I'm CD1 of cycle 2 TTC #1 so thought I'd start a new thread for anybody in the same situation who didn't get their April BFP.

I had a MMC found on a scan at 9.5weeks after seeing HB at 7 weeks 🙁 I had SMM on the 19th March but no luck in my first month and AF got me today. Normal cycles are 28days so I hope to be testing around the 20th May. This month I will be tracking ovulation using CB connected and trying out Preseed for the first time hoping this helps towards my 🌈 but tonight I'll just be having a G&T 💁🏾‍♀️

Congrats @Jaylou7 thats a fab positive xx stay hopeful xx 😘

@Donnat89 so sorry to hear about that! Its Awful! X

Me and my hubby have said no dtd when im pregnant as we are scared with what happened and if it could have been anything we done so we need to make the most of ttc i guess as itll be a looong 9 months being celibate 🙈 x

Jaylou7 · 29/04/2020 13:07

Thank you so much! What lovely people here. I pray you get your bfp soon. Xx

@SmileyT haha I also started reading @Hayleylou89 internally with a scouse accent how funny!

@Hayleylou89 honestly with lockdown it is just nice to shop for things online and if it helps us get PG then worth it really!

@SmileyT I really got confused when checking last month too. Between both things plus pre seed probably causing all lots of confusion. 😂😂

@Renna haha go for it with the extra online purchases. Might as well spice things up whilst DTD lots.

@Jaylou7 congratulations!! Lots of positive thoughts. Keep relaxed and happy. I am sure this will be a healthy pregnancy for you ❤️

I've loved reading what you all do and have read. The orgasm thing... I've heard that before too that a woman should go after but who knows. When we used preseed the first time I got my BFP but ended in mmc so I was convinced it was magic. Used it since and no luck so maybe not so magic.
I do lay with my bum in the air and also did this the first time. I actually fell asleep without going to the loo the day before O this cycle and woke up in the night and went. Hoping that might have helped as it was all there longer 😆 I mean let's be honest we would all try most things if it meant we could get our BFP.

Jaylou7 · 29/04/2020 12:45

Bless you that is such a lovely thing to say. I am trying so hard to be strong. I am so so sorry for your loss that must be heartbreaking to get that far. I pray you get your BFP soon. 🌈🙏💕

Renna · 29/04/2020 12:39

@jaylou7 xx I know what you mean I'll initially be excited when I see a BFP but will stop myself being too excited until I at least get past first scan again 12 weeks as that's when I found out about MMC xx try relax 😘 I'm sure this is your lucky sticky month xxx

Jaylou7 · 29/04/2020 12:30

Thank you so much. I am due today. I have lost both previous at 5 weeks and 4/5 days so trying to see past that. The spotting was 2 days ago only once so fingers crossed just can’t get excited 😢 xx

Renna · 29/04/2020 12:23

@Jaylou7 aw congratulations hun xxx it's still a BFP and you can get spotting early pregnancy and not be a loss so try focus on the positive and that this will stick this time 💞🌈🤞 is AF late or how far gone are you ? Xxxx

Renna · 29/04/2020 12:19

@Hayleylou89 haha all this chat from me asking who orgasms first ... 🤣 I mean let's be honest DTD is an important part of TTC soo.. good to know these techniques 🤣👌 we have been proper trying to spice things up doing different things lately .. some online purchases etc 🤣👌 so we keep it fun. It got a bit stressful when we started TTC last year before MC so dont wanna get to that again.
Haha oh gawd .. dont imagine a very thick essex accent !! 🤣 I'm not that bad lol... although you dont actually think you have an accent yourself do you I guess .. 🤣🙊
All my family take mick out of DH, he is an ex royal marine and originally from Plymouth but as he has travelled all over so has a weird accent .. like we all say last past grass glass different to him and he gets stick for it from my lot hah blessss xx 😁😁

Jaylou7 · 29/04/2020 12:09

Hi ladies I’m jumping on here you guys are making me blush 🤣. My oh would love to have a lady like You. I really don’t like sex at all completely low SEX drive. Only do it when I want a baby or very drunk which is rare. I literally did it once this month 🤮 luckily I’ve got my bfp but....history of 2 loses and spotted 2 days ago so quite doubtful.

Renna · 29/04/2020 12:08

@SmileyT haha love the sex chat 👌 more fun to talk about lmao.
I've sent a link to that cup to DH he hasnt seen it yet .. I think hell say I'm a crazy lady lol .. I'd give things like that a go but also dont wanna completely ruin the moment ... Syringing in lube before sex then cupping it in after... haha gawd what's it coming to lol..
...completely finish you off ! Wowee hah I think I'm like a man sometimes .. haha once I've orgasmed i struggle to carry on for too long as i feel really sensitive 🤣🤣 not sure I could be 'finished off again ' .. haha .. sounds fun though! 🤣👌
Yeah not sure you can really check CM around DTD ... I'm no expert as still not grasped it really but deffo hard to be able to tell the difference lol .. xx

Hayleylou89 · 29/04/2020 12:06

@SmileyT Haha yep, propa scouser i am... I can imagine @renna essex voice now aswell! ...So yeah mostly me before him, but if not, I just use a little vibrating bullet to help if not, it works every time 🙈😂.. wow this thread has got wayy out of hand today... oh the fertility cup ideas seems like a good buy for me just to try and avoid utis if anything else 🙏 im looking at them now! Jesus this ttc game is expensiiive! X ill have every gadget in the book by the time my fertile window arrives, cb connected, ava bracelet, cheapies, preseed lube, and a bloody fertility cup 🙈😂 surly thats got to work?? 😂

SmileyT · 29/04/2020 11:59

@tryingtimes20 I had sex when bleeding had reduced to spotting but DP wasn't really happy about it because Dr said should wait until all bleeding is done to avoid infection. By that stage it had been nearly 3 weeks so I just needed it - no TMI here 🙈

@Donnat89 so sorry for your loss I hope you get some answers and can put your cousin to rest in peace ❤️❤️

@Hayleylou89 I'm definitely going to have an internal scouse accent when I read your posts now, also glad you are feeling a bit more relaxed and AF is done and dusted. On my app it doesn't include spotting as a period so this month I put it a day before and day after period. Hope the bedroom move is going well ☺️

@Renna because you asked I always orgasm first then DP does but then he'll normally completely finish me off afterwards (god that sounded way worse writing it than I'd imagined) 😂 I've heard it helps to contract everything and give the swimmers a helping hand but tbh we've always kinda done that.

@2020wish welcome 🙏 I've never heard the TWW thing, I refuse to believe that is true as Drs suggest having sex every 2 to 3 days throughout which would seem crazy if it affects implantation. Also I don't want to believe that as that would mean 3 weeks without sex each month 😩 definitely going to order that cup for next month though. Again TMI but it is the worst if you get that cum drop when you aren't expecting it.

Seen as we are on a sex chat this morning, I'm wondering how people check their CM around having sex I feel like I can't tell the difference between him and me (sorry if that question offends anybody 🤦🏾‍♀️)

@2020wish I have been reading up about it. Tempted to get one!! X

2020wish · 29/04/2020 11:30

@VP91x I believe it was last for however long u need it if cleaned and stored correctly. That’s just want it says on the box about the 6 cycles thing

VP91x · 29/04/2020 10:18

@2020wish Oh I had never seen or heard of that! Thanks. How comes it only lasts for 6 cycles?

@Renna yeah I know what you mean. I think it probably works in that it makes the environment more favourable. If you're DTD alot sometimes it will help! Xx

2020wish · 29/04/2020 10:15

@renna yes I am going to use it this cycle also the cup lasts for 6 ttc cycles

Renna · 29/04/2020 10:12

@2020wish yeahh the CP lube can be quite wet too but he hasnt complained about it .. lmao about wanting to nap 🤣 .. yeah never heard of the fertility cup?? Will you use that again? Xx

@Hayleylou89 soo.. is that what you do ?? Lol orgasm after him ? .. 🤣 I just dont think I could change our flow to that lol . Like you say lots of things like that. I try at least stay laying down for like 10 mins . The month I got pregnant I just had to go straight to sleep as was middle of night at in laws over xmas 🤣 is so gross isnt it .. but maybe them staying in there over night helped 🤣🙄 yeah in the past I'd be like straight to toilet ... @vp91x I dont fully put my legs in the air after but maybe I'll do that... that'll be the only wives tale I may start following... 🤣 ... hah seems like miracle lube 🤣 it keeps popping up my Facebook ads and all the comments are like yeah used it once got pg ! ... miracle lube !! I question if some of the accounts posting are fake though yano ...

Xx

2020wish · 29/04/2020 10:06

@VP91x this is it. You insert it after DTD and it keeps the sperm up near the cervix and I can go ahead to the loo or for a snack lol and avoid the mess of having it trickle out when u move

VP91x · 29/04/2020 10:02

@2020wish what's the fertility cup? Xx

@Donnat89 I can imagine 😔

Hopefully SMEP works for you this month 🤞🤞 xx

VP91x · 29/04/2020 09:59

@Renna haha yeah! After DTD if I lie there with my legs up or against the wall he just laughs and says women are all crazy 😂😂

We have used preseed (I just never told him I was using it!) I used a small amount. Like less than half of the applicator. Seemed like more than enough! Miracle lube 😂😂Xx

Donnat89 · 29/04/2020 09:59

Thanks ladies ,
It's a massive shock and we don't know yet what happened so we are all just waiting .

We started SMEP yesterday at CD 6 and plan on DTD every-other day , haven't started using OPKS yet will start them at the end of the week

Hopefully we see some BFPS this month x

Hayleylou89 · 29/04/2020 09:58

@Renna

Yeah apparently orgasm helps the spermies swim faster and contracts the cervix pushing them up haha 😂. theres loads of things like the legs in the air thing aswell... i wont go the toilet for like 30 mins after dtd but i dnt know why because before conceiving last time id jump in the shower soon after as i couldnt stand feeling gooey (sorry tmi) and i got pregnant...and now i think am i causing utis as u we should go the loo after sex to wash away germs 🙈 its all too much hear say i think... if its going the happen itll just happen and the sperms will make their way if they are meant too 🙏 🌈 x

2020wish · 29/04/2020 09:58

I used preseed for a few months. I had a chemical
Pregnancy within those months but we found it to hinder my partners performance more— tmi but made it too wet lol and he went on for ever and I was ready to murder him and take a nap waiting while he finished lol I then found the fertilily cup and I used that without preseed and that was the month I fell pregnant in March just past so I recommend that

TerribleImagination · 29/04/2020 09:54

@VP91x Haha I can totally see how nothing would change there 😂

@Donnat89 I’m so so sorry to hear about your cousin 😢 Sending love ❤️
