July bus - jump aboard!

@withcheeseplease yeah I've been trying to exercise a bit more. Went for a run yesterday to try and clear my head....if I wasnt thinking about how much my body was hurting when running I was thinking about symptoms! 🙄🙄🙄 Wish I could turn my brain off!

@Mrsjones17 thank you that's really helpful!! Very clear actually when you look at them all together. I've been keeping them and writing on my cycle day and whether it was am pm ☺️

Oh yeah I read 'eat, pray, love'- you could give that a go. It's quite good, but a bit hard to keep interested when she's waffling on and on about meditation 😂. I'm thinking of going back to the gym for the 2ww- I haven't been for a while, all the sex-ercise makes me too tired for exercise!

@mamasbooksbabynumber2 just text a friend who's into similar sort of things and she suggested eat pray love or chasing harry Winston.

Do you like Paige Toons books? I've read quite a few and they are easy to read. Haven't read The One We fell in love with. I think it's called. Could always create a separate thread and call it Tww July bus book distraction thread ?

@mamasbooksbabynumber2 I'm happy to go with anything really. I read a fair amount but lots of different stuff. Chick lit would be good. Have you got any suggestions? I could have a look online for any recommendations x

Anything you want to read particularly? Can be light hearted? We could probably squeeze in 2 books - 1 a week - and post about them on the Sunday evening to give us something else to think about/focus on.

What about a "chick-lit" book?

Mamabooksbabynumber2 I like that idea!!!

mrsjones I feel your pain. This is cycle 5 and I am having a worry that as we didn't dtd on cd 15 and 16 and ov of 17 or 18 we missed our chance

Maybe we should all have a 2ww book group on here to take our mind off things?

Ok already googling symptoms and I. Only 4dpo. It's ridiculous, I know it's ridiculous and yet I can't stop doing it. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a fall convincing myself that every little thing is a sign it's so stupid. We dtd as much as humanly possible this month so really can't have done anymore and just need to let it go and move on to see what happens. I am so impatient in everything I do. I can't help but think is me worrying in the tww affecting things but not I'm worrying about worrying!! I really am a total fruit loop!😕

Smiley ovulation face this morning, been at it like rabbits the last couple of days and plan to carry on as such for the next few!

Let the tww commence!

Here's hoping we all get our bfp's :)

Hello :) thought I'd jump on this bus as I'm doing my tww now. I'm 27 and trying for number two I already have a 2 and a half year old. I'm 2 days dpo so fingers crossed.

juney, mother withcheese I do that too and this cycle it says 18th march. I think ovulate yesterday (cd18) as I had cramps and sore boobs but then I have the same today so who knows. But for the sake of tracking I'm going to say today I am 1dpo. Let the symptom spotting and obsessing continue commence!

That would be glorious.

I say every month I'm going to relax and not think about it but then by 6dpo I'm googling symptoms. Ahh!!!

Maybe we should just DTD all month and pretend we don't know when ovulation in and then when our period doesn't show up we will get a happy surprise!

@juney I think we need to come up with something to help the time pass!! I hate the tww the most. I wish it was DTD then 24 hours later yay or nay 😂

Haha juney and withcheese I do that every cycle too...

Cd10 over here. Dh and I both decided today to give up alcohol completely and reduce caffeine to 1-2 cups a day. No idea if it will help but did some reading and thought it worth a shot (plus I've put on weight recently so no alocohol will help!)

withcheese haha I do that every cycle! 1-2dpo here not really sure...

@withcheeseplease haha! Optimistic! I like it!

3dpo and it's dragging!

I just did a due date calculator which gave me a date of mid March- probably getting a bit ahead of myself

Thanks @witbcheeseplease. Everything is crossed! Going to take it easy with this tww now.

Aww Mrsjones that's a hard thing to hear xx
juney aslong as its dipping im sure its just as good hehe.
impatient I'm using conceive plus and i did 2 cycles ago when i git a bfp. Ran out last cycle but i really feel thats what helped me concieve.. they are all pretty similar.

Nice little temp rise today..hope it stays up! 1dpo 🤗

Ah that's great, and nice you're doing that together and training together too.

Erm no not consciously I guess it's a combo of things. Were trying to give it everything we've got this month so both not drinking if we can and then we are both training for a triathlon so trying to just generally be a bit more healthy. I've found it ok really as don't drink that much normally unless it's an event as such

Ah bless, gotta love them! My parents are a bit like that.

Are you trying not to drink at all while ttc? Is anyone else? I did that initially for the first few months, then got fed up and starting having a few glasses now and then.

Yep it's was a pretty grim moment! I can't be cross with him for saying it he's old and they don't think before they say things bless him but still! Told my DH...had a little weep and then because I'm trying not to drink jumped back into DTD with a vengeance haha! I don't want to tell them that we are trying cos I don't want them worrying that is hasn't happened yet. They sometimes are also full of bit very helpful advice....'you work too hard' 'you shouldn't be going on so many holidays (2!)' 'you shouldn't be at home cooking DH tea' 🙄 so on and so forth! Different generations eh?!
