@ELM7 can you get on top and do the work?
Or as any said self insemination. I mean a home one just to not lose this opportunity...
But i feel your pain.

@Annny27 damnnn i was also excited 😁
Treat yourself then enjoy your virtual hen do x
I do have watery CM in my good months only. Otherwise it's not much cm...

Annny27 · 17/06/2020 11:59

@ELM7 ah that sucks! There still is a small chance!

This might be too much for you but have you considered self insemination? I have seen a few threads of women whose OH have issues dtd but they can still ejaculate and then the woman will insert the sperm with a syringe/pressed applicator. Its quite out there haha! But if he can't dtd it might be an option

Hands up if your body tricks you every month making you think oh potentially is this the month? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

AF arrived just as I had started to get excited that maybe I was pregnant. Month 7 here we come.......

@SunnySideUp2020 do you have wattery cm in your fertile window then?

@scrumdiddly123 same, before miscarriage I would have wattery for a week or so then few days of ewcm. Now its just ewcm throughout haha

Just want to give up on this TTC shit.

Just got peak on OPK but hubby has hurt his back and can barely move so don't see any chance of DTD.
Last did it on Sat so doubt there’s any chance this month of a BFP. At least I won’t be symptom spotting in the TWW.

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/06/2020 10:56

@scrumdiddly
@Annny27 i wish i had even one hour of ewcm during ovulation 😁😁😁
This is definitely a good thing ladies !!!

And Anny it does sound very promising 😇

scrumdiddly123 · 17/06/2020 09:55

Oooh @Annny27 I really hope this is it! Sounds v promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I know it’s weird isn’t it. Before my miscarriages I would have a day or two and then get a peak! It’s frustrating not knowing whether we’re DTD in vain if OV is still a week away! My opk looked a bit darker this morning so hoping that continues and I get a peak soon!

Annny27 · 17/06/2020 09:39

Morning everyone :) bleeding is now brown and like the end of AF as opposed to the start of it which is weird - and my boobs are still bigger so AF definitely hasn't arrived yet so its either implantation bleeding or its a slow cruel start to AF (I'll take a wild guess at which one it is haha.....🙄🙄) so I am either 14dpo or cd3 😆🤣

@Leok83 so sorry AF has arrived:( always gutting! Especially when it gets further and further along. Can't believe we are onto months 6 and 7 now! This is my 6th month and if AF arrives properly it will be month 7 Aswell.

@Nuggetlover27 I wish I never knew implantation bleeding was a thing haha. Wish it was blood = period and not anything else:p when will you be "late"?

@ELM7 not too far away from Ovulation hopefully!

@scrumdiddly123 I wonder why we get so many days of ewcm compared to others!

@SunnySideUp2020 I have some FRERs arriving so if AF isn't here by tomorrow morning I'll test.....

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 17/06/2020 08:24

sorry AF got you @leok
13 dpo is a good luteal phase length 👌

The applicator is a bit rough ... yes. Haha
Hope it works for you though 😁

Leok83 · 17/06/2020 08:20

Morning ladies!

AF has arrived this morning did me 13DPO 😞. Anyways onto month 7 now . Test results won’t be back for 6 weeks anyways so at least if there’s an issue I can maybe do something about it can be treated if I get a BFP in future now. Definitely trying the preseed this month. The applicator sounds very fiddly alright but at this stage I’m willing to try it 😄

How’s everyone else?
@Annny27 did the bleeding stop again?

Nuggetlover27 · 17/06/2020 08:19

@Annny27 any news? the last couple of months for me when AF had arrived I have tried to convince myself it's IB. Mother Nature is cruel! It's so hard to let go of another month.
I've got stomach cramping again today but no sign of blood yet. Today is CD35 for me so I should be due on any day now. See how the day goes but trying to get my hopes up as don't really have massive symptoms.

Hope everyone is okay today

scrumdiddly123 · 16/06/2020 17:06

@Annny27 still having EWCM but tests still negative and faint so probably a few days away at least!

ELM7 · 16/06/2020 16:43

Hi Ladies sorry been quiet. Hope you are all doing ok.

@Annny27 really sorry that it looks like AF is making an appearance.

Back to POAS here with OPKs showing high today so hopefully will hit peak over the next couple of days.

Annny27 · 16/06/2020 16:30

I have 0 hopes of it being anything other than a cruel trick by mother nature 🤣🤣🤣

@scrumdiddly123 any sign of ovulation yet?

@sunnysideup2020 will you test around 11dpo then?

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 16/06/2020 16:20

Everything crossed for you @Annny27

scrumdiddly123 · 16/06/2020 14:41

@Annny27 that sounds promising that it isn’t how AF would normally start for you, fingers crossed it’s IB! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Annny27 · 16/06/2020 11:23

@sunnysideup2020 not tested yet, if she doesn't get heavier by tomorrow I may consider it. Just feel like my bodies tricking me again :/ haha

@fizzl yep I suspect progesterone is my only issue but it will make me feel better if my thyroid results come back all good :)

@nuggetlover27 any sign of AF for you?

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 16/06/2020 11:04

@Annny27 are you thinking IB? 🤞
Have you tested at all? Or maybe d
An opk?

@Nuggetlover27 5 dpo today AF not due until 26. Will prob test in a week
Sorry AF seems to be on its way for you x

Nuggetlover27 · 16/06/2020 10:52

Morning ladies

@Annny27 so sorry to hear AF has arrived for you. I know how hard this is and know you're not alone. We are all going through it with you

Congratulations @Mococo1 ! It gives me hope when one of us gets a BFP

Have you had any signs of AF yet @SunnySideUp2020 ?

Sorry that it doesn't sound hopeful @Leok83 but at least AF hadn't arrived yet 🤞🏻 I am still very tired but no other symptoms. Had some light cramping today and yesterday so thinking AF may be on its way 🙁

Fizzl · 16/06/2020 10:50

@Nuggetlover27 yeah shopping was a good distraction! I also sat in my mums garden for a little while too and had a cuppa so that was nice too!

@Mococo1 congratulations! Thanks for all the tips too!

@Annny27 ah I'm sorry af arrived. Hopefully those bloods will be a good starting point tho and will pick up anything obvious with clotting or thyroid which are pretty important when ttc!

@Hopesandrainbows pregnancy announcements are hard. Nobody I knew was pregnant when I found out I was last year and now it feels like all of a sudden everyone (except me) has managed to conceive around me. I have 3 friends now due between aug-dec. I need to start thinking about planning a baby shower for 1 friend and I'm dreading it! And then I feel like a selfish awful friend for even feeling this way.

@Ejb86 sounds like things are heading in the right direction for you!

@Leok83 how are you today? Has AF stayed away?

Annny27 · 16/06/2020 10:39

Thanks for all your love ladies 💗 its actually a bit weird and making me doubt whether its AF......well if it is AF then its very slow starting. I had brown spotting 11dpo then yesterday 12dpo had some red so though oh AF is here but then nothing was on the pad only when I wipe. And now its just brown again.

I am feeling quite crampy so she will probably start back up again tonight but usually when I see red blood AF comes in full force!

OP posts:
Leok83 · 15/06/2020 20:54

@Ejb86 yay that's great for ovulation so early! Thats going to feel like the wait is so much shorter for you this month hopefully!

Leok83 · 15/06/2020 20:53

@Annny27 I'm so sorry AF has arrived😢I think I'm probably going to be following you tomorrow too. We just need to stay positive tho, we'll get there in the end although I bloody wish that end would hurry the hell up!!! Had bloods today at hospital and the obgyn was smiling and saying just folic acid and keep trying like it was a mantra of his! frustrating and all as it is it must work eventually!!

@Nuggetlover27 no AF yet but have had the cramps and deflated boobs and a slight temp drop all suggesting it'll be here on time tomorrow. How about you, any symptoms yet?

@Mococo1 congratulations!

Ejb86 · 15/06/2020 18:59

@SunnySideUp2020 sooooo satisfying! I was bouncing around the room! 8 days earlier than last month is an incredible change.

Mococo1 · 15/06/2020 18:58

@annny27 so sorry to hear about

@annny27 so sorry you're going through this! Totally know how you feel my colleague at work was a week ahead of me in pregnancy and I had a MC and she's still going so I'm glad I'm In lockdown as although she's lovely and supportive I couldn't help but think that I would have been at the same point as her! I also forgot to say..does your partner take any vitamins? Might be worth a try sorry I'm not up to date with the thread incase you've mentioned before!

@fizzl hugs to you hope your body gets back to normal soon it's so frustrating being in limbo ☹️

@hopeandrainbows fingers crossed you catch this month! 🤞🏽

@abi0795 sorry about your loss hun ☹️ sending you hugs! I didn't take the tablets and had a MC just shy of 7weeks. I personally wish I had as I had the same experience as @sunnysideup the loss of tissue and passing of material Over a few days quite frankly traumatised me...it also took a good 6.5 weeks for my period to return as I still had HCG in my system whilst my body tried to naturally miscarry

Couple of more tips ladies from other threads

  • personally I only used half the lube from each conceive plus applicator as it was way too much
-men have a high sperm count in the morning apparently -I think I conceived both times with sofa sex 🤣
