New thread ladies ❤️

@catcupcakes of course, welcome 😊

Thanks @sunshine1987 great to have some support. I'm currently 4 dpo on my first cycle so everything is new to me

@Delilah7 on second thoughts restricting water on a few days isn't going to be bad for you, i was just thinking for me it could be 2+ weeks of doing that which is not soooo healthy!

Welcome @catcupcakes 😁

@Flapjackered yeah the smiley face, getting fed up with it flashing at me!! I’m CD 20, my periods a usually quite regular maybe a day or 2 late, the other month I was like 4 days late. Keep feeling heavy in my lower abdomen & the odd twing. I guess this is a good place rant then to you ladies?? thanks for the reply

@catcupcakes oooo in the 2WW, exciting!!!

Thanks ladies

@GDOG35 oh yeah rant away! I was ready to throw the damn thing out of the window!
I would stick with it for a while as it most likely will go static. It maybe just you're ovulating a bit later this month for whatever reason. I am on day three of the 'O' so we can rant together!

@sunshine1987 think I’m confusing myself, this is first time I’ve really looked into all this. Sorry its flashy smiley face for 9 days, sorry Hun I’m getting myself muddled doesn’t take a lot to get me muddled xx

@Flapkackered I mean I have had abit of stress & 2 weeks ago I had a migraine attack for the first time & I was in bed for a week & given medication for that, so that could be a factor. Everyone morning I’m like ‘just hurry up already’!!!

@GDOG35 aw no they’re bloody confusing! I only remember as I did a product test for clearblue so know the things inside out now lol. Just didn’t want you worrying about the LH surge bit. Hopefully if you’ve got EWCM you’ll get your positive soon xx

@sunshine1987 fingers crossed, you can’t tell your body how to be at the end of day. I just don’t know what’s normal or not normal you know. I’ll just keep going. At least I’ve seen my doctor, she told me not to worry but said the blood tests are a good thing to do as I’m 35 so she said if anything was to be picked up I’ve come early to investigate things xxxx

@GDOG35 won’t do any harm to do the blood tests at all, if anything will give you some peace of mind or help you move forward. Let us know what happens xx

@sunshine1987 I will do, thanks for listening to me, nice to have somewhere to chat & rant about things xxx

@FlapJackered I love water too so gonna be abit hard to reduce hahaha I just use the ones from amazon babe. I'm hoping I get one soon.

@sunshine1987 okay Hun xx

@catcupcakes Welcome :) xx

Thanks @Delilah7 xx

@FlapJackered @sunshine1987 They perform a "whiff" test during the lab testing (not joking), so if they can sniff other people's stuff, I think we're ok sniffing at least our own.

@katbecool @flapjackered haha they do not? That’s hilarious!!

@sunshine1987 I knew someone who used to work at a lab. Now I can't 100% say they still do it with all modern inventions, but some years ago they did for sure, to smell for infections and all sorts ailments that happen down there. I said the same thing - there's no way you'd be sniffing what came out of someone else. But I guess how else they knew that, for example, yeast infection smelled sour? They had to smell it lol

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry but haven't had chance to fully catch up yet, but just wanted to check in and say hi, send all my love to all of you whether you are in the TWW, fertile window, waiting to DTD, POAS, and to those lovelies that are pg hope all is well.

I am lovely and relaxed waiting for AF to go away so I can have sex!!

Speak to you all soooooon xxx

Welcome @GDOG35 and @catcupcakes!

Hello ladies and welcome newbies 👋

Just going to put my science geek lab coat on and defend the poor microbiology scientists a bit 🤓 When I did my 1 week micro rotation a good 20 years ago nobody was putting their noses anywhere near any manky samples 🤢 Certain bacteria give of very distinctive smells when you grow them in a petrie dish and they might take note of that, but that's about it. Maybe your friend had a bit of a weird fetish @KatBeCool and was disguising it as necessary as part of the job?! I knew very quickly that I couldn't do micro for a job - the sight of sputum alone made me gip 🤢

@bambiOnIce80 I was waiting for you to give your thoughts on that one!

@Delilah7 ref times, i didnt test at all during the day with OPK just when i came in from work, then a couple of hours later, then before bed think the dark ones i got were around 7 / 7.30 without restricting water as I drink a ridiculous amount of water.

@ttcat32 okay that's good to know. Thank you 😘

Hello everyone! 🙋

My stats:
I'm 31
TTC #1
Cycle 5

I came off the implanon rod after 6.5 years in February, got my period back within the first 4 weeks, and have been TTC since May.

My cycle has been varying between 24-28 days but has been 24 days for the last 3 cycles with ovulation on day 14.

I have been a bit worried about the shorter luteal phase being only 10 days, but I think I just scrape through for the minimum.

Currently 7 DPO and trying to remain positive but feeling that AF is inevitable this weekend 😭

Loving reading all of your stories and congratulations to those with the BFP recently! ❤️
