So, onto cycle number 2! Anyone else quite new to this game?

Af due Monday no symptoms really just sore boobs since 2dpo and creamy lotion cm started today x

Thanks PinkChocolatex! I'm one of those that boycotts Amazon cos of their tax sitch though! Why can't boots sell everything?!!!

Aph413 I can't deal with CM. I have no idea what is what. Also, I don't really want to touch it!

peaches I honestly couldn't say. No positive opks, no temperature spike, no ewcm just watery. Those signs make me think no but I had pains that could've been ovulation along side the watery CM.
It's all so much fun. I only wanted to chart so I knew how long my cycles were! This time next week I'll know one way or another at least

I've seen preseed on Amazon xx

Also, where does one purchase 'preseed' from?

KEG973 Yeah DTD is getting exhausting. I think I need to buy a book and get a bit adventurous!

PinkChocolatex good luck mate!

Aph413 Do you think you might have ovulated then? I'm starting to wonder about whether I have.

In other news just been baby bombed! It made me laugh as hubby pulled a face when he heard the news and he is always impeccably behaved!

No AF yet. Trying to hold out now til the 5th before testing. Or the very earliest Monday since that'll only be 2 days early.
Not enjoying this wait especially not knowing if I even ovulated this time.
Going to sit on my hands

I've tried the fertility check lube this cycle...mainly cus I hadn't realised that you're not supposed to use normal lube and I was too late to get pre-seed/conceive plus...it's supposed to mimic CM but I found it pretty messy...I'm in my TWW so let's see if it helped although I doubt it!

KEG this is only month 1 and I think it's just the newness of it driving me neurotic. I hope to calm down next cycle. I've been in a terrible mood all day accompanied by some cramping this evening so I think that it's going to be tomorrow. If not I'm hoping to hang on til the weekend, I've got this far.
On a side note about lube, boots has got their fertility check lube which I assume it the same as preseed except it's in individual tubes rather than decanting into syringes

Hi APH-well done not testing today, was thinking about u. Do u still feel PMSey? How long have u been ttc? I ovulated on the 18th this month so that is better then the 6 days it usually is!!

Hey peaches! Ahhhh i see what you mean with the bean bag! I thought it was a tiddley one like u played with in PE in primary school-duhhh!!! I have had zero success with cervical mucus, do not think i have much of it. I read reviews of preseed on amazon and every site going and the amount of people who said it was the only thing they changed after months of ttc and they got pregnant, apparently slivia and other lubes can kill sperm off before they get near the cervix. Used it last night for the first time, was pretty good actually then did the sexy legs up while watchin one born every minute-what a sight!! We had sex on Friday and again last night (positive ovulation test yesterday AM) im done with DTD every two days it hust wasnt fun.

Aph413
I think I'm on the 9th day of high CD 22 or something. So fed up. I hope I am yet to ovulate but it's such a long cycle. PCOS is a pain!

KEG97
Also, I can't figure out how to monitor CM especially if you've been shagging the night before???

KEG973
Also, never used lube so not sure whether to get the preseed. I've been trying since Jan but only started properly in August! Bought the inofolic though Dr says it'd good for pcos.

KEG973
I saw on another thread that someone bought a bean bag and kept it beside the bed then after DTD thry slid onto it and kept legs above on the bed.

KEG I never got a positive opk this cycle and I used both cheap and clear blue digitals. Afer 12 days of high no peak I can only assume I may have ovulated on the 15th if at all. I only have 2 frer and I don't want to waste them if my period is due next week because obviously it's far too early.
It's the uncertainty on if it's tomorrow or not that's getting me. I might manage to hold out til the weekend if I staple my hands together

APH413, do u know when u ovulated? Do you think u could wait two days? The 2ww is awful isnt it?

I'm due AF either tomorrow or the 5th October and I can't decide when I should test. Having to make myself sit on my hands over the whole thing however the mood swings I've had in the last day or so are leading me to think maybe AF is on her way.
peaches preseed is the sperm friendly lube

Hello peaches! Bean bag????? Are u gunna put a bean bag it there? Im so confused how will that fit? Is it a small one? Boy your shopping card must have cost a small fortune. What month of ttc it is for u now?As i am writing this i have my legs up in the air against a wall, two pillows under my ass and my husband making me laugh (not good for spillage!!) and first time trying preseed lube (i have heard good things!) do all u ladies monitor your cervical mucus? I dont think i have any at all?

KEG973 hi love, hope all the tests are useful! 'manly date with a cup' hahahahhaha!!!!

Despite having not ovulated yet this month, I feel like I'm out. Bored of shagging!

In any case next cycle I'm gonna do everthing:
Smerm friendly lube, already forgot what its called.
Inofolic off internet which my Dr told me to buy bit I didn't because I was scared of biying it on the internet.
Whatever 'preseed' is.
Also heard of fertility blend.
Evening primrose oil.
Bean bag to limit leakage.
I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of other things too!

Aw hello you lovely ladies!!!! And CONGRATULATIONS LAMPARD so so so pleased for u!!!! Dont u dare dissapear and keep us updated (ps what was ur secret??)

I had a wee break from Mums net there as I was feeling a bit blue :( came back from our first holiday together in 5 years and my husband missed the flight home due to a delay and someone needed to collect the bags then check them back in and the first flight was epically dealyed then came home thinking "loads of people get preggers on holiday with the wine and relaxing" arrived home and started my period. We have decided to get some tests done privately. With my ovulation and period only having 5 days Inbetween them (nor enough time for an egg to implant) we want to get everything checked out so he has an, erhm, manly hot date with a cup, and i have bloods being done to check progesterone levels on the same night - thankfully not in the same building cuz that would be well weird! Then an app with a fertility doctor the following week. All up in thenair until then, i cried the whole way to work and the whole way home, its just all so unknown isnt it? I think if someone told me i would be pregnant in june next year i would totally chill but is the waiting and wondering and making sure you dont miss an opportunity that makes in so much more difficult. And the strain it puts on your relationship too.

Sorry heart pour out there-should have warned yas in advance of my essay. Where is everyone at in their ttc or 2ww now? Lots of babydust!!!!!

Throw in some progesterone fuelled depression and I’m excellent company right now. Sigh

I feel your pain @NimbleKnitter. I actually took a pregnancy test despite having an AF and no symptoms, because you never know right?!!

Best of luck this month xx

I thought cycle 2 was going to be super chill - didn’t temp, didn’t pee in a stick. Didn’t symptom check for a whole week after presumed ovulation.

8dpo hit yesterday and I’m mental.

One minute I’m convinced it hasn’t worked (nor, statistically, should it) - the next i allow myself a what if.

Argh!

I've started peeing on the clear blue sticks for cycle 3 today. The last two months have been a whirlwind of what I think must be imagined symptoms.

Good luck everyone. Here's to a successful October! xx

8dpo but don't think thus is our month don't feel any different apart from sore boobs since 2dpo x
