Hope you move enjoyed your time off 😊
this is cycle 6 of properly trying, we did have around 6 months before that where we didn’t prevent but kind of hoped it would happen before getting serious with the tracking etc. So feels a lifetime lol. Yeah being busy definitely helps with overthinking every little twinge 😂 X

@CrazyKJ make that 3 times today 🫣 it's definitely rising though! Fingers crossed for you that this is the month! What cycle are you on?

I think being busy always helps! I'm good thank you! Optimistic that at least things kind of work! Also go a busy weekend then back to work on Monday x

CrazyKJ · 30/05/2025 21:51

Hopefully you catch your peak soon! Even without that all the BDing means in theory you should be in with a good chance 🤞
We’ve managed to BD on all the right days this month so hoping that’s enough 🫣
I managed to just wait out AF this month without testing, so I’m going to try and do that again unless I get any odd symptoms. I’m feeling pretty good at the minute, got quite a busy weekend with seeing family. How about you? X

Hi @CrazyKJcurrently testing for ovulation twice a day while I'm off work and was BDing every other day except switched it up and did it yesterday and today as think DH will be too busy tomorrow!

Eurgh, the dreaded tww! You going to wait until AF should have arrived to test?

How are you? X

Hows everyone getting on? 😊
I’m 1dpo today so officially in the tww once again lol X

CrazyKJ · 24/05/2025 22:40

Ooh nice, sounds like a lovely few days 😊 I love a good clear out, there’s something so satisfying about it lol. our front garden is suddenly resembling a jungle, so if the rain stays away tomorrow either Ive got to do something about that or convince hubby that he wants to (unlikely!) 😂

I'm the same, it's hard isn't it. People at work and in the family are pregnant so it seems to be everywhere!

Lunch at friends sounds nice. We are quite busy, parties, eating out, and then I'm off all week so going to try and get jobs done. I've managed to tidy all his toys downstairs today and chuck all the maccies toys and other random crap from magazines that were getting on my nerves! So feeling good tonight! Haha xx

CrazyKJ · 24/05/2025 18:23

Yeah you’re right, we will get there eventually 😊 We’ve got a couple of friends expecting at the minute so all the talk is babies, baby showers and general pregnancy. As genuinely happy as I am for them both it just really stings right now. We’ve not got much on this weekend, going to our friends on Monday for lunch but otherwise just going to try and get some jobs around the house done.
How about you? X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 24/05/2025 13:23

Ah we will get there! I thought that last month about not having long enough afterwards, so maybe that's why it didn't stick, but I'll see how I get on this month.

Are you doing anything nice this weekend? X

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 24/05/2025 13:08

ah glad you’re okay 😊 my apps all said I should ovulate like a week before i actually do as well. Can’t say knowing when I ovulate has helped so far but can’t hurt so will continue with the opks. Really struggling to reset my brain this month as I’m finding myself worrying about ovulating too late again already 🙈
Like you say what will be will be, need to get my head back in the game X

Hi! AF has just left, so will be aiming for every other day this cycle starting tonight.. haven't told DH yet 🤣 will be back doing the OPKs too as I think that helped up last month with knowing when ovulation actually was. The apps said much earlier and going off CM signs I would have presumed earlier than it was. Im only using the Premom app too now, got rid of the others. What will be will be!

How are you?

5dpo body playing impossible tricks on me- just 5 days to go!

CrazyKJ · 24/05/2025 10:03

Happy weekend! How’s everyone doing? X

CrazyKJ · 19/05/2025 12:56

@peanutForever ah that’s good to hear, thanks 😊

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate how frustrating for you 😩 hopefully if AF is coming she hurry’s up so you can move on to the next cycle 🤞

Blahgghhhh.. I had the red blood yesterday when I was getting in the shower. Nothing on my tampons when i changed last night before bed, this morning, or just now. Like, JUST START PROPERLY! Rant over 🙃

Yes, we only BD Saturday and Sunday, with my peak being Sunday so ovulation Monday/Tuesday.. and it obviously caught, so you could have done enough 🤞🏻

I've just been taking folic acid but might get back on the multivitamin that contains enough folic acid!

@CrazyKJvit c has been a game changer in terms of immunity, defo recommend for you and any kiddos - i give to DS and up the dose whenever he seems to be under the weather and it almost cures him overnight

CrazyKJ · 19/05/2025 10:15

Not too bad today, feeling a bit more positive now AF has cleared off. Decided to start taking Vit C alongside my other supplements as heard it can help with luteal phase. Figured if nothing else it might help with the constant stream of nursery bugs 😂 X

TigerLily38 · 19/05/2025 10:14

@peanutForever I actually read somewhere that the chances of conception are higher 2-3 days before ovulation than on the actual day, so your timing might be perfect! Fingers crossed for you and hope your DH recovers quickly! X

peanutForever · 19/05/2025 10:11

thats a great attitude to have! Really wishing for baby dust on your next cycle

im feeling really deflated tbh we DTD 15/17 and i got my peak last night..so assume ovulation today or tomo..we was planning on BD yday and today to maximise our chances- DH was setting the mood and everything but yday DH got a really bad football related groin related yday morning (just our luck) and weve been advised no BD until hes better. I know we have a chance but i feel like its really limited us 😢

Thabk you @peanutForever@MsFr@CrazyKJ! It is what it is, I cant change it so as much as it's gutting im not going to dwell on it! We move to the next cycle, and hopefully catch and stick soon 🙂

I've left the bigger group now as it was very overwhelming!

How are you all? X
