@cookiewaffle yaaay! Exciting times!
@bettyhop oh I am so pleased for you, congratulations!! you must be over the moon but I can understand why cautious. I am sure it will all be fine this time - the holiday obviously helped! Do you think you conceived on hol or before?
@fivexfive I know right? Naked is the way to be. @flapjackered seriously... try it. You just have to be bold and just do it. I went for actually a few years just hinting in the hope he would come on to me (I've always been under confident in the bedroom) and I've discovered that actually, unless he is already horny, no amount of subtle leg brushing, lingering kisses or touching gets the message through. Getting naked sometimes is required to spell it out. And as long as you are confident about it and take control, likelihood of him saying no? Zero. Guarantee it.

Tell me you'll try naked???
Ladies do you agree? 😁😁😁

Crossfitgirl · 14/09/2018 21:14

Yessssss @stormtrooperjulian 😁

Crossfitgirl · 14/09/2018 21:16

@flapjackered I usually then go and straddle him and if he's still not sure, I take his hand and place it on my boob.

Be bold!!

CookieWaffle · 14/09/2018 21:28

For me he usually puts one hand on a boob and if I don't punch him straight away he thinks it might be on Grin

FlapJackered · 14/09/2018 21:38

@Crossfitgirl I wish I had your confidence! I will definitely get naked tomorrow morning - and I won't take no for an answer!
I am better when I have had a few 🍸 but trying to cut down on the alcohol this cycle!

FlapJackered · 14/09/2018 21:38

😂 @CookieWaffle I love that!

Delilah7 · 14/09/2018 21:40

Night then guys, guess no one thought my OPK was near positive hahaha. Xx

FlapJackered · 14/09/2018 22:08

@Delilah7 night lovely. Sorry you're still not getting a positive, I am sure it will come soon!
Mine looked exactly the same as yours tonight so not sure I have actually had my positive yet or not, going to keep my fingers crossed for clearblue to come up trumps with a static smiley tomorrow. 🤞🏻for tomorrow for you too 😘

mrsof20118 · 14/09/2018 22:09

@delilah7 missed the pic in all of the other messages. It looks stronger than the last one you posted. Maybe a full positive tomorrow?

ValidUser · 14/09/2018 22:12

OMG congratulations to @Bettyhop and @Hopefull1981! X

ValidUser · 14/09/2018 22:38

Probably out this month - maybe some pmssy spotting a tiny bit and negative FRER (but only 9dpo and not fmu).

Bought a clearblue fertility monitor and on a healthy eating plan from cycle day one ready to go.

Exam over. Time to get spouted now!

KatBeCool · 15/09/2018 05:18

@Delilah7 it'll come. The one in the photo is definitely nowhere near positive. What CD are you on? And when do you normally ovulate?

Crossfitgirl · 15/09/2018 05:57

Sorry @delilah7 got too caught up in sex talk! 😂 mine only get lines like yours in the few days up to ov. Totally blank the rest of the month. Just keep testing til it's positive. Mine varied in darkness too, I guess depending on how much I drink as I'm rubbish at holding it when I need to pee but can't not drink water!

You never know, you might ov later than you think, and ov can also vary depending on the cycle. Are you doing SMEP?

We've managed to DTD twice since weds so I'm quite pleased- gonna try keep up every 2-3 days now til ov for me! Maybe more in the fertile week. A relaxed version of SMEP!

@flapjackered I'm not normally that confident, it does still take me a little while to psych myself up, but the thought of having a baby has made me think more "fuck it, just go for it" :-)

Have a lovely morning 😉

Crossfitgirl · 15/09/2018 06:32

@validuser we are both going on a health kick after hols too, we fly back tonight.
My downfall is always sweet stuff. Are you just gonna eat better or doing any specific kind of diet?
I can't wait to go back to the gym when I get home.
I've not been for about a month now which is unheard of for me!

Lougg · 15/09/2018 07:33

Congratulations @Bettyhop & @Hopefull1981 so exciting for you!!

Thanks for all the congratulations guys. Moving day went swimmingly. I'm now away with all my family.

AF has arrived in full force. In fact in such force there is a spot on the fresh white sheets 😳. Any tips on getting it out? We're staying in a rental cottage.

Delilah7 · 15/09/2018 07:46

@FlapJackered hope you get one today hun!! 😘😘 getting bored now hahaha.

@mrsof20118 I hope so but who knows :(

@KatBeCool cd15 and normally around 13/14 based on ovulation pain and EWCM but I've had no CM st all this month....

@Crossfitgirl I'm trying to but tbh I'm just doing it when we both want to. I'm getting more relaxed this month as I think I'm defo not in with a chance so let's just do it whenever. 😂😂😂

FlapJackered · 15/09/2018 07:55

Arg!! What is going on?! Temp rise to 36.59 but no static smiley (still flashing 🙄) and now negative opk this morning.
So confused as to whether I have ovulated or not?!

@Delilah7 have you done one this morning?

FlapJackered · 15/09/2018 07:58

So confused! FF is saying I ovulated back on cd16 but that was before (what I thought was) a positive IC opk. Also I had creamy CM. I just don't want them to take my blood next week and say I am not ovulating when it's just a weird month and I am ovulating later.

@delilah7 fingers crossed lovely, we need to get you back to feeling empowered with it all again!

Tried to do the whole sexy thang last night after my positive, we were both tipsy and it did not work well lol, not even going to bother counting it as sex lol 🙈

Delilah7 · 15/09/2018 08:57
