TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@flossy12 Aww that is an adorable way to tell them, amazing! Have a fabulous time on your holiday!

@Gigi318 Managed to resist for now, I woke up really early and me and OH agreed to test together this month so I didn't test. Definitely not waiting longer than Saturday haha. Last cycle I started spotting around 11 DPO so we shall see... Ah that is unfortunate timing for him being away, but you're right you're only missing two days! Hopefully you ovulate on CD15 with the run up to it covered 😊

@Gigi318 omg totally!! 😍😍😆 was going to get our pup a Big sister top too but OH said that DSSs was enough 😂👏🏼 aww going to miss you girls too! 💞

Morning ladies, how are you all?

@Raizelrea hehehe don't worry, I have! I'm CD10 now so getting excited!!! Need to make the most of the time now before OH is away next week (away CD14-17 argh, but we will still catch 14&17 so technically only missing 15&16!).
Hehehehe yes 11DPO is super early. I'd say hold off until at least 12DPO is you really HAVE to test early 🙊🙈

@flossy12 oh babeeeee, this sounds gorgeous!!!! What a fab idea! So pleased for you. Would it be acceptable for me to steal this idea but with my puppy?? Not weird at all right??? Hehehehe. When do you leave? Is it today? Eeeek I hope you have the best time. We will miss you!!!!

Holiday bound! 😬😆 hair looks lush!

We had a massive Chinese then I took little man in the kitchen and put his 'Promoted to big brother May 2020' t-shirt on and got the scan picture out and told him to go show them

Was lovely ☺️😆 they couldn't believe it, lots of hugs and tears all round 🤣 they're very excited! We face timed my sister as she wanted to see their reactions and she cried again 😅 💞 🥜

@Gigi318 Make sure you save some energy for DTD 😆 I think I'll test at the weekend - though honestly I kind of want to teat tomorrow already 😇 Would 11 DPO be acceptable to test?

@Katie1109 hehehehe no I'm sure you have. How exciting. AF would be earlier too then. Yay. Now the wait commences!! No that's definitely right, watery before then creamy after. I think it can be more like chalky right after AF if you get it? But that sounds about right to me. It's what mine does 🙊🙈

@claireb707 hehehehe I think it's all good if you get that BFP! Eeeek so exciting!!!

@Makeafamily19 eeeek so exciting. Are you keeping your cool at the moment? At least we will all try not to symptom spot until 10dpo now. Which will definitely help!!!

@Hewie30 hey chick, glad you're back!!! I know, I'm excited - I feel like I can be proactive now. Hurrah! Although it's still a bit of a waiting game isn't it. It's so odd that lots of us has had bizarre AF's this month - particularly you, me, and Katie. Mine was suuuper short and light with spotting before and after. So odd! Yay for CD4, slowly getting there. Hope the UTI starts to get better and that you're enjoying some down time while the odd AF is here!!

@flossy12 amazing - new hair for Mama and telling Granny & Grandad!!!! Exciting stuff.

@Raizelrea I was very energetic on Monday and today I felt it in the morning, but now exhausted from a workout class, cleaning, and preparing a lasagne for dinner. All while trying to squeeze bits of work in between. I need to slow down I think. But that's never been a strong point for me 😂🙈 hehehe will you be testing Mon?? As I think that'll be THE day for me. But only the CM will tell hehehe. And don't you worry, I've been looking at prams too. Soooo cute!!!

@Gigi318 Your CD are almost lined up with my DPO 😃 So you better be DTD when I'm testing 😆😆 Hope you're starting to feel that energy boost from all the lovely estrogen you're getting! I always feel like I can do anything at the second week of my cycle ☺️

@Katie1109 Hope your TWW doesn't drag too much! Good luck!

@claireb707 I don't know, at the very least the potential embryo has more time to implant with a longer luteal phase rather than getting "washed out" prematurely. I don't think a slightly longer one can hurt. I think the early ovulation may be more problematic since you the eggs have less time to ripen so to speak. So if you always ovulate early it may be something to look into?

@Makeafamily19 Yeah I thought it made a lot of sense! One third through the TWW for you then, yay! I'm on the final stretch at 10 DPO now, bring on the weekend! Love baby clothes, too cute. I've been looking at baby cribs and buggies online, far too ahead of myself 😆

@Hewie30 Sorry to hear your UTI isn't better, they're the worst. Hope your antibiotics help. As a frequent sufferer I know they like to linger, I'd recommend taking probiotics as they can make the world of a difference! Also try to stay away from DTD till you're fully recovered - in my experience you tend to ovulate a bit later on cycles where you have a UTI as the body's too busy fighting the infection anyway!

@flossy12 Amazing, they'll be overjoyed! How are you telling them? My parents have been having a bit of a tough time with my grandparents' health lately so I really hope I'll be able to give them some good news soon too.

@Raizelrea hehe aww yeah I did 😆☺️ telling parents tonight! 😬 got my hair appointment now too, just got sat in the chair 🤪

Morning everyone! How are you lovely ladies? It's lovely to see most of you are in your 2ww now 😍. You all hopeful for holding on or think you'll test early?? That's great to hear your body is gearing up for o @gigi318, get dtd! Your windows coming up 😁😁😁. Sorry to hear you got a negative @clare707 it's gutting isn't it! Has AF arrived? Because if it hasn't your still in! Some ladies don't get positives for a while after AF was due!

I'm good! My UTI unfortunately got worse so I'm on antibiotics at the moment, I've told the doctor I'm TTC so he's given me ones that'll be safe just incase. I'm still spotting but AF has been a real weird one! I've only had one morning when I messaged you where it was medium flow the rest of the day and days it's been very light 🤷, I think the uti potentially has messed it up 😂. Ah well! CD4 today 😁

@Raizelrea that's really helpful to know and so true when you think about it. So no point symptom spotting at all until at least 10DPO!

I am about 4/5DPO and AF due 12th October so just a little ahead of you @Katie1109

I just want time to hurry up now 🤣

I was looking at the new next catalogue last night at all the cute baby clothes!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for us all

I'm still in as still no sign of period. Cd27, 17dpo.

Ive heard of short luteal phase being an issue but I'm guessing long ain't great either 🤨

@Katie1109 hehehe hopefully you can hold out as long as pos! So are you 1dpo now?? Exciting!!!! Eeeek I sort of what to be there as then it gets closer 🙊🙊🙊

@Raizelrea Morning chick! I am well, thank you! CD9 now finally! Hurrah. Getting closer and CM starting to amp up again. Hurrah!

@Katie1109 that's amazing, I'm glad for you as hopefully something will have caught! Yes getting excited now. Just trying to DTD as much as we can (without scaring off OH 🤣) so we shall see! CM is getting watery today, so that's definitely a positive sign. Just going to try and cover my bases even if EW arrives later than expected!! Exciting. The TWW begins!!! Now to distract you until then. Will you test on 15th then do you think? X

@flossy12 Completely missed you saying that you had your booking appointment, all these exciting milestones! Won't be long till your next scan!

@Katie1109 Hope you covered all bases! I did read that sometimes ovulation doesn't necessarily match your CM, oddly enough. That said my mum knew someone who ovulated towards the end of their AF so cd7 is also not impossible!

@Gigi318 Morning! How are you today? ☺️

Morning ladies! How are we all today? 💖

@Katie1109 glad to hear it chick! It's so confusing isn't it, best to pay attention to what's going on with CM and see if that helps you maybe. Our bodies can be so confusing sometimes! Yes I'm CD8 now so waiting for this time next week. It will be here before we know it though, I bet! Just enjoying not quiet being in the TWW for now. Hurrah!

@Katie1109 hey chick, how are you? Hmm that is a confusing one. I say go by your body. You may not have O yet? I'm not sure about CD7, I instantly want to say no but it could have been, especially if you get AF next week! Could be a really short cycle maybe? I say keep an eye on that CM!

@Raizelrea that's SO handy to know as the exact same happened to me! I think I will just avoid overanalysing until I'm 10/11dpo and then think about it 🤣 nightmare hey. Glad you're keeping on! I am well thank you, chick. Feeling very much normal I think. Albeit tired, which is more to do with the weather I think! Busy day ahead though, so that's good! How are you? X

@Raizelrea yeah I hope so! ☺️
