Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for and haven’t added the naughty girls at the back but you know who you are 😉

Oops premute post 😂
....petite or cropped for my very short legs 😂
Need a good sports bra too and there are so many choices but in general do you prefer wired or non wired in a sports bra? I'd be inclined towards unwired but think I need wired 🤔 any thoughts welcome 😀 trying to keep the motivation going. Thighs killing me and cursing joe wicks today 😂

Got my essential TWW snack ready 😎 not quite Oreo, and in my haste at the petrol station somehow managed to pick up a less sugar version 😱 but still getting me through the afternoon!

@Juno231 oh yeah il have to cancel it if I don't ovulate but then again my CB told me I ovulated CD15 last cycle and I had a 72 day long cycle so I'm not sure how I'd know if I definitely have ovulated or not 😂 if I ovulate on the same day then it's correct but I don't know whether I'm going to do ICs or not as wanted to take the relaxed approach this cycle

@Ltay2 I bought milka oreo chocolate from b and m the other day when I went shopping with my friend for cat stuff 🙈😂

@Katao Have a look at 'Shock Absorber' (thats the brand, not description!) sports bras they're expensive and they're not wired but they're so good. I am D cup and they hold me firmly in place 😂 I managed to get one on amazon for a good price compared to other retailers.

@lucyrp oh yeah I just mean at least have the CB tell you that :) If you've had blanks until that point it might be worth delaying a bit just to see if it will be late, seeing as your cycles are far from normal atm. Just a thought.

@Katao sports bra types depend on the activities you intend on using them for. I see lots of girls at my gym with flimsy ones intended for yoga and not HIIT but they choose looks over function I think. My last one was from Lindex and I like that they label them Light/Medium/Firm support and give suggestions for type of activities they're good for: www.lindex.com/uk/lingerie/bra/sports?page=1#6761536|80

@katao I buy Shock absorber, I'm 36E/F so need actual support! Not wired but they keep them still

In other news I just had Day 1 of our Lunchtime quickie experiment! There was no pressure, just a quick bang before lunch and I much preferred it. We can add in a more romantic sesh at weekends but I found that dh suggesting it really took pressure off. Plus the fact I'm probably pre-fw still

@Juno231 yeah okay thank you! It will probably be wrong anyway as I had 4 blanks last cycle then 3 highs then my static 🙈🙈 I'm on day 2 of blanks at the moment 👀

@Katao I am no help with bra situation as Im an A/B cup and sometimes forget to wear one 🙈 But do love my adidas and underarmour ones.
For leggins I use my protein as they are not see through! But they are also long for my long legs. I have a cropped pair from M&S which I love and have had them for about 5 years now, think they were only £20.
@Juno231 my charts. Dont believe this mornings temp as I took it at 1:30am 🙈 then had the worse sleep.

@Katao I used non wired sports bras and I'm a 34/36 DD/E so 🙈🙈 I also buy most of my gum wear from gym shark

@LaceyMermaid haha yeah I bet! Amazing if you fell first go tho. So much luck to you!

@JustMouse if you can wait then all the better but if you can't, then at least try and hold for 4 hours before you do. Good luck!

@lucyrp right time to get rid of Luna, give her back 🤣
Yay to correct day for bloods! I have my blood form today so I'm booking day 21 and day 3 in for August when I can bloody get through to the hospital!

@SarahTTC2020 yay to the afternoon delight! Cd4 over here so just patiently waiting for the end of AF now so we can get bk to it!

@blodyn91 haha my word your charts are so opaque! I can see why FF and Femometer are disagreeing. I'd still side with FF though I think but it's very borderline. Glad to see there's been a temp shift at least though!

Sorry girls, been a bit quiet as I'm trying not to get too carried away now I know I'm in the tww. 5dpo and getting a good temp rise so for that I'm thankful :) I think I'll be really upset if I see another bfn this time round, feeling a bit meh.

@Juno231 I like the idea of not finding out the gender, but knowing what I'm like I'm just so impatient so don't know if I'll be strong enough to keep it a secret from myself 😂 saves people buying all pink and blue like someone else said. Good about your blood test, that will give you some answers x

@Catherinettc sorry about fibro flare :( my aunt has it too and it just sounds awful. Keep warm and rest up x

@lucyrp that's good they came back all normal, hopefully it was just a one off after cp. Animals can be so awkward when you're in the mood can't they 😂 we have to wait til pup is asleep now.

@Franklydear @Quercus3 yes to cereal, it is life 🙌🏼

@Minster2012 so glad your ivf is on the move! Even if it feels like two steps backward, will be worth it in the end. I can't help feeling like that's the route I'll end up having to take as well.

@JustMouse those sound like some really promising signs 🤞🏼

@Mococo1 aww glad everything is looking well with you x

Thanks girls, you areso helpful 😘 @Ltay2 and @SarahTTC2020 I was looking at the shock absorber ones and wondering if the were worth the investment so great to get feedback! @Juno231 thanks for the link, I'll check that out. Absolutely about function over fashion! 30gg so need these girls strapped down! @blodyn91 haven't heard of that brandso off to Google thanks. I did see that website @lucyrp but will give it a better look now.

Fyi girls as we are talking bras. Check out 'boob or bust' if you haven't already, it was one of the best things i ever did!

@notyetamumbuttrying noooo I can't do that I am now obsessed with her 😻 I wasn't so sure the first day or two whether I'd made the right choice as I've never had a pet of my own apart from a goldfish but I love her now 😂🙈 I had to speak to a receptionist yesterday and she didn't have the authority to move anyone so I could go on the correct day but the nurse had to ring me back and then I managed to book on the right day or what should be the right day so we can only hope!

@Newbie0818 I am really hoping it was a one off from the cp and praying this is a normal cycle but I also know it could very well be the same 😭 yeah she was so awkward although like I said I could have shut the door to the living room but she was so cuddled up to OH and it made my ovaries burst watching them cuddle together😭😂

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you fingers crossed for you too
@lucyrp @Newbie0818 no pets here to get in the way but 3 dc do it every time! Especially as they’re teens so never go to bed! 🙈

@lucyrp we have to put the dog out the back. Dtd once while she was in living room and it was weird. So now we just pop her out for a bit when we DTD downstairs.

No idea where I am with ovulating. Had strong opk on Sunday afternoon, small peak on the but dropped today again. Ff prediction I'd tomorrow so will watch and see what happens with rhr. Had some cm there now so that's making me think I'm only about to ovulate.
Anyway we DTD loads. Some days daily, or at least every 2nd day. Once had twice in 1 day. So either way I'm hoping things are well covered.
My grandmother was taken into hospital today so I'm glad I got to see her yest. But shes a fighter, once on fluid and that she could be back home. My aunt got home from England to see her but stayed away and didnt close to anyone. Shes getting covid test in morning just to put her mind at ease. I'd say shes mad for a hug 😭

We are heading out sunday night, really looking forward to it. Get a chocolate dessert lol if pizzas not on the menu we will be getting pizza take away some nights lol.

I'm not looking into symptoms this time. Last month my nipples went mental, I was shattered and had the odd midday snooze which I never do. And I had mad metal taste in my mouth. All symptoms looked promising until af arrived 😥

@2alreadywantanother I think symptom spotting weares off after a few cycles, this TWW is actually very easy so far.
OH is very sad today, his brother has had another DD this morning and he just said 'I should be happy but Im sad' breaks my heart!
Shows that men do have similar feelings to us during this ttc journey

@blodyn91 oh no. That's rough. 😥
That's my thing too with if we do fall pregnant. Dps niece is trying and I will really feel for her if it happens.

Oh I hope so. Last tww dragged and the symptoms were weird. Hoping that's not the case every month lol. Time will tell 🙈

@lucyrp aww 🥰 I've never had my own pet either. Hopefully one day when we move out the flat and get a house, which should be soon!
Whoop to the right day! I can't get through to the hospital still so have left my number for a call back. 🙄
Thanks @LaceyMermaid 😊
Ahh bless your OH @blodyn91 mine was similar when his best mate announced his 2nd was on the way!

@Katao gym wear I always go for under armour or gym shark! Best quality I think!

Ladies, the Pom juice (in the bottle) is it in the fridge in shops or on the shelves with other cartons of juice? Don't want to spend longer than necessary in the shop hunting it down!!

@lucyrp - I've brushed the cat off the bed a few times while dtd, only to have her jump back on and curl up at the end. We just forget she is there now, but often she'll look up once finished from her sleep and the face on her is a picture!!

Kateo - I have a pair of gym leggings from Sainsburys and a pair from Matalan. Both cropped, as i'm rather short but I have been pleased with them. Just need to find some longer ones that will fit in the leg and not bunch up at the knee or ankle. Let me know what you find.

As for testing, I'm going to be good and wait until Saturday morning. If AF doesn't turn up Friday. I did pop into Tesco earlier to see if they had a FR one but it was either clear blue or their own cheap brand. So have decided to wait.

@Ltay2 I feel it's on the shelf with other juices by like lemonade etc!

Has anyone had bloods checked before. I went for day 21 bloods which I thought was just progesterone but they’ve also checked oestrogen, LH and FSH. Is that right? Should they not be done at start of cycle?
