@Loll35 🤣🤣 not a valid reason to ask her to leave haha

shinylovesshoes · 21/07/2020 14:08

@LT103 my MIL has been staying the whole time I’ve been peak/high 🙄 of all the times to visit....DP wasn’t bothered though so we’ve managed 😂

Wavesandsmilesagain · 21/07/2020 15:59

Hi everyone, I guess I’m also now in TWW, final job interview today has taken my mind off things so far, and then we have a long weekend on a canal boat (Alsace) to further distract. Managed to DTD 36 times now so I will know it’s not for lack of trying if we head into cycle 7 next month!!!

Interview seemed to go very well, I do really like my current job and am very valued so I will have to think a lot if they proceed to offer and weigh up the overall package.

All the above (holiday planning and interviews) means I’ve been able to avoid obsessing over CM which has been good 😂

LT103 · 21/07/2020 16:35

@shinylovesshoes 😂😂😂😂

shinylovesshoes · 21/07/2020 16:52

@Wavesandsmilesagain 36 times?!?! Wow, we’ve managed 6 and I thought that was not bad going

Muda · 21/07/2020 16:57

@Wavesandsmilesagain good luck, when do you find out if you got the job? You’ll have to let us know what you decide to do once you hear if you’ve got it. I’ve just started a secondment and wasn’t sure what to do in terms of ttc but then thought I can’t put everything on hold. I would feel bad starting a new job then being like oh I’m going to be leaving in 8 months Or so but then the joy of conceiving would totally over rule everything!!

selina37 · 21/07/2020 17:40

@Wavesandsmilesagain I'm in awe 😂

LT103 · 21/07/2020 17:54

@Wavesandsmilesagain that just made me cross my legs 🤣🤣. You certainly can’t say you haven’t given it your best shot haha. We managed 4 in a row this cycle and thought that was good going hahaha

Hayley19835 · 21/07/2020 19:10

@Wavesandsmilesagain 36 times! Wowzers I thought our 4 times was good going with OH DD staying with us! x

3andout · 21/07/2020 19:30

@Wavesandsmilesagain bloody hell 36 times in just the fw? I feel chaffing just thinking about it.
Proper letting the side down here only DTD 3 times

kirinm · 21/07/2020 19:42

How did you manage 36 times Shock?! I'm aiming for 4 or 5 times this month and that fees like quite a lot of effort for a week!

kwastell · 21/07/2020 19:43

@Wavesandsmilesagain you deserve some sort of medal for 36 times!

Wavesandsmilesagain · 21/07/2020 19:49

I’m not tracking ovulation so figured anything between day 7 and 19 was fair game. DP has been on form and I’m still working from home so managed to sneak in some action at random times but I’m looking forward to some days off DTD now....our “personal best” was 9 times in a day but not something I could sustain 🤭

kirinm · 21/07/2020 19:50

9 times in a day! Oh my. Wow, your stamina levels are impressive!

Hayley19835 · 21/07/2020 20:27

@Wavesandsmilesagain 9 in a day! Goodness that's some DTD there 😂

Muda · 21/07/2020 20:50

We would be needing ice packs after that many times!

Loladoodle · 21/07/2020 21:12

@Wavesandsmilesagain wow! Good work! 👏 we aren’t short on the dtd ourselves but that is more than impressive! I wouldn’t be able to walk .. we did it 8 times in 24 hours once and I could barely move 😳😅 hopefully all that effort pays off for you 🤞

Homassy · 22/07/2020 07:01

Hi guys, I hope it's ok for me to gently lurk? Still have my BFP though very early days.

I won't mention it unless anything changes- still so worried about outcomes but I'd love to see you guys have some baby dust too!

36 TIMES!!! OW! I'm definitely in the relieved when FW is over camp.

@Lynnysong - any joy? You were very kind to me when I first joined. Welcome newbies

LT103 · 22/07/2020 07:27

@Homassy glad things are still going well. I do love seeing the bfps, especially in this group. Definitely reassures me that it is possible and keeps me thinking positive.

Hayleywoody82 · 22/07/2020 07:42

@Homassy we love a BFP. Im so glad its still going well. Are u having any symptoms?
Im on day 21 now and AF will come anyway now. I ovulated on day 8. So im happy I've had 11 days so far of luteal phase I was worried it was going to be shorter xx

kirinm · 22/07/2020 07:46

Morning CD11 and a peak on OPK. I'm feeling very bloated. I'm guessing I'll ovulate tomorrow. Last month we didn't DTD on ovulation day itself so going to aim for that and perhaps the following day too this month.

Hayley19835 · 22/07/2020 07:55

@Homassy so pleased to hear all is going well. Gives us all hope that BFP's do happen. Cycle day 21 here AF due in 3 days feel like she's on her way as very crampy today x

kwastell · 22/07/2020 08:24

Happy to hear it's going well @Homassy

I took a test this morning (11 dpo) and got the faintest line. Trying not to get my hopes up yet. (3 previous early miscarriages)
