Anyone else TTC #1? Just looking for TTC buddies!

@Nmmck93 Nu u Nutrition, 4000mg they're only on ebay at the moment, £14 free delivery! I've ordered some just incase this isn't our cycle but fingers crossed for us both it is! 💕

@BexTTC amazing! Thank you, if this isn't my cycle I deffs am going to fry next month. Thank you

@Nmmck93 Yea that's where I saw it! I'm going to join a group on FB and see if I can find the exact product, I just know its 4000mg a day, I'll update when I find out

@BexTTC I've seen this all over tiktok this last week about people saying they got pregnant so quick after taking this. I typed it into eBay to see but seems like there is so many brands I wouldn't know where to start lol.

Have any of you ladies heard of Macaroot? Apparently it's been proven to help with ovulation and people who were struggling have taken it and after a month or so they've conceived! Only cycle 2 but I'm wondering if it'll help as my OPKs are all over the place at the moment so thinking it could help

@dormicumema fingers crossed lol!
Yeah when I was reading it I was like 'how do people do this and fit it in' we worked 11 hour days yesterday and last night it was a proper chore. But obvs once started we both relaxed. I can already feel each fertile week I have to go through it's going to be pressure and annoying but it'll be worth it once we see that BFP eventually!

I was so relaxed last TWW but I know this month I'm not going to be, I also have my mums birthday next Saturday and I really don't want to drink alcohol, I'll only be like 8DPO but my family also don't know officially we're trying so I'm trying to think of excuses I can use to not drink alcohol 🙈

Hope you get your O day soon & join the TWW.

Legs up is definitely worth a try 😂 I think its quite enough for you. SMEP is really intense but it ensures there are swimmers at all times waiting 😅

@dormicumema I was reading about SMEP but my partner also works nightshifts sometimes and also I work long days so was hard. We BD CD12 & CD14 it's all we could fit in, then we'll BD again CD 16
I get my positive OPK and Peak all in the one day then a few hours after peak it starts dropping again so I'm not sure if that's normal or what.

I lay last night after DTD with my legs raised up against the wall for 20 minutes - I know it's like not proven to help but I gave it a go.

I had booked off work Monday because that's my CD 18 and was predicted O day because of last month and my partner is on nightshift so I wanted to get in BD before he went to work and turns out my O day was yesterday. 😂 the things we do.

Hope I will detect my O day soon and then waiting time as well :)
@kalixxx Started to eat healthier, drinking more water, also last few months I have been very forgetful with my vitamins so this month I have been taking them regularly. Also started taking lady mantle's herbal capsules (something I read can be good for women's reproductive health and overall wellbeing)
Bought a new bike (woohoo) and where I live is finally nice and warmer weather so started cycling as well :)

@Nmmck93 have you read about SMEP? BD every day for 3 days when you get your positive opk than 1 day break and then another BD :) and regular Sex every other day before that. Unfortunately not ideal because we all work long hours/night shifts but we will try to BD every day when I get positive opk

Have been trying for 6 months so am a little discouraged but there is still time for natural conceiving hopefully

@kalixxx dont give up just yet! Still early days! Fingers crossed for you.

@dormicumema last month I was CD18 for O day, but this month I was CD14 which was yesterday so I’m 1DPO today hoping we BD on the right days. Feel like I should BD again tomorrow just to cover myself but I did have O pain on CD13 late in the night.

I am still waiting for my O day, CD 15 for me, usually it's around CD18

Hey @kalixxx it is still very very early :) I would wait til Monday, try not to think about it this weekend :)

@dormicumema hey, yeah I tested last night and this morning; I hit peak last night. I actually found the natural light at the window I was using was brightening my stick as it was clearly different; here’s my tests from yesterday and today. Today is predicted O day, baby dancing tonight to try keep us covered.

@Nmmck93 hey, did you test today? Mine look like that 12 hours before clearly positive.

*pic didn’t attach

Hey girlies, me again.
need some advice, this is todays test; Premom reads it low but to the eye there’s is the TINIEST colour difference I feel I might hit peak tonight.
We BD last night, and my partner is working night shift tonight (he starts at 7) and I’m working until 8 tonight, and I’m working all day tomorrow until 8:30; if we BD tomorrow night will that cover us? So stressful trying to pinpoint if you’ll be covered. 🙈

@Piglet34 ahh, might have to try a pillow to raise my bum up, I just kinda lay over 20 minutes and scroll on my phone to pass time.
I read that it's all a myth and sperm will just swim right up aslong as you don't stand straight up after DTD.

@Nmmck93 I usually stay layed down for like 15 mins with bum slightly raised on a pillow. I have bought the fertilily to try this cycle though so will see how that goes!

Hey girlies hope all is going well for those still aiming for their BFP.

Just curious is there anything you do after DTD in order to improve your chances.
I've been deep in google and some pages say stay laying down for 5 minutes others say 20, then there is the old wives tale of laying with legs up.

Just curious what routines you go through after DTD

@Tempeliz welcome!
Hopefully your TWW goes fast and you get your BFP.

I found when I started last month and was in my TWW that it was best to keep myself busy as possible. It flew in and before you know it it's testing time.

Hi everyone
I hope I can join you all! I’m on my first cycle ttc, currently around 7 dpo (I think as I only tested using OPK for a couple of days) so in my tww - time is going very slow!
Weirdly I have been experiencing sore/bleeding gums which I didn’t know until I googled today could be an early pregnancy sign but who knows! Another week before I can test so hopefully you can all keep me sane ☺️

Yeah I'm just basing it off last month my lines started to get darker by now.

I ordered them off eBay from a seller so they want me to send them back for a refund. No-where round me seems to have them in stock it's crazy. I have clear blue digitalis coming but really don't want to use them when the time comes until I see a definite second line. Gunna shop around this week to see if I can get FRER.

Aw busy is good, hopefully this next week flies for you, as o said last month I was pretty laid back and relaxed and wasn't tempted to test. I feel like once I hit my TWW I'm going to be really impatient because when AF is due it's 5 days before my holiday so I'd like to have plenty of notice if Its positive 🙈
