New thread ladies ❤️

@Penguino888 heyyyyyy :) xx

@Penguino888 hey lovely lady! Good luck and welcome to the madhouse 😂

Welcome @Penguino888 10 days is still ok from what I've read. Wishing you luck for the weekend xx

Hey @Penguino888 sorry I checked the other thread first, glad you found this one 😂 xx

Looks like it's just me with the water then 🙈 if I drink normal water my pee is too diluted, I have to restrict it when I'm testing otherwise I get nothing xx

@Delilah7 have you tested? Also have you heard back from docs?

@GDOG35 sorry if I've read it wrong, did you have EWCM earlier today? Get DTD tonight if possible!!!! You may have just missed your surge idk? Xx

@BambiOnIce80 you put me to shame 😂 @sunshine1987 when I had my EWCM it was yellow tinged, I had to have a quick sniff because I was scared it was an infection 😭 I've not had one before though so I had no idea if it should smell without having to sniff it? Idk 😂😂

Welcome @catcupcakes - I see you love cake too ;) xx

@cupcakesandglitter I’ve message my husband to say it’s on again later

@cupcakesandglitter seems to be faint nothing strong... not yet hun xx

Hi everyone,

I am super new to TTC, this will be my first cycle. I've been tracking my cycles in a couple of different apps and they're all saying different OV days.

I tried the OV strips and I couldn't get a positive, although I wasn't testing first pee of the day as instructed.. so maybe that was it.

Advice welcome! I'm quite daunted by the prospect of "actively trying" because of so many friends and stories here that have struggled :-(

Hey @Josico58 it's definitely a little daunting but also (might be just me) super interesting too to learn what the hell your body is doing each month! For OPKs its usually best to test after 10am, your OPKs might say on the pack the best times, then test throughout the day. I usually test when i get home from work. For me I get a bit of a line that gets darker so i try and test more often til i get the positive.

If you're not sure when it is its probably an idea to start really early in your cycle and keep going for a bit. It should be around 14 days before your next period but everyone's different. I take my temperature every morning too which helps show that ovulation actually happened. Best of luck to you! xx

@cupcakesandglitter same, I have to restrict water too for a few hours before. Also if I just tested in the evening I don’t think I’d necessarily find my positive, I only seem to find it in the afternoons x

Hi @Josico58 I'm feeling the same! It's quite daunting. This is my first cycle ttc x

@GDOG35 yeeeeeees 😏

@Delilah7 okay Hun, keep us updated xx

@sunshine1987 Yepp same here! I've never had a positive before, now I know why! X

I've been temping this month (a couple at a different time and a couple with less sleep) but my chart is WHACKY. It's now making me doubt whether I even ovulated even though I had EWCM 😭😭 I cant even show you ladies because I've uploaded too many pictures today apparently 😭

@BambiOnIce80 I didn't go into details of what exactly she was sniffing. Maybe it was just the grown bacteria in the petri dish. But nonetheless, it still came outta someone and not any less gross. I don't think I could work in that kind of lab.

I just realized I never officially joined the list. We're TTC#1 since May when I had my coil removed after 8.5 years of not having a period. It came back within three weeks and since then my cycles were 31, 34, 24, 24. By the looks of it this month, it'll be 24 again, although I'm starting the TWW today, or more like twelve day wait. Not sure why it shortened like that, it used to be 30.

Welcome, newbies!

@Josieco58 I’m finding it daunting too. I keep getting random thoughts of ‘what if I can’t get pregnant?!’.... I’m only on cycle 2 and have no logical reason to think I won’t be able to get pregnant!

So doctor rang. She thinks I need to have my blood test next week for the pancreas and blood cells. She said that it can take 3 months for me to stop irregular bleeding or whatever. She also said if anything comes up in my blood test I will probably have to have a scan.

FUCK SAAAAAAAAAAKE.

Hi ladies, need to catch up on thread but also need your help?
So I'm due AF in 4-5 days according to two apps I'm using. Today I have had pink when I wipe when going to the toilet, which I've never had before. Cracking headache and slight cramps but not like normal af cramps. Done some googling, could this be implantation bleeding or am I just kidding myself?

OK @Delilah7, breathe 😤 You're getting over a nasty infection and a MC, so I know it's frustrating but be kind to your body and yourself 💖 No reason that you won't get pregnant quickly - they just need to keep a close eye on you to make sure you're recovering properly.x

@MrsC87, how many dpo are you? Light early bleeding sounds hopeful for ib🤞🍀

I'm 11dpo @BambiOnIce80 x

I think implantation can happen as late as 10dpo, so definitely sounding hopeful @MrsC87 🙂x

Pizza was super tasty last night 😀 sorry i made everyone fancy it 😂
I need to fully catch up on the last page (this thread moves FAST) might be busy tonight tho 😉 I have just got positive opk and static smiley! (Was trying to upload the photo but still won't let me upload anything, phone just keeps freezing each time I try!) haha am very happy cause this means ovulation will be happening on cd18, the earliest yet! (Last few months have been cd20) fingers crossed this is gearing up to a longer luteal phase 😀

Totally outing myself here, but heading to Sheffield for my (hopefully last) postgrad medical exam.

Great distraction from the TWW!

DH turns 30 on Saturday - I'll be 10 dpo and doing a FRER then!

Good luck @ValidUser I'm sure you will do amazing! Do let us know how it goes 🤞🤞xx

@MrsC87 sounds promising hun.... 😍

@BambiOnIce80 I'm never this impatient but I am now I'm not in control of something.... just stressing me out. Got family crap and arguements going to be happening soon and I'm ready to blow!!! Xx

@RanchoRelaxo have fun ;) hehe xx

@ValidUser Good luck darling you'll smash it xx

How impatient am I? Me and my partner says let's come of pill and see what happens... first TWW and I'm climbing the walls to see the outcome, need to try and relax xx

@catcupcakes we were all the same 🙈

@sunshine1987 thank god 😂 xx the problem is I've not even told my man how much I'm obsessing 🙈
