@mellymoo86 😂😂😂😂 he tried bless him haha!! What a weapon to have in your house then! I have the maca powder in tablet form, it helps lol

@ciaraj01 ahh that's lovely!! I hope you can share your bfp with them ❤️ yes Sydney my sister lives there in Frenchs forest! I'm super duperrrr excited x

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 15:08

@CiaraJ01 😂😂 oh god don't get me started on what else we have in the house!! Aww that's a beautiful tree. I really want a big tree soon. Can't at the moment as there's no space, so a midget 5 foot one will do.

@Ellsbells112 Sounds exciting!! You will have a fab time. A few years back I spent Christmas in the Maldives. It was SO beautiful. We released lanterns into the sky at midday, was so magical. We will have a quite one this year. Maybe invite some friends over if they are around, we will see.

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 15:09

@nt1992 any updates on your side?

Who is testing this week? Anyone?

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 15:29

@Ellsbells112 what's your bbt showing?

Ellsbells112 · 09/12/2019 15:47

I've taken a pic but I've only just started temping. Today it was lower when I first woke up it was the same as 4dpo on the chart but I waited like a minute (I literally put it in my mouth as soon as a wake up) and after a minute it went to the one I've out into my chart, did it one more time for good measure and it was the same higher reading. (I did it because I heard if you sleep with your mouth open it might not be that accurate) I'm really crampy though quite low down

@mellymoo86 I'm testing this weekend!
Not symptom spotting just keeping my mind occupied. App says AF due Wednesday next week but that's based on the fact I was a bit late starting first AF after stopping the pill. I think 14DPO to test should be right!

nt1992 · 09/12/2019 16:00

@mellymoo86 nothing much happening this end, no symptoms or anything the CM has calmed down. I'm 8 DPO today and tempted to order FRER😭😭

How are you?

FutureMrsSmith · 09/12/2019 16:06

@nt1992 don't do it yet!!!!!
If you do it I'll want to 😂 and I'm trying to remain cool calm and collected

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 16:07

@Ellsbells112 Ah thats interesting! I'm also doing the same and tracking bbt this time. Pretty much doing the same and sticking it in my mouth as soon as I wake up. I noticed a drop today and I thought it must be my fertile period and cb confirmed it. I'll probably use this instead of wasting money on so many pregnant sticks.

@FutureMrsSmith 14dpo is definitely a good amount of days to test at, it should be very accurate. Glad you've managed to keep yourself busy.

nt1992 · 09/12/2019 16:07

@FutureMrsSmith I'm so much more laid back this time compared to last😂 like I'm not jumping at every little twinge😂 I'm soo tempted🙈🙈

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 16:08

@nt1992 wait a few more days I would say. When is AF due? If you can even make it to 10-12dpo would be idea.

nt1992 · 09/12/2019 16:17

@mellymoo86 AF is due sunday🤦🏽‍♀️

@FutureMrsSmith I have been taking cheap little strips and have very bad line eyes every times why do I do this to myself!

Ellsbells112 · 09/12/2019 16:24

@mellymoo86 yeah it is more accurate. I had a dip at 4dpo and I was like implantation?! Apparently you can get a dip from a second estrogen surge so mind out for that lol I'm thinking though travelling on the plane is going to mess up my testing temp but I'm gonna try my best and just keep doing it even on holiday 🤷‍♀️

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 16:34

@Ellsbells112 yeah try to keep up with it as much as you can, so then at least you can track and if you don't get a BFP this time you'll have a record of what your cycle was like this time. Fingers crossed you don't need to do it again though 🤞🏽

@nt1992 the cheap sticks won't pick it up this early they are only good for AF day and afterwards. FRER and CB were the tests that picked up my lines last month.

CiaraJ01 · 09/12/2019 17:16

@mellymoo86 yep we bought this beast last year, wanted a cute real one and came back with a 7 foot artificial 🙄 But I love it. Had a lovely day home alone putting it, git to the gym and now have it all warm and christmassy with a bath run and tea on for the OH... he'll be worried 😂

Meanwhile I'm admiring my new grotto with a hot choc and marshmallows 🥰

I've no idea on BBT, it kinda blows my mind so puts me off!
@nt1992 stay strong!!
Fingers crossed for you @FutureMrsSmith 🤞

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 17:22

@CiaraJ01 aww sounds cosy 😍 was about to have a bath and then thought I should probably not for the next few weeks until I know. I like really hot baths and end up looking like a prune lol. Hope you're taking it easy at the gym x

CiaraJ01 · 09/12/2019 17:55

I know and you always seemed to really want a bath during the 2ww!!
I'd leg day today, I'm not sure on what the criteria is during the wait.. but really want to avoid telling my PT until I have to.

Yep I'm feeling super loved up for some reason 😂 not like me at all. Just bought a 'romantic' hotel night in Manchester for part of his xmas present as a suprise I'll be back early from Ireland. But also ovulating around then 😂😂🙈

Blondeandbroody · 09/12/2019 18:10

@mellymoo86 @CiaraJ01 I have been wondering this, I take it you can't have hot baths whilst in the TWW as the heat can influence things negatively??

I have been toying with the idea of one for about a week now cause I love them and keep thinking best not but wasn't sure why.

I fell down the stairs last night which scared me but only on my back/bum and my right arm took a good bruising so hopefully not going to be an issue.

CiaraJ01 · 09/12/2019 18:21

@Blondeandbroody yeah apparently too much heat can negatively affect ot, as can heavy exercise.

God that sounds painful!! Glad it wasnt more serious, you were lucky! How many DPO are you?

FutureMrsSmith · 09/12/2019 18:36

I'm still continuing with exercise, apparently if you're used to doing so then it's fine to continue.
Ok so I say I'm not symptom spotting, and I wasn't... but I had a pin head amount of blood when I wiped this morning. Passed it off as nothing. But then again this afternoon a pin head of blood again 🤔
@CiaraJ01 I'm feeling the same, I couldn't wait to jump on my OH yesterday, not once, twice and it's not even the fertile week 😂

Ellsbells112 · 09/12/2019 18:40

What? I have hot baths daily sometimes twice daily 😬I heard heat helps implantation? As long as its not too hot that is 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤯

nt1992 · 09/12/2019 18:43

What is this implantation dip that everyone talks about?

CiaraJ01 · 09/12/2019 19:00

@FutureMrsSmith that's what I heard too about exercise, but then someone else mentioned during implantation time you should maybe take it easier? I'm just not sure!
I'm hoping the extra affectionateness is a symptom 😂😂 How many DPO are you sorry?

mellymoo86 · 09/12/2019 19:08

@CiaraJ01 aww that's sweet, I'm sure he will love it. And bonus that it's during ovulation to lol. Hopefully you won't have to worry about that 🤞🏽 I booked London for a few days with OH but it's not during ovulation but doesn't matter as I'll either be pregnant or not so I can drink.

@Blondeandbroody Oh no the fall sounds bad. Be careful.

@FutureMrsSmith I think you're good to carry on with your normal lifestyle. In regards to exercise, baths, alcohol etc I think they just say not to overdo it in all areas. They said that when you are ttc you should act as if you are already pregnant. And those symptoms sounds promising 🤞🏽 I was thinking back to around the time I conceived I had some crazy dreams!!! Like really weird realistic nightmares about family being murdered and so on. Never had that before. Back then I didn't think much into it but now I think it might be when I conceived.

@Ellsbells112 Baths are fine, just not very hot ones. I like them hot and I don't want to start measuring temps of my bath 😂 so I'll just not do it for a few weeks.

Ellsbells112 · 09/12/2019 19:30

@mellymoo86 I like mine pretty hot too 🤦‍♀️ oh well I know now! I'll try calm it down a bit
