The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

Thanks @ladybuggoldfinch that’s really helpful, just ordered it.

@Bringonbaby3 I second what @Purple29 said, I’ve read too that it can affect conception as a female orgasm can help the swimmers move up or something like that (because of the ‘contraction’ when you orgasm). I used to nearly always orgasm when DTD in the past but totally lost it post birth of our dd 🙈. I don’t know why! We try and help me orgasm after DTD or I do it myself but this definitely doesn’t always happen, too much pressure!! You can only do your best. On that note, and since we’re talking about TMI topics: does anyone have any idea why I might have lost the ability to orgasm during DTD since my dd’s birth?

@Bringonbaby3 is there such a thing as TMI on here?! Lol.... not going to lie I orgasm about 1 in 3 times and I won't lie I heard it can effect conception, certainly that it's better if you do.
Both times we fell pregnant I made sure DH made sure I did even if it was before we dtd or he got me close enough we knew I would.

Sorry if a TMI question but do you guys always aim to orgasm during sex when TTC? Do you think it makes a difference? I probably only orgasm about 1 in 4 times…. Just had a quickie but no orgasm and worried I wasted those sperm? Stupid I know, I’m only d9 so not even in fertile period yet!

@DancinOnTheCeiling I had this after my MC in September. It took ages to go. I tried thrush cream but in the end the dr advised using vagasil wash and to be fair that has worked a treat. Never had it before that

Hello everyone 👋🏻 moving on over to this thread as I think AF will be here any day now so we will be going onto cycle #2 TTC #2 🙏🏻✨ Baby dust to you all! Let's hope February brings lots of BFP ✨

Can I ask a question that isn’t really TTC related, it’s more a thrush/bacterial vaginosis question. Sorry TMI, I’ve been having this feeling of discomfort - a sort of itchy feeling, and when wiping after a wee there was the tiniest tiniest bit of blood. I don’t think for a minute this is implantation bleeding, I’m 100% sure the blood isn’t from ‘internal’ but more like a cut or tear or something (but must be a tiny tiny one as there was only the tiniest bit of red blood). I’ve had thrush in the past and don’t think this is thrush. I’ve also had BV but that was years ago, so I cannot remember the symptoms. Any experience/ideas? With BV I read there’s supposed to be bad odour but I don’t really notice any odour. The feeling isn’t massively itchy but I definitely notice it. Am thinking try some BV treatment first, if that doesn’t work try thrush cream plus pessary, if that doesn’t work call GP?

@Purple29 fab to have some dtd time that’s not TTC focussed but just for the fun of it... 😊 xx

@Bringonbaby3 maybe then? On Thursday I had EWCM plus my boobs were really sensitive so that's a possibility maybe?

@AmberRH1993 congrats!! That’s a really good line. Hope it sticks. Keep us updated!

@arianasky my bets would be that you’ve already ovulated and the sticks didn’t catch it….this has def happened to me! I only take them once a day so it’s quite easy to miss the LH surge. I would look for other signs eg boobs becoming more tender/creamier mucus which would indicate you’ve already ovulated.

Still no ovulation for me 🙄 another blank circle and OPK's lighter than yesterday 😔 I don't think it's going to happen? Is there a chance I could've missed my peak like it happened between two mornings? Would I have got a blank circle clearblue that way though? Arrgghh all so confusing and long haha?

Thank you so much ladies ❤️

@AmberRH1993 amazing! Congratulations 🎉

@AmberRH1993 amazing! Great way to end the weekend. Congrats

Morning ladies... 9/10dpo and I got a shock this morning...

Hi ladies, have been following but would like to join in properly. CD20 and finally got a peak reading (static smiley) on the OPKs. Had pretty much given up on this month so took the last three days off. Hopefully today and tomorrow will be enough!

CD10 today, hopefully OPKs will start getting stronger now as Ov is usually CD12/13

Welcome @Peonies94 ! Wishing you a successful cycle! I am cycle #4 ✨

I am nearing my fertile weeek everyone …. Lol so hopefully have some good updates!

Feel like I am behind for this thread lots of testing coming up soon - good luck everyone 🤍

Do you mind if I join? Over year into ttc now, but this is only cycle 5, as my periods are so irregular! Currently having investigations, however AF has just arrived so Hoping this cycle will be a shorter one and ovulation will occur in February 🤞! Here’s to hoping! Goodluck everyone!

Typo I meant SMEP!!

Anyone using the SMEG method? Thinking of trying it as I am suspicious I am getting false positives on OPKs.

[quote arianasky]@AmberRH1993 I don't think so? I'll try again in the morning 🤞🏻 I've DTD today though incase 🤞🏻 can't wait to see how your test progress I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻[/quote]
