Stupid phone not refreshing so I miss half the conversation.

Hi Jod, we are cycle twins, first cycle post coil too. Fingers crossed for our bfps. I'm hoping to sway pink but I'm not going to do anything about it, just make sure there is plenty of dtd before ov.

Physics, didn't realise you were already into 2ww. Good luck.

Welcome imav. I'm going to use opk sticks from CD 10 just to reassure myself all is working as it should. I get a little buzz when I see the line go super dark.

I'll be testing on 21st Jem as I have a hen do that night x

4dpo CD23

Used OPKs and BBT to confirm... So TWW it is! We shall see nim!! not symptom spotting at all Too many acronyms in one sentence (I must be a teacher)...

But it is early days at cycle 1, so still figuring out quite a lot!

Sucha can you update me for the 11th please! Ta!

Thanks tee, summer & Jod for those tips. Hard in my case when I can't pinpoint ov date. There's no chance but I'll certainly try. Just smiling as can imagine I'd be like.." Ermm not tonight DH I don't think.. Hang on Ermm let me check my opk first and then alkaline test and then my cslendar . Ermm no not this way you got to be on top" That would def put him off the whole ttc thing. Ha ha I'll see what I can do though! On the tablets and trying my best.

Gyne on thurs- it couldn't come sooner.

At least today no cramps or positive opks or any symptoms anymore. So I'm fingers X'd I successfully ovulated!

I'm convinced I've put on weight from eating soooo many chocolate Brazil nuts!!

Welcome ima , looking forward to sharing our ttc journeys.

Parney- non wired sports bras or crop tops are good for sleeping in if u have sore boobs. I remember that was all I could wear.

Jod- yes pink seem to favour less calories and lots of milk and yogurts.

Now this is slightly crazy I know but I received a turkey baster today in post which I ordered as I've always wanted one and suddenly thought wouldn't it be much easier if we could collect the swimmers in a jar as and when partners were able to fill the jar and we use it ourselves with a turkey baster at our own leisure!! When they are out we would inject ourselves and do a handstand or something !? Much easier to get the timing right.

Yes, I'm still testing on 10; might do a day earlier with FR!!

Lol@ Footprints and turkey baster idea!!! Make sure your friends reach for a jar in the fridge when they want a little something to go with their chips!!!!

Make sure your friends *dont

Suchajem- think If I go by latest attempt of ov then I'd be 5dpo today so will now test on - 11th /12th may (although that would make me cd40)!! Yikes. Will know more on Thursday I guess.

Summer- that made me laugh.. Can u imagine someone getting sperm out of the fridge by mistake!! that would be hilarious!!

Oh and something else I just remembered as hot bath before dtd makes it more favourable for pinks. So stick up on some calming radox ladies

*stock up

Jem I'm testing now on the 29th of May. Feeling a bit rubbish today as I'm full of cold. I need to have a really early night tonight I think.(but I say that every night).

AF was really light, only one day of proper blood (and pretty light at that), then just some light brown stuff. (Sorry TMI). I think it's finished now.

Hilarious Footprints and I couldn't agree more! As if there aren't enough rules to follow when TTC! My DH would definitely go on strike if I tried ordering him into various positions etc! When I was reading up on swaying pink, I couldn't believe some of the things some women got their men to comply with; going on the diet, wearing tight underwear, having hot showers before DTD, missionary only with shallow release, taking supplements, long DTD cut- off, cutting out caffeine, checking PH of swimmers... the list is endless. I mean good luck to them, but my hubby would tell me to take a long walk off a short pier if I got that list of instructions out!!!

My opk this morning ... Think I'm on the way up... Yipppeee!
Do you think I should do another one tonight as if I do it tomorrow I might miss it might I?
I have ovulation twinges today - I call them appendix pain because I remember when I was young and got taken to hospital for it as thought my appendix were going to burst ...!

Yea that amount of rules and regulations is going to kill the mood a bit!

Morning ladies!!!
It's 8dpo for me today! Sore breasts today! Similar to AF! Could this be an early sign? Ummmmm? No other symptoms as yet!!!

Cd12
Fingers crossed summerblush!

I never get any boob twinges ever so if I get any of those I know somethings up ...

Symptom sporting .. What a fantastic way to pass the days ... Not!

Have a good day everyone xx

CD13 Morning all

radders no harm doing another one later. Are you DTD daily anyway?

footprints turkey baster!! Crikey. Can sperm survive outside our bodies? I agree that easy access to it would be a lot easier!

So if 3 out of 13 of us are pregnant, that makes us 23% pregnant?

Let's get that % up girls!

CD33 18dpo, 11dpo or 6dpo or no dpo

Sucha - thanks for the updated list. Yes agree to up the %

Jod- out of curiosity how many days have u been bleeding? When I had that midcycle bleed because it was only 24hrs I didn't count it as cd1, and carried on. Do U def think it's AF? Or just a break through bleed.
I read that unless u ovulate AF doesn't come but sometimes a light breakthrough will happen for 24-36hrs.

Radders-did u get any tingly boobs before ? Or any symptoms before your BFP? Sorry I've forgotten. Yes I'd do another one later so then u will know.

Summer- I often sit here thinking I'm feeling nauseous but then it would go so think it's quite easy for us to imagine things. The book that I'm reading says your brain will over think things when you are constantly thinking the same thoughts or subject. Right now I'd love to throw up.. And have sore boobs Just as I would know that I'd b pregnant. Funny how we wish this to happen.

Only symptom I have today is No AF still! and didn't fancy much for breakfast. But that's probably because what I wanted I didn't have.

I've got a list of questions for the gyne man tomorrow - think I'll b his worst patient!

I think my sore boobs maybe down to AF. 10 days before it's due and it's normally around this time of the month I get sore boobs for AF!! Nothing else is going on inside or down there! :-(

CD 4

Morning all, well afternoon now isn't it!

Sucha because AF came early I won't be testing on 7th. Will be 29th when I test now.

Footprints I started bleeding on Sunday. Was heavy Monday, medium yesterday and is light today. Was def AF. Would say it will be gone again tomorrow and can start DTD again!

Last nights conversation had my howling - the turkey Baster!! Anyone else think for a second or two how much easier it would be and wonder if you could do it!!

Anyone heard of soft cups? They could be useful!!

Sorry to hear you are feeling crappy Nim.

Cd15 2dpo
Welcome I'm hope u have a short and successful journey ttc

Sorry for af jod hope u are feeling more positive and are gearing up for a new cycle.

Sorry you're not feeling well nim. Hope you manage an early night. I need one too because am so tired of doing housework grrr

Fx for you summer and hope you are wrong about boob's being a sign of af.((better be early signs 😂))

Thanks Mimi!
Boobs are actually really sore as day has progressed!! AF due next Friday/Saturday according to app! Feels like they've grown a bit, which again normally happens around AF time. This usually happens every month when AF is due, I get sore breasts to let me know it's coming for me!!The wiring in my bra is digging in. No other symptoms as its 8dpo and early I guess to get any other symptoms!
Will keep you all informed.
Isn't the sunshine so uplifting!!!!

Oh and some cm today as well! But a small amount.

Sucha, thanks for the updated list hun.

Physics, good luck on the tww. The torture begins

Footprints thats a great idea, ((if only those men could agree to store in jars 😂))it would make life so much easier

Radders hope ov is right around the corner. Was your opk any darker?

Ov is fast approaching tee. Good luck hey.

Waves parney and spread.

Am at that stage of the cycle where pretty much nothing is happening. Nothing to symptom spot and no dragging dh to dtd lol
