@thumper59 you aren't out until she shows. I still have a drink because I think I would lose my mind otherwise 😂. Finishing work in 5 minutes and I just want to have a nap x

Lozzlepop · 25/01/2019 13:59

@DayDreamer1707 I’ll be on the alcohol this weekend ☺️☺️

AnnaMC214 · 25/01/2019 14:06

I'm so confused by my cycle this month and it's making me crazy! Still no af which was due Tuesday but I've had spotting the last couple of days which I normally get a couple of days before af so I figured it was just a long cycle and I was out. But now the spotting seems to have stopped. It seems too late to be IB so wth?!

thumper59 · 25/01/2019 14:59

@DayDreamer1707 I know and there's nothing I can do even if she does! I'm such a negative nancy today. 😂
Just got to car wash and every other person in the world who owns a white car is here too. 😫😫

KittieKath · 25/01/2019 15:12

@Lozzlepop

We can call them Valentino or Valentina! 😜

I too am gonna be boozing this weekend. Have been very good this 2WW, and even coped with a baby shower for my bestie without going too crazy.

So gonna get very merry this weekend with AF - then start afresh in the week.

😊

KittieKath · 25/01/2019 15:13

@AnnaMC214

Have you tested? Don't wanna get your hopes up, but spotting can be quite common in early pregnancy...

AnnaMC214 · 25/01/2019 15:21

@KittieKath no I haven't had the guts yet. I'm thinking I'll test Monday if nothing happens over the weekend but I'm not a very patient person at the best of times! I'm going to need to know either way soon or I'll explode! I just know it's my body being cruel Sad

Kittyhop · 25/01/2019 15:32

I’m 6 DPO and CD 25. Just started bleeding lightly. Desperately hoping it’s not AF - although I’m only TTC cycle 1 so shouldn’t really be surprised I guess.

thumper59 · 25/01/2019 15:58

So tmi, if there is even such a thing left amongst us 😂😂

Just gone to toilet and got CM in my knickers after not much of anything except clear All week. Great. What is my body doing 😫😫

DuchessofPemberley · 25/01/2019 16:41

I caved! BFN. For once it didn't bother me,even though I know this last rush of hope will mean I'll probably cry when AF comes.

But I'm not out yet! 😀

thumper59 · 25/01/2019 16:49

@DuchessofPemberley aww sorry about that! But we are both still in the game! Till the witch comes. And if she does, we have a full month of BD'ing to do through February.

I'm trying to think of how many calories sex burns. I've heard it's a lot so I assume you'll confuse me with Beyoncé by the end of next month 🥳🥳😂😂

KatBeCool · 25/01/2019 16:57

@thumper59 According to my Ovia app, it burns up to 200 calories in thirty minutes of crazy active positions, or only 40 calories for basic. Ovia has been showing me that info for weeks now. I see it every day when I go to record my bbt. Screenshot as proof 😂😂😂

DuchessofPemberley · 25/01/2019 16:57

@thumper59 I'm impressed! The amount of BDing I'd need to do to look like Bey might kill me 😂😂😂

thumper59 · 25/01/2019 17:40

@KatBeCool bloody hell! I'll have to get creative 😂😂

@DuchessofPemberley we have to find a silver lining to every cloud you see 😂

Lozzlepop · 25/01/2019 18:35

@KittieKath haha love it, little Valentina! I have a little drink in hand already ☺️ You done well going to the baby shower so a celebratory drink is in order!

KittieKath · 25/01/2019 18:47

@DuchessofPemberley oh bummer! But like you say, not out yet... I got all giddy on the hope for you!

We just got a care of wine delivered (Naked wines are selling off their Xmas stock half price) so here's to a boozy weekend welcoming AF to town :-)

@Kittyhop

I have a couple of friends who are one hit wonders! One friend fell pregnant with both of her children on their first month of trying.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! You can escape this madhouse before you even check in?! Ha ha!!

Lola871 · 25/01/2019 18:48

Hey guys, just wondering what app you would recommend for tracking (just using period data, no bbt or OPKs for now). Also I've read that I should start taking folic acid and vitamin D, any particular brands good?

Thanks ladies 😊

MrsAW2018 · 25/01/2019 18:52

@Lola871 I find Clue the most user-friendly app if it's just for tracking your period Smile

Kittyhop · 25/01/2019 19:00

@kittiekath I don’t think I want to escape, I would miss all the chat about wearing our DPs down to stubs! 😂

Oops! Sorry for double post!

Not quite sure what happened there?!

🥴

BostonFern · 25/01/2019 20:37

@Lola871 I've used Clue for years to track my cycles, it's really easy to use. I've also been taking pregnacare conception vitamins since October, and OH started the wellman conception vitamins in November.

BostonFern · 25/01/2019 20:39

Still no sign of AF here, CD30. Did a FRER this morning and it was BFN though. Think I'm out this month, and seriously considering a big glass of wine!

Catlady31 · 25/01/2019 20:48

Can I join?
I've never joined a thread before still new to this 
Aged 31
Cycle 1
19 cd
8 dpo
Having lots of symptoms, or else I'm going mad.. hoping for bfp next weekend when af is due!

DuchessofPemberley · 25/01/2019 20:53

I know! I got excited too, and I have so many symptoms that are unusual for me. Even my DH, who I told yesterday we had no chance because of temperature drop, is looking at me sideways when I keep losing my balance or when I don't eat food I usually like. Safe to say my plan not to tell him the temp went up again so as not to give him false hope is redundant 🙄

I'm no loss to MI6 😂😂😂
