TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@claireb707 maybe it's IB? Is it heavy?? Maybe you ovulated later than you thought??

@claireb707 that's good. You could still be PG. How is the spotting?? Hope it stays away!! Oh no, just saw you think it's AF, really hope it's not!

@ACMJ Could be ovulation. A friend of mine had a 90 day cycle, and it has gradually got to a 40-50 day cycle now after a few months. So you never know. Keep an eye on that CM and keep DTD just to be sure 🤞🏻

@Raizelrea that sounds amazing and I totally agree about the happiness in old age thing. I've always thought my golden years will be my favourite. Financially secure, less worries, more free time. What's not to love? Although I doubt I'll ever have free time, I always find a way to be busy! Eeek, busy week? But that's a good distraction. I am well, just in the bath 🤣and quite tired from a busy day!
OMG OMG OMG I hope it is babe. I really do 🤞🏻💫

@myttcjourney I hope so chick, fingers crossed for you. I was so nauseous last month, so will see how I am this month. I do still think that maybe the egg fertilised but didn't manage to implant properly. But who knows!!

@Raizelrea 😮😮😮🤞🤞🤞 a line is a line mate!!!

I'm not sure if this is period or not. I've never had brown (sorry tmi) blood on day 1 before. It's normally rednon day 1 and brown on day 4??

Oh my god. I think I'm losing the plot. I took a FRER just now because I was bored and I see a super faint line. Even OH sees it but he says he thinks it needs to be a "linier line" to mean something.

@Gigi318 definitely agree! Not testing that early ever again! Was a ridiculous idea 🤣

@claireb707 sorry AF seems to have showed.

I am not sure if I am imagining it but I woke up feeling really sick. And an hour ago had the same wave of nausea, I don’t know if it’s a sign or I’m being ridiculous 🤣

Thanks @Raizelrea, I've got an underactive thyroid so am meant to avoid soy if I can. I do love edamame beans though 😂😂

Looks like the spotting has turned into period though so think I'm out this month 😢 though will see if it stops

@Gigi318 Thank you! My week will actually be the opposite of chilled but the distraction may be good haha!

The TEDx talk had a really wide scope actually, it was a full day event so loads of different speakers. The two that resonated the most with me were about what we can learn from old people to be happier sooner (apparently the typical happiness curve in live is U shaped so you're at your happiest as a child and then when you're old and stop giving a damn about what people think!), and one about trying to avoid a constant urge to be in the loop about everything at work which drives us to burnout. But the majority of the talks were interesting!

How is your day going?

@claireb707 I came across some this study earlier today that made me think of you, apparently increasing soy protein in your diet can help with delaying ovulation to give your eggs more time to mature. May be worth a shot, unless you really hate soy?

@ACMJ Welcome, hope you have a smooth and short TTC journey!

@Gigi318 yeah first day on withdrawal bleed was cd 1 and was the 6/9, feels like forever ago now! My app says that Ovulation was around day cd 14 so 19/9 and I had lots of twinges around that week but couldn’t determine wether it was ovulation or just pull withdrawal symptoms! CM is being really strange and has only just started to increase the last day or two so I don’t know wether I am ovulating really late or something else

@Gigi318 I know, got positive opk on day 10, that's why I'm a bit confused now

@ACMJ that's a good idea. Did you count the first day of the withdrawal breed as CD1? Do you know when O was? Hopefully you've caught. But good to just hold and out see what's going on with the cycle.

@claireb707 ohhh goodness, hopefully you get an answer soon. That was early O - did you track it?

@Gigi318 I'm apparently 7 days late, cd31, 21dpo

@Gigi318 I am currently cycle 1 and I am on day 31! I am unsure of my period lengths due to just coming off the pill last month to conceive but I am sure they are 27 days which makes me late. I had a withdrawal bleed but nothing since! Tests say negative so just holding out as not too sure what is going on haha! X

Morning Ladies, how are we all?

@Makeafamily19 I hope you had a lovely evening, it sounded amazing! Yay to a yummy posh Sunday lunch - enjoy! I'm having afternoon tea today 🥰 yes lots of DTD hurrah! No twinges today but still think O will be Monday. Maybe?! Not too sure. Flo says O will be Tuesday so I will count Wednesday as 1DPO just to be sure!

@Raizelrea oh no! Chick I hope not. Argh! But if it's AF, jjst be kind to yourself and have a chilled week. Oh amazing, I love a good TEDX talk - watch them all on YouTube (we seem very similar hehe) what was it on? I hope you have a nice chilled day babe!!

@myttcjourney oh chick, don't you worry. I think we all do it to be honest! Just try to distract yourself if you can? I was like this last month and refuse to do it this time. I shall be distracting myself in the TWW, that's for sure. I think I will have to start a new TV series or a range of great books 🙊👌🏻

@claireb707 oh no, chick! How are you feeling? How many days late are you??

@abbiejones5 welcome chick! What cycle are you? Where are you in it? X

@Raizelrea

AF is due 11/12th of this month! Not too much longer to wait now! The two weeks waiting is killer

I am convinced I am not as the FRER was negative even though it was a week before I am due 🙈

Not sure, think it has but haven't long got up 😂
Did a frer this morning, negative again 😢

@claireb707 Welcome back, sorry the weather that's greeting you is so crap! I've had all these grand plans of getting loads of cleaning and e-larning done today but I just want to crawl under a blanket with this rain and grey skies! Has your spotting subsided?

@myttcjourney Thank you! Definitely feeling quite AF-like though so expecting her to make an appearance shortly. When os your AF due?

Hiya, can I join as well? x

@claireb707 @raizelrea as long as you haven’t got AF it could still be good news! Crossing my fingers for you both

@Makeafamily19 @Gigi318 I know! I shouldn’t spend to much Time on google, all these people saying how they got their BFPs really early 😩
I won’t test again until AF is due. I have woken up feeling really queasy today, feel like I could be sick. I think I’m turning myself crazy and tricking myself into having all these symptoms

Well ladies, I started spotting today so I know AF will be here in a day or two. I did have a really good day at the TED x talk though. Now chilling by the fireplace with a glass of wine. How's everybody's weekend going?

Hi all, hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I'm having a nice bath and then DH is giving me a massage and we are gonna relax with a movie and popcorn! 😄
Going out for a posh roast tomorrow too!

I've not been symptom spotting at all and been quite relaxed so far in TWW, currently 8DPO. Been nice to just not think about it to be honest.

Hope you are getting busy DTD @Gigi318 any EWs yet??

Welcome back @claireb707 a lot of people can get spotting then BFP so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@myttcjourney Don't worry you are way too early! This is why I'm not testing haha. Though @Gigi318 I'm the same as you I get nervous as I don't want to see a BFN which is why I think I'll end up holding out quite late.

@flossy12 have a lovely holiday!

@claireb707 glad to have you back in the UK babe, but shame you didn't bring the weather with you. It's gross here, isn't it! Hopefully the spotting doesn't turn into AF 🤞🏻

@myttcjourney oh no! Eeeek. This is why I'm not a fan of testing early. It's okay, some don't get a BFP until like a week or more after AF due! So stay positive because it's still really early!

@flossy12 so glad babe! Soak up that sun and relax!! Xx

@Gigi318 thank you!! He's having an amazing time 💞 we all are it's lovely ☺️😊 thank you! Yeah going to go with the sweeter stuff for abit and see how I do x

I stupidly did a FRER test today after reading online about all these people that got positives 9DPO! Not even first pee of the day, it was a BFN

I am not due til 11/12 so a week from now! I’m really annoyed with myself that I tested 😡

Just landed at Gatwick - so depressing 😂😂
Want my nice weather back!

Very slight pink/ brown spotting this morning but still no period....

@flossy12 morning babe! So glad you're having a wonderful time! Sorry to hear eating is difficult but definitely just go with what you fancy. Hope DSS is having a lovely time too!
