@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

Ooh I am heading home to watch that Friends episode too - nostalgic for it now as can't really remember it!

@Aims1991 hope you have made up with DH, arguments are the worst and can really blow up from nothing. I argued with DH one time on the day I was ovulating and really regretted it later as we usually make up v quickly

@newtolineofduty so sorry 🥺 Hope the little one and all of you are ok, can imagine how disappointing it all is - really rubbish luck xx

newtolineofduty · 19/11/2021 21:26

@hoola23 have you been using OPKs? X

hoola23 · 19/11/2021 21:32

@newtolineofduty yeah but only the cb ones. Got peak this morning after days of just low. Don't have any cheapies where you can see how much lh. It could be that I'll ovulate tomo and the pain is gearing up to it but I always used to think that the pain is when it's happening

newtolineofduty · 19/11/2021 21:40

@hoola23 if you've done it two out of the three days leading up to ovulation and tomo then that's great! X

@newtolineofduty I bloody hope so! I'm SO bored of TTC. Like SO bored! Warning I am going to be a right mos you depressive Minnie if this cycle is another failure!

hoola23 · 19/11/2021 22:26

*Miserable, depressive Minnie
🤣

GemB03 · 19/11/2021 22:27

Aww love that we're all friends fans! I cried all the way though the reunion, my DH just laughed at me - he didn't get it!
@hoola23 I watch it every day too. Know all the words but it's so comforting! I always think of that scene when chandler has just had the call from the doctor and has to tell Monica it isn't going to happen 😭

@Aims1991 me and my partner aren't having a good day either today. I'm about to get home and have to turn on the charm cus it's CD11 🤣 he's so stubborn too so I'm gonna have to work for it! 😂

CShandy01 · 19/11/2021 22:34

Right so I wrote a huge response and my
Phone has deleted it 🤬🤬🤬 can't remember what I wrote so here's a shorter versions...

@newtolineofduty hope you and DD get better soon! Make sure you rest up! Is your partner able to help out with the child care so you're not doing it all on your own? Xx

@hoola23 cracking news about your cycle length! Always good to know the body can adjust and go back to the way it was 🙂 that must be really reassuring.

@Aims1991 how are you and DH now? I'm with you on the whole stubborn partner front. Mine is from the north east AND he's a red head, so I'm double screwed!

@plantbasedlondoner any sign of AF this evening? Xxx

CShandy01 · 19/11/2021 22:36

I reckon if I ovulate on Sunday (CD17) I'll be bloody lucky. This is my longer ever cycle for ovulation. Tonnes and tonnes of CM, super stretchy as well...I've been getting my hopes up all week for a peak but NOOOOO! Mind you that's a good thing as DH and DD are poorly so last time we DTD was Monday and it won't be happening tonight as I'm sure I can hear DH vomming downstairs as I type this 😔 xx

Aims1991 · 19/11/2021 22:46

@CShandy01 yeah all good now, I had to totally take all the blame for the argument and it killed me! Because he was actually in the wrong. But DTD so that's all that matters

@GemB03 honestly it was such a hard graft, he kept saying no! So I just said fine enjoy doing your sperm analysis coz I ain't helping🤣 changed his mind quick 🤣🤣

hoola23 · 19/11/2021 22:49

@CShandy01 oh god hope DH is ok. Nothing like the sound of vomiting to indicate you won't be DTD tonight 🤣 think it's normal for ov to delayed a few days, mine was 2 I think on my next cycle. Hope you get down to business soon hun! ❤️

Aims1991 · 20/11/2021 08:13

Morning all, so this month is the first month I have got 2 days of having a peak showing. Normally I would have it yesterday and now it would be low the following day. I tested this morning and it's still peak. Quite excited as that never happens to me🤔

CShandy01 · 20/11/2021 08:44

That sounds super promising @Aims1991!! Make sure you manage to DTD today too 😊😊

Still absolutely nothing on my OPK's and I'm still having quite a bit of CM. Still stretchy and clear. Actually not as much as I was having during the week, but never mind. Maybe I'll be 5 days late because that's how long it was after my due date of AF when I started to bleed....so confusing!!!

How's everyone else this morning? Xx

Aims1991 · 20/11/2021 09:16

@CShandy01 yeah we tend to DTD everyday for 4-5 days when I get my peak! What opks do you use??

plantbasedlondoner · 20/11/2021 09:49

@Aims1991 that's a great sign ☺️ hope this is the month for you 🤞🏽

@CShandy01 ooh perhaps you are still a few days away from ovulation as you mentioned your cycle can also vary a little? Good that you have had so much CM this cycle though!

There was no sign last night and this morning I woke up, nervously got the pregnancy test out of my drawer walked to the bathroom and saw AF had arrived 🥺 I feel quite disappointed as I was 7-8 days late from when I usually come on but I also had such extreme stress this month with my deadline - shows the impact on my body and cycle. Just hoping it's a one off now that stress is over - exercise and sleeping properly really helps my cycle length too. Also have the cramps from hell so taking ibuprofen and watching Friends with a big brekkie on the couch.

I am determined to get on track this month - DH is committed too. Think I will just try OPKs like all of you, feels like BBT is a bit more complex?

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 10:19

@plantbasedlondoner oh babe I'm sorry, it's so upsetting when all the signs are there and then it doesn't happen. But, you did amazing for not testing! Plus it's been such a difficult month for you with work etc time to relax now I hope! Put you first!

Next month, you've got this! ❤️ hope you enjoy your big brekkie and friends ALWAYS makes everything better! Big hug x

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 10:20

@Aims1991 exciting! I love it when something different happens in my cycle! X

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 16:32

Urgh. So annoyed! I told DH we needed to have sex again during the day today but he's had a hangover and we're off out tonight so no chance we will do it again. My app says today is predicted day of ovulation. Is it worth doing it tomo?

CShandy01 · 20/11/2021 16:43

@plantbasedlondoner oh bless chick, I'm so sorry to hear that AF has arrived for you. However, think about how stressful this last month has been for you, so consider this next month a chance for you to really focus on you and get yourself back on track ❤️❤️

@hoola23 I would!! Can't hurt to the chick! 🙂🙂

GemB03 · 20/11/2021 16:55

@plantbasedlondoner sorry lovely. That sucks so much. Hope you're feeling okay 😘

@hoola23 yeah definitely try tomorrow! May as well. I've got DH to do it in the past hungover but he resented me for it 😂🤣

I've got loads more CM than ever before this month! The EPO is really working! 🤞🏼

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 17:00

@CShandy01 @GemB03 the rage inside me right now 🤣🤣🤣 I even test him last night to say FYI you need to be on your a game as we need to have sex during the day. Still he chooses to ignore that. He's just said well do it tonight but I know him, not a chance 🤣

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 17:00

Text not test 🤣

newtolineofduty · 20/11/2021 19:11

@hoola23 I'd be really annoyed about that too!!!!! They just don't get it do they 😢 x

OP posts:
Aims1991 · 20/11/2021 19:20

@hoola23 Aw that sucks! I know how you feel my OH can be awkward at times when he knows we really need to do it. It's like they find it funny 🙄

hoola23 · 20/11/2021 22:23

Ok I'm very very drunk at my DH husbands gig lol he's performing tonight and I've been dancing all night I hope that burns some calories for all the
Wine I've drunk. Defo no chance of a shag tonight so I'm with all the next month cycles. No way I'll get pregnant with this much alcohol in me!
