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

@AmberRH1993 I have a friend that had this done and went on to have another child but it was at least a year after. What have the professionals said?

Just sat and had a cry and bit of an anxious moment (bit delayed, normally get that on CD1 not 3!)

Just starting to feel like it's not going to happen for me again which is silly as this is only month 4. I've always known I wasn't done after DS (I would like 3!) and it's just a little ache in my chest every month it's not happening and DS is so ready to be a big brother and is really interested in babies and has even asked me and DP for a sibling and I'm just getting a little scared I won't be able to give him one.

Sorry for the slight down post and I hope I don't upset anyone who's trying for #1 or anything xx

Afternoon ladies - I need some advice...

I tested positive for Hpv last year and now again for the 2nd time in a row. My colposcopy biopsy came back clear but they offered a Large Loop Excision where they remove the area of affected cells from your cervix.
At the time I decided against it as I wanted to try for another baby and heard that it can weaken the cervix and increase chances of miscarriages and premature labour.
We are now actively trying for baby #2 and I have my colposcopy booked for next week but not sure whether to go for the removal or not?

Id love some advice please on what you would do or if you have done this 😊

@DancinOnTheCeiling me too in March! It's so good to know there are many 4th floorers on the baby journey!

Thanks everyone. I think there can be such a thing as too much researching on my part as I tend to err on that side! I think I’ll try and go with the flow a bit and see what happens. X

@Worryant I agree with PP there is no right answer. I would say whatever is the most enjoyable/least stressful. We’re TTC #2 (on month 5), up until now we pretty much DTD daily in the fertile window but since this hasn’t worked we’ve tried every other day this cycle (don’t know if that’s worked yet). Other people fall pregnant having only DTD once so there is no right or wrong. Good luck xx

@oldermam happy 40th birthday!!! Enjoy your day.

@Curlywurly3 when drinking in the tww I always let myself have a glass or 2 if I'm going out or that. Always made me feel better knowing that if I had conceived then the baby lives off the yolk for the first 6 weeks or so till the placenta develops.

@Worryant we DTD three times in the fertile week when we got our first BFP, and did SMEP with the second. Unfortunately both weren't sticky ones.
There are theories that every other day is supposed to be better as it will leave time for sperm to build quality. But basically do what's best for you. I'm more of a quality-over-quantity DTD person so every day for over a week is exhausting for me :)

@Worryant everyone does different things and there’s no right or wrong. There’s different methods/patterns people follow. But I mean really, it only takes one little sperm at some stage around ovulation. DTD regularly and have fun I think is the answer really.
When I had my ectopic I D2D once and was fairly sure it wasn’t FW…

Quick question. I’m really new to all this. Do you DTD every other day or step it up to every day around ovulation day?
Love I am asking you all questions I’m too nervous to broach with real life friends. Thank you lovely women 😘

Oh and happy birthday! 🎂

Thanks for the good wishes @oldermam and @kizzy97. We are still going through all the tests which will probably take another month due to certain procedures only being able to be done on certain days of the month. For now we are just going to keep on plodding on maybe we will get lucky. Currently awaiting DH’s second sperm sample results. His first one was in September, all was good but only 2% morphology (normal shaped sperm). However the good volume and motility balanced that out. He’s been on all sorts of supplements since then. I’m praying the morphology hasn’t gone down further.

I have started taking Ubiquinol this week which apparently helps with egg quality. I have also started taking high strength Vitamin C after reading some encouraging threads on here. I think that brings me up to six pills (supplements) a day now! Shake me and I’ll rattle!

CD8 here, due to ovulate next Tues/Weds. TTC last night and planning on tomorrow then every other day into next week.

Best of luck all 🍀

Happy Birthday @oldermam !! 🥳 Have a great day.

Happy birthday @oldermam welcome to the 4th floor 🎉

@oldermam Huge Happy Birthday! Enjoy your weekend!

CD8 here for me and full of cold! Hopefully will pass before start of fertile week which should be around Tuesday. Still managing to DTD every other day and hoping to continue to do so 🤞🏻

@oldermam happy 40th!! Hope you're having a lovely day at the hotel and enjoy your dinner. Also hope AF stays away for you xx

I had a dream I was pregnant last night then thought what if I ovulated earlier than when I started testing and I could be like 10dpo and I took a cheapie test obv negative as I know I haven't ovulated 🙈 I'm going crazy I swear haha!

Happy birthday @oldermam enjoy your day 🎉🎉

Happy birthday @oldermam enjoy the cocktails 🍹

CD5 here AF over and now looking forward to FW although have a bit of a wait. Usually is around CD15-CD16 for O

Happy birthday @oldermam have the best time

Happy Birthday @oldermam hope you have a fantastic weekend!

CD3 here for me which means af should start tapering off for me today if not stop all together and then I'll start using my OPKs, hoping cycle 4 will be it!

Happy Birthday @oldermam - enjoy a few cocktails!!

CD6 for me here so AF has come and gone and the FW is approaching- it comes around so quickly doesn’t it!!

Happy birthday @oldermam !

I've had a sickness bug for a couple of days (following AF) which is good because DH is desperate for some bedroom fun, so this should tie in perfectly with my fertile week when I'm feeling better 🤞 providing her doesn't now catch it! CD6 here for me!
