Fabulous news @LeopardLover !

Congratulations @LeopardLover ! Great lines- keeping my fingers crossed for you 💕💕

Hey all, hoping I can join?

This was our first month TTC, although not being super strict.. we are getting married in a week so that's taking up most of my spare time at the moment and I don't want to add any extra pressure, but we aren't being careful when DTD.

I am currently CD16, and we DTD on CD11 and yesterday (CD15). I haven't used OPKs this cycle due to not really getting chance with the wedding planning and also just not wanting to put extra pressure on, however I have in the past on a couple of cycles (just for insight and gain a bit more knowledge on my cycle leading up to TTC!) and have noticed my peak is always around CD15-17 and I did have some slight cramping last night and this morning which I can only assume is ovulation!

This is our first month of not being careful when DTD and we're not actively 'trying' as such by OPK testing etc etc, so I'm fully not expecting anything this month, but I just wanted to join in the the thread as it's nice to have people to talk to who are all going through a similar thing!! I also feel like knowing we DTD last night and realising that it was most likely my peak, it's going to be on my mind!!

Also, massive congrats to those on you BFPs and sending lots of baby dust to those trying ✨
Xx

Huge congratulations @LeopardLover! What a beautiful line! Really happy for you both xxx

@rosecbrm hey 👋 and welcome, exciting about your wedding and also having a potential BFP on your mind! Gosh, a lot to think about! All the very best for your big day and also for this cycle,this group is honestly the best. I couldn’t hope got a nicer more inspirational group of women and I’m so glad they have been here to get me through some of the toughest weeks I’ve ever had recently xxx

Welcome @RoseH36 and enjoy the wedding!

Dpo 8 here. Not really tempted to rest apart from getting rid of a bag of baby/ toddler clothes next few days so would keep if bfp! No storage here so make myself keep only sentimental stuff (erm, a lot turns out is sentimental!!)

@LeopardLover congratulations 🎉

Test not rest! Though a rest would be lovely!

Welcome @rosecbrm

@RoseH36 @Angelsrose @Bumblebee413 @Un7breakable Thank you!! I've had lots of cramps today but just going to try and relax a little, if possible 😅

@TrudyProud So lovely to hear from you, how are you getting on?

@Pineappleapple Gosh, I can relate! I barely have any storage but I've kept pretty much everything ha ha. I keep trying to clear things our but can't 😫 I need to give if another go.

How is everyone else in the TWW doing? Trying my best to not get my hopes up but it’s so hard isn’t it 😩

@H0pefull I'm doing ok, not worked iut any dates or anything and trying not to think about it. After past experiences I don't have any hope at all anymore. Hope you're doing ok.

@rosecbrm How exciting you're getting married soon! What type of venue? I think taking a relaxed approach is a great idea. So cute to think you could be on your way to being pregnant on your wedding day! Hope you aren't finding things too stressful x

@rosecbrm welcome! Congrats on your wedding! Hope you have a wonderful day! 🥰

@H0pefull I'm ok thanks lovely. Desperately trying not to overthink everything... 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm not an early tester so it's going to be at least another week and a half before any of that!

Hi ladies. It's been a little while since I've been on. We've been doing some house renovations. I dont know if anyone will remember but I posted about still having a positive test 6 weeks after mmc in April. So it must still have been the pregnancy hormones because I finally got my period and a negative test. But now I know where we stand.

Congratulations @LeopardLover that's wonderful news.

@Stephy1024 glad at least you know where you are up to but that must have been hard.

Did a test today, negative. Too early really. The storage thing is hard really. It took a long time to have our toddler and we told everyone we are once and done as the questions are tough aren't they. But no loft or garage so really can't store stuff. Sold the high chair, jumperoo gone. So if we did have another it would probably look like an accident! Couldn't work out what to do for a while so just gone for keeping sentimental as much as I can.
Fertility appointment has come through.
Glad to be able to say stuff on here, no one knows irl. Except OH! He kind of has to!!

@Pineappleapple I'm glad your appointment has come through, hope you don't have long to wait.

@Stephy1024 thats good your body is getting back to normal though so you can start trying again when you're ready.

@SnookyPook you're good not being an early tester! Last time was the longest I've held off, think I got to 13dpo before I caved

@Pineappleapple I do and its kind of nice to feel a little back to normal and not be worrying what's going on.

@RoseH36 it is. I really wasn't expecting it to be such a long process. But it was my first loss so I didn't really know what to expect. The thought of becoming pregnant again makes me nervous.
