@LaceyMermaid the only thing I'd be losing is if it says I haven't ovulated but then I might not actually have ovulated anyway so 😂

@lucyrp exactly get them done! You know you might not have so if it says that then fine, but if it says you have then yay! Win win 🤣

@KateColx I'll always be here I think lol! Hope the relaxed approach works for you! I'm ov'ing today so need to jump hubs when we finish work. Currently sporting a short skirt to try and keep his attention lol! We did it last night and night before so he'll need coaxing for another go today 😂 hate ttc! The effort we go to just to get constant shags 😝
@glowingtwig congrats 🥳 and fingers firmly crossed!! 🤞🏾
@2020mission congrats 🥳 2020 mission accomplished I'd say! It'll get darker in two days with a bit of luck! And whoop to the Oreo, I'm popping out on lunch for a pineapple and will pick up choc too!
@Newbie0818 enjoy your break, I might have to do that if aug is unsuccessful too as then I'll be heading into month 12 😖

Take care @Newbie0818
@2020mission dont be pessimistic or apologetic, this is your good news, we are all delighted for you. Enjoy !
@lucyrp I'd say ho ahead and get them done. Sureyou can always get them done again next month and it might save you some stress waiting.

@Juno231 sorry I've only just seen your BFN, all the hugs and gin your way, I'm with you all the way!

@lucyrp I'd def get your bloods done in this cycle, that's what they said right? They could do bloods this time after AF? So yeah def

@2020mission congratulations!!! 💕🥰that's brilliant! Don't feel guilty, that's what we are all here for

@Newbie0818 I was the same, needed a bit of time, take care & don't stress, have a great anniversary xx

@Juno231 sorry to hear about your BFN - definitely a call for drinks in the sun if it is nice this weekend

@Minster2012 a work pal went to Bridlington beach last weekend - looks gorgeous

@lucyrp 54% looks good no? What should it be?

@Newbie0818 you're right to take a break if you need one - it's the best thing even though it feel like giving up. If we didn't take a break in life once in a while - holidays, sleeping - we wouldn't be able to function and I'm sure it's the same with ttc xxx

Random question but for those who get ovulation pain, do you take that as when your egg is being released and try and dtd there and then? As well as days running up to of course.

@Minster2012 @Katao definitely think il still get them done. I'l have to ring and check if they've kept my appointment hopefully they will have.

@samilicious there's no set amount but it should be higher than any others you've had but I'm not really sure what mine are doing

@notyetamumbuttrying hey hun! Hope you're good x I get pain in the run up to ovulation but it's mild compared to the day of ovulation, that I feel proper and once I feel that pain I do a opk and it's blazing (but the morning of it would have been faint) so I guess it depends, if I waited for the big pain it would be a little late because I get my positive opk same day as ovulation. I dunno if that helps lol

@2020mission congratulations!

@Newbie0818 take care hun

@notyetamumbuttrying I get pains, not every month, but I honestly don’t think there is way to know
@Newbie0818 take that break, and come back better, you know we’ll be here to support you
@Minster2012 we’ll support in whatever, you know that
@2020mission fantastic news! We are all happy for you, even if it doesn’t happen for me, I will still celebrate all the bfps,
I think I’ll give 4 or 5 more cycles, but it doesn’t look good, I just wanna wait for af every cycle left and if it happens, bonus!

Thanks @Missgoldilocks still interesting to hear. I'm good thanks, apart from work stressing me out 😣 how are you?

@Franklydear thanks, yeah I agree!

@Franklydear keeping my fingers crossed for you, wish I had the strength to just wait for AF instead of disappointment of BFNs then af turning up but I just don’t have the willpower.

Thanks to everyone who tagged me with congratulations messages! 💕 I'll be sticking around for now and hoping to see more BFPs 🤞 you can all get lucky, if it can happen to me!

@Florence13 I never used to, I think I am resigning myself that is not gonna happen... I just get so devastated month after month, I felt better the last couple of months as I have not tested and seen a bfn, obviously I am aware of when fw should be even if I am not tracking, but apart from that, is just left to fate

@franklydear I said the same to my friend tha other day. Said we will see how it goes. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen and wasnt meant to be. But I'd have regretted not trying

@2alreadywantanother I am definitely happy we tried, even if it doesn’t happen, it will close a chapter for me, I can accept that it wasn’t meant to be, I knew it would be difficult and a long shot, let’s face it, it was hard enough to get ds a decade ago, the wanting a baby was for us, I am certainly not done, but also for ds to have a sibling, we don’t have any family in this country, we have some very good friends that are like family, but is not the same, and they would have each other,....
But we’ll be trying till Xmas, There’s still a chance, I just can’t afford to allow myself to become obsess with it.

Loads of time then lol
Sending babydust ur way xx (keeping a tiny bit here lol)

@2020mission congratulations!! How long was you trying and what did you do this month? :) xx

@notyetamumbuttrying Ahhh you need a massage!! I'm okay just super hot hehe xx

Just done a CB and flashing again. Also did another IC and still high. How many days should you get quite strong lines on ICs for ? Feel like there's something wrong with me again😫

@Missgoldilocks thanks! We were trying since January, but stopped actively trying for a couple of months during the peak of covid, so it was 6 months of actively trying. This is what I did...

First half of cycle every day (post AF):
Glass of tropical grapefruit juice
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds on breakfast

Second half of cycle every day:
1 tbsp sunflower seeds on breakfast
1 tbsp sesame seeds on breakfast
3 Brazil nuts

Every day all cycle:
Vitamin D 10mcg
Folic acid 400mcg

BD on CD 6, 8, 11-13, 16, 19
Usually ovulate on day 12

I also did have a few glasses of wine each weekend and a full caffeine latte every other day, so didn't cut those out completely this month.

The only real difference this month was adding the Brazil nuts, everything else is the same as previous months.

@notyetamumbuttrying I felt the same as you but I got this this morning after 13 months. Can't quite believe it but bless DH he is so happy.

Congratulations to those with positives and fingers crossed for those yet to test.

Don't know where the photo went!

@Franklydear keep the faith, look what happened to @blodyn91 last month TTC before a break and it happened!
I’m of the same mindset as you and @2alreadywantanother though, if it happens then great but if not it’s not meant to be for me.
Thanks for tips @2020mission adds grapefruit juice to Tesco shop 🤣

@Nichelette wow congrats! August really is a bumper month already!
