Hi ladies 💕

13dpo today and af is imminent as temp dropped to cover line plus a bfn. So who's joining me?

Bought some vitamins recommended by it starts with the egg for this month and also male conception tablets for DH. So we shall see 🤞🏼

@Cocoblue22 I know exactly what you're saying!
I definitely won't be going on contraception again at least not until I've had all the babies I want too 🙈 I wish I was as fat as I once thought too! Fat at 8 stone?! 😂😂😂
@Franklydear do you know what I think ? Fuck what everyone else thinks that's what! Do what you want and if you want it then you get it!
*
Sooo drum roll .... I am in fact 22 but 23 this year*!

🙈 I had my DS very young but wouldn't change it for the world! @SmileyT you weren't far off!

SmileyT · 22/05/2020 18:45

@lucyrp ooh you have to tell us now... you've been with your OH 5 years so I'm guessing at least 23 🤔 honestly age is not important we don't want to lose you unless it's to a pregnancy board x

@Cocoblue22 I've put on about 9lbs since the lockdown began, every day I think I'll start a diet and then I think fuck it doubt I'll be on a beach anytime soon so who cares (she says eating a sharer bag of crisps even though DP has left chicken, rice and veg all plated up for me 😂)

OnNaturesCourse · 22/05/2020 18:45

Very early 30s... I told myself I'm 30s now and not specific number 😂

Ltay2 · 22/05/2020 18:43

I find it interesting knowing how old everyone is! Definitely no judgements here 💕

OnNaturesCourse · 22/05/2020 18:41

Glad it's not just me that doesn't think she'll ever be back on contraception!

We will definitely be going down the natural route or tubes tied / snipped.

Franklydear · 22/05/2020 18:37

@lucyrp, i am 42, I will get some looks if it happens, people even stopped asking

Cocoblue22 · 22/05/2020 18:37

I wish I was as fat as the first time I thought I was fat 🤣

Franklydear · 22/05/2020 18:36

@Mococo1, well, I’ve been trying to control weight since forever, so that is a good theory too....

Cocoblue22 · 22/05/2020 18:33

@lucyrp age is just a number! X

Cocoblue22 · 22/05/2020 18:32

I also agree contraception is rubbish except the only useful thing is being able to run packets on to delay a period if you’re going on holiday etc but I think I’m going to stay contraceptive free from now until we finish having babies xx

lucyrp · 22/05/2020 18:30

@SmileyT hahaha 😂😂 I'm probably one of the youngest on this thread I'm too scared to say how old I am incase you all poo poo me 🙈😂

Cocoblue22 · 22/05/2020 18:28

I feel soooo fat atm I lost a stone and was back to my pre baby weight this time last year but due to holidays and having too much fun I’ve put it all back on and now I’m a stone heavier than before I had DC1 which isn’t ideal but it is what it is. Lockdown isn’t helping like you say can’t get to shops as much and the first few weeks we ate and drank like we were on an all inclusive holiday. I did do two weeks of lots of exercise but saw no results then I guess I’ve resigned myself to oh well no point now really!! I’m classing the baby years as the fatter years and hoping once we complete our family I can lose it. I just find dieting is the only way to get it off which means I hardly eat anything and don’t drink etc which isn’t fun and I don’t feel in the right frame of mind to do it atm! Hope I’m not the only one who feels this way!!! Xx

SmileyT · 22/05/2020 18:25

@lucyrp you really do crack me up 😂😂😂 I definitely have an image in my head of you now aswell x

Welcome @HJen22 🙏 hopefully this is the lucky 2nd month x

@notyetamumbuttrying if I cba with sex sometimes I'll be like I'll do it if you let me pop a finger in and I know he'll roll over and go to sleep 😂

@OnNaturesCourse agree!! No condoms and no contraception is the way forward, think I'll stick with natural contraception and withdrawal if I hopefully conceive ❤️

TTCgee · 22/05/2020 18:23

Hahaha I literally cannot keep up with all these sex stories! Too funny!

I love my bullet! We use it together but to be fair I prefer that bit on my own - I used to have all sorts when I was younger but I think I've defo calmed down a bit 😂😂 my OH has defo got more adventurous since being with me! If you persist gals they might eventually say yes to a finger up the bum! Hahaa they love it really 😂

Yeah FW chat is all fun and games and sex and then the next two weeks is like AHHHH let me assess every single thing in my body 🤣

@Ltay2 yess I reckon you've ovulated but you might still have caught it! 🥰 xxx

OnNaturesCourse · 22/05/2020 18:06

@33Carr yeh, its definitely better for TTC to help the wee guys along a bit!

33Carr · 22/05/2020 18:03

@OnNaturesCourse We have always finished at the same time but I'm sure someone else said something about it's better finishing after their DP has so I'm gonna have to give it a go tonight!

lucyrp · 22/05/2020 17:58

@blodyn91 slimming world is really good I think I've eaten more on the slimming world diet than I actually did before! 😂 I'm trying to get out walking most days and running twice a week

blodyn91 · 22/05/2020 17:56

well done on your weight loss stories, just make sure you don't starve your bodies! And plenty of omega 3 around conception and implantation- salmon/ linseed 😘
I've cut down on my hard interval workouts and just enjoying my slow runs and cycling at the moment, exercising really helped me during corona. Yoga also good, been trying to do some stretches during lunch to help keep motivated whilst working from home

OnNaturesCourse · 22/05/2020 17:41

CD14 and its the big O day. DTD last night but won't be today cos I've buggered my back/neck and actually feel so crappy and dizzy with it 😭 so I'm hoping last night's deposit does the trick.

This might be TMI but does anyone find the little swimmers make your orgasm more intense? We've been using condoms for 2 years, and have climaxed together since TTC however last night I finished after him and by jesus it was intense.

I definitely remember why I never used to like condoms!!! (unfortunately I can't take most other contraception 😭)

lucyrp · 22/05/2020 17:39

@Mococo1 Thank you! It is such hard work losing weight! I gave up as soon as we hit lockdown because I was trying not to go to the shop so much because of how hectic it's been and couldn't get online delivery slots so was just eating everything and anything in the cupboards and freezer! I was walking quite a lot at the beginning then had a lazy period when I thought I was pregnant and thought oh no point now but hoping to get back on top of it now while TTC and doing exercise will hopefully help that too!

Mococo1 · 22/05/2020 17:35

@lucyrp well done! I really wanted to Lose the weight before we start TTC but ended up preg! Thought I will start now whilst ttc and will try maintain if I do get pregnant and lose it all after! I lose a measly 0.5/1pound a week so would take me ages to lose the 20lbs and I cba to wait another 7/8months!

@frankleybear I'm convinced the pill made me gain weight!

@notyetamumbuttrying don't worry my DH is vanilla too 😂

lucyrp · 22/05/2020 17:20

I wouldn't use the contraceptive injection again personally. It made me gain a load of weight and made me depressed. Both of which I didn't realise until I stopped I having it. Contraception is horrific for women 😩

Ltay2 · 22/05/2020 17:17

@Franklydear I stopped taking the combined pill years ago because I thought it was making me feel depressed which I guess is similar in ways. I was going to try the coil but my GP advised me not to as I had negative experiences on mini pill before and was told it's similar to that. I've never been a fan of condoms so I did some research and then happened across Natural Cycles app and have been using that ever since for prevention. Basically works exactly the same as TTC but the opposite and is £40 per year for the app then all you need is a thermometer and your LH (OPK) strips.

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/05/2020 17:16

I'm glad I'm not the only one who married a vanilla man then lol! I'd forgotten I even had my sex toys until you lot reminded me lol! Have just asked DH where I put them lol! I think I'll have to invest in new ones considering I've not touched them in years 🙈
@SmileyT @lucyrp you two sound like me with the wind up around putting stuff up his bum 😂 he's a firm no but I still tease lol!

HJen22 · 22/05/2020 17:13

Hi everyone Smile

I'm new to mumsnet and TTC #1, have not long turned 32. Came off the mini pill end of March, had AF (sort of) April and since then started tracking ovulation/period with an app (purely just to initially track periods as I was concerned after being on the pill so long with no period they might take months to come back). Didn't get any pre-AF symptoms last month so actually thought I may be pregnant (thinking wow surely it's not going to be that easy!) but then AF arrived today - a day late and just when I was considering a test. A bit disappointed, but then on the upside at least I know / hopefully I'm into a proper routine as this one seems heavier than last time already (sorry TMI) so I guess I was ovulating. Read that the first one after the pill is withdrawal so I guess this is the first one.

Wishing everyone best of luck this month!
