So we're both due AF/BFP on same day confused :)

Jupiter and confused - fx for both you lovely ladies. I've got a good feeling there'll be good news coming our way very soon!! 🤞🏼

Thanks laura, that's really kind!! We shall see. Don't feel remotely pregnant but am only 4DPO so wouldn't really expect to either :)

Hi all, welcome to all newcomers!

Haven't had a chance to catch up yet, I've had a couple of hectic days at work and have fallen into bed almost as soon as I have got home! I just came on to ask a quick question. I'm not expecting to ovulate until CD16, but today I got a HUGE amount of EWCM on CD11. Does anyone else get EWCM prior to ovulation?! I normally only get the real stuff for a day or two then it goes watery. Sorry for the tmi just intrigued that I'm not at peak fertility yet getting all the signs! This ttc business is so confusing...

Hi Wiggley I got EWCM for 5/6 days this month before getting my peak and ovulating! Sometimes it's only a couple of days. Really does vary. We started DTD as soon as mine started (with a few days off). For most people the EWCM stops on the day of, or day after, actual ovulation so it's a good sign to start getting some sperm backed up :)

I'm gonna go ahead and not Google that! I'm wrecked this evening and DS is like a bag of cats so he must be tired too! Anybody watching anything good on Netflix? I need a new show, I'm nearly finished Jane the virgin which is like a stupid sitcom but it requires no brain power and its about a pregnant lady and it's funny so I'm enjoying it!

mummy not sure whats causing that, I guess could be ovulation starting to kick off? Such a mystery ttc!
wiggly I only get it just before ov, maybe you could be ovulating early, have u done an OPK to see?
jupiter and confused hoping you guys will continue the good luck on this thread! Ovia is always getting people to test things, she'll be suggesting I OPK tomorrow the day AF clears off! See how u feel, there might be something even earlier than that that's making you think you are pregnant! My af/test date of March seems like years away yet!

I think we've all been pretty knackered these past couple of days. Is it nearly the weekend yet? 🎉

Mrs C - I don't have Netflix as I have a fire stick that's been chipped so can watch just about anything and everything including all new films. Totally naughty but there's worse things going on in the world 😂 if you haven't already done so watch The Affair it's ridiculously good. I also watch 'Mistresses' which is American too. Both highly recommend if there on there. My friend said something about 'Scandal' but I haven't got round to watching that. I'm too busy in baby mode even tho I'm a little torn with pill mode now too haha

Okay that's good to know, Ovia is predicting my fertile week starts tomorrow so will start OPK-ing and see what's going on!

MrsC I've always wondered about Jane the Virgin. Part of my TTC addiction is watching programs about it and I recently what's 'Extraordinary births' on BBC iPlayer. It features a lady who had had a 'dolphin assisted birth' and claimed her newborn squeaked and clicked for a short period of time!

xlaura no judgement here, we also have a dodgy box that's gets us all the channels for free! I steal my sisters Netflix
wiggly Omg I've heard it all now! Dolphin assisted, images of dolphins dressed as midwives! Jane the virgin is veeery tongue in cheek, but it's light and an easy watch after a long day! Also I think bbc i player is what I miss most about when I lived in the UK, can't get it here and there is literally no way (legal or illegal) around it!

Mrs C - where do you live now? I do love a cheeky little free watch of something. Altho saying that, I'm going to watch 50 shades of Sex as my mother calls it on Friday. Our local cinema has all been done out with electric reclining leather chairs which only means the price you pay is ridiculous..a total £15 for a ticket ridiculous to be precise. I swear the cinema used to be £4 last time I went 😂

Where do you live mrsC?

Still in Italy. We fly back to Manchester on Friday morning and then on to Dubai that night. Skiing going ok. I fell pretty badly today and really hurt my arm/elbow. Thought it was broken at one point but I can move it so that's not too bad. Just quite sore! Last day skiing tomorrow so will see how I feel in the morning.

Oh I love Jane the virgin! Totally rubbish which just makes it amazing! Desperate to see the next series! I loved OITNB and fancy starting to watch Santa Clarita diet.
Omg mistresses!! Have you seen the last episode of the last series????? Was shocking! I need to find this extraordinary births!

Oh parsnips hope you feel better tomorrow and can enjoy your last day!

parsnips oh no you poor thing I hope you haven't done any damage! Are u staying long in Manchester, that's my old haunt, now in the west of Ireland which I love despite the lack of iplayer!
laura the cinema is so expensive I feel like I could have a posh diner out for the same price sometimes!

buzz I knew I couldn't be the only one, I only have a few episodes left before I finish it so I hope a new series comes soon!!

Omg Jupiter we can do this together! I really feel like i need the support this cycle! Lol... i got some FRER from boots on offer but i also have 5 ICs from that kit so i can poas those if i get a bit too excited lol... but we can make a pact not to test before17th if you like?

Ive been getting little bits of ewcm and am very wet down there for last 2 days... given that im 4dpo at most i'm not sure whats going on but it's like i've wet myself lol

Ooo Wiggley that program sounds amazing! I might have to give it a watch tonight!!

Good to hear you are ok Parsnips and btw i have broken my arm twice and been able to move it! If you are worried please get yourself checked out back home!

What sort of stuff do you like Mrs?

I must be the only person not desturbed by old blood stained EWCM lol.. i swear nothing fases me! Lol

confused you can do this! This is totally yours and jupiters month for sure!

You should wait for 17th, what have you got to distract yourself?

confused I'll watch a bit of anything, from narcos to pretty little liars, gossip girl, breaking bad, homeland..... Oh dear i sound like a TV addict! Currently watching Kirsty and Phil! Have you told ovia about the cm? Has she any pearls of wisdom?

Buzz honestly I was like wait what no... I'm still a little hurt that I don't have anymore episodes to watch tbh 😂 I was really bad. stopped watching all my soaps and recordings and did series 1 to the very end flat out for about 3 weeks I think. I also had 'The Affair' on the go too so I didn't really know what was going on in either by the end. On the plus side I did go back to 72 recordings on the TiVo box which was lovely. All of which still remain there, unwatched, bevause I watched 2 series of One Born Every Minute and cried at every single episode ☺️

🙋🏽 to Phil and Kirsty right now! Love all the houses in NI

confused I had the same cm 4dpo... no dea what it means though

laura it was like they thought, oh shit how are we gonna end this? Meh let's just do this sack of shit ending and make people deal with it!! 😂

Yeah they are lovely houses! I think that couple are gonna go for the style they like over space and DH thinks they are crazy because they have no garden he's a country boy through and through, we have more garden than house!

Buzz I couldn't believe it. I still wanna know who that 2nd Karen was tho? 😂 I recon it was her long lost sister or something. Wild imagination over here!!

I've decided to take the plunge and finish taking the pill at the end of this packet eeek!! Probably gonna regret that bad boy but it's worth a shot I spose isn't it?! Can't wait to be an absolute hormonal wreck and be like a fucking walking timebomb 🙄

How many dpo are you Buzz... you could give me hope!! Lol... i'm pretty sure i have dried up by now normally!! I literally have nothing lol i'm nannysitting this weekend again and im seeing SIL and my nephew... he's the cutest... but then from Mon-Fri nothing! And DH is in a stroppy mood due to lack of nicotine so it's not looking great! Lol

I tell Ovia everything Mrs but she never comes up with anything relevant! All she told me was are you sure ur not still in FW... but no i'm deffo 4dpo and this is different to EWCM!!! Lol she frustrates me

Laura i binged the first 6 series of OBEM

confused she does my head in too, I could tell her I'm blowing bubble out of my eyelids and she would tell me lots of women report this during their period!

What about valentines cobfused then it will only be 3 days after that? I'm 9dpo, 3 days to test... feeling less and less like it's happened at the mo though.
Ovia is a bitch. I don't like her at the moment, it's a bit of a love hate relationship though.
