Hi all,

@Ams19 thank you, we will all get our rainbow baby when the times right. Our bodies are waiting for that perfect egg ❤❤

Neady1980 · 13/03/2021 10:30

@Mellous 100% bring on the next cycle. AF should be arriving tomorrow or monday although by the way I've been feeling I thought it would be here sooner 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

AMS19 · 13/03/2021 10:27

@Neady1980 oh I'm sorry!! Onwards to the next cycle. You ARE going to get this rainbow baby ❤❤

@dippyegg32 it's probably just too early lovely for a CB!! Test again in a day or two xx

Insisting even!

@PlantMummy87 ahh thanks for the tip lovely I've just downloaded. Won't follow it religiously but keen to do it eveey other day to let it "build back up". I tried to do it less this time but my husband kept inviting he had "reloaded and so it was fine" 😂😂😂

Neady1980 · 13/03/2021 10:14

@Mellous it's a BFN but I'm actually ok with that, I think because I knew deep down I wasnt. Heres to next month 😁😁.

@Dippyegg32 I'm so sorry it's a chemical hopefully AF shows up soon for you x

So it's a chemical for me ladies. All other tests negative. Just want af to hurry up now. sending so much luck to all of you with positives xx

PlantMummy87 · 13/03/2021 09:58

@Mellous I tried preseed last cycle for the first time, and it was fine, used it like normal lube not with the insertion bit. Obviously didn't get the outcome I wanted, but don't think it was that that was the problem, more just I don't think my cycle had stabilised properly until this current cycle I'm in. Haven't used it this month as had been getting myself so stressed doing everything I decided to just go with the flow when it came to dtd.

For those interested the SMEP is free on Amazon Kindle and a very quick book to read. We've not been fully following SMEP this month but picked up the key points from it and will maybe try it fully next month if this month isn't successful.

@Neady1980 good luck lovely xx

@Mellous it definitely wouldn't put me of,extra celebrations. I'm of to test now as just woke up but honestly think it's a waste because AF is on the way

KJLM · 13/03/2021 09:41

@Mellous @AMS19 I’ll give it a try next cycle. I saw the little tubes with the inserting part and I drew the line at those.
I read about SMEP but it is also just adds to my stress thinking when to dtd- for just now I’ll continue to try to every second day.

@Mellous a Christmas baby would be lovely! I think before I would have always veered against it but in the grand scheme of things it’s just a date and I’d have a baby on Christmas Day! Double celebrations!!

AMS19 · 13/03/2021 09:39

@Mellous ha mine for next cycle is 24 Dec! I'm cracking on now, not stopping for anything. If its a Christmas baby so be it, I'll take anything at this point 😂😂

According to fertility friend if I conceive next cycle I’d be due 26th December 🙈 does this put anyone off?! For me it’s not ideal but I’m not willing to stop trying for a month. If I get a BfP next month it’ll be a 3rd wedding anniversary present for us ❤️

@Mellous @KJLM I don't think it's better but just as good. Some people prefer it. I'm going for the normal lube one so not the one you use the tubes to insert. We would use lube pre TTC so shouldn't be anything different. My temps are quite high in the first half of my cycle and I've heard this can mean more dryness. I also get very little ewcm. So feels like a good thing to try!

@KJLM haha I’ve put off trying it before for that reason but next cycle in upping the ante! Just explained SMEP to my husband and he can’t stop laughing at the term “baby dance” 😂

@AMS19 @Mellous I ordered the conceive plus from Amazon 🙈 we’ve not used it as to be honest when I opened the box and saw the little tube I honestly cringed to myself. Considering everything else is so regulated with dtd just now and my husband probably feels used as I only want to have sex during the fertile window (don’t want to use up all the good sperm🙈😂) that I’ve guessed if I whip out lube to help his little swimmers swim I think he’d be pretty deflated!! But then...why do we get all the stress? I might try next cycle if I am brave enough to bring it up!

@AMS19 I’ve heard a lot about SMP but don’t actually know what it is! I’ll do some research. Is the conceive plus meant to be better than the preseed? x

OP posts:
AMS19 · 13/03/2021 09:13

@Mellous sounds like a good plan. We had planned to do SMEP but got carried away the weekend I ovulated and did it 4 times in 24 hours so not ideal! I havent tried in but plan to next cycle. The conceive plus one though

@AMS19 haha well I’m wondering if we try dtd every other day, this cycle we did it like 4-5 days in a row and I don’t know if that’s too much. Going to make sure my husband takes his well man as he’s a bit slack with taking them. Also has anyone tried preseed?

Decided to switch over to ovia pregnancy, had been putting it off but it won't change the outcome so went for it and it still had all my old data in it when I downloaded it, told me I would have been 21 weeks now! I had consciously stopped counting a long time ago but that hurt! 😭

Tealchoc · 13/03/2021 08:51

I’m just catching up with all the news!
@Pettylamby your lines look super! I’m so happy for you that they are getting stronger 💪🏻
@dippyegg32 congrats on your faint positive! So exciting!

I’m only 4dpo but will probably test a week today

AMS19 · 13/03/2021 08:24

@Mellous I'm so sorry. But yes onwards! Let's hear all about your plan and we can cheer you on! Xx
