I'm sure I've forgotten some. I'll tag more!

@LikeTheFruit @purplefig Yep, the withdrawal was so bad it really put me off ever going back! I had a constant headache (that did start to get better), was sluggish and grumpy. Feel absolutely fine now and never feel the need for caffeine to kick start the day or anything like that. Hang in there!

@LokiCat It really does help when you love what you do!! I HATED my past employer but love my current ones :)

@Kiza Haha!! We should all be on ‘Mumsnet Island’ where we’d all just sit around drinking fertility smoothies checking out each other’s OPKs and wondering if our boobs felt sore. Hope work calms down for you a little bit soon!

@Kiza haha plus what we chat about is definitely more useful than what's on love island 😂
@purplefig and @FlapJackered will be the ones testing tomorrow (🤞🏽🤞🏽) I'm only 6dpo so will most likely get a BFN if I tested.
Hope you have a quieter day at work tomorrow!

@MrsEG Mumsnet Island sounds great! It would be so much easier knowing you all in person to share the highs and woes of TTC! 😊

@LokiCat - I’ve thought about what it would be like if we all knew each other in ‘real’ life - probably like a huge episode of Sex and the City 😂

@LikeTheFruit, @MrsEG @Purplefig - my caffeine withdrawal headaches lasted for about a week and a half but I feel good for it now!!

I hope everyone is having a lovely evening?
Still no positive OPK for me, but definitely building and definitely day 2 of EWCM so DTD is on the cards 😀

@MrsEG @ELW85 😂😂 I'd be okay with either tbf, we could spend all day sipping on mocktails and having loo breaks to do our OPKs 😩

@cupcakesandglitter @MrsEG @ELW85 could we mix in a bit of 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown? I'm in!

@ValidUser yes!!! I'm game 😏

Hey!! Bit late to the show but can I ask why you're taking cod liver oil @starkid? I was told not to take it at all as it contains vitamin A which is a no no for pregnancy?

Massive temp drop this morning so I am out 😩
At least I have saved a frer....I am in short supply! 😂

@MrsLBear I was told to take Omega 3 rather than cod liver oil as it doesn’t have any vitamin A, but to be honest I think the vitamin A thing is only a major concern once pregnant (saying that my consultant yesterday did tell me to avoid Vit A when I mentioned my supplements, but said that this was due to the risks in pregnancy)

Loving our ‘Mumsnet cats island does countdown’ idea; I wonder who we pitch it to?!

Good luck this morning @purplefig @flapjackered!! I’m absolutely wide awake since 5 today after having horrible nightmares about spiders 😫 So need some good news to cheer me up!!

@FlapJackered Ahh cross post - nooo, I’m sorry hun! You’re not out til AF shows though!

@MrsEG I hate a spider dream, they leave you crawling don't they!
Unfortunately I think the temp drop says it all but thanks lovely. I suppose at least I can drink this weekend!

@MrsEG 😆😆😆 that Mumsnet island sounds ace!!!
@FlapJackered @purplefig , I'm still rooting for you till AF shows.
Currently at the gym, so got a bit of time before work to keep up to speed with the chat.

@ELW85 wow I admire your ability to give up caffeine, I only have I filtered cup in the morning (now half and half with decaf) but I still savour very drop!

@Kiza Good for you!! As I’m up I’m actually debating going for the 6:45 spin class near me - you’ve inspired me!

@FlapJackered It was horrible - dreamt I was sat on a chair covered with sticky webs and it was crawling with them 😫
Ahh I’m gutted about the temp drop but as you say, commiserations with plenty of partying this weekend sounds brilliant :)

@MrsEG I've been terrible the last few months due to TTC and thinking aargh forget about muscle and a flat tummy cos you'll be pregnant soon. However getting down about not falling pregnant has resulted in me eating crap and putting on weight, you know where you can't actually fasten your jeans buttons Cos it digs in so much it hurts 🤦🏼‍♀️😢 so I thought enough!
I hate the gym but am trying, good luck for your spin class - I always thought people who do spin are Gods with their fitness levels! 😆

@Kiza SO many of us are in the same boat! Adding the worry you might ‘shake the baby loose’ in the TWW doesn’t help either haha, but I’ve done fairly extensive research now and all signs point to keeping really active being a good thing!

Haha I have to like the gym - DH owns one! Woefully I’m hardly the ‘gym wife’ though - there are a few ladies there at the mo getting ready for bikini comps and look like Wonder Woman and I’m snaffling Minstrels in the car before I go inside...

Well I didn't pass out.....but I am utterly shocked and 10000000% over the moon!!! Doesn't feel remotely real ladies!! Will post properly later.

@ValidUser - 100% who doesn’t love a conundrum?!

@Kiza - I think you’re doing brilliantly! I still have one cup in the morning and then sadly nothing for the rest of the day. And caffeine free Diet Coke tastes no different :)

Good luck with your exercise stuff - we’ve widely debated it here as @MrsEG has mentioned, but she’s been fantastic at keeping our heads straight with it...and she’s a machine for exercising :)

@FlapJackered - sorry to hear that, my dear. Keep your head up, it will happen!

@Purplefig - OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m so, so, so happy for you :D xx

@purplefig, omg what a line!! Congratulations 😃🎉

@purplefig whooohooo congratulations! That's an incredibly strong line too!!
@ELW85 thanks for the support! I've done so much research on caffeine and as long as I'm staying under 200mg a day I'm gonna savour that morning cuppa joe! ☕️

@purplefig I knew it!! Congratulations!!! So so happy for you!! 🎉🎉🎉
That is a very strong line too! Twins?
What did you do differently this cycle?

@Kiza - you're very welcome, and you’re totally right with the 200mg :) I was just getting my head around coffee then realised it was in SO many other things. We’re in it together though 😊

@FlapJackered do you really you're out this cycle? I don't know much about temps but if AF still hasn't shown do you think there's still a chance? 🤞🏼

@purplefig YESSSS!!! So so so happy for you!

@MrsLBear - you know what, I haven't got a clue why I was taking it. I had a bit of a panic at the beginning of my cycle and bought all sorts thinking I was low on loads (paranoid!). As of yesterday I'm only taking the late Pregnacare and B12 though as something has messed this cycle up and I thought it best to just leave the extras unless the docs say something! Thank you for the info though, I didn't realise that! Was just panicking about being healthy 😥

@purplefig - AHHHH congratulations!!! Look at the line on that BFP 😍 you'll have to tell us all your secrets haha xx
