RetroHippy · 09/01/2014 12:03

Bloody hell (literally), I'm out Sad. AF arrived this morning just 18 days after my last period. I guess that explains why I kept getting negative OPKs, seems I'd ovulated early this month.

Humph. Suppose it's a little too optimistic to hope for implantation bleeding seeing as we've only been SWI since Sunday?

Sometimesbrunette · 09/01/2014 12:06

I'm ttc number 1 and 1st cycle. well, if I'm honest, really the 3rd cycle but this is the first month i have checked ovulation every day. a few down below pains but i could be imagining them. good luck to all x

mama31 · 09/01/2014 12:14

Ok so I want to throw everything at it this month! I am taking pregnacare vitamins, oil of evening primrose up to ovulation only, have my sex plan organised already ;) DH has been on wellmans for a couple months now and is being very healthy! I am planning healthy eating from next week, I exercise regularly (running/walking and starting yoga this month). Any other recommendations to increase my chances?????

I am also going to check out

mama31 · 09/01/2014 12:15

Reflexology and acupuncture but probably won't be able to afford that until next month bankrupt after Christmas :(

Would love to know if there is something else I could eat, drink or take to increase fertility if anyone has read anything of interest recently! Oh and pineapple core has already been tried! So not going to bother with that!!!

Hopemummi · 09/01/2014 12:25

Mama best tips I've had are drink loads of water n get loads of sleep.

angelicjen · 09/01/2014 12:44

Goddam AF got me, I'm out.

3 days early too. I was hoping it was ib yesterday, but can't kid myself today. Does mean it was a short luteal phase but it was my first cycle off the pill so I know I shoudn't worry. Saying it will stop me worrying right?

1974rach - hope you're not too disappointed - big hug and see you next bus!

Good luck to everyone still on here :)

EnglishGirlAbroad · 09/01/2014 12:44

I'm going down the venos route...except it's not venos it's benilyn but still contains the needed guaifenesin. See if that helps with lots of ewcm! Sorry tmi!
Gonna also give pineapple core a go. Worth trying all these stupid tricks!

Choccywoccydodah · 09/01/2014 12:50

Mama I drink grapefruit juice up to ov can't be from concentrate though!

OP posts:
RetroHippy · 09/01/2014 12:51

anjelic it sucks doesn't it? Can't believe that I've had one 50 day cycle followed by one 18 dayer!

My free fertility monitoring app is thoroughly confused Grin

mama31 · 09/01/2014 13:00

So pure grapefruit juice choccy?? I do already have quite a bit of ewcm around ovulation but I guess the more the better? Afraid of drowning DH :/ but might give it a go!

MrsKoala · 09/01/2014 13:08

Mama i swear by concieve plus lube, 1tbsp of manuka honey for you and DH per day (increases blood flow to your uterus and genitals apparently - also it will ward off colds so i take it throughout pregnancy as i can't be doing with the lurgy and no medicine), a few mins of bicycles in the air with your legs after sex, and if you have time stay laying down with a pillow under your bum for 30 mins. Oh and always orgasm after DH.

We tried temperature taking and ovulation sticks etc for 8months with no luck then tried all of the above and was pregnant immediately. Same with this time, did all of the above and got pregnant first month after only 3 shags.

mama31 · 09/01/2014 13:11

Thanks mrskoala!!! Certainly sounds interesting! Why do you say orgasm after DH??? Maybe that's where we are going wrong! DH will never finish until I have (sorry tmi totally oversharing) and I think he will hate that idea but I might have to force that one on him lol

sazzlehopes · 09/01/2014 13:14

MrsK...why orgasm after OH? I've not heard that before...

Mama, venos has increased a little more for me but I wasn't wild on the taste but i'd do it again or else maybe buy conceive plus next month.

I'll keep you posted on my reflexology too x

sazzlehopes · 09/01/2014 13:16

Mama I'm the same, i always get to go first, attentive DH Wink Blush but now i think crazy hoping clutching at straws that is where we've been going wrong this last year!!

MrsKoala · 09/01/2014 13:19

Because the pulsing of your cervix/uterus when you orgasm is there to pump the semen up. If you come first you will be pumping before the semen gets up there and could possibly be pumping it out, or at least not pumping at all once he orgasms, so his swimmers don't get the little bit of help they may need.

TMI ALERT - We sort of 'keep me on the point' then DH finishes and then finishes me, then i quickly hoik my arse in the air and start peddling like mad - which makes us laugh if nothing else.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 09/01/2014 13:35

massive over sharing on the bus today!! I've heard also about him coming first.... DH & I always do it the otherway round! I've also heard deep penetrative positions help too... gets his swimmers as close to your cervix as possible.

1974rach · 09/01/2014 13:40

so sorry to angelic and retro

at least we get to pick the best seats on the feb bus...

pate, Stilton and wine for lunch for me (wow, that is so healthy ha ha)

mama31 · 09/01/2014 14:15

Full flow is here! Hoorah!!!!!! Finally! :) I'm actually happy! Dragging in for days is not good!

Anyway mrskoala that is something new for me to try!!!! Thankyou for your tmi info, as it's never offensive on here, we need all the detail we can get ;) sazzle we now have a new plan ;)

Going to get some grapefruit juice today as well, thanks for the tips choccy. And perhaps manuka honey if it doesn't break the bank :/ does normal honey not work?? I have that on toast most mornings lol

Just ordered opks and have to admit I also ordered those hateful IC preg tests.....not sure why as I got lines on those about 6 times over the last week but I knew they weren't true as I always get lines on them! however I can not afford FRER X10 so hateful, unreliable IC's will have to do! At least I don't actually take them seriously now! Haha!

sazzlehopes · 09/01/2014 14:17

I'm loving this overshare! Hilarious!
Ok so will try that out, thanks Team TMI.
Ok Mrs K why the peddle too....i do legs in the air but no peddling?!!

bellaboo88 · 09/01/2014 14:19

Angelicjen, I'm with u there... Had my fist period after pill & got AF a few days early....did wonder about LP but tbh I'm classing this one as my first cycle as body may have been confused last cycle. AF has been pathetic & barely there but I'm on the 6th day & fed up. Best mates announced her bfp this week, I understand how it feels now, happy but jealous.

Off on holiday in morning so I'm sorry if I get no WiFi but good luck to all for next few days!!! X

mama31 · 09/01/2014 14:19

Sorry to the others who got af :( I will be joining you all on the Feb bus as bfp now due 2nd Feb!

But I will hang around here and see all the bfp's rolling in! Too early to join feb bus now!

Hopemummi thanks for the tips also! I already get a lot of sleep and drink lots of water so will keep that up! Good to know :)

mama31 · 09/01/2014 14:20

Good questioning skills sazzle :) yes why do you need to peddle! Sazzle our DH's will be thinking we have def lost the plot! Hahaha!

sazzlehopes · 09/01/2014 14:30

It's alright Mama, after the pineapple core, the maca powder, the purchase of the expensive cbfm, the grapefruit juice and then when I cracked open the Venos...that was it for DH, he just laughed and said we'll call it baby Venos if this works! If I peddle tonight after dtd he really won't bat an eyelid now!

PolytheneGirl · 09/01/2014 14:35

Congrats to all with BFPs today and commiserations to those with AF.

Still playing the waiting game here. I've probably exhausted google looking for answers that aren't there.

Thanks for all the TMI. Getting an action plan ready for next month already! Agreed though DH will probably try to get me sectioned if I start peddling! Lol.

Thought you'd all like to know that my DH has access to the Cadbury's staff shop and we get 10 cream eggs for a quid! (Hands off ladies - he's mine!!)

mama31 · 09/01/2014 14:35

Hahaha! Sazzle I'm glad you have a lovely understanding and attentive ;) DH!!! :) well I won't be able to start peddling until next wkend but enjoy! I hope it works for you ;)
