Oh no buzz I'm sorry! Here's to next cycle be kind to yourself this weekend x

red me and my oh dont drink at all either that's why we dont bother getting it. Never knew you could have it with soft drinks. Although work is stressing me out so I have sunk a bottle of Rose this week and it felt so good haha!

mrsc Ive only had mine from when I moved in which was 14 months ago. I get bored easily of things very easily so Ive opted for a similar sofa, just a foot bigger and a darker colour.

Went into my front spare bedroom last night which will be the nursery one day if we dont sell it prior and our plastering is shite! We made the mistake of moving into a newbuild in December 2015 and its so crap and I wish we never moved into it. Needless to say its been on the market since December so I'm hoping we can get it sold and move into our new home before I fall pregnant and lo arrives. Somehow I think I'm asking for a miracle tho...

Mummy Yeh i did have a positive OPK on 25th Jan but we didn't DTD much at all, it was all around the time i was explaining to DP what a positive OPK meant, he was adamant that you can get pregnant any time in between periods and that it wasn't crucial that week. He then went away and researched it himself & understands now... (Because i couldn't possibly be right, could I? ) His 2 younger brothers have 3 unplanned children between them so he can't believe how 'unlucky' they were for that to happen (obviously not unhappy now babies are here!)

Oh no Buzz that#s poop, but you're close in cycle to myself & Parsnips we can do this together

Red I udnerstand your pain DH did the same to me this month.

So last night I went to be with a really weird pain in my right uterus/Ovary area... I am trying to pretend it would never be a symptom. I also slept straight through both alarms this morning and I NEVER do that!

I am sorry/excited about all the AF's and OPKs today!

Jupier how is my cyclebuddy holding up?

Don't count yourself out yet wither Buzz some people spot and still get BFP!

Oh also we need to celebrate this thread being on the front page of mumsnet when I just logged on!!

So if you had a positive OPK on 25th Jan red you have a 16 day luteal phase which is not supposed to change. So when you ovulate next your BFP would be due 16days later..... apparently.

Sorry to hear that buzz, but onwards to the next cycle :) Are you doing anything nice this weekend?

confused I'm bearing up okay thanks lovely, low level cramping and nausea today but doubt that is preg related as only 6DPO! Completely exhausted all week but maybe because of work. Going to have full on pampering relaxation session tonight as DH going out. Your cramping and exhaustion is hopeful though!! What DPO are you now? Couldn't remember if we were the same despite having same AF due date!

Yay to being on the front page!

Ohhh thanks mummy very interesting, lets see how it pans out!

Oh were we confused ? My short cut sends me straight to 'talk' But i will have anyway!

Oh and Hb hope you're having a lovely cuddly time!

It could be Jupiter everyone is different so the hormones could be making you feel sick! Or it could be a rise in bbt making you feel ill!... how are you going to oamper yourself?... i am going for a massage tomorrow afternoon which i know isnt really advised but surely if before/during implantation it cant make much of a difference!

I think i ov'd sat but could have been sunday latest... so 5/6dpo but opks on Sun were -ve which makes me think probs saturday.

Yeah it was so cool seeing us there!!

Ohhh a massage sounds amazing confused, can't believe that it would be a problem at this stage!

My friend had a body shop party last week so all my products arrived today (body scrub, lotion and things) so going to have a full on session, watch a trashy film and maybe a take away. Need some pampering in the 2ww.

Wow we ovulated on the same date too - proper cycle twins! FX for us both :)

My pelvic pain is still there but settling down now so guessing I might have ovulated now 😃 I'll do an OPK tomorrow and keep temping! Or at least making a half arsed attempt at temping.

A pamper sesh sounds amazing jupiter I would love to do that tonight but work is looming 😩

Confused I am very jealous of your massage! I might book one for half term.

I am definitely ovulating imminently! Have that a dull ache all day and last hour it's been ramped up a gear and it's now going down my right leg. Does anyone else get this? It makes me very excited, although frustrated that another egg is being wasted this month.

Wiggles I get little flashes of pain down my thigh too when I ovulate. It's such a weird thing really isn't it! Exciting though that you know it's all working down there, whether or not you're using the egg or not :)

Just bought a stack of cheapo opks from Wilkos. Flying back to Dubai this eve 🌴 will be glad of a bit of heat!

parsnips safe flight and enjoy the heat, it's baltic here today!
Oooo I'm jel of all the pampering going on, I've just done the food shop, worst job ever!!! Can't wait to relax this evening..... Jamie dornan is on Graham Norton tonight 😍 😍
A lot of ovulating going on today girls, very exciting!

Hi ladies wow lots to catch up on!

I'm very tired after my drinking episode earlier this week but happy to report that DH & I DTD last night and fertile window could be now/soon (Ovia says it's not for another 3 days but I'm already on CD11 so who knows). OPK yesterday eve was negative but I'll do them daily now until I get a positive.

I actually way prefer this part of the cycle! You can actually get on with your life; rather than obsess and symptom spot waiting for AF!

Also happy to report I got a pay rise at work so treated myself to lots of lovely new clothes feeling a bit guilty from Net A Porter and I'm getting my nails done tomorrow as I'm sick of looking scruffy!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend xx

Lots to catch up on today ladies.

I've just been and watched Fifty Shades of Sex (just want I want when all I'm thinking of is baby making haha!) oh my sweet Jesus lord if anybody hasn't watched it I deffo recommend it. I'm now going in the shower to shave my legs and hopefully dtd 😏 hehe. Hope everybody who is due positive OPKs, and are testing get there BFP over the weekend.

Good luck ladies xxx

Hello! Will catch up tomorrow :) currently in a salsa bar, drinking lots of tequila thinking about being child free with bitter sweet AFs arrival.

Here's to tomorrow's hangover!!

Oooh buzz I hope it's not too bad.

Af is really light these days. I feel a bit broken still.

Off to work this morning. Only gonna do Saturdays for next half term as I'm knackered doing 6 days a week! DH is sad cos he never sees me! So need to fix it!

buzz a salsa bar sounds like a right laugh!!

seven I'm trying to drag myself out of bed for work too! 6 days is definitely one too many😳

Have amazing weekends girlies!

buzz hope you had an amazing time! Tequila is definitely a perk of
un-duffed upness

laura hope 50 shades got you in the mood for DTD!!

I loved my pampering evening, feeling very silky and smooth this morning haha. 7DPO and zero symptoms but that's okay. Off to our posh Suffolk hotel next weekend and much wine will be had if AF comes on Friday as planned.

confused any symptoms your end?

grumpy can't resist a bit of retail therapy!!

To all those on their way to work hope it's not too painful! Roll on Sunday x

Morning girls, u knew this was coming but I've woken up with a headcold! I have been sick with this three times since Christmas 😡 I thought my vitamin c guzzling would have kept it away!
jupiter nice to have something to look forward too, hopefully though you'll have to pass on the wine!
grumpy enjoy the nails! Congratulations on the payrise!
Hope the day passes quickly for those who are working, I'm going to go walking now with my mum then having dinner for a friend's birthday later.
Enjoy the weekend everyone

Just got into bed post night shift.. nothing better than a post night sleep 😍
1dpo today. Did an OPK was very negative although I'm still having EWCM 🤔
grumpy a pay rise sounds ace! I'm very jealous

Morning everyone! Would you say this is a positive OPK? If so, Ovia strikes again by guessing my ovulation date wrong by two days. CD14 here and for all newbies I have included yesterdays pm opk (top) to show you can go from nothing to positive over night!
