Ohhh feel better soon MrsC. Have a lovely fresh walk with your mum!

Mummy enjoy your well earned sleep!! I think I read that although most women's EWCM stops on day of ovulation, there is some % that have it the day after too so not totally out of the norm.

Wiggley they look positive to me but you might need to rely on more of an expert as I use the smiley face ones haha.

Definitely looks positive to me Wiggley. FXLO (Fingers crossed, legs open)

DD is going through a real clingy phase atm and it's exhausting. Finally managed to get her to nap on my bed by lying down with her until she's sound asleep. She just wants me to hold her all the time, reaching her arms up for me whenever I put her down. Poor little thing.

Hello ladies! Back in Dubai now. Just had a little disco nap as we have been on the go since 3am U.K. time on Friday non stop. Had a cheeky weigh in and reckon i've put on 2.5/3lbs. (It was a 5lb gain before I had the nap 😱😱😱) Not too bad for a week of melted cheese and wine I guess! I'm hoping it will go down after AF too.

Don't panic yet Parsnips! I always retain water when I fly, think it's something to do with the altitude...I get really puffy ankles my point is, this could be water weight from your flight. You might see it drop off over the next couple of days!

wiggly looks like a positive to me! Go for it!
Walk did me good, beautiful sunny crisp day here, although feeling like my head will explode again now!
parsnips could def be the travel, give yourself another day or two and weigh again!
oyster naww your poor DD, sometimes all they want is their mama

wiggly looks positive to me! OPK definitely do change overnight. I had very negative to positive over night and positive to very negative over night!

Wiggley you've motivated me to move to twice daily OPKs from tomorrow I think - I'm CD12 and negative OPK this morning.

We DTD last night which is exciting! I can't believe I could get pregnant this month!

Thanks for all the congrats it's a relief and I'm grateful to have such a good job (despite corporate hell sometimes) as it's enabling us to finally do things like do up our house and of course be ready to bring a second child into the world!

Feeling happy and motivated today!

So you assume ovulation the day AFTER a positive OPK right?

Yep that's right squirrel. Here's a list of my symptoms this month:
CD12 - EWCM
CD13 - Ovulation pain
CD14 - Positive OPK

I imagine I will release an egg today and be done by tomorrow night!

Thanks wiggley! You aren't trying till may though right? Or what is the DTD situation your end?

Hey ladies!

Great to see some +ve OPKs today!! Lots of people on a shaggathon atm!

Jupiter how is your cycle going buddy? My symptoms so far are rock hard stomach and really heavy feeling boobs when i layed down for the massage earlier!

Grumpy i am totally freaking out at the thought that this month i could be pregnant!

Currently i am still nannysitting and it is slowly draining the life from me! I also had to rush my dog to the vegs for an ear infection (i actually think its harder to treat them than a child 😞) and found out he might have bone cancer... hes 11 so he would be too old for an operation meaning he would be pit to sleep... its a sadweekend in the confused nans household! (Although me and DH have not told anyone yet just incase he is fine)

Confused I'm so sorry. Really hoping he is fine after all. 💐

confused so sorry to hear about your doggy.. Hope you're okay! Fingers crossed it's something else! I'm bearing up thank you, have felt exhausted the last couple of days and boobs little bit sore on the sides (not sure what that's about - maybe too much poking!) but otherwise normal. Your heavy feelings boobs sound promising. Was the massage lovely?

How are you getting on dancing?

MrsC is your head okay? Glad you had a lovely time :)

Grumpy it's so exciting isn't it, so pleased you're in a good place - FX for you this month!!

Sorry to hear about your dog confused hopefully it's not as bad as they think.

I'm trying to be relaxed throughout this 2WW however I know by mid week I'll be symptom spotting all over the place. I feel positive about this cycle but I did last month aswell. I wish we didn't have to wait so long!! And I'm lucky my luteal phase is only 12days!!

Well not lucky as it would be better to be 14days but lucky I don't have to wait to long

Hi all!

So sorry to hear about the doggy confused I hope he'll be okay.
Congrats on the pay rise and the positive opks! Hope everyone's dtd tonight!

I had wayyyyyy too much to drink last night! I too am looking forward to not drinking! I have spent most of today asleep or eating a massive dominoes and generally feeling sorry for myself 😂 Going for a carvery tomorrow which will be amazing and then new start on Monday, diet in full swing and get my getting ready for the baby challenge back on track!

Hope everyone's had a good Saturday :)

Oh no confused that's awful. I hope he's okay

Great on all the +ve opks, there will be a BFP or two along this cycle I reckon!

I found out a friend is expecting today. Secretly got excited thinking hopefully I'll be expecting too before she has it!!

Suddenly very emotional and weepy as my DD is so big now practically teenage! She's so lovely. Sobbing like a knob. Thanks natural hormones?? I was so stable on the pill! Lol. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. CD13 tomorrow eep!!

Thanks ladies... i'm just annoyed because he was under the care of my cousin who was meant to be doing a good job. Now we have him back and its clear he was not a priority

Is it just the sides hurting or like your nipples too?... ive never been so aware of my boobs before! Lol but they arn't tiny (32DD) but they are very there lol

Awhh Grumpy thats lovely you find yourself so emotional about her growing up!

Me and my little sister have been baking this evening... we love it! We even made my wedding cake together!

This is totally outing but this is a pic of my wedding cake

I'm sorry they haven't been taking proper care of your dog confused how upsetting!

My nipples hurt the first few days after ovulation then got better. It's literally just the sides now.. but am at point in cycle (7DPO) where progesterone at its highest before it will start dropping for AF. If the soreness continues I guess that means progesterone might be continuing to rise which might be a good thing! Definite fullness here which for my 36Es isn't really required

Oh my goodness that cake is stunning!!! You are so talented! Bet it tasted amazing.

Wow that cake is amazing!!
