Need some TTC buddies

Had a call from my midwife this morning going over everything she will be doing for the next 9 months, mostly positive, downside is as i am overweight and have had 2 previous csections, i am in the high risk catagory, was hoping to have a natural birth this time round as i have had one inbetween the 2 sections but shes put doubt in my mind now and said I will have to speak to a consultant to discuss risks etc closer to the time.

She is coming round the house to see me next friday to do my bloods and have another chat.

Morning @Lammoshay

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, I've been getting ready to start smep 😂 not sure about ur tests about I just use the clear blue because then I don't have to think lol.
Do u think that u ovulated? If so how many dpo are u? How did smep work out ?

Haha @lammoshay DTD as much as you can, the more swimmers in there, the more there will be sitting waiting for your egg :)

@Lammoshay that chart is looking good. We only DTD every other day on the fertile week, means the sperm will be more concentrated :)

Thanks @Immeanttobeworking :) I am so excited to tell her, its taking all my willpower not to as i can imagine how happy she will be.

@Louise, congrats!! Delighted for you!! fingers crossed it all goes well for you. I am sure your DD will be delighted.

Welcome @Lunarspell.

I would love to try SMEP but with himself working away monday to friday it just would not work. And then this weekend he was so tired from cows calfing and ewes lambing we only DTD once yesterday morning. ov is showing as around thursday on my app but I am temping now so we will see. He will be home Friday so we will be DTD each day this weekend anyway.

On a plus note I have him mostly off cigs. He is using an evape which has to be better right?

Thanks :) made it a bit more real, think once I’ve had a scan it will sink in that’s its actually happening xx

Wow how beautiful is that line!!!! There's absolutely no need for u to test anymore! Congratulations xxx

@hopeful31 Did my last frer this morning :) top one was at 12dpo on Thursday the other was this morning day after at was due :) think I can stop testing now.

@hopeful31 I know i cannot wait to tell her :)

Oh least you have a short af so your not in pain etc too long.

That will be amazing telling ur Dd. I'm sure that she will have an amazing reaction! How exciting.

Af only lasts around 3 days. But my cycles are around 33 says in total.

Its ok :) Thank you :)
Aww, will soon be over and you will be ready to dtd again, How long does your af usually last?

Cant wait to tell my daughter, she will be so excited but we have said we will go for a scan around 7 weeks then we will tell her and parents once we have had it all checked.

Sorry I forgot that u already told me that ur going with the private health care. I wish u a healthy and happy 9 months.
Af is in full flow today. Pity party on the sofa and I'll be back to normal tomorrow lol

@hopeful31 No, I am not going to see the GP, i have private healthcare with AVIVA and that includes a free GP service where you speak to them over a video call, ill do that when i am around 7 weeks i think.

You dont have your booking in til 8 weeks anyway and i want to just book in with One to One midwives as they give you a midwife whos assigned to you the whole pregnancy and you have all your appointments with the same one which is good as if you go through the NHS system you generally get whoever is available each time round here.

I am also having all my scans privately, going to have a 4D one done this time as i wanted one last time but didnt in the end.

@Louise392 have u made ur gp appointment? So happy for u. It's giving me hope that our bfps r coming

@Shewhojuggles Thank you :)
Yesterday I had really bad pulling and stretching, couldn't sleep very well at all last night, feel a bit nauseous this morning and bit irritable.

Ive switched to the pregnancy Ovia app and says i am due 2nd November and i am 4 weeks exactly today :) little bean the size of a poppy seed apparently.

Lol on the SMEP action, I did that this month, it is hard going, some of the nights it was a forced DTD rather than a love making session just to get his sperm haha!

Hi All, been TTC for 3 months but had another BFN this morning (woke up at 2.30am and by 3.30am couldn’t sleep and tested). Struggling to keep positive. I know it’s early days but it seems like it might never happen. I get so excited and kid myself in to seeing signs and the. take an early response test...5 days later along comes AF.

Ahhhh @louise392 that’s brilliant news, I’m so glad we’ve got a BFP at last. How are you feeling?

Sorry I’ve been off the thread, I was two days late this month and got my hopes up even though I had all my usual PMT signs. AF hit me hard. DD also sorted her room out this week and found lots of her baby clothes. Had a quiet weep by myself at the thought that we won’t ever need them 😢 Must pull myself together. I’m on CD15 and my Ovia app said it was my peak fertility day so we DTD tonight and will do it again Sunday. I did google SMEP but my husband’s not really well enough for that much action!

Hope you ladies are all ok.
