@MummyBearBoo I can’t remember having IB with ds. I don’t think I did. I’ve read it’s pink/brown and very light just when you wipe that can be off and last as little as afew hours but no more than acouple of days. A tell tale sign it’s not AF is that it never gets any heavier and is usually around 9-12 dpo and can be just before you’re due your period. They say some women confuse it for a first period which is why they don’t realise they’re pregnant right away. That’s what I’ve read anyway.

off and on*

MummyBearBoo · 31/12/2018 13:56

At the moment it is just when I wipe but I'm sure it'll start full force soon!! Xx

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 17:31

@MummyBearBoo hope it doesn’t, keep my fingers crossed for you! If it’s not to be though 2019 has to be your year instead!✨✨✨🍾

Scarletrose18 · 31/12/2018 18:01

No AF yet @coco but i dont think I could cope with it arriving right now, I think I have got a bug, had such a headache and have had bad diarrhea today... Sorry tmi. But I feel awful ☹ Havnt had anything like this since our honeymoon in mexico ☹

@MummyB Sorry your having such confusion. I had a random month this month too with late ovulation and longer cycle. Hopefully Jan is a good month for us and we have a nice simple text book 28 day cycle with ovulation on day 14 So things arent quite so complicated next time. lol. How was your trip?

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 18:22

@Scarletrose18 so sorry you’re feeling poorly for new year. That’s a great sign that af hadn’t arrived. Omg before I was pregnant with ds I thought I had a bug and was off work with sickness and diarrhoea! Could this be a sign that you’re pregnant?? ✨✨✨✨👍🏼😃

Scarletrose18 · 31/12/2018 18:39

I would of been going to bed early with a cup of tea anyway after last nights fiasco lol. I tested this morning and was negative @coco

What are you doing tonight? Sorry if you have already said

Have u managed to clear any more of the sweet treats before the healthy eating begins? We are going to try to be good from next year too but dh said about me having a bug "think of the weight you will loose" Talk about positive thinking 🤣
So I expect a skinny body to appear in the next few days 😁

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 20:31

@Scarletrose18 you poor thing hope you feel so much better soon. Hope your dh is on duty for your ds tonight to give you a good rest.
It might not show up yet on the pregnancy test you never know and you still haven’t had af which is a good sign, I have hope for you. When I had my bug symptoms with ds it wouldn’t have shown up on a test yet either.
Haha no I’ve managed to avoid them but we’re having buffet and drinks this evening so abit of a trade off 🤣 and doesn’t do much to lessen the guilt! I always think that when I’m unwell too, I think oh at least I’ll be acouple pounds lighter after this so that’s a positive-it’s terrible us ladies think that way isn’t it!? Men are usually stresses if they miss one meal due to illness aren’t they!

Cocobana · 31/12/2018 20:31

Happy New Year ladies!! Hope 2019 is prosperous in good health, happiness and fertility!! May 2019 be your year for BFP!! xxx ✨✨✨🎉😃🎊✨✨✨

MummyBearBoo · 01/01/2019 11:43

Definitely AF I’m wandering if I was possibly pregnant coz it’s much heavier than normal and it should come 2 weeks after ovulation we would have been Wednesday or later according to the OPK so it shouldn’t really be here yet- I had a few symptoms I get for being pregnant as well - York was good just on our way back now xxx

Mfbroome · 01/01/2019 13:49

Happy new year to all :) 🍾🍾 how did u all spend your eves?
I have a slightly sore head today but not too terrible :) it's the lack of sleep that does me in! 😂😆
No AF yet for me but sure it'll be along tomo as I've had cramps yday and today!

I really don't want to take my tree down 😭😭😭 it's making me sad lol

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 11:40

@scarletrose18 how are you feeling? Any better? Any signs of AF, I’m hoping not for you.

@pastasaucehoarder did you have a good NY? How are you feeling during your TWW?

@Mfbroome hope you’re over your hangover now and hope AF hasn’t arrived for you despite the cramps!

@MummyBearBoo pleased you enjoyed York. I think it’s hard to tell, It’s prob just a heavy period, try not to overthink it huni. I know mine do vary. Flowers

PastaSauceHoarder · 02/01/2019 11:40

Hey all, I hope you had a wonderful New Years Eve and New Years Day! Smile

Where is everyone up to with their AF/TWW? I'm 7DPO today and feeling super unconfident about this cycle. 👎🏻

Whats everyones New Years Resolutions? Apart from the obvious (get pregnant!!) Wink

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 11:43

@PastaSauceHoarder we posted on here at the same time...great minds think alike lol. Also I’m on 7/8 dpo, I’m going with 8dpo due to my symptoms one of the days of +opk. We’re cycle buddies again, ovia thinks my af is due one week today and says 4 days until pregnancy test. No idea if af will come sooner but I just went with 31 days the same as last cycle. Confused

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 11:44

on*

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 11:45

I’m also not feeling very confident about this cycle either. My resolution is to avoid too much junk food and upt the exercise as I’ve been abit cheeky and indulged over the Christmas 🤫 how about you?

PastaSauceHoarder · 02/01/2019 11:55

Weirdly I haven't had any ovulation symptoms this cycle, expect for maybe a couple of faint cramps that disappeared before I really noticed them. I'm not sure how many days my cycle will be this month, I was so regular and then it decided to mess itself up last time. 🙄 Guess we'll see.

My Ovia says I can test in five days but I reckon I'm due AF in a week.

Ooh I love junk food but I should really cut down... Perhaps when I've polished off all of the Christmas chocolates. 😂
You've inspired me actually, one of my resolutions is to freeze toddler meals for DD as opposed to sticking in some fish fingers or sausages for her when she won't like whatever we're eating. I'm off to buy some tupperware later! Smile
Also I'm going to stop myself drinking so much fizzy pop, I've had so much over Christmas!

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 12:09

@PastaSauceHoarder I know it’s hard to say isn’t it? I guess at least we have a rough idea dpo.
Ooo that’s great, honestly it’s so handy. Can I recommend Wilkinson’s, they sell 4 plain white ramekins that are oven proof,dishwasher/microwave safe and freezable for £2 I think it was and 4 perfect sizes little round bpa free and microwave safe tubs for £1. They were the best quality and cheapest I found. Also they fit the perfect toddler portion size. I got two set of each at the time so I have 8 ramekins and 8 little tubs. The ramekins are great because I literally cook the meal in oven or whatever then wrap pot in foil when cool and sharpie pen what it is and date prepped and frozen on the top. Then you can whip it out when want it and stick in microwave and defrost and heat in same pot; it’s so easy. I tend to do lasagnes, casserole, fish pies and that sort of thing in wh ramekins. The tubs I use for spag Bol, Tom pasta sauces with tuna veg or mackerel and veg, that sort of thing. They are great to defrost and heat up at a moment’s notice and make pizza toasties or to put in jackets etc.
I know I have too many left over Christmas sweets, I should get dh to bring them into this work but then I think well i could eat them sparingly and if I get af in a week’s time i might feel like stuffing my face with them lol bye bye resolution!! Shock

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 12:12

Those are the ones I got.

Ooh brilliant, thanks for the recommendation - theres a Wilkos in my town centre so I'll check them out when I go! Smile
It sounds like your little boy is a great eater, my DD is terrible. She seems to be getting worse. 😣 Last night we made a curry with rice and naan bread, usually she'll pick at the chicken but she'll eat the rice and bread - nope! She didn't touch it. Ended up eating buttered toast and loads of fruit to fill up instead. 🙄

Meals times are getting quite tricky, the thought of having something pre-made that I know for a fact she likes and can just defrost and heat up sounds so much easier!!

Cocobana · 02/01/2019 12:45

@PastaSauceHoarder no problem. Ds can be a good eater but has his moments aswell. He goes through phases and can be so fussy. He’s fussy with rice and curry and will rarely will eat it either. It depends on his mood and sometimes no two days are the same, he’s funny with certain forms of pasta too. For instance he loves lasagne and tagliatelli pasta but won’t eat penne etc.
Oh yes toast they love it don’t they!? I find a good way to get nutrients into them when they are going through a particular fussy phase is to make pizza toasties. I basically just make buttered toast, stick some warm veg tom tuna/mackeral/bolgnaise what ever you have on the toast and whack grated cheese on top and it melts in. I cut this into squares and ds polishes this off and he is none the wiser that he’s had about 6 vegetables hidden in it! He’ll also eat it in a jacket potato or with sweet potatoes chips etc. I find you can offer new foods and they’ll either eat it or they won’t so ds will tend to try new stuff off mine and dh’s plates and if he likes it I’ll give him it next time. I used to stress about what he would and wouldn’t have but now I just give him mainly what I’ll know he’ll eat and make it work whether that be a picnic lunch or a little casserole or broc cauliflower cheese on the side to make him eat something or whatever. Gosh the trials and tribulations of motherhood lol it’s really sad but I get so happy when ds is eating well lol Blush

Scarletrose18 · 02/01/2019 12:47

Hello ladies 🙋🏽‍♀️

You are super close to being able to test @coco @pasta eeek! Hoping for you both! Have u decided on a test date?

I am on day 2 of AF. So I ended up with late ovulation and a 31 day cycle... hoping this cycle is a bit more normal. The bad tummy bug has continued also so just trying to rest a bit today.

Any sign of af yet @mfbroome? If not, will you test again?

What cd are you both on now then? @mummyb @blue
