TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

@Delilah7 yay!!! Better get baby dancing! Xx

Good morning ladies, how's everyone feeling today? Another bfn for me this morning but had sickness all day yesterday and woke up with it again! But absolutely no signs of af showing it's face. Anyone got experience on short cycles? Iv had 24 day cycle for years, but reading about Clomid it will make me ovulate late, so therefore im only 10 dpo. But also convinced that I want my bfp so much I'm possibly turning in to a psycho. Any advise anyone? 💙💖💜xxx

So I got a negative on an ic this morning at 9/10dpo. I hate not knowing whether my symptoms are normal for this stage in my cycle! Got a random stitch type pain under my ribs today, and still having occasional mild cramping.

@BabySquid when are you planning on testing? Xx

Morning all!

Just about to enter the 2ww!
We were using pre seed as a lube, but have tried syringeing this month. Was a bit dubious, but thankfully my partner is as eager as I am with ttc and suggested we use it the other way. I think he's getting as frustrated as me now!

@babysquid 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Oh my days guys I'm so tired and I can't stop peeing!! I'm hoping these are good signs. 🤞🏻

Wow these threads fill up fast! 😆 Thanks for the new one @Delilah7. Nice to hear how everyone is getting on, and to see some more newbies joining the thread.

If clue is right I will ovulate on Wednesday so hoping for a BFP towards the end of the month - wishing all of you lots of September luck, too!

@Ebonyx - we have been using preseed and no joy so far but I have just been using it as lube rather than doing the whole syringing it up there! I might try that this time...desperate times and all. 😂

Welcome @Dimblebimble you are doing better than us. I think we only managed it three times in the fertile week this cycle and that was a vast improvement from the month before. Some ladies on this thread have got their bfp from 4/5 days before ov so it is possible!

This month I am going to be more forceful with DH and initiating sex. I may try one of @Delilah7 's tricks of seduction! 😂😘 🐎💥

@BambiOnIce80 I also secretly popped it in, I think he thought I was just extra excited!

Wow this thread goes fast! Hello I'm still quietly lurking. 4dpo and trying to keep myself distracted. @Delilah7 I hope you and your dad are OK xx

Lube - I now swear by preseed and I think it helped me twice, hopefully this month too.

DTD - we did 2-3 times with at least a day apart in fertile week which also worked twice.

Yeah @cupcakesandglitter, I think it's a 'every little helps' kind of thing. It's supposed to help the sperms motility for getting where it needs to go, which our normal lubrication apparently may not 😏

Omg @BambiOnIce80 that's fantastic 😂😂😂 does it help? We've used lube a couple of times before, but we don't really need it however with fertility lube I figure every little helps!!! X

It is indeed fertility support lube @cupcakesandglitter 👍 I didn't even mention to DP that I was using it to start with - just popped it in whilst he was getting ready for bed and then he thought he was doing an amazing job at DTD 😂

Hi all new ladies!! I love how busy these threads are - there's always so much to catch up, sorry if it seems like I'm not responding!!

@Magpie1111 I have PCOS, although this is cycle 2 (TTC for a couple of months last year unsuccessfully) - I've had a few miscarriages though, but unsure if it's related. I think I have endo too, but I've not been trying long enough to say whether it's going to get in the way or not!! Sorry if that's not very helpful sorry if I've missed it, how long have you been TTC for? Xx

What's conceive plus? Is it lube? I spoke to DH about using the lube that helps his swimmers up, but we've agreed to try for a couple more months first xx

Hi new ladies 👋

@Ebonyx, I've been using the conceive plus version for the last two cycles. Not pregnant yet, but certainly makes things more comfortable when your DTD-ing a lot! 😉

@Ebonyx we’ve been using the conceive plus, it had good reviews so I thought we may as well try it

@ebony we’ve been using it but just as a lube. To actually aid fertility you have to insert it internally with an applicator and I gave up, I couldn’t work out how to do it I also saw lots of positive reviews, if you’re worried you might not have enough/the right type of cm it can’t hurt to give it a try

Has anyone tried pre seed or conceive plus before? Heard a lot of amazing reviews xx

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind if I join. TTC for 7 months now with no luck (maybe a cp last month, not sure). Having some blood tests and if they are clear maybe an ultrasound. Almost 29 and ttc first baby.

I’m going to be very rude and ask you a very personal to start! How much sex do you have throughout the month and specifically how many times around the fertile week? We only seem to manage it around 4 times in the fertile week atm feel like we should be tying harder 🙈

Is anyone struggling with ttc with pcos?

Ebonyx Delilah7, it's fine really this was my 2nd one. Just feels a bit awkward but the nurse was chatty so not too bad!

Glad we all have somewhere to come and vent/ask questions/lift each other up, it's ace :)
