The positive thing about the cheapies are your able to test through out the day. They are cheap and you have multiple tests your able to use, especially if your a serial tester lol. The cheapies work better with afternoon urine.
Anyone Ttc anytime soon?
CD 1 starts next week for me, trying to be very calm and just taking each day as it comes. I find the best way and the MOST hardest way is to keep calm and relaxed. I’m really trying to be so relaxed and natural about this entire ttc business lol. Really don’t want to stress myself and DH out. I can be very very very regimental about things and what things to be done in a particular order.
Hopefully I’ll be done with AF by 26th December! And start my attempts.

You are right! Sometimes with cheap sticks I get confused as they look the same.
i have been temping along with the sticks , and it was all ok until last month. I totally got lost last month and was very confused. Lol especially when I couldn't temp fir few days.
I have been trying not to think too much about sway, try and stay calm but i even get dreams about pregnancy.. gender etc. Lol.. And then its keeping coming back to me and I get anxious and worried lol .

I’m on CD 1 today of our first TTC cycle. We’ve been saying we’ll start trying in December since June so I can’t believe it’s actually here! Ahh! Lol I’ve been trying to keep up with calorie/protein intake and exercising so hopefully it’s enough. My period should be done on the 18th so we’ll start attempts after that. I’m supposed to ovulate a couple days after Christmas so I’ll make sure to eat a lot of Christmas dinner too. Lol

Good luck!
I am CD11 today and I expect ovulation on day 16(19th December) or Cd19(22 December)
I am not sure if I am really good to go with the diet and supplements!! I have a daughter and I am trying for a boy (My husband is not aware since he prefers another girl), but if We get another girl we will be happy too.
I am just lucky in a way that he has high sex drive so he will go every night if I want him to do so.

I usually put some raisin or dried apricots in a plastic bag and carry with me and try to remind myself to eat some during the day. its very healthy and high calorie.

I have the same problem with snacks. I was so used to eat just the meal and no snacks. I was also eating when i am really hungry, I wait until i get very hungry. I wasn't snacking either. Its all new to me and I have to remind myself to snack something before i feel very hungry. It is hard but I am tryinf everything I can

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know how alcohol sways? I plan to have my attempts in February or March but I have already started with as supplements and trying with exercising (I have been very unmotivated recently). I wonder if having alcohol during this festive season will affect my sway.

Hi!
We’ve been TTC since October. I’m ovulating today, so we’ll see if it happens this month. I feel more confident about this month because my husband was working away from home for the past few months but he’s home now.

I’m pretty sure that alcohol sways pink. That’s been one of our challenges. We have cut down a lot but we like to relax and have a few-ish drinks on weekends. Lol

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
