@MamaSJ15 less must be more. I DTD once in May and conceived. I could never even attempt SMEP. I think I might die 😂

MamaSJ15 · 04/10/2022 18:37

@MrsCristianoX oh I am sorry AF arrived.
I'm really hoping the 'less is more approach' works for us this cycle as we only DTD once but it was a good timed DTD. AF due on the weekend

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 17:16

@Hjudge56 I thought the multiple internal scans I was given had caused infection so I work with the doctors and they said it couldn't hurt. Didn't even examine me 🤷‍♀️

Fertilily is a device. Google it. I might get one not to sure how to get one and not freak DH out 😂

Hjudge56 · 04/10/2022 17:02

@MrsCristianoX yesh they’re not very painful. Yesterday and had a few mild cramps but today I haven’t had anything so that’s good! Just sometimes makes me feel quite fatigued!

oh that is interesting! I’m only taking general supplements and folic acid nor anything else pregnancy related.

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 16:49

@Hjudge56 I feel for you. I was like that last cycle and it wasn't pleasant. Ovulation to 8dpo horrible cramps kept me awake to 4am. This cycle not so much but still didn't get pregnant. I took a course of doxycycline because I was convinced I had something wrong like endometrisis (like inflammation of the uterus probably not spelt correctly). Tbh it helped the cramps but not conception 🤷‍♀️

Not sure what to add now. Girls on miscarriage board swear by something called fertilily ?

Hjudge56 · 04/10/2022 16:39

@MrsCristianoX its just very hard for me to tell I supposed as I always seem to get cramps etc post ovulation!

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 16:16

@Hjudge56 ah don't say that!! I got to Saturday and I knew somehow. Perhaps my rage. Wishing you all the luck lovely ❤️

Hjudge56 · 04/10/2022 16:14

@MrsCristianoX i am very sorry to hear. I don’t think I’m far behind you… 7dpo and jusy not hopeful this cycle at all!

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 15:23

Ladies AF has arrived. Started spotting just there. Bring on cycle 6 😭💪

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 14:06

@MamaSJ15 I actually managed to flood a test this morning (never done this in my life) and as I was looking at it trying to make out any kind of line, my back pain started and I though f**k it not wasting another. I'm all heavy and backachey now (if that's not a word it should be!) Any time I POAS it ends up with nothing. I'll try again tomorrow. See attached flooded test 🙄 expecting AF tomorrow

@MrsCristianoX ooo yes ease update us when you do!
@alwaysseeingstars thank you, DD has settled in really well to be fair, I was quite impressed! She likes the new house 😊 it's just taking a while for us to sort it all out with working full time too.
Aww lovely, that sounds so nice! How far along are you now?

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 12:22

@alwaysseeingstars awww😍 it's overwhelming isn't it 💕

alwaysseeingstars · 04/10/2022 11:31

@MamaSJ15 We went to the south of France, absolutely beautiful and much needed 😍 sorry to hear you've had a rough week at work too though, it really does take over your life doesn't it! Good to see you've moved and hopefully starting to settle in, how's your DD finding it?

I'm good thanks, had my first scan today - just so relieved to see baby is doing well in there! Although she struggled with the scan as baby would not stop wriggling 😆

Hjudge56 · 04/10/2022 09:25

Fingers crossed @MrsCristianoX !!! Let us know if you test today

MrsCristianoX · 04/10/2022 07:49

@MamaSJ15 today or tomorrow. Can't keep putting it off 🙈 I'll keep u updated xx

MamaSJ15 · 04/10/2022 07:02

@MrsCristianoX when are you testing?

MamaSJ15 · 03/10/2022 21:16

@MrsCristianoX okay, I'll be staying away from that one then 😂

MrsCristianoX · 03/10/2022 20:29

@MamaSJ15 it's on Netflix. A dramatisation of a serial killer who ate his victims 🤢

MamaSJ15 · 03/10/2022 20:22

@MrsCristianoX what's Dahmer?

MrsCristianoX · 03/10/2022 20:05

@Hjudge56 so random it felt too high to be implantation pain and still a bit tender today. God only knows. My body is probably saying NO MORE! Just awaiting AF now..

I watched dahmer over the weekend and I have the fear. Stupid DH working away

MamaSJ15 · 03/10/2022 19:09

@alwaysseeingstars hello! Nice to hear from you 😊 where was your holiday? How are you doing? Totally understand the stressful work, that was me last week too!

alwaysseeingstars · 03/10/2022 12:42

Hey everyone! Sorry for the quiet, was on holiday and then a verrrry stressful week at work. How's everyone doing? 😊

Hjudge56 · 03/10/2022 12:24

@MrsCristianoX oh dear I really hope you’re okay! Was it mainly on one side? Could be implantation pain!

Im 6DPO today and having very mild cramps on one side so I’ve been thinking the same 🤞🏼But judging by previous experience, I think I’m just a crampy person 😂

MamaSJ15 · 03/10/2022 07:20

@MrsCristianoX oh yes, I've been quite busy so far during the tww so I've not been thinking about it too much. But I've been feeling a bit off since last night, started with a headache and just felt off, tired, rundown. Probably just doing too much with trying to sort the house out still. Had a crap night's sleep, woke up by DD at 1:15 when she was dreaming (she does this sometimes, it's like she dreams about an even that happened during the day and gets upset about it!), then DH was at it, he sometimes talks in his sleep and when I went back to bed his pillow was on the floor by the door so he must have thrown it too, very strange night 🙈 and I've woken up with my head still hurting 🤯

MrsCristianoX · 03/10/2022 07:10

@MamaSJ15 really weird. I think I twisted a funny way but it was really sore to touch. Yea I'm fine now 🤷‍♀️the joy of the TWW 🤯
