Old one almost full!

Ahh didn't DTD last night I was so exhausted after work I fell asleep ridiculously early. I've missed it this month haven't I?! We DTD Tuesday which was in fertile window, if we do it tonight will that be enough?! X

Morning ladies! My legs are feeling worse today! 🙈 think I should have taken it easy with the squats and lunges!!
So happy it's Friday. This week has been so tiring!

@ELW85 haha think you definitely deserve some rest after all that hard work!!

@MrsH497 Ovulation occurs 12-36 hours after peak OPK and then the egg lives for about 12-24 after ovulation, so if you DTD tonight fingers crossed you'll be covered! :)

Have a lovely day ladies! Xx

Thanks @LokiCat first month after MC everyone says you'll be super fertile but I don't believe it!

It's Friday!! Hurrah xx

@LokiCat the scrapping cats were back at it last night 🙈legs are still sore and stairs are a bloody nightmare, squats are the worst, my class instructor makes you do them on your tiptoes 😬

@XjustagirlX I would say you are fine as long as you have DTD in the run up to OV, the cycle we got our BFP on we only DTD one in the FW.

@MrsH497 I would DTD tonight to be on the safe side

So happy the weekend is almost here, it has been such a long week and I have been constantly exhausted! Looking forward to a weekend of family fun for the OHs bday!

Well I’m not ashamed to say we just didn’t manage it last night!
It’s been a long week 😂 but we got the days of/before Ov (as well as Wednesday) covered so I’m not sure there’s much more we could have done.
BFP/AF due 15/07 so let the awful wait commence!

@LokiCat - uhoh! Sounds like you’ve got the dreaded DOMS! We’re at the gym tonight for a CrossFit session as punishment for missing circuits yesterday 😂

@MrsH497 - I’m sure you’ll catch it if you DTD later :)

@Lozzlepop -ooh exciting!! What have you got him? It has been a stupidly long week but we’re nearly there 😃

@ELW85 it has been the longest week ever 🙄sounds like you have covered the bases! I got him some boots, aftershave and a card wallet thing plus some little bits and I am taking him out for lunch on Sunday 😄think he's done not bad!

@Lozzlepop - ah that sounds lovely! He’s definitely done well :)

Is anyone due to test this weekend? I’ve lost track of us all!

@ELW85 well he might have a surprise gift too as I will be testing tomorrow or on his bday as AF was due between today and Sun according to my apps 😄

@Lozzlepop oh no! Do you know whose cats they are? How annoying to be constantly disturbing your sleep!
Ouch your class instructor sounds brutal.
Ah I hope your OH has a lovely birthday and fingers crossed you're able to give him positive news as a birthday present! Good luck for testing tomorrow/Sunday xx

@ELW85 oh I hadn't heard of DOMS until I googled it. I'd normally have a hot bath, but don't think this is the weather for it. Think it'll be a sofa night for me, especially as DH is working a late shift.
Haha hope your punishment isn't too bad tonight!
I'll be testing next week most likely (or keeping everything crossed that AF doesn't show up). AF is due on 15/07 as well. Hopefully next week will go by quickly for us!

@LokiCat I have no idea, I know the woman across the road leaves her cat out all the time so not sure if there's a new cat in the neighbourhood that she's scrapping with. Then it agitates our cat so its a nightmare! Yeah he is, I really think he's ex-military 😂Thanks so much lovely ❤️I have been feeling really sick yesterday and today so I am hoping that I am able to give him an amazing bday surprise 😄What have you got on this weekend?

@Lozzlepop - how exciting! How are you feeling? You’ve done so well not to test!

@LokiCat - ah we’re in it together then :) we can keep each other sane in the wait; I’m sure it’ll fly over though.
DOMS are awful, but having a protein shake straight after a workout definitely helps.

@ELW85 and @LokiCat AF due for me on 17th so very similar.

We DTD last night just in case. We are DTD the day before ov and the day before that so hoping we caught it. I try to think of the TWW as a one week wait as I start testing after 9 days. It seems to make it go quicker for me and testing gives me something to do.

My temps have increased slightly today 2dpo. There hasn’t been a big increase though. I’m hoping it will crease again tomorrow.

OMG I don’t know what’s going on. I got a clear blue peak on Tuesday. I then got a positive on the cheap strip OPKs on Wednesday. Negative on Thursday and then I’ve just got a positive today. What’s going on? Have I not ovulated yet or is it possible to ovulate twice within a couple of days?

@XjustagirlX - ah so we’ll all kind of know around next weekend! Exciting :)

If your temps have gone up, it’s unlikely you’re yet to Ov.
You have LH in your system at a certain level all through your cycle, so it possible you’ve just caught it? But it’s also possible to gear up to Ov (creating highs/peaks) several times a cycle before you actually do Ov.
Have your temps gone up to a range higher than pre-Ov? And by how much?

And also, why are you still doing the OPKs, haha? Is it only me who stops after Ov?

I decided to continue with the cheap tests out of curiosity but also coz I ordered loads of them. I have added my temp chart (hopefully). The temp has gone up but not by loads. Ignore cd11 no idea what was going on.

@ELW85 I have felt sick the past few days but think its just down to poor sleep, had to run for a bus earlier and it nearly ended me lol! I stop my OPKs after OV mainly cos I am so frustrated from holding in wee and dehydrating myself lol!

@Lozzlepop sorry to hear you're feeling sick but hope that's positive news!
I'm going to try and have a relaxing weekend. Out shopping with my best friend tomorrow. Her and her DH are thinking of starting to TTC, so I told her I'd share all my wisdom and knowledge (read crazy obsession) of TTC.
Think DH wants to do some painting on Sunday!

@ELW85 yes, please tell me off if I even think of testing early! I ran out of IC to test on, so don't want to waste the expensive tests!
DH does tell me to drink protein shakes after a workout, but I'm not a fan of them.. maybe I should start listening to him!
I usually test the day after peak to see if it's gone lighter then also get tired of holding my pee in.

@XjustagirlX looking at your temp rise, I wonder if you actually O'd yesterday? I'm no chart expert so I might be wrong!
We can help each other get through the next week then, at least!
I used to start testing from 11dpo with IC and then sit with my phone's torch looking for a line. Going to stay strong this cycle though!

Hi girls! Hope everyone is doing really well - just wanted to update you all as we had our scan today and had the absolute shock of our lives - not only is all looking good, but there are two babies in my uterus! So, after all this time it looks like we are having twins. We are absolutely stunned but totally delighted. Xx

@LokiCat a relaxing weekend sounds good! Oooh good luck imparting your wisdom 🙂

@MrsEG OMG what wonderful news!!!! I am so delighted for you both ❤️what a surprise that must have been, do twins run in your family?

@MrsEG omg, how amazing!!! Congratulations - I'm absolutely over the moon for you!! ❤️ I hope you're celebrating this weekend with your DH! Glad everything is looking good, as well! Please continue giving us updates 😊 xxx

@MrsEG oh goodness!!! Double trouble, hey? 😜 I'm so happy for you that everything's ok! Xx

Evening all!

@XjustagirlX - it’s a tough one! Has your CM changed back to EW?

@Lozzlepop - I think they sound like great symptoms!! Going to keep absolutely everything crossed for you :)

@LokiCat - we will have to keep each other strong :) should we make a pact to not test before 13/07?

@MrsEG - congratulations!! That is absolutely amazing news :) I couldn’t be happier for you! Xx

@ELW85 sounds like a plan! I'm going to give DH my tests to hide as well until then 😂
How was your CrossFit session? Hope your not too sore!

Hope you're* not..!! I can't believe I made that mistake!
