Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Nicky my app has always said AF is due on Monday 27th, it didn't alter it when I put my positive opk in for last Wednesday and Thursday. So I'm not expecting AF on Monday but counting 14 days and going for Thursday 30th. Hoping it won't be coming at all though!!!! Fxd!!!! Are you testing on Monday then??? x

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 20:13

sparkle...sorry chick looks like we're going to be on different days for testing Sad Sad I will still virtually be there to hold your hand.xx

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 20:03

Yes Issie preseed has good reviews. I've just ordered some to try this cycle :)

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 20:02

Nicky I'd wait until 14dpo just to be on the safe side, before testing.

Issie339 · 21/04/2015 19:53

Oh same as Conceive Plus then- got to be worth a try!

Hmm Nicky sounds like AF might be due Monday then. If you know when you ov I'd probably base it on this and go +14 days rather than trust the app.

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 19:40

Friday I will be cd 24 and dpo 11....I'm not sure why app has calculated so soon x

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 19:37

Ooh the things you can buy lol...may have to have a look out for these. Grin Grin

I'm really confused now as when to test. I've got ovia app and it's saying AF due Friday but ov was later then expected on there too and because it's first cycle in 5 years I'm a bit.confused...

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 19:30

Pre seed is a ttc friendly lube too, it helps create a lovely environment for the spermies lol alot of women have conceived the first time they're used it Smile

Issie339 · 21/04/2015 19:13

Nicky I don't know what pre-seed is either! Brooke, enlighten us!

Conceive Plus is a lube that is supposed to aid conception, think it helps the sperm.

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 19:08

I have no idea what you ladies are talking about lol...what's pre-seed or concieve plus???

sorry now I'm being dense!! Grin Grin

Issie339 · 21/04/2015 18:53

Absolutely! Got to keep moving forwards Grin I'm thinking positively and May is going to be my month.

Is Conceive Plus a pre-seed? Sorry if I'm being dense, I haven't heard that term before.

Low iron Brooke, you must be feeling really drained Sad are you taking supplements now?

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 17:30

Oh my gosh Issie you've worked out your edd already lol Grin I can't even tell the difference between caffeine free now I've had it for so long. Ice not heard of conceive plus, but I'm thinking in investing in pre-seed.

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 17:25

I'm trying to conceive dc3 too nicky my weight concerns me alot, I Need to diet seriously :( I'm trying though, not having an easy time, had blood tests the other day to check my thyroid to.see if that has anything to do with my weight gain, it didn't, but my iron levels are seriously low :(

Issie339 · 21/04/2015 17:24

The thought of coffee is the only thing that gets me out of bed some mornings, haha (kind of joking but kind of not!!) but if it means getting that BFP I'll give it a go.

Has anyone tried or heard good things about Conceive Plus?

By way of positive thoughts Brooke, if I get my bfp next month my EDD will be 30th Jan Grin

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 17:06

Yes brooke I'm ttc #3... (I must be mad) I am seriously overweight but it's how I've always been and at 6 ft 1 I seem to get away with it a bit which is why I don't. think it bothers me too much... I should try to cut down tho as the.chocolate and me have a seriously good relationship!! xx

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 17:02

Oh I have no caffeine troubles here I'm.afraid, as I have to have decaff here :( I am overweight at the moment though, due to housemove, new job and general laziness, am trying to get back into.healthy eat mode as need to realistically lose around 3 stone :( I'm.seriously blaming my.weight on not conceiving easily this time around, as I.was young and slim when we had dc1.

Brooke113 · 21/04/2015 16:56

Nothing to report from.me. I'm.Cd2 and counting down the days until I can use my ov sticks again :)

Looking forward to reading some positive posts soon :)

So nicky you're trying for dc3 aren't you? What about you Sparkles? Sorry if you've said recently, I'm.on my phone and it takes me ages to scroll through Grin

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 12:07

I'm cd 21 and dpo 8 so is Friday too early for me?? I'm just going on the app I downloaded and as it's first cycle after coil removal I'm just not sure what to do now..

sparkles you do make me laugh Smile Smile .

violet maybe with a sensitive one yes...

someone has to get a BFP soon....fx xx

sparklesandfizz · 21/04/2015 11:19

Waiting for Af requires patience I don't have hey ho!

sparklesandfizz · 21/04/2015 11:17

I'm completely symptom free but not panicking (much!) ?? Cd 24 today DPO 12 I think. Usually 28 - 30 day cycles but month #1 and hadn't given cycle much thought before hasty ttc decision.

Violet - Sunday may be ok with sensitive test eg frer
Am trying to stay calm and collected and resist stockpiling tests of differing sensitivities.

Testing too early induces madness, grief and empty pockets as the temptation following BFN is to retest daily until af shows or BFP and pissy sticks not cheap.

Also think I actually prefer arrival of af to signal I'm out rather than the exciting but ultimately soul destroying 5 min heart pounding wait for the line appear.....great if BFP BUT just devastating if BFN. Af annoying but gentler somehow.

Having said that I have an appointment with miss Nicky Friday early doors and am nervous just thinking about it.

Thankyou lovely ladies for bestwishing Mr S on his job quest, have just packed him off with shiny shoes and instructions to relax and smile. Fx

VioletIbiza88 · 21/04/2015 10:49

Nicky, no symptoms doesn't mean anything, we shall both have to wait and see. When are u testing?:-) x

VioletIbiza88 · 21/04/2015 10:47

Well no more stomach pains yet today. In symptom spotting news I was acutely aware of someone's breath in a meeting today, but I guess they could just have had really bad breath!!!

Nicky are you managing to stay away from those tests? I'm thinking of testing on Sunday with a frer, i will be 10dpo on Sunday, is that too early?? I don't want to do it on Monday an then have to go to work if its not the news I want.

Hope everyones having a good day x

nickynackynoo31 · 21/04/2015 10:45

good luck Mr sparkles ..

I have no symptoms today so I'm feeling it's not my time either Sad Sad .
trying to keep busy so as not to think about it but it's so hard xx

Issie339 · 21/04/2015 09:52

I know you're right Sparkles, it's just not what I want to hear haha. I've cut down to 1 a day but after AF this time I think I'll try cutting it out altogether.

massive sigh

Eek, keep us updated on how Mr Sparkles gets on!!

sparklesandfizz · 21/04/2015 09:20

Just today aaarrrggh!
I'm a crazy tea drinker but I think the coffee addicts have it harder.
Said to help with ttc if you can do it issie.
I've always naturally become really tea and coffee averse once pregnant.
