Hi, hope you lot don't mind me dropping in.
I started a thread with this but I don't think anyone is likely to click on it.
I have just finished this:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001v4dd?origin=share-mobile&partner=uk.co.bbc
And it was SO good, I would have absolutely loved it when I was TTC, so thought some of you might also find it really interesting and wanted to share it with you.

If you try it I hope you enjoy it. I thought it was excellent.

Thank you for this recommendation, I've listened to ep 1 and it's great

@Harriet1989 yay, glad you think so. Too good not to share. ☺️

KT199 · 31/10/2024 06:14

Morning ladies ✨
Trying to keep abit more positive today, regardless of outcome this month.. it’ll be my turn eventually, one way or another.
Last day in work before my weekend and we booked a holiday last night for January. It least I have something else to now look forward to and think about!

How is everyone doing today?

Lila34830 · 31/10/2024 06:18

Morning @KT199 ! I'm glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better, super exciting for the holiday ! We are planning on doing the same!
I am now almost at my peak LH, which I think I'll reach this afternoon so we DTD yesterday and will DTD tonight, my husband has been a trooper 🤣
I'm looking forward to the weekend, the change of hour has been tiring !

Morning @Lila34830 and @KT199 !! Having a holiday booked sounds amazing!! Something to look forward too! I always find when I get to January I'm so exhausted from December it's nice to have some time off that month!
@Lila34830 so glad your reaching your peak!! It's all so tiring isn't it!!!

I'm counting down to the weekend to have a break from work 😂😂😂

Morning girl ! How many dpo are you ??
Omg I know, I think a January holiday is a mood booster !
And re the lh I'm deffo reassured but I don't have much EWCM so idk if it matters much or not 😭

slothbat · 31/10/2024 07:17

@Lila34830 I'm good thanks! I'm 8DPO today! To be honest I never get loads of EWCM either! I get a little bit but not loads!
I was reading the posts yesterday and for the ladies who are tempting I salute you! That sounds like a whole other level which I don't think I'd have the patience for 😂😂😂😂 I'm drained from POAS! Xx

QuirkyPiglet · 31/10/2024 07:42

Good morning. Hope everyone is feeling ok today. I’ve woken with a headache, I think having vivid dreams all night has worn me out 😂

lils94x · 31/10/2024 07:43

Hiii sorry can anyone see a line? 🙈 I know I can in real life but no one else can it's driving me crazy haha xx

Makes me feel better ! I was reading some girls don't get any so I guess I'm not gonna get hung up on it !
Are you planning on waiting until af is due ? Or testing this weekend ?
Omg idk if I told you I received my thermometer ready for next cycle 😂😂😂 I'll let you know how tedious it is. May as well, after all I've been peeing in a cup for 23 days in a row 🤣🤣🤣

Hi lovely ! How many dpo are you ?

OP posts:
slothbat · 31/10/2024 07:49

@Lila34830 you've been a soldier this month POAS for so long! Yes let me know how you get on and how easy it is!!
I'm not sure may test Sunday which would be 11DPO but not sure?! It's strange as do I want the disappointment early? 😂😂

QuirkyPiglet · 31/10/2024 07:53

@Lila34830 i didn’t do ovulation tests this month so it’s just predicted by my Fitbit , 6dpo

we must be pretty synced, I haven’t got the hang of testing and LH etc yet but I think I am 7DPO and it’s my birthday tomorrow, going to London for the weekend. I am SO tempted to take tests to check each day haha but also don’t want to be too down about it if not. When I got pregnant last time (MC) I wasn’t doing any tracking and didn’t realise until I missed my period so in my head I feel like I should have better odds this time due to DTD so much around ovulation but obviously it doesn’t always work like that 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Lila34830 · 31/10/2024 08:03

@slothbat let me tell you that next cycle I will only start testing around cd15! No point before ! Unless I spot CM !

@QuirkyPiglet oh right ! Good luck !!

@HE93C sorry to hear about your MC ! If I were you (so easier said than done!!) I would enjoy the weekend and not test ( so hard not to cave though but 7dpo is really early !)

OP posts:
slothbat · 31/10/2024 08:12

@HE93C Aww yeah we are the same! Yeah it's hard to know what to do! I'm so pleased this week has been busy at work so its actually going really quick! How are you feeling? Have you got any symptoms?

HE93C · 31/10/2024 08:27

Erm I don’t think I’ve any symptoms. Occasionally I feel like I can feel a slight pull/minor cramp on the left side and I have been a bit tired but then I’m not sure what’s real and what’s in my head.

Plus when I was pregnant before I didn’t really notice anything other than tiredness until I found out I was pregnant, although that was twins when we had the MC so maybe the tiredness would have been more noticeable then due to the extra hormones etc.

basically I’ve no clue 😂 have you had any?

slothbat · 31/10/2024 08:39

@HE93C nope nothing at all 😂😂😂 havent had any symptoms other than being tired but that's normal for me a week before my AF is due xxx

True! I’m not due until Thursday so will try wait a bit longer to test but who knows if I’ll make it that far! Good luck with yours! Let us know xxx

littlebluu · 31/10/2024 08:56

Good Morning all 👋

All of these holidays sound exciting! I'm jealous.

Good luck to all of those in the swing of tww! I'm counting myself out, I have miscalculated and turns out im actually 11dpo and not 10dpo, tested this morning and still stark white.

I'll probably just be in the background doing my nosey until it's time to start OPK again.

Sending lots of luck

Hi 👋🏽 @littlebluu , so sorry to hear about your BFN, your time will come 🩷
I'm not sure whether I should start another thread for next cycle ? I feel like there's a limit of messages per thread but not sure how many !!

I think you get like 40 pages which equates to like 1000 posts or something like that! If you do start a new thread be sure to tag me 😁😁

Lila34830 · 31/10/2024 10:14

@littlebluu of course ! But I think we got a while yet, we're halfway there! I'd say at the end of next cycle ! 😅
