@HappyVibes @VP91x thank you ladies! Yep I’ve made semi peace with the fact that I’ve missed the window this time round but it will give me the time to get back to my healthy routine after all the drinks and food on holiday - not good!! It was just cos of the holiday now that OH and I weren’t together but we are usually together! So will catch next cycle :) I’ve had a lovely spa day with my friend but we have had to much to eat and drink so are sat in our room now feeling sick lol! Went for a lovely hike as well though and caught in a thunderstorm lol all very adventurous!! Only two more sleeps until I’m back with OH - I miss him now.
Will keep doing an OPKS for the next couple of days as you ladies have suggested

Thank you!!! Xxx

@Firevie definitely the right attitude lovely. We can't be putting everything on hold and adding to the anxiety for missing FW. Enjoy the last day or two in Austria

@Bl0ndi3 amazing about catching your peaks. What a lovely pleasant surprise. Sounds like you're nicely covered this month

@BEESY90 how are you getting on?

@Diorissimo1985 how are you?

@chloedancer897 😂😂😂😂 itchy pits are the new thing 😏

xx

@Pugprincess and anyone else that asked, he is following us around. Mainly OH. He was so naughty with me this morning and as soon as he woke he was good as gold, sleeping by his feet. Little monkey xx

@MichT4 awww look at the little monkey- such a cute little one! Thanks you’re right we just put too much on hold with this TTC journey. I’m upset but nothing I can do about it. Also, FYI - have updated all my apps and have recorded cd17 as my peak and have marked today as ovulation - is that right?! Weirdly enough premom is still predicting next FW around cd31 in October / they always predict it so late just like this time round when it was off by two weeks! I think I will start testing cd12 again leading up ago cd17. But will do a combination of cheap OPKS and cbd- what do you ladies think? And @VP91x you really are the TTC guru Xxx

@MichT4 he looks adorable! 😍

@BEESY90 sorry you are going through this. I went to A&E initially and it was a waste of time, all they would do was a blood test to tell me it showed I was pregnant and booked me in for a scan with the EPU a few days later. Hope you are able to rest as much as possible right now.

I am assuming my period is due in the next couple of days (last one wasn’t a proper period as I think I had an Anovulatory month). Been symptom spotting loads even though I know it’s pointless.

@Sully84 so are you in your TWW now lovely & at the end of it? Have you been strong & resisted the testing? What makes you think you had an anovulatory month babe? Xx

@Firevie it's rubbish you may have missed ovulation but you have had a lovely break and reset your body. When you get home you can dtd for fun rather than because you have too. Enjoy the rest of tour holiday and have a safe journey home on Tuesday xx

@MichT4 but how could you be mad with that little face, he is so bloody cute xx

@Firevie You will feel disappointed about missing FW... I had this a few times with OH when he was working away last year. You can't help but feel sad about it. You've had a lovely break though and lots of fun on holiday and plus it sounds like you are in a good positive headspace and focused on all the right things 😊 xx

@MichT4 Aww he is just adorable! I love puppies 😍. They are a handful but so worth it xx

i never got a smiley face on my tests then instead of a proper period I had ten days of very light bleeding, never had a period like it so hoping it was a one off. Was a crappy month as was same month as my due date.

This month I didn’t do any ovulation tests as was on holiday and just tried to DTD around when I thought it might be.

I did do a test Friday night which was negative...hoping as it was in the evening and too early it didn’t really mean anything. I’m trying to be positive and hope something happens this week. I felt crampy for a couple of days leading up to the weekend. Honestly so confused this month.

Hello Ladies. I’ve been catching up with the last thread and now this one.

@MichT4 I’m so sorry to hear what you have been through, and that your relatives haven’t been supportive. Sending you all the positive thoughts and well wishes. Loki is adorable! Looks quite the mischievous one too!

@BEESY90 I hope you are okay. Thinking of you and I have everything crossed for you.

Update from me, I’ve been away last week and didn’t manage to keep up with CB OPKs to get the static but fingers crossed the dtd the days before I left have done the job as I got EWCM in the days before I left too. I managed to get a nasty UTI the day before I returned home so have had some blood in my urine (sorry TMI) but the doctor thought the blood was coming from my uterus which it definitely wasn’t. Anyhoo AF is around the corner and whilst I would be overjoyed with a BFP I’m not going to get my hopes up and this will be my first AF since MC so I can start fresh again when it does come.

I am also trying not to symptom spot but one of my early pregnancy symptoms are weird dreams and the past 2 nights I have had crazy dreams so that could be interesting.

Hope everyone else is okay and congrats to the two ladies on their recent scans - all positive and very lovely xx

Evening guys! well the photo i wanted you all to look at doesnt need to be looked at now because i have tested twice today and the test line is much darker than the control line :) this is cycle day 13 for me. when were/are the best days to dtd? ive dtd every day since cycle day 9 xx

@MinnieMouse4 this sounds exciting. It sounds like you definitely are well covered for that FW, so this could definitely be the one. How many DPO are you?

@KatiePlus3 have you got a pic? It’ll depend on what your lines are like as everyone CD’s are different of when is best to DTD. If you share you pic everyone is really helpful on here x

@HappyVibes I cant post a picture yet as i havent been a member for 48hrs :( xx

Ah @KatiePlus3 I see. What are your lines like? Are they as dark as each other? Is it darker or as dark as the control line? Xx

@HappyVibes yesterday my test lines were fainter than the control line, But today the test line is quite alot darker than the control line. I tested at 8am with first urine today and it wasnt quite as dark but did another test around 11am and the test line is that much darker it appeared even before the control line and same again on the test i did at 3pm too xx

@KatiePlus3 oh brill! It sounds like you’ve done fab then DTD already for a few days - so I would suggest keep going with DTD tomorrow & Tuesday. Sounds like you’re well covered girrrrl 💓

@HappyVibes The test line is alot darker than the control line. My first test at 8am the test line was fainter but the 2nd test at 11am i did then showed the test line darker than the control line and same again at 3pm. From 11am the test lines have been appearing before the control line theyre that dark xx

@HappyVibes I’m not sure what day I ovulated exactly but it’s been 13 days since first dtd and 8 days since last dtd. AF is due on 3 September. Xx

@HappyVibes Praying that this is my month 🤚

Hoping you all get your BFP's soon ❤

Morning everyone. How are you all today?

@Sully84 your evening tests sounds like something you can't rely on for sure. Fingers crossed for a later test. When do you plan to test again?

@MinnieMouse4 thank you. I've been slightly distracted with it all because of Loki's arrival. Still waiting for AF to make an appearance. It's all so strange!
Sounds like you've been in a nice relaxed mindset this cycle. Sorry about the UTI, they can be so nasty! The dreams sound promising though When are you expecting AF?

@KatiePlus3 it sounds like you caught your peak yesterday. I agree with @HappyVibes, DTD day of peak and the two following if you can. Sounds like you are well covered if you've been DTD every day. Fingers crossed for you.

Anyone got any updates today, temps, symptoms? Not that I'm encouraging looking for any 👀👀 xx

Thoughts - on Sunday I will be 30 (eeeek) and my OH is working nights so me and my best friend are going out for food and drinks.
I'll be around 6dpo at that point, am I okay to have a few drinks do you think? WWYD

@Bl0ndi3 May not be everyone's jam, but I would. I'm very much of the mind that if you don't know you're pregnant, you should carry on as normal. Obviously some people cut down generally on alcohol when TTC, but it's your 30th, and I don't think TTC should take over. Lots of people (me included when I first got pg) don't know and keep drinking. Enjoy yourself!! 🥂 xx

Morning ladies, going to catch up on the thread.

Currently dying of a bad cold, had a COVID test yesterday morning as have had a temperature but came back negative thankfully 🥰. Think it is just a bug that Bella has brought back with her from nursery.

Hope everyone is well xx

Oh no @VP91x hope you are feeling better soon glad your test was negative. Xx

@MichT4 Loki is gorgeous what a lovely distraction for you. Did the doctor say anything about what you should do about af not showing yet? Xx

Update on me I'm on cycle day 14 so in FW, had some creamy type cm no ewcm yet. My emotions have been all over the place 1 minute I'm so moody or crying my eyes out have no idea what's going on 🤦‍♀️.
Anyway hope you all have a nice Monday. Xx

@VP91x glad you haven't got COVID but sorry about the bug! Hope you feel better soon

@HE88 he certainly is a distraction 😂. No they didn't say. I'm going to call again tomorrow, make sure they've referred me (has to be nhs now as private have said no) and ask what they suggest. I had loads of EWCM on Saturday so wondering if I'm going to ovulate without bleeding, but I'm totally guessing.
I've been similar with emotions recently. At least we can always blame hormones! Hooray for the FW though! xx
