Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you know you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@Sydgal22 @LV1987 sorry for the late reply we’ve been with friends today. I feel a bit guilty as I had a fruit cider but it was just a small one. Hope it doesn’t affect my chances. People drink and don’t even know they’re pregnant though right? 😕

I’ve had a much better day with no work stressing me out and we got loads of new plants in the garden today which has made me feel a lot happier! Still no symptoms and no mood swing today so it’s going great so far! I think I will try and wait just because I took about 3 last cycle and became a bit obsessed. I might get a bit tempted if you guys test earlier though #cyclebuddypeerpressure 😂

@J0DI3 @LV1987 don’t worry I had two light beers yesterday after the big fight I had with OH about not drinking, both my newly preg friends drank right up until day before BFP so I wouldn’t worry!
I had a big mood swing day before yesterday but literally zero symptoms to be spotting! 9 DPO today if it’s gonna happen this is it ha!
I think I’ll test on 12DPO as well, I had an 11 day LP last cycle unusually, so similar to you @lv1987, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out, I don’t want to be cheated out of the chance to POAS 😂

We went engagement ring shopping yesterday and have planned a trip to the hunter valley wine region for our anniversary end of July. If I am preg I’ll be a nice early baby moon and if not it’ll fall in FW! Either way hopefully there’ll be a ring to distract me as well :)

Hope everyone is having nice weekends and enjoying life outside of TTC!! Xx

Oooh @Sydgal22 engagement ring shopping and weekends away 😍😍 sounds bloody amazing!

I've been so distracted over the last week with some pretty heavy stuff - we've had to go through a legal process to settle a contractual dispute with our business because some total fucktard is trying to squeeze a tonne of money out of us. We have such a good, honest, respectable business, so it's just devastating that this is happening and people with lots of money can get away with suing people who can't just keep forking out for massive lawyers bills! Even though both our lawyers and the court mediator agreed we would have a 80% chance of winning in court, we decided to pay the fucktard a settlement because we can't afford to go to court! It's SO unfair!! 😭

I also had a massive run in with a friend, who I have decided is just not a nice person a lot of the time, and I'm too old and wise now to waste time with friendships like that these days. So that's been sad.

But anyway the point of all that was, yes @Minster2012 im smack bang in FW and probably ov'ing today/morrow, but I've barely thought about it! Never ended up buying CB digi, haven't pissed on a single stick this month!! We've had sex twice and might go again tonight, but OH has no idea it's FW. If we catch this month, great, but if not I won't be too bothered!

Happy Sunday girls! X

@Skip86 I’m so sorry to hear that, that is absolutely awful and sounds incredibly unfair :( I can imagine you’ve been very distracted from ttc from that may not be a bad thing! Hope you’re taking time out for yourself and being nice to you, lots of hugs ❤️

@Sydgal22 thanks lovely. It's been a tough week but we're trying to take as many positives from it as possible so that we can move on (and so I can finally get some sleep instead of lying in bed awake for hours with my brain running a million miles an hour 😴)

Now talk to me about rings! What are you looking at? Colour? Cut? Setting?? 💍😍

@J0DI3 don't be silly it won't affect your chances at all! i found out i was pregnant witj DS a week after my birthday and i had gone out in town for my birthday i felt awful when i realised but its fine honestly i think someone said its at week 11 they start taking things from you so you're fine up until then.

@Sydgal22 omg ring shopping sounds amazing😍😍

@Skip86 i have a friend that i nearly decided that with at christmas but i chose to carry on and it hasnt been bad since but it something happens again that's it i'm cutting ties. it's very sad when you have to do that but its just not worth anyone's time or feelings! hugs to you xx

Cycle day 36 here, 20 days past supposed ovulation😴 i don't really know what i'm doing here now girls i feel a bit lost.. sorry if i'm not joining in that much but i don't know what to say! i'm not ag the start of the cycle with some of you, i'm not in FW, i'm not in TWW and i'm certainly not in BFP so what the he'll am i doing 😂

@Clairey844 thank you, it is horrendous i honestly have no idea what's happening and no one wants to help so i guess i just wait it out. i've never had irregular cycles they were always 28-30 days before DS and they went back to that after i gave birth, then i went on the injection and my regular cycles came back at christmas time and now they've just gone 🤷🏼‍♀️xx

Haha thanks @Skip86 and @lucyrp it is exciting and a nice distraction tbh! I’m quite traditional with ring I just want a solitaire diamond in a gold band, as big as I can get within our budget 😂

Hope you’re ok @lucyrp just awful what you’re going through, the not knowing Is the worst. Try just distract yourself as much as possible and stay here for the chats ❤️

@LV1987 @J0DI3 well cycle buddies I’ve got some niggling cramps today and last month AF unusually came CD24 I think which is tomorrow so I haven’t got a great feeling :( maybe my cycles are shortening which would mean only a 11 day LP is that too short? Hopefully it’s not AF but will see over the next day or!

@unluckyducky oh thank you for your message too! How have you been getting on?

@Sydgal22 an 11 day LP is fine i think it should be between 10 and 14? if it's lower than 10 you should worry but 11 is okay. i fantasise about rings all the time i really fancy an opal or sapphire ring🙈 although i literally would love anything OH chooses for me!
yeah i'm okay just going to have a relaxing day with OH watching some netflix i think and then i have work tomorrow so got a distraction for those days and then il be ag home with DS the rest of the week so should be fine. hoping for something to happen in the next 7 days in terms of AF but who knows. ❤️

@sydgal22 oooh engagement ring shopping sounds fun! 🤞🏼

@lucyrp I know some people don’t know that they’re pregnant and still fall.

I feel a bit annoyed with DH as we had friends round last night and it got onto the conversation of periods and cycles between the women. After a long conversation about it DH just blurted out in front of everyone ‘should we tell them’ and ended up saying we’re TTC. I get that he’s excited but I really didn’t want people to know and one of the friends always messages me things like ‘you preggerz yet’ etc so I just didn’t want the pressure.

@J0DI3 oh god that sounds awful that DH blurted that out! but also if your friend always messages you saying are you preggerz yet etc maybe it will take the strain off it if they know you're TTC then they might not be so insensitive asking all of the time ?? i know OH mum and grandparents are always asking me if i'm pregnant yet and i have actually contemplated telling them we are trying! just so they don't ask as much if they know we are

AF is here! CD1 for me then :) Feeling a bit defeated to be honest, can't be bothered to go through the FW and TWW rigmarole again! Feels like the last six months has just been an endless list of countdowns to either ovulation or AF 🤷‍♀️.

@lucyrp I hope that is the result of them knowing. Maybe they’d kind of guessed we were anyway but this particular friend is more of a gossip seeker and when I told her I had the coil removed said things like ‘I bet you’re pregnant in a month’. Hopefully those comments stop though. I get that DH is excited but I just feel like I’m more realistic, this is only cycle number two so we will probably have a lot more cycles ahead of us yet!

Hi ladies! Please can I join? I'm am 10DPO today but hoping to hold out testing to 19th June 🤞🏽😊

@Sydgal22 that sounds lovely!

@Skip86 god that sounds crappy! Hope it all gets sorted for you and in your favour. With you on the friend, I had to cut out one who just wouldn't grow up and was bitter after I met my dh so was starting to be mean. No time for people like that at our age! Good one you.

@lucyrp I reckon you've just ovulated. Either way it's rubbish and I'm sorry it's happened! Hugs x

@unluckyducky yay! Big congrats and glad it's all going well :) veryluckyducky methinks now!

Ahh @J0DI3 that's so awkward! I feel for you. My dh nearly did that with his best friend once and I literally looked at him with daggers and he stopped before he could give anything away 🤣 I do keep thinking should I just tell my family as they keep asking, just to let them know we're struggling, but I can't cope with the pity. I'll tell them when I've finally caught I think, and only when I'm passed 12 weeks. Then explain it took ages. Gah!

@jodi3 oh no 😬 that would have frustrated me too. But maybe those friends will now understand what you are going through a bit better?

@Sydgal22 I went for the smallest stone! 😂 Because of work I wanted to be able to wear it, if was too big I'd have to take ot off

. @Skip86 That is all very annoying and stressful, definitely take this cycle easy, and hopefully having your mind elsewhere will help

@KateColx hey lovely, CD2 for me now and tbh I've been completely distracted from the whole ttc thing as it's my 2nd cycle trying to get the hang of a menstrual cup - I've got a small size but still can't get it to open up fully with no leaks so that's my aim for the next 3 days 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying tbh I knew after the BFN, a temp drop, my CP and a slight drop in RHR that AF was coming so was happy to get onto a new cycle 👌🏾how are you feeling? You a few days in now? xx

@LV1987 bet the sunrise was worth the early morning though 🌅

@Clairey844 your plan sounds very good if OH didn't work shifts/ have a fairly low sex drive I'd definitely be more inclined to just go with the every day sex thing, plus I secretly love the data 😂

@JustMouse how is your tooth?

@Sydgal22 ring shopping is so exciting, did you find one you liked? I've sent OH about 3 I like, just need to wait for him to propose I guess 😂

@Skip86 ahh sorry you have so much going on, but taking the pressure off the ttc part is definitely the right call... so frustrating about your friend and the settlement but karma is a bitch so I'm sure they'll both get theirs at some point xx

@unluckyducky yay to another milestone, can't remember whether you said you'd be going for an early scan? xx

@J0DI3 ooh I totally understand the frustration with DH if you weren't planning to tell anyone, just remember that most of the pressure comes from ourselves, most of my friends know I'm trying to conceive and they are just excited and I think them knowing actually reduces the 'are you pregnant questions' I think that as women we almost feel ashamed if we are ttc and it doesn't happen straight away but the more we talk about the more other women will know it's okay and normal xx

@lucyrp sounds like you have a busy week ahead and loads to keep you distracted. I know a week can seem like a lifetime when ttc but once you get pregnant this couple of weeks will all be a distant memory x

@Juno231 I know it's hard but try and focus on non-ttc milestones if you can like when you are seeing friends or family or I'm focussing on bathroom planning atm. Remind yourself that you was a person with interests before ttc and you still are now. It'll be fantastic when you get that BFP but until then you still have to live your life (although lockdown doesn't help with this 😒) xx

@J0DI3 fingers crossed they don't ask as much now they know! although if they are a gossip seeker as you say then maybe not the case 🙈 i think me and OH are the other way round every time i'm late for AF i'm like oooo and OH is like no you're not pregnant 🙄

@Newbie0818 around CD30 is very late for ovulation even on a messed up cycle isn't it ? 😬

@blodyn91 @Newbie0818 @SmileyT @lucyrp thanks ladies. It’s a weird one because I don’t even really know why I didn’t want to tell people. I think I’m just a private person and just like to keep things to myself. It’s about us and not anyone else but the more I’ve thought about it the less I’m worried that they know. Thanks for the pep talk and thank god for this thread ❤️

Hope everyone is okay, I’ve been a bit rubbish at keeping on top of all the messages.

Hi all, just checking in to say hello and that I’m mostly following along with all the chat, but nothing is really happening with me at the moment- I’m on CD 9 of what is usually a long 35-37 day cycle. So FW is a way off, 2ww is a way off and testing is aaaaages away (10th July I think).
I’m drinking grapefruit juice (ass), eating seeds and taking folic acid.

Has anyone watched Selling Sunset on Netflix? It’s a cheesy reality show about ladies working at an estate agents in Hollywood, the houses are in the millions of dollars and amazing and the ladies are always bitching lol it’s my guilty pleasure at the moment.

@lucyrp nope. I've ov'd later and I know a lot of people with wacky cycles lately who haven't ov'd until cd30-40. There's a whole thing about weird lockdown cycles too. Generally the luteal phase is always constant, whereas it's the ov date that fluctuates a cycle.

@LittleRa ooh I love programs like that! Might have to give it a watch
