TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@gigi318 Haha the process definatly drove me crazy so would definitely drive you crazy but it was so worth it in the end ❤️. It's so satisfying!
Haha really? I don't think a lot of people are to be fair your just waking up! Unfortunately not, we just had a cuddle and went to sleep. Slightly gutted but at least I've covered myself on peak day. I googled people who got BFP from dtd once or dtd the day before ovulation and there are some success stories so that made me feel slightly better.
It's great that it's shorter this month, i defo need to remember to take my folic acid though as I have naturally lower levels.
I'm ok today, I don't feel too positive but I'm trying to change that mindset. How are you? How you feeling?

@claire707 Don't worry you might be ovulating a little later then last month. It can vary month to month 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@makeafamily19 Eeeeek helloooo ovulation!! We've got similar cycles this month!

@Raizelrea Yaaay welcome back! Sounds like you've got alot going on at the moment, I hope OH grandad is ok? How is oh? Your right hopefully opks will distract you a little bit. It's ways nice seeing the smiley face. You never know you might dtd and this be your month! It would be amazing to get a positive after such a testing month ❤️

@Katie1109 we're so quick to stress ourselves out over it, I'm so bad with doing that so I really hope that's helped you feel better 😊 I have also read that red Raspberry leaf tea (or capsules) can help your lining if taken during the first half of your cycle. But not after you OV can trigger AF. So much easier said then done, but try not to worry, your body is just playing ttc tricks on you!! Happens to us all 😅 x x

Hey girls, happy Friday 💜

Just wanted to update you @Katie1109 - doctors are not concerned about my light periods, it's only beeen the last few which have got lighter. She was really lovely and said as long as I'm regular, and having some type of bleeding she can't see any problems (I beg to differ but it has reassured me) 😂 she said sometimes we get so consumed on ttc that it can affect our cycles, even just subconsciously. I think that's so true!! The last few months I've been more obsessed so would make sense.

I've decided for me, that I'm going to take a break ttc for the rest of the year. DP and I are going to enjoy these few months being relaxed, I'm going to go back on my pill as I was also advised sometimes the surge of hormones when you do come off the pill can make you most fertile in the month or two after the pill, and would also maybe make sense as dp and I were very chilled in the earlier months, didn't know a thing or two about the dramas of TTC hahaha!! So I'm hoping I'll have a sudden surge when I come back off around Jan / Feb. I'll be popping on the thread every now and again and I really hope not to see any of yous on here after Christmas 🥰 xx

Morning ladies. My stomach is has been gurgling like crazy for the past 3 or 4 days. Still getting the odd crampy feeling. Shooting pains in one boob yesterday. Holding off testing again until Saturday. If I do not get a BFP within the next week I need to go to the doc as something is really not right then 😂

@Gigi318 I feel your pain. A) with the waiting and symptoms like CM etc and B) waking up at ungodly hours 😭😭😭

Also sneezing A LOT. That's just a random thing though I think lol

Hi ladies! I'm knackered, got back Wednesday around midnight (suppose technically it was Thursday already), went to work where we had an all staff meeting that heavily hinted at redundancies in the future, then went to the hospice to see OH's grandad who has deteriorated while we've been away. I just want to sleep for several days!

I did start doing CB OPKs yesterday morning again, figured it would be a good distraction at least. Not sure if we'll necessarily DTD around the "right" days but can't hurt to have some extra data about my cycles.

@Katie1109 Sorry your body is acting all weird, sending virtual hugs!

@claireb707 Wow what an exciting time for you, congratulations on the job and fingers crossed for this cycle working out, sounds like everything is falling into place!

@Hewie30 That's good to hear about your cycle, definitely sounds like it may have been the Pregnacare! Are you managing to stay relatively relaxed this cycle rather than tracking?

@Gigi318 You're almost there, TWW nearly over! When are you thinking of testing?

Got my first flashing smiley this morning! Never been so excited 😂 DTD last night and night before last so keeping covered.

All looking good @Gigi318 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I want to do more home renovations but we really want to move to a bigger house in the next couple of years. Tough as our area is quite pricey and nothing in the mid range so to speak.
We our putting wood flooring in our living room the first week of November though so excited about that 🤣
Bathroom looks great @claireb707

Another flasher this morning, temp still all over the place (but I did take it earlier than normal after waking at 3 to go to the loo and not being able to get back to sleep - hadn't realised it was 3 when I took it).
So I've either missed my peak or I've ovulated later than last month

Morning ladies, how are we all?

Shock... I woke up like 👀 at 4am. Again!!! But actually managed to drift back off at 5ish so I feel like a new woman!

@Hewie30 that's amazing. I love home stuff. I can't wait to buy so we can renovate. Well, actually I can in a way, because the process would drive me crazy. I'm so inpatient and hate research!
Oh shame, that's sort of like me and OH but the other way around. Did you DTD when he was home? But definitely my love, it only takes once 🙌🏻
It's so exciting. Whether it's the Pregnacare or being more relaxed, it worked. So so cool!!! How are you today?

@claireb707 yayy that's excellent news. I have such a good feeling about you this month Claire! Definitely timing it all perfectly. Woohoo!

@Katie1109 how sre you today babe?? Xx

Also ladies, no CM overnight. So now we wait to see what's going on 👀🤞🏻🙌🏻

Ovulation pain again - don't think I can remember ever having it before

@claire707 That looks lovely 😍😍. Yesssss get dtd hun 🤞🤞🤞

@gigi318 I know right!! I've been a right pain in the ass 🤣. I do love our bathroom and en suite though the tiles are lovely there.
OH hates dtd in the morning so that's definitely out the question 🤣. Hopefully he comes up and is in the mood as you say, that would be perfect but if not I'm just going to have to hope the once was enough 🤷. I knooow how mad is that!!! Love that it's been sooner this month. Last month I still had another week to go until I had my positive!

@claireb707 it's gorgeous! Eeek that's amazing. Keep up the DTD. You're definitely covering this month 👏🏻🥂

@Hewie30 why are some tradesman unreliable. I feel sorry for who works on my future house as I'm definitely a nightmare client 🙊
That's true. But then the egg lasts 24 hours so it couldn't hurt for the morning, just in case. Hopefully he comes home tonight and fancies it then problem solved!
It would be amazing 💖 eeeek OMG just realised that tomorrow you will be 1DPO. Yesssss! Hasn't felt too long at all! This is so exciting!!!

Got another flashing smiley tonight, so looks like ovulation is tomorrow 🤞

I bloody well hope so otherwise we're going to have bruised knees and elbows and it will piss us off.
This is what it will be like (different colour units) but the toilet is that width

@claireb707 It looks lovely! Love your tiles! 😍. We wanted something like that in our house but they put the wrong tiles in 🤣. Oh nooo can they swap it?

@gigi318 Yeah such a shame hun, I know I'm covered but I'm just gutted as I wanted to be covered incase any of the swimmers from last night didn't make it to my egg. I think I definitely ovulated today as I got such intense pains in my left overy throughout half the day. I hinted to OH when he got home and he mentioned he wouldn't have time so I don't want to make a move again when he gets home, I'll leave the ball in his court..
Yessss we definitely are the 3 musketeers! ❤️❤️. Hopefully I can do or even close to you guys

@claireb707 oh babe it's looking fab. Look at that rainfall shower head! How exciting! And silly man, he will have to change it tomorrow then!
Excellent news, I love meetings like that. It feels like it's meant to be 🥂

@Hewie30 ahhhh man. Well I hope you're still up when he is home then chick 🙌🏻 and remember, it only takes one time. Think back to your teenage self 🤣🙊 and do it in the morning as if that egg has popped right now, then a fast swimmer could still get to it in time!
Eeeeek. I hope so. I've been back and forth all day. When I wake up in the morning and it's all gone back to milky and no other colour, I'll be happy! I do hope it is babe 💖 and I want it to be your month too. We're the three musketeers, us and @Katie1109, so you need that BFP too 🥂

Interview went well, was the most relaxed one I've ever had, laughing and joking all the way through. He now needs to speak to my manager to sort out my notice period etc.

@Gigi318 I've got a distraction - new bathroom porn? 😂
Only problem is he's put the toilet in the wrong place 😩😩🤬🤬
It's currently sink cupboard toilet, supposed to be sink toilet cupboard

@gigi318 @Katie1109 I 100% feel that it's both of your months ❤️. I can see something faint on that test too Katie!

@gigi318 Unfortunately I don't think so, I was going to try before he went football but he left earlier to go to the pub and he won't be back until 10.30pm so I don't think this month's my month with just the one time.
Creamy is good babe! ❤️😍, Honestly all the symptoms sound spot on!!!

@Katie1109 oh babe that's funny - what a treat we will be when PG hey. Hope he is expecting that 🙊 hehehe well it should be a round squishy thing that doesn't feel like the rest of the V!!! It's all a bit confusing. Mine is really high so you may have to dig in to find it 😂🙈

@Katie1109 I can see it too. Fingers and toes crossed for you love x
