Bettysausage safe home!!

Cakes - I hope your dtd fulfils his responsibilities tonight ;)

Lol at the pre seed! I don't have the crying / laughing emoticon?! But I am laughing/crying!!

Sarah no no no! I thought we would get a hat trick on 3/3! :( Salem sorry to hear your news too :( but one month closer ladies :)

We did loads of new stuff this month (and said if we got our bfp we wouldn't know which one it was lol!):

• started smep and dtd cd8,10,12 then missed 14 and 16 cos I was away but did 17,18 (and 19 I think). I think this definitely kept the doreens turning over and looking at the calculators I think I ov on day 17 so i tbink we just caught it!
• oh read somewhere that I need to orgasm twice as this helps the doreens (wasn't new this month but we made sure we got them in before the doreens were released!)
• I drank 2 x raspberry leaf tea every day from cd3 to cd14 (1 1st thing and 1 after dinner) - helps the egg stick apparently
• we started taking the tesco conception support duo vitamins
• we used conceive plus

Oh thinks is was the conceive plus. I think it was a combination! He's also convinced that the number 23 has something to do with it - he lives by this number (we nearly didn't buy our house as it wasn't no23!) So today's date 3+3+17=23 and our due date is 12 November so 12+11=23.

Also we dtd last thing at night, probably averages about 20 mins (haven't got the stamina for any longer haha!) and then I put bum up under 4 x pillows probably for at least half an hour (sometimes more depending on what time it was / how tired I was) then ease them out and go to sleep (without going to the loo - bit icky but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make!)

Feel funny tonight... hope it's not bad funny and is instead a stowaway funny

Are clear blues good? I thought I had a FR in the cupboard but it's two clear blue digitals

thank you @dolly #nosuchthingasTMI

most definitely not a fluke. will you do a CB digital pg test to get your "1-2-3 weeks" reading? x

Ha ha Rose you were definitely sold a dud there!!! 😂 Xx

Awww sarah sorry for the BFN! Let's hope for next cycle!
bella ask away!! I always used to love when people would give tips or info about what they did in the month they conceived! Gave me hope and new ideas!
This cycle, I used OPKs as I did the previous cycle. I'd been following the SMEP plan but didn't start until CD9 instead of 8 so DTD CD9, 11, 13, got my positive line on CD 14 in the evening so made sure I DTD in the morning of CD15 and then again at nighttime of CD16 so we did do it two days on the trot but cos of the timings of the day, it was almost like every second day still? Which I fully believe is better than every day (for us!)
I also used the preseed on CD13, 15, & 16. 2mls and lay in my bed for 20mins afterwards. Still leaked like hell afterwards and next morning sorry TMI
We didn't DTD after CD16 for ages, prob until CD 20!
Symptoms wise, I'd been cramping since ovulation really, became really bloated as I was so constipated! Felt slightly nauseous at times but nowhere near as much as I have done before AF. Increased creamy CM and no spotting at all. My boobs have never hurt or enlarged and I haven't been too tired or too moody. So far....
I can almost convince myself that BFP was a fluke....

@lala i live about 15 miles outside glasgow city centre. the ayrshire coast is lovely. i'm love a wee day trip to Edinburgh too.

iv been on the road since 2.30pm and still about an hour from home 😫

hope you're all enjoying your friday night #welljel

Haha Sarah some guy spread that all over my lawn last spring and i'm still not pregnant?!, do you think I should ask for a refund?

good luck at star bucks bettysausage!

Crossing my fingers for bfps tomorrow!
Night all

Goodnight ladies! Hope we get some more BFP's tomorrow xxx

Bella where in Scotland are you from? My family is originally from Ayrshire but I got engaged in Edinburgh.

🎶 sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your name 🎶

#Bellsage #starbuckssaga

Ahhhhh ok. Thank you ladies. We've been DTD every day/ every other day if we have a minute. In other words it's not been very scientific we just start from when AF buggers off and fit it in around when the midget is asleep 😆

@cakes is your DH too tipsy for DTD? my DH irritates the life out of my if he's merry and i'm sober! i try to avoid this at all costs by ensuring i'm normally drinker than him at all times 😂. hope you don't miss a DTD xx

Haha Sara!! That tickled me!!

Lala it's worth a google but basically you dtd every other day from cd8. Start opks from cd10 then when you get you're peak dtd every day for 3 days(or 4??), day off, then one more dtd for good luck

hahahaha @sarahb 😂 that's a big bag - lets go halfers

@lala i haven't googled SMEP fully but from what these lovely ladies have said it's a case of DTD every 2 days from CD8 then when you get OVpeak you DTD every day for 3 days, then miss a day and do 1 DTD for luck - i think iv got that right??

What is SMEP? As in what do we do special for it? (I know what the acronym is)

Just googled it, this is it right??!! 😂 Xx

I might even get some of this preseed stuff, sounds like magic!!

#allthedetails #dontmindus #missionupduff

@sarahb i'm glad you said that as i was wanting to ask for more details from the upduffers #werenotstrangersremember

so @moo and @dolly - exactly how many strokes before the doreen's worked 😂 only kidding. can you share as much info as you feel comfortable with about your DTD/experience. i'm definitely copying your preseed and SMEP to boost my chances this month xx

Oh no cakes!!! Nothing worse than them drunk when you're not!! 🙈

Thanks ladies but I'm feeling ok with it all!! I'm just so pleased for the bfp's!!! We need tips for the next cycle!!! Xx

Honestly cakesalot I am exhausted! I hurt all over from sleeping on his floor so I've got symptoms of baby but they might be fake! Having a bfn this morning has made me doubtful obvs but I read somewhere people are sometimes a week late before getting their bfp

Sounds like a tough stretch lala. You need a break! My dd is super clingy at the moment too and only mummy will do. So I'm up and down all night and DH is snoring his head off!! Exhausting!!

So sorry sara and midget. Have some me time and get yourself relaxed and prepped for next month!

Cd10 here. Feel odd and crampy like ov is imminent but only a very faint line on the opks still. Will see how the next few days go and get some dtd in. Although DH has just walked in from the pub sounding a bit slurred. Performance is questionable when drunk 😫

Bella I'm three days late, creamy cm, high soft positioning, headaches, weird boob feeling (but not painful), aches and pains all over, slight cramps but not as bad as AF and tiredness. HOWEVER for some reason my DS has been super clingy recently and that means I've had very little sleep, the sleep I have had has been on his bedroom floor and I'm a bit stressed right now so that might explain the delay in AF visiting
