TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)

@VP9x I know right ... the days where youd want the long sessions are gone ... I want a 5 minute job aha. I think hes always wanted to make sure I'm satisfied first and always done that .. whereas for the fertile week I just wanna say dont focus on that .... haha but also dont wanna kill the mood lol where it's like I'm just thinking of a transaction lol x x
Yeah thanks hun I'll try not think into all that at all 🙄 xx

Aw amazing @Ejb86 xx that'll deffo take the pressure off with thinking you need to DTD every other day for the next week too ... sometimes seeing that peak is almost as exciting as seeing a BFP Lol.. I'm like wooop... just makes you feel reassured I guess xxx fingers crossed for you this is a good sign for this month ....

@VP91x I'm jealous of your quickies haha hour sessions can often loose the romance too ... lol
I've never used FF app I may give it a go. Does it allow you to put in previous data ? I thought ava may let me do that but I'm actually finding that pretty rubbish too .. the app doesnt let you do much and just shows you data but then I kinda dont know what I'm looking for... do my breaths per minute tell me when I've ovulated or something ..!? Who knows haha . .
Yeah I feel like femometer keeps telling me off for not inputting stuff but I dont bother doing CP /CM and inputting stuff like that as I dont even see a pattern with that myself .but yeah itll also be my bad temping at the mo not helping . Looked back at the last cycle I did temping and it gave me a cover line and the temps after ovulation were generally higher but I wouldnt say massively so it did concern me but also think I'm looking into it too much and dont wanna stress as that doesnt help !! Xx

@VP91x hubby can only manage every other day, so we'll go again tomorrow. Maybe being back at work and not thinking about it all day long has really made a difference!?

*@Ejb86 I mean I'm 8dpo no CD8 x

I'll add the pic this time

@VP91x look look! Just went back to my strip! Glad we dtd last night! Looks like the EWCM doesn't lie! Just wish I'd dtd a bit more now! This is so early for me!

@SmileyT aw bless him . I think it does with DH too but he doesnt really say and I try not to tell him too much about the days I'm planning DTD hah just start trying it on but he kinda knows it's my fertile week so must kinda feel the pressure. I've wanted to use the lubes too and when we got going I'd stop go in bedside drawer whip out the CP mini tube and put it in me ... and think it made him think oh I ddffo have to perform .. so now when I think we will be DTD I go bathroom first and insert it there so doesnt even know . I used the pre seed more this cycle that CP as the tube and the little applicator things are in my bathroom cabinet.
Buuut I still feel like he feels pressure when he knows he needs to perform as DTD lasts longer than our usual really ..its bloody exhausting. This cycle each time was deffo like an hour sesh. When it's got to be done every other day then like 3 days in a row I'm like wishing for a 5 min quickly haha . The hour sessions are our workouts for the day combined too I guess lol .... xxx
Let us know how you get on with researching it :) it could deffo work and deffo be less pressure. You could just do a bit of both xx

@Ejb86 hope you see your peak soon relax and enjoy DTD :) xx
I'm okay. CD8 trying so hard not to symptom spot as have convinced myself I must be pg based on symptoms before to not be .... x must carry on being occupied:) xx

@VP91x hahaha love that you say femometer is being a bellend as I'm feeling the same this cycle ... haha I normally swear by it and every month it is so spot on but this cycle ... its peeing me off. Buuut it could also be my fault due to bad temping with the puppy .. but I did the 7 day free trial for the analysis stuff too. I've cancelled that now to make sure they dont charge me as its annoyed me this month hah . Despite the fact it does have like 7 to 8 months of my data it moved my ovulation date way way out this cycle because of my fluctuating temps so I ended up having to confirm it manually with my opks.

The analysis thing delightfully told me this morning that as my temps haven't hugely increased from prior to ovualtion to after ovualtion that I have luteal deficiency... of course I'm googling this this morning at 5am and it means low progesterone in luteal phase... can cause MC as it means thin lining and can hinder implantation. So I'm laying here thinking I have it and considering ordering a progesterone test for next cycle.... but then I'm like I need to be rational... my temps are bad because my sleep is bad right now and I think when they say the deficiency is linked to MC I think it's more likely the natural kind of MC where you bleed .. I had a MMC (no bleeding) which I would imagine has more to do with chromosomes than my lining .. and plus I dont have any of the symptoms of the deficiency which is spotting between periods, mood swings , irregular periods etc .... but of course here I am still now worried that I have an issue .... 🤷‍♀️😓🙄 xxxx

@Renna yeah I think sex must be better but DP was saying that because you put it straight up into cervix and then have the cup so you get no leakage it was better, I'm very on the fence. I have a feeling that the pressure is getting to him and he thinks it'll reduce some of it, I dunno xx

@VP91x what's up with femometer I've heard a few people saying recently they aren't a fan of it tbh, I've just upgraded my FF app, just because I wanted to look at more graphs. Probably completely unnecessary because the chart doesn't help me get pregnant 😂 and yeah been looking at putting the semen in the cup then inserting the cup but I'm also thinking that this may completely take the romance out of things and not sure whether 3 months in its a bit much 🤦🏾‍♀️ glad you're not stressing, like you say it happened last month later than expected but still happened so no point panicking as you know it'll come xx

@Bellabubble aw love it haha one of my nick names for my pup is batman because her ears are so pointy up her shadow literally looks like batman lmao x
@SmileyT AI idea very interesting not gonna lie some months I've thought to myself with all the DTD and when its felt pressured shall I say to DH just go do your thing and give me your sperm in a cup yeah ... ?? Haha less pressure ... think hed may be offended if I was the one to suggest that though lol . It must work as obvs same sex couples do it but I would also say DTD seems like better odds because you get the forceful ejaculatation? Xx

Hi @VP91x what is your CB saying today? How are you feeling? And yep it's CD1 for me, putting this cycle at 28 days with another 13 day LP, my body may not be ready to conceive but I'm bloody regular. Haha definitely not too personal it's just DP suggested it and apparently it can increase odds, I'm not sure how this is true so I need to do more reading before ovulation 😂

Hey @VP91x @Renna I'm cd15 today so should be ovulating some time in the next week based on previous cycles.

You both ok?

@Bellabubble I am generally the same with wishing my life away and that's why I keep trying to tell myself that it will happen in August so I'm not disappointed when it doesn't happen each month. It's hard but it's better than the rollercoaster that comes with convincing myself every month that it has happened which I did the first month and made me miserable. Think we are going to try at home insemination this month so let's see how we get on with that 🧐

@renna it is yeh!! She had a big butt as a pup and she wobbled about, so we used to call her Bella bubble 😂 Bless little shelby!! I like to think it’s a sign that they are super happy and feel sace with us to sleep like that xx

Aw hah @Bellabubble take it that's where your username comes from :):) ?
My username is one of my middle names but feel like I should have used my puppies name... Shelby .. haha xx she often sleeps like bella there too haha .. the pic attached she is under my work desk whilst I was working haha xx
