Keeping each other company (thread 2)

@Ladylou17 hahahaha

@Lucyasc I think men act so differently to us, I usually give my DH no choice or threaten not to cook dinner 😂 xx

@FlyOnTheWall89 thanks that does make me feel better! I'm at the office today and he can't WFH so will have to hope we can DTD tonight 🤞🏻
@Mama500 he wouldn't react well lol, it's so hard I think it's so new to us still and I just want it so much which he does but just have to keep thinking positively and we still have a good window to try this week thanks all xx

So frustrating @Lucyasc but like @FlyOnTheWall89 you still have lots of chances.

How would DH react if you woke him to DTD x

Oooooo so frustrating @Lucyasc - the disparity between how men and women approach TTC fascinates me. If it is any consolation, EWCM could be present for days before you ovulate! I get it 5, even sometimes 7 days before! Try today (hoping you work from home) and then tomorrow night - that leaves 36 hrs? X

@Mama500 fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏻@Ladylou17 thank you for your positive wishes 😊 x

Hopes everyone is doing ok? FW is already challenging for me, me and my partner decided to DTD every other day told him I'm predicted to ovulate Saturday but I've had eggwhite CM today so I said we better DTD tonight. He stays up too late watching TV and here I am in bed whilst he's asleep no TTC tonight, am I being too harsh? It's really got me upset I'm so desperate for us to get pregnant I wanted to listen to my body this month rather than the app which he doesn't seem to understand 😔

I do that too @Mama500 it's so hard isn't it well done for not early testing! I would wait till 9dpo. Sounds like all positive signs 😊 xx

@Ladylou17 I have no idea everyday I’m talking myself out of testing. I’ve felt really confident this month but as it gets closer I’m not sure

When’s the earliest I can test. Should I wait 🙈

@Mama500 oh that's exciting. Are you going to test this month or wait to see if AF shows?
Yes I hate it too can't stop thinking about him, poor little guy.
@FlyOnTheWall89 oh good! Well you know what they say sometimes having no plan is the best way :) xx

@Ladylou17 I find my dog being ill so stressful as well.

I’m good thanks, I’m actually 7dpo! X

Also @Ladylou17 I think we are exactly in time this month. I think I'll ovulate tomorrow but not OPKing so that is just based on my app prediction! X

Keeping everything crossed for you @Ladylou17 and hope the doggie gets better! I can't keep him off me atm 😂, 48hrs will have to do. I think it's fairly unlikely anyway so kind of not even thinking these few months should have any plan at all. X

Thanks @Mama500 can't wait for it to be over. He's not great to be honest but hoping he'll sort himself out, how are you feeling?xx

Also how amazing completing your masters @l

Thank you @Ladylou17

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that! Although O Round the corner is good news

Is your dog ok x

@FlyOnTheWall89 crossing my fingers for you. Maybe try dtd every 3 days to give time in between to help with count?
Good luck @Mama500 @Lucyasc @Cruz86 I have a good feeling for February ❤️
I feel like I'm about to ovulate all signs but no positive opk yet, maybe tomorrow. We're trying to be more chilled this month so taking it easy and as less stress as possible but completing my masters and dog is poorly which isn't helping.
Hope you are all ok xx

I hope you referral is quick so glad you’ve got the ball rolling “@FlyOnTheWall89

I’ve had a quick look for my paperwork but can’t find it I’ll have another look at home

You are making all the right decisions x

@Mama500 we have been referred to a fertility clinic so we are just waiting for a letter in the post.

We are both very fit and healthy, I cook everything from scratch so no concerns there. He doesn't do laptop on lap or any hot tubs or anything like that. Morphology is the really bad one. Motility was way above average and then sperm count was below average but not terrible. You get a nice detailed breakdown but zero advice so it's all been on us to work out the best things to take. Yes, hopefully with lots of supplements we can get this all up a bit. We plan to see a urologist in late February and we will have to see what happens re NHS referral- it may take ages in which case, we may go private but we want to give the supplements a bit of time before we go down the medical intervention route. So frustrating because it is all so time based!

Luckily lots of people conceive with low morphology and lots wouldn't know they have it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle, but I think it will be a long journey ahead.

Hoping someone gets their BFP on here soon so I can share in the excitement!!! X

Also I’m sure you’ve heard this but no hot baths for OH, no phones in pockets or laptop on lap. @FlyOnTheWall89 I went to see a fertility acupuncture after my mmc and she was so informative

@Cruz86 I’ve been a bit crampy not sure if that’s in my head and also moody and hungry haha

How are you?

@FlyOnTheWall89 I’m sorry thing are hard right now. What are your next steps? Honestly stay positive it’s amazing what supplements and a healthy diet can do. Have you a copy of your SA. Did they give you a list of suppliments that help certain things like mobility? I know zinc is good I always make OH take it when ttc xx

@Cruz86 No I don't think supplements will be, but another lady said her consultation was 80% covered so that would be something. We have pretty comprehensive cover so I guess it is worth checking :-). x

Hey ladies, Yes I’m in 5dpo!

Good luck @Cruz86 and @FlyOnTheWall89 valentines babies 😍

Oh that's good @Cruz86 - you'll feel much better having had 2 done.

Well we will still be having unprotected sex so I guess there is always a chance but they are very very very slim...Im gong to call our private healthcare tomorrow and see if anything at all is covered. In a way, I feel like these months trying have been wasted but I'm trying to stay positive!
