lolacola13 Well you only really need to DTD once I guess? But even then you'll potentially have sperm still in you from 7 days ago. We DTD last night and night before. Potentially will do it again tonight. Ooo love an arricle, will give that a read over my morning coffee (if DS let's me lol)

Cakelaur oh that would have been lovely! Just do it once every has finished TTC if it's not gonna take everyone tooooo long? I'm wondering if maybe we should at least warn our parents?

TwittleBee · 07/04/2018 06:47

Blimey it says it only takes 5 minutes for the sperm to get up there!

@thisisouryrfx18 I either bake them then use a fork to pull out the insides and eat it like mash or bake them into chips / wedges. They seem to hold more water than regular potatoes so they don't get as crispy as as regular chips though.

TwittleBee · 07/04/2018 08:47

I literally just shove them into anything. Last night I made sweet potato mash and stirred it into our chilli (so it was hidden). Night before we had sweet potato chunks in a curry. I love doing them roasted so they get all caramelized on the outside. They are so versatile.

Cakelaur · 07/04/2018 10:01

@TwittleBee me too! I LOVE them. Roasted in a broccoli and chorizo salad is my fave!!

susso · 07/04/2018 10:12

@TwittleBee yeh the article then led me to google and the most consistent response I got was 45mins to twelve hours lol. Ruined with ovulation pains today and backache probs too much dtd . Looking forward to a few nights off next week lol. This ttc is exhausting

So hard not to go insane bloody hormones making me go crazy and sure I'm pregnant again 🙈 (have been once but MC, thought I was last month but wasnt) been up the last 3 nights with insomnia and weeing alot. Just tried my cervix and it's very high can only just reach it. Fingers tightly crossed. Why do our bodies trade us like this!!!

@lolacola13 shagfest, they keep on coming 😂😂 brill😂 I will agree with you though it is soooo tiring, never thought I could have too much sex but I soon put that one to bed 😂 I think I ov'd 31st March so just waiting now! However we're still trying to DTD every day as I'm not 100%!
@thisisouryrfx18 we Defo do!!🙈

susso · 07/04/2018 19:55

Guys what are you thoughts on those IC tests? The ones that are literally just the little strips? Are they accurate? They claim to be 10mIU sensitivity but they have taken a while to show up BFP for some people. I know it's too early to be testing just wondering whether I should keep on using them whilst I wait a few days to use my FRER's or not 🙄xx

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 07/04/2018 19:56

Hi lovely nutters :) DP and I have been babysitting for our friends all day today. They have a 2.5yo and 12wo who are both excellent kids, I don't know how they have done it! Having a tiny baby fall asleep on your chest is the hardest thing when in the TWW! I have eaten my pineapple today, also had a tonne of beetroot to try and increase my lining, aka uterine nest 😍, and have started carrying my knitted wool slippers everywhere with me! X

Hey hey that's my Ov window finished now . I'm 1dpo...did it this morning for good measure too. I'm actually all touched out I know that sounds weird and gross but just happy enough doing work here with a face mask on happy enough with no one touching me lol I'm not having sex tonight lol. Don't get me wrong love my dp.. love having sex but everyday for a week basically and it was becoming a bit mechanical . Must try harder at not letting the ttc become too much pressure . Even dp was feeling the pressure to perform yest .

TwittleBee · 08/04/2018 20:12

lolacola13 i understand you there! Had a session that was totally mechanical after the positive OPK, just felt odd and kids creepy haha. We hadn't had a session like that before. I'm 1dpo too btw. Eeek.
