@Nextchapter19 congratulations! What fantastic news!

@TrashKitten10 that sounds like a nightmare!

Thanks for the advice on the OPK, will try another one before I go to bed tonight.

@Nextchapter19 that's most definitely a line! Congratulations!

@TrashKitten10 OMG you just made me die! 😂😂

I haven't done an OPK today yet. Desperately waiting for the husband to get back in the car (he's doing shopping bless him) so I can get home after physio! I've never had it before so didn't realise how much it hurts! She found pain that I never knew existed following my car accident!

@Nextchapter19 huge congratulations!! X

Thank you, just wasn’t expecting it...!!!! Just hope all goes okay!

@Nextchapter19 how many DPO are are you late for AF?

@TrashKitten10 OMG that is absolutely hilarious!! I felt your struggle and then for it to be negative 😂. Hopefully tomorrow won't be such a challenge x

@thumper59 it's probably just your body still settling down I wouldn't worry. If it doesn't settle speak to your doctor. It could be because you've been ill too x

Im 10DPO Today, AF due tomorrow.....no symptoms at all really.

@DayDreamer1707 yeah I have been rather run down! I'm not getting really any line at all on my OPKs yet and FW due to start Friday. 😫. I hope I ovulate this month!

@thumper59 Sorry to hear you're under the weather but glad my clumsyness gave you a smile :) hope you feel better soon x

@MrsR16 Ouch! You poor thing. Hopefully you'll feel like a new woman tomorrow with all your aches and pains manipulated out.

@DayDreamer1707 I know 🙈 I told DH I was off to try one and he text me about ten minutes after asking if we needed to DTD haha. I said no but we did need to mop the bathroom floor 😳

@TrashKitten10 I hope so! I'm due to go back next week too... 🙈

@thumper59 don't get disheartened if you don't get one right away. I don't get them till about half way through my FW so just keep at them. I took 2 a day the first time I used them, think I'd nearly used 20 my fist cycle before I got a positive 😂. It's just figuring out your cycles, take it easy and you'll get your positive x

@TrashKitten10 it definitely gave me a laugh 😂

@Nextchapter19 I wouldn't worry about not having any symptoms. People don't normally get them till their 6 weeks

@TrashKitten10 Thankyou. I loved it! I am super clumsy, and a bit 🙄 ditzy. My friends always say if they ever re make Bridget Jones they could cast me 😂😂

@DayDreamer1707 i think it was around the 16th last month I just happened to check just as I was ovulating so I fell lucky in that respect! Yeah that will be me I better get a bulk order done on amazon 😂

@KittieKath good call with the paleo, me and DH are doing that, started on a hardcore whole 30 plan and taking it from there, more greens and more fish so great for the TTC diet.
@thumper59 new builds aren't that great, we have one and it still needs work, everywhere is still magnolia 😕 and the settling cracks are a nightmare!!
@Nextchapter19 That's a line | congratulations hun
@TrashKitten10 oh my lord your piss spill and just make me full belly laugh!!

I'm going to start my OPKs tomorrow, I'm just on the boots one a day jobies so hope i get a pos at some point with them. I forgot to get my little glass to pee in tho so I best not do as @TrashKitten10 did!! 🥡🙈

Aww congrats @Nextchapter19 they're lovely lines!

@BabySquid argh everything has it bloody problems doesn't it. Ours was pretty run down but it's sizeable has a lovely big garden/drive/garage and I don't have any neighbours behind me which I love, just fields and horses! However DP doesn't share the same enthusiasm for everything being finished as me. So everywhere is liveable but needs finishing off or fully ripping out and starting again. Fun! X

@thumper59 did you go to the gym? I’ve been so lazy since I got home 🙈 I feel the same about living in a new build and not being able to decorate, all the white is starting to drive me mad slowly 😂

@DayDreamer1707 fingers crossed, if not it’s on to the next cycle and hopefully there’s no random spotting when there shouldn’t be!

@KatBeCool is ovulation bleeding normal?

@BostonFern your DP sounds like an absolute gem, also that looks very close indeed ☺️ Get DTD 🥳

@Nextchaper19 congratulations amazing news 😄😄

@TrashKitten10 oh this story has given me a right good giggle after a rubbishy day 😂 and all that effort for a negative result that’s true dedication!

@MrsR16 hope you are doing ok!

@Lozzlepop it's usually just spotting during ovulation, it's normal but uncommon, doesn't happen for most women.

@TrashKitten10 I laughed so hard it gave me cramps.

@thumper59 you may not get any line at all until just a day or two before positive. Don't worry.

@Nextchapter19 congratulations! How many cycles was it for you?

@starkid good luck with hormones! My DH is terrified.

@KatBeCool this is cycle 1 TTC#1

@Lozzlepop no did I hell I came home and had a nap 😂😂 I'm gonna go tomorrow for definite. Fit febs got off to a tragic start at my end 😂

@Lozzlepop 👋 I'm alive! 😂 it'll be interesting to see if I hurt more tomorrow or not!

Question for you OPK experts! I did an OPK earlier this evening with a mid-range negative result. Stronger than yesterday's so things are going in the right direction. Just been to look at it again (well over 1 hour since doing it) and it's come up a lot stronger! I'm guessing I should take the result from within 10 minutes or so?

@mrsr16the longer you leave it the stronger it gets. You're meant to discard after I think 10 mins with the one step. Or it could be 30 mins. Check the instructions they should tell you :-) a positive will be clearly positive within the first 5-10 mins though easily x

*@mrsr16 not sure if that tag worked?!

@Crossfitgirl ah thought that might be the case! Ah well, hopefully it'll be positive tomorrow or Saturday! 🤞🤞 xx

@thumper59 Clumsy and ditzy with hints of Bridget Jones, you definitely sound like my soul sister  are you feeling any better this morning?

@BabySquid Yes definitely a little glass, I can confirm that a good receptacle for egg fried rice is not a good receptacle for piss 😂

@Nextchapter19

Hurrah! Beautiful news. A Valentine's Day surprise... congrats! Have you told hubby yet?! 🙌🙌🙌

@TrashKitten10

Ha ha ha!!! Oh the bloody glamour of TTC, eh?! Next step is to find your partner using the pot to take his lunch to work. 🙈

@BabySquid

Oh amazing! Yes I have been looking at the 30-day one too, to start! Well done in getting DH in board too. How tough did you find it? Have you felt better since starting?

I am away in Africa right now so it's a bit impossible here. But when I get home gonna give it a go. Though it's also my birthday soon so I will be bound to break it then. I think lack of booze might be hardest for me?! 😬

@KittieKath haha! Oh my goodness that's a good point! Perhaps I need to permanent marker 'piss pot' on the side. I was pondering if it's appropriate to put a piss pot in the dishwasher. Do I just wash it in the bathroom sink? If my Chinese tub isn't a perfect piss pot what is?! So many questions. 😂
