Hi all, hope everyone is ok.
@gypsywater I'm 34 ttc #1. Day 8 of cycle 8. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies.

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/06/2020 15:49

It's nice we're all trying for number 1. How special are these babies going to feel when we finally get them!! 😃

gypsywater · 07/06/2020 15:49

A few of us are 34 then!
@notyetamumbuttrying I'm counting since the start of the year, so in Cycle 6 atm. I think have had sex in all of the fertile windows since then but hard to say for sure and certainly no sign of a BFP! Wouldnt say have been having nearly enough sex tho, sometimes only like twice in a cycle and that's clearly got me nowhere!!!

Wouldn't that be lovely @gypsywater Smile
How long have you been ttc? Sorry if I've already asked this! 🙈

gypsywater · 07/06/2020 15:42

We've got a good variety of ages on here then! Praying this is the month for us all!

MrsCOR · 07/06/2020 15:39

@notyetamumbuttrying - I will have a look, thanks!!

@gypsywater - I am 24 ttc #1! DH is 26. This is cycle 7 after almost 7 months.

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/06/2020 15:32

@gypsywater 34 ttc #1 too! 9 months now.

Oh haven't tried any of it @MrsCOR, it was @Hoping41 that posted it. If you look at earlier posts you'll see the chat about it.

Swifty2 · 07/06/2020 15:25

30 TTC baby number 1!

Aokbaby · 07/06/2020 15:21

33 TTC baby no1

Nat4392 · 07/06/2020 15:20

@gypsywater I’m 28 TTC DC1 x

MrsCOR · 07/06/2020 15:18

@notyetamumbuttrying

That was an interesting read. Have you tried the castor oil and massage ones?? I will literally try anything at this point.

I think I am probably 11dpo today rather than 10, ovulation on 27th May.

gypsywater · 07/06/2020 15:18

How old are you guys? Sorry if already mentioned before! I'm 35 next week and TTC #1

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/06/2020 15:09

Welcome @MrsCOR! @Hoping41 posted this link earlier... go.mumsnet.com/?xs=1&id=470X1554755&url=raisedgood.com/five-fertility-secrets-wish-id-known-sooner/

Hi everyone!

Thought I'd join in as I've reached the 7 month mark after 7 cycles of all BFNs. Not even a squinter!

Anyway - think I am 10dpo today based on clearblue digital instructions as had a solid smiley on 26th May.

BFN this morning and AF due around Thursday 11th June. Had sore bbs but they've stopped hurting now which is typical before af. Haven't had any cramping at all really either. Only think I've had is feeling extra tired last 2 days.

Literally tried everything I can think of and nothing has helped. Anyone have any suggestions/tips?

Baby dust to you all! Grin

Nat4392 · 07/06/2020 14:42

@gypsywater I’m 10DPO with AF due Tuesday. Getting an old hand at the TWW lark now being on cycle 10!

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/06/2020 14:39

AF due 12th June @gypsywater it's felt like a really long tww this time round as well. It shouldn't though, been doing this for 9 months now 😫

gypsywater · 07/06/2020 14:32

Good luck everyone! I'm CD12 today and AF due 22nd June. How about others?

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/06/2020 14:32

Thanks ladies @Swifty2 and @Hoping41 have downloaded down dog. I've never been very good at yoga as I'm not very flexible but will give it another go.

Same @Nat4392!! Mines always let me initiate as well so if I don't, we don't end up doing it at all! This has been so draining even though I've said over and over that it's ok for him to initiate but he never does 🤷🏾‍♀️

Aokbaby · 07/06/2020 14:30

@gypsywater gonna try that this cycle too, we were doing it every day last cycle, very tedious! Just bought pre seed there too and trying for first time tonight, fingers crossed

Nat4392 · 07/06/2020 14:19

@gypsywater I want to try and do it every other day but when it’s so regimented it turns into a job rather than doing it when we want to. Honestly I’ve found the hardest part of TTC (obviously apart from not getting pregnant) is just trying to DTD regularly without it becoming a chore! DH really struggled with it last month and said he feels like a see him as a sperm factory rather than me wanting to DTD just because.

gypsywater · 07/06/2020 14:12

@Swifty2 Gotta be worth a try. I do worry that fertility apps could lead to completely missing the right days! Every other day sounds exhausting tho Grin

PinkFlamingoGirl · 07/06/2020 14:04

Very interested in the yoga!! I workout a fair bit but I never make time for yoga. I'm quite impatient so always get really bored doing it. I should be more mindful and keep practising. It's on my list now for next week. Include yoga sessions!

Away for a nosey of 5 fertility secrets I'd wish I'd know- will give it a google and also the 'I felt something move thread!'

Swifty2 · 07/06/2020 13:58

@gypsywater I'm going to try that this cycle coming. If I've learnt anything about my body so far is that it doesn't do what I expect it to so I think I can't really rely on opks and bbt so dtd every other day sounds like a reasonable thing to try!
