Welcome pm04gn

That sperm meets egg plan sounds really good. Still wading through the books I got, if anyone wants them when I've finished please let me know.

CD16 today. I really don't think I've caught this month but we will see in 12 days!

Thanks for the welcome!
Sperm meets egg is very short. Only 60 pages on my iPad mini and the text is not small!

Hello ladies. Welcome to any new ones!
Hugs to everyone that needs one and fingers crossed for those that are still in the game.

No news here as such, given I don't even know if I ovulated, I'm guessing i'm about 14 DPO according to when I should have done. All the symptoms are still there (getting worse) I've even brought ginger tea to settle the nausea today.
Have given in and tested - bfn - but something tells me I'm not out yet.. I know no-ones out til AF arrives, but I really do feel that something is happening in there! If it's not - my body has a LOT of explaining to do!!

Will test again on Tuesday, then again on Thursday/Friday if necessary - by which time AF should have made her appearance...

We shall see.

Hugs & babydust to all xx

Morning everyone,

Welcome pm04gn :hello:
I'm only 4 dpo but feeling like I'm out already I know it's too early to tell but have been getting some spots on my face and I always get this before AF so been feeling a little pessimistic.

cherrylips - that sounds positive. Fingers crossed for your BFP.

Morning!

Cherrylips I am in exactly the same position, bfn's but Af is late and I really feel something is happening, if I'm not pregnant then I'm genuinely concerned for myself as I've had nausea and exhaustion for about a week now, so if I'm not.. then what is wrong with me?!

Welcome pn40gm, I've read smep, quite interesting, it's gonna be our plan next month if Af arrives.

Whizzypop I'll join you on the step, I'll bring the tea if I can knick a few biccies!

Bobley & Cherrylips get yourself to the doctors if she doesn't arrive this week.

Blueneleh I feel your sadness, I'm 3dpo (I think?) and all of my spots are going away, I have a horrible pain in my hip and back, I've got cramps (but not like AF cramps) and I've been feeling really thirsty today. I feel totally different to last cycle but I haven't a clue if I've caught.

I tell you one thing I've worked out - I think around ovulation my sex drive increases as I've been absolutely mad for 4 days now! :rotfl:

gloomy monday hugs to all!

Hi all can I be updated to CD3 please? Weird AF for me - relatively light like normal but killer cramps on Saturday, felt completely different to my normal AF.

Staying positive - almost pretending it's our first month TTC to keep excited about it! Also, bought some preseed which I'm inordinately looking forward to using. Anyone here trying it?

Hugs to all!

Funny you should mention that Claire, I bought balanceActive fertility spray (I think it's conceive+ replacement in boots) this morning. Just by chance saw it on offer. I'm supposed to be on peak fertility week, but haven't noticed any of the necessary CM when checking, so I thought a little lube wouldn't go amiss. I didn't see preseed in the chemist as thats the only one I've heard of, but thinking on it, I'd be worried it came with applicators and would take away some of the fun when dtd ?

Things feel a little off schedule for me this month when comparing my signs with what FF / my apps say should be happening. Will try another opk this afty.

ETA: negative opk when FF says ovulation day is tomorrow. Confused.

Well I try and shield my OH from the er, less romantic side of TTC as much as possible, so although I've told him I've bought it I'll leave the applicator part out! I figure I'll just do that bit as a secret 15 mins or so beforehand, but have the tube nearby for him. Definitely less spontaneous for me, but it'll only during my fertile week. Let us know how the balance active spray goes!

Fingers crossed things settle down for you this week & everything happens on schedule

Hey guys. Starting to think I should maybe be using opks cos guessing is getting annoying!! Had what I think was ewcm on Thursday (cd12 of 29 day cycle). It was the most ewcm I have seen since coming off the pill in June. I quickly bd'ed without telling oh cos didn't want him to get nervous! Bd'ed again on Friday. Took a tummy bug and was in bed all day Saturday! �� but bd'ed last night again. Really wondering if Thursday was my day as haven't seen cm like it since coming of my pill. But is this possible on a 29 day cycle! Not knowing is quite annoying!! But then don't want opk to put too much pressure on! Also concerned my tummy bug may have had an impact on chances?? Ie dehydration etc?? On a positive note my work colleague who I haven't seen in a couple of weeks thinks I've lost weight!! So not eating much for 2 days has done some good lol!
