an app for tracking your periods might be helpful as well as the OPK sticks. When trying for our first I used the ones with a flashy or still smiley and that helped :) I tracked from cd 5 with cheapies then I used the expensive ones closer to when I thought I would get a positive :)
Does anyone have suggestions for YouTube workouts for cardio?? Thanks :) xx
I didn't ovulate till about day 17 this cycle, I'd start testing from day 10 as I've been known to ovulate day 12. I actually got my positive first thing in the am which they say isnt the best time to test as it's synthesised in the evening or something. Try not to wee in the 2 hrs before or drink anything. So maybe do first thing and mid afternoon/evening.

1 hr done on TM and just had left over veg and a packet of minstrels for dinner.
We're trying next cycle which will be end of April with one attempt at positive OPK, I track my cycle with a Clearblue fertility monitor and ovulate around day 10, so have quite short cycles.
Search for Zumba- Latin dance. It's great! I do this with my boys on a rainy day or when they are driving me nuts, haha! There are several to choose from that are 50-60min. You can also search for walk away the pounds, but I prefer Zumba.Quote:

Hi ladies! I've been reading your journey's all along, and you're all doing such a great job!
I've started the exercise as part of my second pink sway. I walk wearing my DS3 (he's 16lbs at 4mo [emoji51]) in a front carrier while pushing my DS2 in a stroller for 60min after walking DS1 to school. We also walk to pick him up, so I get about 80-90min of cardio a day M-F. On weekends I do what I want or just play with my boys outside or at a park.
I'm still breastfeeding my DS3 quite a bit but only once in the middle of the night.
We won't have our first attempt until May most likely, unless I pull a fast one on my DH, haha! He's still a little gun shy about a 4th, but he knows how much it means to me. No matter what he says, he loves trying for one, haha! He's also used to BDing every 4 days so we will just keep that up.
I'll post every now and then as I can get a bit obsessed/competitive. Exercising while breastfeeding has really changed my personality a bunch, but I know my tendencies, haha! I'll leave the temping and opks alone this time!

Girls, wow! Thank you for all your replies. Ok, so I will start testing on Cd10 due to my short cycles. If I can't get my head around things, I will take the E4D route.
Anyone recommend which OPKs to use? Will ask the lovely ladies (including you xxforhubby, thank you hun) over in the thread I started about this too.
Mulberry Smurf, which app would you recommend? Sounds like something that will get me organised!
Just seen your reply in the other thread xxforhubby. Will go for cd8 due to my short cycles. Thank you
I like Wondfo or Babi Internet cheapies and the CBD with smiley (pink ones) NOT the CBD advanced with flashing smiley (purple ones). The advanced seems to cause problems for people.Quote:

xxforhubby thank you so much for your useful reply-I will get on it tonight!
As this is supposed to be an exercise motivation discussion :wink: I will also add that I did 8 miles on the TM last night which apparently burnt 1000 calories. That was my best effort yet. Sooooo annoyed with myself that I celebrated with some Easter Egg and a glass of wine. Two steps forward...three steps back :prof:
Hey, we must celebrate the victories otherwise we will never win! You're doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!
I think I did too much yesterday. I did my 60min while wearing DS3 and pushing DS2 in a stroller. Plus, we walked again for 24min to get DS1 to and from school. Then I did loads of housework. I either need to stick to the 60min and housework or 60min and additional cardio, not both. Plus, I may need to eat more if I'm going to do extra exercise. I think I would've been ok had I eaten more.
On a positive note, I've lost another 2.8 lbs for a total of 5.8! Only 16.2 to go!!!
