@CiaraJ01 I'm sweating like no other I can't cope😫😂

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 09:51

PS does anyone else start to feel this is like writing in a diary? 😂😂 Getting all your thoughts written down each day as a stress reliever?!

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 09:50

Good morning baby makers!

@mellymoo86 well done on the alcohol free dinner party! Actually well done in the dinner party in general, I've never hosted! I've not really drank in the house for months now so definitely getting used to it, although visiting home will be a little harder as Irish people almost prefer house parties to pubs so it's a social thing to have a few drinks after dinner in the weekend with family and I'll struggle to escape that. I've thought if I get my BFP and I tell them on Christmas day (that's the dream 🥰) I'll have to buy non alcoholic and randomly pull the labels off 😂😂

I'm glad we're all learning to chill. It can only benefit us and we have enough hormones going on! My PT tried to move my session from 11am to 8am this morning so I've said I'd rather cancel and have a relaxed morning! So I'm say in bed with a coffee. Which is another point... avoiding caffeine anyone??

@nt1992 nit long to go now 🤞🤞

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 08:56

Woke up I'm so full of gas, absolutely burning up to the point where I feel faint cervix is medium-high & closed - 13 DPO. Either I'm pregnant or I'm coming down with something 😭😭😭

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 04:29

@PrettyGirl5545 thank you! Sending you baby dust this cycle 🤞🏼

PrettyGirl5545 · 14/12/2019 04:24

Hello ladies! I'm done with my period! On cycle day 8.
Everything crossed for u @nt1992

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 00:58

@CiaraJ01 Woohoo Diet Coke. How exciting lol! Not long to go now, fingers crossed for you. I guess you never really know until AF arrives. I just finished hosting a dinner party for some friends. I didn't drink and thankfully they didn't really notice or comment. The girl doesn't really drink so that helped. I think the more I do it the more I'm getting used to it. Going out with a friend for dinner was hard enough but now I've had a dinner party 🥳 😯

@Skygirl1983 the laid back method is always the best and you also have symptoms which is good. This period might help to keep us all a little extra distracted. 🤞🏽

@nt1992 Definitely try to wait until Sunday if you're able to. A busy day tomorrow will help. I'm having a chilled weekend, can't rmr the last tome I had one.

FutureMrsSmith · 13/12/2019 22:24

Definitely the right thing to do. I have been for a cinema date with little sister to keep me occupied and lift my spirits

nt1992 · 13/12/2019 21:47

@FutureMrsSmith got a day planned tomorrow full of Christmas fun so that'll keep me busy tomorrow🎅🏻

FutureMrsSmith · 13/12/2019 21:34

@nt1992 I'm not really sure what to say! Fingers crossed that line gets stronger. I'd leave it a few days if you can. It should be darker by then. X

nt1992 · 13/12/2019 21:08

@Skygirl1983 thank you🤞🏼

Skygirl1983 · 13/12/2019 21:02

@mellymoo86 not yet. I'm around ovulation according to my app and getting my usual side pains. But I've not been opk'ing this month. I have my ewcm. Tbh I haven't thought much about ttc since my period and it feels quite stress free. My AF is due around xmas day so at least I'll be distracted.

@nt1992 keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you.

@CiaraJ01 I currently have some WKD in my fridge. Fertile period for me so wild Friday night in for us ;)

Just took apart my frer from earlier and I'm sure there's a super super squinter so I'm using that to see me through until Sunday morning 🤞🏼

CiaraJ01 · 13/12/2019 19:57

@mellymoo86 I think because I've had no symptoms and too busy to analyse I've just accepted it! Although secretly hoping to be suprised after the weekend! AF due around Weds depending on the app.

I'm so with you on the alcohol!! I've been to the shop's tonight and git him beer (after reminding him about Dry Jan again!) and got to the till thinking bloody water it is then! But buckled and ran back for a diet coke. #wildnightin 😂

Sorry @Blondeandbroody and @nt1992 I probably couldn't point out my cervix on a map!

nt1992 · 13/12/2019 19:27

@mellymoo86 I think by this stage it was about medium height and it was medium open? I'm sure I've just checked back on my apps. But who knows I'll keep checking it over the weekend

mellymoo86 · 13/12/2019 19:24

@nt1992 form what I've read online 'When pregnancy occurs, the cervix will rise up and become soft, yet the uterine will remain tightly closed. This occurs at different times for different women – as early as 12 days after ovulation or well after the pregnancy has been confirmed'. Because it varies so much it's hard to say. It can be a good sign but it can also drop later on closer to AF. Keep an eye on it as you're doing and monitor. Did you check it last cycle? If so, did it happen last time?

mellymoo86 · 13/12/2019 19:20

@Blondeandbroody I like this diagram.

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
nt1992 · 13/12/2019 19:20

@mellymoo86 would you think an extremely high cervix at 12 DPO is a sign?

Blondeandbroody · 13/12/2019 19:19

@mellymoo86 thank you lovely. I had been feeling the same thing about there conflicting stories I literally read two in a row and both said the opposite so I won't judge it by that. Clinging onto anything and everything because I've had zero symptoms today!

Im cervix is so high I genuinely panicked for a split second thinking where the fluff is it haha! I'll just hope it doesn't drop then.

mellymoo86 · 13/12/2019 19:17

@Blondeandbroody I don't really go by CM, I've found to many conflicting stories about it. Lots of discharge can mean early pregnancy, or high progesterone or high estrogen. Or it can mean you have thrush 😂 I do monitor my cervix though and it being high is a good thing. It tends to drop a few days before your AF.

Blondeandbroody · 13/12/2019 19:02

Sorry if TMI, but does anybody know about CM?

I'm cycle day 26 of a presumed 30 day cycle. I couldn't find my cervix today it was so high haha and my CM has increased in amount and thickness.

I know it's not a clear cut indicator of pregnancy but this girl is struggling to just let it be until AF due on Wednesday haha!

Conflicting reports on google about what CM should be like before period due or if you're preggo

nt1992 · 13/12/2019 19:00

@mellymoo86 @Skygirl1983 @CiaraJ01 the only thing keeping my positive is the 2 faint lines & my very high cervix😂

mellymoo86 · 13/12/2019 18:50

@Skygirl1983 Love the nails! Very Christmassy. 😍 Are you in the 2ww?

@nt1992 Agreed with @CiaraJ01 try to wait a bit more time for a reliable result 😊

@CiaraJ01 Aww don't have that mentally THINK POSITIVE WOMAN!! I do know what you mean though, it sort of helps you keep your sanity during the waiting period.
I'm glad my AF is due 25th - 26th. If it's a BFN I'll be able to drink over the holidays and start again in the new year. Only been a few days with no drinking and I'm already thinking about it 😂 what am I supposed to do with my hand now. One was for doritoes and the other one was for a drink. Now I'm sitting here with water. Lol

nt1992 · 13/12/2019 18:48

@Skygirl1983 around Sunday Monday I'm going to just wait it out now its driving me nuts and why will be will be
