@notyetamumbuttrying enjoy!

@notyetamumbuttrying enjoy your holiday hun :)

Af had got me today bang on time, brown discharge atm sure it'll turn into full flow at some point. Had a massive cry this morning because it's just so unfair then had my mum come over and tell me my cousin is pregnant and how she wasn't even trying. Aaarrggggfhh are you fucking kidding me.

Hope everyone is doing okay? Im just glad I booked Italy for October fertile week, bring on all the carbs and the wine!!!!

@JustMouse I am from the north so freezing and rains most of the bloody time, but we are very family orientated so there's little reason to leave the house really
@Missgoldilocks sorry to hear, be kind to yourself today
The nails chipping bothers me, often have the bottle at work so I can fix them 🙈 but I am trying to be better and redo them instead

Oh no @Missgoldilocks what timing 😭😭

Hi @Franklydear sorry to just but in but I was enjoying your breakfast chat and iw anted to suggest porridge pots. The instant ones for on the go you just add hot water to. I use them alot for work and I get mixed fruit or fresh fruit to chuck in with them. I've also been known to add a few chocolate chips to the pot if it's a plain one. But you can buy so many flavours now it's much easier. Not the most creative breakfast but quick an easy and you can grab and go if you don't have time to eat them at home.

Hope you girls are all doing okay, I've been quietly keeping up with this thread - hoping & praying your BFPs and some answers for those with bonkers cycles. 💕🙏🏻 Xx

Sorry for being a bit quiet ladies, it's been another weekend where I've been away. Have also been a bit grumpy/sad that OH made no effort to BD for ovulation yday. We DTD on O-2 and O-4 but nothing more than that. Super frustrating that missing OD is just not a big deal for him and he doesn't quite seem to get why it is for me when we can just try again next month 🙄.

I do need to chill a bit though as we're still in with a chance I guess!

@Juno231 I feel your pain, same with me this month but as someone says it's only takes one to make it happen. The only positive is I'm 5dpo and not symptom spotting or even really thinking about being in the 2ww because I know it's not likely so I'm having a much more chilled than normal 2ww.

Morning everyone, nothing to report-back to school today so summer holidays over for another year 😢
X

Aww @Missgoldilocks what rotten timing to tell you that. Hope you're OK, the TTC game just doesn't seem fair does it. 😢

Sorry I've been quiet ladies, I took a month off to get my head together, last month hit me hard because it was cycle 12. We decided to just have a month about us not about ttc this month and I must say its been bliss. I've still tracked my temp and ov just to make sure everything was working as it should but sex wasnt about ttc it was just about having fun and being us again and in the end we probably had more sex than when ttc!
I know its hard to relax while ttc but I def recommend every couple of months just taking a month off to reconnect with your partner and give your own head some time off the ttc pressure as BFN after BFN time and time again definitely starts to take its toll physically and emotionally! I definitely felt the better of it this month, it was much needed.

Had a feeling a few days ago (about 8dpo) that I was pregnant, zero symptoms just a very strong gut feeling. Did about 4 tests all negative but the feeling was that strong I wouldn't believe them. Got 2 faint positives yesterday and the day before and then BFN this morn, temp dropped and HR dropped this morn too so I think its safe to say its game over again. Actually cried on my way to work this morn, I'd have been fine if I didnt get the faint positives as this month wasn't about ttc and I was actually feeling so relaxed and happy after my month off! The TTC journey well and truly sucks! Thats my rant over with, shall scroll back through during my lunch break get up to speed with everyone's goss, hope there's lots of good news :)

@Franklydear love your nail polish!!

@Missgoldilocks so sorry, it is so unfair but be kind to yourself.

@Juno231 yes your definitely still in with a chance it only takes one time.

No updates here really haven’t used OPKs but think I’m toward the end of my fertile week. So TWW here I come, hoping I can remained chilled but probably won’t be in a few days as I will be symptom spotting.

@notyetamumbuttrying have a lovely break!!

@Clairey844 ohh no! I don't get back until the 4th! I'm savouring this last week😂

@Missgoldilocks ohhh how shit, there's absolutely nothing worse, especially when you get hit with the "they weren't even trying" well bloody good for them!! Chin up love!! Glad you've got Italy on fertile week, bloody enjoy yourself❤️

@Juno231 remember it only takes the one time, but I understand your frustration, I've been like that before with OH, they just don't seem to understand it sometimes do they! It was the other way round for us last night, when I realised yesterday that I was in fertile week (I was completely oblivious) I sent OH a screenshot of the flo app, he went to the pub last night and when he got home I was asleep and he kept trying and I was just so tired, anyway he turns round and says "but babe I thought it was fertile week" anyway that woke me straight up and he gave me a bloody good seeing to!!

@DKDK123 so sorry you feel like this and you've had the faint positives, it's such an emotional draining journey this TTC malarkey!! I'm glad you had a nice month off though and could reconnect as a couple and have sex just as fun and not a chore, we've been taking a relaxed approach this month, no juice, seeds, etc might only even take a couple opk's when I think it's coming into ov day! I feel sad for you that you feel like this and that you've had a cry, but please try not to give up hope, your time will come no matter how it happens, I think you should a enjoy a few too many gins/wine this weekend and lots of chocolate!!

@Missgoldilocks so sorry to hear af got you. 🤞🏻 For next cycle.

@DKDK123 so sorry to hear you got a bfn after two faints. That’s awful. Testing early can be so mean but we all do it. It nice to read you took time off ttc also sounds very refreshing. I hope you get your bfp soon x

@Sausage1990 thanks that might work and will allow for variety, lots of things to try

I managed to rustle up the courage to throw a preg test into my trolley yesterday in the supermarket (not sure why it embarrasses me so much haha?!) - BFN! I felt a bit of relief to be honest as I assumed AF will immediately follow and I could get on with my cycle. But still so sign of AF today, it’s making me feel so on edge. I’ve never had a cycle this long before (my average is 27 days, currently sitting in cd31).

Is it just me who gets embarrassed about buying pregnancy tests haha

Thanks @Vil10 & @Runnergirl1 feeling OK now just had a wobble this morn. I wasn't even going to test at all this month there was just something in me that was saying I'm pregnant. Not like the usual my boobs are sore or symptom spotting as I had zero symptoms just something in me was telling me. Im guessing with the 2 faint positives it was just another chemical but weird how my body just knew! Now just (im)patiently waiting for AF ready to start a new cycle.

@max31 I usually buy mine online, the one time I did go to the supermarket it was in a jeweled case and the cashier couldn't get it open I was there for ages then she had to call someone else over I was so embarrassed and knew it was silly, 36 and getting embarrassed at people seeing me buy a pregnancy test, no idea why! 😂

Well, I've prepared my very first overnight oats, layer of oats covered in milk, layer of blueberries covered in honey, layer of Greek yogurt. I hope it turns out ok

@Franklydear that sounds good!! I really do recommend choc shot, it's ace!
@DKDK123 don't give up hope, glad you're feeling a little brighter.
@Juno231 you should be in with a really good chance, good luck!

Nothing new to report here I'm between 4.5 and 5 weeks pregnant, I've had a tired few days but I'm feeling a lot brighter today which is stupidly making me feel worried. Only time will tell eh

Welcome to motherhood @Busybee143, where you worry about every little thing in pregnancy and it doesnt stop after they're born 😂 In all seriousness tho, feeling tired some days and totally fine other days is totally normal so try not to worry. Your scan week will be here soon and it'll hopefully let you relax a bit after that :)

@Franklydear that sounds good hope you enjoy it tomorrow!

@DKDK123 glad your feeling a bit better about it all, this journey is so tough.

@DKDK123 haha thank you!! I hope you're right and it will be here very soon, I'm very excited but nervous. Thank you for the reassurance! How are you feeling this evening?

@Busybee143 I think I've missed your good news while I was away, so congratulations! Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like the month started with loads of BFPs but then trailed off so glad to see there's some good news again.

@Juno231 Completely understand the frustration of not getting to DTD on the optimal date but you've definitely still got a chance so keep positive! I have to say I can't wait for the new thread to come soon as it's horrible seeing my name under the list of BFPs

Ladies, I found my breakfast, prepared yesterday so 0 work, nutritious, yummy, like having a pudding for breakfast, now to play with variations

Ooh sounds like my kind of breakfast @Franklydear! I might give it a go this week.

@Franklydear sounds fab! I might also give it a go.

@Missgoldilocks nooooooo what timing???!!! But yayyy for Italy though, that sounds great, perfect baby making time!!! I'm gonna join you on the AF timing though, we are away with friends (friends and family though, their toddler & 7 month old, our 2 year old & our 2 dogs) when I've just realised my northisterone will finish & so I will not only come on but be surrounded by annoying woman who was NOT sensitive about being pregnant before & her 7 month old & her fella I don't really get on with. ANAZING. NOT🤪🤨

@Busybee143 so pleased you feel better & no more spotting then & yayyyy see I told ya you are pregnant!! 🥳🥳🥳

@DKDK123 that sounds really rough I'm so sorry for the positives then BFN lovely. Sending big hugs your way it's truly right our bodies are fuck boys.

@Max31 no I get embarrassed too & im 36! Fully legit to buy them 😋😛our bodies are fuck boys. As soon as you want TTC, head screws.

@Franklydear sounds lovely, but I'm afraid mine all turned out horrible mush?!

We've got our IVF call this morning 🤞🏻🤫so first steps. It will prob end up in another row. Humph
