Think we need a new thread as I tried to post on the old thread and it wouldn't let me!! Please tag in anyone else I've missed who may want to join us here!

@hoola23 I'm really sorry to hear that chick. Sending you hugs and plenty of positive vibes. Even though you know for sure, it's never easy. Those BFN's are just awful to look at 😥

Make sure you take time out for yourself this week, ok? Even if it means just sitting in the bath with some wine and reading a book. You've got to look after yourself ❤️

@plantbasedlondoner if it's any help I've only ever used the CB OPK's before. I used to pink ones rather than the purple ones, but that's because I just wanted to know when my surge was, rather than days before...mostly because I didn't have the energy to DTD that much 😂

Thank you @plantbasedlondoner I'm going to watch that and hopefully it will reassure me I don't need to panic that it's taking longer than with my first!

@hoola23 I think it's positive you did that to help with the processing of it but must have felt so sad to look at after the high of the positive. It really is a rollercoaster. Sending love hun xxx

@newtolineofduty @CShandy01 @plantbasedlondoner thank you lovely ladies. I'm honestly ok about it all now I feel a lot better today and more focused. Going to start my diet plan tomo and obsess over that instead 🤣 it will happen again I'm sure. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be and that's ok

I have a counselling session at 7pm but it's CBT that I requested about a gillion years ago through NHS and they happened to call me the other day.

Defo going to force DH to watch that Netflix thing. He still thinks I'm talking crap when I say it's like 3 days a month more or less to conceive 🤣

Hope everyone is gearing up for fertile week 😉

@CShandy01 ooh great tip re the pink ones, I'll go for those!

Yes the Netflix episode is short and sweet and explains it really well... @newtolineofduty I am sure it will reassure you!

Can't wait for my period to be over as just feel like eating chocolate and sleeping right now😂 @hoola23 hope your CBT goes well lovely, I found it really helpful when I did it years ago

@hoola23 that's great timing re the therapy!!!! My fitness pal is a great distraction from TTC!
@plantbasedlondoner I managed to watch that programme whilst my daughter was napping! It's great! I found it encouraging actually! I was surprised they didn't talk about egg quality though! I'm convinced that's my problem! X

@newtolineofduty I know what are the chances! I've never done CBT before so I'm not sure how it's going to go. Just had first session and she was really lovely which is half the battle with any therapy! She thinks my main issue is social anxiety which I agree with so going to be working on that mainly so will see how it goes

Sorry to hear about the BFN @hoola23. At least now you know for sure and you can move on. Hopefully the therapy is helpful to you and glad you finally got an appointment!! You have to wait ages for these things.

@MrsRosaline thank you hun, yeah defo moved on now! How are you feeling more importantly!! Any symptoms yet? Xxx

Yes absolutely it's the most important thing @hoola23 the relationship you have with the therapist!!! I hope you find it helpful and couldn't be better timing!

So I'm currently eating Brie and blue cheese just because I can! 😂 x

I'm doing good! The brown spotting has dried up and the tests are still positive, although they don't seem that dark 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also have ZERO symptoms. I'm sure I was exhausted by this point when I was pregnant with DD... No real reason to worry though if I'm not bleeding I guess.

@MrsRosaline try not to overthink it. I'm sure symptoms are normal after 6/7 weeks and you're only 5 if that right? Yeah defo don't worry if there's no bleeding! Just try and relax and enjoy!! ❤️

No I would only be four! My period was due yesterday and nothing has come so far! So yes it would still be v early.

@MrsRosaline oh well then totallllllly relax! Enjoy the no symptoms while it lasts!

@newtolineofduty Frank is getting worse in MAFSuk. This is not going to end well!

Ok so I have started to watch MAFSUK. We are only on episode 2 @hoola23 @newtolineofduty 😂

@hoola23 thank goodness his partner has started to notice though!!!! He really is awful!!!

@MrsRosaline so glad you're doing well!!!! You'll love MAFS! ❤️

@MrsRosaline I knew we'd convert you!!!!! Yay! It really is addictive analysing other people!! We're keeping a close eye on Frank, you'll quickly learn why!

@newtolineofduty she is, she starting to call him out but also trying to be respectful still. She's has so much to say but won't. Interesting that she left their apartment for the night when they had an argument

@hoola23 she looks so uneasy around him and I'd even say she looks frightened sometimes! Xxx

@newtolineofduty yeah defo! I wonder how it will all end!!

Well I've been a good girl today, stuck to my diet (so far) got weighed (threw up in shock🤣) and have decided to wait another month before TTC again so I can really get focused and give myself and body time to heal. Started spotting again this morning so I just think my uterus needs a break 🤣 has AF started for you yet? X

That sounds like a great plan @hoola23! For me focusing on diet and exercise helps me feel like I'm taking some control over what feels really uncontrollable! It's amazing how quickly the fertile week comes and goes too! AF came Monday so I'm CD4. It's crazy to think this time next week I'll be in my fertile window-it feels like there's no 'down time' at all when TTC, so I think it's great to give yourself a month off to reset. My diet starts Monday! I've eaten so much on holiday! X

@newtolineofduty I forgot you were away!! How is it? So desperate for a holiday!!

My god I'm so glad it's Friday tomo! I'm totally done with work this week. I literally didn't move from my chair ALL day!

Yeah defo taking a month off to chill, get my cycle normal ish again and get as skinny as possible!

@hoola23 that really does sound like a fantastic plan 🙂🙂 honestly when you focus on "you" it just makes you feel so much better. I got so much energy back when I lost the rest of my baby weight (plus an extra stone). Bloody annoying keeping it off though!!! I've also tried to knock back on the caffeine and the booze (not that we drink much these days anyway) but dripping my caffeine intake has made a huge difference...didn't realise how much it was messing up my sleep.

CD8 here and we're finding time to have a bit of fun before picking up DD from nursery. It's the stolen moments that make it worth while 😂😂

So I'm clearly needing to get in on this series because all the kids at school are in about it! Is it on Netflix?

No it's E4 @CShandy01! It's great! X

@CShandy01 that's amazing that you lost the weight- how did you do it?! Booze doesn't bother me at all, I prob drink one glass of wine every other month so dropping that would have zero impact, my belly is defo a food belly🤣 caffeine, I physically don't think I could give it up. Two coffees a day sometimes 3! 😑

So happy that you're having some good DTD sessions! Shouldn't call it that really as it sounds like it's way more than that for you this month❤️

And yes! You have to catch up! Think you've got 10 episodes to binge watch 🤣🤣
