@FlapJackered haha! I'm hoping so 😂 this job's a lot better paid than what I'm on at the moment, so that would be a worry dealt with for sure!

Just to jump in re fertility lubes they are helpful if you don't get a lot of ewcm some cycles I do and sometimes I don't. You can ovulate without having much. And everyone is different smep has a good section on this.

Just updating my stats and saying hi and sending congratulations and sympathies!

29, cycle unknown because of breaks from TTC, op is next week! Terrified but looking forward to progress.

Good morning! Thanks to everyone who recommended not POAS you have better willpower than me 😂 done an IC last night and thought I could see a faint line! So just done another with FMU.... can you see something?

@Lozzlepop just popped on and seen your test- I see it! Try a FRER 🤞

@Lozzlepop I see it too! Def get a FRER. FX!

@Lozzlepop congratulations!!! Definitely get a frer! I reckon you will get a good line on one now! 🎉

@ValidUser no way, next week that is amazing it's come around so soon!

Hi ladies - took my week off from life as well as work tbh, and feeling better for it!

Welcome to all newbies, and hello to returnees, sorry you are back here, but good to see you.

@BostonFern massive congratulations! Hope you have a fabulous, and uneventful 9 months!

@BabySquid thank you for taking on the mantle of the stats - I'm on cycle 4, if you could tweak me?

@MrsR16 go for it, absolutely. You can't put yourself on hold!

@Jessikka one does get something like that in one's head though! I was due to ovulate this month on our 10 year anniversary and so I'm there like 'well this obvs has to work as it was our anniversary' which is not how it works!

@Lozzlepop that looks promising - I'd test on something more expensive from that.

@ValidUser wow, next week - that has come about fast! It must be scary - I hope everything is cooperating on the day.

I'm 6DPO and starting to symptom spot every month I'm sure I won't! Really not very hopeful this month though, didn't really DTD enough, on Ov day and once else in the FW.

@Lozzlepop defo a line there! Congrats 🎉🎉

😩 my temp dropped today so I obviously didn't ovulate as I had hoped. Back to Dtd!

@Lozzlepop congratulations defo a line 😊

@FlapJackered sorry about your temp, it's so gutting, I've seen me sometimes check a few times, thinking it's defo gonna be high etc 😕

I'm about to order some pregnacare conceiving vitamins... any reviews on these before I buy them please? Also I'm on CD10 today, would I be too late to get started on them? Any advice would be appreciated.. thank you 😊

@Lozzlepop I wouldn't even class that as a faint line! 😊 I think congratulations are in order! Xx

@ValidUser next week?!? That's come around so quickly! It's good to have you back 😊 x

@PeacockingAbout it's good to see you back too lovely! hope you enjoyed your break! X

@FlapJackered oh hun, that's not fun. However, remember some graduates from here had a temp drop and then ended up with their BFP! You're not out till AF shows up xx

(Must remember to not get overexcited with posting and have to post multiple times to answer everyone!) 😂

@Lozzlepop looks like a line to me!! Fingers crossed its even stronger on your next test - keep us posted!

All I have this morning is the return of the dreaded UTI...anyone else having this problem while TTC?

@FlapJackered thanks lovely - yes I think we're two of the longest standing members of the thread 😔. Still no AF but wouldn't be surprised if it turned up today although I've not been very pre menstrual this month. I hope you managed to work out what to do re: your friend visiting. I understand that it would be too difficult to see her at the moment whilst it's so fresh. I hope she's understanding x

@cupcakesandglitter Did you start using contraception again when you were having your break? we can't decide what to do... we don't want to go back to square one but we also want to live our lives a bit. This whole TTC thing isn't easy at all😖! Hope you're doing okay xx

@Lozzlepop i know what you mean about it taking longer to get help once we start trying again but i'm such a control freak that I need to be POAS most of the month so not sure how a relaxed approach would work. I've said to my DH that even when we've had a baby i still want to do OPKs just to check that I'm working properly! And I think congratulations are in order - that's a lovely line on an IC! X

@Fivebyfive2 it's definitely grinding me down, probably has been since the new year really. we started trying in June and I thought I'd be pregnant in 2018 but that didn't happen and it's not looking likely that we'll be having a baby in 2019 either😔. Think we'll definitely try a different approach next month rather than the SMEP we might try every other day instead. Hope you're doing okay xx

@BabyO1988 thank you!

@blackfriars aww no! I've had 2 UTI's throughout ttc, it's awful. However, both times are when I slept after dtd, I now normally wait 10 mins then go to the bathroom. I always want to try and keep them there 🙈 but the pain that follows with a UTI is not worth it for me 😫

@Lozzlepop - Whaaaat, wow congratulations!! That's brilliant, you must've had an inkling.

@ValidUser - Good luck for next week! xx

@Lottiepink - I think you can start on those type of supplements anytime, you take them every day of your cycle anyway as far as I know. I'm going to switch to pregnacare once my seven seas ones run out

@MrsR16 if only it was af coming, unfortunately I am still waiting for ovulation after the mc. My temp went up yesterday so I thought I had ovulated but it's gone down again today so sadly not yet. I might pull out the big guns and start peeing on opks!

Thanks @MrsAW2018 . I hope AF steers clear now. 🤞🏻 x

@Lottiepink I'm on the pregnacare ones, I don't feel any different on them which could be a good thing, I think they're shortening my cycle but that could be coincidence... always had a 32/33 day, but having taken the pregnacare last few month, my last two cycles were 29.
I'm 2dpo and finally feel like this month is going somewhere. The first part of the cycle for me is so long!! Not going to SS this time though I'm just going to ignore everything!! It's too hard getting my hopes up only to have af come. Cycle 11🤞🏻

@BostonFern thanks cycle buddy, and if everything goes well for both of us - baby buddy

@orangeloo @FlapJackered @PeacockingAbout thank you so much, I am a little bit in shock, deffo going to get an FRER on lunch, will it be ok to do this afternoon or should I wait for FMU tomorrow?

@thumper59 @Lottiepink thanks, Im glad its not just my eyes lol there was a faint line last night but as my phone is so terrible it wasn't picking it up!

@MrsR16 Thank you, I keep looking at it as I cant believe it!

@blackfriars thank you, I will keep you all posted ☺️ sorry to hear about your UTI

@MrsAW2018 thank you so much. I totally get where you are coming from but you are potentially so close, September isn't that far away but ultimately you know what is best for you both just make sure you have considered all of the options first.

@starkid thank you, I really wasn't feeling hopeful at all this cycle as we only DTD twice during FW fingers crossed its a sticky bean 🤞🏻

Well we all know what I am doing at lunchtime 😂might pick up a little something to surprise the OH with as I haven't told him yet!! How is everyone else doing? Anyone close to testing or entering the TWW?

@Lozzlepop I think you'd pick that up on a frer not with fmu. Maybe don't drink much between now and dinner if that's when your going to do it! So exciting

@Lozzlepop I second thumper, I think you will get a good line so I don't think you need to wait for fmu

@Lozzlepop - go get that frer and report back at lunch!

Just realised i'm 6dpo today - wish i hadn't looked, as now I'm going to be symptom spotting for the next few days
My app just I'm due next Monday... really hope PMS/AF isn't as long drawn out as last cycle

@Lottiepink like someone else said, it's hard to tell what difference the vitamins are making if you don't feel anything. If anything, I haven't gotten any any colds or flu in a year, it'd be the only noticeable thing for me.

@ValidUser I just realized it's the end of March. Good luck and quick recovery next week. Do let us know how it went.

@FlapJackered drop most likely means you haven't ovulated yet, I doubt your body decided not to at all. But I can s it being delayed by a few days. What CD are you?

@Lozzlepop it's a good line for a cheapie. Congratulations!
