With my first MMC, I was due on NYE. I always thought it would be super fun to have a baby then - the kid would have the best birthdays as everyone would be out celebrating with them! Never had any issues about a Dec baby myself, I'd take anything!

😂😂 'shut up MrsGrealish' 😘 I've had a day of it if that's any excuse 🙈

You guys, I put my son down to sleep in his big boy toddler bed for the first time tonight. We were expecting a lot of up and down but he just... fell asleep 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I'm not sure what to do with myself now 🤔 What a super star 🥰

@TheBirdintheCave 🙌🙌 that's an achievement girl! Mine NEVER got into the toddler bed

My first mc was due 16th dec I'd take anything 😂 no way I'm skipping any cycles

@TheBirdintheCave that's awesome I'm not letting mine out his cage anytime soon 😂

@TheBirdintheCave DD was the worst tbf she loved the cot. DS2 I lay on the floor beside him till he fell asleep. DS1 (poor child) learned to settle himself early on.

Mine is a giant (his dad is 6'5") and decided that he was going to just climb out of the cot if he wasn't sleepy so he kind of forced our hand 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@TheBirdintheCave you're lucky! Mine started climbing out of her cot at 2 years, she's now in with us every night. I don't know how people keep their kids in their own beds at night! She's just fallen asleep next to me in our bed 🤦‍♀️

@bringmearainbow keep him in the cage!!!

@curliegirlie how are you holding up lovely ? Xx

@bunnykins123 he's staying firmly in there until it's no longer possible 😂

@TheBirdintheCave how's your temp today?

I am 100% broken 😂 EWCM this morning and another temp drop.

@TheBirdintheCave 😂 oh bloody hell 🙈 though saying that I sometimes get random dips in my LP but not ewcm 🤔 it's very strange. Are you having normal LP symptoms?

@bringmearainbow Just sore boobs which is normally a good indicator that I've ovulated. I am utterly baffled 🙄

@TheBirdintheCave I think you have sore boobs is a good sign and this would be quite late for you to ovulate wouldn't it? How are you sleeping? Last month at about 4dpo I got really watery but with a slight creamy twinge to it if it wasn't for the creamy bit I would have said it was fertile cm. I got that for a couple of days. Is it proper stretchy eggy stuff you're getting?

@TheBirdintheCave that's really confusing. When you say EWCM is it like the clear, actual egg white stuff or cloudy but has a bit of stretch? I sometimes found I had the latter in the 2nd stage and this (I read up on it before) is because there is a estrogen surge in the 2nd phase of your luteal phase.

@bringmearainbow @bunnykins123 It does seem to be EWCM, it's clear and stretches without breaking. There's nowhere near the amount I got at CD10 though.

Maybe Premom was right and I am in the second half of the luteal phase? 🤷🏻‍♀️ It reckons I'm 6dpo.

@TheBirdintheCave that looks like a frustrating chart, but it could just be a loopy cycle - I ovulated on CD24 on the cycle I conceived DD2!

Feeling a bit down today, it was exactly a year ago that I learned I was pregnant (and had 4 days to get used to the idea before I started bleeding, but then had the head fuck of positive tests for a further 3 weeks).

I went a bit crazy last week and used up all my pregnancy tests silly early, even though I'm only just 10dpo today! I've got some more tests coming tomorrow, even though I'm 99% certain I'm out...DTD 24 hours after the positive OPK just isn't going to cut it really, is it?! Maybe once I can get get past this next few days I'll start feeling a bit better....

@curliegirlie I guess I'll find out at some point 😅 All the uncertainty is just irritating.

Never count yourself out until AF arrives. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hey ladies well my watch hasnt been so good this cycle for post ovulation temping. It's still showing about the same as before ovulation. I took my bbt the last couple of mornings and they are in my normal range of LP temps so I know I def have O. Interestingly the last 2 times I've ovulated I've had so many symptoms from the off but so far I've got nothing but sore boobs which is a lot more normal for me so I think maybe everything's settled down a bit back to normal which is a relief if it has 🤞🏼

@bringmearainbow Interesting that the watch doesn't pick up the change but the BBT thermometer does.

I'm glad this cycle seems more normal for you :D At last!

Nothing to report here, temps still low, boobs still sore (though they're not getting any worse). Just want AF to get here now so I can hopefully have a normal cycle for the last go 🙏

@TheBirdintheCave strangely the watch picked it up fine last cycle so weird 🤷🏼‍♀️ never mind. My AF due Sat or Sunday thankfully I have a busy week so I'm hoping it goes really quick and new one can start coz I very very much doubt any spermies survived 🙄

When do you think AF might arrive?

According to Premom the 13th so I think I'll test then if nothing happens but I'm not expecting any miracles here either 😂

Still got EWCM (more than yesterday) so I think we'll dtd tonight just in case. O test is the lightest it's ever been. My body is so confused.

@TheBirdintheCave this premom app is messing with me this month too..but coz I only DTD once over fertile window I did the thing that means jinxing a cycle and worked out a due date. Which is November. But DH agreed to the end of the year so I have him agreed to another cycle on a technicality 😅

I've had such random readings and cm so you aren't alone 🙄
