Hope you all don't mind me starting this one off, but last one was nearly full... already,

@whatsthecraic91 oh wow that is late, are you getting any other symptoms?
If no BFP or no AF by Monday perhaps go to the GP for a blood test to 100% rule out pregnancy?
You must feel all over the place... just wanting to know one way or the other!

@Kiza it’s all I’m thinking about day and night!! Not really, had very sore nipples last week for a few days but not anymore, my boobs do feel bigger or it could be my imagination!! I’m quite tired too! I think I will just do that, a blood test would rule it completely out so I can stop obsessing!!

I have been so bad with keeping up with these messages recently!

@LokiCat @flossy12 i am the least chilled person when it comes to TTC haha! My DH thinks i am crazy....he probably isnt wrong!

@whatsthecraic91 if its not normal for you it could be a sign! But my AF sometimes starts with a few days of spotting

Welcome @Maria90 :)

I am pretty sure i am ovulatinf early this month (which is a bonus as it means a shorter cycle)

@Anny27 me too, ended up snapping at my OH today 😖

@LokiCat no more cramps today no symptoms at all so not optimistic.

@Larrydavid AF due next Wednesday ish so will hold out as long as I can. I'm not hopeful I have to admit bugger all symptom wise no sore boobs which I had last time (albeit 1 day before AF was due and they just got worse)

How's everyone? Almost Friday!

@LokiCat @Larrydavid - date night is going to be wonderful; DH has booked The Lion King followed by mocktails and steak :)
More importantly we get a weekend together which hasn’t happened in over a month!
I hope you both have wonderful weekends! Xx

Good luck to all testing this weekend 🤞🏻

Morning ladies! What a miserable grey start to Friday! Looks like it's going to be a horrible weekend weatherwise.

@Sunshine8888 I tried to feel for my CP for a few cycles and I just could not get it, but I suddenly realised what I was feeling for last cycle 😂
Definitely try after a shower, as it feels easier. Not sure what other tips I can suggest, I followed a how to guide online 😂
Not able to help re high sex drive, can't say I've felt that  I hope you and your DP have been enjoying it?

@flossy12 ah no, sorry to hear AF has arrived! Treat yourself this weekend and fingers crossed cycle 4 is the one! X

@Larrydavid ah great! I hope you find it useful too :) with the weather changes, not sure if an evening out in London is the best idea. Supposed to start raining heavily from 3pm! 😩

@Anny27 haha I think my DH has given up on trying to understand my obsession and has just let me get on with it! Yay for possible early ovulation! Do all the other signs (temps/CM) point to ovulation, as well? Enjoy getting busy this weekend 

@MrsH497 you're about 9dpo today, right? It's still early to feel symptoms! As you said last time you got them closer to when AF was due (same with me, my boobs felt really sore day before I got my BFP previously). Don't lose hope, fingers crossed it'll happen xx

@ELW85 awww that sounds brilliant! Have a lovely weekend with DH. You both deserve after the craziness you've had. I hope all has settled down now! Xx

Will anyone be testing this weekend? I'm trying to convince my addict side that Sunday will be too early to test (I'll be 10dpo), but with the number of ICs I have, I think she'll win 😂
Have a lovely day all xxx

Morning @LokiCat how are you?

it's so grey and wet here!! Can't wait for 5pm when I walk out and get a weekend with DH!
Yeah 9dpo today. Well I stupidly POAS on IC this morning (I know!!) there's a super faint Evap line I think it's got no colour but came up in time frame. Never seen one on these tests before.

Anyone due to test this weekend?

Morning all TGIF 😊

@Sunshine8888 I get like that! Usually it's in the fertile period, like my body knows I need to dtd 🤣🤣 tingles defo... dame as Maura from love island with her fanny flutters 😂😂

@flossy12 sorry af arrived ☹️

@ELW85 date night sounds fab! We went to see that on Wednesday! It was amazing 😊 enjoy!

@LokiCat I'll be 10dpo on Sunday, I'm not gonna test, I'm not normally a tester unless I'm late, the usually af arrives an hour later 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

@MrsH497 you got much planned for the weekend with DH? Did you take a pic?

@Lottiepink it doesn't come out on a pic at all it's an evap I'm sure nothing more exciting just odd I've never had one before.
We are having take out tomorrow and he's got some studying for an interview to do!

@Lottiepink

@Lottiepink ahh this is why I’m confused as now I’m thinking maybe I’m in my FW now rather than last week as I though. I’ve been trying to look at CM but there’s not really any so it’s difficult to tell! I do feel tired and moody though and have backache which is what happened last cycle the week before AF arrived. Who knows!! Will just keep DTD incase (and to help with those flutters) 😂

@MrsH497 that’s exciting! 🤞🏻 It’s more than evap line - keep us updated!

Happy Friday all!

@LokiCat @Lottiepink thank you huns 😘 going out for the day tomorrow and can have a couple cocktails now so going to enjoy my month before OV comes around again x

@MrsH497 morning! I'm good thank you. I struggled to sleep last night, my mind was constantly wandering re TTC, which I know is not healthy. How are you?
I can't wait for the work day to be over, as well. Similarly, will be spending a rare weekend with DH so looking forward to it!
I see a faint line on the inverted photo, fingers crossed it turns into something positive!

@Lottiepink ah I wish I could be like that.. I get to anxious waiting for AF to arrive. I can be a very impatient person, unfortunately 🙈 I'll only waste ICs though, not the expensive ones!
Ha I loved Maura and her fanny flutter comments, she was brilliant 😂

@flossy12 that sounds great! Definitely enjoy yourself and some cocktails whilst you can :) hopefully Ov day will come again quickly! xx

@flossy12 sorry to hear AF came!

@LokiCat yep i am temping this month so i can make sure that when i think i am OV i am. Hope you manage to hold out testing as long as possible!

@Lottiepink thats the WORST when you test and then AF comes right after!

@MrsH497 ahh testing too early has happened to us all haha!

Has anyone else noticed that the more sex they are having the harder it is to notice EWCM? Before TTC i used to have very noticable EWCM but not its hard to tell!

@flossy12 enjoy every cocktail!! Sorry AF arrived such a bitch!

@LokiCat glad it's not just me imagining things as per! Yeah I'm ok so glad it's Friday been busy this week so looking forward to relaxing a bit. Will hold off further testing until next week I think.

@Anny27 @MrsH497 thanks guys , she is a bitch 😅😅 hopefully I won't see her next cycle though 🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

@Anny27 I have found it hard to work out EWCM too especially with more DTD. Is my CM or......not (TMI) 😂

I find that i’m analysing symptoms that in the past I would just have thought were normal variable cycle symptoms. I’m 9dpo/CD 26. My usual cycle is 27-29 days. i’d Normally have cramps by now and I have nothing. But I feel totally normal otherwise and have my usual sore boobs. Trying to not read anything into it as I don’t want to be disappointed. Off work for a long weekend so trying to distract myself until next week. I’m not even going to buy a PG test until I’m late otherwise I know i’ll Just start testing all the time!

Enjoy your weekends whether you’re having proper cocktails or mocktails! Xx

@macbless hahah yes 😂 thats exactly my thoughts as well when trying to figure out EWCM
Fingers crossed that you manage to distract yourself from symptom spotting over the weekend!

AF is defo here now full force!! Do I take today as cycle 1 or from when I first started spotting? Was going to use the expensive CB digital OPKs this cycle and now I have no idea when to start them!

Roll on 4pm til I get home and get my jammies on!

@whatsthecraic91 - sorry AF got you. Definitely count CD1 as the first day of full flow (so today).

@LokiCat - thank you, we’re doing loads better and really looking forward to date night!

@MrsH497 - got everything crossed for you for when you next test 😊

@elw85 thank you!! So frustrating, she was teasing me all week!! Onto cycle 8 now we are going to try SMEP this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic sorry af arrived. Just in time to have a drink at the weekend though :) @Anny27 @Macbless I know what you mean. I'm not sure I had any this month or if I was just like a slip n slide that's to the DH's Job well done 😂

Feeling more positive today. Mid cycle moodiness is so bad for me. Just have to remind yourself how lucky I am to be alive and loved 🥰

@whatsthecraic91 - it’s always crap when she turns up. Here’s hoping 8 is a lucky number for you 🤞🏻
The SMEP is a challenge, but you’ll get there. I hope you’re treating yourself to something nice tonight!

Hi ladies!

@LokiCat sorry for the super late reply I am 8DPO today 🤷🏽‍♀️ I hope it’s good weather for your London trip 🤞🏻

@Kiza she was amaaaazing! Such a great night!

@Makingawish that’s a fantastic line, congrats again!

@flossy12 sorry the AF appeared

@Larrydavid I know what you mean, it’s an emotional rollercoaster of a ride! What have you got planned for your half day?

@whatsthecraic91 feel like AF has been a complete bitch to you this month but at least you aren’t in limbo anymore! Get yourself some chocolate and have a chilled weekend! Onwards and upwards for the next cycle! Good luck for SMEP, has DH been informed? Mine was on board yo begin with but I think I wore him out lol!

Feeling snoozy after many drinks and a late night then an intense gym session today so looking forward to the weekend although it looks like it’s going to be a washout! What’s everyone got on this weekend?
