"Casually" TTC

[BigChiefThunderThighs]

TTC number 2, we've agreed to go ahead in a "let's just see whAt happens, no pressure" kind of way. so I'm casually charting my cycles with a fertility app, breezily checking my cervical mucous, nonchalantly scouring the conception board and definitely not compiling a list of names for dc2 .
What is so frustrating is that because I'm "casually" charting all of this I know exactly when my fertile window is and keep bloody missing it because I don't want to give the game away and look like baby crazed monster! Last month my carefully timed advances were thwarted by a five-aside groin strain. I think today was the day and was planning a seduction after dd's bedtime but he announced he was off to his brothers for a bank holiday drink.
This is lighthearted and is not a problem with communication in my marriage. I think he felt the pressure last time and I'm really trying to keep this as relaxed as possible (for him) but that's just not my style.

Thats brilliant news kitkat.. Now you have a new cycle finally. It's a killer not knowing what's going on.

Ovia says I'm due on the 19th so we shall see if this cycle is back to normal finally.

Hello! Can I join please?
I'm 27 and ttc#1

I've namechanged as it's too cringy to talk about ttc stuff under my normal name

I'm being pretty casual about the actual ttc bit (no OPKs, no taking my temperature) but I'm looking at pretty prams instead.

Can I join too??
Ever so casually TTC #2. Have all the apps etc

Yay KitKat!
Welcome Piper and FruitSalad.

Had a weird combination of super lovely/difficult and draining weekend here. PIL and DM all visiting (that in itself not stressful, we are fortunate to all get on very well). Had such a nice weekend, lots of fun, and the whole time I was feeling absolutely devastated and terrified about DH's upcoming tests. None of the family knows about DH's tests and our worries, so had to have a happy face on the whole time, which is exhausting.

We've all really been through a difficult time recently anyway, and my mum even commented how happy we all are at last. I nodded with my heart breaking inside. Sorry this is a real downer, but I really need to get this off my chest, and I've no one else to talk to about it.

Guests all left a few hours ago and I just fell asleep straight away! DH tests are tomorrow, and he's away for work tomorrow night.

How's everyone else's weekend been? x

Sorry to hear that pallascat hopefully everything comes back good.

We had an eventful week, brought a hot tub, first night my eldest got out for the toilet and slipped over in the house resulting in a trip to A&E getting his knee glued and stitched back together so no school Thursday and Friday. Lots of gaming went on this weekend to keep him occupied and eating rubbish food. Watched the massive storm that went on for hours. Took mums dog to the vets as it's got quite poorly Sunday. Shoe and swimwear shopping was however involved this weekend ready for our holiday next month. Fixed up some more of our touring caravan, we brought a clapped out old thing as a project for £50! But it needed new skylights/door window etc.

My opks have negative again now so I at least had the surge on the day though I took a sip of drink and it felt like concrete hit my stomach same day as my positive test which was quite bazar. Just a dull ache in my stomach these last few days though.

Welcome piper and fruitsalad

We had unexpectedly early good news today! Health scare was a false alarm, Mr Cat is fine! Super happy.
How's everyone else?

I think everyone has become so casual we are not even posting

Ovia says I should text tomorrow but period not due if on time till Sunday.

I've got all my trial stuff turn up so free opks and preg tests

I'm on a casual too and hope u don't mind me joining in .... I want it to happen now but I'm pessimistic .... Got a few apps and apparently I will be ovulating tomorrow so did the deed (dtd right?) last night ha ha ... Best of luck to u all xxx

Freaking out a bit here....

Just did a poundland cheapy and I swear there is a very faint line! Omg!

I don't know if it's just my eyes as I can't get it on my phone on the camera.. Supposed to be going on a boozy night out Saturday as thought I would be out still this month due to how long my last cycle was.

Fingers crossed for you emilee

I guess my cheapie was right

Awh congrats can I ask how long u have been ttc please xx

Yeah it is my phone is terrible for pictures of stuff like that. 2 internet cheapie's and a clearl blue saying positive... Eek I'm going to have three children next year.

This is month 7, my last cycle however ran into 165 days.

Haven't done anything different apart from where we have been Dtd lol
