Hi ladies.
Can I ask, what are your telltale signs that you are ovulating??
The pee sticks don't seem to work for me. According to them, I never ovulate. Have tried using them for the last couple of months & again this month.. used over 40 sticks!
My temp doesn't really seem to increase either.
I don't get much CM. I try to study it closely (gross I know!!) but it never seems to be remotely like 'egg whites'. What else should I be doing / looking out for?

Oh and hi @Blueflower22! Ah, sorry about AF, that sucks. Sad I'm crossing my fingers for 2019 babies for us all!! 💕

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 00:19

thanks @PastaSauceHoarder - @lucky88 -have you been to your GP they can check your hormone levels and stuff and may be able to tell you when you are due to ovulate? You usually ovulate two weeks to the day before you bleed so if you are regular you can work it out! It is possible but very unusual to bleed without ovulating xxx

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 00:20

Good luck girlies off to York tomorrow so I'll probably check in when I get back let you know how I get on when AF due!! Fingers crossed for you all need some BFPs!!!!

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:12

@Mfbroome hi, good you found us! I’m pleased you had a good Christmas, it went so fast didn’t it?! The skiing sounds great and it sounds like your dd is doing amazing!
Oh that sounded tough with what you went through, exactly thankgod formula is there for when we need it.
I’m gutted dh forgot to buy me the lidle chocolate baileys for Christmas lol and I’ve never been in there to pick up a bottle lol.
Oh are you sure you’re out this month? It’s not over until AF arrives so you still have a chance! ✨✨✨👍🏼😃

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:15

@MummyBearBoo oh I love York! Have a great time and hope you don’t get AF!! 👍🏼😃✨

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:19

@Scarletrose18 haha yes the bribing always works lol. It says my tests are supposed to arrive between 4th and 5th January but I’m hoping they’ll come early. I just want them to arrive in time, just wish they had have been on prime! How are you today? Have you any signs of AF? Hoping you were just having implantation spotting! 😃✨👍🏼

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:29

@PastaSauceHoarder oh no hope you’re not out this month. I’ve been drinking alittle over Christmas too but nothing heavy so I’m the same. I haven’t drank to excess or anything just abit here and there but it would have been too early to have made a difference I think as I’m only 6dpo today. I’m going to have a drink tonight too but again nothing heavy or strong. I don’t drink a lot now at the best of times lol I don’t have the tolerance I used to and always like to be on the ball with ds as he can get up in night. The joys of motherhood lol but I wouldn’t change it for the world! We’re going buffet tonight and few drinks and tomorrow i’ll cook a big New Years dinner (similar to Christmas one but with chicken instead of turkey) and we’ll have that and indulge for the last time before fitness and healthy eating starts! 🤣I have way too many Christmas chocolate on the top of my fridge I’m trying to ration them out in order of expiry dates! So far since Christmas Day I’ve polished off half a big box of toffee-fee (dh has a couple), a bag of m and s cookie dough bites and a Galaxy ripple out of selection box! Really not good!!

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:30

How about you what will you be doing for new year? 🍾✨👍🏼😃

MummyB thats crazy!! And really scary. Prob quite relieved that she was ok but im sure in the back of your mind its still a worry. Anoying for you that they gave you no diagnosis. Hopefully that was the one and only time that it will happen. Enjoy your trip.

@mfbroome I knew I made 8 year old up 😂🤣. Probably a great skill for her to learn as helps with balance, core strength etc. She will be super fit. My body could really do with a good ski work out for a few months... its been a bit more wobbily since ds was born lol. The choc bailies is so nice, I was very greatful for the recommendation... make sure u put ice in it when you try it. Will you test again?

@pasta I only have last months period to compare it to, I dont normally spot before but last period I had a tiny pink spotting a day or two after AF so prob still body adjusting. Lovely as that thought is, I think would be too late for implantation now unfortunatley as I am on cd31. Due AF today so just waiting. I want it to be here now so I can start fresh and get focused on Jan ttc. How are you pasta? Will your tests arrive in time for testing?

@bluef how are you? What cd are you on now? You are on your way to a nice fresh cycle and hopefully for a bfp 🙂

@mfbroome You are so naughty lol. I have eaten worse the last few weeks dont worry. But if you are struggling to clear the top of the fridge, post me some and I will help you 😂 I have no plans for tonight, ds got up at 1:30am and didnt go back to sleep until 5am!! 😲😱😨🤯 Then he got up this morning looking all innocent. He is fortunate hes so cute lol. How has your ds been sleeping?

Omg @Scarletrose18 look what’s just arrived through the letterbox after I just relied saying I hope they’ll come early. They must have heard me, how strange I can’t believe it!! I got far too happy about their arrival lol 🤣😊. They look abit different to the pic and are blue instead of pink. We’re yours like this? Hope they’ve not sent me duff ones...Shock

Thanks @Cocobana I hope AF doesn't show up either - I use the My Fitness Pal app coz I need to lose weight - I've lost 12lbs since mid October (I'm just eating less but not cutting anything out tho I'm not a big chocolate fan anyway) and I was impressed to see that I'd not put any weight on over Xmas even tho I know I will have been over my calorie goal everyday! But I still want to lost another 12lbs so got to get back on it now - I think I'll be over tonight coz I'll have a few drinks I'll take it easy tho in case my DD has any problems I'm just terrified in case she has a funny turn again! So I need to be sober-ish - Have a good NYE everyone and let's hope 2019 is good to all of us!!! Xx

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:52

@Scarletrose18 haha I shall do just that! Oh no hope your ds sleeps better, he’s close in age to my ds isn’t he? I’m sure it’s developmental. I finally got ds in his own bed last night at 10pm then he woke up early hours and wanted to be in with us but I can’t complain as this time he sod actually sleep even if it was in our bed! I know they can be little terrors can’t they then they give you that cute little look and it makes you melt! My ds has me wrapped around his little finger.

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 10:52

he did* not he sod lol

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 11:00

@MummyBearBoo well done you that’s amazing you’ve done great! I wish I wasn’t keen on chocolate, I don’t tend to eat too much or try not to unless i’m Pmsing or over Christmas! Therefore I have indulged alittle over the festive season, back to cutting down in new year! Hope your dd is okay? I think I’ve missed a message. Oh yes it’s not worth it we need to be soberish like you say when have little ones to watch out for, I only ever get alittle merry, i just can’t take the risk of getting more than that and wouldn’t want to. Have a fantastic new year, 2019 can you believe it!! 👍🏼🥂🍾😃✨

Yaay 🙌 @coco No thats the right ones, same as mine. I think the pic on site is an old pic just as they have been selling them for years.
They are great for no evap lines or anything. Very stark white where the second line should be.... which is good (well its bad lol but no false positives if u know what I mean)

They know exactly what they are doing, little monsters lol

@Scarletrose18 that’s great, I’m so pleased they’re here early, I hate evap lines and pink smudges with avengence so it’s fantastic that they aren’t prone to them. How are you today? Any signs of AF? I’m feeling like I’ll
be out this month as it’s only cycle #2 and i reckon it’ll be too good to be true to happen this quickly after last time!
Haha they certainly do, ds manipulates me everyday and I fall for it lol... 😊

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 11:42

I know 2019 I'm sure having children just makes time go soooo fast - the first 12 weeks of pregnancy seem to take ages then it seems to go so fast - I feel like I've blinked and she's nearly 3! The 2ww also seems to take forever every month! Xxx

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 12:00

Think I could be out gone to loo and there is a darker discharge sorry if TMI so think AF is starting earlier than expected!! 😢 xx

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 12:04

Don't think it can be implantation bleeding because I don't usually get that and I'm 12dpo! Best luck to everyone still in!

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 12:35

@MummyBearBoo oh no sorry af making an appearance. Hope 2019 is your year instead! ✨🍾😃✨ x Flowers

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 12:39

I don't know why it's early tho coz OPK was positive 12 days ago so usually AF would come 14 or 15 days after that not two or three days early!! I know it's not implantation bleeding but just for future reference what is it like and how long does it last? Xx
