[candycrush2298]

continuation from thread AF due 20/06 and AF due 20/07

@candycrush2298 yeah I had 5 days of flashing smileys then the static one today. I am much happier after getting that static!

@Kaybobx, TWW here we come!

@ReginaaPhalange so sorry to hear AF arrived 😞 sending positive vibes for your next cycle! X

@PinkRoseFlower go get bd'ng girl you gotta busy week ahead lol!!

This thread has moved on quickly!

@Kaybobx have you had your peak yet?
Also speaking of hot tubs I got one at the start of lockdown and I love it :) Been in it all day!

Hope everyone else is okay. We're all at different points but I don't think it matters we're bonded now. We are deffo due some BFP in this group this month.

I'm on CD 12. Got high reading on the clear blue monitor however my cheap opk isn't ready yet so I am predicting a peak Monday or Tuesday. Gonna do it every other day till my peak, then for 2-3 days in a row (sperm meets egg plan). I'm on nights for two days from tomorrow so will have to be inventive.

@snapple21 yay havent heard from you in a while.

Awww super jealous you have a hot tub today was definitely the perfect day for it hahah.

Does sound like you will need to be creative. Yay to you for following SMEP that was my plan but it fell by the way side I followed it right up until the skip one day after o and then do it one last time yeah I didnt do that one last time lol!!

No it certainly doesn't matter where we are in our cycle we are in this together now, completely agree.

Have you been temping? I imagine its difficult with working nights.

Cant wait for you to peak so exciting that you are close now.

Omg you are so right we definitely need some BFPs in here its our turn ladies 😊

Brazil nuts you literally take 2 from af to ov then can increase to 3-4 after ov
It increases progesterone production
You have to be careful and not have anymore than that they can cause problems if you have too many

Ahh no sorry af arrived @ReginaaPhalange

Ugh it’s been so hot hasn’t it! Glad I’ve not had to BD haha
I reckon I’ll ov Monday Tuesday or Wednesday x

Afternoon!

I got my peak today wooo! I'm not sure if im doing my chart right. Will attach today's, i know we will all be different but looking online at cycles my dips and rises are all in the wrong places and it doesnt seem to have gone up much higher considering my opks say peak 🤷🏼‍♀️

@snapple21 sooo excited for a hot tub. It better be a hot tub now haha.

@Boc86 I'm starting the brazil nuts today since i have them in the cupboard already 😊

@candycrush2298 let us know when you've started testing. We want to see the squinter!!

@Boc86 will have to try it next cycle if this one fails.

Its super hot even so hubby and I still BD'd last night for fun lol!! 5 days was long enough 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaybobx woohoo for your peak. Your temp has increased the higher its ever been. Mine was the same the day I got my peak I went up in temp which is why I think both apps are wrong and I am in between like you I think today might be your ovulation day and yesterday was peak. As ovulation can happen after the first positive opk not the peak. So same thing might be happening to you. But BD today definitely and you did it yesterday yeah?

Either way whatever the temps mean the most important thing about temps is that it definitely confirms you ovulated. Try and be consistent with your temps now so we can be check for any things that may point to pregnancy lol!!

And I of course tested this morning and it was negative 🤣🤣🤣 I am either 6,7 or 8dpo but think I am 6 lol. So wayyyyy to early to test was fun none the less🤣🤣🤣

my temp from today is totally one 100% wrong because I was so hot and kept waking up the whole time and woke up not long before my alarm went off so mine shot up so high today if it drops tomorrow I am going to fudge todays temp🤣🤣🤣

These are my temps see how high today is. Totally screwed it up...

@candycrush2298 oh goshhh its so hot isn't it. I had the fan on allnight so think i slept ok though.
Yeah we BD last night and i fell straight to sleep after, didn't even get up to pee 🤣 was worn out after all these early shifts.
We BD everyday this week apart from Wednesday so think we got plenty in this week. Will keep at for a few more days lol.

Im going to be like you, god knows what DPO i am!. Glad you enjoyed your POAS this morning haha.

@candycrush2298 see mine looks nothing like yours 🤔 so yours going up is a good thing though right? So now your waiting for an implementation dip? Then to go back up?

@Kaybobx yes its too hot I had the fan full blast and the windows open so wide and nothing helped. Its brutal hahaha. Hoping for a better sleep tonight as its a bit cooler today.

Oh thats good yeah you got loads of BD in lol.

My chart looks nothing like anyone else on the Internet either though whahahahah. You never know today could have been my dip but I was so hot my body went up in temp instead of down lol. But not everyone gets a dip the most important thing we want to see is the temps staying high and dropping super low. If they drop low at like 12dpo or so that means AF is coming 🤢🤮

@Kaybobx basically the only sure thing we have is that if our temps stay above the cover line until 16dpo (and no AF) then that pretty much is saying take a pregnancy test. Most women get implantation dips some women get a triphasic chart which is where they temps go up a third time and stay that high and sometime people have a chart that just has normal dips and rises and they still end up pregnant if ours is like that all we can do is wait until we see either a massive drop down below the cover line which means AF or if it stays high until at least 16dpo then its likely pg. Obviously having a dip or triphasic chart lets us know sooner but we aren't all that lucky.

Either way the dip could mean we got cold that night or slept with our mouth open or had a disrupted sleep and a triphasic pattern may happen even if not pg so only when we are super accurate at temping will we be able to tell the difference 🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 I'm still sat with the fan on its soo humid and sunny here today. This temping is hard! You literally need to have no heat, no job, never wake in the night and get up at the same time everyday haha!! At least the OPKs are consistent. I need to get some easy@home PG tests ive only got the cheap ebay ones that are super thin. I quite like these new OPKs.

@Kaybobx I know i think temping vaginally is better as outside factors don't play a role maybe from next cycle you could take your temp at 3am every night so even if you have an early shift you will be taking it at the same time. Vaginal temping isn't worried about the fan or heat or sun or rain lol. So I might do that next cycle as you can't switch mid cycle as your vag runs warmer than your mouth.

I am glad you like them I think they are great. I also have super thin one step pg tests which is what I am playing with at the moment but from next week I will use the easy@home pg tests.

These just seem clearer to read dont you think?

@Kaybobx or instead of vaginally I am still thinking of spending more money for the ava bracelet 🤣🤣🤣 I know I am terrible

@candycrush2298 oh god can you imagine. 3am, hubby says what you doing? Oh just checking the temperature of my vag, you just go back to sleep hahaha!!

Yeah those one-step tests are so tiny and flimsy! I'm suprised they actually work.
Nooo don't spend anymore money on the bracelet haha. Wait until you've been for hubbys tests etc.
Have you checked your CP again? I had a feel this morning after a shower to see if its doing what its supposed to be when getting a peak and its super super high and open.

@Kaybobx lol!!! Won't your hubby just go back to sleep? I told hubby I am going to start temping and now he just sleeps through it lol!!

I know but somehow I still haven't had an evap or indent on them wonder if it knows how to give a second line 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But, but, but, I want it hahahaha...... I love gadgets (total tech nerd 🤣🤣) arrrrrrrr you are right OK I won't spend more money. But I will just watch the auctions on ebay🤣🤣🤣

Hubbys test are taking soooo long argh! Annoying. Lol!! Each week I get so excited when I see the postie and he nevers delivers what I want hahaha.

Oooooh thats fab!!! Yeah checked mine at like 11pm last night and it was medium, low and closed so its definitely dropped and gone low again. So not checking it again lol!!! It got me excited for nothing.

@candycrush2298 haha yeah he'd go back to sleep, he literally sleeps through anything. I think he's just at the point now where he just shakes his head everything i try and just keeps saying 'do you need me today?' 🤣 who said romance is dead ay 🤣

I have all my opks in a book open in my spare room. The mother in law went in there yesterday to open the windows. I feel so embarrassed that she 100% would of seen them! She didn't say anything, we've never really told her we are struggling to conceive either. She must think im an absolute psycho lost of tests with times and dates on them 🙈

You watch auctions on ebay? 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaybobx whahahah oh my gosh thats brilliant!!! At least he has a sense of humour 🤣🤣

Oh my goodness that is really embarrassing lol think I would have died my mother in law is one of those stop trying it will happen kind of people so would be sitting me down telling me how unhealthy I am being and that hubby needs to support my behaviour 🤣🤣🤣 so be grateful she hasn't said anything to you LOL!!

Yeah if I think its going to result in a win I then bid hahah. But hate the auctions that are on for 7days so I just hit watch so it reminds me when its about to expire and then I see if its still in what I would spend or not LOL!!

@candycrush2298 i think hes just learnt to tolerate me and my behaviour over the years haha!

His mum is the same with it happens when it happens. She also said previously we should just be happy with the one we've got. ( i think its because we owe her money from the wedding) haha! But she offered to help so we went all out 🤣

I love bidding on ebay, waiting until the last 10 seconds then banging a high bid on. I always get them haha.

The ice cream van just came playing a tune outside our house so we got our daughter one and ran upstairs to BD whilst she ate it. Parents of the year award goes to us hahaha 😂

@Kaybobx whahahah I think they just get used to us and our quirks 🤣🤣 what else can they do whahahhaha.

Whahahah I am sure its not that she probably just means the "don't be obsessive at least you have one" which is really annoying because I 100% want 2 even knowing how hard trying for our first has been. So its probably just that trip unless she has been nagging for the money back 🤣🤣

Whahahaha I am the opposite I put my maximum bid that I am willing to spend and if I get outbid I move on as I know what I am prepared to spend and will keep looking at items until I find one lol!! I am cheap and want bargains whahahaah.

Omg you two are freaken hilarious to be fair though it must have been a really exciting quickie whaahahha

@candycrush2298 i have to put up with him too so its a good balance haha!! We are quite unsocialable people so have to put up with each other quite alot 😂

The mother in law has 2 other grandchildren from hubbys sister and shes so close with them. She spends alot of time and money with them and my little one never gets anything so it annoys me abit when she says i should be happy with the one i have.
We pay her back monthly for what we owe her as initially agreed but she often drops in comments when we buy something new about paying old debts first.

Noooo thats a bad tactic!! You get to the last 10 seconds then put your max bid on haha.

Omg it was so funny. She was shouting mummy, daddy where have you gone 🤣🤣🤣 we were done by the time the ice cream had gone hahaha! Literally like naughty school children.

I've just done another opk and its got lighter. I dont know if it's because ive drank alot of water today or my peak was yesterday and today now dying off. I think we've done all we could have this month anyway so not stressing too much.
Will be interested to see what my BBT has to say tomorrow.

@Kaybobx omg you two sound exactly like us we are the most unsociable people ever. Hubby has mates via his games and I am online I have friends here but it takes a lot for me to actually make plans with them 🤣🤣

I wonder why that is, I know we don't have kids yet but hubbys mom is the same she always talks about them and never asks about him or us or what we have accomplished like its always about hubbys sister. I have friends who say the same thing.
Omg that is the most annoying thing in the world when they watch what you spend your money on its like I work for it I pay for it lol!!

Whahahahah that would have really been great sex lol!! Whahaha

Remember when you get your peak on your opk you don't know if you are catching it at the tail end of your surge or the beginning. So yours was likely the end of the surge I think its likely you will ovulate today or tomorrow. Your temps should technically rise

@candycrush2298 we only have a small group of friends and are exactly the same it takes alot to get us out, but i do just love going for food then home to bed haha. I had a large group of friends when i lived back home in Birmingham but they all fizzled out when moved. I just find its so much drama having friends. I just want a happy easy life lol. How old do i sound now 🤣

To be honest my mum is alot closer to my daughter than my brothers kids. I think mums do have that better bond with the daughter than the son but my mum would never treat her grandchildren any differently.

Omg we just BD again on the sofa!! So sorry for the TMI but this is absolutely nothing like me hahaha!! Well since we first got together 5 years ago!! What a day.

Yes that's true. I'm not sure when the surge came. I hate not knowing how many DPO i am though. Tbf you have no idea too so we can go into the wait blind together lol
