Happy Friday everyone! 😀 Looking forward to a beer tonight 😂

Sorry about AF CrossFitgirl get on the gin Gin short lp suck, I would love to have a 'regular' 2ww, half the waiting is spent wondering what day af is actually going to turn up at, rushing to the loo to check and taking sanitary stuff everywhere with me just incase 😂
Poodlepip another in the short lp club 👎 have either of you guys taken anything to try and lengthen it? Have been taking vitamin C last cycle and this one, waiting to see if it's had any affect this month, last month my LP was one day longer than usual, but that could have been just coincidence 🤷‍♀️

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's tests this weekend, hopefully some bfps!

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 07:26

@RanchoRelaxo how you feeling xxx

OP posts:
RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 07:33

Am good thank you Delilah7 feeling much more relaxed this cycle, don't know why but just feeling I can't really do anything more than I am doing, so why worry about something I cant change! After 7/8 cycles I guess it will just happen when it happens Smile
How are you? X

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 07:39

@RanchoRelaxo good attitude to have. I'm ok thank you. Wondering if ovulation is coming earlier as my tummy just feels slightly strange... so gonna keep doing the OPKS this month just to make sure I know when I'm ovulating and then leave them be! Xx

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 07/09/2018 08:00

I'm the same as you @RanchoRelaxo this cycle - oddly relaxed because there really isn't anything else to try! 😄

@Delilah7 I'm so glad you got a DTD under your belt (so to speak 😜)! You know you can get pregnant without the OPK's help, but it'll be good for you to know your body better by finding out what ovulation date is normal for you... then put the OPK's down! 😂 Don't get me wrong, I think they're a god send for those of us who's ovulation dates leap around (unless you're some higher being who can manage SMEP every cycle, then why bother?!), but if yours stay the same each month, then they're a bit unnecessary. And I definitely want an FB friend request from you once there are baby pictures to see 💖😉

@cupcakesandglitter I full-on balled my eyes out at the redneck margarita guy!! 😭 There's rumour that they'll be doing a British season and my DP is desperate for me to nominate him for it 😂

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 08:04

@BambiOnIce80 I think I'm more on edge due to the MC now with my ovulation date. Like you said I've got pregnant without them before and I know I can do again. I guess I just wasn't some reassurance this month! Of course!!!

If we all could actually meet up and arrange some time how would you guys all feel if we could do that? is that something you'd be interested in?? Xx

OP posts:
RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 08:13

Delilah7 I find them really helpful cause my ov date changes most months, if you are unsure of the results just put a picture on here then we can help 👍 just remember don't use fmu on them, our bodies don't make that hormone during the night so can give unreliable results (apparently the best time to test is between 8am and 10pm) good luck 😀

Crossfitgirl · 07/09/2018 08:13

@ranchorelaxo I've been taking boots conception support starting this cycle, it has a few multivitamins including B6, but hasn't made any difference so far.
I've heard agnus castus can bring ovulation forward but I'm reluctant to try it yet. Maybe I will if my LP is this short again. How long is yours?

Just to play even more tricks on me, AF appears to have disappeared today! I had a bit of bright red blood yesterday, so thought i was in AF full whack, but now it's like it's gone back to spotting.

Temp has dropped though so I know it's not an IB. My boobs though. STILL ACHE!!

So confused.

RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 08:14

We say this now Bambi.. wait untill we are in 2ww am sure I will be different then 😂😂

Crossfitgirl · 07/09/2018 08:15

@delilah7 I think it'd be difficult due to us all being all over the UK. I kinda like the anonymity... I almost have a little imaginary picture of what you all look like! Lol

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 08:21

@RanchoRelaxo thanks Hun I'll defo post my lot on here Hahahaha.

@Crossfitgirl I kind of agree with you like. Like he mystery 😂😍

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 07/09/2018 08:34

@Crossfitgirl, sounds like you may be needing that FRER tomorrow morning after all... 🤞🍀

@RanchoRelaxo, I know!! 😂 I am fully aware that SSP will be rising from her bed of rags next week, taking a swig from her bottle of JD and begin slowly but surely whispering in my ear 😵

MrsR16 · 07/09/2018 08:35

@Crossfitgirl ah no, what's going on? I hope your body sorts itself out soon... nothing worse than not knowing what to expect. My period's the lightest it's ever been. Been horrendously painful though!

stormtrooperjulian · 07/09/2018 09:07

No sign of af here so far, I keep thinking it’s arrived cos I feel (tmi) damp down there, but nothing, just a lot of brown streaked watery cm / EWCM (varying between the two). It’s starting to annoy me not knowing when to expect af, I was always regular as a teenager but I don’t know if the years of artificial hormones will have changed that! Extra annoying cos I plan to spend most of the next few days in a bikini and I’m going to be constantly paranoid about it. I also have the itchiest mosquito bite ever on my foot which is adding to my annoyed mood 😂 Anyway, sorry for the little rant..... No cramps at the moment but a heavy, pulling feeling really low down. How is everyone today?

@Crossfitgirl I don’t know much about bbt but doesn’t temp drop temporarily during implantation? So it could be that?

cupcakesandglitter · 07/09/2018 09:57

@Delilah7 congrats on DTD!! Delilah is back 😏 I'd be happy to meet up - I do like the mystery but also think it'd be nice to meet too!

@Crossfitgirl @MrsR16 that's exactly what happened to me!! Didn't have a normal period at all! Super super light but the worst pain I've ever had. I don't know why our bodies to this to us 😭😭 x

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 10:02

@cupcakesandglitter getting back in the game ;) x

OP posts:
cupcakesandglitter · 07/09/2018 10:12

@Delilah7 yeeeees 😈😈 what's your plan this month? DTD every other day? @BambiOnIce80 's plan was good xxx

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 10:34

@cupcakesandglitter yep pretty much going to try :) I feel like ovulations coming so reckon it will defo be early this month xxx

sunshine1987 · 07/09/2018 11:02

CD8 today, going to get on the SMEP again this month so gearing myself up. Haven’t told hubby as I think I nearly killed him last month with it 😉

Trying to put less pressure on myself this month so staying away from the apps and writing it down and will assess myself rather than watching for it to tell me which day I ovulate

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 11:29

@sunshine1987 good idea darling! Xxx

BabySquid · 07/09/2018 12:14

Guys help! I can feel myself getting too excited about POAS tomorrow!! I can't work myself up like this! Please someone calm me! (I don't know how tho!)

BambiOnIce80 · 07/09/2018 12:36

Nothing wrong with being excited @BabySquid 🤞 Is AF due tomorrow or are you testing early?
