Welcome to thread 5 my lovelies! You are a chatty bunch

If you are a lurker (we know you are out there) then it's time to jump in and say hi we don't bite...honest

We've had a bit of a bfp success streak so let's continue that on into thread 5!!

BoBo - how did the GP appointment go yesterday?

Oaty you make a very good point there! Maybe I should build up my pain threshold now so labour is a breeze (yeah right!)

Oh kaisha (sorry I autocorrected your name earlier lol) that sounds utterly shit. I used to puke, have cold sweats and the shakes with my AF in my teens. You can imagine I'm reaaaaally looking forward to that hahahaha

That's alright Mouse - I actually hadn't noticed! Definitely make sure you have a stock of pain killers at home and in your bag for when it happens. I'm definitely hitting the daily max allowance of ibuprofen. And chocolate

Welcome newbies 😊

Sorry af is being such a bitch for you Kaisha 🍷🍫💊

Ahhh hit post to soon 😣

Luci it went well thanks! He referred me to the midwife and for a scan as I said I wasn't sure how far along I was 😆 Felt a bit bad after but the midwife called today and I told her I was probably about 5/6 weeks and she said until the scan they go by cd1 which on paper makes me 10 weeks! (It's fun to think I'm 10 weeks but it will soon be changed back to 5 😆)
So I have my booking in appointment on the 18th and a scan date should come through in the next 2-3 weeks! I'm hoping when I see my little bambino it will feel real at last 😍 I hope you ov soon hun!

As always I have my fx for you all my lovelies!! xxx

Haha... You can sit there and say 'I told you so' when you're at the scan! 😁

Glad you're all good tho. X

Ah kaisha I was told to not take ibuprofen whist TTC so I've switched to paracetamol. I'm not sure how true it is. I'm stocked up. Horrible isn't it.

Mouse I didn't know that Paracetamol does help me at all so I don't bother taking it anymore. I don't think I will be able to get through this af week without ibuprofen

I've been doing opks the last few days and getting pretty clear negatives... Woke up this morning and did one and got this! I didn't even see a slight increase or anything. Massive negative to a massive positive! I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend 😉

My boobs started hurting yesterday and that's what I got when I ov'd last month so think that's my sign.

Do you think I should stop Agnus Catsus now?

Kaisha I wouldn't even bother during AF to listen to anything. Take the ibuprofen!! Lots of it!! I will be doing!!

Morning ladies:). Hope you're all ok.

kaisha I always think that too... if I can't cope now there's no way I'm getting through labour! I used to roll around in agony thinking I would be sick from the pain. Ibuprofen is dangerous when pregnant which is why it's best avoided when ttc just in case but if you've got AF and no you're definitely not pg then take it, you'll be fine.

Yay for opk luci! Have a fun weekend! Yes I'd stop the ac now.

Morning ladies. Bit of a random question for you. Ive woken up this morning with a hormonal headache (I had plenty to drink yesterday and no changes in the amount of caffeine) but today is my cd 7 and my period ended spotting yesterday. Has anyone else ever had these sort of headaches at random times in the cycle?

Thanks Moonlight!

Sorry Bassett, no experience of those. Only when af is due really...maybe just hormones?

I took AC before even doing the opk this morning, so between now and next af or bfp (pls pls pls!!) I won't take any more. Worked wonders shortening my cycle tho, last one was 52 days and I ov'd around cd 38. This time I'm ov around cd 15-16, so looking like a pretty normal cycle length 👍🏻 so pleased!

Kaisha - hope your feeling a bit better today girl and looking fw to starting a fresh cycle!

Bobo - any preggo symptoms yet?

My withdrawal bleed finally arrived today so I'm officially on CD1 temp has shot up this morning though from 36.38 to 36.56.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and lots of DTD!

Well done on the withdrawal MrsG!

Just did another opk to be sure and it's even better than this mornings one! I'm excited! 😁

Top one is this morning and bottom one is about 15 mins ago!

They're impressive Luci looks like you'll ovulate soon!

Quick question - ovia is telling me to test tomorrow, it's quite early as AF not due til wednesday/Thursday. I don't really want to splash out on too many frer, so what other ones would you recommend for testing so early?

Ovia always says to test early the bitch! I'dwait as long as you can! (Easier said than done)

The first response ones are good with the pink dye. I would avoid blue dye ones.

Hoping to dtd tonight and tomorrow night to catch my egg! Fx! The last time we dtd was Wednesday so don't think that one counts, was still in my fertile week tho.

Thanks luci, I'm away for the weekend so won't be going shopping until at least Monday evening anyway so I'll have to wait until then!
Glad to hear you're ov'ing, sending lots of luck your way!

Oooh go Luci... You're doing a fab job.

Day 85 here, still nothing. Been so busy with work tho haven't really been taking care of myself properly which probably isn't helping the situation. Skipping breakfast, then not having time for lunch so not eating all day or getting home late and can't be bothered doing tea, so just go to bed (only wish it would make me thinner!)

We're only managing to dtd once a week at the moment but it doesn't matter anyway!!

DH said enough was enough the other night so I have freed up my Tuesday evenings and dropped some commitments I had coming up in December which has lifted a weight off my shoulders.

Had a cold lingering all week so today's plan is to get on the couch with a duvet, hot chocolate, star trek and crochet allllll day. I might even push the boat out and put the central heating on.... 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Wow Seven, that is a long cycle!! You should try the agnus castus, seems to have done the trick for me on bringing the cycle length down.

Did another opk this morning and it's still positive, not as much as the second one I did yesterday as that was so dark, but still clearly positive...so will try and bd tonight and tomorrow. I reckon the surge will be on its way down now. Might do another one this evening to make sure. We bd yesterday tho so Defo got one in there before ov!

Your Sunday sounds amazing! I just put my heating on 🙈 Just for an hour!

Hi lucie I've been taking AC this cycle too and it's also worked wonders for me!!! I was having between 40-50 day cycles and ov on day 31 but I got a surprise positive on OPKS on Wednesday & Thursday which was CD14 & 15. Couldn't believe it!! Looks exactly like yours!! Even if I don't catch this cycle I am so chuffed that the AC has worked to shorten them!!

It's amazing isn't it Happy! I'm over the moon with it! Like you say, even if I don't catch this month I'm just glad I haven't had another 52 day cycle! Fx crossed for us this cycle tho! X
