@dolly ahhhh I know I feel like I want to but it's just cause I want to know lolol so OPK won't tell me anything! I'm so so impatient!!! If my mum was here she would be telling me to chill out lol!!!!

I feel really hungry now & think that's a sign AF is on her way 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I've been so busy and just been dipping in and out of the thread but I'll be back properly tomorrow.
Just wanted to say that Dolly, I had AF type cramps throughout the whole of my first trimester with DS, it's just your uterus starting to stretch. I hated it though and every time I went to the loo I was expecting to wipe and see blood. I seemed to relax a lot more once I'd had my 12 week scan and knew everything was ok. But don't be scared to ring your GP if it will put your mind at rest.

BellaMoon · 05/03/2017 22:09

@AmandaP86x and if it's not alright, then it's not the end 👍🏼👍🏼 xx

CakesALot · 05/03/2017 22:14

bella that looks like a lush set up!! Heading into the fw window here too. Away Tuesday night for work so dtd today, tomorrow and Wednesday and perhaps Friday for luck. Will attempt to opk but failed miserably on that so far! Just hoping all the Doreen's are partying hard in my tubes waiting for that eggy!!

Enjoyed a glass of vino in the name of relaxation as well like I need an excuse to start the week off with good vibes. BFP you are mine this month!!!

Itsjustaphase84 · 05/03/2017 22:30

Opk's from last 24/36 hours. The bottom two were today so I reckon I ov'd last night or this AM as they are faint today.
The faint ones are what I usually see elsewhere in my cycle. . I Dtd yesterday in evening anyway plus 48 hours before.

Itsjustaphase84 · 05/03/2017 22:34

Oh the top one was Friday night so all of Saturday I had +ive opks Grin

BellaMoon · 05/03/2017 22:45

@Itsjustaphase84 i love when i see POAS posts, it's such great info sharing! i used the CB OPKs so when i got my peak smiley face my test kit doesn't let me test again for 48hrs. i might use these during that time to see if i can work out more precisely when i actually OV'd. thank you xx

AmandaP86x · 06/03/2017 00:13

Awww @Bella I know!! Lovely wee saying.

Hippychic oh thank u it's 5 years just doesn't seem any easier but I'll get there ❤️ Another day closer to AF/BFP night girlies xxxxx

Rainbowsockstoday · 06/03/2017 02:59

Itsjustaphase thank you for the photo. How many do you do a day and at what times? I read online that you only need once and afternoons are best but I'm wondering if I should do mornings too. Xx

Rainbowsockstoday · 06/03/2017 03:03

😂 sorry for the 3am post btw! My DC lost his "mummy dider" and I had to search the bed for it! No child in the world has ever loved a £5 cuddly spider as much as that boy! Thank you Tesco Halloween range! A tip for you ftm if your baby ever takes a liking to a soft toy (like a real love) buy another to keep in the cupboard and rotate them occasionally (so they wear the same) just in case one goes missing xx

Hippychic79 · 06/03/2017 06:34

Happy Monday xxx

@bella I tempted to get the cb opks. I might use them next cycle but Im going to get my bfp this month Grin PMA!!!

@rainbow I try to avoid fmu as I read that your LH concentration is naturally higher in mornings. I test mid am, afternoon any time and 7pm ish. So 3/4 times a day once I get ewcm. I do it that often to see how long the surge lasts.

Although I can only speculate when I ov'd exactly

CakesALot · 06/03/2017 07:06

I'm with you rainbow. We have 3 versions of dds comforter!!

Rainbowsockstoday · 06/03/2017 07:24

Cakesalot the spider goes everywhere and gets wet, dirty, muddy, food on, sneezed on and generally a bit gross. So I have her twin sister who steps in whilst she has a special bath with dettol laundry cleaner!

Omg I actually have loads of tips for being a FTP I think DH and I should write an online book of cheats! The reason they are called cheats is every brilliant parent will tell you there are no rules or instructions to babies and children... but there are loads of sneaky cheats 😆

Rainbowsockstoday · 06/03/2017 07:25

I found this for us all today...

Rainbow No need to go it alone – we’re all here to support each other. Welcome aboard. You seem keen to understand additional things that you can do to aid TTC, I would recommend acupuncture and or reflexology and maybe an appointment with a naturopath who will be able to assess you as an individual and will let you know if you need any additional herbs and supplements. On a basic level, I assume you are taking folic acid – always worth investing in a good brand (Cytoplan or Nutriadvanced are good) and maybe a pregnancy multivitamin, again a good brand like Cytoplan or Nutriadvanced. In terms of DTD, I think every other day is recommended. I have read a lot of books and see a naturopath and have not heard of agnus castus or rec clover. I’ve read on here that evening primrose oil can help to increase CM, but preseed is also a good aid for this and provides instant results. I am no expert, I just read a lot about ttc – ultimately you need to do what feels right for you. I use the clear blue digital OPK’s too as I find them easier to read as they give you a definitive answer.

Rainbow Do it – write an online book …. I’ll proof read it for you 😊 Loving the pic

Salem As I ovulated slightly later this month, my BFP is now due on 11 or 12th. Do not worry about re-doing the list, I’ll just mentally move myself down a few places, I’m a day behind Anna

Thank you Cakes for saying we’re fab – we love you too. Loving your PMA – whoop whoop

Dolly and Moo - still riding the wave of your BFP’s…. and thank you for staying with us… some of the mums amongst us can help with answering questions and the rest of us will ask you questions lol.

Charley Sorry to hear about your BFN, fx it was just too early!

Soph I love the body balance class, you’ve just reminded me that I need to get my ass back to it… thank you.

Amanda You’re symptoms sound promising and 13 is a lucky number so fingers crossed for you hun

MrsB I hope the nurse can shed some light on what’s going on with your cycles. In terms of age – my friend is 42 and baby bombed me on Friday… so I don’t think it’s your age.

Anna Are you waiting it out? Or are you planning on testing? If you’re gonna test – which day you thinking?

Phase Looks like you ovulated Saturday night / Sunday morning – I think that’s what happened to me last week after I went POAS OPK crazy 😊 The CB OPK’s are expensive but I think they’re worth it – it’s lush to see the smiley face, for a split second you almost think you’re pregnant!

Bella Love your style – that bath looks just heaven. You should have a stonking week ahead now

Midget Fingers crossed you just tested too early and your BFP is just being shy!

Archies Thank you for sharing your pg insight, I find these really helpful even though I’m still waiting for my BFP #gottalovethe2ww

I kno fingers crossed!! Every day u wake up without AF is great lol. Last night me & DH went to work out like how far on I would be at a certain time in the year but then went no this will jinx it and didn't bother 😭🙈

It's terrible that you want to fast forward time.

Thanks for all the TTC tips. I love pineapple so il get wired into that today. Been taking pregnacare for months now too. Not had a drink in a few weeks either just the odd glass of wine.

Trying to still exercise too. But my nightshifts have been flinging me all over the place 😭

AmandaP86x · 06/03/2017 10:23

Honestly this thread is so lovely
Iv been on another one for a few months and they barely acknowledged me 😞

MummysMaison · 06/03/2017 10:28

Hello,

Can I join all you lovely ladies?

My situation is a strange one. My DH had a vasectomy 12 years ago and is booked in for reversal in June Grin. Once that is done we will be actively TTC. I know nothing is guaranteed but we have been told he has a 84% change the reversal will work.

Until then I have ordered OPKS, thermometer and a chart and thought I might try and get ahead and track my cycles to see when i'm ovulating. I already have 2 DDs from my previous marriage 11&8.

ArchiesMamaBird · 06/03/2017 10:29

Anna Yes everyone is so lovely on this thread. I sometimes don't post for a few days but then everyone welcomes you back like you've never been away Smile

ArchiesMamaBird · 06/03/2017 10:30

Welcome MummysMaison. Charting your BBT and checking CM is such a good idea. I've been doing it for a few months now and I feel so much more in tune with my body, and more in control of my fertility now. And being pro-active makes me feel so much more positive each month

MummysMaison · 06/03/2017 10:33

Thanks Archies Grin

I'm also taking folic acid and cod liver oil (not sure on the last one if its ok for when pregnant).

I worry for DH as I know how obsessed i'm going to get with this! He won't be able to walk properly Wink

Dollydaydream2829 · 06/03/2017 10:33

Good morning ladies, hope everyone is well and symptom spotting their way through the 2ww or positioned with their LS gearing up for fertile week Wink
Anyone testing today?
Thanks for the info archies - it's always reassuring that it has been normal for at least one person!
Hippy I feel like I'm still on a high too, although still fairly disbelieving of it all. Wonder if it'll take until an actual baby is in my arms before I believe it?! Haha!
FX your TWW goes in fast amanda - are you going to wait til the 13th to test or test early?
I'm gearing up for a week of nightshifts, starting tonight. Considering one of my only symptoms is fatigue, I'm dreading what I'm going to be like on these nights! I'm a zombie at the best of times and that's before I got my BFP!! Haha!
