TTC first baby! Continued...

@Delilah7 I was on fire.... but DH couldn't hack it and literally collapsed and fell asleep after a few rounds last night 😂😂😂 the power of the noonie 😏😂

@CrystalBlaze I have no idea at all 😂😂 Flo is saying I ovulate tomorrow but we've been DTD as early as we could this month just to be sure.

I need to ask a question about CM which may be TMI but I need to know 😂 so since I came off the implant last year, I don't really get CM anymore - I used to but I haven't since then. Last night DH said my (I'm really sorry for this) cum was like egg white... is this CM? Or is this just because I was turned on?

@saze4 see this hunny xxx

@Delilah7 @CrystalBlaze thank you! According to the app i'm 4dpo but i cant remember having any cm maybe ewcm a few days ago but other than that not much which is making me think have i even ovulated? Cm now i'd describe it as thick/sticky not creamy (sorry tmi)My app says i ovulated on saturday, dtd wed,fri,sat and sunday more than once each day! I really hope this happens for me this month

@CrystalBlaze @saze4 I'd agree. Keep an eye on your cervical mucus. That helped me too! and I logged that in flo x

@ttcat32 yeeeeehaaaaaaaw cowgirls 😍😂

Hi @saze - I do use it and find it helpful but I'd say it's also worth monitoring your CM (watch out for EWCM around fertile days) and temping, although I don't temp at the moment. There are plenty of ladies more knowledgeable than me!

@saze4 i got pregnant last month via flo app alone so it does work. Just have to input periods regularly x good luck!

Hey sorry to butt in does anyone use the flo app and know if it's accurate? Ttc and only going with the app for when i ovulate?

Morning ladies!

Good luck to everyone starting the tww!

Still no confirmation of ov although lines are getting darker on OPK so I'll probably be a week behind. In the meantime have taken @Delilah7 's advice.... will now refer to my DH as seabiscuit! 🐴😂😂😂

Have a great day everyone! X

@purplestar9 you too lovely!! speak soon ladies. been at work an hour already and done nothing 😂😂

@Delilah7 @FlapJackered amazing! So good to have you both at the same stage! We can (try) to keep each other sane over the next 2 weeks!

@CrystalBlaze it might be worth a go, you're right! I'll see what happens! All good at the appointment thank you :) boob is practically back to normal now! (In case you didn't know, I had a lump).

Off to work now, will catch up with you all at lunch time! Have a great day everyone! 😁

@FlapJackered I don't temp - I keep on meaning to start and then not doing it. I might buy natural cycles for next cycle.
@Chivari it's the WORST isn't it 😭 I'll have to give your tips a go. I went to see a derm last week who prescribed me with a lotion - no affects yet. I've started getting them on my body too which is awful for my self confidence when I'm meant to be having sex all the time

@FlapJackered you'll get fed up of my ' I think I'm feeling ' posts 😂😂😂

@Flapjackered I am so jealous of your Italian food fest. It's the best.

Morning ladies! Hope everyone is good.

Welcome @shelley10! Sounds like you've given finding your FW a good go!

@cupcakesandglitter do you know when you ovulated?

@purplestar9 you could always give it a go tonight just for luck Hope all was ok with your hospital appt.

Thanks for all the positive vibes guys. My boobs are starting to feel a bit sore but that could just be AF approaching. Managed to hold off testing this morning. Willpower...

@purplestar9 I'm on the same as you darling 1DPO so we can 2WW together 😍

@Delilah7 unfortunately it didn't happen last night, we were both knackered from a long emotional day. So I hope enough has been done this cycle already! And now I'm gonna go with 1DPO! TWW I'm gonna crush you! 😂

@FlapJackered Thanks! It's all better now, was a little sore yesterday but feels back to normal this morning, just got a pin prick where the needle went in (it's my war wound!).

@Crossfitgirl haha 😂 I didn't feel like I could push it too much last night, he was very worried about my hospital appointment and had a worrying/stressful day! I also bought my thermometer off amazon, I have been told that the temp will fluctuate if you do it a few times in a row. I would suggest taking your temp when you first wake so when your DH goes, it says to take it before doing anything else (even before sitting up or going to the loo). And you need to put it under your tongue, towards the back where the tongue meets the bottom of your mouth.

@shelly10 hello and welcome to the madness! 😀

@CrystalBlaze I am feeling a positive so keep the faith 😍

@FlapJackered the seduction tool is your noonie so don't worry about the tummy 😂😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter you're on FIRE!!!! 😈

@shelly10 welcome Hun, thank you so much 😍 fingers crossed for you too.

@daisiesandponies thank you - really means a lot 😍 joins us for the annoying 2WW.

Hi @daisiesandpeonies I feel your pain with hormonal acne. I have suffered with it! The best thing that worked for me is taking Starflower Oil and Vitamin E daily. It really helped with the big breakouts and painful deep spots xx

Gosh so much to read hello everyone new! @Chivari and @Bettyhop congratulations great to see some BFPs
For the newcomers:
I am aged 30, married, TTC cycle 4, but stopped taking my birth control a couple of months beforehand. I get super long cycles and am loathing life off birth control, acne and mood swings 😭
@FlapJackered how is Italy? The gelato and pasta comment made me lol - perhaps lots of prosecco is key!😂 Italian name such a good idea. I love Giovanna and Lucia for girls.
@Delilah7 glad you're still doing well love, really admire how strong you've been 💪 Your OH sounds so supportive getting back on board, like others have already said men can bottle up sometimes so keep talking it over ❤️ Best of luck 🤞🏼❤️🤞🏼
I am in the TWW now I think but don't really have a clue as otcs were all negative. Still trying to DTD at least every other day

Hi @shelly10 what day are you on? Xx

I've got undressed and me and DH both looked at my boobs - they're still really sore but the veins on them are HUGE, and I also have more veins across my chest too. I'm sure my nipples look more deep in colour too... I'm only CD15 though so I doubt it means anything. So hard to not symptom spot, I'm already going crazy 😩 xx

Hi ladies,

I've found and read the thread over the last couple of days and it's made me smile!! Congrats to all the BFP's - it's certainly looking like a lucky thread to me! @Delilah7 really hope you get a BFP really really soon 😘.

So my info:
Age 31
TTC #1
Cycle 1(ish, i think)

Been on my honeymoon and DTD as much as possible! Been logging all my daily info and symptoms on Ovia for the first time (as this is still technically cycle 1 for me) and the fertile days just seem to follow me and change each day, so just hoping one of them was accurate and we DTD on my most fertile days. Had some symptoms that I thought might be ovulation whilst I was away, very light spotting for a couple of days, back ache, headache and feeling sick in the morning for a couple of days, any of that sound familiar? Anyone else find this when they first started TTC and using apps? Still waiting for my first AF after coming off the implant at the end of June so just a little in the dark still at the moment. Will take my first pregnancy test in a couple of weeks time I think just to see!

Xxx

I've had so much fun already 😂 I've taken a break to cook dinner (stupidly late but I'm hungry again now) I'm ready for the next round after dinner, DH is scared 😂

@CrystalBlaze I'm still feeling big, fat and positive on your behalf.
