Apologies if I missed anyone!! ❤️❤️

Morning I'm 10 days post ovulation today and my initial feeling of tiredness and being a little moody has gone and AF cramps have set in so pretty sure I'm now out. AF due on Monday and usually get cramps about now so I guess onto next cycle in the hope I can DTD a little more x

Morning @katie1109! I'm CD38 today, but based on my cycle length last month, I'm still 2 weeks away from ovulation... So I'm also feeling impatient!

I'm giving clearblue OPKs a bash this month, I wasn't sure when to start them as my cycle is getting slightly shorter each month, so I've gone with their suggested dates for a 32 day cycle which means I get to pee on my first stick on Sunday!

CD8, not 38! Jeez even for me, that would be a mega cycle!!

Morning!
@LV1987 hahaha was gonna say!! 😳😂
@Katie1109 OPK definitely darker this morning and femometer reads it as a peak. Put it into glow as well and it's moved my O day to tomorrow. We DTD last night but going to aim for the next 3 days as well 😬
Pic of today's test attached x

@Katie1109 also meant to ask - you're taking the pregnacare vitamins aren't you? Have you noticed any changes? For instance my nips are SO sensitive now and I've had heartburn almost every day 😩
Plus O day is a lot earlier than normal this cycle 😂 I didn't get a peak til CD26 last time! (CD20 today) Xx

@Mumofboys17 that looks like a peak to me so busy time DTD for you xx my O day before pregnacare was around CD15-16 now for the last 2 cycles I had peak on CD13 so ovulation on CD14 so I guess it moved it slightly x but I haven’t got any other side effects x do you take them straight after a meal? I know it says take with food, but I don’t for that exact reason, even taking normal multivitamin with food caused me to have heartburn x

@Katie1109 ohh! Maybe that's why then! 😂 yeah I take it after my dinner every evening as I know I have a full stomach then. Breakfast and lunch tend to be smaller and a bit hit and miss with DS around haha!
Just hope DH is up for lots of sexy time.. he was nackered last night bless him I literally woke him up to get the job done 😬😂😂 xx

@Mumofboys17 maybe try to take it couple of hours after a meal? x it may be completely unrelated though, but you never know x

@katie1109 @Mumofboys17 hey girls! That's a lovely dark opk there 😍
I'm cd11 today and will start dtd soon... Absolutely cannot be assed 😩 🧘‍♀️ jheez haha! Can I ask you girls a question, do you Check your cervix around ovulation time? When does it tend to go up? Do you get a peak or positive opk then your cervix rises or does it rise before the peak or high opk?? I think my cervix actually only goes up on cd15 so I'm thinking am I dtd too early by doing it cd14 and cd15? Should I aim to dtd once my cervix is actually high??

How is everyone else too?

I'm rubbish at cervixes, I can literally only ever feel mine just before I'm due on! The rest of the time, it is completely out of reach 🤦‍♀️

@Missgoldilocks I'll be honest after having a few random pokes up there I still don't have a clue what I'm really feeling for 😂 this is why we went back to SMEP this cycle it makes me feel better like we've covered all bases, so doesn't matter too much when O day arrives as we're frequently DTD already.
Because I got that peak this morning I just keep thinking I'm going to miss it if we wait til bedtime tonight 🤦🏼‍♀️ we DTD last night anyway so that's probably OK but, yeah, arrrghh! Xx

@Mumofboys17 omg aren't we something!! Hahaha sitting there analysing hour windows lol! It's so hard not to! Last month I begged my OH to do it with me in the morning 🤣 because I swore it was needed to be done rather than the evening. Unfortunately didn't work though 😩🧘‍♀️ xx

@lv1987 ahh yes I get you! It's really low when af comes but around ovulation so high and soft

@Missgoldilocks mate I'm going full blown crazy again. Today's OPK definitely lighter. We DTD last night but now panicking because the test is lighter 😬😳😭😩 all my apps reckon today is O day so the tests get lighter now anyway don't they?
Fml how long have we been doing this now?! You'd think I'd get my head around it by now 😂😂 send help. And gin. 🙃

@Mumofboys17 yeah it'll get lighter you'll probably ovulate today! I know 😩 actually me and OH had a bit of an argument last night about it all. He really wants a break it's all a bit too much. So I promised to not talk about it at all while we are trying.. . Guess I'm gonna have to properly rant my crazy on here instead!! Lucky I have you ladies lol we was supposed to dtd last night but we didn't and tbh I don't have the energy to care. Its literally ruining our sex life and our relationship is strained I don't really know how to go about things now. I'm just going to try and stay positive, not tell him anything and not be adamant about sex times, just going to have sex around the right time and leave it at that I think! I mean yeah we've been trying for a while so bloody heck might as well try to calm down 😩🤣 hopefully I'll do it OK! Xx

@Missgoldilocks yeah my DH has been a bit off too lately. He was stressing last night and nearly struggled to finish. He says it annoys him how I'm up for having loads of sex when - and i quote! - I (as in ME!!) want to get pregnant 🤬 but don't want to as much when I'm symptom spotting and waiting to test!! I was like do you not want a baby then?! Yeah. Shush. 😐😂 ffs.
Guess I'll just have to make more of an effort after FW as well then 🙄😂 it's such a nightmare isn't it!! I'm trying to keep the crazy for here too as DH gets all wound up when I keep going on about it xx

Is it possible to feel 'out' before the TWW has even started....? 🙃😩😂😂😂 X

It's tough isn't it. My OH is not at that stage yet, but I don't think it will take long for him to get there. We just all have to try not to lose sight of why we are trying to make babies - we love our men, and want babies with THEM! And if it doesn't work out, we'll still love them x x

CD9 for me today, and my RHR is on it's way up already, a good week or so earlier than last cycle. However, it could be due to all the lock down drinking 🤦‍♀️ Not sure whether to just jump on the OPKs tomorrow, just in case I am gearing up to ovulate "on time". Thoughts?

Morning ladies x how is everyone doing? @Mumofboys17 how is DTD going? Still at it? 💪 I must admit this TWW is awful, I’m normally quite chilled for the first week, but today 4DPO I’m going mental and of course no symptoms whatsoever 😂😂

@LV1987 personally I think OPK's are a good idea, if I'd winged it I'd have missed my ovulation completely as my window always seems so small. But - you do you! If you want to, go for it! X

@Katie1109 yeah still at it!! 😂 2 more days of DTD before giving it up to fate. Counting today as O day so will aim to DTD today, tomorrow, one rest day then once more 🥵phew!!! How did you get on with the preseed? I only use up to number 2 on the applicator as helps with the infamous fanny burn when DTD every day 😂 any more than that it literally turns into a slip and slide haha! Xx

@LV1987 @Mumofboys17 yeah it's pretty shit. I'm going to really really try and relax. Today is cd12 and I think I'll not dtd today or even tomorrow I might just do it cd14 through to cd16 and hope for the best! I'll start opks tomorrow just to see when I get my peak but I'm really going to try and not go crazy our relationship is more important and right now it seems like this could end us 😩 it's shit because he said he never thought it would be like this and I'm like we'll me neither lol I think it's pretty shitty of him to basically say he's tired of hearing me be upset every month like okay fucking hell thanks mate 🙄😬

@katie1109 hey girl how are you? Do you feel positive about this cycle? X

@Missgoldilocks my DH was the same about me being upset! He just says it doesn't matter and we can keep trying but I hate feeling like a failure every month 🙁
I'm also not allowed to have hamsters as pets anymore as I always cry when they die and it drives him up the wall 😂😂

@Mumofboys17 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well on second thoughts I've just seen cervical mucus so fuck it all we are definitely dtd tonight 🤣🤣🤣🤣 men are from a different planet

@Missgoldilocks yaaaasss girl, go get some!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 😂

@Mumofboys17 🤣🤣❤️

@Beau20 hope you're doing okay chick xx

Just checking in with you girls seeing how you are all doing!!

@Mumofboys17 I would say ovulation day today or tomorrow for you! The tests always start to go lighter again, keep testing until completely negative 🤞🏼🤞🏼 as for the sex, those where the EXACT words my OH used and I was like shittttt am I really subconsciously trying harder?! Apparently I only want sex to have a baby 🤨🤨 so now I am being a childish bitch and not even touching him just to prove a point. We are now on about 13 days no sex. I will prove that fucker wrong. So much so we totally missed what I presume was FW. No idea where I am. Had ewcm for like 6 days and Dtd day 1 of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Missgoldilocks I know exactly how you feel. And this is exactly what I am trying as much as I can to forget about babies for the time being

@Beau20 yeah I thought as much that's why I messaged just prior to you asking if you're okay! It's madness really, it's hard enough as it is you don't need to be at logger heads with your partner too! 😬 Xx
