Hey all,

Normally I would have backed my phone up but I hadn’t Done it in a while. That will teach me! Sending happy Monday vibes. I’m wallpaper stripping and peeing on opks today, learning new skills every day!

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 14:20

@Lozzlepop I know, it was really sweet. I think it's because I was pregnant before and he allowed himself to get excited then and now knows he can't wait even more. I hope AF doesn't come for you but if she does I hope your cycles become more clear.

@thumper59 do not test you, way too early. Try and wait till the day of AF or after, you will get clearer results then.

Lozzlepop · 18/02/2019 14:36

@BostonFern ahhh half term last week up here hence the confusion lol, not so much of a holiday when you are doing all that planning! Hopefully you've had some lunch now!

@DayDreamer1707 ah bless him ☺️I hope so too but at the same time don't want her disappearing and me left wondering why lol 🤷🏽‍♀️

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 15:14

@DayDreamer1707 oh god yeah no testing from me! I meant because AF is due at only 11DPO anyway so not worth me testing early this cycle x

starkid · 18/02/2019 15:52

@thumper59 - I'm 3DPO with AFdue next Tuesday! We can both fret and delay testing as long as possible together Grin

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 16:19

@Lozzlepop I know exactly how you feel. I am looking out and waiting for my spotting to begin. I am trying to see it as, if I don't spot then maybe my cycles are getting better? Only time will tell, think i've tired myself out with all the worrying and getting the OH to make me tea and get me snuggled up in front of the TV.

@thumper59 You could have a longer cycle this time though if you ovulated later? I am currently 11DPO and don't want to test...it scares me either way!!!

starkid · 18/02/2019 16:27

@DayDreamer1707 - omg 11dpo... exciting/scary!

Lozzlepop · 18/02/2019 16:30

@DayDreamer1707 Fingers crossed that you don't have any spotting! I have felt really weird suddenly so looking forward to getting home, OH has been told he's to look for holidays while I make dinner lol!

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 16:33

@starkid I know but I am not feeling hopeful at all. Think I am too tired from a couple of night bad sleep. Fingers crossed for you over the next week x

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 17:10

@starkid oh yeah we are so similar! Mines due next Monday.

@DayDreamer1707 yeah possibly will be, it's just a waiting game isn't it. I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated last cycle to even compare as wasn't OPKing

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 17:10

@DayDreamer1707 when are you planning to test? When is AF due? Hope she stays away! X

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 17:23

@thumper59 with how I'm feeling at the moment I think AF is going to be early. Had on and off cramps and back ache most of the day 😫. High cervix that I can't reach and watery Cm though 🤷🏼‍♀️ but the cervix isn't a good indication because it changes all the time. I wanted to wait to test if I'm late because I'm scared of having a chemical if I ever test early. Couldn't cope with that I don't think. FX for you that she stays away, I know you wasn't having the best time using the OPKs x

LokiCat · 18/02/2019 17:44

Hi all, hope you've had a good Monday! I'm 2dpo it's moving so slowly and I just keep trying to symptom spot. My boobs are still sore, but nothing else apparent yet (I know it's too early) 🙈
Glow says AF is due next Monday, but since I ovulated later, I think AF is due 3rd March.. so far away!! 😩

Got the house to myself tonight since DH is working night shift - may stick on a girly movie!

@DayDreamer1707 fingers crossed I hope AF stays away 🤞🏽

@thumper59 @starkid I'm similar to you both, still early in the TWW. AF due a week after you guys though!

Glad I have people here to keep me sane 😊

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 17:44

@DayDreamer1707 positive thoughts you just never know! I'm with you on testing early. It's no good for anybody really! Aw Thankyou. Yeah I was having a bit of a job but seems to have got the hang of them. Just hope we did enough BDing. If it doesn't happen this time I think I'll actively try the SMEP next month. Think OH will be willing too, I know it's still early days for us but I'd rather be on top of it now then get months and months in and then start worrying and trying new things!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 17:47

Evening all! Hope people have had a good Monday so far!

@BostonFern - how cute is your husband!!! I have a week to go before my half term! ☹️

@DayDreamer1707 - your husband sounds lush too!

@Lola871 - I buy the clear blue - I tried a cheap pregnancy test & got so confused, I just thought - I’ll invest to make my life easier 🤣

@BabySquid hope you feel better soon!

@Lozzlepop - I have everything crossed for a BFP

@Lemonysherbet - gutted for you! I had a similar problem when a word document didn’t auto save!! Fuming!!

What are people's thoughts on mediums? I saw one today & she said 'if you don't have a son, you're pregnant now with him, or he's coming imminently' I have no kids and I'm CD 22 (average cycle is 27 days) and 6 DPO. She mentioned a girl as well that will come shortly afterwards. She was spot on about a fair few things and when I saw her 18 months ago she mentioned 2 souls waiting patiently to come into the world & was spot on with other things!!

I'm so intrigued!!!

Lemonysherbet · 18/02/2019 18:17

I think I’m nearly ovulating! Woo. First month using opks and I am not going to lie, I didn’t really have a clue what I was doing until I read a lot of advice on here. I also didn’t realise you had to leave them to dry out to get the proper result!

BostonFern · 18/02/2019 18:36

@Lozzlepop I did manage lunch, thanks. Just finished up for the day- being up at 2am and working on just three hours sleep is starting to tell- I've kind of collapsed on the sofa hoping DP will do dinner!

@DayDreamer1707 sorry you feel rough, will you get chance to relax tonight? Hope you get a better nights sleep too (we really do seem to be TWW twins this cycle 😂)

@LokiCat enjoy your film!

@LuckyPenguin I hope this week goes quickly for you!

@Lemonysherbet I lost an hours worth of work on a document today, the whole file corrupted and couldn't be recovered- I feel your pain.

Your OPK looks like it's getting close to positive-exciting!

@LuckyPenguin let's hope she is right!

Not really symptom spotting today- too busy and too tired! Still trying to resist testing until Friday. I think I'll be sitting on my hands by Wednesday morning though in an attempt to stop myself!

Lemonysherbet · 18/02/2019 18:40

Oh no @bostonfern and @luckypenguin it’s horrible when that happens, I remember when my laptop gave up when I’d nearly finished my dissertation, I cried a lot!!!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 18:54

@Lemonysherbet - how do you get that screen on glow? I'm Intrigued!!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 18:55

@BostonFern - I cried when I lost my report. I'm forever clicking save now!!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 18:55

@Lemonysherbet - did you lose all of your dissertation??!! 😟

Lemonysherbet · 18/02/2019 19:00

@luckypenguin you click anaylsis and then opks.

I did but a nice computer shop helped me recover it, it was stressful few days!!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 19:15

@Lemonysherbet I found it!

Love the little note they've added to mine 🤣

I'd have given that sales assistant a huge hug & a thank you gift!!

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 19:23

Gosh I've got awful bloat and nausea today (I know not pregnancy related I haven't gone mad- yet 😂).

Feeling huge and fat and gross. Hate feeling like this! I'm not currently going to gym as didn't wanna get a new membership incase I've conceived and wouldn't be going from next month so feeling like a right fat unattractive lump! I had such an unhealthy relationship with food when I was younger I try to stay ok with it now. And I mainly do just these few weeks I feel gross ( I've always been an 8-10, now I'm more 10 but can still squeeze) so I know not big by any means but I just feel awful 😫. I think part of it is because I used to own horses and used to be very active but since giving them up I don't do a lot in the way of excersize really. Can someone give me a kick up the arse 😂 I know I sound really mopy over nothing but it's getting me down atm.
