Hi ladies, I'm still here snotting away! Eh very jel of all the generous sized boobs, my 32b's cannot compete!
confused wow that cake is amazing you should get on cake boss! That's serious talent! I'm sorry about your doggy, I hope it's not as serious as they think 😔
grumpy aww, you're a proud mama for sure! I'm like that with DS too, today he was just so grown up to I actually had to take a minute to myself to shed a tear at how lovely he is!
buzz pizza is the only cure for a hangover, you did the right thing!
jupiter if that's the case I hope your boobs are killing you for the week
mummy hope your tww flies!! 💜

Aww confused hope the pooch is ok - what's up with him? So stressful when they're sick. And wow at your cake!

Grumpy I totally know what you mean about hormones being all over the place. My moods are all over the show - sob at the most ridiculous things!

Back to work for me this morning - hopefully it's not a crazy week! Only 2lb weight gain this morning so will aim for a carb free week to shift it!

Still negative but the line is definitely getting more noticeable:

A better photo what do you think?

Yes still negative but shouldn't be long. Did you do it this morning? I thought you were supposed to do them in the afternoon.

Been doing them morning (not FMU) and evening and there's no difference for me in the line colour

Still negative grumpy shouldn't be long though. I do morning and afternoon OPKs to catch a positive

That cake looks amazing confused very impressed

Wow confused that cake is fabulous. Home alone today as DH is helping my dad. Nice quiet day I think and walk round to the shop to get some bits for the week.

Looking forward to opking again this month so I can satisfy my poas urges

EWCM and low open cervix! Should be ovulating soon I hope. DH says he is up for having a snuggly baby by Christmas! So we will DTD again tonight

Epic cake confused my mum and I made my wedding cake but wasn't as pro as this... Definitely more shabby chic!

buzz dommys is the ultimate hangover cure... & im sure hangover calories don't count? Good luck getting back on the wagon Monday!

Sending positive implantation thoughts to all the TWWers! So exciting!

I had sore nipples last cycles & now this cycle... I thought maybe ovulation but I'm CD 22 so maybe just increase of progesterone. I had zero symptoms of anything for the entire 16 years on the pill so intrigued to monitor what's going on now!

Had a run round soft play with my nephew yesterday, SO much fun. He's only 1 but had soon ditched the baby section for the big kids area!

2DPO and EWCM completely gone. We didn't dtd last night, I was so tired 😴 Hopefully we did enough this month, I just wasn't feeling as up for it as previous months. BFP due on 23rd.. not too far away

Honestly if i had the money i would fully fund a bakery for my little sis... shes an absolute star!... i just do the decorating lol. But Hb didn't you find it such a lovely thing to do?

Keep going with OPKs Grumpy the only thing with those is i didn't get as darker line as with the one step ones but i don't get a line at all on these ones till OV so maybe keep a track of how dark they are to see a pattern even if not +ve...

Awhh HB that sounds lovely! I was with my 2 yo nephew yesterday building towers and knoxking them down being all loud and apparently annoying... safe to say i got him told off for making too much noise =(... i'm such a big kid with him though! It has made me realise i would be happy with a boy as well as a girl.

Jupiter any sore boobs today? I got woken up by mine this morning!!

Your soreness is such a good sign confused!! Mine are the same today, had terrible night of high temperature and lots of nausea. Must be a bug as don't think early preg would cause that? Still feel a bit flushed this morning with some low level nausea.

Ovia told me today that the egg almost definitely would have implanted by now if it was going to, but I'm only 8DPO and
though it usually happened 9-10DPO?

Mummy fx you had enough backed up :)

Hb that's a really hopeful sign that you still have high levels of progesterone in your body!

Hb when are ypu testing? Will you be joining me and Jupiter on 16th for a poasathon?

I'm hoping so Jupiter i am getting very snappy with nanny confused (she has the onset of dementia so very needy) i feel bad about it. I just said to DH about it and how my boobs are and the fact i need to stuff my face until I feel sick... his response is maybe you have a baby... its made me excited but i don't want to get my hopes up!..

Also implantation happend between 6-12 days

Mummy you should deffo be well covered by now! Babydust to you

Oooh really promising signs jupiter & confused !

I'm not with you on testing this month as I know there won't be a baby!! 👶🏽🚫
We're starting next month (if zika test negative! Fx)
I'm just pleased I've seen these symptoms a few times and when I am TTC I can rule it out as a symptom and dial down the obsessive craziness that I know will happen!

We had some tower knocking down too confused

Sounds like DTD last night wasn't really necessary... FX

Feeling a bit shite today... Cold/headache... Ditched the gym for a lie in so feel a bit guilty!

The DTD comment was for mummy !

Brain not working!

Not long until your zika results Hb- are they due tomorrow or have I made that up?

Its so hard not to get hopes up confused - I keep swinging back and forth! Roll on Thursday test day...

Sadly you've made that up jupiter ! Test is 22nd & results within 10 days but should be fairly swift! FW early March so good timing!

Oh dear, I clearly did! I think I had 12th in my mind rather than 22nd. Anyway not long either way and March may be the month :)

Hi girls! I really feel like this will be a month of lots of BFPs, lots of us actively trying now! Had a big talk with DP last night about baby plans and we are going to go ahead. I really don't want any more of a gap than I already have, and he said jobs will always be there. We just wish we had started ttc two years ago! So although I have my worries regarding the work situation we are going to go ahead!
Got ewcm today but not due to ovulate u til Friday, wonder if I should start OPKing? Or is it normal to get ewcm so early?
hb zika test is so soon now so you'll be actively ttc so soon, very exciting!
jupiter & confused those symptoms seem very promising, I bet you'll both get BFPs this month!! jupiter hope you are feeling a bit better by now!

Thanks for the positivity MrsC, that's lovely! Nausea has subsided since lunch which is good :)

I got EWCM 6 days before positive OPK this month, take it as a good sign that you've got lots of lovely oestrogen building up! You might ovulate early this month so might be worth starting OPKs tomorrow just in case. I'm so excited for you that you've decided to go for it. You never know how things might work out with your job so embrace the decision you've made for now. Good luck.

jupiter thanks lovely xx yep I think we had a few worries niggling at both of us, and we were both worried about upsetting the other so it was good to get them all out in the open so very happy we are trying now, hoping this will be our month!
Also thanks for the tips on ewcm, I didn't realise it could arrive so early, didn't happen last month but will do an OPK tomorrow maybe just to see, the earlier the better! Maybe I'm going back to 26 days cycles this month!

MrsC what cycle day are you on? Exciting!

I'm hoping for lots of BFPs this month 😀 I wish there was a way we could know earlier after ovulation...
We went to have a look at cars today. Love the Volvo XC60 and quite like the NIssan X trail. Boot space in x trail is immense Volvo is good. Volvo just looks a bit more aesthetically pleasing
