@Baby3herewego congrats! Goodluck with sticky bean x

@mamazac goodluck with a darker line I hope it sticks for you x

CD14 for me and I think I've hit my peak now with OPK. Hoping dh won't be too hot and tired tonight as we didn't DTD last night so could do with next few nights. I'm excited for tww! Woop woop!

Thank you @BellaTheDarkOverlord x

In the UK you would still be entitled to MA which is like SMP but you don't get the 90% pay for the first 6 weeks you get the SMP rate instead. But if you timed moving jobs well you only have to be not fall pregnant within the first 2 weeks, then you qualify for SMP anyway. Obviously you may be entitled to enhanced maternity in your job that I can't comment on.

Feeling you on wanting to test. Why do the DPOs go so slow?! I feel like I should be 14dpo by now not 5!

@Baby3herewego massive congratulations!!! Hope you have a safe and healthy 9 months. Did you do anything differently? I am losing patience!! My app said something about taking red clover and it maybe helping with more cm? Has anyone tried it?

@Purple29 thank you so much! Didn’t do anything differently. BD’d every day from CD 8 to 16 and then every other day till CD 23 ( definitely over kill but it worked )

It was also our first month trying.

@hevann totally know what you mean, covid really showed whether different employers cared about their staff or not.

I think my fertile window starts on Friday (cd 10), I will probably starting doing OPKs then. Ov predicted on Weds 27th at the moment. I'm trying to eat really healthily this cycle although not sure that will help 😂

I saw somewhere on mumsnet that having covid can affect sperm quality for 3 months. Whether that is true or not I don't know, but I definitely had covid in April and so did my husband 😶 so if it has had an impact hopefully that is behind us now.

@Baby3herewego congratulations!! Xxxxx

@Baby3herewego massive congratulations 🥳 here's to a happy healthy 9 months xx

@Shiny88 @Salpforyou thank you ladies!!! I told the hubby last night ( wanted to hold off till his birthday tomorrow but I couldn’t ) we’re both over the moon.

@My2boysaremyworld How's your tooth pain doing? Any better?

CD15 today and perhaps ovulation day or 1DPO. Couldn't DTD last night. It was too hot and I had to sleep 😪Hopefully I haven't missed my chance.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord it's not too bad thank you. Just annoying me xx

Woke up feeling a bit sick but sure it's just the heat plus had a bad sleep xx

@My2boysaremyworld Hope it keeps healing x how many dpo are you now? The heat was bad last night, our house did not cool down even when it cooled outside. Looks like rain tonight which is welcome.

Hi ladies! Sorry I had a few days out to try to manage my own expectations for AF again this cycle. So I now expect AF to come and it's fine. Currently 3/4dpo, absolutely no symptoms at all. Nice temp rise today so progesterone rising which makes me feel better knowing my body is normal regardless of pregnancy. Hoping for a BFP but preparing for a BFN!

Sorry to hear how your feeling @hevann @LucyLoopyLu ! Screw work ladies, mental health and having a baby is way more important than people at work!!

How is everyone else??

Congrats on the BFPs!

Thinking of all you ladies in the same boat!!!

@BellaTheDarkOverlord 4 or 5 DPO depending which app I look at. I didn't track this cycle so not sure if or when I ovulated.
Just fed up of mouth pain etc now xx

Yes hope it rains cuz I'm at work tonight and if it's bad they call off the racing lol xx

@Angie2018 hope your being kind to yourself? I'm 4 or 5 DPO and not feeling much I don't think. Got a bit of cramping and felt a bit sick this morning but think that's just the heat! Got no tender boobs this cycle so far🤷🏻‍♀️xx

@BellaTheDarkOverlord been trying to salt water rinse my mouth and keep heaving cuz of the heat!! Will try more today now it's cooled down xx

@Angie2018 I agree. Work can take a back seat 😁

@My2boysaremyworld Goodluck! I hope these are good symptoms for you then. I'm not sure whether I'm ovulating or not today. I will do an OPK later and check if I passed my peak. I couldn't dtd last night which I'm sad about. Haven't dtd since Sunday. Feel like I'm wasting this month if I'm honest. I really hope I get BFP as I know I'll blame missing last night if I don't.

@Baby3herewego huge congratulations and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

6DPO today!

Slight dragging feeling in my lower abdomen and lower backache but not much other than that

Thank you @kizzy97 I had quite a big of backache on 6DPO. Fingers crossed for you x

@BellaTheDarkOverlord we only managed to DTD twice this cycle and I think we passed ovulation on one of them. Xx

@My2boysaremyworld OPK today is negative so peaked yesterday. I hope to DTD tonight at least. I'm hoping I don't miss it. The heat has messed up our SMEP plan as I'm too tired and warm 😁Today I'll call ovulation day so tomorrow will be 1DPO.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord yeah the heat affected us too. Fingers crossed you catch it xx

@My2boysaremyworld I mean today is a better day so I am not torturing myself as normal! I've decided until 6dpo at the very earliest I can't symptom spot or acknowledge anything until implantation is even possible or I will just be even more sad each month! Xx
