Urrrrggghhhh I'm heaving! Took a sip of my drink! felt something in my mouth! IT WAS A SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer -Spider in mouth.. Hmm hoping u got some good protein.
Was just thinking that your name summerblush sounds like a "my little pony"!

Hoping sore breasts it's a good symptom for u.

Weird as today I felt really off of my food and just fancy something fizzy. Diet Coke or something.. I'm a dpo behind u summer if I go by last ov attempt. My temp is still up at 36.48.

Bit nervous about gyne appt tomorrow. Wondering if I need to tidy up downstairs ? Hoping I get a scan and he says "oh my you have a little bean"?!

Well I'm usually due AF around the 10th of the month so we are still feeling a little hopeful over here! I tend to get sore boobs a lot around AF time. I got really excited about it when we first started TTC but now I think I can't really judge anything on that. Those two ladies seem to have a mind of their own sadly.

Footprints I wouldn't worry about tidying up too much downstairs.
It might ease you into what it might be like when baby comes, I doubt anyone is tidying up that much at that point. ;)

Hi all!! CD 25

Really sore boobs today, which I don't normally get! Lol at the leaky foof I've started doing pelvic floor exercises after DTD and it seems to help with leakage.

Welcome ima we started TTC in Jan too, good luck!

I'll be testing on the 17th, feel like we've done everything we can but don't want to get my hopes up too much! Got my Brazil nuts today, not walnuts ha ha

Footprints I'm still not over my very intimate encounter with the spider!!! :-( I hope you get good news, keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you!!! :-)xx

CD13 and EWCM is here in force!

Just had a lovely work out in Regents Park run by my energetic colleague. Feeling inspired working out in the late afternoon sun under the trees!

jodders I'll adjust your dates. Hope AF clears off for a lovely new cycle

summer the sun is SO uplifting!

Good luck with the gynae footprints let us know how you get on! Really hope you are upduffed!

Sucha if I could like your post I would :-)
More sun this week ladies!!

Cd 12

Evening everybody! I've attached my opk photo from this evening. Definitely darker, yay. Think I would probably get a darker one than that.. Will do another in the morning but hopefully ovulation is imminent as then it means I've ovulated earlier than last month. Looking forward to See what bbt tells me too.

After saying I never get sore boobs they've felt heavy and tender today! Not loads but noticed a difference when walking. Maybe ovulation symptom for me.
Footprints I didn't have any symptoms other than being emotional and thick creamy CM.

So far we have dtd cd 5,9 and 10. Will do it tonight then see what opk says tomorrow to see when doing it next. Prob do it everyday for 3-4 days now.

Some people use that turkey baster method and have success with it don't they! I don't get how it goes in far enough ... Because obviously there's a bit of oomph when they're inside you wish you wouldn't get would you??

I think before I go into labour I would like to go for a wax ... Is that ridiculous?!

Feeling so positive for everybody this month xxx

Radders; get on it!!
I agree, if turkey baster was a likely success, I would be so on it! I would take the friggin baster to work in my handbag!!!
Yes, I would go for a wax too although I would be more worried if pooping myself!!!!

Looking good radders, agree it could go even stronger but a sure sign to crack on with the DTD for a few days.

My best mate is a trainee obs and gynae doctor and said whilst it doesn't bother her at all if women don't wax, she personally would have a tidy up wax before any kind of nether region inspection.

Just personal choice really. I would but also have a tidy up done, but equally would not want to be Hollywood / bald style.

Jem are you doing opks or not?.. Can't remember sorry xx

CD11
Evening all!
Summer! Spider in mouth.... Blurgh!!
Hope you are over your trauma!
Footprints I would personally tidy up, as I did before labour too, but I'm sure the gyne has seen it all!! How amazing would it be if there was a little bean!!
Ima Not long for you now, exciting!!
Racja Good that you're feeling something that's unusual for you, let's hope it's an early sign! Good tip about doing pelvic floor after DTD, wouldn't have occurred to me to do that! Well done buying the right nuts this time, lol!
Jem Yay for EWCM! Pin that DH down tonight if you can! I've never been jealous of someone's workout, but Regents Park + sunshine + trees sounds truly delightful!
Radders The opk's looking good, as do your DTD dates. My money's on a temp rise Friday morning for you

My opk had a faint line today, I usually get a peak CD12, so we'll see what tomorrow brings! DH seems so stand-offish this week, still suffering with his foot and all down in the dumps. So hard to get someone in the mood when they're all snappy. Sent him some naughty pics while he was at work in the hopes of loosening him up!

I am radders - no sign of a positive yet but only got round to doing one stick today. Will aim for two tomorrow

Nice work tee that should help him get over his injury

So my boobs are feeling heavy and then I just had a big bit of thick creamy CM appear in my knickers ... So what do I do ... Think maybe I'm still pregnant....!

.. On a serious note, I don't think that, but I wonder if there are any people who misdiagnose themselves as having a CP but then are still pregnant??

Footprints looking forward to seeing what gyno says tomorrow. Will be a lesson for us all I'm sure!

Tee hope your Oh feels better soon so you can get down to it. He doesn't need to use his foot when dtd :)

Anyone else watching OBeM?

Haha, this is true Radders, but he goes into such a sulk about it, he almost seems unapproachable!
OBEM being recorded and will watch in peace tomorrow when I have a nice afternoon to myself

Have you re-tested since your bleed??

No not retested. I did clearblue and FRER on the Friday and they came back negative then started bleeding early hours of the morning. Although it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and didn't last very long... More brown spotting after a couple of days.

Did you retest after yours to double check??

I would've had positive opks before and it's such a coincidence it's positive today when ovulation is due. Also my temperature has been low whereas it would've stayed high if was still pregnant. So I know I'm not!

Yes I tested negative quite quickly after the bleed
Let's hope the gyno can shed some light for you tomorrow! x

Morning all! Cd 25 6dpo.

All's quiet after my cystitis incident, though I do think the antibiotics gave me a mind case of thrush (yay!) which is subsiding.

Good luck footprints I am sure it will be fine - they've seen it all before, even if we haven't experienced it all before!

Good luck radders with the dtd and (nearly) positive opk!

CD12
Morning!
Physics glad the cystitis is clearing... but now thrush? Lesser of 2 evils probably?
Well I'm fed up with DH! Wouldn't give it up last night he's now talking about a bad back!! Really? He's booked in a session at the driving range tonight tho! Hmmm, really feel like he's avoiding me/it. I left him alone the night before as he seemed pretty unapproachable. Now we've only DTD Monday within FW(ish) and I think I'm ovulating tomorrow. If he's 'too tired' after the range tonight, think we're pretty screwed for this cycle (for those who heard me talk about pink sway know I avoid OD). We're going for a spa break tomorrow, but it's not going to be much fun if I'm livid with him. He'll probably show an interest the second my egg dies off! Sorry for the rant but I'm so upset as I'd been feeling so happy and positive about this month, and made such an effort with my diet!!
Jem/Radders and anyone else in FW, hope your mr's are being more cooperative! x

CD14

Morning girls

Oh tee that's not fair of your oh can you have a serious chat with him and let him know how important this is to you? Remind him how disappointed and upset you'll be if your period comes in a few weeks.

Luckily DH is back on track with it all. I usually ovulate on CD15 and we have DTD days 12+13 so far. Will keep going this week and over the weekend.

These chaps don't make it easy do they? Added loops in the ttc roller coaster

I'm paranoid about peeing after DTD now. I always need to go straight away. Do you think it actually makes a different if you wait?

It's so frustrating Jem, we're chatting over whatsapp about it now, but it can be a vicious cycle; if I get too stroppy about it and tell him just to bloody get on it (which I so want to do!) or make too much of a 'thing' of it, worried it'll just put him off more. But I'm at a stage where I just want to say we HAVE to do it tonight or we're out again, but is that putting the pressure on too much? If I try the subtle approach again, there's a fair chance he'll make excuses again.
He's telling me I'm being daft and shouldn't be annoyed about it.

I tend to try and stay horizontal for at least 10mins after DTD, and even wait till the morning on the odd occasion if I can. Having said that, I've read that the good swimmers will be long gone by the time you make it to the loo. I just think it can't hurt to help prevent gravity working against them. Glad your DH is onboard with the plan! I'm tempted to relegate mine from DH to just H!

We're cooking with gas!

CD 34 with random dpo's!!

Hi to everyone.
Thanks for all your good wishes for today. Im leaving at 1pm and an v nervous. Feeling queasy but think it's nerves. I've had 2 children but still don't like personal invasions in my bits!

Had tummy ache too which feels like AF, it would be so typical it would come when I get there! this morning was first big temp dip in 20 days! Right on coverline. So am worried AF is coming eventually!

I cracked up reading that tee! Funny as last week I thought the same when I typed DH, we had a ding dong about something and would rather have typed something other than DH!! . Sorry to hear he's not playing ball. Maybe he needs a kick in the other foot to make him see u mean business
Maybe tie him up and jump him! Ha ha or maybe wait til he's asleep and work work work into a jar and dig out the turkey baster

Jem- think if u can hold on for at least 30 mins that should get the swimmers swimming before u go to the loo.

Physics- glad you are feeling better-at least u have a bit of time to recoup before fw again.

So stats for today so far are-
Poas IC- bfn (wanted to check before saw doc), opk - neg too. So not a lot happening today so far. Will update u all later. Bye bye dear friends xx
