Anyone testing just before Christmas?

Hey ladies. I'm now on CD 14 and just got what I think is a positive LH test. What do you guys think?? Would you count this as positive? It's the bottom test on the page... Help/advice appreciated!

Do you follow a regular slimming world plan? Or one specifically for pregnancy?

@debbs77 slimming world is great, I managed to do it from home without going to the groups because I couldn't make any meetings near me so that's an option if you don't want the group support. Also free! I was losing 2 lbs a weeks consistently

Thank you xx

@debbs77 slimming world is the only diet recommended by the royal college of gynaecologists during pregnancy so if actively TTC that's prob best.

Sorry to slightly change the topic, but can anyone advise on a healthy weight loss diet while trying to conceive? I'd like to lose at least a stone, two if possible, as soon as possible

@HerondaleDucks that eas my plan initially but OH Is at a works do so have said he cant be out too late 🤣! Fingers crossed for the both of us!

Same as me @Loubell19
I'm planning ways to seduce my dh tonight... I don't want to kill the mood and say you have to have sex with me because this is the week to have sex!

Hey all hope you dont mind me joining! I'm cycle 1 for baby no 1 had my implant out 2 weeks ago and I'm ovulating today! So will be testing 21st december if I dont give in sooner!

@Mystie I only had one last month i think but i was so ill I couldnt have drunk if I wanted to. If we do get a BFP on the 18th I'm not sure how I'll explain my not drinking over christmas

@crazychemist thank you. I am keeping everything crossed.

If I do ovulate I won't be drinking in the two week wait. I am far too hard on myself and if I had a miscarriage (even though I know it wouldn't be related) I would take it badly.

@Pwd1 I'm definitely drinking in the next two weeks! Last month I was so healthy and didn't drink and convinced myself I was pregnant and then felt even worse when I got a BFN. At least this way if it doesn't happen I won't have missed out on all the festive fun! Like @TunnocksTcake said (great name btw) a few drinks won't affect anything and will defo help the time pass by quicker by relaxing and having fun! AF due 18/19 so am defo waiting until at least then before testing. Last month I started tested at 7dpo 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I think as long as it's not excessive and you dont go crazy then it should be fine.
@TunnocksTcake I didnt realise it was 6 weeks, not sure why but I always thought it was sooner than that. Though thinking about it that does make sense actually

I have been thinking about drinking as well. I thought a glass or two of wine at the xmas party tomorrow won't hurt.
I did have a funny thought at the gym yesterday morning whether all the jumping around helped the sperm get to the right places and it made me laugh aloud. So I probably looked like a nutcase 😂

Morning All! I had my temp spike to confirm ovulation today so officially in the 2ww. Doing SMEP so have done our 3 days of sex in a row, day off today then one more go Tomorrow. Exhausting!! Due af on 18th/19th Dec and WILL NOT test early! Had serious symptoms last month and could have sworn I was preggers but nada!
I have been feeling cautious about drinking in the 2ww but I think so long as you don't go crazy its fine, baby doesn't take anything from you until 6 weeks anyway so can't do any harm and it will probably actually relax you. Definitely planning on having a couple at the pub tonight :)

@debbs77 the tww is awful. I try not to but always seem to find myself symptom spotting.
Fingers crossed for a nice christmas surprise for you and your partner 😁🤞

I genuinely don't know how so many of you do this waiting every month. Hats on to you all. I'm convinced that every boob tingle means I'm pregnant.

I've definitely ovulated so now.....we wait!

My period is due the 20th December but I'm going to attempt to wait until christmas day to test if it doesn't arrive.....then surprise my partner with the positive test

@Mystie I'm hoping so too, it's such a busy time so I'm hoping itll make the tww bearable. I think I'll have a few but I wont be drinking a great deal. Maybe 1 or 2 over a weekend unless I have very strong symptoms. Are you planning to? Or avoiding it altogether?

Can I join? AF due 22nd, due to ovulate today/tomorrow...desperately hoping for as late as possible as OH away tonight. Still flashing on CB advanced OPK so fingers crossed!

Oh, I’m getting so impatient for ovulation now! No sign of EWCM yet, so I think I’ve still got at least a few days, maybe a week if I ovulate the same as last cycle.

@SonjaMorgan I usually get EWCM a day or 2 before a positive OPK, so fingers crossed! Last cycle I had EWCM cd 11-15, a positive OPK on cd 15&16, and according to temperatures it was cd16 that I actually ovulated. So get busy!

For those that have been ttc a while..... how do you get some spontenaity into it? Tonight will be a “dtd night”. Feels like we’ve totally lost the romance. It’s still fun and all, but in all honesty towards the end it feels like a job to do and I’m sure DH feels under pressure sometimes.

@HerondaleDucks everyone says egg whites but I am saying thick snot. There are some lovely pictures out there if you Google it 😂

Fingers crossed for you @debbs77 you deserve it!
What does ewcm look like? But great news @SonjaMorgan!

A good evening and hopefully a good first thing tomorrow morning!

My partner and I are actively trying but without discussing it as 'we need to have sex today!' Kind of thing. Just at it as much as possible!

@debbs77 have a good evening ;-).

I have some ewcm! Sorry I know it's TMI but this is the first time I have noticed any in around 2 years. Trying not to get my hopes up but I feel like it is something even though the opk was negative just before lunch time.

@Pwd1 I'm due on 18th as well! Hoping Christmas build up will be welcome distraction. Are you planning on drinking during tww?
