@Minster2012 lol the more I learn about it the more we sound like pandas. Ie it's bloody impossible to procreate and how are they not extinct yet?? (for those of you not acquainted with panda reproduction - they live on their own, miles apart from another panda, and are only fertile 2-3 days PER YEAR)

@Minster2012 that definitely looks like it has divided more 🙌🙌🙌 Just relax for the next two weeks now (much easier said than done).

Great news @Minster2012 and fascinating; although weirdly that's kinda how I expected the cells to look... too much googling every aspect of TTC me thinks 😂

Great news too and such a relief I bet @Catherinettc 😍

CD1 for me-after all my limbo of ooh is it IB, did I jinx myself coming on here, and spotting every symptom my body displayed, the BFNs on cd 11 and 13 were accurate and here I am onto cycle 18 (minus the 3 months I was pregnant with the MMC)

So, am DETERMINED to not stress-apps deleted bar one that I've always used to log my periods, thermometer going back in the drawer to collect dust and BD will be purely for fun-if it happens when I'm fertile all the better but my mental health can't handle the strain of stressing. Have a wedding abroad in July so falling this month or next wouldn't be ideal anyway (but obviously very welcome lol) so my focus is losing the 12lb lockdown gain that will get me back to my SlimmingWorld target rather than googling endlessly 11dpo itchy little toe etc etc 😂😂😂

@Juno231 put me down for testing 30th October

Positive vibes to everyone's next stage be it testing, ovulating or just ticking off another day xxx

@Juno231 please I should add-read it back and thought god that sounds rude. Not intended sorry-was being all determined not to test earlier kinda tone x

@Clairey844 haha I've re-read your message twice and can't fathom any of it being interpreted as rude! Well done you for taking a step back from tracking, I hope that results in a bean for you 🤞

@Clairey844 the month i 'gave up was the month it worked lol xx

@Minster2012 yes definitely a sexier marble this time! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞 What an incredibly exciting and also stressful (I would imagine) time for you.

My AF wasn't long or heavy which was also puzzling, then I even thought maybe it was some kind of early pregnancy bleeding (yes silly I know) so I caved and did a pregnancy test yesterday which would be 17DPO but it was negative so then I felt even more daft doing it 🙄

So I'm back to testing for ovulation again and started to temp although I don't understand temping so just putting in my app and hoping it makes sense of it for me😂

@2020mission yes me! I don't do any of it now. ESP when our issue is male factor, seems pointless me doing it all! 🤷🏾‍♀️
@Catherinettc aw lovely! Hope all continues to go well for you ☺️
@Juno231 I second spunk me up 😂
And love that panda fact!
@Minster2012 it's fascinating! Thanks for sharing everything with us 😘 have everything on my body crossed for you!!

@notyetamumbuttrying at least your DH is doing something about it, that's all can be asked and hopefully it helps and you get your little bean x

@Catherinettc amazing!! So so happy it went well!!x

@Minster2012 it's so so fascinating!! Isn't it crazy what can be done nowadays!!

So I feel like I'm ovulating more than last month like I know that probs sounds stupid but last month I didn't have much obvious ewcm and didn't seem overly wet, but this time Jesus, just been to the toilet and was so so wet, moister then and oyster and had ewcm again!! Hoping this means its easier for little spermys🤞🏼

@Minster2012 I hope ur lying with the legs up! 🤣🤣 im more excited for u than for me 🤣🤣 xx

@Minster2012 awww little eggy! Hope it's a sticky bean for you xx

@2020mission yes!! I gave up on it all as I think as long as you're eating healthy, moving enough and having regular sex, it's BOUND to happen eventually! I mean unless there's a genuine fertility issue or something. Try to relax, it's so much more enjoyable x

@Catherinettc awww little bean 💕💕

Can someone please tell my body to ovulate already?! Thanks!

I am lying with my feet up don't worry @Catherinettc but now totally thinking about them poor 🐼imagine if you had to travel for TTC for them 2/3 days & it didn't work?? Gutted 😫🐼

@Ladybird345 its not silly at all and you shouldn't feel daft! God we are the crazy club here! Our body's are fuck boys! 😂😬

@Clairey844 yup nothing rude about that & here's to not stressing just having sex & fun likkkkkkkeeee our @Vil10 there having a bloody bonkathon of her life!! ❤️🥰🤗

@Minster2012 @Clairey844 here's to not stressing and taking the most relaxed approach to TTC that we can🥂🤞🏼

@Vil10 yeah defo! Just feel very impatient now. 13 months of ttc tomorrow and feels like a lifetime!
Ooh yay to the ov signs!! Get bonking! If you can handle anymore 😂

@Minster2012 glad those feet are up 😉

@Newbie0818 oi!! 🔊 ovulate. There you go 🤣

@Minster2012 & @Juno231 it was where I said about my testing date but I didn't say please so it sounded really demanding 😂😂

Cheers to that @Vil10 🧉🍸

@Newbie0818 's egg- get with the programme - see the picture it's YOUR TIME to meet your man ☺️

Aww so glad to hear all went well yesterday @Minster2012 and @Catherinettc 🥳

I've decided I'm going to take a break from MN and TTC for a couple of months. Ive bounced back every time from the CPs but this time has just hit me hard for some reason no matter how much I think I'm OK. Burst into tears in work yesterday when someone mentioned babies, and I'm not usually a crier but by god the waterworks have barely stopped this week! So we're going to stop trying for a while just look after ourselves as I dont know if I could cope going thru it again a 5th time any time soon. I hope in the nicest possible way that when I feel ready to rejoin I dont see the majority of you still on here as I hope you're all away with little jelly beans growing in your bellies! Best of luck for all those bfp ladies and enjoy the shagfests 😉

@DKDK123 look after yourself & DH lots of love & hugs xxxx ❤️🥰

@Minster2012 hope you have a sticky bean 😊

@DKDK123 take care of yourself.

Sorry I haven’t been around turns out moving house and into a renovation project takes over your life. I think my period is due any day now so just waiting for her to arrive. Hope everyone is doing alright.

@DKDK123 I understand completely-sending hugs xxx

@DKDK123 wishing you all the best, take care of yourself x

@notyetamumbuttrying I can imagine!! Try to stay positive though, it'll happen one way or another!! Hahaha we bonked yesterday morning so going to go for everyday job until Sunday/Monday now I think!

@DKDK123 understand completely!! Look after yourselves!! Lots of hugs🥰

Hi all! Can I join in? I'm a long time lurker on this board, it's the only one on MN I can get invested in, the rest are all so boring by comparison! Asking to join feels a bit like asking to sit at the cool table

Just in my TWW now, second cycle of trying but I have PCOS and had surgery for endo in January. Also might have blocked tubes, they showed as blocked during my laparoscopy, but the surgeon thought it might be a false positive. On the waiting list for a HSG to confirm but we're just trying as hard as we can before then in the hope it can happen naturally and I can avoid yet another invasive vag exam.

So... I'm all a bundle of nerves, basically. Really wish I knew less about my lady bits and we could just bonk away in blissful ignorance and see what happens.

Oh, and I'm on the bus for the 14th. But might crack and test before then.

Hi @nestinginnl Welcome! I'm pretty rubbish at posting in here but I read religiously and am very invested in everyone's journeys. I am maybe on ov day. I'm never really sure because I dont track ov but my flo app says so (fat lot of good she usually is though). Weve been DTD every other day since CD 10 so I feel like we're in with a shot this cycle - other cycles weve been pretty hit and miss due to long work days, dog troubles and holidays with family!

Hope everyone is keeping positive and happy on this rainy thursday (its raining down south anyway).

Ps I dont even eat meat but every time I look at this thread name I get a real craving for a sausage sarnie.....and I know that's not the type of sausage I'm meant to be focussing on!!!
