@Loladoodle Of course I will test as soon as i can! Not waiting for af 🤪 I am totally new to this, and I've spent last 3 days symptoms checking, but I've realised there is no such a thing. Hard to resist and not to read all that. My chances are slim, we are quite casual at this stage, and I haven't even managed to give up all my caffeine yet- which seems to be crucial! I will be better prepared for the next cycle. hahaha, so much advice everywhere! This thread is the best thing I have found so far, full of humour and realistic expectations. So I just stick around here from now on. Lets hope we both have bfp soon 😉

Honestly this thread makes me feel better. Google can be so spiteful against our paranoia and actually talking to real life women in the same situation and hearing your positive stories is so uplifting. Welcome to the newbies!

It’s crazy aswell how relatable your stories are particularly about the men in our lives trying to be the other 50 percent. I thought it was just me having issues!

lastditchattempt20 · 23/06/2020 11:38

Morning all and welcome to new additions! 6DPO ish here and symptom spotting like mad. Admit I actually POAS (FRER) but quite obviously a BFN at this stage 🙈 Might have a go at the weekend.

Muda · 23/06/2020 11:41

I have totally gone crazy and symptom checking my bogeys 😂😂

Also anyone that has had an early miscarriage how quickly did your normal cycle resume?

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 11:44

@lastditchattempt20 love it! Totally living my poas dream through you as I’m only 2dpo 🙃 I had a very small brown spot cm this morning barely visible not sure what that’s about maybe from ovulation 🤷‍♀️ Let’s pretend it’s from something really positive going on in there 😅

@YellaHella yes this is the best and funniest thread on mn.... maybe a tad bias about that 👸

@Muda me too! 🙈

Sleeeeeepy · 23/06/2020 13:14

@lastditchattempt20 Yay for a POAS fun!

I'm CD5 and period has finished so considering starting opks due to my obsession. I'm reaaally hoping to ovulate this month. Just found out my mate is 12 weeks pregnant, she caught naturally after having her son with IVF, so excited for her and actually not feeling jealous because she's just so blooming lovely and she wanted it so much.

JustOneMore39 · 23/06/2020 13:21

Hello my lovely Golden Ovaries,

Apologies for the radio silence lately. My AF this month was horrendous, and really knocked me for six, and I wanted to have some time off the obsession with the TTC, TWW etc. but I have been catching up. Exciting that some of you are getting so far along the DPO time now. come on BFPs. To those who have got BFNs - and AFs. shake it off. give a pep talk to blanch, rose, Dorothy and Sophia, and lets go again!

CD7 for me, and going to try the SMEP, so just limbering up my old bones to start DTD every other day for the next 2 weeks as of tomorrow.. I have my OPKs ready to go.

Muda · 23/06/2020 14:34

@Loladoodle did you not get a period for a couple of months or was it just not your normal period?

@lastditchattempt20 glad I’m not the only one!!

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 15:21

@muda no period was still testing positive on pregnancy test for about 4-5 weeks after d&c 😫 Was so frustrating. Took ages for hormone levels to drop again. But bfp not too long after that. Must have reset something!

Hello lovely ladies, welcome to all the new ladies. 😄

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 16:02

Hello @Happy how are you?

Happyhappy37 · 23/06/2020 16:27

@Loladoodle I am fine thanks. Took my lil one to the park earlier. He's fast asleep now and am chilling on the sofa.
How are you doing? 🙂

Matilda19 · 23/06/2020 16:42

Hi all struggling this month 12dpo and bfn im gutted xx

lucieloos · 23/06/2020 17:15

@Matilda19 really sorry to hear that. Definitely not for the lack of trying!

So after my wobble last night we did manage to dtd one more time. So if i ov'd today which is cd14 we dtd cd9,10,12,13 and I'm not even going to mention tonight. That's completely up to him if he wants to bring it up and do it. I think we've covered enough though. Never been so glad to enter the 2ww. Not sure how sustainable it will be to do this every month.

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 17:31

👏 @lucieloos good work!! 👍 welcome to the 2ww 🤪

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 17:32

Loladoodle · 23/06/2020 17:33

@Happyhappy37 ah that’s nice. I’ve been working most of the day. Going to get more done tomorrow including housework so that I can chill Thursday as the weathers to be nice then 🌞

Happyhappy37 · 23/06/2020 17:44

@Matilda19 sorry about your BFN, however you are not out until AF shows. Not everyone gets BFP before AF. 🤞🏾🤞🏾
I am also 13dpo today too.

Sending you all lots of positive energy 🙏🏽

Happyhappy37 · 23/06/2020 17:52

@lucieloos nice one 👌🏾. You did your very best. 🤞🏾 Crossed for you.

Joke of the day for you all

Soooo last night me and Mr was DTD and Mr decided to change position, in the process he fucking knocked himself out. Man he banged his head in the wall (really hard too) girls instead of me checking if he was ok , I checked if his dick was still hard, fucking hell it wasn't 😂😂😂
Mate I know it ain't funny but shitttt his dick is very important to me. 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
He was not laughing, man was pissed off.
Hahaha 🙈😂🙈
I will go and hang my head in shame now. I'm a horrible girlfriend

LT103 · 23/06/2020 18:19

Spent Most of today dealing with a leak in bedroom ceiling and a sick dog 🤦🏻‍♀️. CD11 and still nothing on opk sticks but cm increasing so 🤞 getting nearer

LT103 · 23/06/2020 18:20
