New thread for the crazy gang part 2!

@katie1109 maybe have tonight off? Just to let the swimmers have a night before you get into peak territory

Morning all how are we?
CD12 today and opks are still showing low x ovulation predicted for Friday or Saturday x DTD last night and hoping to continue until Saturday although might have a night off tonight. What do you all think? x
When is everyone ovulating? x

@Beau2020x yours are similar to mine from last cycle. It went from pretty low 20s on cd14 and morning of cd15 to peak that afternoon. So I’d say you’ll be there soon 🍾

@Beau2020x @ellsbells112 just realised I’m a complete plonker. I thought I was cd15 today but it’s the 15th January 🤪 actually only cd12 so still 3 days off. Maybe I should take up coffee again 😹

@Quiffy what CD are you on? You're only one behind me I think? I'm CD14 today and OPKs are going nowhere. Lines are taking at least 15-20 mins to get as dark as they are in my photos.

@Blondeandbroody maybe you peaked overnight near the high ones? I’d keep testing and see if your peak is yet to come.

@ellsbells112 @Beau2020x sorry you both went through rough times ❤️

I’ve still got this horrible bug. Spent another evening in the loo after thinking it had passed. Naturally, DH was not for dtd 😹. My lh tests are still zero so guess it’s not too much of a worry that we haven’t this fertile period. Although last month I got my peak result on cd 15 so that’s weird. Will just have to wait and see I guess.

@Ellsbells112 thank you lovely.

No didn't manage it last night!! I got the conceive plus out and everything as a little surprise but OH was having none of it. These early morning gym sessions are killing him off by 8pm! Gonna have to jump him early tonight...

As it turns out it's probably not a bad thing, still no closer to getting a peak on OPKs so ovulation date has been pushed back another 2 days to 17th. So going to try DTD tonight, tomorrow and friday. Whyyyy is it so mentally draining trying to plan sex on the EXACT nights that you need it?!

Wow @Ellsbells112 you have been through a LOT!! Sorry to hear all that 😭 I know what you mean though, about stuff that happened in your childhood all of a sudden kind of hitting you as an adult - I had something similar although mine isn't anywhere near as awful as what you went though. I was just totally bullied and pushed out by my dad and step mums family. As a kid a brushed it off but at about 25 it just hit me all and I became a paranoid catastophising mess.

@Blondeandbroody hmmm that's strange - I wouldn't say that the 2 high ones are your peak. But I'd keep testing maybe again this afternoon and tomorrow and if they keep getting fainter then I'd say maybe that was your peak? You are still really early on in your cycle so it may still be yet to come?

The last two tests I mean; the green ones x I've taken 5 today haha and they've all been faint.

Hey girls.

I was hoping you could advise me: here's my OPKs.... the last two days are the same test I just took two pics to try and see if it read it better haha.

But this AM my BBT dropped massively and I've had EWCM today too...

Yesterday I had CM that was more creamy and quite a lot of it (sorry).

@Beau2020x that’s brilliant! We’re more close with my parents, go on holidays and gigs etc. Can’t imagine my in laws like that 😹😹

I remember that Naked Attraction episode, she was hilarious! That show is so cringe but v funny.

I forgot to add - not even the full video, she gets so much better 😂😂😂 if you can find it - watch it!!

Girls - you gotta watch this for a bit of Tuesday evening light entertainment 😂😂😂

@Quiffy to be fair I get on with MIL like a house on fire (and all of OHs family really). I know all sorts about her sex life it's weird as fuck but I don't mind it. She even talks about her sex life to my own mother! We're a really crude open family 😂😂

Oh em gee I cannot imagine my MIL telling me anything like that 😹😹😹😹

@Ellsbells112 just Googled the clit clamps. You filthy animal 😂😂 got to say the ones where you can clamp your nips, both flaps and then connect them all by one chain made my laugh out aloud 😂 my MIL told me she bought her BF a cock cage for Christmas - I was beyond words!!!

@Ellsbells112 clit clamps?! Is that actually a thing 😱 DH treated me to a love honey gift pre Xmas, think it was more for him than me 😂

@Beau2020x I used to always have coffee or tea first thing in the morning, didn't change doing this when TTC the first time, it was only when I actually got pregnant I stopped because I completely went off them both 😷
I've not really drank coffee since, so I still have tea, always a cup in the morning but never more than 3 during the day. I don't think it would make a massive difference re having too much caffeine, unless you've been having about 10 cups of coffee a day surely? X

I was meaning to ask what everyone is doing about coffee etc while trying to conceive? I have 1 coffee every single morning at work and have for the last 6 years. Swear I need it to function!

@ellbells112 love how that went from nettle tea to a clit clamp 😹😹😹 I’ve not not had coffee since before Christmas. I used to drink 3 or 4 cups a day but went off the taste while TTC (think it’s the pre guilt who knows??) but I’ve replaced with tea so I don’t think that’s much better caffeine wise 🤪

@mumofboys17 no :( least as you say, you know. Still disappointing. Scoff all the chocolate x

I agree on the words. Maybe a nice “keep trying and here’s a voucher for an espresso martini and some chocolate”.

@BFP2020 meant to say:

TTC #1 (not been pregnant before so not sure the plumbing works)
30
Cycle 6
Af due jan 31st
