Destination conception ... route PMA.

That is super cute Charley!!! ❤️❤️
I need to start getting serious with this TTC business, no more guess work! I'm CD12 today - still figuring out my cycles... last few months, they have been between 28-30 days but AF lasted 9 days this month Does a long AF push OV back or does it means OV will occur straight after AF ends?? I'm embarrassingly clueless! If the average cycle is 28 days, and you ovulate around 12-14 days after the start of AF, I could be ovulating sometime in the next couple of days, right? Unless long AF delays my OV. I need to get me some opks! No time for IC order, better dash to Boots now! Any recommendations for ones that won't break the bank??

Moo I just got it off Amazon it's so tiny!! I want something to put in it and squeeeeeze!

Hippy, your cousin seems very lucky! However I'm trying to now think of it as we are all having this lovely experience of getting to know some lovely ladies, getting lots of support from our other halfs and getting really, really excited about what's to come. So when it's our turns, we will all be extra extra happy In terms of the laughing, I'm super extreme! I'm either a grumpy miserable cow or I'm life and soul and there's not much in between haha! Today is a very happy positive day which I think is all down to your wonderful positivity and quotes rubbing off so thank you!

Moo I'm working from home today but I'm the same as you! Once I get started on here I'm in trouble haha!

Rose glad to hear I'm not the only one with mad dreams! Fx it means your implantation bleed isn't far off

Thanks for the positivity Archie! How are you feeling today?

Ah charley I love it!! Where is this from?!

This just arrived 😍

Hippy - sorry about what your cousin said BUT it's prove that it can happen, it does happen and it WILL happen for you! Perfection takes time and maybe that's the reason for the delay :)

Charley - step away from the tests!!

Ps also supposed to be working - but I was late home last night and needed to get caught up haha! I couldn't concentrate on work until I did! Not sure what I'll put on my timesheet for that 1/2 hour!!

Salem - so sorry to hear about af :( and on your birthday too - so cruel. There's a few of us will have fertile weeks around the same time mid Feb so let's do this!! Also hope everything is OK with your friend.

I'm interested in this sperm to egg plan ... I'll have to Google and get oh on board along with everything else we're planning to try this month!

Rose - fx for your valentines bfp!

Mrsbarnett - hope af stays away, sending some positive thoughts your way.

Baking - messy play sounds fab! I run a rainbow group (girls aged 4-7) and I love it. Disappointing you've had a poor turnout but hopefully your numbers will continue to pick up. There's a lot of baby names that are just a no no because of association with girls I've had in rainbows - I'm sure you're the same!!

Hippy - very romantic oh you have - that's lovely :) well done on holding out but I know what you mean about the fear - if we don't do it then we don't see snow white and we are pg until proven otherwise! Fx that second line appears when you do give in and poas!

Sweet - fx hubby recovers and is in tip top baby making condition for fw!

Charley - vivid dreams are an early pg symptom - fx it's a sign! :)

Bella - welcome! That all sounds positive re ov ... I use IC opks so not sure about the smiley faces etc

Dolly - v good PMA re the antenatal chats, I hope we can all migrate to an antenatal chat and then a post natal chat together!! (Sooner rather than later!)

I think that's me caught up ... sorry if I've missed anyone out!

Happy hump day everyone! Esp for anyone in fw who will literally be having a happy hump day!! ;)

Is it a 1000 posts?

Well I'm hoping to see lots of BFPs I love checking each morning to see if there are any.

Charley I dreamt last night that I had an implantation bleed among other weird dreams

Hippychic I think it's 1000 before starting a new thread? Or there about, so maybe when we hit 900 start thinking about starting a new one.

Salem Sorry to hear about AF arriving, I've worked out my dates and I think I'll either get BFP or AF on my birthday next month. I'm on CD2 now so lets keep each other company over the next few weeks (along with anyone else who's been visited by AF this week)

Charley and Hippy I've got such a good feeling about you 2 getting your BFP's this week

Bella Hello! You're joining such a lovely group of positive ladies

mrsBarnett Fx this isn't AF for you

Sorry if I've missed anyone, I'm meant to be working but can't keep off this thread

I wish Ovia would stop telling me to take a pregnancy test!!! I'm so easily swayed 😂

Thanks hippy! That's great information. Before TTC I dreamt a lot that I would start to think I was pregnant and just suddenly go in to labour so the BFP makes a change at least haha!

Bella I've gained just under 3 stone since start of October so don't feel too bad I just presumed I'd get pregnant and fat so no need to watch what I'm eating which of course just made me fat and not pregnant! Luckily I'm super tall so don't carry it too badly but I feel awful. Back to ww and trying to stay off the booze! Good luck with sw! I lost 3 stone on that a few years ago.

Bella don't worry! I'm sure you will ov soon! Mine normally differs between day 13-16. I think they say that can vary but your luteral phase should stay very similar. Make sure you get lots of dtd in

Because I am a stress head I am starting to mildly panic I am not going to ovulate this month.

I have had flashing smileys every morning this week but no static yet. Lots of EWCM too.

The last two months I have had a maximum of 2 flashing smileys. So now I am wondering what's going on. I am on CD15 and have ovulated at cd 15 and 21 the previous 2 months.

Need to calm down and be patient but neither are my forte!

Anyone else have inconsistent ovulation?

@charley2016 have gained approx 12lbs since wedding in early nov so guess that's just on my mind. did slimming world pre-wedding which was great for a carboholic big eater like me. so back on the slimming world bus for me, which iv read is TTC friendly due to a lot of fresh unprocessed foods.

good luck and fx to all about to POAS this morn.

opks and i have my flashing smiley face for day 2 - know it's only a guide but still blown away that i'm getting this after 20+yrs on BC and 1 cycle in.

PMA order of the day for me, iv made this TTC decision so why don't i believe my body can do it... i'm such a weirdo when it comes to this xxx

Sorry to hear about the spotting MrsB - really hope it's not wicked AF.
Hippy and Charley, impressed by your patience! And Charley, awwww re the dreams! I used to get dreams like that too when TTC first time round, I would wake up so happy! And must have been really lovely for you getting to play with all the little people at work for a change. Good advice Hippy - you are so clued up! Amazing knowledge resource in this thread
On my way to work now after the stressful nursery drop off! Looking forward to relaxing on the bus!
Hope everyone has a great day - thanks for today's PMA quotes Hippy x

Morning hippy, I just woke all dazed and confused. Another dream that I poas at work, got a positive then ran round whispering it to everyone I've literally dreamt about it everyday since the weekend. I think my heads telling me I'm stressing about it too much but I don't know how not to think about it haha! Jumped out of bed to pee so that I don't have fmu to tempt me. Well done on not testing, you've done amazing!

Mrs, sorry about the spotting! I really hope it's not AF for you!

Salem, how are you this morning?

Sweet hope dh is still resting and reserving all his energy for fw.

Bella I really want to lose the weight first too but I think every time I get AF now I end up comfort eating for a week haha! Are you going to do a certain diet or anything?

Baking playgroup sounds great! One of my staff was off yesterday and I couldn't get cover for her so I cancelled a meeting and went in to cover. Was so nice to have a whole afternoon just playing with the children again!

Hope everybody has a lovely day!

Started spotting today. Really hoping it's not AF. However it probably is. Cd57 today.
