Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

@MrsCristianoX ahh this is the place for meltdowns! I did a quick google last night to see if pains are before, during or after and literally it could be either. How useless is that! I've been temping and my temps are poo (the teeniest increase) so wondering if I've actually ovulated yet. Urgh.

@TheBirdintheCave I sometimes get EWCM after O. Is it the really good clear stretchy stuff or is it a bit cloudy? Jeez I never thought I would become such an expert on cm 🤦‍♀️

@calimc83 how are you doing lovely? I hope everything is going well for you!! It's so lovely to hear you've popped and look pregnant 💕

@lovenaps I haven't tried it. Personally I'm not sure I would want to play around with it unless I know it's proven to be helpful (I have no idea if it is or not 🤔). Have you scheduled a scan to reassure you? I would probably start there than going and having needles stuck in you (which let me tell you is really really boring, it's nowhere near as enjoyable as a massage!!)

@FfayeN @theblueflowers I remember the reassuring boobie gropes well. You know if you see a lady doing that, that's a sure sign she's pregnant 😂 glad to hear you're both doing well!!

@Indianna2006 adventures of the fertilily lol! I wonder how many ladies on this thread will end up pregnant with the help of the ol' lily?!

Hahhaa Adventures of the Ferti-lily is just perfect 😂

@FfayeN for a few seconds I was thinking what does she mean the 4 of us 🤔🤔

oh yes. DUH. 4 including bean in belly. Honestly after nearly 5 years being as a 3. That sounds very bizarre lol.

@lovenaps I haven’t. Think I’d prob avoid it too. Unless it was proven to be safe 1st trimester. They pretty much seem to want you to avoid most things nowadays! And easier to be safer isn’t it I guess.

haha maybe they can be name of next thread. “Adventures of the fertilily”

I also have a good feeling and think some more BFPs are due!

@MrsCristianoX @bunnykins123 deffo think DD will love it. Think I might do that then and hope to perhaps feel a nudge from baby before Sunday to convince me they okay in there.

@FfayeN oh the constant checking 😫 I swear I have checked my boobs in front of people without realising 😂. Sounds ridiculous but I'd be so much happier with stronger symptoms.

@lovenaps Hey hey! I'm all good thanks, just trying to get through each day. Doing my best to ignore the fact that I'm pregnant like @FfayeN so throwing myself into work which is why I haven't been on so much. How are you getting on?

I am reading along though and enjoying everyone's adventures with fertilily 😂

@theblueflowers I have been thinking of you, how are you feeling? x

Very good that there is a bunch of you with similar DPO - always good to have buddies!
Anyone tried acupuncture to prevent m/c? Wondering whether to continue or not as had a bit of a scare last time when my body temp clearly rose too much during and that's not good. Will see how I feel next week but might cancel!

How is everyone?

@TheBirdintheCave I had thicker stuff today..probably all the liquid running out from wearing the cup last night. Mmm concealed 🤢

I'm also feeling soooo positive about you girls who are all in the 2WW's. There's going to be BFPs coming. I can feel it 😍 xx

@Indianna2006 I also think it's totally reasonable to go in first just to check all is ok ( which it will be). I will do the same further down the line xx

@Indianna2006 oh wow 17 weeks already! How exciting..yeah I think that's a really good idea. I think we might do the same and have a 3d scan a little later down the line. We finally told my parents this weekend - no hiding the bump now! 😂 xx

And now I've had EWCM all day 🤦🏻‍♀️ What are you doing body?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can't imagine it's not happened after the intensity of last night. Guess all I can do is keep dtd until the EW goes away.

So annoying.

@bunnykins123 thanks for replying..yea one sided last night which led to cramping for a half hr then vanished. Pretty sure I've ovulated. Ignore my meltdown 😅

@Indianna2006 oh that's SUCH a lovely idea 💕 I would have never thought to take DD to a private scan but if I ever do get to where you are, I defo think I would follow suit. Could it be that you leave DH and DD in the waiting room whilst you have a quick scan and then ask the sonographer to call them in if all is well (which it will be!). I totally understand the fear, I don't think it ever completely goes but I guess trust your gut and try to enjoy those moments. DD will always remember the day she saw her sibling on the scan before they (she?) was born.

@MrsCristianoX sometimes I never get a true peak. I used CB alongside easy@home but I drink quite a lot of water so testing throughout the day is quite hard as it's diluted. If I get a peak off CB and get a near peak with the opks I tend to just trust that. Also I think pains are pretty indicative of O happening too. What are your pains like? Is it one sided? Mine yesterday were same strength as the control line and today it's dark but not as dark as control.

My lines are still high not peak and less than control is that normal for day after ov? You would think I would know this by know. Pain started last night about half 9 and was gone about midnight (and this is the reason I hate OPKs 🙄) xx

@Indianna2006 that's sounds like a lovely idea..defo go in first. So much better for DD to see and you to get reassurance and not some old crone of a midwife making it feel unimportant ❤️

Woo for all being 1DPO together! That’s good 2ww alongside each other. Ha yes the fertilily does slip about a lot. But agreed does tend to rise up a bit as you leave it in. Almost gets suctioned up 🙈😂

@calimc83 I have now booked private scan for Sunday when I will be 17+1. So we will find out the gender then too. An just confirm it at 20 weeks. Just felt didn’t wanna wait in this just unknown without feeling movements. I’d of waited had she of done the Doppler 🙄

DH has said be nice to take DD along to private scan as can’t take them to nhs obv as she’s older and is very excited to be able to feel baby and keeps asking if she can listen for heartbeat. Altho explain yo her she won’t be able to hear that even further along through my womb 😂 bless her.

but part of me also freaks out about that. I mean I’d love her to see if all is well. What do you girls think? Tbh I’m freaked out anyway as she’s so excited about it. An just the thought of anything going wrong and then having to explain. Ugh. It’s just not worth thinking about. Something makes you so protective over your children.
but she knows about the baby anyway. So either way she’d have to know.

I really want to do it together as be rly special. Maybe I can ask them I go in and they check etc then DH and DD can come in etc? Do you think that’s reasonable.

honeslty. I thought this anxiety would be getting better. Think I’m getting worse the further along I get. An the more ppl can tell you’ve got a bump and now. It all becomes very real and public 😩🙈

@MrsCristianoX @TheBirdintheCave I'm so glad I'm not the only one struggling to get it in! I put a bit of preseed on it and literally find it slides all over the place. I think I'm 1dpo now too, defo think last night was unsuccessful due to timing but hey ho. I probably have about an inch too but it seems to go up higher the longer I leave it 🤔 I slept with mine in last night...

@TheBirdintheCave that's good! I defo pushed it in as far as I could but it was so slippery 🙈 anyway OPK today much lighter, no pain so 1dpo here too. We can get each other through this!

@bunnykins123 Yeah we dtd around 7pm before the pains got really bad and then I had the Ferti-lily in for about half an hour. I doubt those swimmers will make it but I figured it was worth a shot.

@MrsCristianoX I have loads of tail sticking out even though the cup is definitely up as far as it can go.

Are we all approx 1dpo now then? That's cool if so :)
