@GoldilocksTheGraceless I think I will talk to him about it, vitamins are always good aren't they, I'll suggest it to him! 🙈 I'm literally just doing internet cheapies! I used to always have them in the house so I have so so many of them so the temptation is always there to do one, I know I'm silly 😂🙈

susso · 28/03/2018 16:36

Sorry I meant @TwittleBee not @GoldilocksTheGraceless 🙈

susso · 28/03/2018 16:45

Currently on a little day out with my niece and she says "when are you going to have a baby auntie moo moo (nick name since she was tiny😂), all your brothers and sisters have had one now you're the last one!!"

Thanks for pointing that out Lucy, not like I'm trying or anything!!😬😂
Made me giggle x

Hopefulalways · 28/03/2018 17:19

Thanks for doing that @TwittleBee I think it may be a scuff on the paper 😑

I will test again in the morn but I think I'm preparing for it to be a bfn. Pants.

Haha @susso you gotta love em 😂

lolacola13 · 28/03/2018 18:35

Going crazy on day 8!! Not near the fertile window as I ov on day 18-20...anyone any tips to feel proactive ? THis is worse than tww!

Hopefulalways · 28/03/2018 19:07

Hi @lolacola13 .... errrrrrm ..... no ...... this thread is called nutty for a reason haha, why not spend a week or so eating all the yummy things you can't when up the duff? 😁😁😁

TwittleBee · 28/03/2018 20:02

lolacola13 I'm in that stage now too! CD4 for me and AF has gone. This month I've decided to do light exercise and really work on healthy eating at the start (especially focusing on green veg) and then the plan is to do yoga haha. Roll on Ov Day!

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/03/2018 20:40

thisisouryrfx18 like I swear I'm taking care of myself better than I when I was actually pregnant with DS haha

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 28/03/2018 22:52

You all are so funny. I spent jan to mid March without alcohol, processed sugar, deli meat, soft cheese, caffeine, sushi, or...trampolining!!

I then thought 'hey people on films get pregnant when they stop trying and relax' so I'll drink and chill out and that'll work. Well I guess we'll see. DTD tonight after half bottle of red 😂😂😂 I mean it's worth a try right?!

lolacola13 · 28/03/2018 23:41

I am currently wearing fuzzy socks 24hours a day as Iv heard it helps maintain a healthy blood supply to womb hahahahaha WHO AM I. And drinking bloody grapefruit juice every day . Anyone else doing equally crazy shit in the lead up to ovulation 😂😂😂 .....cuckoo.

TwittleBee · 29/03/2018 07:45

GoldilocksTheGraceless certainly worth a try! We conceived DS by accident (like how!?) only 3 months into our relationship we went on holiday, drank a stupid amount done stupid things and then BAM pregnant! haha.

lolacola13 omg I never wear socks and always have freezing feet! I shall now adopt this sock wearing lifestyle too!

Cakelaur · 29/03/2018 08:39

Morning all!! DTD marathon is finally over!! I'm officially 3dpo!! And pineapple started 3 days ago. Progesterone cream starting today and stopping alcohol again. I didn't have any for 4 days and then OH had the best news the other day so we popped a couple of bottles of champagne. But NOW I'm gonna do no alcohol haha. Only until af though! 🙈 life is so much more fun with wine! Haha!

TwittleBee · 29/03/2018 08:48

Cakelaur great to hear OH had some good news! Smile I do miss wine... not gonna lie. I have a wedding to go to Easter Monday, making myself drive so I won't drink anything beyond the toasting drink!

thisisouryrfx18 · 29/03/2018 09:42

@lolacola oooo i luv fuzzy socks! Thats soo weird@twittlebee i always have freezing feet aswell maybe theres something in it 😲congrats to hubby@cakelaur can u not say what it was? Would it out u lol?

Does anyone on here actually get freaked out by being "outed"? - I have given out so much stuff which I am sure people would recognise as being me straight away! haha

Cakelaur · 29/03/2018 13:08

Haha. I'm not fussed about being outed at all. I can say what it is, it's just long winded. So here goes.....
My OH is technically still married to his son's mum. They've been separated for 10 years. But basically she got him into a load of debt and he had to enter into a financial repayment scheme, which has meant that he couldn't get divorced (she wants half his flat and he can't sell it til he's done) anyway. After 6.5years of repayments (they stopped in October) they haven't closed the case and it's stopping us moving on with our lives (we can't get a mortgage together etc) he finally got the closure certificate. So now he can sell the flat, divorce his wife, marry me, and we can buy our new house. So basically it's everything we've been waiting for! It seems like forever it's gone on.
It's kinda the end of a massive chapter and the start of a better one. All in time for hopefully our bfp! And new puppy and holiday of a lifetime.

lolacola13 · 29/03/2018 13:29

Random question but if I had ovulation pains on days on cd 18,19,20 and a reading peak on day 19 and 20 . When did I ovulate?

thisisouryrfx18 · 29/03/2018 13:38

@twittlebee yh id rather ppl didnt know cause i think itd ad more pressure@caklaur didnt mean that in a rude way just curious..thats fantastic news yous must b soo relieved!

thisisouryrfx18 · 29/03/2018 13:39

Meant@cakelaur haha typo

TwittleBee · 29/03/2018 13:43

Cakelaur wouldn't that be amazing end to that chapter if the two of you got a BFP! FX for you so much. Glad that is getting sorted now! Such a long time!

lolacola13 yes all the time! I wonder if it is where ovaries get ready to ovulate before hand, takes them a few days to actually finally release? The OPK kits do say that you are likely to ovulate between 12-36 hours after a positive reading. So I would say CD20 you likely ovulated?

thisisouryrfx18 I think as long as no one from my work realised this was me I wouldn't be that bothered. Unless some friends/family spotted me on other threads talking about stuff I would rather them not know about hahah!

HidCat · 29/03/2018 15:03

That great @Cakelaur! What a shit situation you've been in. Onwards and upwards!

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 29/03/2018 15:16

Wow @Cakelaur I'm thrilled for you both. Fx for a BFP to top it all off!! X

Cakelaur · 29/03/2018 15:20

Thanks ladies! And yup. Super excited attached my chart. We had good BD this month. So hoping for our rainbow baby!
