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!

@newtolineofduty it's awful isn't it! I'm useless at making decisions on colours and taps and skirting! It did my head in!

We think so similar! Just remember, it will happen, keep the faith and send out those positive manifestations every morning!

I've done well. It's now tv in bed time arghhhh! Hopefully he falls asleep soon! I was grilling him about exactly where he's going tomo and what time as he WFH but goes out on visits to clients and stuff. He didn't even catch on! 🤣 my postman is normally here by 8.30 so hoping this thing is here otherwise it's plan B with the scratchy thing!🤣🤣 x

@MrsRosaline

So pleased for you *@hoola23* 😊

@MrsRosaline thank you so much! ❤️ keeping everything crossed for you! Positive vibes only!!

Uh oh! The FRER this morning looks pretty much the sam as the one yesterday! Should it not be getting darker!!??

Oh god and I've just discovered my CM has a browny blood twinge to it. No actual blood just a coloured CM. This doesn't look like it's going to end well does it! What will be will be, if it doesn't stick I really will take the positive from this which is I did get pregnant and it will happen again! ❤️

Congratulations @hoola23! Xx

I've decided to have a of month or two off TTC, it's my peak today but not doing anything, quite a lot going on here and I've decided to have a couple of months on a real health kick taking supplements to help with egg quality and loosing weight - just focusing on other things as my DS has delays which are causing me stress, and stress isn't good for these things. I will be following your journeys though and joining back in properly when ready (hopefully you all will be pregnant!) xx

@LittleDoveLove that sounds really sensible! Nothing better than doing some self care and focusing on your self! I hope you start to feel better soon! Xx

Hello ladies! Was wondering if I can join in? Before I do though I just want to say congratulations to @hoola23 !!🎉🎉 A little bit of spotting in early pregnancy is normal so please don't worry about your brown CM unless it gets heavier!!

I'm now officially on day 1 of cycle #2, TTC DC1 with DP. I honestly (naïvely) thought it would happen straight away for us as we're both young, healthy, and DTD right when we were meant to, not everything is meant to be though eh. On the positive side, since coming off the combined pill 2 cycles ago, I've ovulated on cd17 and Had a 32 day cycle both times so at least I'm nice and regular!

Whereabouts is everyone else in their cycles at the moment?

@hoola23 don't panic hun x lots of people get bleeding etc-it could just be implantation. I think as long as the frer hasn't got lighter I'd try not to worry but retest tomo xxx

@LittleDoveLove that sounds like a really good plan-a rest from the mental and physical effort will be really lovely x I'm deffo going to consider that if nothing has happened in Afew months x

@hereforthefood welcome! Thanks for the congrats! Super early but cautiously excited for now!

I felt totally the same on cycle 1, was sure it would just happen! 12 cycles later and it has! That's good that everything seems to be regular for you, it can be so hard pin pointing things otherwise! Please keep us updated! Xx

@newtolineofduty I'll keep an eye out for any more but seems to have stopped now! This morning was a bit stressful. Postman normally arrives at 8.30 on the dot. 11 am he still wasn't here!!! I was almost about to resort to plan B when I heard the doorbell and it had arrived! My heart was racing as I walked upstairs and gave DH the box with the baby grow in it. He opened it and laughed and then looked at me. I think he just thought it was like a cute thing to give him. About 20 seconds went past and I burst into tears saying I'M PREGNANT! He was gob smakced! And burst into tears and hugged me. It was so special and cute! I had to show him all my tests too as he was so shocked. I had that breakdown at 6dpo with the evap and said "I'm not pregnant!" And got all upset so I think that's why he was so shocked! He is so excited already but I've told him to just be realistic as it's so early. He is dying to tell my mum but we're going to see her on weds and I want to tell her face to face! This has been the best day ever! ❤️❤️

Aww @hoola23 that made me well up reading that!!!!!!! I'm so glad you got to follow through with your plan!!!!!!!! Xxx

Thank you ladies, still keeping my reflexology! I'm following it starts with the egg too to try and hopefully make sure healthy eggs. Unsure if just the one month off bit more , gonna see how everything is and how we are feeling. Ovulated CD14 this month not 17, the sticks were right for once though 😂. Still tracking on my time away from it xx

Fingers crossed for everyone and I'll still be here following and commenting! 😃 xx

@newtolineofduty awww! Yes the perfectionist in me has been satisfied I think 🤣🤣🤣🤣 how are you feeling today? X

@LittleDoveLove how do you find reflexology? Do you go somewhere to have it done or practice at home? X

@hoola23 I have someone come to the house, it's great, £45 for an hour! It worked for me the month I conceived but unfortunately had the EMC but I'm keeping it up to keep me relaxed now as well as I'm pretty sure that's what helped me! I did it just a few days before I was due to ovulate xx

Good thank you @hoola23! I'm 8dpo so last month (obsessed) me would have been tuning in to any cramping etc as I'm aware this is the most common implantation day but I've not given it a second thought! Still feeling very positive-I almost want to freeze here as I know I'll start to get less and less chilled as AF due date approaches! I'm not even sure when I'd be classed as late as my period isn't due until 16th but I ovulated early so this Sunday would be 14dpo! X

@LittleDoveLove that's good!!! What do they do exactly?! So sorry about your EMC😢 but I think it's really good to keep doing things that make you feel good! X

@newtolineofduty well done!!! Glad you're sticking to your plan and being super chilled! That in itself is worth celebrating- we all know how hard that is! Go you! Woo!
What will be will be, keep with the chilled mentality; it will make everything so much better! Still saying my positive mantra for you and sending lots of positive energy Out for you! ❤️

Hi everyone, hope it is ok for me to join in? I am ttc baby number 1. I have mild PCOS - it was bad for a while but since January my periods have been like clockwork pretty much and I have a 31 day cycle. I was stressed last month and didn't ovulate but this month I felt the mid-cycle twinge and DTD three times in the fertile window so hoping... this is my second month TTC. I'm taking myo-inositol, a good prenatal and trying out reflexology too. I know it can take a while so glad to join the community here :)

So just catching up with all of this!

@hoola23 oh my good that is the sweetest reveal EVER! I'm amazed you could keep it from DH for so long! I would have caved within minutes. How are you feeling at the moment? Has it sunk in yet?

@hereforthefood welcome!! I'm currently awaiting the arrival of AF anyway now - I'm actually due either tomorrow or Wednesday and I really do think this month hasn't been THE month.

However, after a talk with my hubby, we've decided to really chill out next month and just see what happens. All this symptom spotting, charting cervix etc just got to me, and I think the stress and the emotional journey of the last few weeks at home (toilet training toddler, Grandad now terminally ill, and a friend passing away) was the icing on the cake. I am a firm believer that our bodies know best, and recently hasn't been good. When AF comes, I'm going to take it as another chance to have some nice connection time with the hubby, rather than a baby making factory.

Welcome @plantbasedlondoner and @hereforthefood!

I'm 8dpo TTC baby 2-this month is our fourth cycle. Happened first time with our first so all this trying is new for me! Xx

@newtolineofduty I swear I'm going to be like 3 weeks behind you
