@Amy95 I said to my oh a few months ago I don't wanna get to like 2 1/2 years and then he decided he doesn't want to get married as that would be a game changer for me and it shouldn't take him that long to decide he does want to marry me lol. He has said he's got a few surprises planned and apparently one is soon and one is in a couple of months as it's expensive... so 🤞🏼 it's a ring! He's always said he wants kids first then marriage as he wants the kids at the wedding which is quite sweet. I'm happy either way, but I still expect a ring even if we don't get married for a couple of years! It's just knowing there's a promise that's been made, I'd probably cry😅 x

He's agreed to an appointment next month if this month doesn't work so I'm happy about that!

And me and my Oh are so similar! We both go through stages of acting like children when it's just us and he has moments where he's quite playful and giggly and I'm the same- we call it the zoomies🤣 and we both have the same sense of humour. But this almost means we both get irritated quickly sometimes but we don't really argue or fall out, we just say like you're a bitch then the other says you're a bitch, then we laugh and forget about it 🤣 feels like he's Literally the other half of me 🥰x

Aw I'm glad he's agreed to do that ,
So lush 🥰 I love a good love story 😂 I've been nagging my OH for a ring 😂 it's basically been 5 years now 🙄 taking his time xx

@Amy95 I might mention it to him next month if this month doesn't work as I don't want to put too much pressure on him, or his sex drive completely disappears and then our relationship feels a bit different which sounds so stupid but if we need to see the doctors and try other things, he's open to that but doesn't want to try tablets and things and end up making the situation worse. I said last night about trying something incase it's a hormone problem and he said he will once the doctor confirms there's a problem, and until then he wants to do it naturally which I totally understand but it might turn out that it can't be done naturally. We won't know until it either happens or the doctors confirm something x

Yes I would Hun , we have both decided after holiday were making that doctors appointment and it's his choice so I'm happy with that ,

My oh is a Leo and I'm Taurus were basically the same person 100% my match 😂xx

I'm Sagittarius and boyfriend is Pisces and it works! My closest friends I've had have always been a Pisces or Scorpio so definitely feel like it's a good mix x

DuchessofSuffolk · 02/06/2023 08:09

Taurus are the best. My husband is also a Taurus 😂😂 strangely it works.

@Amy95 to be fair, he's just as bad as he makes it very obvious when he's in the mood🤣 which at the moment seems to be all the time🤣 I'm not complaining tho! Lol. I think if we get to the 1 year mark, and we see the doctors, Lennon would be a bit more encouraged to try new things but right now he thinks it's a bit over the top as like most people say, it will happen eventually! I just feel like I've let us both down every month when my period arrives. Especially this month as I was convinced that it worked and was so excited to finish the tww and test! Then period showed up and I felt so guilty it hadn't worked! The preseed and maca is being delivered tomorrow so 🤞🏼x

Well that's good I suppose 😂 getting the practice in ready , yes 100% doctors always say 12 months , exactly why not just try different things first and he honest so he knows what's going on , you havnt let anyone down by having af 🥺 I felt like that every month in the past , just try to think positive , I've only taken it this month , but I seen the difference in my OH it helps with there sex drive xx

@Amy95 @chlx3 I've stopped maca root now.. only took it for a couple of weeks but this has been the worst cycle I've had in about a year. Maca root is the only thing I did differently 🤷‍♀️

More random pink mucus for me this morning.
Did opk and preg test just to figure out what was happening lol. BFN and flashing smiley on opk so who knows. X

CAGH03 · 02/06/2023 07:57

Amy95 · 02/06/2023 07:54

@chlx3 me and Luke are both on maca root xx

Sorry changed my username as haven't told anyone we're trying and his name isn't usual so don't want anyone finding out on here lol. I've ordered maca root but don't think Lennon would try it, but it's definitely worth me trying it and seeing if it makes a difference! Apparently it boosts energy too, which I need as I sleep like 10-12 hours a day, and starting on night shifts soon x

@dabs9 we sometimes use lube anyway because why not but I've seen people post about doctors telling them to use preseed or nothing, even when it's water based, because apparently it can still harm sperm so giving this one a go! x

Amy95 · 02/06/2023 07:50

chlx3 · 02/06/2023 07:34

It's so difficult to try and explain everything to him because he just thinks it's simple and is now convinced it's never going to happen! I've ordered conception plus pre natal tablets and I'm also on folic acid and inositol but he doesn't understand why I take them as the doctor told me everything is fine although he mentioned taking them a few months ago so I was a bit confused lol. I just think using fertility lube would put a bit more pressure onto the sex as if I mention I'm ovulating and we should have sex, it instantly puts him off as he feels like that's the only reason we're having sex which is fair enough. So I've started instigating it more often and not just in my fertile window so he knows making a baby is not the only reason. (But the most important lol). I've only got £35 to last me until Friday and the lube is like £18 but might just say fuck it and get some anyway. Would rather spend a bit more money and it works then getting to the 1 year mark and feeling helpless and like I'm doing something wrong. If I try this then I know I'm trying everything I can to try and help things happen! x

It really is , but what helped me alot was looking for things we could both try when Luke was ready to do that , because it just hasn't happened I explained some people find it easy TTC and then there's others like me who struggle , yeah it could be worth a shot you never know it could work , Luke's sister swore by it and that's how she caught with her dd I used it once and I found it even put me off and didn't like it , when I'm ovulating Luke knows what's coming 😂 unless he falls asleep I'll happily wake him up because he's needed 🤦🏼‍♀️I promise you your not doing nothing wrong Hun please don't put yourself down 🥺 one day it is going to happen you will get your dream 🤞❤️ you've got this and don't be to hard on yourself 🥰 your that one cycle closer xx

Wishing you so much luck @GeoSmed 💕

@chlx3 I've used preseed and conceive plus and they haven't worked for us. I do still use them tho because it makes me feel better when we're having that lovely passionate TTC sex 🤣

I got preseed for £9 on Amazon when it was on offer. Xx

I just bought preseed and maca root tablets so 🤞🏼 they work! Not due to ovulate for another 19 days but have 100 opks turning up today too🤣 some how managed to use like 70 last month as was first month using them and wanted to find my peak, which I did🙃 won't be using them as much, once a day until the test line gets darker and might buy more clearblue opks when I get paid next Friday! Fingers crossed!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤍x

@GeoSmed your so much stronger than I am ❤️ I really do hope it's good happy news for you 🤞🤞
@chlx3 I've got conceive plus in the house I think I used it once and forgot about it 😂 I totally understand with your boyfriend because my other half used to be exactly the same , it's a scary for men just like it's worrying for us , but sit down with him and say you've looked into this and it could help you both , just something else to try , luke the first few cycles was all over the place he blamed himself alot which weve got through and it's no one's fault just not our luck just yet xx
Also has anyone heard of ferti lily cup I seen another group talking about it ? And they have been successful with it ? Xx

The ones I found on Amazon were like £18 for the actual brand but quite hesitant at the price haha. Going to get some more reviews and suggestions and see what works best! x

We used pre seed for our first baby and it worked! (Well, we got pregnant obvs don't know what part the pre seed played)
Bought some for starting trying again this month but didn't end up using it. The box should still be sealed. If Im lucky and do get my BFP I can post it to you @chlx3 xx

When are you due to test? I'm not due to Ovulate until CD 21 and today is day 2! That would be great if you're okay with that! It's just so expensive and I've just started a new job so moneys a bit tight BUT I just found out it's weekly pay so makes life so much easier! I've heard lots of good things saying they got their bfp in their first month using it, but I know my partner would be hesitant as he is with taking fertility vitamins as he wants to do it naturally, but starting to think it isn't going to be that easy where as if I get the applicators, I can use it 10 mins before sex and he wouldn't know! Which sounds really bad like I'm trying to baby trap him, which I'm NOT! Lol. I just don't think he would be over the moon with using something like that until it's been over a year and the doctors confirm there is an issue x

@Bubblesandtroubles Crossing my fingers for you!! My period is imminent unfortunately haha. But I have some great next cycle pals 😉 I'll b logging on first thing in the morning to see all the BFPs!

@chlx3 the lube? If so, I use Conceive Plus because it worked last time, I am tempted by pre-seed. If we don't have luck in the next 6 months I'll probably switch to pre-seed but you're right, the fertility lubes are pricey!

Morning. I have pre seed. I don’t think they help you get preggo. Just help mak things less…. Sore when you’re hVing to have sex every day round ovulation 😂

thank you for your wishes @Amy95 8’ totally bricking it. Xx
