@PastaSauceHoarder you definitely have to stay, I would get that clear blue digital out (the one that tells you the number of weeks) and test tomorrow as you’ll feel so much better.

@scarletrose18 ooo not long until you’re opking, I’m like you and really hoping I’m ovulating a lot earlier this month and hoping my 28 days cycle is a good sign that my body is getting back to normal. I reckon you’re earlier ewcm is a great sign! I’m cd4 today and looking like af will be gone by early tomorrow.

@mfbroome good to have you back, I’m hoping for this cycle for all of us, me, we’re all in similar place in our cycles too, fingers crossed for baby dust in January ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

@Scarletrose18 sorry I'm cd7 now! I was gonna say I got that wrong as I know ur day ahead of me 😂🙈
I am waiting for my new opks they come tomo, but I do have a few left from last cycle. I think I'll start tomo, I know straight after my AF last cycle I had quite dark lines and it Defo threw me off 😂 but I know I should be expecting something positive around cd17? Ish? What cd did u get your + opk???

Yeah it's pretty cool @coco we're all in the sane stage, forgive me if I fall behind on messages I don't seem to get many notifications 🤷🏼‍♀️

What's the latest @PastaSauceHoarder any darker today xxx

I reckon having a 28 cycle last month was a great sign that you're back to normal @Cocobana, they say it takes a while for the pill to leave your system doesn't it? Its probably definitely all out now! When are you due to ovulate? I think you were a couple of days ahead of me last cycle.
Fingers crossed your AF goes by tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Have you gone for the same OPKs as last time, @Mfbroome? I hope your little ones settled back to school okay! I work in a school so I'm also back today unfortunately! ☹
What CD did you eventually ovulate after having the positive after your AF?

Here's my latest; I think its definitely my BFP! I'm pregnant!! ❤

@pasta yaaay, that looks like a great strong line now! 🙂 How do you feel about it now? Hope your feeling happier and excited now! Has your dh accepted its + now too?

@mfbroome i got mine in cd18 last cycle and the month before as well and iv had a 31 day cycle. Its really strange but because im on 31 days my cd is the same as whatever the date is last cycle and this one!! e.g today is the 8th and im on cd8 lol and I ovulated on cd18 both months which was on the 18th November and 18th Dec. Does that make sense?? ha ha. Its the only positive to this long cycle and late ovulating is it makes it easier to track things. lol. You are super close then to me, we should ov around same time. I started my opks today and there was a decent line (nowhere near a positive but a good negative lol)

@cocobana thats great that your almost the same in your cycle too, we could all be ovulation buddies together this cycle. What cd did you ov on last cycle? Would be amazing if u had early ovulation too this cycle 😊 and hopefully we will get our bfp and join pasta soon

@mummyb and @blueflower how are you guys doing? What cd are you both on now? x

@PastaSauceHoarder yay!!!! That’s a fantastic line now pasta I bet you’re elated! How are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet? God getting pregnant is incredible isn’t it, babies are such little miracles. I’m on cd4 and I’m hoping to ovulate closer to cd14 especially since my cycle back to 28 days.

@mfbroome That’s okay I don’t always get the notifications either and when I do get then they’re way later than they were sent 😃👍🏼

@scarletrose18 I ovulated cd17 or 18 last cycle and hoping for alittle earlier this cycle. Did you ovulate around the same time last cycle? I hope we both get earlier opks. I know it’s so cool, I hope it’s a good sign that we’re all close together and that we all get bfps this cycle! It would be lovely if we all joined pasta and could rename this thread appropriately! ✨✨✨👍🏼😃

Cd18 last cycle too @coco but the strong negative I got today I dont usually get until a bit closer to ovulation so really hoping that I also get early (or normal like we used to have around cd14) ovulation. We will see what happens but with that the cm and u having a 28 day cycle I think its good signs for us so far... wont be long begore you get to put all those pg tests to good use lol 🙂

We're over the moon. It really is a dream come true for us. DH is particularly proud of himself, haha!
We're allowing ourselves to feel really happy but we're definitely cautious. I know that theres so much that can go wrong this early... I suppose we can only take it one day at a time!

Those are definitely good signs with the CM and the 28 day cycles, @Scarletrose18 and @Cocobana!! I've got my fingers crossed tight for a juicy ripe egg for you both this month! 🤞🏻🥚
It really helps having cycle buddies doesn't it, I can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings for us. 2019 will definitely be ours, ladies!! 💛

@Scarletrose18 haha exactly i’m pleased I’m well stocked up! I’ll have to check my opk levels but reckon I should be good for this cycle at least. Have you still been watching teen mom OG? If so isn’t Bristol’s ex alittle strange? I know he had the ptsd but he seems very bad tempered and I know you can’t tell as we see what they want is to see but I don’t think he’s treated her very nice at all. I’m done a lot of walking today but ate some more of my choccy which is alittle counterproductive but I’ve not been too bad on the whole. I’ve been looking at this extra time as an opportunity to get in shape after Christmas, at least one positive thing anywua...

anyway*

@PastaSauceHoarder aww bless ya, well I’m so happy for you both and your little family! It’s amazing and it’s great that’s it’s happened quickly for you too. Oh yes I remember feeling like that and was happy once I’d had the scan. You’re young and healthy so you’ll be fine.

The egg isn’t the problem I don’t think I think it’s all the other factors lol 🤣 well we shall see in time. I’m just relaxed this month and enjoying getting well ‘attempting’ to get in shape after Christmas. I’m just enjoying ds and doing things with him. Oh yeah it’s def helps, I don’t know what I’d do without this thread it’s definitely kept me sane! 👍🏼✨😃

@coco yes been watching it. I cant decide about him... im not sure if he is a good guy who doesnt deal with things well and Bristol and everyone else painting him in a bad light or like you said hes a bit nuts. But then there was an episode the other day and he was babysitting his kids and giving them a bath then taking them out and dh and I bith said awk he is such a good dad. Lol. So im undecided on him.
I have walked alot today too, after work with ds and then when dh got home from work. I feel like im excited for fertile time this cycle but im worried about a bfn and AF arriving again... i think because I got so hopeful last month. Think ill try holding my legs in the air after ddt this cycle 😂🤣

@Scarletrose18 oh I do see what you mean. He’s a great dad no doubt about that and definitely has a nice side to him. He just seemed abit aggressive and controlling, when she said about him treating her like a queen from afar but then changing behind closed doors I think I can believe Although like you say it could be people painting him in a bad light. That’s the trouble with those shows we just see what they want us to.
Exactly it’s certainly a rollercoaster of emotions this ttc malarkey. Hopefully it won’t take too many months. I really don’t want to get my hopes up this cycle either as like you I did last month. This is my third cycle and I have to be prepared that it may not happen for awhile and who knows how long it potentially could take. I feel abit more relaxed about things this month though and as much as I want another baby what will be will be. I’m just going to enjoy ds and try not to fixate on it too much but easier said than done. And 🤣 I’ll def be doing the whole legs in air as worth a try! Don’t hey say if you DTD twice in a row it increases your chances too? May try that as well lol

they*

What are we like... wee tv critics here. Think we need new jobs writing for the gossip column 😂🤣

I know, thats why I think although it was great to concieve super quick last time, it kind of builds up your expectations that everytime will be the same....anyway, I shouldnt complain, I have one healthy beautiful ds and this is only 2nd proper cycle trying, so plenty of time yet...Im just impatient. Need to count my blessings more.

Yes dtd lots helps too. Lol. So legs in the air and dtd more is the plan for Jan. And healthy eating and more vitamins. Lets do this (motivation voice) 💪👊😊

@Scarletrose18 I know that’s what I say but we haven’t even been trying very long this time have we so we can’t complain at all. I guess having more than one cycle ttc is just new to us!
I’m liking the motivational slogan ‘lets do this!’ lol we can do it! Stick an ‘Eye of the tiger’ theme tune in the background of that and we’re good to go. We honestly are wasted and should be working in tv 🤣
On a serious note it does affect you but we just have to reneged this is only cycle 3 for me and cycle 2 for you so still very early indeed. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

remember*

Af finished yesterday so now I’ll relax abit before I start taking opks. I’m trying not to mention it much to dh too as I don’t want him to feel pressured as well.

I'm dying at the gym for the first time in 2 weeks didn't go over Xmas and I can so
tell!!

Is int watch that but I've heard good things! Maybe I'll give it a go!
I'm taking a relaxed approach this cycle too @Cocobana I keep telling myself to keep remembering I've been blessed with 2 gorgeous children and not stress 😂 anyway I started opk today, same as u @Scarletrose18 A nice strong negative 😂😂 I've found testing first thing is better for me actually... last cycle I followed instructions for second wee... but I workout first thing so by the time I've been to the gym and drunk tons of water I get back and it's so diluted.
Im not telling dh this month about ovulation, he told me to just take charge as he finds it a bit too much or a pressure lol 😂😂 so I'm going to have to work my magic 😂😂
Be more natural I think 🙈 I was a ttc monster last month 😆

@MummyBearBoo go in girl! It's not easy when u have xmas off is it 🙈
But won't be long before your back to the routine xx

Thanks @Mfbroome I managed to do my full 1 hour workout - Just!! 50 mins cardio 10 mins strength - I'll start do OPKs on Sunday that is CD14 - when I last got pregnant I must have ovulated about then but then the month before last was CD22 and last month was CD26 so I need to do OPKs just so I know when I'm ovulating!! Fingers crossed for everyone doing OPKs sooner!! Xx

@Mfbroome aww I know but even if you have dc it doesn’t make it any less harder when you’re wishing for another. I appreciate ds so much but still would love a sibling for him.
I’m not looking into the opks at this stage being a sign of earlier ovulation because I finished af yesterday and today is cycle 5 and I took an opk and it was a good negative. The only thing is I had the same thing last cycle however but then they went blank and then built up again and I still got a later ovulation. I think only time will tell. I won’t do opks again until a couple of days time I don’t think. Ttc monster 🤣 haha I was the same and this month I just feel more relaxed and like I’ll dtd when in the mood and not force it so much.
