@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@hoola23 apparently pink grapefruit juice can increase cervical mucus!

MrsRosaline · 12/10/2021 18:07

Still no peak this afternoon. So hopefully in the morning it will come 😬

hoola23 · 12/10/2021 17:23

@MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty do I need to get on this juice vibe?! Which juice do you have to drink to make a baby?! I want a successful month so I'll take all the tips i can!! 🤣

MrsRosaline · 12/10/2021 16:27

Haha ok! I'm pretty sure the one I've got is pink. I can add 100ml of pomegranate too...

@MrsRosaline I don't know I just know it's pink grapefruit juice that's the one that's recommended-something to do with it's acidity! X

@newtolineofduty why pink??

Aims1991 · 12/10/2021 14:44

@newtolineofduty yeah it's pink grapefruit.
@MrsRosaline I've read pomegranate is meant to be amazing for trying.

@Aims1991 i also have grapefruit juice. What's with the pomegranate!?

MrsRosaline · 12/10/2021 13:55

@hoola23 if I ovulate next few days we won't be trying. I'm in two minds about it. I thought I wanted time to get over it etc. but now I'm ovulating so late I do feel better so wonder if I still want a proper period first... Probably best to wait. So roll on the next three weeks when I can get back to it again!

hoola23 · 12/10/2021 13:01

@newtolineofduty not as bad today thank god but this is the first proper period for two months so defo not pleasant! Should be done in 3 days then straight onto manic baby making!

Aims1991 · 12/10/2021 12:57

@MrsRosaline I've just bought him well man. Also stocked up on pomegranate juice and grapefruit juice

MrsRosaline · 12/10/2021 12:55

I shall update you in the morning - hopefully it will be peak! @newtolineofduty @CShandy01 @hoola23

My husband is taking impryl. He couldn't take well man/pregnacare ones because it affects other medication he takes.

Aims1991 · 12/10/2021 11:44

Can anyone recommend vitamins for men to take to help with conception ?

@CShandy01 sounds like a good plan hun! Xxx

CShandy01 · 12/10/2021 11:33

@newtolineofduty I do every month - I used to actually get cramps a week before and during ovulation, then it would go and then I'd have another 5 days of pre cramping before AF. Now it's just like cramp city since having DD 😂😂 I can tell which ovary I'm ovulation off as well, so deffo the right side this time round. Just not sure when it'll be! Hoping to DTD probably tomorrow if we can be bothered, but I've asked DH if we can have a nice weekend like we used to before DD. So hopefully it'll seem more spontaneous rather than a check list!

@MrsRosaline @CShandy01 you're totally right-I used to get such a buzz from seeing my peak!

@CShandy01 do you usually get ovulation cramps? It's funny how symptoms can be different month on month!

@hoola23 hope your period pains have eased abit today xxx

@MrsRosaline that's brilliant news!!! It's just so good to see when your body is doing the thing that it's supposed to do 🙂 takes off the added stress!

I've been having horrific cramps yesterday and today, CD 9 today. Can only assume I'm gearing up for ovulation, although haven't got a clue as I'm still not testing.

That's brilliant @MrsRosaline you must be so pleased!

That's awful did you have to go to hospital? X

hoola23 · 12/10/2021 09:39

@MrsRosaline that's great!! Mine came on really quickly once it started to increase slightly, hopefully yours will do the same! X

MrsRosaline · 12/10/2021 08:00

No way you can gain 5lb of fat in that amount of time it will 100% be water weight that will drop right off with one or two days of better eating. Don't worry about it @CShandy01

I suffered with hyperemesis and I was sick from 5 weeks right the way to birth. That's why it's taken so long to be ready to try for another one!

In other news I'm now on CD22 and I think maybe ovulation will come in a few days as I've been having some EWCM and my LH went up a bit today. Not a surge yet but it's at least in the right direction 🤞🏻🤞🏻

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 22:50

@CShandy01 that was me all weekend hun!🤣 back on it today. It's probs all water weight anyway, just do some damage limitation this week and you'll be fine! My uterus feels like it weighs about 2 stone this evening!

@CShandy01 it's awful seeing it on the scales isn't it but you've been enjoying yourself and much deserved too. You'll lose that in a month no probs xxx

@hoola23 @newtolineofduty to be honest I'd go through it in a heart beat again now if it meant having another wee one.

Having a bit of a downer tonight as I've literally drank and eaten my way through several bottles of wine, cake, Curry, bread, pate, cheese....annnnnd the scales say I've put on 5lbs 😱😨😱😨😱😨 annnnnd we have a slab of christening cake left.......dear god I need to shift these pounds!
