Wondering if anyone wants a buddy?
I'm ttc #2 (DD 13m)
Just finishing AF and embarking on cycle 2

Come shove 2 fingers to the back of the witch and let's count down to O and POAS psychotically in a few weeks...

I'm going all out this month with SMEP, pressed, EPO, OPKs....

Bfn so doubt it's implantation and a little bit heavier than my last implantation bleed 😟 Oh well, I'm drunk now anyway..!

Yeh - they're fine whilst ttc. I would take them as if it is an infection, you don't want it to get worse as he could get really poorly. If anything, treating infection will prevent possible impact on sperm numbers.

The doctor thinks he's got Epididymitis. He's on about not taking the antibiotics because he's read a few bad things. Would it go by itself?

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 15:06

Haha I wondered about doing that when my time comes minty! I did my last one alone so he said to involve him this time but I don't know if I could the first time!!! Let us know what he says!

Well I don't think they do for everyone. I have read other people saying the same though. But I was ok the month I got pregnant with DS on them. Hopefully last time was a one off!

They think he's got an infection and has been given some tablets but also has to have a scan to make sure there's nothing. They don't think it will show anything though.

Are these ok to TTC on DrMum ? I need to google properly when my iPad has charged!

Thank you Drmum Smile. Not sure how to tell DP, wanted to try and think of something a bit special, a bit different but I'll probably just waft my pissy stick in front of him like I did last time! May wait until morning and do another FRER and pretend that's the first one? Is that too sneaky?

I reckon that you will defo be covered by dtd those days Mmm, definitely! And going to ewcm I think is a good plan. I never knew vitamins could affect your cycle. You learn something new every day! Let us know how your DH gets on.

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 13:52

Definitely not implantation DrMum?!

Haha yeah I did say that. We DTD every day for like 8 days or something and then stopped for 3 weeks so I said I wondered if the lads didn't know whether they were coming or going haha! Soon find out anyway!!!

And yeah, amazing to see a BFP!! It always gives me hope for some reason!

DrMum83 · 02/06/2016 12:58

I've got a bug grin on my face for minty!! Lol!!

DrMum83 · 02/06/2016 12:57

Aaaarrrgghh!! OMG yes!!!! A BFP!!! Congrats minty!! So exciting!!! What a lovely thing just before your hol!! How are you gonna tell DH?! I'm so glad there a bfp on this thread! Feels like we've been here forever. I have a good feeling all will be well, you deserve it!!

AF is very light, just spotting really - not sure what's going on...

Hi to the others!! Not long now til your shagathon malbec! hope the ball situation is shorted, maybe his sperm production is in overdrive and that's why he's aching! Glad timings have worked out for you ohno!!

OP posts:
MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 12:40

That's meant to say nice walk!!!

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 12:39

Sounds like a good plan. Not long to wait at all then! I'd probably not bother with the intense DVD if I was you and just go for a nice instead. Might not do any harm but I don't think I'd risk it?! I have heard good things about that DVD though!!

DH is off to the doctors this afternoon so should know the ball situation in a few hours!! Well we have done every other day since weekend but the proper shagathon will start from Sunday at CD16. Hoping to do 16,18,20,22,24,26 and that should be enough. BUT if I have a vitamin lengthened cycle I will just have to keep going until the EWCM has gone. Will possibly do OPKs from Sunday too which might help. I'll see how I feel anyway! What days did you do?! With DS I OVed on cd22 and we had DTD on 21 and 23, so maybe I'll reassess my above days Hmm , ah I dunno. Will see what happens this afternoon and take it from there!xx

iwillbemrsminty · 02/06/2016 12:25

Thank you Smile. I think I'll do another Saturday morning, when hopefully my lines will have darkened. Plus that's holiday day! Yes I think you're right about telling dp, I'll tell him tonight Grin. He'll be very wary though as it's so early. And we've both been doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred dvd, wonder if I should keep doing it or not? It is quite intense and we are doing level 3 too Hmm may lay off that and go walking instead.

Enough about me now, how's everyone else doing? How far away is your shagathon now Mmm? Any update on the ball issue? Blush. When does your dad arrive Ohno? And I hope you're doing ok Drmum and AF isn't being too much of a bitch. Excited about a fresh cycle for you Smile.

Sending hugs to mimi, hope you are ok xxx

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 12:06

Hmm yeah hard to say minty. To be fair though the midwife will go off your LMP and then your scan will give you a definite date so it doesn't matter too much really I guess!! My DH reckons one of my first symptoms was an emotional breakdown haha! Yeah Father's Day is aaaaaages off, plus not sure how you'd get away without drinking on holiday?! I think it's a bit mean as well, especially if he's worrying a little bit!!

Aw so pleased for you. Will you keep doing the FRERs you have left?!

Yeah I think we are still due some more BFPs this month for sure Grin

iwillbemrsminty · 02/06/2016 09:53

I don't even know why I did it! Ovia says to test in 3 days and says AF due on 10 June. I only had a very very faint line at 12 dpo last time so I hope this is a good sign! I have gone on when I think I ov'd going by my positive opk and then put my last period date into the calculator. My last AF was a strange 1 day one starting on 12th May. Maybe that's something to do with it.

I aren't sure whether to say anything to him or not tonight, what I would have totally loved was to give him a little present on Father's day! But keeping it to myself that long .... Hmm doubt it!

Symptoms, I've been having headaches, prickly and tender boobs but that's about it really. Oh, as my posts from yesterday say, very emotional and weepy, up and down moods. Even dp commented on that on Monday.

ohnonotanother1 · 02/06/2016 09:36

Also did you have any symptoms!?

ohnonotanother1 · 02/06/2016 09:35

Omfg that is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!! We did say we were due some Bfps soon! I have everything crossed and will share some more excitement when I'm not in a mad rush packing to go home while the kid is asleep!

Sqweeee!

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 09:27

Eeek!! When are you planning on telling him?! What made you test a day early?! If you're 9dpo you'll be 3+2 today won't you?

Aw bless him, it is really hard not to think it's your fault but it's clearly just one of those things isn't it, and you've now conceived twice in 5 months is it?! So that's good going!!xx

iwillbemrsminty · 02/06/2016 09:04

I'm going to try!! I haven't even told DP yet as he had already gone to work and I didn't even plan on testing til tomorrow! Ok so now I've got to work and not on the phone app, I've done the calculator things and it reckons I'm 3 weeks exactly and Mini Minty would be due 16th Feb 2017!

It's so ironic, last night DP and I were chatting about how long it might take and due to our age, I said if we havent conceived in the new few months we should go to the doctors! He also asked me what I thought we were doing wrong, bless him! xxx

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 08:13

Yeah, try not to let it stop you from being excited though! I spent so much of my pregnancy feeling worried and it was miserable. Start as you mean to go on!!xx

iwillbemrsminty · 02/06/2016 07:59

Thankyou!!!! Although need to keep a calm head after the chemical. Early days. But. Eeeeeeeeeek! Xxx

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 07:54

Oh actually on second look I can see it on the inverted one clearly as well. Sorry my tired eyes aren't functioning!! Oh I'm so happy for you. I'll perform some kind of sticky bean dance to the fertility gods for you later Grin

MmmMalbec · 02/06/2016 07:53

I can actually see it clearer on the none inverted one!!!!

iwillbemrsminty · 02/06/2016 07:51

It said it hasn't posted so I inverted the pic n tried again now it's posted twice! Oh well!

Shit the bed indeed!! Keep me calm!!!
