First off good luck to everyone testing today!
I got my solid smiley today on clearblue ov sticks, so excited as I didnt get a solid last month! Do I BD for the next the days or still every other?

Hey1256 · 20/09/2019 23:48

@MisssC3025 I would have three drinks max, that's my routine until I get a positive. I'm also trying not to drink Except one day a week.

I think a few drinks won't do any harm. Or at least 1 drink and say you're on antibiotics?

Hey1256 · 20/09/2019 23:47

@MisssC3025 @Rinoa lol thanks for the advice ladies! I will try both next month see what happens Grin

@AL94X that's so odd!! Did you keep it horizontal when you walked around with it? Did you take a pic?

Maybe try again with morning wee??

Anyone awake need advice !!

6dpo and going London tomorrow for a friends birthday! We are going to a bottomless brunch 2 hours of unlimited prosecco and pornstar martinis! What do I do? If I refuse drinks (especially unlimited ones) my friends will clock on!!
We're continuing the day at a crazy golf bar and then going to a rooftop bar then a club!

Any advice really don't want my friends to clock on just yet!! ☹️☹️😩😩

Update- I just took a cheapy test, what looked like a vv faint pink line appeared, i took it downstairs to show OH and it had gone Sad Not even a minute after it showed up, it just disappeared. Talk about a kick in the teeth. So looks like I'm out this month.
@xarx123 can definitely see something, hope its the start of your BFP, definitely test again in the morning! 🤞🤞xx

I’m really nervous as it didn’t stick 2 months ago so I have lots of cheapies I’m going to use over the next 5 days to check if it’s getting darker 😬

@Xarx123 ah! I have everything crossed for you! Maybe morning wee would be much better than tonight's wee? X

@MisssC3025 yeh that’s what I see also - it’s also clearer in person and I took the test at 5pm after only like an hour or 2 hold as I just felt I wanted to lol so I’ve been holding since absolutely bursting but trying for the 6 hour mark before bed to see if it’s any clearer. I think I’m only about 9dpo roughly - fingers crossed but so worried it won’t stick as it happened 2 months ago.

@Hey1256 @Rinoa

Yes it's horrible haha! But I've read up that most of it shoots into you and that left over stuff that comes out or is around your lady regions is the semens nutrients and excess fluid. If it's healthy sperm filled semen 10s/100s of million sperm has gotten inside.

the position that literally has nothing coming out of me is from behind. Once done I flip over and it's the tiniest bit of wetness! Usually with missionary I have to use half a loo role but when we've done it from behind I literally use one sheet!

If a bean doesn't stick this month I will continue doing that position next month and I will try sideways too when I'm tired haha.

@Hey1256 I know it feels uncomfortable to be all wet down there. I try to only wipe around but 'inside' if that makes sense sorry if Tmi but for me its never 100% inside. Some seems to drip out, so I actually find putting legs up against the wall helps gravity do its thing! I'm used to cleaning myself and peeing afterwards too but I try not to. If I have to really go best not to hold it.

I'll let u know if it works 😝

Xarx123 · 20/09/2019 18:57

@AL94X positive vibes! It came up after 3 minutes so hopefully it wasn’t an evap and hopefully it sticks x

Hey1256 · 20/09/2019 18:19

@Rinoa I'm planning to try that!

Call me daft but I've been going straight to the toilet post sex and having a quick wash - do you think this will have reduced my chances?

I HATE the stuff being inside me, it freaks me out I have a serious case of ocd with it but needs must - if I should be keeping it in I will.

I just assumed that it's already gone inside so don't need the loose bits anymore?!!

AL94X · 20/09/2019 17:59

@xarx123 I'm not sure how you upload photos on here either but my fingers are crossed for you! My 1st bfp was very faint but if the line came up within a few minutes, it's more than likely not an evap xxx

Rinoa · 20/09/2019 17:58

@MisssC3025 sideways seems to work for me and I've been putting my legs up with a pillow under my bum lol not sure if it makes a difference but it feels like less comes out. And i try not to get up for at least 30 min. Oh the glory of planning dtd.

It's so weird DH has no issue with sex drive prior but ever since we've been planning it exactly by O days he seems to be mechanical lol I sense he struggles to get into it. He says he feels pressured 😂 but it's only around that time then back to normal. 4DPO today and he feels less pressure 😆

Xarx123 · 20/09/2019 17:10

I’ve done a test today I can see a very faint line not sure how to actual post the picture on here to see what yous think I’m only 9dpo and very scared of doing tests early after my chemical. Not sure how to tell if it’s just an evap line though so bit worried about getting my hopes up x

Crossing my fingers for you both @Jurassiclover @AL94X !!

I'm counting the days... this month I feel like my DP and I have DTD more than normal, so I'm hoping this is the month!! Also tried more positions this month, as usually we stick to missionary (sorry TMI). I found when we did missionary it would all come out of me lol. But we did others and it hardly came out!! 😂🤞🏼

Hopefully it's made a difference. As I've heard if you have a tilted uterus (which I don't know if I do or not) other positions can help it all go in.

Anyone else know about this??

Smile

Feeling very positive today, DP's sex drive reappeared last night (strangely after a row hahahah clearly I just need to annoy him and make him angry) so I'm feeling hopeful we should be able to carry on DTD every other day this month crosses fingers

AL94X · 20/09/2019 12:08

Thankyou!
I am 13 dpo, AF due tomorrow! Had a BFN a couple days ago so trying to hold off poas as long as possible xxx

@lemonysherbert wow congratulations amazing news!! Xx

AL94X · 20/09/2019 11:26

@misssC3025 Thankyou! None of the usual af signs yet, no cramps, spotting etc. Had terrible heartburn/acid that made me feel nauseous the last 2 days- vv. unusual for me Confused Hope this is our month I'm scared of testing yet, don't think I can face another BFN xxx
