mummy so sorry about BFN, so frustrating. Have you got anything nice planned for yourself today?

confused hope you're bearing up. I hope the doctor calls soon.. wishing for nice high number. Definitely get your care transferred if you can.

Hb any AF signs??! Getting bit excited now!

Grumpy I can see you what you see but think it's the dust spec? Really early though. In fact could even be yet to implant!

Glitters welcome back! Good luck for you this week!

nips it is Grin.. how are you? How are things progressing with DH?

All fine this end, roll on weekend and beginning of fertile week.

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 09:00

seven and orange how are my cycle buddies? :)

buzzmoon · 22/02/2017 09:14

jupiter what CD are you?

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 09:15

Hi buzz I'm CD5, how about you?

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 09:16

You're not trying yet though am I right?

buzzmoon · 22/02/2017 09:19

I'm CD13 but not trying :) sorry I misread your last post, thought you said today was start of fertile week and I was like oh hey cycle buddy! But I see now that next week will be the beginning of fertile week! Sorry it's still too early for me! 🙈

Redpony1 · 22/02/2017 09:21

Morning ladies Smile

Welcome back Alltheglitters Grin I am now on CD14 with negative OPK's - finally had my AF post-pill After 64 days!!

Hope you get news soon Confused, i would defo change hospitals

Sorry about AF Mummyme Sad Flowers

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 09:24

Haha don't worry buzz :)

Redpony1 · 22/02/2017 09:30

Buzz it's me who is currently your cycle buddy Smile

Mummyme87 · 22/02/2017 09:34

Nothing exciting planned for me today.. look after boy child, survive the day 😂
Have booked a ticket for The Baby Show at excel for next week 🙄 My friend who is TTC wanted to go.. that will depress me greatly!

HbH04 · 22/02/2017 09:44

Welcome back glitters glad you've come at the right time to be a cycle buddy for grumpy !

Still no AF.... very odd. Still not thinking it would be possible to be knocked up, I'd be amazed & weirdly slightly put out cos im so excited to 'try'... DTD loads and then wait excitably!! Obvs this is very rose tinted and from what ive seen from you girls it get old quickly! 😂

Im thinking its Sod's Law because i booked a smear for next Tuesday when i 'knew' I'd have finished my period!! And now my body is playing games!!

buzzmoon · 22/02/2017 09:45

Wahy red I knew I had a buddy somewhere! I still have negative opks too.

The baby show will be fun! Except when I went to the wedding show, when I wasn't getting married, I kept getting asked 'when is your hug day' so I imagine going to the baby show and getting asked 'when are you due' might not be fun- when the response is, I'm not, I'm just fat 😳

Mummyme87 · 22/02/2017 09:57

Hahaha buzz I am dreading that part. I've been for the last 3 years to both excel and Olympia but never been TTC

Hey glitters (it's me - there's - I had a cheeky name change too). Hope you're well.

Things with DH are ok. Trying to put his fuckwittery out of my mind but think I've drummed the message home.

Around what day is ovulation usually? I've had no pains or anything. Not actually trying just curious as to dates.

Any update from confused?

Still no news here!... apparently i am in the folder to be contacted at some point today 😞 I spoke to my mum and she went to the Gyne clinic in the hospital she works in and they told her that if i have no call back by this evening then to bring me in which i guess is a good thing... i guess in my brain i am just wondering if everything is ok will they drain the fluid from around my ovary (which seems to be getting worse) or do i just live with this for the next 8-9 months?

Awhh Mummy i wanna go to the Baby Show! I always manage to miss these things when they are about... maybe i can convince someone to go with me...

Haha Nips that photo is pretty funny!

AllTheGlitters · 22/02/2017 10:56

Ahhh Nips I was wondering where timefortea went! Gland to hear you're still here [Grin]

Grumpy absolutely, I'm bricking it and have a feeling I OV'd a little later, but will still give it a go Friday morning :)

RedPonY So glad your cycle is returning, I remember if being frustrating!

confused so sorry to hear there's no news yet :(

HB we're not officially trying yet still, but we are not preventing either and have regular sexy times naturally so there is always a chance! We were supposed to be starting actively trying in June/July but have brought it forward to April, as that's way too long away Grin

TheGrumpySquirrel · 22/02/2017 11:02

Yay glitter we can support each other Friday.. and next week lol! I'm trying to assume it's not worked this month (been symptom spotting but with my DD I had ZERO symptoms so who knows!)

Confused I hope you get results soon! So annoying that they have them but can't just tell you!

AllTheGlitters · 22/02/2017 11:12

Grumpy Yes! Grin

How old is your DD? :) Mine is 18 months and with her I had nothing out of the ordinary except I woke up one night with reaallly tingling nipples, nothing else though :/ And nothing so far! I'm trying not to sympton spot at all, we'll see how that goes Confused

That's awful confused :(

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 11:19

Hb would it be worth testing today? Your AF is late so an HPT should be relatively clear at this point?

confused you poor thing, you and DH must be going mad (although I know you're home alone today so hope you're okay!)

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 11:20

Haha, love the photo nips, that is horrifyingly familiar. My Facebook feed is full of that kind of malarkey.

HeyJupiter · 22/02/2017 11:22

mummyme hope the baby show is okay. You will be feeling much better by the weekend. I think psychologically the start of AF being called 'CD1' is actually really helpful as feels like you can put the last month behind you. By then you'll be comfortably into your next cycle.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 22/02/2017 11:23

Glitters my DD is almost 12!

I'm having sharp twinges in my pelvis on the right. And backache on the left! Very definitely not imagined.

buzzmoon · 22/02/2017 11:29

Yes hb you should test. I love living my new found poas addiction through you guys too!!

Mummyme87 · 22/02/2017 11:35

jupiter absolutely agree CD1 feels good and refreshing.
