Thought I'd best start a new thread. I'm. It great at keeping track of the conversation all but i don't want to loose track of you all 💕
@Franklydear @MrsEmilyB @SmileyT @Juno231 @babyg123

Hey ladies. AF due tomorrow and I normally spot the day before which would be at some point today. So just waiting and if nothing Monday I will do a test. I’m just a bit apprehensive this cycle as my last cycle was randomly 47 days! So I don’t want to get my hopes up. Hope everyone is keeping well!!

@SmileyT ah sorry you're joining us! Am glad to have a cycle buddy though 🙊.

I've just been on a run so I won't feel too guilty about my wine tonight. I think I've mentioned before that the positive thing about AF showing up is that I'll have more time to lose weight before getting pregnant. Lost 3kg since the 20th of April and can hopefully lose the same again by this time next month.

@Juno231 sorry to hear AF showed up, but wow, well done on the weight loss!

@SmileyT sorry to hear AF has arrived but your lunch sounds fabulous! Enjoy your wine 🥂

Testing in a couple of days to. I did test this afternoon and I swear was the faintest line but didnt pick up very well on photo so thinking may just be my line eyes. Going to wait a few more days now if I can control myself!

@Mrsi2020 I get vivid dreams every night, so I’d never be able to use that as a symptom spotting clue 🤣 I love it, different stories each night.

@Sausage1990 that is dark! That’s what happened to me when I thought I was due to pg test, and turns out it was a severely late ov! Are you sure you ovulated before? At least you DTD tonight. Fingers crossed it stays dark and is a bfp though!

@Juno231 whoa that's amazing, what have you been doing? I used to go to the gym 6 times a week and now I'm such a slug I'm about 5kg over where I normally am, pizza, wine and Netflix definitely don't help 😩

Thanks @MoonW x

@SmileyT sorry AF got you too 😞

@juno231 well done on the weight loss!!! 👍 I've gained 4lbs since lockdown - mostly in the last 3 weeks!

I'm 6dpo ish today I think. I am KNACKERED. Haven't even thought about babies. Fell asleep on the sofa after lunch at 1:30 and just woke up 😴😴😴 had a dream about being heavily PG and trying to find ways to bring on labour by googling. But in my dream I was ALSO really tired and couldn't open my eyes properly or go io the stairs 😂😂 ridiculous.

How is everyone?? anyone else testing today??

Ugh so my MIL (who doesn't know we're trying) just what sent me loads of pics of baby clothes and my own mum called me to ask if I'm pregnant as if I was a naughty schoolgirl 😂😂😂

Hoping that in this case mum's are right

@TheLastStark ahh they can be so insensitive sometimes! Hopefully it's intuition!!

@Newbie0818 I’m the same as you, most nights I have some sort of vivid dream

@Sausage1990 that is a very dark OPK, how are you feeling?

@MrsEmilyB aw bless you, sounds like a feet up kind of day if possible! Since starting TTC I’ve had a few dreams on being PG so obviously on the brain!

@TheLastStark Ah, well fingers crossed it’s some type of intuition they’ve got 🤞

Hey ladies just thought I'd see how you're all doing?

@newbie0818 yes I remember... This is why I'm doubting everything because really I just don't know. So I'm guna keep testing and if it drops again then I know it's late ovulation and if it doesn't and af stays away I'll test on Monday or Tuesday maybe... God this is so hard.

@MoonW well I'm feeling very crampy & bloated tbh, it feels like af is imminent and keep getting that feeling she's arrived but when I go to the loo it's just watery cm. I'm guna have to take a deep breath and just wait and see what the opk say / if af arrives or not.

And I'm logging EVERYTHING so I can keep track of it all and try to figure out WTF is going on in my body 🙈

@SmileyT I'm just using myfitnesspal to stick to the 1280 calories it tells me to eat! That gives me a 500 cal deficit per day. OH said I had no self control on the evening of the 19th so that infuriated me enough to show him, and so I started the very next day and haven't been this motivated in years! 😂

@Juno231 just updated MyFitnessPal I'm getting on it this month... my DP does most of my cooking so just need to log what he cooks and avoid all the shnacks 😂

@MrsEmilyB sounds like your body needs a rest after all the sex 😝 or maybe you've got a quick bean in there and it's already implanted 🙌🏾

@BabyDust13 how are you doing?

@SmileyT I'm good thank you how about yourself 😊

Ladies can I ask, does anyone spot before their period? I always spot the day before I come on properly and (naively) thought everyone did! After talking to friends I’ve realised that’s not the case! Just wondered if anyone else does?

@SmileyT ahh wouldn't that be lovely. Very unlikely though - I reckon my progesterone has been a bit better at being produced this month as I've had more of a sustained temp rise and it also makes you feel sleepy. Maybe I'm not used to it! FXd it is on the up. Maybe the homeopathy is working?

Hi ladies!!
AF isn't due until the 26th and this TWW is driving me insane already! Any ideas to take my mind off things! I'm struggling to even look at wedding things cause we can go view or really plan anything!!!
#LockDownSucks 😭

@unluckyducky congratulations 🥳

@Littlepeas2 I always spot 1 to 2 days before period fully comes and then spit for the last day or too aswell!

@unluckyducky congratulations! X

@MoonW I love the dreams 💫 sometimes they’re so exciting I don’t want to wake up and get grumpy when I can’t fall back into it 🤣

@Sausage1990 I know the waiting is torture :( keep testing like you said, and let’s hope it’s your bfp x

@SmileyT sorry about af 💜

@Juno231 nice one! I gave up with my fitness pal as I was getting too obsessed haha.

@MrsEmilyB let’s hope that dream is a sign! I get really upset if I have a dream when I’m pregnant as I wake up and the belly is gone :(

@TheLastStark ugh so annoying. But yes, let’s hope mothers are right there!

@BabyDust13 feeling a lot more positive, repeating my new mantra of “my baby is on its way to me” and looking forward to af ending so me and dh can start DTD every other day! How are you?

@Littlepeas2 I never used to, but since coming off the pill I do! And after this last month it seems it can be on and off for a few days before full af.

@Nicolet91 anything artsy that takes your full concentration. That’s what really helped me. I’m going to buy myself a macrame wall hanging set to keep myself busy this time round.

@unluckyducky amazing! Congratulation 🎉🎉

Does anyone know if it’s possible to ovulate during your period? My cervix is still super high and soft like when I get a positive opk. Wandering if it’s just a weird anomaly?

Hi! New to MN, marking my place in here to try and follow with some of you!

Second cycle of trying, got my flashing smiley yesterday and today so should be ovulating v soon. If my cycle length is the same as last month I should be testing at the end of the month/start of June however before that I had 38/39 day cycles so I don’t even know anymore 😂

Good luck to you all on the TWW 💃

@Nicolet91 - try ingefleur's video on YouTube called "surviving and thriving in the 2 week wait" and she's also got some other videos about things you can do to support implantation. Also this blog post has good ideas too: www.tomakeamommy.com/tips-for-the-luteal-period-how-i-boosted-chances-of-implantation-and-pregnancy/

Keep busy! If you've got that anxious energy, channel it into something - go for a walk, peruse wedding dress sites, make Pinterest boards of all the bouquets, decor ideas, colour schemes, cake designs etc you like for your wedding! Pinterest is always a great distraction for me - I can always lose myself down that rabbit hole! Also getting immersed in a new book or TV series is good. Fertility yoga too

@Newbie0818 ahh I know! I've had a few in the last couple of cycles so it's definitely on the brain!
