@Crossfitgirl tbh I've just used mine for the fun of it haha haven't even checked if it's sperm friendly. So I'm 8dpo and took one those pregnancy strips as it's a negative :(

@NewSparkle VERY positive! congrats again xxx

Hi ladies, update on my situation. Took a clear blue early test and I’m definitely pregnant. Eeeek!

@delilah7 know what you mean, dh knows about my opks and has started getting annoyed at the temping (cos it beeps!) He's also seen my conception support tablets from boots that I just started taking. Fertility lube may just kill whatever romance is left!
Just wanna make sure it's sperm friendly haha xx

Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 06:21

@purplestar9 I have weekends off too, but then OH sometimes goes out with the boys so if I'm not my own it gets harder to not think about it!

@Crossfitgirl I just used normal for now, like I said before if I told my OH it's a fertility lube he might just freak out. I don't think he wants to try all that or the OPKS as of yet as we aren't even 6 months in. Yeah I agree... I don't wanna get obsessed! 😂 xx

Crossfitgirl · 20/08/2018 23:28

Haven't managed to reply to everyone but off to sleep. Night! Xxx

Crossfitgirl · 20/08/2018 23:26

@validuser feel better soon Xx
@mrsm2017 that must have been exciting getting to see what lies ahead for you! Get visualising yourself having that scan!
@purplestar9 men are so annoying, my DH gets up and runs to the window if he even hears a noise outside, if hes got an ailment its terrible!

Crossfitgirl · 20/08/2018 23:18

@flapjackered wine is good for conception. Fact.

@ttcat32 I have just started temping a few days ago, I didn't like it at first but just getting used to it. I'm gonna be coming into my fertile time soon, so going to get on it. This will be the first month we have agreed to "try", so far my husband has initiated twice this week and we haven't even needed to so I'm really pleased!

I'm gonna try at least every other day. I might get some of that pre-seed lube!!

@delilah7 sorry that made me think of you haha but what kind of lube do you use? I remember you saying you lubed up the other day!! Does everyone just use normal stuff or are you using sperm friendly?

Also, I also get a bit meh sometimes I spend ages replying on here and posts do Sometimes get missed, but the speed of the thread is hard to keep up with - i may actually have to take a break from it soon as it's so time consuming and I don't wanna think about it ALL the time.
I also can't remember who said what and lose track if there's more than 10 things to reply to!! Lol

@MrsM2017 ooh, fingers crossed!! 😁

MrsM2017 · 20/08/2018 22:07

Hi all - sorry just playing catch up as had a full on day lol.

Went with my friend to her dating scan today and it's made me even more super broody (if that's even possible?!) .... Kind of a bittersweet moment though as hoping it won't be long til it's me....

End of the day and AF is still a no show so you never know.... 🤞🏻

MrsR16 · 20/08/2018 22:04

Night night @ValidUser hope the humidity doesn't keep you up too much

ttcat32 · 20/08/2018 22:00

@FlapJackered same! I won't be disclosing my regular intake 😂

Night @ValidUser let us know how you're doing tomorrow x

ValidUser · 20/08/2018 21:55

My spotty AF has disappeared for now. Having an early night. Feeling really ill (probably the course of augmentin I just finished).

Night everyone. Lovely to have other women in similar circumstances to chat to. X

FlapJackered · 20/08/2018 21:54

God I feel like an alcoholic compared to everybody! Feeling guilty now 😕

purplestar9 · 20/08/2018 21:46

@ValidUser even better! 🤣 let's hope he doesn't make a habit of it!

ValidUser · 20/08/2018 21:42

Like yourself, he is a non-drinker! Not sure what got into him...

purplestar9 · 20/08/2018 21:41

@ValidUser 😂 was he drunk? Haha!
I'd have been really annoyed if mine had done that to me! I like my sleep. I'm most definitely not a morning person (or a middle of the night person!) ... bodes well for motherhood! 🤨

ValidUser · 20/08/2018 21:37

@purplestar9 once my husband woke me up at 4am to say hi... 😂

purplestar9 · 20/08/2018 21:35

@Delilah7 that's good then! Hopefully full time work should keep you occupied during the day then! I'm 9-5 5 days p/w so I only really have evenings and weekends to try occupy my mind (and those quiet times in work where my mind just wanders!).
I feel so tired this evening, I'm blaming it on DH who woke me up (unintentionally) at 4am because he had heartburn or something!

@ValidUser of course! Being a non drinker myself obviously makes no difference to me anyway :) but for those who enjoys it then why not! 👍😀

Delilah7 · 20/08/2018 21:26

@ttcat32 I'm the same Hun 😂😂 I'm trying to keep saying yep I did yep I did but who the fuck knows hahaha x

ttcat32 · 20/08/2018 21:24

That's a long day @Delilah7! Hope you enjoyed!
I'm ok, fed up with not knowing re the ov so just decided I did 😂

@Crossfitgirl I haven't tried temping, do you do it? X

ValidUser · 20/08/2018 21:13

@purplestar9 I'm not a big drinker anyway, but gin when AF comes isn't a whole awful lot. If I ran into trouble conceiving I might consider, but in my years as a doctor the number of drunkenly conceived babies make me think one or two might be fine! Wink

Delilah7 · 20/08/2018 20:58

@ttcat32 a walking sperm bank made me LOL 😂
Tiring. 5:30am - 10:30pm. I was KNACKERED lol. Took my mind off everything though! You been ok? Xx

@sunshine1987would be nice but I doubt it Hun :( ❤️

@purplestar9 it really is. If I'm honest since this weekend I haven't thought much about it until today so that's good. Just want to know what my bodies going to do. Work full time 7am - 4pm xx

purplestar9 · 20/08/2018 20:51

@Delilah7 that would be really good if you get your normal cycle back straight away! It's so easy for people to say to you to keep busy but it's so much easier said than done isn't it?! I hope you enjoyed the zoo! :) do you work? What hours do you usually do? X

sunshine1987 · 20/08/2018 20:44

@Delilah7 got everything crossed for you, hope this is your month 💜
