@KatBeCool I have a really sporadic sleep pattern so not sure how well it would work and I'd defo forget to do it every morning first thing!

starkid · 14/02/2019 11:56

@Lozzlepop - Sounds like it could be IB, unless he was particularly rough Grin

Iilana · 14/02/2019 12:08

@DayDreamer1707 I'm also 7dpo today it's nice to have people to chat to who are around the same cycle and in the same boat. 😊

DayDreamer1707 · 14/02/2019 13:18

@thumper59 I would completely forget to take my temps and I tend to get up a lot during the night.

@Lozzlepop it could be IB, they tend to say its brown but I have read people get it bright red too, FX. You didn't get too carried away did you and maybe that caused the bleed?

@Iilana I wish I had symptoms to spot but I don't. I know they say you tend to get them more around 4-6 weeks. 1 week down after today though x

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 13:38

@DayDreamer1707 same I wake every hour to couple during the night so I don't feel I'd give an accurate result and I'd forget. I'd forget my bloody head if it wasn't screwed on!

Feel like I should BD for good luck tonight too but tbh I am exhausted. Every other day has the same effect right?? OHs swimmers will be swimming back in the opposite direction if we carry on 😂😂

BabySquid · 14/02/2019 13:39

Happy Galentines to my gals 😘 
Hope everyone's enjoying their day. So glad we BD last night coz I honestly don't think I have the energy tonight 😞 started coming down with a cold on Tuesday and it's just getting worse 😭
I'll do my opk when I get home and if it's positive then I'll muster the energy from somewhere!!

Iilana · 14/02/2019 13:59

@DayDreamer1707 lets see what next 7 days brings for us fingers X.

@BabySquid happy galantines day to you too 😊

starkid · 14/02/2019 14:07

@BabySquid - we dtd last night, but with my positive opk today am thinking need to do it tonight and tomorrow too to make sure we've done our best... 3 days in a row is unheard of for us 😂 DH will be in his element!

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 14:25

My OPKs was positive yesterday. Slightly lighter today I DTD last night and Monday night am I safe 😂 can I have the night off and go again Friday 😂 I've got my sexy red underwear on just in case but to be honest I fancy whipping them off and getting straight into my pjs when I'm home 😂😂😂

Lozzlepop · 14/02/2019 14:29

@thumper59 I have found Glow to be really good so far- predicting AF as the 19th so we shall see how accurate that is.

@starkid @DayDreamer1707 no I don't think so and there was a lot of foreplay....just need to wait and see I guess

Fitness Feb is continuing, another lunchtime class done, means I can deffo enjoy my Valentines meal tonight!

KittieKath · 14/02/2019 15:18

@AngeloMysterioso

Wow! Congrats Angelo! Super happy for you... Valentines Day treat for you both! 😘

lizzie198 · 14/02/2019 15:45

Hi ladies can I join please?

TTC 1st and it's 2nd cycle.

I'm 30 and Hubby is 33.

I started the TWW yesterday I think, based on cramps and discharge. DTD on Tuesday night so good timing if I'm right but not using OPK's and we are currently just seeing what happens but I can't help symptom spotting etc lol!

DayDreamer1707 · 14/02/2019 16:00

@Lozzlepop we are holding up this #FitFeb!! I went for a walk on my lunch, gym yesterday and going to go tomorrow. So annoying when you have bleeds or symptoms but no answers!!

@lizzie198 welcome and stay DTD without all the obsessed crap that we do for as long as you can 😊. I am sure you will join us all for that next cycle hahaha, that if you aren't lucky this time round FX

OH is playing footy tonight so we are celebrating valentines this weekend. Told him to come pick me up and act like it's a first date 😂 We don't really do the whole V-day thing but I like to pretend and wind him up haha.

Suppose the good thing about being in the TWW is that we can have the sexy time for fun, not that it wasn't fun before but with less pressure

Lozzlepop · 14/02/2019 16:13

@DayDreamer1707 💪🏻Go us lol!!! I will try and go for a run on the weekend but my folks are coming through and we are going out for lunch! I know, the OH is a worrier and says I will need to go get checked out if it happens again but sometimes its just one of those things. Aww that would be so cute if he did it! I'm looking forward to getting home and having my dinner cooked for me for a change 😉

KittieKath · 14/02/2019 16:16

@thumper59

I am really confused by the OPKs - I had very strong positives for about 36hours. Did tons of research and most people ovulate 12-36 after the FIRST positive. so I think the next day is the most fertile day.

BUT - older women have a shorter period of time between LH surge and ovulation. Plus spent lives for UK to 4 days. So the day of the ovulation might be the best time to DTD!

We didn't manage to DTD on the day (my fella also refused!) but in the evening of the day after. Maybe a bir late but🤞it still works!

@TrashKitten10

Lols! This story sounds highly familiar! 😜

@KatBeCoo Sneeze or fart! 💨💦

@DuchessofPemberley

Defo not out this cycle! Shagging on the right day is perfect. Stay positive, stay strong. It is gonna happen!!! 💪

@LuckyPenguin

Welcome! I am same age, and we are cycle buddies! Both of my two former cycle buddies have graduated to the preggers boards... so stick with me kid, it seems I am a lucky charm?! 😜🤞

@MrsAW2018

It is early, so still a chance! But I know how you feel, and totally sympathize.

Chin up chicken! It's shit. It really is... and all the advice I ever seem to receive is not think about it and then it will happen. Which is impossible and frankly infuriating!

But it's just one another month. Get drunk! Go sky diving! Eat blue cheese and pate! Enjoy these last few months of being baby free! 🥳

@Lozzlepop fingers crossed for IB🤞🙌🤞🙌🤞🙌

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 16:19

@KittieKath argh I think I ovulated today then. Got a positive yesterday morning and again last night after work- argh I don't really fancy DTD tonight 😫 maybe I'll get some energy to do it when I'm home. Aren't second day swimmers a bit pointless though? Hear so many conflicting things!

KatBeCool · 14/02/2019 16:33

@KittieKath I actually read the opposite - we ovulate only after the surge is of over. So if your surge lasts for two days, you can't ovulate 12 hours after you first saw it because that would mean you'd ovulate during the surge. When my surge lasts for two days, I always ovulate the day after the second day, at least judging by the cramps.

DayDreamer1707 · 14/02/2019 16:33

I am feeling really emotional today, I think I'm scared of getting AF. I can normally shake these feelings off but I honestly just want to cry, what is wrong with me 😥 I just want to get my pj's on and get snuggled up in bed an watch Greys Anatomy.

@thumper59 I don't totally understand the who 'their sperm needs time to mature' guys never mature 😂. I have read that it takes 72 days for sperm to mature and that men are constantly producing it 🤔

@Lozzlepop honestly I best lose some weight and feel better about myself or get a BFP. So hard to stay motivated, I love how I feel after I have worked out but going is another challenge.

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 17:20

Def negative again now! Must have ovulated today. Got so much lighter since this morning. Should I still DtD tonight as well as last night

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 13!
starkid · 14/02/2019 18:37

Mine was a definite negative just now too, but I had a positive still at lunchtime, so am writing down today for my positive. Lots of ewcm today too.

Jooloo11 · 14/02/2019 18:38

@thumper59 - yes deffo try tonight if you both feel up to it. Egg lives up to 24 hours so would still be in fertile window. Might be last fertile day this month (possibly tomorrow) so best to get a go in now while you can! Plus it's valentine's :)

Jooloo11 · 14/02/2019 18:43

@KatBeCool - I love your posts - I feel like I learn so much TTC stuff from your posts on here!!

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 18:58

@starkid yeah that sounds right! I was very positive yesterday and today's faded and then nothing really so think today I ovulated x

thumper59 · 14/02/2019 18:59

@Jooloo11 I'll hop on when he gets home. Cooking a romantic tea of jacket spud and beans and cheese. By the boy got lucky when he found me 🙄😂😂.

Jjst my bloody luck I cook proper nice teas all the time and the one time I'm doing a cheapy quick tea it falls on Valentine's 😂😂😂

MrsH497 · 14/02/2019 19:10

Its Valentine's Day...AF is due...and...not here...BFN on a clear blue though so waiting for her arrival!

Hope everyone is having a lovely day x
