Good luck with the exam @ValidUser! xx

@Delilah7 let us know how you get on xx

Well CD1 and at least I can say my cycles are bang on time! Perimenopausal my arse! Hello mooncup my old friend....

MrsR16 · 12/09/2018 23:09

@KatBeCool haha if only! My DH just hasn't got a very high sex drive, so I have to encourage it!

KatBeCool · 12/09/2018 22:55

I don't let my DH decide if he's in the mood :) I proclaim DTD tonight and he has to succumb to demands. I mean if we don't do it, there won't be kids.

MrsR16 · 12/09/2018 22:00

Well, DH seems vaguely in the mood! Painting done for tonight and I think he's feeling good about himself 😊 teamwork makes the dream work! 🤞🤞🤞

BambiOnIce80 · 12/09/2018 21:35

Oooh @RanchoRelaxo, that sounds very promising indeed🤞🏻Happy DTD-ing tonight! 😉

Good luck with the exam in Sheff @ValidUser 🍀 I know it well, also used to work there - probably also outing myself! 😂

@Delilah7 family stress again lovely? Dare I ask how things are with you and your sister? 😬

MrsC87 · 12/09/2018 21:25

I find the "just relax about it all" so hard @catcupcakes 🤦‍♀️ I've spent all evening googling implantation bleeding when I know the only way I'll know is in a couple of days 🙄 I'm so impatient

poodlepip · 12/09/2018 21:25

@catcupcakes I'm exactly the same- a few days after the idea of a baby thermometer was beeping and 50 ov strips ordered on amazon.

@RanchoRelaxo great call on the dominos- I rewarded DH a large pizza after we finally DTD as his cold got better. Think I'm either day of ovulation or 1dpo but hey ho better late than never!

I thought he was quite chilled about TTC and wanted to take it slow but after we DTD I stood up and he was like "what are you doing don't let it come out!"

catcupcakes · 12/09/2018 21:22

@MrsC87 @sunshine1987 at least I'm not alone 😂 I'm also symptom spotting, need to just relax and see what happens I suppose... easier said than done x

catcupcakes · 12/09/2018 21:21

@ValidUser 😂😂

MrsC87 · 12/09/2018 20:19

I think it's AF on its way as cramps got worse @Delilah7 @BambiOnIce80
I'm with you on the obsessing @catcupcakes, I m fine when I'm in the fertile week as I feel I'm doing as much as poss to get pregnant but it's the tww it's a killer! I'm only on month 2 🤦‍♀️

ValidUser · 12/09/2018 20:07

@catcupcakes I read that as"my nan".

sunshine1987 · 12/09/2018 20:06

@cutcupcakes me and you both babe lol. We’re on cycle 4 and he doesn’t have a clue other than when I try and jump him that I’m peeing on sticks to find out when my egg is released, checking my CM and that I’ve got lube just incase. And that every month I believe I’m pregnant through crazy symptom spotting lol x

catcupcakes · 12/09/2018 19:44

@sunshine1987 thank god 😂 xx the problem is I've not even told my man how much I'm obsessing 🙈

sunshine1987 · 12/09/2018 19:40

@catcupcakes we were all the same 🙈

catcupcakes · 12/09/2018 19:36

How impatient am I? Me and my partner says let's come of pill and see what happens... first TWW and I'm climbing the walls to see the outcome, need to try and relax Smile xx

@MrsC87 sounds promising hun.... 😍

@BambiOnIce80 I'm never this impatient but I am now I'm not in control of something.... just stressing me out. Got family crap and arguements going to be happening soon and I'm ready to blow!!! Xx

@RanchoRelaxo have fun ;) hehe xx

@ValidUser Good luck darling you'll smash it xx

Good luck @ValidUser I'm sure you will do amazing! Do let us know how it goes 🤞🤞xx

ValidUser · 12/09/2018 18:53

Totally outing myself here, but heading to Sheffield for my (hopefully last) postgrad medical exam.

Great distraction from the TWW!

DH turns 30 on Saturday - I'll be 10 dpo and doing a FRER then!

RanchoRelaxo · 12/09/2018 18:21

Pizza was super tasty last night 😀 sorry i made everyone fancy it 😂
I need to fully catch up on the last page (this thread moves FAST) might be busy tonight tho 😉 I have just got positive opk and static smiley! (Was trying to upload the photo but still won't let me upload anything, phone just keeps freezing each time I try!) haha am very happy cause this means ovulation will be happening on cd18, the earliest yet! (Last few months have been cd20) fingers crossed this is gearing up to a longer luteal phase 😀

BambiOnIce80 · 12/09/2018 18:16

I think implantation can happen as late as 10dpo, so definitely sounding hopeful @MrsC87 🙂x

MrsC87 · 12/09/2018 18:12

I'm 11dpo @BambiOnIce80 x

BambiOnIce80 · 12/09/2018 18:09

OK @Delilah7, breathe 😤 You're getting over a nasty infection and a MC, so I know it's frustrating but be kind to your body and yourself 💖 No reason that you won't get pregnant quickly - they just need to keep a close eye on you to make sure you're recovering properly.x

@MrsC87, how many dpo are you? Light early bleeding sounds hopeful for ib🤞🍀

MrsC87 · 12/09/2018 17:58

Hi ladies, need to catch up on thread but also need your help?
So I'm due AF in 4-5 days according to two apps I'm using. Today I have had pink when I wipe when going to the toilet, which I've never had before. Cracking headache and slight cramps but not like normal af cramps. Done some googling, could this be implantation bleeding or am I just kidding myself?

So doctor rang. She thinks I need to have my blood test next week for the pancreas and blood cells. She said that it can take 3 months for me to stop irregular bleeding or whatever. She also said if anything comes up in my blood test I will probably have to have a scan.

FUCK SAAAAAAAAAAKE.

Welcome, newbies!

@Josieco58 I’m finding it daunting too. I keep getting random thoughts of ‘what if I can’t get pregnant?!’.... I’m only on cycle 2 and have no logical reason to think I won’t be able to get pregnant!
