@Gigi318 It was sticky yesterday but not see through so I dont know! Besides I still have till the end of the week for all of this to start happening honestly lol so I need to have patience.
Yes it's so much better when its not like a chore right?
Opks can be good but it is annoying to do it day and night and then you get anxious if you dont get a positive so it's like??? I did one a few days ago and it looks positive but I wasnt sure and I think it was longer than the alotted time so I'm not taking it as is lol.

As long as you DTD every other day you're going to catch sooo 🤷‍♀️😁

Have you had O signs?

Gigi318 · 03/10/2019 18:30

@Ellsbells112 that's good to know. Sticky is good, even if not clear. I think!? CM is watery for me at the moment so I'm pleased about that. No pain or EW/sticky yet, although sex drive is up so that's a good sign. I'm thinking I may O over the weekend or Monday at the latest. OH away Tues&Weds so will cover Mon and then Thurs when he is back, just in case. Oh absolutely. I'm thinking if we just enjoy it and try to cover as much as poss it can only be a good thing 🤷‍♀️🤞🏻

Ellsbells112 · 03/10/2019 18:47

@Gigi318 yes I see! Mines watery today too but what does that mean? Isnt that just norm? Or dry is like no chance of getting preggars and watery is like "get ready girl" lol haha

Yeah dont you think it's funny that when you are due to ovulate it's like your body welcomes doing the deed? Hahaha it's great!

Gigi318 · 03/10/2019 18:54

@Ellsbells112 yes watery is on the lead up to O and dry is usually not fertile. I think! Absolutely, it's nature. So, so clever! And so I always think it's a good sign when I'm feeling it!

Gems7 · 03/10/2019 19:00

@Gigi318 yes I feel good Thankyou hun, really positive this month  it's hard not to get obsessive with it all isn't it but I'm really trying to relax this month
@Ellsbells112 Thankyou lovely, you too

Gigi318 · 03/10/2019 20:25

@Gems7 that's all very true, I'm trying to be as relaxed as possible as well. But we shall see, yes really easy to obsess I think so trying to keep things as casual as I can. Feeling good too, I think - although tired today, so that doesn't help!

Gems7 · 03/10/2019 21:04

@Gigi318 My other half isn't feeling very well at the minute which isn't helping. He has a cold and is currently coughing and spluttering all over the place.. we are DTD every other day though which is today.. so he's just going to have to have some lemsip and soldier on haha bless him xx

Gigi318 · 03/10/2019 21:13

@Gems7 oh no. My OH was like this last week, thankfully he is better now! That's good soldiering on. Hopefully he doesn't make you poorly!

Ellsbells112 · 03/10/2019 21:41

@Gems7 @Gigi318 hahaha yeah! I've got the flu and given it to my other half too so we are sickly DTD I find it hilarious sniffling away pahahaha

It is easy to obsess 🙄

Gems7 · 03/10/2019 22:13

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 germs will not stop us on our mission girls haha

Ellsbells112 · 03/10/2019 22:27

@Gems7 @Gigi318 hahaha not germs and not arguments! Last night we had a ridiculous argument and he tried to say he was sleeping on the couch HAH I think not 🤣 I was like "you are not ruining our one week in the month!!" 🤣🥰

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 06:25

Morning everyone!

@Ellsbells112 oh no, that sucks. We all pick it up at this time of year. OH had man flu last week and think I have it now. Woke up feeling all sinusy and sore throat. I have hayfever so it's never easy to tell what's what 🤣🙊 awww love you, hope he did come to bed!

@Gems7 how are you doing today?

How is everyone? X

Gems7 · 04/10/2019 07:14

@Ellsbells112 that's hilarious! Haha I dragged OH upstairs when according to him he "was on deaths door" I was all "it doesn't matter sweet pea you've got work to do come on" haha he feels a bit better this morning thank god!
I argued with him at the beginning of last week because he made me choose what we were having for tea and I didn't know what I wanted. I had a full meltdown about it and at the time thought I was certain it was a sign I was pregnant. It must have been because AF was due. At times I do wonder why he loves me so much haha he's fab.
@Gigi318 yes I'm good this morning thanks hun how about you? Hoping I start to feel some ovulation twinges today or tomorrow because I did at this point last month and then I'll know I'm roughly on track! Although I suppose if you just DTD at least every other day for a couple of weeks you have to catch it surely?
Have a good day girls! Xx

Laur89 · 04/10/2019 09:19

Hi @Ellsbells112 thank you for checking in with me! I'm fine, how are you? Think I'm meant to O beginning of next week but not sure, not stressing this month because we are in the middle of buying a house and had a family emergency this week so it's all been crazy, not gonna force it this month and focus on everything else - but if it happens then great 😆 x

Ellsbells112 · 04/10/2019 09:51

@Gems7 @Gigi318 its hilarious isnt it hahaha we was talking last night and he was like "it's weird when it's kind of forced though right? Like we are doing it for a reason not just pleasure" I'm liiiiiiike sorry we arent in the honeymoon stage anymore LOL

I for one woke up allllll excited loads and loads of EWCM! BOOYA haha I did a little dance to my OH about it, excited much!

@Laur89 aww sounds like a plan! Congratulations girl buying your house is a massive great step so well done to you guys! I'm hoping to buy soon too, maybe by end of the year! Fx :) yeah if it happens to happens I hear that! X

ForGoodnessCake · 04/10/2019 10:48

Yeah, totally not as crazy as I was past few month, thought DP was freaking out about the concept of #4 so of course I done what any good gf would do........... I bought THE sexiest lingerie EVER 😂
needless to say he's like a dog on heat..... So that will be coming out nearer ovulation 😂😂

Gems7 · 04/10/2019 13:02

@Ellsbells112 ooooooo EXCITING 😬

@ForGoodnessCake tactical.. I like it! Xx

Ellsbells112 · 04/10/2019 13:08

@gigi318 hope you're okay?
I had the scan done, didn't seem like the lady was worried but I have to wait for results, pretty sure it's fine as I saw a juicy egg ready and waiting to be taken!! So that's good stuff! :)

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 14:37

@Gems7 that's definitely it! Just try to cover off bases and see what happens! That's my plan. Are you having any O twinges yet?

@Ellsbells112 yay for the EWs. Hope you DTD as well as your little dance hehe! Oh wow, you saw an egg, that's so good! Let's hope the swimmers are almost to it. Not long for them to take it! How exciting!!!

@Laur89 hope you're doing okay! It sounds like you've got a lot going on, but that can be a good thing so you're not worrying so much about TTC.

@ForGoodnessCake good idea - I think I will be stealing the idea this weekend so my OH doesn't get bored with my 'baby' agenda 🙄🙊

Ellsbells112 · 04/10/2019 15:51

@Gigi318 yassss exciting! Dtd at like 2am so I think we are good. Round 2 tonight 🤣🙌
How are you doing chick? X

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 16:06

@Ellsbells112 oh goodness me, you night owl 🤣 woohoo. I am well thank you, babe. Although feeling a little deflated today. Doing some cleaning now and then relaxing though, so that will perk me up. Hurrah!

Robbo93 · 04/10/2019 16:32

Hiya ladies.
CD18 for me and this is why I get confused lol

Anyone starting the TWW
Ellsbells112 · 04/10/2019 16:43

@Gigi318 its him not me I want to do it earlier Haha!

What's wrong?? Dont be down ❤ you're so lovely and positive 🥰🤗 stay happy and keep those hormones happy xx
Vent to me!

@Robbo93 I'm not opks anymore, I've been doing them day and night and not one positive, today I had a scan done and I saw the egg literally ready to pop so🤷‍♀️ if you're going to use them I'd suggest the clear blue ones I've heard great stuff about those

Robbo93 · 04/10/2019 16:47

@Ellsbells112 I've never, ever seen a positive OPK myself but I have all the symptoms of Ov so I guess I am ovulating in a monthly basis. I used the clear blue ones a few months back and got a static smiley but obv nothing came of it 🤕

That's amazing! I'd love to see that 😂

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 17:08

@Ellsbells112 hehehe bless you, that's good though! I'm all good, I think it's the weather 🤣 but I had a good clean and now in the bath so I'm feeling much like myself again now. I also got some new fluffy pyjamas to wear and so I'm feeling all 🥰 now!
