TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

@Hannargh omg how on earth do you manage I get upset when I come home at 6 🤣 no wonder your tired! I've been feeling sleepy too just have so much on with all these house viewing as well, we did actually happen to make up and have unexpected sex which was nice

@TheCakeIsALie18 your right this is exactly what we should be doing. Struggling a bit as he's skint till pay day and we've got so much on but will try and set aside some cheap bonding time. How are you feeling?

👋👋👋@Shleepymummy I started doing mine at cd8 and supposed to ovulate cd15/16 so around 8 days as well its really been stressing me out last time I started at cd13 and I was feeling much more chilled!

@Shleepymummy great to hear from you! ❤️ how have you been?
think we are predicted to ovulate at exactly the same time, flo is saying in 8 days and it's usually pretty spot on. i'm going to start opks on monday i think. i need to get stocked up. i haven't been measuring bbt this month - just experimenting to see whether it makes me any less insane 🤣 i've also got a bit of a boozy month coming up so i'm just taking my foot off the gas a little. xxx

Feel like I’ve been MIA forever! Time just flies sometimes
@TheCakeIsALie18 sorry to hear the digital didn’t give you the 3 weeks. But your other test is so strong! Try not to worry about the digital, as someone else said they didn’t used to exist. Hard I know when you’ve had a lost and are worried!
@eleveneleven11 how are you? Have you started opks? I’ve been doing bbt and recording that but haven’t got enough data yet for anything
@Nypie and @Hannargh have you guys started opks? I’m supposed to ovulate in about 8 days, thinking I start Sunday maybe?!

hi all!

im doing ok today thanks @TheCakeIsALie18 - only around a week away from O now. i've barely thought about it actually which has been such a nice mental break from last month. how are you today?

glad its now the long weekend, just finishing up a few things at work and then out with the dog for a big walk.

anyone got any nice bank hol plans? xxx

Hey @Nypie just got home 20mins ago from work 🥴 one more day of hosting kids and then I can relax again. CD 13 for me and will start opk testing soon as I've should be next weekend. Apart from being absolutely knackered this week, I'm good!

How about you? It's hard when you have to dtd knowing that it's for a reason rather than just because. But hopefully it can be fun too!

@TheCakeIsALie18 I know only a few days! Dp is annoying me tonight he's so stroppy sometimes so not sure if we'll be able to cover today 🙄. I feel good about this cycle but I feel like we've dtd a few times that feel quite forced to me so hope this isnt a sign of things to come! So glad your feeling more positive and no more cramping, will you test again?

@Hannargh how're you??

👋👋👋 hey all, cd12 for me aswell got some twinges on my left side but lh is still reading low so looks like o will be cd15 again.

@TheCakeIsALie18 sorry you havent got your 3+ yet but that line is beautiful!

Hope everyone else is good!

@TheCakeIsALie18 ah i see, yeah that makes sense 😊

i'm ok thank you. plodding along, just waiting for a brow appointment haha. the only good thing about not being pregnant - i can continue to get my brows laminated! i freaked out when i found out pregnant women can't have the treatment, i loveeee having my brows laminated and they are so flat without it 😂 so i'm making the most of that!

@TheCakeIsALie18 hey! sorry to hear you didn't get your 3+ - you feeling ok? i don't know enough/anything about early pregnancy or digital tests so i wish i could offer more insight but your almost-dye-stealer looks like its a great and positive sign? :) just think if digital tests didn't exist, you'd have no reason to believe that everything wasn't moving along perfectly. sometimes all these tests etc are a hindrance rather than a help! xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 ah that's really useful. I've been taking it more consistently around 7:15am each day and seeing lower temps like that now - finally getting the hang of things!

DH was asking whether he really had to go away that weekend and I was all 'yes. We will have a lovely time. Let's go' 😅

@TheCakeIsALie18 - take heart! That's still looking good and strong and still progression on your other tests xx

All good here - I'm running a residential trip for some kids this week so it's a long and tiring one. CD12 for me today and not much else going on - will start opks on Friday to keep an eye out for O which will probably be later next week.
Been a lot more disciplined with taking bbt at a consistent time this month and I've had much lower temps than usual which is interesting. Not sure if there's a cause but have done an occasional opk just in case something is going on but they're as low as I'd expect them to be. Going away for the weekend next week, timed perfectly with O - so should be fun 😉

@TheCakeIsALie18 definitely easier said than done but the intention is the first step! 2 days since your 5+4 milestone and not long to wait until the early scan :)

im doing ok today thank you - yesterday was tough, i had a bad weekend and fought tears in the car on the way to work but i'm feeling so much better today. my hormones and emotions are wild at the moment haha. AF has gone away (hopefully won't see her again for a long time!!!) and im feeling pretty chill about this cycle x

thanks for the advice ladies! when i get paid i'll get searching for some more vitamin gummies and make sure my husband is stocked up too :)

@Hannargh I think I wasn't going to take that vitamin for the same reason but I'm now in the mind that if it changes your cycles theres probably something that needed to be changed! But you have to do what you feel is right. Ohh I've heard positive things about starflower I might add it to the list 😂🤣. Loving the SMEP light I'm also feeding DP vitamins and hes been banned from vaping. Ah it must be annoying having to wait so long but hopefully it gives the prep more time to work!

@xttcbabyno1x Honestly I would say I've lost it but this is quite typical behaviour 😂😂 sounds like a good idea! I guess its almost like testing early just because you dont see it doesnt mean its not there! But really hope its clear as daylight for you 🤞🤞🤞

@eleveneleven11 I love to research theres a book about taking control of your fertility and I might invest in it it looks like a text book! As @TheCakeIsALie18 said there are so many chewables online! I'm gonna get the magnesium one as stress is an issue for me. If your not fussy you can get a lot of these nutrients from food: lots of fish (not from a can), white meat, wholegrains, spinach, avocado, olive oil, brocolli, eggs, greek yogurt nuts and seeds

@TheCakeIsALie18 Glad you're feeling a bit better! That's annoying anout the test sounds like a good idea to give it a few more days thankfully these things aren't an exact science.

Thanks for that :) everything tightly cross for this bean!
