BFP Winter Wonderland, full of babydust and positive thoughts on the journey to our BFP.

Thread two for TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

@Carastarchild you have definitely given it your all hun. Well done. We have done almost the same. I'm worn out though and she is just showering and coming for me 😴. Tonight is the last me for me. Im having a rest tomorrow lol.

@ChikiTIKI can you possible stay awake or set an alarm for when she home? Think you've timed b'ding well hun. Tonight would be the icing on the cake

@ChikiTIKI if it's any consolation I didn't bd last night as was too tired. Hope I haven't ruined things for this month

Do you know what, we put some much pressure on ourselves...we have done enough, we are enough, and we will succeed ✨💜✨

The main thing is that there is sperm waiting for the egg 🤞🤞🤞I think we have all ensured that 😊

DH is working late tonight, and it's our no sex day, so we will dtd again tomorrow....then do it whenever we feel it 🤣

My cbfm gave me a high reading today.

Did anyone ever order lingerie from love honey? I was going to spice things up for DH and I 😉

Well there was no icing on my cake last night lol !!! Never mind....

Had cramps all afternoon. Not sure what that's about. Will DTD tonight anyway. Cervix still being weird too.

@Carastarchild no I haven't from there. I think I have ordered a vibrator from there before though and couldn't complain about the service. Don't know what the lingerie is like though.

Hi ladies 😁 I'm now pill free again after my wedding and back to TTC (yay!) Cd15 here but my cycles seem to be really bloody short so I'm expecting something (AF or BFP) in next 10 days. Hope it's our month 😁🤞

Hi @PineappleC !! How was your honeymoon? Hope it was great!

Ooh that 4 of us testing around Valentine's Day now then! :) xxxxx

Welcome to the valentines gang @PineappleC :-).

Is it me or or ovulation reeealllly tiring! Since Friday I have struggled with staying awake after 9pm lol ...I'm awake now if course but got really tired around then. I'm usually a midnight sleeper

Yes ovulation makes me tired too...

I think AF has arrived.... :(

So I've either had a 16 day then a 13 day cycle or that bleeding in between was not a period... :(

Chiki, maybe it's just bleeding from ovulation! That's quiet common and normal. I had red spotting on Monday. It's gone now.

I'm officially in the TWW! See my Fertility friend chart.

I'm exhausted as well 😴 It's probably from the progesterone surge.

Congrats @Carastarchild me too! And I'm also soooooo tired! Sorry you feel tired but in a way I'm
Glad it sounds normal xx

Noooo @ChikiTIKI :-(. Fingers crossed it's simply ovulation bleeding xx

Thanks @Carastarchild and @BLS1983 I think one of these last two "periods" was possibly not a period... I don't know....

Does ovulation bleeding happen sometimes quite a few days after? Hmm... I think it's too much blood for that even though I would say it's a very light period.

I think I'm going to have to go back to DTD every other day and scrap the SMEP as I have no idea where I am in my cycles any more.

Awww @ChikiTIKI I do understand. My cycles are so whacky and two months ago I bled lightly for 10 days!? Go figure. Anyway my friend threw a fertility monitor at me and now not only do I know where I peak but I am much more relaxed. They are expensive so if you know someone who can lend you one or even buy one second hand that may be a good idea for you? Xx

Does anyone ever wonder what the people we are chatting to look like? :-)

Hmm yeah I will consider that thanks @BLS1983

Haha I don't normally think about what everyone looks like but for some reason I imagine you like in the US, @Carastarchild !! No idea why I think that as you've never mentioned where you live.

Interesting thought... I wonder what vibes I give off and what image people create in their minds when reading my MN posts! :)

Hi ladies!

CD14 and got my peak on bbt today, so ovulation due tomorrow for me. Kept forgetting to use the OPKs, so never got a positive. CD15 would be back to normal for me after a few odd cycles so I'm inclined to trust it. Looks like I'm a few days behind you all for our BFPs 💜

Had my colposcopy today and the doctor told me I have a healthy cervix so no need for a biopsy! Woo! She's written a note back to the GP to say I've got the all clear for fertility testing.

I had a really strange light bleed around ovulation last cycle @chikitiki which is why I was referred for the colposcopy. The doctor told me today that she couldn't find a reason for the bleed and it could have just been cervical irritation or vaginal dryness from having such frequent sex. Apparently it's quite common for women ttc.

Hope you're all well xx

Hi @LondonKez ! Lovely to hear from you and to hear your good news :)

I think this is definitely AF... I am happy to try again this cycle but I am going to be so frustrated if I get another period in 2 weeks! This has happened 3 times now :/

Not sure I will bother with OPKs unless I get loads of EWCM since my cycles are so off.

Do you know how long your fertility testing referral will take? Xxxx

Hi All. Fx to those of you testing next week.

Glad to hear the good news about the colposcopy @LondonKez. Hope you get an early appointment for fertility testing.

Welcome back @PineappleC. Hope you had a fab wedding and honeymoon.

@Chiki hope your cycles get back to normal soon

I've just had my peaks so am in 2ww. After a slightly long one last month, my cycle seems to be back to usual 28 days. If it doesn't happen for us this month am going to look into some private testing to see if anything' amiss. In the meantime, am off to Bombay Sapphire gin distillery on Sunday . I need it after this week at work!

Have good weekends all xx

Thanks @38notcounting. Enjoy your Gin tour!

I am feeling more optimistic and hopeful today. This period is quite heavy (for me) as was the first one after my MC so I think the 3 day light period in between was actually heavy ovulation bleeding. Maybe my hormones dipped or something I am not sure.

I was quite worried I suddenly have 2 week cycles but think I probably don't. Hoping this month is normal :)

I held a beautiful 9 week old baby last night and she smiled at me so many times!!!!! :)

Hoping this month is the month!! Xxxx

Thanks very much ladies :-)

@Chiki we had a lovely honeymoon thanks. After all the stress of the wedding it was so nice to just getaway with just the two of us there. Feel loads more relaxed now!!

@38 Bombay sapphire tour sounds amazing!

It is funny that we don't know what anyone looks like. I guess I picture ppl here based on usernames :-) I also wonder whether I'm ever chatting to ppl I know in real life!

I'm on cd19 now, feeling knackered, and a dull ache/stitch sensation which I'm afraid feels very similar to pre AF. I guess it's the first month after the pill, even though I was only on pill for a month, so I wasn't expecting too much, and feel much less crazy than when I came off the pill in Oct!

Not long to go now until us in the Valentine's club can start testing! 😁

Hi ladies,

Work was rough for a few days, so I literally felt annoyed with it all. I needed to try to totally detach from everything. 38 I think you get what I am saying 😔

I have had the most horrible lower back pain today 7dpo 😫

How is everyone else doing?

Wouldn't it be great if Mumsnet allowed us to have profile avatars 😊
