As soon as AF disappears, which will be soon 🤞 me & my partner will be ttc :)
I've been keeping an eye on my cycles for a little while using the flo app & have been taking pregnacare.
Is there anything else we should know or do to help prepare ourselves? :)
Exited to go on this roller coaster of a journey & as no one knows of our plans would be lovely to hear off people ttc too :) xx

@beckyBP when’s AF due - is it Saturday too? Do you usually get any spotting on the lead up? Good luck and let us know ❤️❤️❤️❤️

RLou3 · 16/09/2020 21:45

@beckyBP @rosiej95 honestly I’m like a psycho - I’ve used 2 frers and 2 digital clear blues and then I had some cheap ones come tonight and I’ve just done one of those. I was convinced I was pregnant! Was writing all of my symptoms day by day... it’s so consuming. I know I’ve said it before - but I just can’t relax or take it easy and just not be careful! I’m already looking into what tests are done for fertility! 😂😂😂 and this is month 1! I have a new found respect for those that are TTC past the first month!! I’m
Literally like - we had sex with a smiley face on cb ovulation stick.. how am I not pregnant!!!!!! 😩😩😩😩😩

beckyBP · 16/09/2020 21:40

Crazy right @rosiej95!! I'll let you girls know either way of course 😂

rosiej95 · 16/09/2020 21:37

@beckyBP omg wow! That's a massive sign! That is amazing!! omg imagine!! 🥰😍😍

@RLou3 could be still a little early for BFP? It's so hard not to keep testing tho isn't it! 🙈

beckyBP · 16/09/2020 21:33

@RLou3 saaaaame I saw 2 earlier and was frantically looking for more 😂😂🙈

Oh my bad! Sorry I'm shattered 😂

Yeah you definitely noticed pregnant people and babies more don't you. Aw doll ❤️ we'll get there eventually! Xx

RLou3 · 16/09/2020 21:25

@beckyBP omg no way!!! I totally believe in stuff like that!! So crazy, imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I never see 3 magpies and I have seen them twice this week!!! I need to ask the universe for a sign too now!!!!!!

oh no I meant spots on my face (not in my knickers 😂😂)

Oh I can’t stand this. I’ve tested again - I’m nuts! Nothing coming up at all! So annoying!

It’s so true - all I keep seeing is pregnant women or people with babies. Obviously we’re around before - but I’m just obsessed now !! So many of our circle are pregnant at the min - they’re all doing my head in (I’m clearly a jealous cow) xxxxxxx

beckyBP · 16/09/2020 21:02

@RLou3 aw it really is so hard isn't it. I think if one of my friends got pregnant now id be super happy for them but gutted at the same time!

That could defo be implantation bleed.. don't rule it out!

Yeh men just don't get it 😂 I think my fiancé thought it would happen first time and when it didn't it woke him up a bit to it.

So I know this sounds crazy but earlier I said to myself 'if only the universe could give me a sign to let me know if I was pregnant'
I just got home and there's an open 'congratulations on your baby boy' card on my hall stand. I said to my fiancé what's this and he was like a card that was sent to our address but obviously not for us.

Is that or is that not weird!!!!!

RLou3 · 15/09/2020 09:07

@beckyBP yeah also been really moody. But I don’t know if that’s just the stress of it all. I took a test (stupidly) yesterday and was BFN. I was fuming 😂😂😂 been having so much cramping and felt so sick yesterday morning. I was convinced that I must be pregnant. Suppose 7dpo is a bit early. So hopefully still in with a shot. But getting a couple of spots now.. which is usually AF. Due AF on Saturday but I’ll get spotting on Friday if I’m gna get my period. So annoying isn’t it. Can’t stop thinking of all my friends that got pregnant the first month they tried. Making me even more fuming 😂😂😂 I’m a nutter at the best of times, but this is really pushing me over the edge. Plus my husband is winding me up - I’m sure he thinks the fact that we DTD once in my fertile window, that’s it - I must be pregnant!! Which is really annoying me!! I think it’s making me feel even more pressured. How is your OH with the process? . Xxx

rosiej95 · 15/09/2020 07:54

Hmm I don't actually track ovulation as such atm I just go off my app which I know more then likely is not correct 🙈 but I have a plan. We never got chance to DTD in my apps fertile window & trying to do it fairly often in the couple of days afterwards to see if that works because my thinking is if it's out by a couple of days or whatever I might get the right day 🤷🏼‍♀️
Think I'm going to use them until they run out & then go from there.

@RLou3 hey Hun! Well I'm moody and got light cramping but I feel like that's always the case at this time on the cycle.

How about you?

I was reading loads last night about what actually happens when during the TWW as I actually don't know much about it x

RLou3 · 14/09/2020 09:14

@beckyBP how are you feeling? Any symptoms? Anything? I’m driving myself mad now xx

RLou3 · 14/09/2020 09:13

@rosiej95 I’ve also seen things about the seven seas ones.. messing up ovulation?! Maybe put a post out - sure you’ll get a lot of response. I’ve seen quite a few mentions on this xx

DNpink82 · 14/09/2020 08:55

@rosiej95 but it might be the pregnacare I've heard about 🙈 I just take folic acid, vit b12 and vit D

DNpink82 · 14/09/2020 08:49

@rosiej95 I've not heard good things about the seven seas, people say they effect ovulation I think

rosiej95 · 14/09/2020 08:35

@maudesid yes haha true 🙈😂

Has anyone ever tried the seven seas preconception vitamins before?
My usual pregnacare wasn't in stock so got these ones instead
There a lot smaller!!😍 & have the days on them like a pill packet which is pretty clever. Do you think it would matter swapping brands? 🤷🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
maudesid · 13/09/2020 19:09

Maybe once we've mastered actually DTD at least once at the right time hahaha

rosiej95 · 13/09/2020 16:43

that's what I've found this month loads leading up to it but at the crucial bit not as much!
Might just have to ban him on the lead up in future haha! 😂

OP posts:
RLou3 · 13/09/2020 12:09

@maudesid oh jeez! Yeah count me out of that one 😂😂😂

maudesid · 13/09/2020 11:27

@RLou3 Look up sperm meets egg plan, meant to optimise timings however involves a lot of sex! haha

RLou3 · 13/09/2020 09:23

Morning ladies - what is SMEP?? Xx

maudesid · 13/09/2020 09:09

@rosiej95 it's so frustrating isn't it! You don't want to nag and get annoyed because that's even more of a turn off but also kind of want to shout at them! I honestly don't get how people doing SMEP have sex 10/12 times in the fertile window!! Once would be nice haha

beckyBP · 13/09/2020 08:22

How frustrating @rosiej95 🙈 we missed the best days last month and I couldn't help being mad at him because we'd done jt plenty in the lead up 😂 but at the same time.. I didn't want it to be forced.

I've tried to do SMEP two months in a row but not quite for there

rosiej95 · 12/09/2020 23:11

I'm still just roughly going by my app atm. I know it's not as reliable but just seeing how it goes.
Day 3 of my fertile window & my BF has fell asleep every night so far after saying he just wants cuddles...
Keep telling him in order to make a baby you need to have sex 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 so frustrating

OP posts:
maudesid · 12/09/2020 18:46

@beckyBP definitely worth a shot I might have a browse now! Currently just taking folic acid with vitamin D and also Omega 3

beckyBP · 12/09/2020 18:07

That would literally be the best @RLou3 😂

Another ovulation buddy @maudesid totally know what you mean wishing away to the next cycle.
I buy them all on amazon. I mean I don't know if they do anything but worth a shot isn't it xx
