Another big fan of Italy here! The most at home I've ever felt on holiday! Just been
To Tuscany though. That's no bad thing I think! Echo the family friendly thing as well

Itsjustaphase84 · 21/04/2017 16:45

Hippy, feeling OK. Slightly tired and mild nausea but main one is sore boobs. I don't think my symptoms have really geared up yet. Good luck for FW!!! Happy pumping. Fx for you.

Ooh I absolutely love Italy. The food and drink omg!!!

@Flashinthepan af will soon sod off!!

MissMagpie · 21/04/2017 16:24

We went on a weekend break to Palermo - it is lovely. It's hard to go wrong in Italy though - you girls need to get yourselves there. It is also very family friendly - they don't mind babies or children in bars and restaurants - so a place to go with our bambinos.

So sorry for AF arriving Flash - give yourself some tlc and have a good time doing something you love this weekend.

Feeling like bella -
#ashamedfornothavingbeentoitaly

It sounds beautiful... I agree patience it's good to have things to look forward to that aren't ttc related ... it is very mind consuming this ttc lark ... I never envisaged getting so wrapped up in it when I started ... I just thought yeah ... have sex in fw ... hey presto ... but here I am 8 months later (missed two cycles) .., thinking hey ?!!!
Xxx

Hope you feel better soon amanda!

What utter rubbish that af got you flash, it did sound so hopeful with the bleeding that stopped. It's so hard when your body throw you all these symptoms and confuse you like that. Hope you have a nice weekend ahead. Re Sicily I have been there once before. It is heartbreakingly beautiful I find, nice little cities with narrow streets and amazing restaurants, plus a lot of nice local wine. Which of course I will not be enjoying as will be upduffed by then for sureGrin. We traveled from west to east by car, and stopped in various small towns along the coast. Syracuse was amazing, and I also loved Palermo (albeit much more noisy and city-like). I also think Taormina is very nice, my mum spent a couple of weeks there during early spring, but haven't been there myself. I think it is so important to have something to look forward to when ttc that is not ttc related!

Hippychic79 · 21/04/2017 10:04

Awwww flash how annoying, however I still have my hopes up for you. I do like to look at the 'Is it a line' pics on here and it often astounds me at how faint some of the lines are even at reasonable dpo's.

patient welcome back Hun, we've missed you!!! I completely understand the taking a step back thing though ... I love you ladies to bits but the thread is obviously and understandably so ttc focused ... it can and does sometimes stress you out which isn't the point of it but it does happen... I'm not a fan when it gets to 'who's next to test' and I know it's me .... makes me real nervous lol
Thank you for your kind vibes Hun I'm on LUCKY 🍀 cycle number 6 whoop whoop cxxxxxx

Flashinthepan · 21/04/2017 09:43

Oooo Not. We're thinking of going to Sicily! Have you been before? Where would you recommend?

notparticularlypatient · 21/04/2017 09:38

Morning all! And sorry for my long time absence. Had to step back a bit to make sure that ttc became a bit less overwhelming. My cycles are sooo long, so I really have to wait a long time for Peggy. She arrived cd 25 this cycle, and there had been a lot of poas during those prior weeks... anyway, I have been reading along most of the time, and am thrilled for our latest bfps!

Hippy, lovely to hear that Peggy is behaving and due to make her appearance when dp is in the mood. I join Bella in her optimistic vibe on your behalf this month!

Bella very impressed by your sleeping abilities! It's probably a symptom though, it was for me those first weeks. Yayh for an early start of the weekend for you #welldeserved

Magpie welcome back! I also love love Italy. The food is amazing! We will spend our summer holiday in Sicily, so looking forward to both d vitamins and yummy pizzaSmile

Cakes, that hair is adorable! Definitely hair envy from a very straight haired meSmile

Flash still keeping fingers firmly crossed for you! At least your lp is working properly. I am
also trying b vits this cycle, and really hope they work!

And the positives of today is

  1. We had a very smooth morning with the toddler behaving like a saint (this is very very rare)
  2. I am 4 dpo and actually enjoy this first part of the tww. Too early to symptom spot and no poas.
  3. Friday!!
Flashinthepan · 21/04/2017 09:35

POAS this morning and BFN. FRER too. 14 dpo I think, so think it would show by now. CD30, longest cycle ever, it must be the B vitamins.

My 3 things are:

  1. Homemade pizza for dinner!
  2. Had a really good night's sleep and woke up 1 min before my alarm.
  3. Can't think of another one, think my bfn has reduced my PMA! I'll come up with 4 tomorrow.

Morning you lovely ladies 😊

Cakes Great news that your DH has agreed to start taking supplements, I give my DP his every morning – a men’s multivit and zinc to help with his doreens 😊 Loving the curls, your DD looks adorable. Loving your plans for today #getonitwhilstyoucan

Sarahb I really hope this is your cycle, tummy ache could be anything, as soon as I get through the weekend I will cross everything for you.

Phase How you feeling?

Bella thank you for your kind words… you’re right I have got this!

Olicat sorry to read you got BFN, hoping your BFP is just being elusive and it turns positive next time you test.

Moo Your risotto sounds delicious… wow 7 weeks …. I’d like to say the time has flown but I feel like time is on go slow since ttc 😊

Right my 3 things for today –

  1. My PMA has skyrocketed in the last few days
  2. Got my second flashing smiley this morning which is great because DP wants to dtd tomorrow night, so a static smiley tomorrow would be perfect timing
  3. My DP is off Saturday night and Sunday so aiming to get x2 pumpage sessions in #thiswouldbeamazeballs

This mornings 3 things

  1. A sausage and mushroom cob with brown sauce is on its way to my gob!
  2. I'm seeing my bestie tonight and I have a large bottle of sipsmith gin in my bag for us to enjoy #clinkingonthewaytowork
  3. I'm staying the night at my friends which means lie in tomorrow! Boom!!
CakesALot · 21/04/2017 08:40

@Moo31 rlt is arriving today! I'm on it!!

@olicat I had the exact same curls as a child and always wanted straight hair! They've grown out now and I just get a kinky wave instead. I adore her hair but she hates having anything done to it so I spend a lot of time chasing her around the house with a brush!! She does let me clip it out of her face though. She is also the bed head queen #cuteness

Yay to Friday! Someone just took an order for breaky cobs too!! Winning!!!

Moo31 · 21/04/2017 08:39

My 3 things

  1. It's friiiiidaaaay!
  2. I have a lovely day with my mum planned tomorrow - getting our feet done and then lunch and shopping
  3. It's almost pay day!
Moo31 · 21/04/2017 08:34

@Sarah - butternut squash risotto. I halve the squash and score it diagonally. Roast. Make the risotto. Scoop the chunks out of the squash, stir them in. Serve in the half squash (so you can scoop it all out while eating!) I rarely make it as it takes so long but it's so yummy.

Also I tested at 11 dpo. It seems to be the ballpark!

@phase definitely something to be said for the RLT - I think @dolly drank it on her positive cycle too?? Ladies get on the RLT!

@bella - I am still testing lol! Down to one a week now and only have a few left and once they are done (and I've had my 12 wk scan) then I'll relax a bit. 7 weeks today since me and @dolly got our bfps!

olicat · 21/04/2017 08:22

Morning, 11dpo and poas earlier, BFN. I told myself to wait but it didn't happen! I have to say I don't really feel any different - I guess I'll just wait til af is due I will obviously test on Sunday

My 3 things:

  1. it's FRIDAY
  2. still blissed out from the loveliest wedding ever for my very dear friend last weekend
  3. I have a wonderful DP who I'm very grateful for every day 😍

cakes I have major hair envy!! This was what I dreamed of as a child, except after I'd begged my mum to put my hair in rollers it came out poker straight 😢

BellaMoon · 21/04/2017 06:07

bit better now that cd1 is out the way, i say tiny as i know the mood doesn't lift at the click of the fingers but a small step in the positive direction leads to another etc. yes totally interested to hear what your side dream job is, please share #noseyfucker!

@sarahboro1 i am the bloody last person to ask about when to POAS cos i do it every day haha. although this cycle i went for 10dpo evening (so i had an excuse to ignore the BFN cos it wasn't FMU - some warped psychology right there) but by 11dpo with FMU i was upduffed! all other cycles i POAS from about 4-6dpo cos apparently i now like pissing on things! i'm still doing it, actually just did an IC this morn #isthiswatersports #fourteenthPOAS #pictureattached

@ArchiesMamaBird ohhh good luck now that FW is on the horizon #megapumpage what's your approach? x

@Hippychic79 such an exciting time for you too now that you're cd14 i hope wee peggy has felt your #PMAvibe and i'm sure she's decided she's ready to welcome a doreen into her life! #itshippyscycle #yougotthis
