@Quercus3 I'm really not sure! I feel like our bodies just play tricks on us, then when af comes I'll be so confused😩 hahaha we all clutch at straws at some point! How many dpo are you??

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 18:23

@LT103 I've had spots too!! And I never get spots, very strange for me! You've been sick too!!! Sounds so positive!

samilicious · 30/07/2020 18:24

@Mococo1 thank you, and congratulations!

Definitely 3 things I can get on board with! Got the original post on last thread and another lady's post from the last one screenshottted in my phone ready 🙅‍♀️

@Vil10 oh no! Our bodies are the worst for playing tricks on us. Fingers crossed for you just in case. Been convinced 3 times since trying but luckily my progesterone has chilled out now.

Bloody love a nap though - nice to break up all the drinking and eating in lockdown 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 18:37

Aww @SmileyT our loyal bus driver! Test date 18th August I reckon. Need to start on opk's next week as cd5 today!
Welcome newbies! It's a fun ride 😁

Minster2012 · 30/07/2020 18:40

I'm here!! & I've brought my pot...

Loving your #allthegearnoidea @samilicious

Saving a spot for myself! And welcome to the new gals!

@SmileyT I am happy to take over the torch come next bus if no one else comes forward? I'll be a piddly candle light next to your blinding sunshine but I AM an accountant so maybe qualified enough to take over your spreadsheet?

Catherinettc · 30/07/2020 18:48

Marking my place ladies ❤❤ xx

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 18:48

@Juno231 I work for a company who trains up accountants! I know all about CIMA/ACCA/ICAEW and apprenticeships! Hit me up if your company need to train anyone although awks that you know all about my ttc journey and sex life 😂

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 18:53

@notyetamumbuttrying ah that's fun! I'm ACCA myself and that's 3 years of my life I won't get back 😅. I think most of our CA needs are in our South African offices so not much business I can be sending your way I'm afraid :(

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 18:53

@samilicious progesterone always catches us out doesn't it!! Hahaha that's true, ive just felt so so tired today, maybe I needed it!

SmileyT · 30/07/2020 18:54

@get657 ahh how old is your DC? Hope it happens for you soon x

@samilicious thanks 🙏 and I'm glad you've stopped lurking and you've jumped in, sorry for your loss but travelling sounds amazing, I took 18months off work after a break up but didn't leave the country just went out a LOT, went on a lot of expensive holidays and became obsessed with the gym, travelling sounds much more fulfilling x

@Vil10 you are throwing me off with your posts, you're saying you're not feeling positive but then listing loads of pg symptoms... I'm so confused 😂

@Newbie0818 next Wednesday 🤞

@Minster2012 that sperm pot 😂😂😂

@Juno231 I did you have you in mind to handover to 👀

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 19:02

@SmileyT hahaha I'm confusing myself!! One minute I'm like oh is this a symptom, then the next I'm like nope I'm never gonna be pregnant😂😂 I think it's because I can't picture myself ever getting thet BFP!

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 19:05

@SmileyT Ha in that case I do apologise for not piping up sooner and forcing you to set up bus 14! I missed the whole last page of bus 13 though as I've spent the evening drinking red wine and reading a book in the sun on my balcony - it's been lovely :) I think I also would have panicked about not having kept track of everyone's dates but would promise to do so going forward!

get657 · 30/07/2020 19:05

@SmileyT she is 2 years old. I'm having issues the last 2 months with spotting after ovulation, though so far I haven't this month. 🤞

samilicious · 30/07/2020 19:08

@Minster2012 sperm pot 😂😂 I'll add that to my gear list

@Vil10 it does but I have hope for you still 🤞🏻 And at least it shows something is going on down there

@SmileyT sounds like a great time! Breakups are the worst, but what would life be without those crazy times after to remember eh. Didn't go travelling for dead long - just 6 weeks with 2 mates, alls we could get off work. My OH is not into slumming it so not his thing, although we did live it up in £10 a night Air Bnbs so not really slumming it 😂👌🏻

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 19:14

@Vil10 they really do play tricks on us, I'm sure so many things must've happened every month before TTC that I never noticed, that now I'm paying extreme attention to 😬 I'm 9-11 dpo, not exactly sure as not tracking temps or using opks, how about you?

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 19:15

@Vil10 I'm with you on the not picturing yourself with BFP!! I'm so scared to test because I feel it can't actually be happening to me!!!

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 19:18

@samilicious true, you're right, I have my fingers crossed constantly for every girl on this group, we all deserve our bfp's!

@Quercus3 I think that too, we notice so much more because we're paying such close attention to it! I'm 8dpo, so we're similar! When is af due for you??

@Ltay2 isn't it silly we think that, like we're going to get our BFP sooner or later, we need to have more faith!!

blodyn91 · 30/07/2020 19:31

@Ltay2 are you trying for your first? what cycle are you on? I keep loosing track of everybody.
@Vil10 Im with ya. I keep telling myself no way am I preggers because getting my hopes up is frustrating!
On the bra chat front I just don't wear them, or love a lacey no wire no pad one. #freethenipples also I think im now like a AA size. 🍳🍳
@Juno231 yes you'll make a great co driver for this bus ready to take the next one on!
on the chat about apps I think its a good idea to use both FF and femometer, because they have completely different ideas, especially with a difference of two days between my ovulation days. I do like the femometr screen when you flip it and then click optimize.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 19:31

@Juno231 ah boo, never mind! Well done you with sticking with it! It looks so tough, all I have to do is know the papers and order in which to sit it 😂 and talk about our online offering etc. All very boring tbh 😂

Yay to you being next bus driver toot toot!
@mumof23188 I read from the last bus that you got pregnant on a cd10 ov day! That makes me happy as that's my usual ov day as my cycles are only 24 days. I got such a panic a few months bk as was reading so much about early ov meaning immature eggs and that's bad etc etc, so it's so reassuring to hear of women who conceived on this day! 🤗

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 19:33

Whoops, put the paragraph in the wrong place in last msg 🙈

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 19:41

@Vil10 It is so silly!!

@blodyn91 Yeah trying for our first! This is cycle 4 🤞🏼

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 19:44

@Vil10 AF due any time from the 3rd - 6th for me - I'm trying to hold out testing until the 4th but I have one FRER left so may cave and join you guys on Saturday 😬 I'm just the same though I just can't imagine a bfp! When are you due?

@Juno231 you will do an excellent job taking over from the wonderful @SmileyT!

lucyrp · 30/07/2020 19:52

@SmileyT thanks for the new bus! My testing date could be my birthday which is 17th August! My AF should be due either 18th or 20th as long as she plays ball this cycle!

@Vil10 I'm so excited for you! I really hope this is it with your random symptoms! Eeeek!

@Minster2012 you never fail to crack me up😂

Just marking my place on the new bus I couldn't find the link on the last thread and panicked because it had reached 1k comments and was like noooooo how am I gonna find these guys😭BUT I am having pizza 🍕 for tea, then sofa 🛋 sex and I have milka Oreo chocolate 🍫 for after...... so surely means I'm in for my BFP this month right ?!?!🤭

Katao · 30/07/2020 19:55

Aw thanks @Juno231 for putting your hand up, I'm sure you will mind us well 😘
Thanks @SmileyT for the new bus. You have been so good keeping all our ducks in a row! Good luck tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you 🥰
Welcome to all tbe new girls! Alway nice when people join.

Ok I can't remember who mentioned pomegranate chicken but I googled a recipe and cooked it tonight and oh my God it's gorgeous! Will definitely be making that again so thank you! See this group has so many fringe benefits!
