@Hewie30 oh I hope so chick. I've actually tried to be proactive and time things right this time. So fingers crossed it's worked. So stressful, hey 🙈 Oh absolutely, it's so good for you mentally, isn't it?
Yes! I love all of the food and shops and events in London, but it's far too hectic for me. I'm used to my country life! I'm in marketing 🥰 and I love it!! Been freelance for about five years and I'm so lucky. All ready to be a working from home Mama.
It really does. We weren't trying in August but I randomly thought I could be PG so POAS but wasn't. Then last month I really didn't have a clue but only realised after the FW. And this month I'm on it. So it's technically month two hehe! Yes I'd say you're month five TBH as the first doesn't really count!
Yes absolutely. I cannot wait to have the whole wedding thing. But I don't feel like I have to be married for us to be official. I know I will spend the rest of my life with him so I'm in no rush. I think I would like to have our children first then get married - unless we strike it rich and can do it in the midst of everything 🤣🙈🙊 awww that's lovely. Fingers crossed he will pop the question soon!!
Arghhh to last month. Well you will just have to cover off all of those dates to be sure. It's good you're being relaxed though because you literally have no idea when and that sounds really annoying. I am loving this month so far!

4 days late now, just took an ovulation rest and got this! So confused now, maybe I’m only just ovulating now?!?

Can you take another pregnancy test? @ACMJ

I'm now day 3 of period and sorry for tmi but it's not like other periods have been - very very light flow (not even really enough for a pantyliner), dark brown blood and it appears to have almost stopped. Stupid body

Morning ladies, how are we?
@Gigi318 and your TWW begins! I have my fingers crossed for you x
@claireb707 my period last month was exactly like yours, very little, panty liner was enough and it lasted 3 days x
@ACMJ welcome! I think you should do pregnancy test, the ovulation tests are known to pick up pregnancy hormones, so it may actually be positive for pregnancy!
@Hewie30 how are you feeling?
I'm on CD23, so about 10DPO today. No more pains today at all. Boobs still very sore, heavy and full. I'm feeling terribly bloated and gassy , which is quite normal for me before af arrives, but this time it's a bit extreme lol x AF due 15th, so only 5 days to go x I've got some cheapies at home, which I will probably be tempted to use during the weekend. If AF doesn't arrive on Tuesday morning ( I always wake up and it's there) then I'll order FRER from amazon, so I'll receive it on Wednesday. I've got that feeling it is not my month, don't know why. But that's better than false hope.

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@claireb707 oh babe, what a nightmare. I do think our bodies play tricks on us because mine was also really light and only lasted 3 days (with spotting either side) which isn't normal for me. So so strange. So what CD are you now?

@Katie1109 yessss 2DPO now. Finally made it into the TWW. I'm actually really excited this time around rather than anxious or apprehensive. Eeek. It's nice. Hope we've covered ourselves 🤞🏻 CM seems to be creamy/milky so would definitely say I've O. Woohoo. Ohhhhh 10DPO that's so exciting. Not long to wait now! The sore boobs are such a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

It's so good that we all seem to be at different points in our cycles as there's always something to be excited about - don't you think? We always seem to have a steady flow of testers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Gigi318 I hope it will be your month x your positivity carries all of us through the bfn's , so I'd like it to happen for you this month! You've been a great support x
I've just noticed a lot of quite thick,white CM (sorry TMI) don't know whether that means anything x I'm feeling very mild twinges in my lower back now too, but this can be anything from exercise, to the position I sit in at my desk lol x or I'm just imagining it x

@Katie1109 oh babe, thank you. What a wonderful thing to say. I hope it is too 🙌🏻 I hope it is for you too babe. Your signs all seem so good. I believe creamy CM is post O. They so say lots of creamy CM can be an early sign of PG but it's not always as some people just get lots of it post O. Mine is also like this now and has been since yesterday. So I'm seeing that as a successful O. Woohoo! Oh I hope this is your month - it's all so exciting 🥂👏🏻

Cd3 now. Feels like a long way to wait 😂

@claireb707 oh babe this was me last week. Or the week before 🤔 like a day or two into AF I felt relief as no longer worrying or wondering if PG. And then I got bored and just wanted to get to DTD time 🙊🙊🙊

@acmj Hi Hun, what cd are you? I had the same thing happen to me on CD26 and I was ovulating late but also happened again when I was due but unfortunately I had a chemical so it could be you could possibly be pregnant, have you done a test?

@gigi318 Fingers crossed! I've got everything crossed for you hun ❤️. Yeah most definitely stressful, I honestly never thought it would be this stressful! I've even started hiding ads on Facebook saying their too sensative of a subject for me lol!
Yeah it really is hectic, everyone's always rushing and running everywhere and people can be quite rude.
Oooo that sounds amazing! What a great set up for when you have a little peanut too 😍.
That's a lovely way of thinking of it! I feel the same, I know I'll be with him for life but I love the thought of getting married to him and having family there to celebrate with us but like you we've agreed babies first then get married. I hope so! He's got my birthday tomorrow, our anniversary and Xmas coming up but I know he won't 😂.
Yeah it's very annoying!! I have NO idea but there's no point stressing over it so I'm staying chilled. I haven't done a opk in 3 days so I might do one tomorrow to see if it's getting darker

@Katie1109 I'm good thank you hun, trying to stay in the positive mind frame! Staying away from opks which I'm really proud of myself for but might do one tomorrow to see if it's getting darker at all as I have noooo idea of when I'm going to ovulate, my apps are saying different fertile days.
Oooo how exciting 😍, that all sounds SO positive, especially the fact that it's more intense then normal! That's a good idea take a cheapie at the weekend because... Why not?! You never know you might have a lovely surprise and they are cheap. Don't feel disheartened though if a line doesn't appear or think your out because sometimes their a tad rubbish. Don't feel like that babe you never know! Your doing everything you can, your covering yourself and you have all the positive symptoms. Plus it can really only take once 😊

@Hewie30 Oh absolutely. I'm just refusing to let it be a stressful experience. I just want it to be lovely - no matter how long it takes. I won't let it break me, that's for sure. Oh love you, I don't blame you - things can be such triggers. A lovely lady said to me yesterday 'Oh I never wanted kids, I'm just not maternal' - she has two DCs three and six. Luckily it didn't strike a chord, but it could have!
Awww thanks chick, that's what I though. Well, that and I want to be my own boss. I'm not very good at being told what to do 🙊 Oh absolutely, I agree. I can't wait to get married. But I also know what I want and I think we should spend money on a house first, rather than the wedding. But it will happen when it's meant to 🥰 That would be so lovely. I hope he does soon as I know that will make you so happy. How exciting. OH and I also have our anniversary, Christmas, and both birthdays all close together. Which is why I would like a summer baby 😍🙊
That's the spirit chick, you've nailed it! The more relaxed you can be the better. Just DTD as much as you can and when you feel like it, and it will happen 🥂🙌🏻

@Hewie30 hey! I am CD 36 now! Oh no I am sorry to hear that. yes I have done many (much to my OH shock at the prices haha) but I went to the doctor earlier on today and they got a negative as well so I have no idea!

I'd love to get married to mr707 too, we've been together 4 years, living together for almost a year. I keep wondering if he is going to ask me

Was with my ex for 10 years married for 7, hindsight I shouldn't have married him - we were engaged within 4 months and living together after 6 months.

I want this time to be really special, even more because we are so alike and have similar tastes (apart from.his dodgy music taste 😂😂), don't mind which order we do kids / marriage in just want to do both!

@ACMJ oh chick, just hold out hope. Who knows that's going on with your cycle BUT it will become clear in time. It may just be a super long cycle for you, as it can take time to get to a regular length.

@claireb707 aww babe that's so lovely! I'm so pleased that you're smitten with Mr. 707. It makes me so happy. Your wedding and baby 707 will come. Just know that, and it will keep your calm. You've got the rest of your life, it will happen babe 💖 I think we may get married more nearer 40. As (all being well) I'd like to pop out a troup and that may take a while 🤣🤣🤣

Hi ladies, sorry been awol this week, busy week at work and haven't been on MN as much as I knew I was out this month. AF started this PM after I had a big temp drop this morning. It's so interesting seeing the temp changes in line with the cycle. Only CD23 today and 2 days early though so quite a short cycle. At least it means I can get on with the next one quicker! Always makes me happier once AF is over and I can move into FW and be more positive about things. Had a big cry this morning and my friend is having a really hard time grieving her mum, so opened up a bit to her too. Feels good to talk especially on World Mental Health day. This process really does mess with your mind!

Hope everyone is good and looking forward to you all testing! It's good we are at different points so there's always something going on! X

Happy Birthdayyyyyy @Hewie30 🥂💖 Hope you have a fantastic dayyyy!!

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@Makeafamily19 have you had a nice relaxed week?? Sorry to hear that AF has arrived but you seem to be in really good spirits chick, and that makes me happy! Good for you. And yes, it will soon be FW again. Just try to DTD as much as you can and it will happen! Hope you're feeling better this morning after your big cry, I always find it helps. That's what I did last month! Exactly there's always something to follow along with on here. It's lovely!

@claireb707 @Katie1109 @myttcjourney @ACMJ Happy Friday ladies, how are we all?

@Raizelrea how are you doing this week chick, missing you! Hope you're feeling okay and sending love to you and OH 💖

@flossy12 hurry up and come home from holiday now chick, you're making us all jealous 🙊😘 Hope you're having a wonderful time.

And finally, I don't know who needs to hear this but, you're all wonderful women who will make amazing mamas, and it WILL happen for you. Keep DTD, keep smiling, and stay positive ladies, we've got this 💫

Happy birthday @Hewie30 hope you have a fantastic day! xx
No changes here ladies, 11DPO, boobs extremely sore but nothing else x af due on Tuesday x how is everyone else doing?

@Katie1109 morning lovely lady! Oohh getting close. Do you usually have sore boobs? Mine feel quite tender this morning. I'm 'aware' of them, if that makes sense. No idea if this is normal but not looking into it too much 🙈 3DPO today and feeling pretty normal!

Happy birthday @Hewie30 ! 🎈

Thanks @Gigi318 you are so lovely ❤️ thanks for lifting everyone up! Yes I feel better today, it's always the worst time during the spotting, just knowing AF is rocking up but having to wait it out. Had a big glass of baileys last night which helped 😂
I think I just need a reality check that actually 5 months TTC is normal and I need to be patient!

Nearly there @Katie1109 🤞🏼

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday!

@Gigi318 it is normal for me 4-5 days before af, but this time it started 9-10 before . I'm not too hopeful, but hey. What will be will be x 4 days to go x

@Makeafamily19 you're welcome chick, I woke up feeing particularly peppy, so thought I share it out 🙊 that's good chick. Absolutely, it takes time - especially if not quite matching up DTD at the right time. But it will happen!

@Katie1109 oh that's exciting. I will keep my excitement and positivity down as much as poss as I know you want to keep neutral 😬 but that does sound good. Eeeek!! I'm going to try and keep myself from symptom spotting too. We shall see 🙊

@gigi318 @katie1109 @makeafamily19 Thanks ladies ❤️😘

I think I have just seen tiny, poppy seed size spot of pinkish blood when wiped! Although I might just be seeing things x No twinges or pains anywhere x still just sore boobs x

Happy birthday 🍾 🎂 🎁 @Hewie30

I'm so glad it's Friday, it's been a shit week! 1st was being back at work after hols, 2nd was period arriving, 3rd my mum spent all day at A&E on Wed as she was having balance issues and dizziness vomiting, lots of tests, waiting for an MRI and new medication she is finally able to stand up on her own with out throwing up but I'm still worried about her.

In some ways though it a good thing period did arrive as it means I can have gin!
