[thisisouryrfx18]

Wanted to start a thread for slightly bonkers ttcers who can laugh at themselves & boost one anothers moral😉 shy posters scared to talk about the nitty gritty shagging at all hrs and discussing cm in detail need not reply!😜

lolacola13 no point testing again as AF fully here now, proper heavy and super painful (never had AF like this before DS). So bloody annoying isn't it that PMS tricks you! FX that the faint on the IC actually turns into a BFP when your tests arrive. FX for you lovely

Ahh thanks @TwittleBee that's so sweet. Make sure ur kind to yourself and spoil yourself a bit this weekend . It's a hard journey we're on and self care is important . Nice baths with bubbles or a new lipstick and a takeaway and beers . Treat yo self! Lol . I'm making a nice curry tonight and have to work tomorrow . Hopefully I can get to mon with no period . If it doesn't come on sun/mon and comes during week then ONCE AGAIN I have misjudged ov.. how can I go wrong with Cb digi ov tests though .

lolacola13 could it be that you have a longer luteal phase though maybe? Like mine is short at only 11/12 days. Had a homemade curry and beer last night, delicious! Baking a pie tonight so least baking will help me relax, it is like my therapy haha

Oh yum @TwittleBee ! I wouldn't know where to begin with a pie I'm no baker! I do good pastas and Italian stuff not so much baking. I'm so excited for curry tonight though , useually we have takeaway on a fri but I thought it would be nice for a change to have a takeaway after work on sat just lie up without cooking... yes my luteal phases is usually always 14-15 days. I looked back on my clue app even to last year before I was trying and I noted 15 days between ov pain and period arriving. That's what I mean if af shows up during week it means I ovulated on the mon / ties instead of Friday when I though cos luteal generally stays the same doesn't it.. is that bad mines that long?? Suppose it's a good time for the lining to get thick but how does this affect/ influence implantation?

@lolacola13 babe you could have a 14day LP. And if you're going by cb ov sticks, then remember it shows your surge in LH, you could O between 24-72 hours later. So panic no. Is it your first month using them?

lolacola13 cba with making own pastry tonight so I am cheating a bit really! Like Cakelaur said, OPKs point to surge so Ov can happen a while later - it is why I chart BBT alongside OPKs. We both got our +OPK Friday 6th but I didn't actual ovulate till the following day according to my BBT. So if you do have a 15 day cycle you will expect it anytime Saturday to Monday if just going by OPK. so many FX though AF doesn't show!

Thanks girls @TwittleBee @Cakelaur ! Yeh I have been counting from the Saturday too as I'm not temping. But it could have been the Sunday suppose then couldn't it... in which case I would be 12dpo today . It's my second month using ic opks and then when I see the line getting darker I switch to Cb digi . Just hope Iv timed my bd to cover all avenues though, we bd the 3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th and 8th then skipped a day and did it 10th and 11th lol.. if that doesn't over it I don't know 😂😂😂

lolacola13 omg that is actually a great idea using the ICs to know when to start using the CBs! way to save money. Gonna steal that idea That will have covered it dw haha!

I have some sticks left over from this months pack
Of Cb digi so yeh they'll do when I see some signs next month . I start noticing lines getting darker on day 14 then switch and then usually get my peak day 17-19 ! I have ic preg tests arriving Monday as I refuse to buy anymore frer so they will do me the next month or so. I'm just doing what I did last time for pregnancy ic to get a few faint lines in a row then a Cb digi to confirm after they get darker too just like with the ov sticks . Gotta save money some how !

@Cakelaur im like that when things are going gd I worry is it too gd to be true after all the hassle you were saying with DP trying to finalise divorce and your miscarriage I think your due some gd luck enjoy it! @lolacola that is a great idea with the ic tests why didnt i think to do that ?the amount of money i spend on tests is ridiculous so cheerz lol

Just had a dollop of EWCM drop out of me! Sitting at my desk, felt it, went to the loo and there it was! WTAF? Never had that before 😳. Positive opk was last week too. So flipping weird!

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather.

@Cakelaur I'm so jealous that you've had a couple of days off with Teddy. He's a sweetheart.

@thisisouryrfx18 all true. Divorce is still going through!!! 🙈 it's taking SOOOO long!!! But the flat is on the market now, so we're one step close of getting rid of the b*tch!! Haha

@Cakelaur well they do say the best revenge is happiness!😂

Hows everyones weekend? 😆

thisisouryrfx18 Well I can't complain, took DS to the Park for a picnic and now I'm sitting in the garden with a rum and coke whilst he is napping! How's yours?

@TwittleBee yh gd had to work but finished now gonna chill out maybe take dog to the park basically lazing bout until i go out with OH tonight. How old is DS hes still a baby isnt he?

AFs done aswell soo woohoo! Hopefully i wont feel all crampy and bloated when i go out lol

thisisouryrfx18 yeah he is just coming up to 11 months! We did want an age gap of 1 year but well that's clearly not happened. Whoop to AF ending ready for tonight for you! Hope you really have a good time and can just enjoy and forget the whole TTC for a bit 😊

that's me out! Cervix come down low and some red spotting. Af expected overnight probs! Not this month. Got a migraine, long hot day in work, af on her way, feeling shitty! Chinese it is! Can't even have a drink as migraine will get worse . I'll just eat the calories instead 😂.. one positive to this cycle is shorter from 40 days at Xmas , to 35 last month now at 31/32... ONWARDS!

lolacola13 oh no I really was hoping that you would have got a BFP for us both! so much baby dust to you for next cycle! Enjoy the Chinese (so jealous of that haha). At least there is a bit of a positive like you said.

@TwittleBee thanks hun! Onwards we both go eh?! Did ur af show up didn't it?

Lolacola13 yeah spotting on Thursday and fully arrived Friday. Next cycle is ours 💪

@lolacola13 thats shit hope your feelin better hun 💜my afs just finished thank god now back to constant shagging think i might become a nun once im pregnant(if it ever happens!)

@TwittleBee @thisisouryrfx18 .., luckily af only lasts three days and day two is always sooo heavy . Itl b done by tues . Was thinking that could be a good thing technically ( forever trying to see the positives 🙄😆) .. blood flow to the aul womb must be good if it gets all the flow out on two super heavy days then boom! Done! ?! Lol. I' need to order some ic opks for cd 10 onwards.. I usually see a few strong lines around 10/11 then my peak around 16... here's to the following month eh. This is emotionally draining. Here's to my shorter cycles though eh.. the shagging exhausted me last month need to spice it up this month maybe 😂🙈👍🏻

@lolacola13 im the same it is soo exhausting lol I have quite a high sex drive but trying to dtd every second day takes away the spontaneity!
