Destination conception ... route PMA.

Yup and I have really bad cramps really low down in my hips!

Congrats on stopping smoking! I can only imagine how difficult that is, especially if you've done it for a long time. Well done too on managing to hold off. Think I'll pick up a FRER tomorrow to do on Wednesday and if that's negative too then I'll accept that I'm out.

Salem I hope your willpower has been better than mine today!

When I got close to my af last month I was doing one opk & two ICs. I'd love to be able to pee on something but I'm 5dpo so completely pointless. In a way I like doing them early because I always dismiss negatives saying ahwell it was too early, makes it less gutting I think & then by the time AF arrives I've kinda slowly got myself used to the fact it's not happening this month. Plus because I've been off BC for such a long time if I get a chemical I'd rather know as otherwise I'm gonna have to start going down the infertility route. Somehow though I still fully believe I can conceive naturally if I put a proper effort in (wasnt really trying before)

Haha I may have just peed on both an OPK and a IC .... at 10dpo and about half an hour since my last wee! Why do I do these things to myself! Grr!

Salem I'm always tempted to POAS lat month I was doing opks right up to AF, I did keep getting positives though, so was wondering what was going on. This month I was pleased to just get a positive for like one & half days when I was actually due to OV.
Emhw, yeah I've read the secret, & sort of realised I got brought up that way by my dad, I remember applying for secondary schools he only put down schools you needed to pass exams to get into, I begged him to put down a back up plan but he just told me there was no need to. I'm glad you got your test I tend to believe in signs too, but I suppose if u follow the secret if you believe in a sign you might be making it happen.
Charley fingers crossed we're eating for two you should come to my house I have about 30 pg tests

Well after my trip to Asda, I went to boots -closed and then Tesco - none!! I think someone's trying to tell me to lay off the tests haha!!! I'm absolute starving today too Rose. I took a sandwich too work and ate it before o even got there!

I tried conceive plus this month (same as preseed) and also EPO and grapefruit juice.... still no EWCM for me but it was only just over a week.

Interesting thanks Archies and rose i quite like the core think ill try EPO too :) nothing ventured and all that.

Thats nuts you drew the house of your dreams then bought it! Ha! sounds lovely :) Have you read that book i think its called the secret that applies similar logic?

In true spirit i tried to order a babygrow jersey gaelic football top as a gift to surprise my OH when i get our BFP...anyway my card didnt work on the site so i gave up, but then got an email from the site to go via paypal-bizarre anyway-quite happy as i thought the inital card prob was an omen! ha! Its actually a really ugly baby grow but my OH will be loving it..... I'm off for a swim to keep my positive mind going-although not shaved my legs hahahahaha!

Evening everyone .
Sorry for those with AF but keep thinking positively, your day will come.

Hippy I am sooooo tempted to POAS. I'm 9DPO so not sure anything would appear? I am still spotting but I have a feeling it's the start of AF. I don't feel any symptoms apart from feeling sick last night, which was odd.
However, I haven't had any PMS/ moods/ bitchmode moments yet so I'm hanging on in there.

I have thought about using PreSeed but not sure? Has anyone has any use of it? Loads of people have said they've got a BFP with it but could it be coincidence?

Archie's I don't seem to get much either especially not this egg white stuff people go on about, I love pineapple so will have to give that a go

Hi Emhw:)
I take evening primrose for CM but I've read you need to stop taking it after ovulation if you ttc?
Hippy if your saw the pic of my house I drew you'd know why I won't be drawing a pic of my baby. It was an ugly picture but the windows & doors were all in the right places which is odd seeing as my house has an off centre door, plus I drew a hill behind it, which I have and there was a badly drawn horse on the pic, my house is on a bridal path. I even drew a palm tree, and I'm not a fan of those type of plants so don't know why but I have two palms on my drive. So if your a better artist than me you should totally go for it.
I've been feeling super positive this cycle, well more happy really, I just can't stop laughing at things that aren't even funny, it's actually a bit annoying as it's really quite tiring and starts to hurt after awhile, poor me hahahahahahaha!
I've also been super hungry, usually I can skip meals no problem but now I'm like eating every two minutes which is not great as I always have to watch my weight, I'm not blessed with the naturally skinny gene

(I hope that link worked) EMHW this is quite interesting about pineapple, but I think you have to eat some of the core? I'm going to give it a go this month

hippy using the clearblue ones, and im on a 30 day cycle..... this is my 5th month trying but first properly using OPKs-did buy the cheap ones at the start but i didnt use them correctly! My bad!

Whats all this about pineapple?! Love me a bit of the pineapple! ha!

Hippychic Sorry, it's Evening Primrose Oil. That, along with grapefruit juice is meant to help your body produce more CM (which I don't seem to get a huge amount of)

Thanks! Good luck to those in their 2ww!!

I'm a chronic POASer which has seen me do 2 ovulation tests already today.....

I'm not convinced I'm ovulating and bled very very lightly for 8 days last month so a bit confused as to what went on there so tracking this for the last 10 days now cd18..... away in Suffolk the weekend Aunt Flo is due so definitely won't test until I'm back-2 weeks today. What will be will be! In the meantime there is 👉👌🍺

AF is due tomorrow for me, and although I was cramping all day yesterday, it seems to have stopped today? I'm getting all my other usual AF symptoms though, so I'm just going to ride this one out look forward to trying again next month. If AF doesn't arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed!) then I will POAS on Wednesday, but like I said, I'm not expecting that to happen at the mo.

I've ordered some EPO, pineapple and grapefruit juice to be delivered with my online shop tonight as I've heard good things with them helping with ttc.

And got my fingers crossed for you Charley (and eveyone else that is still inthe 2ww) that you get your BFP this month

I'll admit I just walked down the aisle at Asda, sudden urge to poas and was determined to get some FRERs... thankfully there were none! I really want to hold off but I have a sudden feeling AF is imminent.....

Hi all!

Can I join?! Ttc #1 age 33 cycle #5 Your thread hippy is making me feel happy!

Love the stone roses myself! That baby grow is awesome! I did some searching for a football one for my oh as an idea for when the big reveal day comes-not if but when!

Thanks for being just the tonic!

Love Aje approach on relishing those times we will see fade fast when we get our lovely wee bundles!

Happy Monday indeed!
