@Gigi318 thanks hun x I just don’t know what to think or believe in anymore. I feel exhausted today, haven’t slept well at night at all, my head feels like it’s goinng to explode :(

@Katie1109 it's rubbish isn't it. Like your body is playing tricks with you. I was doing fine and now this CM has me like 👀 what's going on. There's been more of it. It's 100% CM not pure bloody spotting. So 🤷‍♀️ Trying to remember if my spotting last month was this pale - pretty sure it was a medium brown but I have no idea!!!

@Raizelrea Welcome back hun, hope your okay? My cycle seems to have shortened this month as Gigi says so that's good! Got my peak opk yesterday so dtd and definitey feel painful overies today so today's ovulation 🤞

@gigi318 Haha you will be an amazing mum!! You'll be such a laugh 🤣. I'm so excited for us too I just hope we don't have to wait too long! She didnt have that no buuuuut that definatly sounds like implantation especially at 9dpo it's spot on when you usually would! 😍. I'm so frigging excited for you to test!!!!!!
My opk today is fainter so today is ovulation day 🙌. We dtd last night so I'm covered for today! I might try again tonight but if we don't I'm not going to worry too much and just keep everything crossed!

@Katie1109 Oh hun I know how you feel. It is such a difficult time TTC, it certainly has a lot of downs especially emotionally. I felt exactly like you last month with my 42 day cycle and I had symptom galore! I felt so negative going into this month. How long did your bleeding last? It could be a dodgy AF. Apprently sometimes we can have odd AFs and then it regulates but definitely take a test before you think that because it could be that your HCG takes a while to build.
It's so tough and really gutting at times but you've got us for support. Last month everyone was amazing with me. This month were doing the laid back approch but I'm doing opks on and off

@Hewie30 hi there x I’m glad more relaxed approach is working for you. It lasted about 2.5 days on and off. Very,very light. But it was the same last month :( I just feel so fed up with it all I’m ready to just give up :(

@Hewie30 amazing chick, sooooo glad you found your O day. Woohoo! Do you think??? It is distinctively pinkish brown - not just because I want it to be 😂🙈 very pale and pinkish. It's just so much to try and take in.
Awwww thanks chick that's such a lovely thing to say 💖 and you too!

@katie1109 If it was the same as last month then you might have a generally light period. Mine are the same they last about 3 days and only one of those days will be a medium flow, the others will be light or even spotting. Try and bare with it hun, it is really hard! Emotionally, physically and in your relationship. If you feel you need a little break from ttc or taking a step back like myself then please do. Please think about yourself during this.

@Gigi318 Eeek me too! It was faster peak this time too so it's thrown me a little bit 🤣. Light pink or a pink/brown is definitely the standard colour of implantation! I now literally can't wait for you to test!!!! It's true hun! Awh thank you ❤️

@Katie1109 Hewie is right, maybe your cycle is just adjusting? Mine is 3 days (apparently, after properly tracking last month) with very light on last day and then spotting for a few days after. Suuuuuper light. OR, it's PG related. So hard to know!

@Hewie30 SEE. Relaxation WORKS 🙌🏻 literally you got it and you're way more chilled with the approach this time right??
Arrgghhhhhhh! I just do not want to get my own hopes up! But I kinda sorta do at the same time 🙈 I sound crazy. We shall just see if it stops! I am excited to test. Ish. I will be more excited if this CM buggers off 🙊
Also, my neck feels a lot better today 🙌🏻👀 which is such a blessing for a chick that sits in front of a laptop all the live long day!!!!

@Gigi318 Haha it definitely does but I can't help but think the pregnacare played a part too. We'll see next month hopefully this month isn't a fluke! Yeah I've been hugely relaxed leading up to now. Today I got a bit of anxiety just because I'd like to dtd tonight but not sure if we will, I'm trying to think it doesn't matter as I'm covered for yesterday but I know if I don't get my positive I'll put it down to not dtd tonight which is silly 🤣.
Yessss definatly get your hopes up cos that's a massive sign! Hopefully it is what we think it is 🤞. What cm are you currently getting? If it's creamy that's normal

@Hewie30 I absolutely agree based on what everyone has said about it and their own cycles! Try not to overthink it as that will drive you crazy! But maybe you will get to DTD? Could always put on some lingerie and wow OH?
Hopefully! Yes it's been creamy. Dried up a little yesterday and feels very watery today. More likely a cloudy milky consistency I'd say and then it's pinkish brown with the blood. But when I check my CP there were milky cloudy bits that weren't pinky brown. OH! And I forgot to say my cervix was DEFINITELY soft and open. The softest I've felt it. So 😭🙌🏻🤞🏻

Ladies I have darkened this morning test. What do we think? x

@Katie1109 I can see it chick! Hope it means something 🤞🏻

What is it about getting ONE symptom that makes you obsess 👀
My lower back is a little achey and I just generally feel wet, so I checked my cervix again. Still bits of brownish CM and lots of clousy watery CM too - which I hope is a good thing that a) there's a shite ton of it, and b) it's not all brown!
So yeah, I need to just try ignore my body 🙃🙃🙃

Anyone have anything else going on to distract me??

@Gigi318 I firmly believe this is your month chick x I think if I was having your symptoms I would definitely be testing over the weekend!
Yeah I can see a line there too although no symptoms really. Just really bad headache today most day and few weird twinges in my boobs, but I think I’m probably just noticing my body changes more and it all means nothing x don’t even know how to feel my cervix so I won’t be attempting it lol x

@Katie1109 do you think chick, oh goodness I hope you're right babe 💖 I think because last month I had spotting (albeit dark brown from the start) on 13DPO and I thought it was IB, I don't want to get my hopes up. But it's only 9DPO so 🤞🏻
I just feel a bit AFy with the back and sort of tender boobs. Gah! Relax girl!
I do think no symptoms is a good sign. I really do. Are the boob twinges like stabbing style pains quickly then going? If so, I've had those intermittently this week. But tried to ignore them!
Hahaha, it's easy. Just have a rummage for the doughnut shaped thing at the top/back 🙊 I more just rummaged to see what was in there as it seems to take an age to come out 🙄🙊

Yeah they’re like stabbing quick pains x my nipples are itchy too which is a novelty. My OH just laughed at me because I was scratching them while eating dinner lol x i can’t feel anything doughnut shaped there, I really don’t know what I’m looking for 😂😂

@Katie1109 I can see it too. Fingers and toes crossed for you love x

@Katie1109 oh babe that's funny - what a treat we will be when PG hey. Hope he is expecting that 🙊 hehehe well it should be a round squishy thing that doesn't feel like the rest of the V!!! It's all a bit confusing. Mine is really high so you may have to dig in to find it 😂🙈

@gigi318 Unfortunately I don't think so, I was going to try before he went football but he left earlier to go to the pub and he won't be back until 10.30pm so I don't think this month's my month with just the one time.
Creamy is good babe! ❤️😍, Honestly all the symptoms sound spot on!!!

@gigi318 @Katie1109 I 100% feel that it's both of your months ❤️. I can see something faint on that test too Katie!

@Gigi318 I've got a distraction - new bathroom porn? 😂
Only problem is he's put the toilet in the wrong place 😩😩🤬🤬
It's currently sink cupboard toilet, supposed to be sink toilet cupboard

Interview went well, was the most relaxed one I've ever had, laughing and joking all the way through. He now needs to speak to my manager to sort out my notice period etc.

@Hewie30 ahhhh man. Well I hope you're still up when he is home then chick 🙌🏻 and remember, it only takes one time. Think back to your teenage self 🤣🙊 and do it in the morning as if that egg has popped right now, then a fast swimmer could still get to it in time!
Eeeeek. I hope so. I've been back and forth all day. When I wake up in the morning and it's all gone back to milky and no other colour, I'll be happy! I do hope it is babe 💖 and I want it to be your month too. We're the three musketeers, us and @Katie1109, so you need that BFP too 🥂

@claireb707 oh babe it's looking fab. Look at that rainfall shower head! How exciting! And silly man, he will have to change it tomorrow then!
Excellent news, I love meetings like that. It feels like it's meant to be 🥂

@claireb707 It looks lovely! Love your tiles! 😍. We wanted something like that in our house but they put the wrong tiles in 🤣. Oh nooo can they swap it?

@gigi318 Yeah such a shame hun, I know I'm covered but I'm just gutted as I wanted to be covered incase any of the swimmers from last night didn't make it to my egg. I think I definitely ovulated today as I got such intense pains in my left overy throughout half the day. I hinted to OH when he got home and he mentioned he wouldn't have time so I don't want to make a move again when he gets home, I'll leave the ball in his court..
Yessss we definitely are the 3 musketeers! ❤️❤️. Hopefully I can do or even close to you guys
