Ah we had swimming lesson yesterday! But this morning he shouted at about half 11, then half 4, then half 5 and then finally got up at 6 🙃 but my washing is out on the line so I'm happy!

Oohhhhh yea, pool and bbq sounds lovely! We're having a walk up to my PILs, so might try and convince them to do a bbq 😋

Other than that all good x

Morning, I’m okay thanks 😊 AF would be Tuesday or Wednesday for me. Feeling really tired at the minute but we’re up early for little ones swimming lesson so not reading too much into that lol. Hoping to get the paddling pool out this afternoon, make the most of the lovely weather. May even see if I can convince hubby to get out the bbq lol. Definitely need to quote him on that when he’s complaining about how much stuff you have to take lol.
How are you? X

Good morning! Didn't get a notification for your last comment, how annoying!

I'm 6dpo today, AF due Wednesday or Thursday. I've also no clue which way it could go! No noticeable symptoms but don't want to symptoms spot either!

I did say if this wasn't our month then we would have a break because we've booked a holiday for next April but my DH has said we can't do that and we'd be fine, but to remind him of him saying that if we end up on holiday with a new born 🤣

How are you? X

How’s everyone doing?
I’m 6dpo now, AF is due in 3 or 4 days. Not had any noticeable symptoms so genuinely no idea which way it’s gonna go this month

CrazyKJ · 06/05/2025 10:46

Morning, I’m doing okay thanks. My 2 year old was heartbroken at being left at Nannie’s this morning while I work. Feeling a bit meh about that but know he’ll be fine just makes you feel guilty.
Hope you ladies are doing okay, what will be will be. Nothing we can do now but cross our fingers and hope for the best! 🤞🤞🤞

Disappointing that we didn't DTD last night.. I was hangry 🫠 maybe tonight! If it doesn't work this month I think we'll have to have a break for a few months as we have a holiday booked in April next year.. dont want a newborn or to be heavily pregnant! How are you?

I was going to say the same thing too, sometimes I adjust the T & C lines when I take the photo as they're not exactly on properly and that changes things too! I've also seen lots of people say to go off the colour more than the number as the app can get it wrong, so definitely good that you can see the colour difference 😊

Welcome to the 2ww! How are you both feeling?

CrazyKJ · 05/05/2025 18:00

The couple previous look darker to me too 🤞

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 05/05/2025 16:44

Hopefully. I do think yesterday's looks darker so 🤞

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 05/05/2025 16:18

Ah that’s strange, could just be the lighting? I’ve had a couple that had different readings depending where I took the photo 🙈

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 05/05/2025 15:19

Wahhhh I'm confused now! It says the one I've just done is higher but doesn't look as dark to me. I'm never going to have the days I need after ovulation at this rate!

3dpo - anyone else?

TigerLily38 · 05/05/2025 14:12

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate oh we are very in sync - my 24 hours is 11pm tonight!! I ended up doing another one late last night and that was the peak😅 I think we will try and do the same and hope for the best 🤞...how exciting that we're all a similar dpo😊

So sorry to hear of your CP💐, but it's so positive to know that you've had baby #1 and have no problems with getting a BFP! Will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for us all!

On another thread someone suggested that ovulation is today if peak was yesterday, although I've read 12-36 hours after peak, so my 24 hours would be about 9pm tonight. Hopefully will BD tonight but then probably won't tomorrow. At least we'll have done 3 nights in a row.

One cycle is all it takes! That's all it took to get pregnant with my #1 and with my CP! This time is taking longer for me!

@CrazyKJ @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate hello! 😊

I'm feeling ok at the moment, only on cycle 1 of "properly" trying (last few months was sort of not trying but not preventing) so feel like I'm learning a lot lol! Trying not to get my hopes up too much as a few of my friends had to wait a good while for a bfp...but secretly still hopeful 🤣 how are you doing? 😊

A bit confused today as I had another positive OPK but lower than yesterday's, so apparently yesterday was my peak...not sure if that means ovulation will happen today or tomorrow, but at least it's near! I just want to get into the tww now😅

Good morning @TigerLily38, ovulation twin! Lovely to have you here!! It is hard when no-one knows that you're trying. I have a couple of friends at work because I work super close with them, but no-one else knows. How are you feeling? What cycle are you on?

@CrazyKJwe have a busy day of visiting people and maybe a cheeky ride out somewhere! Sunny but cold out!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate
it is weirdly so satisfying once they start getting darker lol. I’m doing okay thanks, We’ve not got much planned for tomorrow yet but not mad about that to be honest. How about you? 😊
@TigerLily38 Hello! Definitely helps to have people to natter with. So easy to drive yourself crazy analysing every little sign on google (we’ve all been there lol).
Were all around the same time so can wait it out together 😊

TigerLily38 · 04/05/2025 22:56

Hi, could I join please? TTC #1 and finding it so helpful reading threads like these, as it's so lonely otherwise isn't it! No one knows we are TTC so driving myself nuts googling things with no one to talk to about it😅

I'm CD16 today, think I got my peak today too so we are ovulation twins!

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 04/05/2025 22:18

I didn't realise it was so satisfying getting such a dark line 🤣 i was well chuffed with it!

How are you doing in general, anyway? Nice plans for the bank hol?

CrazyKJ · 04/05/2025 22:16

Ooh that is a really nice dark one, definitely got your peak! 😁

Tested again and darker still!

3dpo - anyone else?

Haha my hubby is sick of the sticks now. He’s more than happy to do the fun bit but not keen on a stick telling him when 😂

Original poster
Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 04/05/2025 18:05

Well the DH has been told that the magic stick says we have to BD tonight and tomorrow (and maybe Tuesday if we have it in us 🤣). We did BD yesterday but that might have been too early to count.

CrazyKJ · 04/05/2025 17:58

Ooh super eggs I like that 😂 I find my opks are darker in the evening so sometimes it’s worth doing another 😊

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 04/05/2025 17:45

Ours eggs have got this 💪🏻 our little super eggs!!! Might do another OPK and see if it's the same, less or more!
