We've NOT told many friends nor any family * sorry that typo changed the whole sentence... Just 2 of DH friends and 2 of mine. The rest will have a surprise because we too tend to brush it off that we're not ready for that yet. I honestly think our families will be shocked when it happens lol

Also I'm in South Wales (UK) in valleys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@Skyla01 I had a mini pill baby so not used to this actually trying malarkey! Thanks xx

MrsEmilyB · 01/05/2020 22:00

@Sausage1990 - is there a limit to thread length?! Omg I am so looking forward to telling people once we have our bfp!!! Not sure how we'd tell them yet. Its family I'm most excited about telling. I think DH's mum will cry. I lost my mum a few years ago but DH's mum is such an amazing MIL

Skyla01 · 01/05/2020 21:59

@babyG123 I had that exact feeling a few months ago after reading that saliva was bad for swimmers. We use conceive plus now. But so many people get pregnant by accident / first time / whilst doing all the wrong stuff that I'm sure you haven't hurt your chances.

babyG123 · 01/05/2020 21:58

@MrsEmilyB amazon are defo doing well through lock down that's for sure!!!
Thank you xx

Sausage1990 · 01/05/2020 21:55

Haha love the name idea @Minster2012 @mrsemilyb but we can use it for our mag bus #2 as we're getting to the end if this thread and its only 1st of May today ahaha

We've got told our families nor many friends tbh. We've told 2 friends who are husband and wife and expecting their 1st because they kinda guessed and were like you're trying aren't you? So we didn't lie because it was actually good to share with some people... And I've told 2 good girlfriends, 1 who's pregnant now and 1 who has a baby. I didn't plan to tell them but I shared with them about the chemical and I'm so glad I did.

My closest friendship circle don't actually know tho because I want to surprise them with the news when we do convieve. I'm already looking forward to that part 😊💕

MrsEmilyB · 01/05/2020 21:55

@babyG123 - amazon has had soooo much money since starting our ttc journey 😂😂😂 we are using fertility plus atm as it was about £4 to buy 6 "portions" haha. I think if we aren't lucky this cycle it'll be preseed for us. We always used coconut oil before this, so it was new to us too!

babyG123 · 01/05/2020 21:52

@MrsEmilyB they're now in my amazon basket if we aren't lucky (7dpo) this cycle. 🤞🏼 didn't even know this!!!

MrsEmilyB · 01/05/2020 21:51

@babyG123 - I wouldn't worry too much! People get preggo with all sorts of lube! However there are sperm safe lubes out there such as preseed and fertility plus, which is easy for them to swim through, and are the right ph etc.

MrsEmilyB · 01/05/2020 21:47

@Ltay2 please keep us updated! 🙏🙏

@paintfairy @mrslbear @newbie0818 snap!! Depo and the pill absolutely killed my sex drive. As soon as I came of the pill I was a woman possessed! It's settled down to about 2 weeks of the month now, so he gets a break 😂😂

What has everyone been up to tonight? DH and I have extended our "cheat day" to a bottle of wine and a takeaway from a local catering company. Got all dressed uk for the occasion. We DTD this morning so it was a no pressure situation tonight which has been so nice!!

babyG123 · 01/05/2020 21:45

So my little sexual predators..... I've just read on another post that normal lube can stop sperm!

After feeling shitty and sick and secretly hopeful I'm now like wtf maybe not as we always use normal. 😩

CoronaBaby · 01/05/2020 21:37

Hey girls just catching up and you have given me a good laugh so thanks so much!
Mentally I’m on a really down day today but after catching up and the giggle I got the tide is turning!!
Hope you are all having a good time getting frisky 😉
@GingerBaby89 my mum and one friend knows, she is also TTC and our babies are a similar age!

Minster2012 · 01/05/2020 21:31

@Littlebump2018 it’s all just up and downs I think the whole process is hard, but it’s so great we have each other & there’s always someone here at a similar point, sending hugs 🤗

@Skyla01 I’m quite excited about my purchase 🤣2-5 working days 🤞🏻

@babyG123 Tesco knows 🤔🤞🏻🤞🏻Let’s hope so!!

I’m East Yorkshire!

paintfairy · 01/05/2020 21:04

@MrsLBear @Newbie0818 I literally was dead on the pill. Took a week to O. Had no interest in DTD really. My DH was surprised when I came off it. Its calmed down a bit now but for months I was like a dog on heat constantly. 😂

@GingerBaby89 no one knows we are TTC.

Ltay2 · 01/05/2020 20:49

@MrsLBear I am in Lancashire!

Enjoyed all this talk today ladies, been working on and off so just reading through now 😂

Decided to take an early test in the morning. Still probably way too early but just want to satisfy my curiosity, even though I know it is unlikely to show anything. Will keep you all updated!

babyG123 · 01/05/2020 20:47

We haven't told anyone we are trying! Always said we'd like a 2 year age gap and DS1 is 14m so we are just short of a 2 year if we are lucky enough soon. Therefore no questions lol!

Tesco delivery did just accidentally bring me 3 boxes of decaf tea. Is it a sign? 🤣

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 01/05/2020 20:46

@littlebump2018 I'm in the same boat! 5-6DPO and I've just excepted AF to be here this time lol

Skyla01 · 01/05/2020 20:41

I've only told 1 friend we're trying but unfortunately she kept asking for news.

I thought I was meant to ovulate early this week, but had loads of ewcm yesterday and today. Hmmm, better keep DTD I guess, just in case.

@Minster2012 I think you'll enjoy that purchase! By complete coincidence I replaced the batteries in mine only yesterday, before all this chat!

Littlebump2018 · 01/05/2020 20:39

6dpo and i seriously feel like it's not our month. Anyone in the same boat?

RobinRose · 01/05/2020 20:37

@GingerBaby89 I haven’t told anyone, only my partners immediate family know because of his op, and a couple of his friends purely because he was walking like he had been riding a horse for 24hours 😂 so couldn’t really hide it! I don’t want the added pressure Of my family/friends knowing.

MrsEmilyB · 01/05/2020 20:34

@Minster2012 - I love a good build up too! Definitely working on spacing mine out - it's not as fun as it sounds all the time haha. I am ALL for "cock rings, bullets and TTC" being our June bus thread name 😂 you're in charge of setting it up to make sure it happens now haha.

@Skyla01 - I'm thinking we are all coming up to FW with all these horny hormones flying about 😂 seed cycling is relatively cheap and not harmful, so I'm all for it! If nothing else, you're getting some good fats haha.

@OrangeJ - come and get in on the action 😂😂

@MrsLBear - YES!! It's a very satisfying feeling 😂 like "yup, right place, right time, good job" 🤭👍

@newbie0818 - so it's pumpkin and flax in follicular phase, then sesame and sunflower in luteal phase 👍 be careful with Agnus Cactus (Vitex) - ingefleur has a good article on whether it's right for you. In some people it can do the opposite of helping, so it's good to check! I was taking it when I came off the pill but quickly stopped. Omg a lunch date would be amazing with you ladies 😂 out of interest, where in the world is everyone? We are Cambridgeshire!

@GingerBaby89 we haven't told anyone at all! We'd be the first of the "crew" to bring forth a grandchild and I do NOT need that kind of pressure in my life 😂😂😜

Minster2012 · 01/05/2020 20:15

@Newbie0818 it’s really intrusive isn’t it, I have often said to ppl previously “no, are you?, or “I think we might be doing it wrong” & it shuts them up however close friends they are

Bullet purchased 😂

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 01/05/2020 20:10

My cycles are usually 25-26 but I didn't ovulate till CD 16-17 this month 😭

popcorndiva · 01/05/2020 20:07

My mum knows but think that's about it. Friends know we are planning another but not that we are actively ttc.

My opk tests are now much darker than yesterday. So now swapping to dtd tonight and tomorrow

Newbie0818 · 01/05/2020 20:03

@GingerBaby89 we’ve not told anyone at all, though they’re all waiting for us to announce it since we got married. It’s really upsetting as they keep asking as a joke “are you pregnant yet then?” And I just feel like screaming “NO! I’M DEFECTIVE”. It’s quite hard, we just act like we’re not ready for a family yet. I’ll only tell them close to 12 weeks.
