@Raizelrea Morning chick! I am well, thank you! CD9 now finally! Hurrah. Getting closer and CM starting to amp up again. Hurrah!

@Katie1109 that's amazing, I'm glad for you as hopefully something will have caught! Yes getting excited now. Just trying to DTD as much as we can (without scaring off OH 🤣) so we shall see! CM is getting watery today, so that's definitely a positive sign. Just going to try and cover my bases even if EW arrives later than expected!! Exciting. The TWW begins!!! Now to distract you until then. Will you test on 15th then do you think? X

@Raizelrea thank you hun. The TWW is underway now, so I'm sure I'll be symptom spotting soon enough lol especially towards the end of next week when implantation may happen.
@Gigi318 I'd like to say I will wait till the 15th but we both know that is not going to happen chick lol x I can almost guarantee you I'll be testing at least the 13th x

@Katie1109 hehehe hopefully you can hold out as long as pos! So are you 1dpo now?? Exciting!!!! Eeeek I sort of what to be there as then it gets closer 🙊🙊🙊

@Gigi318 yeah right...you and I both know that's not going to happen girl! Yes' I'm either 1 or 2 DPO today x unless I haven't ovulated yet because my CM is watery and milky now instead of creamy as yesterday and day before lol x

I have just read this : The discharge may start out thinner in the days leading up to ovulation, or when an egg is released.During ovulation, the discharge or mucus may become very thick, and mucus-like.

So if that's the case I must have ovulated, because I had watery thin CM over the weekend and then in turned creamy. Exactly the opposite to what I always thought? Lol x

I'm still in as still no sign of period. Cd27, 17dpo.

Ive heard of short luteal phase being an issue but I'm guessing long ain't great either 🤨

@Raizelrea that's really helpful to know and so true when you think about it. So no point symptom spotting at all until at least 10DPO!

I am about 4/5DPO and AF due 12th October so just a little ahead of you @Katie1109

I just want time to hurry up now 🤣

I was looking at the new next catalogue last night at all the cute baby clothes!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for us all

Morning everyone! How are you lovely ladies? It's lovely to see most of you are in your 2ww now 😍. You all hopeful for holding on or think you'll test early?? That's great to hear your body is gearing up for o @gigi318, get dtd! Your windows coming up 😁😁😁. Sorry to hear you got a negative @clare707 it's gutting isn't it! Has AF arrived? Because if it hasn't your still in! Some ladies don't get positives for a while after AF was due!

I'm good! My UTI unfortunately got worse so I'm on antibiotics at the moment, I've told the doctor I'm TTC so he's given me ones that'll be safe just incase. I'm still spotting but AF has been a real weird one! I've only had one morning when I messaged you where it was medium flow the rest of the day and days it's been very light 🤷, I think the uti potentially has messed it up 😂. Ah well! CD4 today 😁

@Raizelrea hehe aww yeah I did 😆☺️ telling parents tonight! 😬 got my hair appointment now too, just got sat in the chair 🤪

@Gigi318 Your CD are almost lined up with my DPO 😃 So you better be DTD when I'm testing 😆😆 Hope you're starting to feel that energy boost from all the lovely estrogen you're getting! I always feel like I can do anything at the second week of my cycle ☺️

@Katie1109 Hope your TWW doesn't drag too much! Good luck!

@claireb707 I don't know, at the very least the potential embryo has more time to implant with a longer luteal phase rather than getting "washed out" prematurely. I don't think a slightly longer one can hurt. I think the early ovulation may be more problematic since you the eggs have less time to ripen so to speak. So if you always ovulate early it may be something to look into?

@Makeafamily19 Yeah I thought it made a lot of sense! One third through the TWW for you then, yay! I'm on the final stretch at 10 DPO now, bring on the weekend! Love baby clothes, too cute. I've been looking at baby cribs and buggies online, far too ahead of myself 😆

@Hewie30 Sorry to hear your UTI isn't better, they're the worst. Hope your antibiotics help. As a frequent sufferer I know they like to linger, I'd recommend taking probiotics as they can make the world of a difference! Also try to stay away from DTD till you're fully recovered - in my experience you tend to ovulate a bit later on cycles where you have a UTI as the body's too busy fighting the infection anyway!

@flossy12 Amazing, they'll be overjoyed! How are you telling them? My parents have been having a bit of a tough time with my grandparents' health lately so I really hope I'll be able to give them some good news soon too.

@Katie1109 hehehehe no I'm sure you have. How exciting. AF would be earlier too then. Yay. Now the wait commences!! No that's definitely right, watery before then creamy after. I think it can be more like chalky right after AF if you get it? But that sounds about right to me. It's what mine does 🙊🙈

@claireb707 hehehehe I think it's all good if you get that BFP! Eeeek so exciting!!!

@Makeafamily19 eeeek so exciting. Are you keeping your cool at the moment? At least we will all try not to symptom spot until 10dpo now. Which will definitely help!!!

@Hewie30 hey chick, glad you're back!!! I know, I'm excited - I feel like I can be proactive now. Hurrah! Although it's still a bit of a waiting game isn't it. It's so odd that lots of us has had bizarre AF's this month - particularly you, me, and Katie. Mine was suuuper short and light with spotting before and after. So odd! Yay for CD4, slowly getting there. Hope the UTI starts to get better and that you're enjoying some down time while the odd AF is here!!

@flossy12 amazing - new hair for Mama and telling Granny & Grandad!!!! Exciting stuff.

@Raizelrea I was very energetic on Monday and today I felt it in the morning, but now exhausted from a workout class, cleaning, and preparing a lasagne for dinner. All while trying to squeeze bits of work in between. I need to slow down I think. But that's never been a strong point for me 😂🙈 hehehe will you be testing Mon?? As I think that'll be THE day for me. But only the CM will tell hehehe. And don't you worry, I've been looking at prams too. Soooo cute!!!

@Gigi318 Make sure you save some energy for DTD 😆 I think I'll test at the weekend - though honestly I kind of want to teat tomorrow already 😇 Would 11 DPO be acceptable to test?

Holiday bound! 😬😆 hair looks lush!

We had a massive Chinese then I took little man in the kitchen and put his 'Promoted to big brother May 2020' t-shirt on and got the scan picture out and told him to go show them

Was lovely ☺️😆 they couldn't believe it, lots of hugs and tears all round 🤣 they're very excited! We face timed my sister as she wanted to see their reactions and she cried again 😅 💞 🥜

Morning ladies, how are you all?

@Raizelrea hehehe don't worry, I have! I'm CD10 now so getting excited!!! Need to make the most of the time now before OH is away next week (away CD14-17 argh, but we will still catch 14&17 so technically only missing 15&16!).
Hehehehe yes 11DPO is super early. I'd say hold off until at least 12DPO is you really HAVE to test early 🙊🙈

@flossy12 oh babeeeee, this sounds gorgeous!!!! What a fab idea! So pleased for you. Would it be acceptable for me to steal this idea but with my puppy?? Not weird at all right??? Hehehehe. When do you leave? Is it today? Eeeek I hope you have the best time. We will miss you!!!!

@Gigi318 omg totally!! 😍😍😆 was going to get our pup a Big sister top too but OH said that DSSs was enough 😂👏🏼 aww going to miss you girls too! 💞

@flossy12 Aww that is an adorable way to tell them, amazing! Have a fabulous time on your holiday!

@Gigi318 Managed to resist for now, I woke up really early and me and OH agreed to test together this month so I didn't test. Definitely not waiting longer than Saturday haha. Last cycle I started spotting around 11 DPO so we shall see... Ah that is unfortunate timing for him being away, but you're right you're only missing two days! Hopefully you ovulate on CD15 with the run up to it covered 😊

@flossy12 hehehehe yay, totally going to do that when we catch then 🙊🥰 we hope you have an amazing time. Some much needed relaxation for you and peanut!!!

@Raizelrea eeeek yay, that's good. I also woke up really early too this morning (4.30am 🙄) after a crazily dream!!! Yayy. Maybe tomorrow?? This is so exciting. I love testing time (as long as its not too early). Exactly, I am not so worried as I think we will cover the run up for definite and if I happen to spot any EWs when he is gone then we can quickly DTD when he is back, just in case! Such an exciting time!

@Gigi318 Yeah I think may do tomorrow, original plan was friday but unsure if my impatience will get the best of me haha. I'm kind of expecting it to be negative though as I'm not really having symptoms other than brief waves of nausea and on and off pain in boobs.

Eciting indeed - I'm sure your OH would agree haha! Almost the weekend! Have you noticed any changes in your CM so far? (Sorry weird question to ask I know haha)

Morning ladies! How are we?
@flossy12 this must have been fantastic to see your parents so happy and I love the way you announced it!
@Gigi318 you're almost there chick, FW soon for you. I'm sure you'll be ok missing 15/16, hopefully you'll catch on before of after x
@Raizelrea exciting couple of days for you, I hope you'll get your BFP. Stay positive x
I'm ok this morning, I had a ridiculously vivid dream which included us having beautiful baby girl, she was absolutely stunning x I have never had a dream that felt so real! I'm feeling ok, 2/3 DPO today and a lot of creamy CM, sorry TMI x

@Raizelrea eeeek that's good. All you have to do is wait for FMU and you're good. Woohoo! You've got this. Less than one day to go!!! So far, it's got a lot more watery and don't worry, not weird at all. Not to me anyway 🤣 so we're looking good, could just do with some EWs now and woohoo! How are you??

@Katie1109 thanks chick, everything is looking good. Yes, hoping I may spot some EWs like Sunday or something - that would be handy. Not sure which day will be peak, so will shall see. But I also don't really want to overthink it! So just plan to keep DTD and enjoy the next few days. And if I spot some EW at any point, then I'm in luck. Hurrah! How are you today chick?

@Gigi318 I'm ok thanks girl. Early stages of TWW so no symptoms spotting yet apart from lots of creamy CM x when I conceived and had an mc my boobs were sore from CD 20, so that's something to look out for around Monday. Normally they only get sore 3-4 days before af arrives x I'm not too hopeful this time around because I don't recall seeing any EWCM x

@Raizelrea Oh really! Hopefully that doesn't mean another long cycle 😂. I've stopped the pregnacare so should be interesting to see if that's shortened my cycle at all this month. Do you? That must be horrible!! You must get fed up of it? My sister used to suffer with cysitits alot and hated it. How are you? Where are you in your cycle now?

@gigi318 Thanks hun 😊❤️, I'm attempting the laid back approach and just been really knocked with this UTI, work are sending me home today so I'm just going to rest up! We have haven't we! Isn't it weird, it's like it knows we're talking about it 😂. Haha yay!! Yeah I'm just taking it easy and chilling at the moment. How are you? Any updates for moi!

@flossy12 how are you hun? You getting on okay with little peanut?

@Katie1109 that's good, so you're not driving yourself too crazy yet. That's definitely handy to know, so you can see if you've maybe caught again. Hurrah. Yes mine are usually tender before AF. So if I get that post O then I shall be pleased hehehe! That's true, but you may have missed it or there may not have been much. It's a waiting game!

@Hewie30 hello, hello! Oh chick, that's not good. Make sure you rest and drink lottssss of water. At least double what you normally would to help flush it out!! That's fantastic. Well, today, I am a woman defeated. Exhausted from that workout class yesterday plus too much wine and not enough sleep. I can barely focus today. Roll on bedtime, I say! No updates as of yet, I don't think. The watery CM is here and hopefully I shall spot some EW soon! Enjoying DTD, which is nice. Although I don't think I have the energy for it at all today 🙊 how is AF today?

@Katie1109 Thank you! I'll keep you all posted of course ☺️ I hope you do get the little girl from your dream! The beginning of the TWW can seem like it will take forever I know, but it will be here before you know it! Are you testing next weekend?

@Gigi318 Thanks lovely! Ah watery is good, I sometimes struggle to tell EWCM and sticky CM apart but I know watery always means things are on the right track! I'm good, just really impatient now haha!

@Hewie30 Yeah I hate UTIs but not much I can do - I even had an ultrasound of my bladder done once to see if anything could be making them more frequent but didn't amount much. Just one of those things. Hope your clears up soon!

I'm CD 11 so will be testing imminently, I don't have your patience so most likely will be tomorrow morning, Saturday at latest.

@Raizelrea exactly chick, I'm excited now. I'm hoping that I'll start to spot the stickiness soon. Definitely think that it'll get sticky if not EWy soon. I do usually get very obvious EWs. So we shall see. I am excited for you for the morning. I wish I was at this stage 🙊
