Wow @Ellsbells112 I'd be over the moon if I lost 10lbs. I'm following Joe wicks but I might look into keto if I don't see any progress.
@quiffy I have moments I think I'm out this is defo AF cramps then I have other moments I think maybe it's implantation . Just my brain playing tricks probs.
@Mumofboys17 it's still way early cycle buddy. You might just have a false negative 🤞
I might need to poas now too 😂

Hi @Quiffy was it you that had the good website smep link last month

@Ange211 I'm sorry!!! 🙈 I know lol but I feel in my gut it's a no this cycle, you've been doing SMEP though I reckon you're in with a good chance!! We've barely DTD December was a nightmare with DH working away and DS in hospital 😩
Got some back pain tonight so reckon AF is on the way 🙄 tbf I just want it to hurry up so I can crack on lol xx

@Mrslane2019 not sure 😅 this is the website I’ve used in the past if that helps spermmeetseggplan.com/smep-step-by-step/

@Mumofboys17 sorry for the bfn. Still early but I get it when you just "know". It is how I felt this month too.

I'm on CD4 and AF is coming to an end. Mine only ever last 4 or 5 days. I've definitely got that blind positivity back for this cycle. We all have all got this!!

@Quiffy lol on OH asking if you can DTD out of FW. I swear since TTC we have been doing it loads for 10 days around FW then nothing at all in between. Feast or famine I tell thee...

@Beau2020x the CB digital ones that do flashing/solid smilies detect a different hormone ( Rise in estrogen I believe) when the flashing starts, so you wouldn't necessarily see anything on a cheapie test as that's only looking for LH :)

OH told me the other day that he's looking forward to us going back to having "non-functional sex" haha

@Symptomspotter86 hahaha yeah we are the exact same! Like rabbits for a whole week than nothing. We hardly did it all over Christmas as we were either drunk or too lazy.

@Fredthespider yeah I'm weirdly looking forward to that too, although part of me worries what if I don't want sex again after this as right now it feels like the only reason we do it is so I can get pregnant 😂😂😂 my OH isn't really 'trying' because he wants it to just happen so hopefully he hasn't lost it

@Mumofboys17 in feeling the same, just waiting for AF to turn up. I know I'm not, I'm not even really getting many AF symptoms at the moment, which is weird for me. They will all hit tonight after we get back from our trip to the beach today. I'm on cd 31 atm, I'm usually around 29-32 days, never very consistent.

@BntTowers CD31 for me too! I don't normally go over 35 days, I've been crampy but I ache anyway as I've got a cold 🙁
Normally I get really heavy back ache just before AF starts, got my hopes up last cycle as I didn't have any cramps then AF started anyway... cramps came 24 hrs later 🙄

You're probably right, I always find if I'm more active like busy, walking lots etc it tends to bring AF on. Either that or major stress 😂
This is worse than the TWW!!! 😒 xx

@Symptomspotter86 @Beau2020x @fredthespider we’re the same all or nothing so we tend to just get in bed and conk out when it’s not FW 😹 maybe we need to book a dirty weekend away to get away from the functional

@bnttowers have fun at the beach. Hopefully the wicked witch stays away for you and @Mumofboys17

We were meant to be going out today but there’s a massive storm here so a lovely veg day. Cd8 for me so first pee in a pot of the decade 😹

A friend of mine sent me this article and said she used the supplements after 6 months of trying and conceived straight away. I know a lot of you use some these already, but I'm going to give it a go.

@Quiffy great shout!! I've planned to take my OH away to Edinburgh end of Jan for his birthday but annoyingly AF is due that very weekend.

What's everyone up to today? Currently sat on my Todd in a Pret in the middle of Manchester waiting for my fluent of 13 years English speaking OH to sit his English speaking test for his citizenship application. Yayyy. Was up so early this morning I forgot to do the CB digi so will have to do it when get back back.

@Mumofboys17 this is why I try and keep super busy around AF time. If my mind is preoccupied then she just comes and I can get it over with and start again. If I have nothing else to think about she comes late! It's like all psychological!

I think you can apply the same to the TWW - keep busy busy and hopefully this will lead to babies

@Symptomspotter86 thank you for the link, I've been taking folic acid, vitamin D and calcium anyway but not sure what strength.
If I'm hand on heart honest I don't always remember to take them everyday 😬 so probs not doing myself any favours 😂 x

@Beau2020x Oh wow that sounds major lol, lots of luck to him!! It doesn't happen often these days haha but I love being on my own in places like that, I just people watch 😂
When do you start using the CB digital? Do you start literally when AF finished? I'm going to order a 20 pack but because of my long cycles I'm worried if I do that I won't have enough to get a peak 😕 don't really want to remortgage the house for the sake of buying even more pee sticks 😂😂 x

@Beau2020x just saw your 2nd message about AF waiting, I agree.
We're quite busy today, got a tonne of housework to do (been working extra hours this week as had unpaid time off when DS was in hospital 🙁) plus DH was away so absolutely nothing has been done 😂
Also need to go food shopping and squeeze in a visit to the in laws at some point 🙄
Just wanna go back to bed 😂😂😂

@Mumofboys17 omg that made me laugh! 😂😂 remortgage the house 😂 I started evening of CD8 but only got a 10 pack because I only used 10 last time! Thank god I got the strip ones as a back up!!

Yeah I will be glad when it's done! It's a royal pain in the ass travelling with his foreign passport. For some reason they LOVE to question South American's on how they got their residency visa and why we are travelling together. Doesn't help that I'm as white as they come and he's a lovely brown colour 😂 Plus we have to renew his passport in London every 2 years! Overall not ideal being a foreigner.

@Beau2020x haha only funny coz it's true 🙈 TTC is bloody expensive!! I normally bleed for 6 days so maybe I'll start on CD10 or something. I'll have the cheap strips too just in case but it's highly unlikely on a 32 day cycle I'll ovulate right at the beginning 😬 surely??!

Omg that's insane.. what a nightmare, shouldn't be that difficult should it! Hopefully once he gets his citizenship it will all be much easier for you both! Xx

Btw.. Think we're getting close to another fill thread ladies! X

@Beau2020x lots of luck to OH! That sounds like a pain to deal with when you’re travelling etc.

@Mumofboys17 ooo yes! At least this time we’ll be prepared! Ahh the joys of in law visits too 😹

Hey girls!! Sorry just catching up now went to my friends house for dinner and a few too many drinks last night, then just finished hotnyoga! Haha balance babesssss

@Beau2020x oh that is annoying!! My close friends who I was with yesterday are Colombian but been here years, her younger brother who is 17 just come over here and had to do biometrics or something in Croydon. Good luck with it all and @Fredthespider is correct that the more expensive ones will flash if it detects estrogen which rises coming up to fertile week and then solid for estrogen and LH

Well I'm due on Monday, sure I saw slight spotting this morning but me and OH had some goooood sexy time last night 😂😂😂😂 so that's probably why it's feeling a bit burned down there lmao but there's nothing there now... I might do a test tomorrow morning what do you guys think? But I don't want to be dissapointed 🙄 might just wait and see if it comes (probably will)

Hope everyone has had a fantastic start to there weekend!

@Ellsbells112 I know we aren't trying to encourage it BUT I'm sure if you were to test with a FRER now and you were pregnant, it would be positive?

@Beau2020x probs depends how many dpo Ellsbells112 is but I'd say so 😬🤞🏻

@Ellsbells112 due on Monday aren't you? I'm keen to know the decision 🙊 whether or not that is a BFP or if you are joining us for the next cycle

@Quiffy the beach was great, very windy and cold but also good to get out and blow the cobwebs and negative thoughts away.

@Beau2020x I think a trip away, weather AF is due or not sounds fab. Edinburgh is great as well. I think go and enjoy yourself, it might even be the time AF doesn't arrive!

Still no AF here, if she is going to come, she might as well be on time...

@Ellsbells112 keep us updated! I have all my fingers crossed for you for a BFP.

I'm still on dry Jan. OH drinking beer next to me and I'm a bit jealous but just sticking to my cup of tea.
