Old one almost full!

@ELW85 massive congratulations!! How dpo are you now? I had a feeling it was going to be good news for you x

@Lozzlepop - 1.30 is waaaay too late for me too! I think I’d be gutted about the cured meats too! I hope dinner was still good though?
You’ve kept going at the gym too, haven’t you? Just trying to figure my boundaries out!

And thank you - I’m beyond thrilled 😄 10dpo but I’ve got an 11 day LP so I think it’s about right!

@MrsH497 - thank you so much, lovely 😊 I’m 10 DPO but my cycles are only 25 days with an 11 day LP so I’m hoping the line is where it needs to be at x

@LokiCat sorry about your BFN! Hopefully next month is your month xx

@ELW85 @newgirl89 @Lozzlepop @Anny27 thanks ladies!

@ELW85 enjoy celebrating when DH gets home 😊 xx

@FlorenceLane sorry to hear about your BFN! 10dpo is still early, so fingers crossed you're still in!

@Eventrider1 welcome! I know it's really difficult when it seems like everyone seems to be getting pregnant so easily. I have everything crossed that this is your month :)

@Lozzlepop 1:30 is very late! I start getting tired by 10-11pm these days 😂
Sounds like you got away without most people realizing :) I hope you had a nice dinner!
Glad the nausea is still around but hope it's not too bad!

We're on the way to my parents now for the bbq, although it's just started raining! Hope you all have a lovely Sunday ❤️

Enjoy the BBQ, @LokiCat - you deserve the best of times, lovely!

@ELW85 omg congratulations!!!

No sign of af for me currently and actually feeling pretty nauseous today... think it might be anticipation

@Mrskcam - thank you so much! Got everything crossed for you that this is your cycle :)

@ELW85 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 🎉 ❤️ xxx

@ELW85 Congratulations lovely, great news xx

Any ladies who do OPKs do you think is positive or still negative? Not sure whether the test line is the same or slightly lighter

@ValidUser @MrsEG - thank you so much, lovelies!
What a morning! Sending love to you both xx❤️

Your thoughts on this ladies... my CM is clear and stretchy and there's a lot of it cervix seems high and closed??

Feeling weird, off to buy a test

@MrsH497 that's what I have! Af a no show for me so far and I'm like clockwork

I'm not due till next weekend only 9dpo @Mrskcam but so much CM and a cervix quite high and firm 🤔good luck with your test!!

@Anny27 - I’d say that’s v v high, if not peak. Have you got an app that can interpret it? I use Femometer and it reads them for you and tells you if it’s high or peak!

@Mrskcam - good luck! I hope it’s good mews for you :)

@MrsH497 - I had that on Tuesday. Are you planning on testing next week?

Is it better for me to wait until tomorrow to test with fmu or is it worth a test today as it's the day af due anyway?

Oooh @Mrskcam good much with your test!!

Can you ladies teach me about OPKs. When you do them, what the benefit is!

My DP wants us to be casually trying! I think I can speak for all girls. We don't casually try lol!

I just want to do everything I can!

X

@ELW85 thanks! No i dont have an app like that but i will look into it as didnt know they existed!

@Mrskcam when are you due AF? If you are late then any time of day is good to test xx

@Anny27 - I only know about Femometer as I bought the bbt thermometer from them (Bongmi on Amazon) and it’s part of the app. Really helpful though! I’ve posted a screenshot of it reading my OPKs

@newgirl89 - OPKs are massively helpful in narrowing down when you ovulate.
You can only really get pregnant a handful of days a month (in the run up to Ovulation) and so if you use OPKs, they measure a hormone called LH which surges 12-36 hours before Ovulation.
If you catch the surge on OPKs, you can time DTD more effectively to get pregnant.
Hope that helps?

@Mrskcam - If you’re due today, I think you can test anytime. Good luck :)

@ELW85 thanks :) i just put in my test and it said high so might test again this evening and see if it has peaked, if not it will probably be tomorrow :)

DTD last night so hopefully on track!

@Anny27 - ah great stuff! You’ll probably peak tonight from the looks of that, so good luck and definitely sound alike you’re on track with DTD :D

@ELW85 I’m not long home and I am shattered! It was a good night and got a mcds on the way home lol! yeah I still go to classes twice a week! As long as you were doing exercise beforehand you should be good! Have you told DP? Have you told Caroline? 😂

@LokiCat it really is, I’m usually in bed by 11! Yeah still feeling nauseous but think I managed to get away with last night, next event is with my friends and I’ll be 9 weeks so will probably tell them if we’ve had a private scan by then! Hope the rain goes off for the bbq!

@Anny27 Looks positive to me

@Mrskcam I have everything crossed for you

@Lozzlepop - ah yeah, I’ve been doing circuits and CrossFit for a while, so I think I’ll keep going but just not full throttle.
DH is still at work and it feels awful to not have told him yet, but fingers crossed he’ll be home soon!
Caroline seems too sleepy to care 😂
