Nope I work in marketing radders

There are a few teachers on this group though I think

Ah yea I thought you were one of the teachers!

I'm trying to stay calm at work. It's better at the minute anyway but will feel even better if I know I only have 9 months! Xx

Radders- sounds like a good sign to me. Mine was more clear but lots of it. Hard to tell on the tp! Don't get much time to investigate further up without boys bustling in the bathroom. You sure all your cm is not overflow of sperm? you did get your gold star too for effort maybe the tank was full up? Hee hee X

Summer /physic just checking up on my hopefully BFP buddies this week. Anything else to report. Nothing from me, opk neg (thank goodness after marathon of positives this month). No AF show, really thought she was coming yesterday. But wet down there, clear cm only though.

Had dream about getting a BFP last night it was on a test where it comes up as a cross? So wondering if I should hunt these tests down? Any ideas? Think the FRER is two single lines?

Mimi- was it AF? How u feeling today?

Footprints; nada - nothing!!! Did a cheapie today and it was a bfn! I'm just going to super prepare for next cycle!!! Let's hope it's the one!! Still bloated and booby ache but that's my pre-menstrual symptoms. Told you, Aunt Flo not happy with me for trying to cut her off for 9 months! She's being a pain!!

Ahh summer - really frustrating isn't it! I just want something to happen. Just waiting around now. Twiddling thumbs.

Ladies- just looking at a chart online where quite a few people have fallen pregnant and they were eating Brazil nuts and strangely.. Kiwi fruit. The kiwi fruit was eaten up to ovulation, Brazil nuts were every day! Just googled kiwi fruit benefits and it has loads of success stories. Let's get on it ladies

Footprints haha if my oH sperm looked like the Cm I'm producing I would be sending him off to the doctors believe me!

Kiwi fruit ... Another one to add to the list then xx

Good to know about kiwi footprints! Thanks for the tip! I'm feeling AF twinges now.

Kiwi for post lunch snack ✅

FRER is two lines foot, not sure what yields a cross, maybe clear blue?

Just a little daydream-when we-are-pregnant thought... How long would you wait to tell people? Who would you tell first? Would you find out the sex?

Kiwifruit. Hmm, have to buy some. I'm CD 11 and waiting for fw. Think it's this weekend. OPKs all negative and no cm to speak of.

Jem,

I'll tell Dh straight away but wait a bit to tell my parents, maybe 6-8 weeks. Work I'll have to think about. Probably a bit later.

Jem- I'd tell family and close friends straight away, as if something happened I could rely on them for support. Other friends after 13w scan. I'm my own boss so don't need to worry about work.
Yes would find out sex, didn't with boys but this time would like to b prepared. Wouldn't tell anyone though.. Keep it as surprise!
I'd tell you ladies straight away all of it!!

Nim- get on the kiwi quick!!

Oooo kiwis, I have those in too! Will make me a little pineapple kiwi salad in a bit!
Footprints Clearblue have a cross!
Jem Will tell close family and close friends as I see them after a positive test. Can't wait to tell work at 12 weeks! I'm freelancing at the moment, so it will be a relief to be able to share my genuine plans going forward with them. Defo find out sex, I'm too much of a planner! x

Hi radders - it fell to 36.51 from 36.56 yesterday. It was 36.7 the day before...
It is still above coverline (36.41) footprints. I've got clear to creamy CM too, but have always had that before AF in previous cycles too.

I think I would wait to tell anyone other than OH as long as possible... probably after 12 week scan. Work might be a bit tricky, but luckily I'm not a chemist! Only the solid borax that I need to worry about - and that's only two practicals a year!

I've had some twinges today but I think these are AF cramps. I got so used to being completely doubled up in agony with the copper coil (codeine would barely touch it) that I barely notice these....

Think AF is here!! Went toilet and saw traces! she's early!

Footprints when is your AF due? Just wondering whether you've tested early? Would have loved to be BFP buddies!!

ni same as you - DH first and then later parents. What about parents in law though? I think my DH would want to tell them at same time. And then telling them means telling his brothers and aunts uncles grandparents I think!

footprints oh yes you guys straight after DH I wouldn't find out the sex but it'll be our first so not fussed either way.

tee I would try and get to 12 weeks before work too if I can

summer really hope it's not xx

I'm CD20 today and 5 DPO. Nothing of note to report. Had a bit of a stabbing feeling in lower abdomen in a meeting earlier, a bit of backache and I'm seriously tired - but I've had all of these on previous cycles.

I think really for me now it would take strong nausea or metallic taste to convince me that I might actually be preggo. All this other shit is just too wishy washy

Jem I only ever do tests with OH with me so he will know same time as me.
I will wait until about 6/7 weeks as we are going to pay for an early scan then will tell our parents. I have a couple of friends who know we are ttc so they will prob guess. Everyone else after 12 week scan. Oh I will tell my manager and hr because they have to let you go for doctors appointments etc. My manager knows my plans anyway... We have a good relationship.

I always thought I wouldn't find out the sex but now i think we will. I actually post d on the pregnancy thread about it a while back and it swayed me otherwise.

Jem I have such similar symptoms. Tired, although not as bad tonight actually. Had some tummy cramps today, lots of cm but nothing I would say screams pregnant. Also it's way too early for symptoms so know straight away its nothing to do with that!

Summer really hope it's not, what's the latest? Have you done the finger trick?

Mimi has yours stopped or got heavier or anything?

Jod remember you said about the bum situation well tmi but I've noticed mine gets a little sore in lp! Like a little itch and so you scratch a little and it makes it worse. Argh. Did yours just clear up?

Physics that temp drop is nothing really so don't like into it too much. Mine keeps going up and dropping like that. Highest it has been is 36.37 I think it is. Not even gone into the 4s!

Nim hopefully you will have your positive opks soon! Any ideas when you normally ovulate?

Oh Summer I hope not! Keep us updated.
Jem/Radders no real tiredness or CM my side Getting lots of twinges and waves of crampy-ness down there tho, but as you say, all so wishy washy I wouldn't get excited. Only thing that'll make me feel really optimistic is if my skin starts to feel particularly hot. It was the clearest sign I had with DS, even DH agreed. Practically every month I ask him if I feel hot, and he gives me a very blunt "No!", so the day he changes his tune on that, I will be a very happy bunny!!

CD 11 Hi all, eventful day will try to address everyone....

Radders it did go away and yes it was like an itchy feeling - I think it was from too much DTD lol! I just put cream on it after every bathroom visit.

Sucha I hope the stabby feelings are a little bean settling in!

Summer is it definitely AF? Update needed!

Physics I think your symptoms sound promising! Don't worry about the temp drop it doesn't sound like much of a drop.

Nim I did an OPK today and it's a bit lighter than yesterday's.

Sucha I don't plan to tell anyone until I'm about 6weeks. This time o would like to keep it quiet for as long as I could. Family 12 weeks and other people as I see them.

Footprints I have been been eating 2-4 Brazil nuts daily. If I don't get a BFP This month I will start on the kiwi next month.

Tee been doing the OPKS for three days now.

How are our graduates doing?

Here's today's OPK taken at 12:30.
Looks a bit lighter than yesterday's I think. I'm starting to feel a little bit frisky (good sign!) will be able to DTD tomorrow - Sunday whoop!! Let's hope I ovulate in that time!
I'm very bloated and gassy today!

Radders with you on the test rule - would only do it with DH around too

I am soooooooo grumpy moody short tempered tonight poor DH is at the sharp end of it

What's worse is this is textbook PMS for me Why can't I get pregnant???

CD40 13dpo

Tee - great clearblue it is! know it's only a dream but u never know.

Summer- is it AF? hope it's not. Really wanted you to get a BFP X hope you are ok? Are you just spotting or def AF? Could be late implantation?

AF is due now really. Usually between 12-14 days after ov. I'll be 14dpo tomorrow.
Weird thing is the cramps have disappeared- hoping they stay away. I'm holding out until I break as I'm not 100% sure what is going on this cycle. My boobs feel absolutely fine, to my disappointment. Wish I had big boobs!! I'm really not feeling pregnant - just a bit off of food. Which could be down to AF arriving soon?

Mimi- how you doing?

Physics- my coverline is a lot lower than yours.. But everyone's will vary. That drop is nothing! So don't worry about that. Mine dipped yesterday and shot back up today.

Cd2210dpo

Good evening my friends .
Sorry my phone was playing tricks and failed to post earlier. The brown spotting has since stopped,the cramps have eased off too, so I guess for now I'm back in the rat race

Footprints, thanks for thinking of me and also for the kiwi tip. A new on top of the list item for next cycle. Fx crossed tmrw you get your dfp hun, fx!

Ohh jem, poor OH but it's the only time you can give it to them and get away with it .the moodiness could easily be early pregnancy fx.
