@thisisouryrfx18 you know what I think it would hit me harder if I had been trying longer. The rational side of me is saying it takes time, it will happen etc etc but the crazy side of me is planning names/nursery colours 😂 that must be really tough on you too!
You never know till AF arrived though do you?? And I have everything crossed she doesn't for you!

lolacola13 · 13/03/2018 21:21

Hi all 😘 I have been a sane human for the last 5 days not been on mn much as AF is here, it's actually been nice not to be insane for a few days. Ttc#1, Been ttc since November, cycles are all over my last one was 44 days!! I had a MC in January. I just opk, take vitamins and guzzle grapefruit juice haha. I still drink quite abit but tend to cut down to minimum during 2ww. Goodluck all! Xx

lolacola13 · 14/03/2018 10:22

How do I tag someone when I want to reply to their message in this reply box lol. I'm like a Martian on this app lol. Anyone else in two week wait.. I have a feeling I just haven't got it this month. I was unsure of ovulation so just dtd twice the day I got my peak and again the next night . So if there was a delay in egg after my lh surge I could have completely missed it . Ahh well it's a learning curve all this ttc.

R7589 · 14/03/2018 14:01

@thisisouryrfx18 aw no! She isn't quite here yet so it may be implantation?? Hopefully anyone. If not you can have babies with all of us in December!!
Hi @lolacola13! All you do is type @ and then start the name of the person you wanna tag - like fb! It's not a learning curve....it's a learning squiggly line there is that much to it!
Hi @xLeanne128! I'm the same as you although I've just started with grapefruit juice - I really can't take to it though!

thisisouryrfx18 · 14/03/2018 15:46

Hi @xLeanne128 welcome!❤@R7589 its not as heavy as usual but still think its too much for implantation bleeding. My cycles are so long it wouldnt be xmas baby for me sadly mine are 42 days long lol trying to stay positive but finding it hard at the minute. How are you neway?

OP posts:
R7589 · 14/03/2018 17:18

@thisisouryrfx18 aw really? Long time to wait then! I still have my fingers and toes crossed for you for this month. If not it's onto next month with happy positive vibes.
I'm ok. AF has stopped so I have a few days before it's back to it for us...not that either of us are complaining. Literally gonna try everything this month even if they are old fishwives tales. Could do with work being a bit less stressful but on away on holiday on 27th thankfully.

thisisouryrfx18 · 14/03/2018 17:40

@R7589 thanx hun x im thinking bout trying acupuncture heard gd things xpensive but i need to try something at this point! Lol yh trying to stay positive where are you off to for hols? Im jealous lol

OP posts:
R7589 · 14/03/2018 20:21

@thisisouryrfx18 I've heard acupuncture can work wonders and not just for ttc! Its amazing how the cost of everything soon adds up, all the OPKs and the tests etc then throwing in acupuncture aswell. Still the end result will defo be worth it! You have to be a very strong person to start the TTC journey I think. People don't realise how crazy it makes you eh?
An all inclusive med cruise....thought we would have a last "big" holiday before things kick in. The selfish part of me is kinda glad it wasn't this month cos it means cocktails! Smile

thisisouryrfx18 · 14/03/2018 23:55

Its expensive when u add it all up but ive tried diet, exercise, cutting down on booze, vitamins, opks u name it ive done it lol Yh thats the only bonus🍸! Oh luvely hope uve been shopping for holiday outfits its a gd excuse isnt it not that we ever need 1 lol hope af goes by quick for u x

OP posts:
R7589 · 15/03/2018 08:01

That's the thing you could do everything right and the timing won't be right. But it will be for you, I know it.
AF has been and gone, so that's me literally starting to test on Saturday already. Very quick turnaround! How about you? Any signs?

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/03/2018 08:23

@R7589 My afs in full flow literally tmi, thats great least afs out the away n yous can get back to trying😉 Thanks i hope the timing is right this month for both us! itd b soo great to just move on to the next phase of our lives im more than ready.

Hi there!

Gonna jump in this one as your first post thisisouryr cracked me up!

Only in cycle 7 but this is #2 (#1 came as a surprise only 3 months into relationship so never thought we would have to actually TTC!) My OH is already imposing no drink, no caffeine, no cheeses etc etc which I think is extra hard for me when AF turns up! My cycles are pretty regular 28/29 days but seems that I have a short luteal phase (10 days). Any we have been on a concoction of vitamins, diets and exercise as well as trying some more uncomfortable positions when DTD haha! FX this is the cycle where it all works.

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/03/2018 09:11

Hi @TwittleBee cute name!💜yh we re all in the tmi club😜theres loads of us ladies here now must increase the odds of one of us getting bfp!

OP posts:
R7589 · 15/03/2018 17:28

@thisisouryrfx18 that's exactly it, moving onto the next stage and having a little best friend hopefully! Aw hun that sucks but this will be the month 💪🏻

@TwittleBee the no caffeine and no drink I can handle....but no cheese?? That would be a shock to the system for me. I get the whole soft cheese thing - took me ages to get over no Brie! - but no cheddar! Shockfingers crossed.

Watch this space....all of us will get out BFPs this month!

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/03/2018 18:37

@R7589 thanx for keeping all our spirits up💜your exactly what we need on this thread hun!@twittlebee tell him to go easy on u lol its gd that hes soo into it aswell tho

OP posts:
R7589 · 15/03/2018 20:46

@thisisouryrfx18 it's what you do on a thread....support and encourage...then you start to believe it yourself 😂 you have to let me know how acupuncture goes...considering it myself even if it's just for stress

TwittleBee · 16/03/2018 05:39

Haha i should have clarified he does mean the soft cheeses only he hasn't blocked cheddar yet!

Cakelaur · 16/03/2018 08:07

Morning ladies. Sorry been a bit awol... (work has been manic) AF is finishing up. OH has jumped onto the crazy wagon this month, bless him, and has now suggested DTD every day from cd10-cd20. (Normally he's the tired one) so that's what we're going for. I'm chucking in pineapple after O and natural progesterone cream (which I'm still waiting to arrive) BBT and OPKS are still gonna be done but only to make sure O has happened. Last chance for a 2018 baby... so we're giving it all we've got.

Sorry to everyone who got AF but come of for xmas babies!!!

Tefiti2 · 16/03/2018 08:15

Hi everyone! I’m on cycle 3, had a chemical in Feb and TTC#2. Currently 3dpo and of course every time I get a twinge I’m crazy googling it 😂 hope af finishes quickly for some of you and you can keep trying :-) is anyone else in the TWW?
