Hey everyone! Sorry I need to catch up properly. How are you all? Is anyone almost due to test? I'm got back late last night from the Hen so in absolutely shattered and working today 😢 But on the plus side...af is getting lighter so I'm hoping it's coming to an end and I can look forward to dtd soon...I did pre warn dh last night 😂😂 Just remind me, when do you guys start using opks? I'm cd5 today xx

dancingqueen03 · 09/09/2019 14:54

Hey @MrsSkr hope the hen went okay regarding the AF, it's worst when it gets you unexpectedly

I read on the SMEP that you start around cd8 so if your cd5 your close hun. This is what I'm planning to use do next time if I'm not lucky this time 🤞

MrsSkr · 09/09/2019 14:58

Brilliant thank you! I will definitely start cd8 then....eeek I'm so excited! Yeh the hen went great thanks, only had the one leakage incident which no1 noticed....they did notice when I came back in different pjs though 🙈

How are you getting on lovely? xx

dancingqueen03 · 09/09/2019 18:23

@MrsSkr aww glad your hen went well 😊 it's getting exciting for you now have to let us know how the test come along

I'm not bad in the tww at the moment 6dpo but I'm not getting many symptoms 🤔 so kinda worried just trying to push it to the back of my mind I'm hoping to test some time next week just in 2 minds haha 😂

Destiny25 · 09/09/2019 19:16

Hey girls, how we all doing?
Havnt been on recently been having a shitty time!
My AF finally came last week so currently CD6, I'm hoping I've synced my AF with my work friend (happened last time predictable Monday morning every 4 weeks) so should ovulate in 8 days. Already getting faint opks!
Good luck for this month everyone.

Luxoire · 09/09/2019 21:45

@MrsSkr welcome back hun..glad ur Hen went well and AF is on its way out u can start planning eeekkk...

@Destiny25 are you TTC this month? Ohh if so 8 days is not long to go...

I am CD12 today did and opk and it was negative bur my CM is clear/water lol...hope I peak on Thursday and get a poaitive like my app says...otherwise next month I might have to DTD ALL OF MY FERTILE WEEK...EVERYDAY lol...poor DH..atleast he will be condom free

Grrr she arrived, gutted was hoping for a honeymoon baby.
I guess more fun is to be had next week Haha

wannabemum38 · 09/09/2019 23:37

My positive ov test was on Saturday and luckily DP and I DTD Friday Saturday and Sunday so crossing fingers ladies. Didn't get any CM on ovulation day like last month but I guess could have missed it
Now the TWW Hmm

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 10:04

@Zm2019 hahahah yup more funt o be had indeed and month of being morning sickness free!! enjoy it lol and you can start again

@wannabemum38 ohhh thats exciting - 2WW i am rooting for you, sounds like you caught the O day, lets hope it sticks and implants...keep us posted if you start feeling ANYTHING

My DH brought up the baby convo last night ( I almost choked on my sigar free drink) he never does....lol he said he had been '(get this) 'visualising' having a new baby, wher eit will sleep and he was coming round to the idea but we might have to adapt the house to suit a new baby all over again lol hahahhaah...atleast he is thinking about it lol

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 11:37

So I just did an opk and it was positive..not as dark as the control line but positive none the less...i might do 1 tomorrow too until I get a negative test...does abyone know if you still get a positive AFTER ovulation or only BEFORE the release of the egg?

Just lookong at thr projections for next month...40 weeks from projected ovulation date will put me on the school breaks up which will be perfect timing for not worrying about school run etc....ohhh Lord please make it happen....

@wannabemum38 eeeek! Good luck on your tww! Just because the cm doesnt come out when you wipe, doesnt mean it's not there inside so hopefully it was all just being kept inside to help the little guys on their journey. Good luck!

@Luxoire I'm afraid if the line isnt as dark as control its classed as negative. Sorry hun, BUT it does look very close so I'd be testing twice a day and I'm sure your positive will come in the next day or 2. As iv discovered you can get a second line on opks anytime in your cycle so if it's not as dark or darker than the control it doesnt mean too much xx

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 16:04

@MrsSkr thanks for that...that's helpful to know...i NEVER get any sort of line on the opks at anytime in my cycle except on fertile week and i dont ever remember them getting darker than the control line...hmm that is kind of disheartening, but I will do another test later today

OP posts:
MrsSkr · 10/09/2019 16:30

Oh @Luxoire I'm sorry, I didnt mean to put you down. Dont be disheartened! If you never get a line at all and you have this line then that's a great sign!! This means your getting ready to ovulate, your just not quite there yet. That's a strong opk, just not quite positive yet. It WILL get positive soon, I bet in the next couple of days xx

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 17:43

@MrsSkr.... Ohh dont worry i was just beeing touchy feely darling...knowledge is power and how else am i supposed to plan this and nail it if i am not armed with correct info.

I just did another opk and it looks stronger than this morning's...same colour as the control line...

My af is packing her bags, the taxi is ordered and she is buggering off tonight I think. Going to start my opks on thurs I think xx

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 19:03

@MrsSkr whoop whoop...even though we are not officially trying this month...hopefully it'll make it easier next month. Thanks for your help darling... Glad ur period is on its way out...u can really just focus on tracking ovulation and dtd now xx

dancingqueen03 · 10/09/2019 19:43

Hey guys 😊 how are we all

Made up you have a positive opks @Luxoire can start planning for next month now

Just a question, I haven't been feeling symptoms 🤔 and I'm 7dpo today is that normal? Or do you think I'm out this month? Iv been trying to push it to the back of my mind to stop me worrying over it I'm in two minds I just wanna test but I know I'll be too early to trying to wait till Friday/Saturday but I need to know

Luxoire · 10/09/2019 20:05

@dancingqueen03..aww thanks babe...yeah..roll on next month!

I guess thr surge in hormones is what bring about changes/symptoms so if your hornones are not peaking yet it is poaaibke ita too early as they are building up..alao aome lucky women out there report no synptoms and they dont even know they are preggers! Lol Hahhaha.. I will say its not over till the witch is here...hang in there till the weekend..i'm rooting for you xxx

Hi @dancingqueen03 I'm doing alright thanks, how are you?

How is everyone?

claireb707 · 10/09/2019 20:52

My period finished yesterday so am now back on the temp and opks waiting for that day...

wannabemum38 · 10/09/2019 21:09

Starting new job tomorrow and then birthday next week so I'm going to be busy luckily so my mind will be elsewhere rather than worrying about the TWW

dancingqueen03 · 10/09/2019 21:21

Hi @Luxoire yeah guess your right I think I might test on the weekend I'll be 10/11 dpo do you think that's too early to test?

Aw glad your doing well @HappyGirl86 I'm good in the tww and as you can tell I'm stressed 😂

MrsSkr · 10/09/2019 23:00

Does anyone else find themselves torturing themselves with all this waiting...I seem to lie googling every ttc/smep article. Not only that but also baby names, ways to announce a second pregnancy....even new travel systems... am I crazy?? xx

Luxoire · 11/09/2019 10:41

@claireb707 whoop whoop!! get on the tracking girl - good luck!!

@wannabemum38 ohh goodluck on your new job - yeah sounds like you have a busy few days coming up so should be help keep your mind off

@dancingqueen03 i think that will be ok at 10dpo - some ppl have a faint positive as early as 9dpo - buyt if you dont get it then dont despair just keep trying lol - ohh i am excited for the weekend for you! Bring on Friday!!!

@MrsSkr i am torturing myself lying awake wondering how i am going to cope with 3kids - how i am going to restructure the house and make it baby-proof hahaha... more of the practical things
