@KatBeCool did your temps go back up after your dip? X

@FlapJackered oh that's so exciting!! Hopefully you don't get bad ms or anything like that, I'm sure everything is going to be great ❤️ yeah we're going to take a break once AF comes - I'm still just spotting and I've had nothing red which is odd for me, I've bought a FRER to rule it out but I'm 99.9% sure I'm not pg. Guess it's just a weird cycle for me xx

Ah @KatBeCool sorry just seen your last message, sorry about AF 😩 glad you have an appointment tomorrow though x

@KatBeCool Hope the doctors today goes well

I've been suffering from a 'pre-cold' for about two weeks now. Coughing a bit, a bit runny nosed, now a bit of a croaky voice. Nothing major but just lingering 😩 I teach small children who cough and sneeze directly onto my face 🤢😂 so I'm quite used to lurgy germs but I wish this would either materialise into a cold and then bugger off or just go away. Thankfully I haven't ovulated yet or I'm sure I would have turned this into a pregnancy symptom :)

Hope everyone has a good day x

@PinkFizz 19 one pump and a squirt 😂 brilliant, if only it was that easy. Got a positive OPK last night so dutilly went to DTD and had bright red blood (soz tmi) so we didn’t finish. Woken up in a bit of pain today, not sure if that’s us out for this month, will do another OPK later and see if I’m still ovulating and if we can DTD again tonight 🙈 urgh total pain!

@MrsR16 that's similar to how mine looked yesterday too, I think I will get a positive on Thurs/Fri which is CD11/12 for me. What are you on?

@PinkFizz19 Oh I want to watch that film, is it good? Maybe we will get techniques that she uses like, legs in the air, pillow under her ass, no sneezing after or how many crazy test she did before she found out she got her BFP 😂

@KatBeCool sorry AF has shown but I do hope you get some positive answers at your doctors appointment.

@cupcakesandglitter hopefully this might not be AF for you and I hope you do still pop on to have a catch up. I know when we stopped over the Christmas period I felt better for this cycle and are now ready to try and give it a real go.

@Lozzlepop could it just be a blood vessel? Sure it's nothing to worry about. Doesn't mean you are out either. If you are feeling better tonight I would give DTD another go x

@DayDreamer1707 I'm on CD12 today. I'm just interested to see whether I ovulate when Flo reckons I will, or when Glow reckons I will! 😂 Flo says Thursday and Glow thinks Saturday! We shall see!! X

@MrsR16 you never know we might enter the TWW together. My apps have me for Thursday too. My OPKs normal start of quite light and then all of a sudden they are positive. Shall see what the result is tonight.

@DayDreamer1707 i'm not sure, I am hoping because we DTD Sunday afternoon that I am still in with a chance, will do an OPK later and see whats happening!

@MrsR16 are you inputting OPK results into Glow as they should update your Ovulation date accordingly, mine originally had me down to OV on sat and as i added in my results it changed.

Booked in for the gym at lunchtime- wish me luck #FitFebruary

@DayDreamer1707 @cupcakesandglitter AF is yet to show up and now the spotting is gone. And all the spotting I had was in total of less than a quarter of a drop of slightly brown mixed in with cm (sorry tmi). The temp this morning went very slightly above cover line. Now I'm confused. I guess I'll see what the rest of the day brings.

@KatBeCool do you think it could be something else then? When is your doctors appointment, might as well mention it to them?

@Lozzlepop Go you for doing the #FitFeb. I went the gym last night and having a break tonight and having time with the OH. If you are still in pain then maybe it's worth getting in touch with your doctors.

Thanks @DayDreamer1707 I'll definitely keep popping back to catch up ❤️ I think it'll just be best if I don't come on as normal because I think it'll upset me that we're not trying - but I definitely want to know about all of your BFPs!! X

@KatBeCool possibly IB? Test in a couple of days!! Fingers crossed for you, hope your app goes well too. Your spotting sounds exactly like mine - i had it for two days, and I've had a very watery red spot today but nothing else yet. I think it's just a weird cycle for me though 😂😂 xx

@KatBeCool - Oooh can't help but get my hopes up for you xx

@DayDreamer1707 you're scaring me, something else good or bad? Lol. Dr is in a couple hours. I'll mention it to him.

@cupcakesandglitter my normal pre-AF spotting usually lasts only a few hours and is exponentially progressive in volume and in going towards red. I never in my life had spotting outside of that. What dpo are you?

@starkid thank you! I don't even know if my own hopes are up.

@MrsR16 Flo is usually accurate for me within a day or two. Good luck!

@TrashKitten10 do you take vitamins? I'm usually the first one to catch something from other people but ever since I started taking prenatal vitamins I haven't got anything.

@KatBeCool oh sorry no, I meant something else like implantation bleed or just early signs of pregnancy, something GOOD.

@KatBeCool that's exactly the same as me - I usually get brown in the evening and by very late evening/the morning it's normal AF. I'm 16 DPO, sporting started 14dpo so far too late to be IB for me x

@DayDreamer1707 yeah just trying to keep my mind active and off TTC 100% of the time lol! So I just done an OPK and its lighter so def OV yesterday hoping that cos we DTD Friday and Sunday that we might still be in with a chance, so looks like I'm into the TWW. Its just a dull ache, done some googling and don't think theres anything to be concerned about , Is anyone else in the TWW?

@KatBeCool when is AF due? Sounds promising like it could be IB ☺️good luck at the Dr.

@Lozzlepop AF is due today. I have only ten day LP, today is 11 unless AF comes.

@cupcakesandglitter same here, if it's brown in the evening, by bed time AF arrives or by morning at the absolute latest. Have you tested? 16 DPO is when you'd definitely know.

@KatBeCool good luck at the OB hope it goes well.

I am about to go to a circuits class 😒

@KatBeCool it's just turned into AF I think 😩 not going to test now, I'm unsure as to why I've had so much spotting but I'm just going to count it as a blip 🤷🏻‍♀️ when will you test?

@DayDreamer1707 that would be great to have a TWW buddy!

@Lozzlepop yes I am. I inputted EWCM today (it's like a bloody slip'n'slide down there today!) and it's pushed my O date back to Saturday now! 😂 I'll wait and see what the OPK says when I get home.

@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear that AF is potentially here!

Hi @TrashKitten10 thanks for checking in with me! No AF (CD41 now )
I have booked an appointment at the doctors on Thursday. I'm worried that they may think I am worrying for no reason, but with such a long cycle and temps shows possibly anovulation twice in the last four months, I think I want to see what they say or perhaps have bloods/hormones checked to see if anything is standing out.
Do people think that sounds reasonable or is TTC making me a crazy worrier?

Sorry to everyone that's been having a tough time recently @cupcakesandglitter @keyboard91

Hello all... newbie here, can I join in? Super new to all this so probably won't be familiar with acronyms or whatever, but none of my friends not on the internet are trying to conceive and I'm sure they're all bored senseless already and I just wanted to find others trying this babymaking thing :)

Hope you're all having a lovely Tuesday. X

Welcome @ChocolateCoins567! You'll soon learn all the acronyms; I'm fluent in them now - sometimes I even use them in real life and my husband is clueless lol😂. Where are you up to in your cycle and how long have you been trying for? X

Hello! My fiance and I decided while on my last period to try, so this is our first go round! LMP was end of Jan, I think I'm ovulating today! Probably made a right pigs ear of it all, bit overwhelmed with information from incessant anxiety-inducing googling - what does this mean, what could that feeling be? Had quite distinctive one sided pain I can only assume was ovulation pain, and today have a very mild lower kind of cramping? So bizarre. I don't know if tracking and thinking about it all has made me hyper aware to just normal changes? Got a long old wait till I can test, even with a slightly shorter cycle (about 26 days on average).
