I also discovered from Ovias home page, that she does pregnancy and baby apps!! I'm going to go from a mad TTC woman to a mad pregnant woman and mother! (Secretly can't wait to see what it's like!!)

Could you organise a day trip or a nice lunch out with your OH for Sunday? Just so you've got something nice to do if AF does show up... and somewhere nice to celebrate if she doesn't?

Yes, Ovia is likely to be part of our lives for a long time yet in whatever form!

Yes good idea jupiter, I'm thinking nice pub lunch 👍🏽 And fifty shades comes out on Friday so might plan to see that with my friend on Saturday

Sounds like an excellent plan to me!

I failed at resisting - but all my tests were negative two days past Ovia telling me I should take one!

When did you tak yours *dancing?

Sorry, like when did you get your bfp after AF was due?

God I don't even think either of those were English 😂 You know what I mean!

AF was due Wednesday. Got a negative on the Thursday. Tiny hint of a line appeared just within the time on the Friday, but didn't really believe. So counting my bfp as the Saturday when I took the digital, so 2-3 days after AF due. also tested previous sunday but flooded the test and previous Monday which was clearly too soon

Jupiter - I'm totally new to this so I spose it's just trial and error to see which works best for me. I have already downloaded Ovia to help monitor it so I have a second opinion against OPKs really. Fingers crossed it returns as quick as yours did!!

Buzz - wedding planning is making me stressed. I feel like there's still so much for me to do but I don't really know what and then I'm getting stressed bevause I don't know what's left to do 😂 oh it's a vicious circle. As quick as I'm earning the money it's seems to be going out 😔 boo!! I can't wait til June after the wedding and honeymoon is out the way and paid for so I can get back to saving lots of pennies to spend on my little bundle of joy next year (im thinking very positive for once!)

Ooh where are you going on honeymoon? It'll all come together in the end (i am equally stressed and equally skint! Wedding in July!)

Buzz - Maldives. I was tempted to not come off until because of all the Zika virus that was going around but Maldives has been wiped off the list with it and I'll just but all the insect repellent on me I can buy 😂 I'm fortunate my parents are footing the bill for my wedding but we've not long moved into our house so our credit card bills got a little bit burned so we're clearing them off and finding 5k for a honeymoon haha. I want to be debt free and starting from scratch by the time we're married or at least by the time I give birth. How long have you been TTC?

Oooh Maldives! Very jealous!
I'm not 😳 Waiting till May, after my hen do to start properly TTC but came off pill after Christmas to get my body back to normal. But accidentally got drunk at dtd during my fw last week! And having ALL the symptoms 😳 Like tonight I was craving chicken Kiev!! Just had to have it! 😂

laura Maldives sounds amazing! Would love to go!
unicorn gosh that's mad it didn't show up so quickly, def gives me faith coz I tested at 10dpo and was like negative I'm out! How are you feeling?
buzz weekend plans sound good! Must see new 50 shades also!
I have such bad stomach cramps this evening, feeling very sorry for myself!
parsnips If you are about hope you are skiing your heart out!

Oh sorry buzz ICs I think stand for Internet cheapy tests.... At least I Hope they do coz that's what I think I'm saying when I write that!

Met my new builders they are so nice! I'll have a new bathroom by mid march (if DH can actually make some decisions about what tiles we want etc)! They've also agreed to sort out a couple of remaining bits in the other rooms which is great.

Buzz - are you hen do'ing local to you or going somewhere else? I go on my hen do 18th May and I can't wait. I don't know who's more excited me or my mother tho which is slightly worrying haha!! Wow you come off a long time ago I just didn't dare come off too soon just incase. I won't fit in my dress and I think my mother would kill me after we went to all the trouble of leaving this country and having it made #NoBabyCookingForMe 😂

Mrs C - I am rather excited. I'm just hoping it doesn't rain 24/7 - im expecting it to rain a little bit just not all the time hopefully. Altho I spose if it rains it'll me and OH an excuse to get freaky haha

mrsc oh of course! Hehe yes I have a few ICs and a cheapy boots one in my drawer 👍🏽 They're so bloody expensive!

laura I'm going to Majorca for 3 days on 13th May! Was deffo not part of the plan, I was hoping to do so well at avoiding my fw! So I'm pretty stuffed if I am pregnant AND probably won't fit in my dress! But will be so worth it for a baby, is all I can think of at the mo! Someone said further up that it's a win win this weekend, I either get a baby, or don't have to buy a new dress! Where are you going for your hen do? :)

mrsc hope your stomach feels better soon!

Ah grumpy I'm so jealous. We moved house in September, had new windows fitted throughout, decorated DS room and bought a few bits of furniture we needed... still loads to do though. Just so expensive. I want a new bathroom and kitchen but we will extend kitchen at some point in next few years so no point in paying out for new kitchen. Previous owners did everything on the cheap and it shows!!!

In bed already, feeling so tired. No dtd tonight. Definitely think we will dtd EOD this month.

grumpy that's really exciting and mid march is so soon!! What kind of bathroom are you getting? I've always wanted one of those rainfall shower thingys 😍 Picking tiles is so hard! What colour you going for?

Keeping it simple, something like this

So bloody hard to find a black shower! I googled and it pretty much just came up with a mumsnet thread asking how do I find one lol

Buzz - you'll just miss my partner. He's going Palma but he's told me he doesn't want to do Magalluf as he's 29 and I'm 21 he doesn't really wanna see lots of underage girls that are walking round naked (or might aswell be) that can't handle there drink. There more content with going on quad bikes and jet skis and having private table in some nice bars on the harbour but I'll see if they stick to it 🙄 haha. I'm going Marbella on 18th til 21st me and OH go away on same dates which is good I think. I feel like I'm going abit psycho it's all I've got on my brain but I can't tell anybody because they'll just think I'm weird. I think motherhood is gonna be the only thing I'm good at tbh 😂
