Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

@PrettyPinkPansies
Ah yes well fingers crossed and its good that you fall pregnant quite hopefully you wont have to wait long xx

@Incrediblytired we use conceive plus and with my DS we got pregnant first cycle after coming off the pill without a period in between. With my MC we got pregnant second cycle. Hoping it works with this one too x

@MgW1 no he hasn't had anything done yet and we don't know how long he'll have to wait. My friend has been waiting since December 2019 for an SA! Don't want to wait that long

@Dogmum13
I had a private ultrasound booked but cancelled duento snow and got it done on nhs in end , it was good though cos they can check ovaries and fallopian tubes etc, has you husband done a sample ? @PrettyPinkPansies well I arent cool actually , i had a month of stressing and now have resorted to the fact that stressing out wont change the outcome!!! Xxx

@MgW1 I think I'm going to give up on testing tbh. I opened a new one and there is a line on it even before it's used so think just ignore it unless it's a proper really obvious line. I'm beginning to think it won't happen naturally for us and actually looking into getting some private tests done to see what is/if something is wrong

Right I’ve got the clear blue 2 day OTKs from Amazon...has anyone used these? I’m a bit scared 2 days is putting all the eggs in one basket but I guess if it’s the right basket....

Also lube...anyone using a particular lube? Like pre seed? I’ve got a normal non spermicide one - but worrying it’ll be a problem...has anyone had any experiences either way?

Also @bubblegeek22 I really really hope this happens for you, your story is heartbreaking and I will be sending positive vibes your way x

@Dogmum13
Why dont you just order a FRER from amazon ? Cos then you cant test til monday and then younwill have an accurate result by then. Or do what i did and test with your hudands wee and then if their is still a line they are dodgy but if not it could be start of something?? Xx

@Anotherboy welcome and all the very best of luck for number 3!

I breastfed my first for almost 12 months and periods didn’t come back till I’d finished feeding! But I think I was on the long side of things! However if you saw a peak that’s really good news for the next ttc journey xx

@PrettyPinkPansies yeah think I'll look into something different for next cycle

@Dogmum13 maybe try a different brand xx

@MgW1 @PrettyPinkPansies I did another one this am and it was the same. Think I need to bin the tests 🙄

@MgW1 I wish I had your level of cool! I'm just getting upset because it's so unfair and every day that has followed just feels rubbish until we get that pregnancy again

@PrettyPinkPansies
Stop stressing and testing you will drive your self mad!! Normal to get discharge leading up to AF or in early pregnancy. Wait for your period him and if you dont get it , do a test. Iv stopped drinking now til my period but treat myself to some ben and jerrys and im in with a good series on Netflix , try distract yourself because you have a few more days now left til your period , we have all been there !! 🤪 xxx

TMI photo but does this look like the start of AF? Due on in 4 days. 11DPO. Feel like there's no point in even testing anymore.

It's so different this time around, I don't think we dtd for about a year after ds1!

Thanks! Mixed feeding, he gets a bottle at night and bf in day. That's what I'm worried about, I did on opk last week and def saw a peak so maybe I'm gearing up. Periods came back 8 weeks pp last time with ebf! I never understand how things can be so variable. The next couple of weeks will tell!

Welcome @Anotherboy! I take my hat of to you even wanting to DTD 11 weeks PP but I understand your reasoning! Are you BF your youngest as that could make conceiving difficult for you?

Hey I'd love to join you all on this journey! Currently have two ds (5yrs and 11 weeks) and ttc the final addition to our family (at 38 age is not on our side!). We struggled to conceive ds 2, it took 2 years and 2 mc, so even though our youngest is still tiny we want to crack on! Periods haven't returned yet so it's anyone's guess what's going on. Congrats to those with their bfp already.

Hey guys! Is anyone good with charts? I'm due to ovulate in a few days but after cramps last night it really felt like I ovulated. I'm still having flashing faces on cb opk (but had to start a new one yday due to dropping it down the sink 🤦🏼‍♀️) and ICs didn't get a peak. My chart showed a spike this morning ... does this look like I've ovulated? As you can see the beginning of my chart looks mad due to chemical pregnancy

@littlebird & ladies - i have ordered FRER from AYP pharmacy as recommended by @Litttlebird. Works out £8 for 4 tests so pretty good value. Xx

@LAgeDeRaisin a whole 7 days early is crazy to be getting BFP! That's not helping my early testing obsession at all 😂

@RHODXB how are you doing now?

@Dogmum13
I had a prob with easy@home last month xx

@PrettyPinkPansies @LAgeDeRaisin BFN, but that's ok as it was a long shot. I actually think it's helped calm me down a bit and now I'm going to hold off testing again for a few days.

@organised5 how did you get on?
@Dogmum13 maybe try again tomorrow?
