Lucky thread number 5.... hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you everyone for checking in... I've had two highs but not yet peaks this morning, I dipped a CB stick in the second wee and it came back as static so I think I'll do another OPK (cheapy) later today to see if that turns to peak. Pre-warned OH that he's getting jumped either way 🤣

@Mumofboys17 my last cycle was 34 days, it looks like this one will be back up to 38 as I'm now CD26 and my LP seems to have settled at 12 days. Saying that, I'm not too sure how soon after my surge I actually ovulate, so I think I'll go with CD40 as AF being due just so I don't get too excited too soon. The joys of the TWW now!

Morning ladies x how are you all? Sorry I’ve been MIA, needed to focus on some personal stuff x where are you ladies in your cycles?
I don’t really know what’s going on with me, my MC started 12th of June, so that should be counted as CD1 and I still haven’t had a period, it’s CD33 today and my cycles were always 27-29 days. No symptoms at all, not even sore boobs so I’m neither pregnant nor my af is on its way 😭

BOOM! Finally have a peak!!

@katie1109 try not to stress about it, and remember that it can take some time for things to get back to normal after a MC. I appreciate that must be far easier said than done, and I can never fully understand as I've not been there, but just keeping doing you - have some sexy time as and when you feel like it, and just wait it out xxx

Morning all! Not gonna lie I'm enjoying this relaxed approach 😂 we were eating dominos in bed at 11pm last night followed by some really hot sexy time after 😍 was like we were giddy teenagers again haha, nackered today though.. good job I'm WFH 🥴😂😂 CD15 today, Glow reckons O day in 6 days but we'll see. I have 3 OPK cheapies left in the draw and haven't got them out yet 😬

@LV1987 yay for the peak!!! 🙌🏻 I really felt for you this cycle, I've been there!! Are you officially in your TWW now? X

@Katie1109 sorry you're still in limbo darling. How are you feeling today? X

@Missgoldilocks how are you lovely?? X

@Mumofboys17 I’m ok, thank you for asking. Glad to see you are enjoying more relaxed approach, it’s great for the relationship x Some brown spotting started yesterday and today it’s getting red but still not anywhere near full flow x but it’s enough for me to count today as CD1 x we haven’t actually discussed yet whether we will continue trying, but I’m sure that conversation is coming soon x
@LV1987 fingers crossed you covered your basis 🤞🤞

@Mumofboys17 ohhhh that sounds amazing!! 🥰❤️ Keep at it and enjoying it I bet it feels 10 times better!! I'm okay just starting to get down again 😩😂 god I just want to be pregnant basically like us all and thinking of more months of it is so annoying! But anyway, no point! If it takes a while it takes a while if it takes ivf then it takes ivf either way at some point we will havy a baby and need to focus on that! Xx

@Mumofboys17 pizza in bed sounds like the one!! My OH is really funny about eating ANYTHING in bed though - not even a cuppa and biscuits!

I think I am now officially in the TWW... either 1 or 2DPO depending on how quickly my eggy burst forth after the surge. I'm going to go with 1DPO to minimise testing too early!

OH had a really shit day day of peak, so was totally not up for it, but we managed literally every day of FW before hand, so I'm hoping there's enough swimmers still hanging about. He's also been on vitamins this month, so I'm hoping their sense of direction has improved!!

@lv1987 get him to take them for 3 months and you'll see a big difference hopefully
My OH is the same he won't eat in bed I'm like whatttttt

@Missgoldilocks honestly I've really had to take a big step back because I was running myself into the ground!! I won't lie I can't say I'm not thinking about it, it's pretty much all I think about 😂 but I do take a lot more time out for myself these days when I can, started having more evening bath times, sounds so sad haha but treated myself to a few Lush bath bombs and even just a couple times a week really helps me to unwind a bit!! xx

@LV1987 haha my DH used to be the same! Then we had DS.. and tbh it's one of the few comforts we have left, to watch tv in bed all comfy with naughty snacks 😂😂
You're always still in with a chance! Only takes one, as they say! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Ooooh I love a lush bath bomb! OH does too, so one Valentines I picked one up on the way back from work, told him we were going to have a sexy bath with a lush bath bomb.... Yes!!! It turned the water BLACK it was not sexy 😂🙄

I know it only takes one, but I don't feel confident that we've done enough as every month since we started, we've failed to do ovulation day - every month I try and tick it off, and every month, something gets in the way 🤷‍♀️ oh well, not much I can do about it now apart from 🤞🤞

@LV1987 I think you should defo try bbt, do you know if you definitely ovulate the day of your peak? Basically some people ovulate the day after or 48 hours after sometimes and the only way for you to know is by checking your temperature. I know that I get a temp rise the same day of a peak opk which can happen sometimes it means that my LH surge is super quick to ovulating

@Mumofboys17 ahh that's nice! Yeah I've been trying to do things to focus on me too but yesterday was such a quiet day I think it's all I could think about. We are going for dinner tonight which will be lovely and it's my OH birthday over the weekend so that'll keep me busy just to get me to the second week of the 2ww 😂 xx

@missgoldilocks I'm still not 100% certain, as this is only the 2nd month I've managed a definite peak on an OPK. Last month, my period arrived exactly 14 days after my peak, so I think if it does this month, that'll be a pretty good indicator that I ovulate pretty quickly after my surge. Both months I've also had really obvious ovulation pains on the evening of the day that I got my peak so I am starting to see a pattern - but I will get a thermometer if we've not managed it this month I think. My only concern is that OH is already complaining that I'm getting too sciencey and I'm worried that it will piss him off if I add in temping as well 🤷‍♀️

@LV1987 just tagging you on two threads haha where are you in your cycle now?

@Mumofboys17 how are you lovey xx

Hey @missgoldilocks 😘 I'm 4 or 5DPO now, the plan is to test on Saturday morning as my OHs has a free bar on that evening so I want to know either way! Doesn't actually feel too far off at the moment, but I think the working week will drag! How about you?

@LV1987 7dpo today and usual cramps I get every month at this time is happening but this time in my left side 🙄😅 hood luck I hope you get good news x

❤️ Those memes lovely - remember that you've got this, whatever the outcome, but that doesn't mean that you're not allowed to feel shitty if it doesn't happen. Let it all out...I've had a good cry in a hot bath with a glass of wine every CD1 for the last 6 cycles. Does fucking wonders 😂

🤞🤞 For us both, and @Mumofboys17! Where are you at?

@LV1987 I know, I wish I didn't get disheartened by 8dpo with tell tale signs because at least I couid just be upset when af comes and then get excited for fertile week lol instead I'm pissed for a week before af!! Anyway, going for dinner today and lots and lots of cocktails haha xx

Hey ladies how are we all doing. Looks like everyone is in their TWW. Fingers crossed there is some more BFPs this month. I'm just entering my TWW with 1DPO today. Just don't get my hopes up these days but just try to DTD around the right time and go with it. I think after trying for so long it is hard just to switch off from it as much as I try. I know when I will be ovulating as my cycles are so regular these days too. Well keeping my fingers crossed for everyone 🤞x

@LV1987 I'm here!!! Yasss to the bath and wine, you know I love a bath bomb 😅 had such a busy day at work on Friday and the weekend's been manic, thought DS had chickenpox yesterday but think he's just been bitten by a bug 🙄😂 seriously!! X

@Missgoldilocks ooh did you go anywhere nice?! I'd kill for a cocktail right now 😫 DH is hoping to book a family holiday in September but I can't help but feel pessimistic about it, lord knows we'll be in lockdown again by then but whatever keeps him happy, hey! X

@Danni2019 you're a few days ahead of me this cycle! I haven't O'd yet but hoping it'll be very soon, I know what you mean about getting your hopes up, we'll all get there! X

I'm CD18 today, no ewcm or real signs of ovulation yet but it's still a little early for me. I did take a random OPK yesterday and was really faint. Hopefully something will happen sometime in the next 3 days 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ooooh @Mumofboys17 I had forgotten about the stash of lush bath bombs I hid from the kids!! I'm pretty sure we've got a "Big Blue" in there, that'll be just the ticket!

5 or 6DPO now...nothing to report, of course. Besides a little gas, but that's probably from yesterday's roast dinner 🙊 @Missgoldilocks you're right, I need to invest in a thermometer as that 1 day could make all the difference... But hopefully I won't need to 🤞🤞🤞

@LV1987 yesss do it!! I'm obsessed 😂
I'm with you on thermometers too. I keep saying I'll get one and don't 🙈 I will get one if we're unsuccessful again this cycle though it's literally the only thing I haven't tried! X

@Mumofboys17 blues kitchen and Brixton pop, it was really nice! Plus the not hungover woohoo! Today me and my friend have weighed in and we are gonna motivate each other to lose the weight we've gained 🙏 and hopefully it works better with someone involved lol!
Do you think in September they'll be another lockdown? I hope not! 10

Ooooh I like Blues Kitchen... I miss London! I lived and worked in the city for a few years before coming "home" and if it was cheaper to commute, I'd still be there. Might be an option again soon with the rise of home working!

@LV1987 true! Tbh I want to move out of the country but that won't happen any time soon x

Hey everyone a little update from me I had my Lap and Dye yesterday and no ENDO found and my tubes are clear my consultant said I'm a mystery to him why we are not getting pregnant. Very sore now today have 2 holes one in my bellybutton and one below it. He said after doing a lap and dye that we have a great chance of getting pregnant this month so he wants us to try and if I get my AF then to ring him and we can start the IUI process in sept cycle so basically 2 more cycles of trying naturally. Will be coming into my FE next week so hopefully will be healed in time 🤞🏼🤞🏼
