TTC Thread #3

I'm in week 2 of TWW now, so obviously overthinking every twinge and tickle! AF usually comes between fri-sun and my parents coming to stay on Friday, so may test Friday morning. Would prefer to hold out until Monday, but would want to know before they come so I'm put out of my misery before they get here. Hope everyone else is holding up ok!

Thanks @bramleyapples13 @daffodil21, another hilarious joke our bodies play on us! We were joking that it's like my body saying "right enough sex, leave me alone now or I'll likely murder you".

Glad you have some visitors to distract you @daffodil21, although those last 5 days are a real horror. Steal their keys so they can't leave?

@bramleyapples13 @daffodil21 I'm just not sure yet, nearly. Maybe 😂

@daffodil21 sometimes a distraction from symptom spotting is just what you need

@Bam27 I'm this week too. Due Thursday but I won't test unless I'm late.

@Daffodil21 a year already? Are you doing okay? I hope you've had fun having guests 😊

@Tofu35 I was angry at everything last week but aren't due AF until this Thursday. Everything just got my goat and for some reason, 3am became a wonderful time to wake up for no reason! 😭

I think @Welliedays it's definitely congratulations time! Surely!

I think I ovulated on Thurs/Friday this week, although today I've been in a PMS style rage. I looked it up and seems it's common after ovulation. First time I've noticed this- anyone else experience this early PMS?

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a good weekend 😊
I'm 12 dpo today and literally dreading AF arriving! I'm sure she will arrive tho as I'm not having any symptoms, I have sore boobs but I have that every month. Haven't tested and won't unless AF is late.
Anyone else due AF this week?
@WellieDays congratulations! So happy for you x

@Welliedays whoop whoop on those lines!

Currently on CD 44 and still no sign of AF. Another BFN too... So frustrating when I just want to either have a BFP or have AF so can start TTC... It's like my body is playing games with my mind

@aokbaby, yes definitely wait, if that's you just implanting it takes a couple of days for hormones to build up

@Welliedays thankyou, I tested yday using an IC but negative. I think I'll wait it out and text at end of week🤞🤞

@aokbaby thank you! It was exactly before AF was due, but not sure what dpo as I don't track (somewhere around 8/9dpo),bur I think it can be common around the time AF is due too. Mine was one time I wiped a tiny bit of pink and then I had a light browny coloured spot later that day.. And that was it. It sounds promising. If it is implantation give it probably 3 days and try a frer test with FMU... Fingers crossed for you

@Welliedays when did you get your implantation bleed? Was there much? My af is 2/3 days late and had one small bit of pinky discharge when wiping this morning, had cramps all week and bad back pain so expecting af, no pain or cramps today so far. I've taken b6 this cycle and it can lengthen leutal phase so haven't ruled out at showing up but fingers crossed x

@Welliedays brilliant, delighted for you 💕

Happy Sunday everyone, how are we all doing today?

@Welliedays it's great to see those lines getting darker, great news :)

I retested today girls. The frer on its own was last Sunday, and the two together are this morning. AF was due on Thursday so last Sunday was very early.

Still not quite believing it after my chemical last month, but hopefully this one has a higher chance of sticking now! Due date would be 29 April according to an online calculator

@Acaciabluebell The thing with pre seed is that it's not some miracle pregnancy product. Sperm like to swim through EWCM, sperm also like to swim through pre seed. It's handy if you feel you don't produce enough or just need to feel like you're doing everything you can. I personally don't bother with it outside of my fertile window. Equally if I go up to bed first and use it, but don't get lucky there's no harm done. Yes there's the cost implication, but I've made sacrifices elsewhere to pay for my CB OPK/ Pre seed/ Pregnacare addiction!

@BellaBella84 @Tofu35 @Dogscanlookup forgot to tag!

R.e preseed I haven't managed to use it yet in the past 4 days that we've been dtd. I was planning to put it in 5-10 mins beforehand but I'm finding it harding to predict when to do it as we tend to be quite spontaneous!! Maybe I'll just try to make sure I use it on the days that I think I'm ovulating? Are you supposed to use it every time?

We used the babydance lube this month and conceived! I dunno if it helped but it couldn’t do harm! We kinda giggled using it and he did it for me making it kinda hot haha! But I can see how it can be a mood killer!

@Tofu35@acaciabluebell The thing with pre seed is it is just not up there on the romance scale! I try to get up to bed before my OH so that I can use it without him having to see. 🙄 I mean that applicator alone has got to be a passion killer, but also he might also possibly think that I might be overthinking things! (Strong chance that's also true 🤣)

Anyone any experience taking 50mg of b6?

Hope your MN holiday was good @acaciabluebell! I'm loving your optimism and positivity, like a ray of sunshine :)
Tomorrow I'm starting the TWW (I think, although always waste another ovulation test just to check...). We have pre-seed in the drawer, although think we're using it wrong- just using it as a normal lube rather than how some of the MN-ers seem to use it (15 mins before sex).

Hey everyone! Thanks @Daffodil21 for making the new thread. Took a week's break from MN and come back to multiple BFPs!! Congratulations to all!! Amazing news.

I'm on CD8 so just started a new cycle - fresh start and I'm feeling optimistic. I've bought some Preseed that I'm a bit nervous to try out. Anyone around the same place in their cycle as me? (I can see a lot of people are in their TWW)

Good luck with the temperature checking, I use natural cycles- it's now just part of my normal routine (and useful for giving some hints for when I should expect ovulation and AF). Although it's a bit torturous in the TWW because I'm constantly watching my temp and looking for signs! But I'd be looking for signs anyway...
