morning ladies :) glad that all of us are guilty of the ridiculous Google searches 🙈🙈😂

@Leok83 this thing is that some women do get their bfps super early!! But I reckon they probably didn't calculate ovulation properly and they are maybe 10dpo instead

@ELM7 Beach photos were crazy from bank holiday! I have some time off next week and would like to do a beach trip but worried about how many othe rpeople will have the same idea haha

@fizzl worst thing is that when I was pregnant my Google searches were more ridiculous. Literally before I ate anything I would Google it "strawberries and pregnancy" "ham and pregnancy".......🙈
There is a photo of my mum 7 months pregnant wirh me smoking a cigarette......I am pretty sure I will be okay if i eat an unwashed apple

@SunnySideUp2020 thats nice to want to DTD again though and it not be a chore :D let's hope you can keep up the energy haha!

@Nuggetlover27 have you started the opks yet or not time?

@Annny27 that's so funny! I think we're all definitely guilty of the same! Every cycle I google is it possible to get a BFP at 7 DPO like the answer will miraculously change😂!

ELM7 · 06/07/2020 20:38

Hi Ladies sorry been quiet for a bit just taking a break.

@Annny27 I’m sure if we all shared our google history we could write a book with the crazy things we’ve googled TTC.

@SunnySideUp2020 glad you are feeling relax hopefully that will mean this is your month.

@Fizzl hope AF makes her appearance soon so you can start a fresh

I’m down in Dorset and in no rush to head to the pub or out for dinner. Haven’t seen anything too bad down here on the pubs opening but we had all the idiots descend to the beach when it was hot - it was absolutely ridiculous.

Fizzl · 06/07/2020 19:35

No idea why that's posted twice 🙄

Fizzl · 06/07/2020 19:35

Ah @Annny27 we've all been there! My husband laughed at me the other day because I told him to check a webpage I had open on my phone for some info he needed. Only when he checked the page I'd left open was 'are paint fumes bad for fertility' and not the info he needed🤦🏼‍♀️ he saw the funny side!

@SunnySideUp2020 no sign of her yet - tomorrow will make my lp 10days so we will see what happens! Knowing my luck I'll have a text book 14day lp and will be kicking myself for not ttc 😂

Glad you've been feeling more chilled and relaxed this month! It's good to get away and I'm very jealous you're enjoying the sunshine! Make the most of your time alone and fingers crossed this will be the month for you both 😄🤞

SunnySideUp2020 · 06/07/2020 09:36

Hello ladies!! 🌞

@Annny27 you made me laugh!
Tbh i cringe myself too when i start googling during tww.
I ask questions that literally no one could answer like "does bloating at 4 dpo mean i am pregnant"
😅😅😅
At least i dont post it on mumsnet!!!

How is everyone doing?

@Fizzl has AF made an appearance?

I will enter fertile week in two days but the holiday here is making us a little too enthusiastic and we are exhausting ourselves before we should start dtd 😅😅
Feels so good to be alone and nice weather and everything... massive difference!

Really hoping july is happening for us ☺

Nuggetlover27 · 06/07/2020 08:01

@Annny27 😂 that is too funny ! Sounds like it may be a long WW for you this month. Sounds like you covered it as well as you could 🤞🏻
I'm in the south east too and I couldn't believe the photos from London 😕 so glad I stayed away

Annny27 · 05/07/2020 22:07

Can someone please disable my Google? I genuinely just googled "can my cat tell i am pregnant 2dpo" .......because he is sat on my lap haha. Honestly its embarrassing just writing that I cringe myself sometimes

@Leok83 yes we did 4 days in a row! Glad for the break today 🤣🤣 a busy TWW is ideal! Takes your mind off things hopefully

@fizzl AF will be welcomes and celebrated by you for once haha! And let's hope for an on time ovulation next month for you!! I live in the South East and seeing the photos from London soho yesterday is frightening!

@Nuggetlover27 yes we managed to do the 4 days in a row....the 4th day was definitely the least romantic 🤣 cd10 sounds like a good place to start the opks:D

OP posts:
Nuggetlover27 · 05/07/2020 22:01

@Annny27 hopefully the 3 days covered it 🤞🏻 did you manage to convince DH to DTD 1 more time in the end? I always try to DTD every other day before and during ov. I think if I'm able to pin point ov this month I might DTD 2/3 days in a row too.
I'm gonna start POAS tomorrow (CD10) just one a days for a few days then 2 a day. I'm insistent on catching it ! Haha

@Leok83 that's good that your case numbers are low.
How's TWW going for you?

Leok83 · 05/07/2020 09:31

Sorry guys that seems to have duplicate posted as said 1st failed to post! Can't delete so I've reported my own post😄

Leok83 · 05/07/2020 09:29

Morning everyone! 5DPO here so trying to keep occupied to take mind off TWW..busy on call so it helps although I've a full house to clean and a big garden to weed so have plenty to keep me occupied if I can get a break from work!

@scrumdiddly123 sorry AF arrived, I hope you got a few tipples in for you birthday weekend! Happy birthday!

@Nuggetlover27 I'm in the west of Ireland so our case numbers here are pretty low and overall population is low too so places don't tend to be too packed anyways. Although saying that I've seen a huge amount of Irish tourists in the area this week..obviously they're coming west from Dublin on holidays as they can't fly out..I really hope it doesn't cause a resurgence!

@Annny27 welcome to the TWW! Hope you managed to convince DH to go for 1 last shot but don't worry as it sounds like you have it very well covered if not!

@Fizzl finally your nightmare coming to an end when AF comes! Would be good to get a longer LP in compensation for that horrendous cycle!

Morning everyone 😁

Sorry AF arrived @ELM7 and @scrumdiddly123 - happy birthday tho! Hope you've enjoyed your weekend.

@Annny27 definitely had no plans to be at the pub or restaurants this weekend (and judging by what I've seen happening where I live last night that was a wise decision. Why can't people just be sensible in the circumstances?!) But it's been nice to spend more time with family and it's reassuring that we're getting back to some normality and hopefully it will carry on getting better. I've started getting out more to shops because I don't think it was doing me any good to stay in so much. We've been doing quite a bit of work to our house recently so there has been a few trips to b&q and other house shops. Everywhere has felt quite safe with hand sanitiser everywhere and some places even taking temps before going in.

CD17 is pretty good for ovulation! Did you manage to persuade DH? I hate how much of a chore it becomes after a few days on the trott 😂

I'm expecting AF to arrive either tomorrow or Tuesday if my LP stays the same. Not sure the acupuncturist has worked her magic on that one just yet so pretty sure it will still be 10days this time. I've never been so eager for my period to arrive 😂

Hope everyone else is doing ok

Annny27 · 04/07/2020 12:45

Hey ladies :D 1dpo today 🙌 trying to convince DH to dtd one more time today.....don't see it happening considering we did 3 days in a row haha

@Leok83 yes you are only a few days ahead :D I had cd17 ovulation this time and its a little bit later than my norm

@Nuggetlover27 yeah I have slightly irregular ovulation so I have to use opks from around cd10 to make sure I don't miss it!

@scrumdiddly123 sorry that AF arrived :( gutting! Yeah perhaps take a break from the tracking and you never know, you might fall pregnant with the relaxed method!

How's everyone else doing?

OP posts:
Nuggetlover27 · 03/07/2020 10:11

@Annny27 is it sad that I kinda like going to b&q and then redecorating? 😂
I'm not too sure after last month but before that usually around day 20-22 I think. Last month being a long cycle threw me off but based on cm I think I may have ov around 10-14 days before af arrived

@Leok83 sounds nice to be socialising again. Where abouts are you ? Hoping there won't be a second spike!

scrumdiddly123 · 03/07/2020 09:16

Morning, AF due yesterday and I had quite a lot of spotting all day and she’s here full force this morning! Horrible cramps and backache 😖
it’s my birthday weekend though, one of my sisters and her family are coming to stay today- haven’t seen any of them since January so can’t wait! Going to have a takeaway and wine so that should cheer me up.
We might take a break from TTC now, my recurrent miscarriage appt should hopefully be in august or September which would give us a couple of months off all the stressing and heartache. I don’t know, that’s my thinking at the minute but maybe when AF is over I’ll change my mind. That seems to happen a lot 🙄
Hope everyone else is ok and those waiting to OV do so soon! Xx

Leok83 · 03/07/2020 09:06

Morning everyone!

@ELM7 sorry AF arrived, I think it gets harder with every cycle and takes longer to get out of the rut you feel in. But magically every cycle things start to look up again in the fertile week so hang on in there!

@scrumdiddly123 did your AF arrive? I hope not!

@Annny27 yay for peak!! I'm now 3 DPO so only still a few days ahead!
Ive been out to a cafe and we've organised a night out with food and friends next weekend, it's lovely to socialise again. Things moved faster here than we thought they would with reopenings as the numbers are low (covid ward is empty in nearest hospital now) but I'm worried there'll be a resurgence now a lot of people heading off on holidays abroad, lots of talk of a second wave happening from this.

@SunnySideUp2020 are you not doing an opk at all until CD15? Would you not be worried if there's an earlier ovulation?

@Ejb86 that's good to know about the cheapies. I also found that there was a big difference between the two when waiting for hcg to drop post MC, definitely the FRER the way to go when testing early! Hope ur doing well!

Annny27 · 02/07/2020 20:11

Evening all :) got my peak opk this evening at cd16 so will either ovulate tomorrow or the day after, I sometimes have short LH surges or long ones haha!

@SunnySideUp2020 I have a friend who lives in Paris and she said the same! Glad that things are getting back to normal but a bit early for my liking

@Nuggetlover27 yes I am thinking might for to b&q...how exciting haha! When do you usually ovulate?

@Ejb86 thats interesting that only now you are getting results in a cheapie!!

OP posts:
Ejb86 · 02/07/2020 18:03

Was it someone in this group who said they only use cheapies because they didn't want to waste FRERs?
Just wanted to say that I'm only just now getting a result on a cheapie, a week after getting a BFP on a FRER. So definitely don't rule yourself out based on cheapies. Xx

Nuggetlover27 · 02/07/2020 16:03

Hey all,
Hope you're all doing well. I'm on CD6 today so just waiting to start my OPKs like @SunnySideUp2020

@Annny27 we will also be laying low for a few weeks as well. At most may attempt some more shopping haha

@ELM7 hope you're feeling better. Whenever AF comes for me I always have a few down days before I pick myself up for another month of TTC. It is exhausting.

SunnySideUp2020 · 02/07/2020 10:55

Hello 👋

Well we are fully off lockdown in france... like it never happened. Except in some places like hospitals where you have to wear a mask...

AF is finised for me so now waiting for cd15 to do an opk... will be a long 10 days 😅

@annny27 your peak should be during the night so test tomo morning definitely!!!

Annny27 · 02/07/2020 10:30

Morning girls:) cd16.....still no positive opk but have had loads of ewcm plus a very near opk so I reckon today or tomorrow I will "peak". A little later than usual ovulation but not massively late :)

@ELM7 I think all of us can admit to every month thinking "omg I actually AM pregnant"

How's everyone else doing? A quiet day yesterday!

Is anyone planning on restauranting / pubs on the weekend? We aren't, we are gonna lay low for a few more weeks before venturing out to the new world haha

@scrumdiddly123 sorry you think AF is making her evil appearance.

I did manage to resist the need to test but was going full on with symptom spotting.

Had a awful pain on Sat and basically convinced myself that was implantation. Boobs weren’t as sore this month as last and when I did get pregnant last time I had zero symptoms so this month AF symptoms being less than normal made me think that this might actually be the month.

@Annny27 nippers did make me smile!

Annny27 · 01/07/2020 10:04

nipples* not nippers haha
