@Gems7 I'm sorta in the same boat i think?? Me and OH DTD on Saturday night, then had my peak ovulation on Monday and didn't DTD again, so I'm not sure if out or not too? 🤷‍♀️

@Laur89 definitely not. Before is definitely a good thing. Some swimmers can get there in hours, but not all. And you'll still have some hanging around from Saturday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Laur89 · 09/10/2019 20:56

Thank you @Gigi318 that's good to hear! I have heard also that it's good to DTD before hand so 🤞 even though I'm not really trying this month lol 😆 😂

@Laur89 exactly. That's what I've always heard/thought. Three days up to O are best chance rather than on the day or after. But I'm not an expert 😂🙈 but just relax a little otherwise you'll drive yourself mad!! It's so easy to do that, isn't it 🙈

Gems7 · 10/10/2019 07:29

@Ellsbells112 I'm hoping it will wake him up a bit too, he was so good all last week aswell. It's not the end of the world though, we've all been there. How many DPO are you now? It's looking good for you this month isn't it, with all that EWCM you had, eeekkk 😬😬

@Gigi318 Thankyou. you are so lovely and have a brilliant way with words, the things you said made me feel so much better yesterday.

@Robbo93 thanks angel, hopefully Sunday's swimmers were Olympic champs 🙌🏻😄

@Laur89 hopefully yours were strong swimmers also, although I think you have DTD at the perfect times really, right before OV.

I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday. I noticed more EWCM throughout the day which is actually more annoying because I never usually do haha but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Sunday was good enough. How is everyone today? How many DPO are we all going with today?
I haven't spoken to my OH yet still, I can be so stubborn 🤣 but technically I haven't seen him either, I got back late from James Arthur and he was in bed asleep then up early for work. I will make peace with him today.
I know it's too early to symptom spot isn't it so I hope everyone is feeling relaxed and positive this month 😊 xx

Gigi318 · 10/10/2019 09:12

Morning ladies, how are we all doing today??

@Gems7 oh lovely lady, bless you're heart. That's a kind thing to say. I'm just being honest 🙊 I'm quite a positive person too and just prefer to be happy and optimistic as much as I can. Whatever the weather, you know? There's always a way to pop on rose-tinted glasses and see some good. Way better way to be, means I'm genuinely quite content most of the time. But I'm usually a highly-strung, firey madam - so I find being like this is way better 🙊 glad it helped you! We all have shit times and emotions and stresses, so never feel like you're struggling alone. Jeez, I'm a hugely emotional person so I know what it's like.

Hopefully you can dive on him ASAP today?? You never know! It could help. Plus, DTD is so good for your mood and your complexion. What's not to love!! Just try not to stress yourself my love, what is done is done. So just enjoy it 😘😘😘

Ellsbells112 · 10/10/2019 09:58

@Gems7 hey girl, glad you seem perkier! Definitely make peace with OH hehe :)
I think I'm like 4-5 dpo...I dont feel out of the ordinary obviously yet and my sore nipples have disappeared so that was obv from ovulation...not really feeling positive this month 🤷‍♀️ I just feel like I cant be bothered 😓 just wanna go on this hen do tomorrow and not think about anything but a good time

@Gigi318 @Laur89 @Robbo93 how is everyone??

Gigi318 · 10/10/2019 10:14

@Ellsbells112 I feel like you should just go and enjoy yourself babe. It's good to take your mind off of TTC as much as you can. It's not going to hurt to have fun this weekend either as, right now, you don't know you're pregnant anyway! So enjoy!
I'm feeling good. Now 2DPO and glad to be in the wait. Roll on 23rd. Nothing to report yet but still very early days and I'm not going to symptoms spot this time. Won't test early unless I really feel off. It's so exciting 🙊🥂

Robbo93 · 10/10/2019 10:17

Morning ladies.

I'm with Ellsbells at around 4/5DPO (purely guessing!)
But please don't feel negative hun I'm sure you've got a fighting chance :D

I've not really had any symptoms either. I'm just soooo tired atm and keep waking through the night.
Had a dream last night that I was confined to a small space and wasn't allowed to use any toilets & I woke up and was seconds away from wetting the bed?? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN I've never had anything like that before & I never usually go toilet during the night?!
& also, could be completely unrelated, but I'm wearing leggings today and the band is really uncomfortable on my stomach :( waaahh

Gigi318 · 10/10/2019 10:35

@Robbo93 hello hello! That's good. A third of the way through now chick, you've got this! Don't worry about no symptoms. I'm pretty sure you don't get any until implantation anyway, anything before that could just be usual cycle symptoms. So it's all a good thing! Awww chick, these dreams are crazy, aren't they! Who knows what it means. So excited that you're getting through it though. Nearly time to test. A week to go!!

Gems7 · 10/10/2019 12:54

@Ellsbells112 @Gigi318 oh yes, tonight I will definitely be making the peace just in case 😆 i can usually be stobborn but I don't have time to waste on that right now 😬

@Ellsbells112 get yourself on that hen do and let your hair down girl. Have a fun weekend and relax. You have done all you can, a few drinks won't harm at this stage when you don't know if you're pregnant or not but I really think you've got such a good chance this month.

Robbo93 · 10/10/2019 12:57

Who knows why there is a line crossed through some of the text in my last post 🤷‍♀️

Yes hate the waiting game. So torturous x

Gigi318 · 10/10/2019 13:24

@Gems7 that's good. Always good to just enjoy time together as much as you can 😘😘😘 and just getting in an extra BD in case!

@Robbo93 it really is chick. Always waiting for something. Let's hope that the wait will be over for us all soon 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Ellsbells112 · 10/10/2019 14:46

@gigi318 @gems7 @robbo93 thanks girls xx

Yeah lol I'll let my hair down!! Omg last night me and OH were super horny looool but since my sister is stshing next door we felt like teenagers Haha! Coildnt do it properly but it was great for the thrill after doing it for a week for a purpose!! Hahaha
Xx

The waiting game is super long I jidy went to my eyelash lady too and shes 10 weeks gone bless her!! Aww it made me feel so positive! X

Gems7 · 10/10/2019 18:27

@Ellsbells112 There's babies all around everywhere I go at the moment. My friend has just had a little girl and it's making my ovaries ache 💕😫

Laur89 · 12/10/2019 19:52

Hey ladies! How's everyone getting on, any symptoms yet? 😆😆 @Ellsbells112 I'm fine thank you, I think I'm about 5 DPO and been getting mild stomach cramps, dunno what that's about cos it's too early for AF! I also feel bloated and got a bit of a belly, if I'm not pregnant I need to go and work out 😂😂😂 how are you lovely?

OP posts:
Ellsbells112 · 12/10/2019 20:07

@Laur89 I know the feeling!! Well I'm on this crazy hen do, no symptoms whatsoever I think I'm about 8dpo. Bloated that's definitely from drinking alcohol and lots of food 🤣🤣 glad you're ok xx

Anny27 · 12/10/2019 22:23

@Laur89 the 5dpo cramps sounds promissing! When i got my bfp i had cramps on day 5!! (And usually never do apart from just before AF)

Fingers crossed for you :D

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 06:36

Morning ladies, Happy Sunday!!!

@Laur89 I'm 5DPO today chick, just one day behind you. I've woken up feeling a bit crampy already today but going to try and ignore it. I really don't want to symptom spot this month as it didn't help me last month 🙈 but it's hard not to when you feel it!!

@Anny27 okay now I've read about your cramping and I'm a bit 😁 but again, don't want to look into it too much just incase. They don't feel bad but just aware of it!

Robbo93 · 13/10/2019 08:01

Morning!
I'm a predicted 7/8 DPO but I could be majorly incorrect on that 🙈

No symptoms really for me, had what felt like butterflies in my stomach Friday night, and then a few tingles yesterday but nothing noteworthy.

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 08:09

@Robbo93 morning chick! It's so hard to ignore it all, isn't it. But I'm the same, trying to not believe anything is obvious. My boobs feel a bit sore but I'm trying to ignore it otherwise I'll overanalyse it all 😂🙈 who knew we could all drive ourselves mad in just two weeks!

Gems7 · 13/10/2019 08:11

Morning girls!
I have no idea how many DPO I am today but I'm going with 4
Nothing to note down really, a few cramps here and there but it could be anything. It seems to be the norm for me after ovulation.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend 😊 xx

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 08:45

@Gems7 that's true, I really don't want to look into anything this month because who knows what it all means 🤷‍♀️ thanks chick, enjoy your day 😘

Laur89 · 13/10/2019 10:56

Girls I don't know what's wrong with me today - I feel so emotional, I feel like crying at the smallest thing, I nearly cried when I dropped my purse at the coffee shop!! So weird!

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 11:26

@Laur89 awww chick, that could be a good thing? A surge of hormones??? I am really tired today but didn't sleep well so I know it's that. Are you still getting cramps?
