March bus - bfp’s welcome.

[Woody096]

AF arrived today so I am now hoping for a March bfp.
This is cycle 6, ttc #2. Aged 32.

Never started a thread before, so hopefully you will join & we can symptom spot together!

Hi Kiltedsheep!
I’ve been reading about it a bit today.
Apparently it’s no better than your natural lubrication, but normal lube, spit, water can kill sperm.
Sometimes me and DH have been known to rub a bit of spit on there to get things going so thought it was a step up!

Also the low carb things interesting.
Apparently a study in the US took women going through IVF - the group on a low carb diet had a 56% success rate, the one on a high carb diet had a 12% success rate.
Thought it was worse a try!

Ah, that makes sense. And a bit of extra lube is a good idea.

After all, there's nothing particularly erotic about really 'trying'. Sometimes it all feels less like making love and more like a carefully planned military campaign.

...the one on a high carb diet had a 12% success rate.

Damn. Just had a massive bowl of pasta for dinner. Ah well.

I loves my carbs 😭 This kid better be worth it...

@RogueAnnJosh oh my word I did not know saliva was harmful to sperm! Just googled after you said that 😱 where did you get the pre seed or other things you mentioned? Thanks in advance!

Think I was reading this thread:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/2506502-Fertility-lubricants-which-helped-you-conceive-please

Ordered some conceive plus off amazon prime!

Thanks so much @RogueAnnJosh just ordered some! You're a star

Good luck Cammy! Let’s hope this is our month 🤞

Can I jump on the bus too
I'm 24
TTC dc2

Anyone TTC #3?

32
DD 4yo
DS 2yo
Cycle 6
Today is 3 DPO

Hi everyone, can I join?

After googling all the acronyms here's my info!

TTC #1
Cycle 1
Age 29

I guess this is the start of a big journey! Great to have people here to talk to about it! I've learned so much just by reading this thread alone!

@takayla that's great you've come to the right place and fingers crossed for that bfp soon!

Nothing much to report here. Wanted to dtd tonight but both stuffed from dinner onto cd10 tomorrow so need to get going! Going to start opks tomorrow

@Owlpatrol. Too stuffed to be stuffed? I'm on cd16 of a 35 ish day cycle. Dtd on cd 8, 12 and 15 so far, hoping we can go eod from now. Gave in and bought some Fertile Check lube from Boots. I find it's less pressure on me to "perform" during drier times!

@LookingAtTheStars89 yeah like the sound of that I might get some actually this week seeing as it's Valentine's 😂

Morning - can I hop on the bus a bit late?

Age - 32
TTC no.1
CD10
Cycle 2

I haven’t started bbt or opks yet, but for me ov could be anywhere, cycle varies wildly between 19 and 83 days...averaging at about 38 at the mo, and it’s being semi-Good so mildly hopeful and mainly JSing. Partner in London a lot for work, so have to take all opportunities!

Can I hop on please?

Age - 26
TTC #1
CD 2
Cycle #4

AF has arrived and I am willing the next 2 weeks to go by faster so that we can try again. I have been taking Omega 3 suppliments to help with CM but does anyone have any other recommendations for increased CM production? I find I get a lot of watery CM but not a lot of EW... Any tips appropriated!

Can I join too please?

Age - 38
TTC - 4
Cycle - 9
CD - 4

I’ve ordered opks and a bbt thermometer which should arrive tomorrow as my cycles can be a bit irregular, between 22 and 30 days. Is CD 5 a bit late to start temping though?

@EverythingNow. I'm ttc no. 4 too :-)
I'm on cycle 5 post miscarriage and cycle 9 in total.

@flyingplum. Hi :-) opks and the like can be a bit tricky when you're irregular - I'm irregular too, last cycle 42 days but in the past i have gone for ages between periods.

@Owlpatrol. You won't regret it lol. I even got to dtd this morning ;-) lol. That was a very nice wake up call!

@lookatthestars89 yeah, I have pcos and endo (chocolate cysts) so it’s really unpredictable. On the upside, I’m pretty good at tracking CM for ovulation, as that’s been the only way I’ve had for working out roughly when AF is visiting since I came of the pill 6 years ago 😁

@bee4s I’ve been drinking a glass of grapefruit juice a day as it’s meant to help CM and just in general drinking lots of water.
I’m on CD 10 and found I’ve more CM than usual this early on in cycle so maybe working!
@owlpatrol know the feeling DH and I went out for valentines last night and ate and drank far too much to dtd.
Dtd CD 8 though and once get smear test over with tomorrow can really get on with DTD haha

I'm on CD6 now and it's going so slow!! No idea of my ovulation day as just come off implant so will be checking daily. Just want t to hurry up!!

@Bee4S been on omega 3 aswell! Tried grapefruit but just makes it watery.

Got some ewcm today so plugging to dtd later haha! Looks like we might get snowed in anyway
