ladies- just looking at a chart online where quite a few people have fallen pregnant and they were eating Brazil nuts and strangely.. Kiwi fruit. The kiwi fruit was eaten up to ovulation, Brazil nuts were every day! Just googled kiwi fruit benefits and it has loads of success stories. Let's get on it ladies

Footprints; nada - nothing!!! Did a cheapie today and it was a bfn! I'm just going to super prepare for next cycle!!! Let's hope it's the one!! Still bloated and booby ache but that's my pre-menstrual symptoms. Told you, Aunt Flo not happy with me for trying to cut her off for 9 months! She's being a pain!!

Radders- sounds like a good sign to me. Mine was more clear but lots of it. Hard to tell on the tp! Don't get much time to investigate further up without boys bustling in the bathroom. You sure all your cm is not overflow of sperm? you did get your gold star too for effort maybe the tank was full up? Hee hee X

Summer /physic just checking up on my hopefully BFP buddies this week. Anything else to report. Nothing from me, opk neg (thank goodness after marathon of positives this month). No AF show, really thought she was coming yesterday. But wet down there, clear cm only though.

Had dream about getting a BFP last night it was on a test where it comes up as a cross? So wondering if I should hunt these tests down? Any ideas? Think the FRER is two single lines?

Mimi- was it AF? How u feeling today?

Ah yea I thought you were one of the teachers!

I'm trying to stay calm at work. It's better at the minute anyway but will feel even better if I know I only have 9 months! Xx

Nope I work in marketing radders

There are a few teachers on this group though I think

Jem are you a teacher??

Mine is thick and creamy lumpy type stuff. Pretty yack to be honest but I'm seeing it as a positive yack!

I've stopped taking EPO, still taking omega 3 xx

Must have been the time for a wee last night foot

Sucha- we posted at same time! How funny we were both awake at 3am!

Cd 40!!! 13dpo

Radders-I had lots of CM at your dpo not quite as slippery as EWCM but not far off and was lots of it. It's only really just eased up a bit ! I put it down to EPO as that increases it by lots! You need to stop the EPO after ovulation if u haven't already?

Physic - my temp dropped slightly yesterday but went back up again today. So it may go up? Is it below your coverline?

Jodders- that's exactly how I feel around ovulation time but it's like that for 3-4 days. So you should hopefully have time!

Today's stats-
Still no AF, temp spiked up to 36.67! A hot chick today had cramps at 3am needed a wee in night. Nothing else to report ..

Hope you all have a good morning catch up later, got to take boys to school. Xx

physics I'm sure I read temping can be affected by all sorts of things. Hope you're not out.

radders quite a bit but no more than usual for this time in my cycle.

Last night was wide awake at 3am bursting for the toilet and heart racing. Took me a couple of hours to get back to sleep am really stressed with work at the mo but not usually this bad.

Looking back at my notes in Pink Pad though I usually get insomnia before AF. Not much hope for this cycle.

Tee it's the same time in the day. So should take aspirin in morning and folic in evening for example rather than at same time as it can stop the absorption of the folic acid ... I didn't look into it just saw it on someone's informative post!

Hoping its goods signs but I'm thinking it's just normal for time in cycle although the can't believe how much there is is x
