Radders I use loads. They have helped the last 8 weeks go super quickly! It's like feeding an obsession though.
Ovia pregnancy- love it! Information every day, size comparisons, weekly developmental reports.
The Bump- just size comparisons but it's lovely. Started off as a poppy seed/full stop now it's a lime! I love checking every weekend.
What to expect- amazing weekly videos.
I also check pregnancy.familyeducation.com website daily as it has a countdown and a day by day guide. Find an online due date calculator and enjoy!!
Hoping for more BFPs this week everybody! ❤️

Morning all
Hmmn jodders, that sounds promising. Fx you graduate soon

Yaay radders, glad line is getting darker. Hope the exciting news is sinking

Fx fx for you tee(aka tess) hope you are lucky too hun this cycle.

I'm struggling to do some conga shag jem painful knee, and at the wrong time aaa

Hie nim, good dtd there, oh must be having a good time. Now its the waiting game, good luck

You must be excited to get a new car Kate.how I wish I could change mine.

Ohh parney, you just made me want a bfp even more!! How are you dear and our baby?

Hope af stays away purple and footprints .we need more bfps here

Waves summer ,ps

Happy Friday my friends

That's a great set of dates there Nim! You've done what you can.
New car is always exciting Kate! We started to lease hire when DS was born, I like that you can budget the expense without worrying about unexpected repair cost etc, plus you can trade in for a new one every 3 years. We're due to go back in September, got a Qashqai last time, so thinking about whether to upgrade or change model. It's been very good to us, recommend it as a good solid family car! Do you have anything in mind?
Parney forgot to answer before, no not really feeling hot. Only thing I noticed when I got out of the shower yesterday was that the underneath of my boobs felt warm and a tiny bit swollen. I asked DH earlier in the week if my skin felt hot, to which he immediately replied 'stone cold'... doesn't sugar the pill that one, lol!! x

Mimi sorry about your knee!! No reverse cowgirl for you then x

CD1

AF arrived this morning at cd26. Good news is that it wasn't cd56! Feeling ok about it as holiday soon etc.. And I really think the once before ovulation wasn't enough.

The conga shag! Ooh ooh oooh come on and do the conga! Ha ha love it!

What have I missed?! What is the conga?!!

Sorry AF arrived Footprints but great that the drugs are doing their job to normalise your cycle!! You're well on track and can reward yourself with that drink now! x

PS, Jem's iPhone suggested she do a conga shag rather than an ovulation day bonus shag, and I think the general consensus is that's probably a much better idea

CD 2

Well, it's rather unexpected the new car, so trying to get reliable but cheap and cheerful! Very sad that my corsa is letting me down with masses of repair needed!!!

Looking at Hyundai i10 or i20, Skoda fabia, maybe fiesta? Up is also a possibility... Any other small cheap and cheerful suggestions? Must come in four doors and auto....

AF just being annoying and heavy (sorry tmi). Teaching reproduction at the moment to my year 7, which is super weird!! Well, weirder than normal! All of this stuff I've learned has helped my teaching I think!

Sorry about AF footprints, but yes a much better cycle length

Tee how are you feeling??

Kate my period is really heavy this month too and so painful! I'm curled up with a hot water bottle for the second night..

What have I missed? What's the conga?

Ah Jem & Kate, sorry you're suffering!
I'm feeling ok thanks Jem. No more cramps today and, so far, no visit from the dreaded AF. Was due today, but I have had the odd month where I'm a day longer, so I don't think I can really say I'm properly late until Sunday, hmmm, thinking I should hold out testing until then. I feel very borderline about whether it's going to happen for me this month! Moments of feeling very positive and hopeful, but then remember I could come on any minute. I'll be feeling very optimistic if still nothing by tomorrow evening x

Tee I can't believe how you're holding out so well!! I want you to POAS so much!

Footprints sorry AF got you but feel really chuffed for you that the cycle length was a lot shorter so hopefully this month will be the month with all being back to normal!

Talking about feeling hot - I have my shower super hot - half a turn more than OH and I've had to have it close to where he's had it past couple of days! I read before that this was a symptom. How strange.

Mimi ouch on the knee! But just lie horizontal and keep it out the way!

Thanks Parney I will have a look at those apps. I want one of those where you take a pic of your bump. I really want to document the change.

Jodders anymore spotting at all?

Thanks tee.super excited for you,hope the witch doesn't betray us again.

Sorry for af footprints .wishing you lots of luck next cycle (twins)

kate n jem ,sorry for the horrid and heavy af.I had that too this month, usually my af is 2days and light but it was pretty heavy and lasted 4 days so hoping its a sign that our bodies are finally ready for babies.

Tried the horizontal trick radders ,worked ,yay conga shag

Morning all and hello to unwelcome guest - cycle 8 - you absolute cow bag! GUTTED!
Arrived before I got in bed last night, so technically CD2, but I'm going to say CD1 do I don't feel at all 'late' next month if AF is coming.
Pretty down in the dumps right now. Only positive is that I can enjoy the spa I'm going to on Thursday a bit more, rather than avoid hot tub and sauna etc, but that's a very small consolation. So frustrated about how long this is taking!

Hugs tee
It is so frustrating. I have totally been through all the emotions from excited about poas to being so low when af shows. Now ,being cycle 13 I don't expect anything. I just know that l have to keep dtd as often as often as l can and maybe one of these days I'll be lucky.

Oh tee I'm so sorry to hear. I really had high hopes for you :(

We are definitely due more BFPs! This is not on!

However please all remain positive as you all still haven't been trying that long. My manager at work was saying she was trying for 2 years - this was like 30 years ago so different to now, no home opks or anything! Anyway she said she couldn't catch and after two years she thought right I'm going to go doctors must be something wrong. And that kind of made her relax because she thought it's not going to happen but will make appointment. And she caught that month!
So I do think any sort of stress or expectation impedes it. But it's so hard because that comes in turn with TTC.
Sending positive calming vibes everyone's way

Mimi glad you took part in a conga shag!

My stick is even darker today. Seems to be darkening now officially late. So feeling positive.

Does anyone know if I can start taking EPO again?? Xx

I don't think you should radders. Maybe look it up but if I'm not mistaken it is taken later in pregnancy to ripen cervix (for labour) and we don't want that hun.glad lines are getting darker, post picspics please(always motivating seeing bps)

EPO can cause uterine contractions - so don't do it!!!

What symptoms are you wanting to address? EPO is for more EWCM and to reduce period pains... you won't need either? Any others that it helps with??

Luckily since I had the copper coil out in Oct/ Nov? (wow can't even remember) AF has been two days medium/ heavy and then two days spotting. So really not so bad...

Mimi what are your strategies this month? Have you phone the GP? Are you going to?

Hie Kate,spoke to gp when I went with my knee problem. Because I already have kids, he doesn't seem worried and says it will happen if l relax(if ever that's possible).planning on making aptmnt with gynae monthend if nothing happens.

How are you ?and what is the strategy this cycle.

This mornings BFP attached mimi :)

I have taken EPO for a 3-4 years to help with acne when I came off the pill before - nothing to do with helping to conceive.
My acne cleared and in end I went back on pill but this time round not had spots so don't know if that's down to EPO. I've also had other benefits from it - hair growth, thickening etc Its just generally good for you rather than treating specific symptoms. My friends mum swears it got her through the menopause without any problems!
It was just a case of me wondering if could take it as I always have. I won't take it and will ask midwife if to start again. Thanks for advice.

CD2

Morning ladies.
AF heavy also and some horrendous cramps in the night.

Sorry Tee to hear AF arrived. I too thought it was going to be your month. At least u can look forward to the spa.
Frustrating I know and yes this is hard work too many things to get right. Why can't it just be easy?

Lovely bfp radders!!

Sorry for the painful period footprints, maybe this cycle brings lots of luck to all of us after not so great af.
