Hey, so was a little flakey on August bus because this is so hard, but I like the support and folk with bfps give me hope.

Anyway, I am on cycle is seven now, period due first or second September. But will probably poas end of Aug because I turn into a sucker for punishment the week before.

How are you all doing? Will be happy and sorry to see familiar names back.

I also will disappear for days at a time, which doesn't mean I'm ignoring folk, but finding it too intense.

Love and luck

Would love to hear about this month's lovely distractions

I'm joining on too!

TTC #1
Age 24
Cycle 4
Cd 5
Ovulation due 27th
AF due 9th Sept

I recognise some names in this chat unfortunately, it's great to have some support the more cycles that go by makes it so hard and you ladies really do help to let me know I'm not alone in this, even if OH is 100% supportive they just can't understand the way we do!

@Sleepyhead11 I'm the same I will hop in and out, normally around AF as I get really down around that time but been ok this time round 🤞🏻

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 11:53

@Thistle23 ooohh exciting! Hope it's a lovely day for you!

Thistle23 · 12/08/2019 12:14

@Flossy12

I just want it over and done with Blush too many family members wanting it done their way.

Mimi91 · 12/08/2019 12:16

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 12:25

@Thistle23 my sister got married a couple weeks ago she said she's glad she will only ever do it once 😅 I can't imagine the stress that goes into it! Hopefully the weather cheers up for you! Are you in the UK?

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 12:27

@HayleyD84 welcome 🤗 big hugs to cheer you up! I'm on cd5 so not that far ahead of you x

Thistle23 · 12/08/2019 12:49

@flossy12 I'm in Scotland , usually August is lovely Confused not this year Angry

I will never do it again, even if heaven forbid something happens to my OH or we divorce . Original idea was stroll into booked registry office in plain clothes and get it done, family had other ideas and we got swept up.

As a result of that we aren't telling anyone we are ttc.

HayleyD84 · 12/08/2019 12:52

Thank you @flossy12 xxxxx

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 12:58

Oh gosh! I'm down in Yorkshire it's been raining on and off for weeks 😂😂

Yeah me and OH have discussed registration office and nice meal with drinks after but it's a little while away for us yet I think

Only 4 people know we are TTC, haven't said anything to my parents or older sisters, my dad already asked the other weekend how long me and OH we're going to make my mum wait for a grandchild 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I know he didn't mean anything bad by it but bearing in mind we're now on cycle 4 it hit hard x

Thistle23 · 12/08/2019 13:08

@flossy12

it still is small but not with the added dresses , cakes etc , I kinda wish i had went to Gretna Green Grin

it's annoying because my brother has just managed to get his ex girlfriend pregnantAngry. I said something and she was like but you don't want children , I was raging just because I've not told her I want them doesn't mean I don't want to have children.

Thistle23 · 12/08/2019 13:10

I mean my mum by that last part

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 13:19

Oh I see 😅😅

Yeah there's plenty of people where I live that are having babies left right and centre, none of my family/friends are pregnant so that makes it a little easier for me but there's 4 people at work who are walking round with their little jumps and I'm just so jealous 😭😭

Raizelrea · 12/08/2019 15:57

@Thistle23 I hope you have an amazing time on Friday! I also got married recently and for what it's worth, as much as I hated the planning and the stress and the family drama that comes with the organising, it did end up being the best day of my life so the pain is worth it!

Stupidly I did tell the in-laws about us trying to start a family at a recent family gathering (they were talking about a big overseas family trip in two year's time and I told them I'm hoping to have a baby by then so don't think it's feasible). So now OH's entire family knows how broody I am Confused

Coastaldreamer · 13/08/2019 09:48

Jumping on this bus as AF showed her ugly face yesterday...

Hoping for a lucky 🍀 cycle 7

Anyone doing anything different this cycle ?

I have purchased Conceive plus and will be OPKing to feel I'm giving myself control as I've got irregular cycles

Thistle23 · 13/08/2019 10:33

@Raizelrea

hopefully I feel the same come Friday .

flossy12 · 13/08/2019 10:49

Found out last night that the girl my OH was seeing before me has moved into the terrace next door to us 🙃🙃 she messaged him last night acting all nicey nicey sending kisses and stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️ she's pregnant aswell with her new BF just to rub salt in the wound and making me feel more barren 🥴🥴

Coastaldreamer · 13/08/2019 11:09

@flossy12 ughhh that's annoying. I bet all you wanna tell her to do is do one!

Thistle23 · 13/08/2019 11:19

@flossy12 that's terrible !

flossy12 · 13/08/2019 11:26

@Coastaldreamer @Thistle23 Yes!! We are currently saving to buy, this is making our determination to save 100% higher 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I just can't believe it

lornz · 13/08/2019 11:37

We're kind of into this on as AF is due on the 7th September.

TTC no. 2
Cycle 1.5 (we were t fully trying/not trying last cycle - and had very faint BFP for 2 days before AF arrived)
CD 4
AF - 7th September
Age 27 - had DS age 5 when I was 22

Currently waiting for AF to go away then going to use the SMEP and OPK to boost our chances. I tend to ovulate a little later around CD 17/18

Fingers crossed everyone

Raizelrea · 13/08/2019 12:00

@flossy12 What a nightmare! Have they bought the house or are they just renting, and do you think she moved next door deliberately or is it a coincidence?

Either way if her priority at this time of her life is texting her ex while she's expecting a baby with another man, her life is probably not much to be jealous of!

flossy12 · 13/08/2019 12:17

@Raizelrea they will be renting as it's the same landlord as ours that owns the property, I have no idea if she knew but we've lived here over a year now 🤦🏼‍♀️ and I've been good friends with the previous neighbour who is her friend 🤦🏼‍♀️

Aww thank you sweetie 😅😅 that's true x

HayleyD84 · 13/08/2019 14:28

@Coastaldreamer sorry AF got you. I'm on CD2 also.

Ive been trying: Ava Bracelet to track by BBT, Fertility Smart advanced vitamins, husband is taking wellman vitamins. using OPK's. Last month I used pre-seed for the first time (although since found out I was doing it wrong Confused

I really want to give the SMEP a go, every one is raving about it. unfortunately I am away from CD8-13 so can only try from 13 but going to try it from then. If not i'll try it hopefully by the letter the cycle after!

Coastaldreamer · 13/08/2019 15:08

@HayleyD84 sucks doesn't it..

I've also been wanting to try SMEP but I'm away for work and back on cd 10 so not sure whether to just go for it every other day and not when we get the surge on OPK.

We are being tested atm so got my day 2-4 bloods tomorrow morning. Hoping everything comes back ok 🤞🏼

How were you doing pre seed wrong? How are you supposed to do it? X
