New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

So much going on! Congrats to all those with BFP's! It's so exciting!!
Still need to try and persuade DH to DTD tonight as I believe I'm ovulating late but he's so far not feeling it.. challenge accepted! (Without forcing him obviously!)
Happy vibes all round! Such a positive thread, I love it!

Thanks @FlapJackered and @Crossfitgirl 😘😘

@FlapJackered @purplestar9 TEAM COWGIRL GO!!!!
Get ready ladies to ride like never before 😂😂😂 I'm cracking up writing this! Go have a wonderful evening. We deserve some happiness after a lovely day on this thread 😍😍 so much love for you all xxxxx

You are all brilliant and hilarious. I tested, bfn as expected BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT. Got a spare test now though

@CrystalBlaze I'm sorry Hun, any chance you took one too early??? Keep positive. You can get a false BFN. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Sorry to hear that @CrystalBlaze 😕 as @Delilah7 said maybe you tested too early? I tested Saturday (3 days ago) and it was a massive BFN but then tested BFP today. Is AF due yet?

Thanks @Delilah7 and @Chivari. It was too early and I knew it - AF not even due till Friday. Couldn't resist though.

@Delilah7 🤣🤣😂
No words needed!

@CrystalBlaze doesn't mean it's true. I had a BFN either a week or a few days before my BFP so it can be false. Keep positive darling ❤️

@purplestar9 less typing more bucking ...

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks @Delilah7

I know it's very early so I'm keeping positive for now. Going to TRY and resist testing again before the weekend/AF shows

😂 @Delilah7 on your marks get set! ...DTD as many times as you can in the next 24hrs ...and GO! 😂 🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼

Doesn't help I am SO bloated after too much gelato & pasta. It's not a great seduction tool!

@purplestar9 - just read your post about the cyst, that is great news that it wasn't anything serious and that they were able to drain it there and then, I hope it's not too sore?

@CrystalBlaze acht sorry for the bfn but it is early so you're not out yet. 🤞🏻

@purplestar go go go!!!!! 😂
And I totally force it sometimes!! Haha Last month I swear I woke him up just to try get him to DTD, even when he is in the least sexy mood EVER, I know exactly what I need to do to make him stand tall and once it's up there well... it's not really forcing any more is it! 😂😂😂
Can I ask your advice? You said you are temping - can I ask what thermometer you use and do you have any tips for doing it right? I bought one that arrived today off Amazon, it's to 2 decimal places but I tested it 3 times this evening one after the other and they were all slightly different readings. Is that normal?? Is there a certain way to put it in your mouth?
Also does it matter if you wake up a bit and go back to sleep? My DH leaves before my alarm goes off so sometimes I sort of half wake up... I assume you have to do it immediately on waking?

@flapjackered get on those holiday vibes!!! Lick the gelato off him if you have to!!! 😁😁😁 xxx

@CrystalBlaze I'm still feeling big, fat and positive on your behalf.

I've had so much fun already 😂 I've taken a break to cook dinner (stupidly late but I'm hungry again now) I'm ready for the next round after dinner, DH is scared 😂

Hi ladies,

I've found and read the thread over the last couple of days and it's made me smile!! Congrats to all the BFP's - it's certainly looking like a lucky thread to me! @Delilah7 really hope you get a BFP really really soon 😘.

So my info:
Age 31
TTC #1
Cycle 1(ish, i think)

Been on my honeymoon and DTD as much as possible! Been logging all my daily info and symptoms on Ovia for the first time (as this is still technically cycle 1 for me) and the fertile days just seem to follow me and change each day, so just hoping one of them was accurate and we DTD on my most fertile days. Had some symptoms that I thought might be ovulation whilst I was away, very light spotting for a couple of days, back ache, headache and feeling sick in the morning for a couple of days, any of that sound familiar? Anyone else find this when they first started TTC and using apps? Still waiting for my first AF after coming off the implant at the end of June so just a little in the dark still at the moment. Will take my first pregnancy test in a couple of weeks time I think just to see!

Xxx

Hi @shelly10 what day are you on? Xx

I've got undressed and me and DH both looked at my boobs - they're still really sore but the veins on them are HUGE, and I also have more veins across my chest too. I'm sure my nipples look more deep in colour too... I'm only CD15 though so I doubt it means anything. So hard to not symptom spot, I'm already going crazy 😩 xx

Gosh so much to read hello everyone new! @Chivari and @Bettyhop congratulations great to see some BFPs
For the newcomers:
I am aged 30, married, TTC cycle 4, but stopped taking my birth control a couple of months beforehand. I get super long cycles and am loathing life off birth control, acne and mood swings 😭
@FlapJackered how is Italy? The gelato and pasta comment made me lol - perhaps lots of prosecco is key!😂 Italian name such a good idea. I love Giovanna and Lucia for girls.
@Delilah7 glad you're still doing well love, really admire how strong you've been 💪 Your OH sounds so supportive getting back on board, like others have already said men can bottle up sometimes so keep talking it over ❤️ Best of luck 🤞🏼❤️🤞🏼
I am in the TWW now I think but don't really have a clue as otcs were all negative. Still trying to DTD at least every other day

Hi @daisiesandpeonies I feel your pain with hormonal acne. I have suffered with it! The best thing that worked for me is taking Starflower Oil and Vitamin E daily. It really helped with the big breakouts and painful deep spots xx

@CrystalBlaze I am feeling a positive so keep the faith 😍

@FlapJackered the seduction tool is your noonie so don't worry about the tummy 😂😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter you're on FIRE!!!! 😈

@shelly10 welcome Hun, thank you so much 😍 fingers crossed for you too.

@daisiesandponies thank you - really means a lot 😍 joins us for the annoying 2WW.

@Delilah7 unfortunately it didn't happen last night, we were both knackered from a long emotional day. So I hope enough has been done this cycle already! And now I'm gonna go with 1DPO! TWW I'm gonna crush you! 😂

@FlapJackered Thanks! It's all better now, was a little sore yesterday but feels back to normal this morning, just got a pin prick where the needle went in (it's my war wound!).

@Crossfitgirl haha 😂 I didn't feel like I could push it too much last night, he was very worried about my hospital appointment and had a worrying/stressful day! I also bought my thermometer off amazon, I have been told that the temp will fluctuate if you do it a few times in a row. I would suggest taking your temp when you first wake so when your DH goes, it says to take it before doing anything else (even before sitting up or going to the loo). And you need to put it under your tongue, towards the back where the tongue meets the bottom of your mouth.

@shelly10 hello and welcome to the madness! 😀

@purplestar9 I'm on the same as you darling 1DPO so we can 2WW together 😍

@Delilah7 @purplestar9 - I am 1dpo too!!!
I love that we have got the tww together!
Ummm I think I am starting to feel nauseous! Joking!! 😂

@Crossfitgirl - 😂 mission successful! Hopefully we have done enough! 🤞🏻
I think if the thermometer is reading different temps I would send it back, unless it's only varying 1 or 2 points on the second decimal?. I have got a natural cycles one which I think you can buy on their website separately but not sure of the cost. It has been great though and has stayed the same on calibration.

Welcome @shelly10 !

@daisiesandpeonies - Italy is great thanks lovely, the food is SO GOOD!
I swear I have put on about a stone already.i like those names! I would love to embarrass future mini-me by her having to explain why she has an Italian name 😂
Ah that is tricky not knowing where you are in the cycle. I have had that before. I can't remember if you said you temped as that can help a bit.

Morning ladies! Hope everyone is good.

Welcome @shelley10! Sounds like you've given finding your FW a good go!

@cupcakesandglitter do you know when you ovulated?

@purplestar9 you could always give it a go tonight just for luck Hope all was ok with your hospital appt.

Thanks for all the positive vibes guys. My boobs are starting to feel a bit sore but that could just be AF approaching. Managed to hold off testing this morning. Willpower...

@Flapjackered I am so jealous of your Italian food fest. It's the best.
