3dpo

Agree about trying to keep the sex exciting and not just functional. Been trying to switch it up a bit, but quite frankly we both “know” 😂 had sex after a bit of row last week, that was a low point 😅

poor guy, I think I’d struggle under the pressure!

literally zero symptoms at all for me, 5dpo I think. Worried I didn’t ovulate or ovulated a few days after peak (in which case we didn’t DTD at the right time). BBT has been so messed up after my MC and the wisdom teeth pain/infection messed things up even more.

boobs do feel bigger but I genuinely think it’s because I’ve put on a few pounds after a very unhealthy few weeks!

the Boots early ones gave me a faint line at 10DPO when I was preg with the MC. I do rate them however when I next start testing I’ll start with the wondfo strips then move over to Boots if there’s anything 🧐

Although I have two friends my age who had LOs so I guess as long as I deny knowing my teens people will think nothing at all 😁

I'll post my BFN tomorrow to make you feel better 😆

I honestly don't mind either way @MissEmily5 , I actually think I'd be a bit disappointed tbh, but for years it was my worst nightmare! I'm 40s so ppl stopped asking years ago if we were having more babies, and we have two older teens so it'll be a little embarrassing to tell others. Nearly got my figure back too...

@Hopethisendswell how do you feel about that? Happy either way? :)

@Cherry85 i can see the benefits of that! Sometimes it does feel like it just needs to be done which could definitely get old if this turns into a long time!

@Ontheflipside_ have you tested?! Have you got a picture?

that sounds fun honestly. Maybe you had strong ovulation this month - I become wild on my ovulation week hahah. My sex drive goes through the roof

I did a boots one last time I got pregnant and seemed to be the most reliable one.

I’ve heard good things about boots ones I think @Ontheflipside_ do you have a pic of the test you did?

We just felt it was becoming all encompassing and was damaging our relationship, so have now separated sex for sex and us, and HI for pregnancy - so romantic lol. It's definitely taken the pressure off, especially as we have a 4yr old - it means he can nip off and do his bit, and I can nip off and do mine and we aren't waiting for DS to go to sleep etc

😂

I don't think he'd normally mind, but we aren't even TTC, this month we got carried away and might end up with a surprise. Genuinely no idea why I'm like it this month. I did a test a couple of days after AF as it was so strange and that was before everything kicked off 🙃

lmao yeah I’ve been trying to keep sex interesting bc I don’t want it to feel like a chore for my partner, whereas all I am waiting for is the sperm 😂 but don’t wanna give him performance anxiety

I chatted with DH last night about that. From his viewpoint he's shattered because I'm a bit sex mad at the moment - no idea why 😳 and he thought bulk buying tests might mean months of this and wasn't sure how he'd cope 😂
I was hearing "months of this" as TTC whereas it was blind panic!

@onethingonly Home Insemination. We had tried for a few months but DH was struggling with ED so decided to give it a go

@Ontheflipside_ what is your usual cycle length? Before Christmas I was always 27/28 days but then I went to a 30 days, then 31, then 25 and now who knows! Really, really hoping that it’s implantation and not just early spotting 🙈 so strange that you said about the yellow tinge… I thought mine had a yellow tinge to it earlier on, that’s when it had a more EWCM texture. Let’s hope it’s on the route to our BFP.

@Hopethisendswell thank you! 🥰 have you managed to figure out if your OH is wanting to TTC if you don’t get your BFP this month?

Keep hoping 🤗have everything crossed for you xx

Hi ladies,
too many messages to respond to you all! But it sounds like the TWW really has taken hold of us all! 😂
I’m only 6dpo I believe, although I think I could be more 7dpo… I’m still spotting light brown blood but it’s mixed with creamy and almost EWCM… very very strange! I’m hoping it’s a good sign- my sister who is currently pregnant genuinely thought her period had come albeit light but she bled
for 4/5days but no it was implantation bleeding! So holding out hope, rightly or wrongly 🙈
I’m really hoping it’s not my period starting early, I’m only on CD23 but last month I had a very short cycle at CD25 which was rare for me!

Oh sorry @Cherry85 just seen your previous posts. Can I ask what HI is?

Thanks @Hopethisendswell ! You're still very early for bfp so fingers crossed!

Haha @Ontheflipside_ I've tried once to feel my cervix but either it's so high or my fingers are too short, not sure it's something I want to keep persevering with 🤣.

@Cherry85 oh my goodness yes, I haven't been on the pill since my teens (now 34) but yes I was terribly nauseous with that! I'm also soo prone to motion/travel sickness too 🥴. Where are you on your journey?

They're addictive aren't they?! I've been informed it's an indent not an evap, so that clears it up and explains why its lighter.
Thank goodness for the hive mind of mumsnet!

@Hopethisendswell i love a lines eye thread. I spend my evening scrolling on them. Sad I know. Sorry but I can’t see anything on yours. Can you try inverting it at all??

@onethingonly I was like that first time round - did you ever notice it with the pill? I was super sensitive to the hormones and it used to make me nauseous so got that symptom super early on.
