@lolacola13 thats exactly how im feeling at the min love oh to bits and we have a great sex life, i try and not tell him im in my fertile wk so i dnt put pressure on him but when im pouncing on him everynight feel like its a bit obvs. Must be hard on guys all this pressure to perform dnt want him to feel like thats the only reason i ever want sex, but on the flipside i want to be pregnant soo bad!

thisisouryrfx18 was meant to read kinda creepy rather than "kids creepy" btw haha. Well luckily I actually do find myself naturally more sexually aroused around the fertile window anyway and my DP finds it a massive turn on the thought of getting me pregnant (odd? Idk lol). But yeah we've been having to force ourselves to stay awake longer to fit in time to DTD as DS really makes it hard for us to find time now haha

lolacola13 · 08/04/2018 21:05

Yeh I agree if I don't catch the egg this month I'm going to not tell dp I'm ovulating and just continue doing it every other night . Try and barely mention it. It's important to still be a couple eh and have a sexy life that isn't just about baby making . Easier said than done eh! I might book us a date night or something I think it's my turn . Just feel like we're a few months in and now everything has become about ttc. Need to get the spark reignited a bit xx

@TwittleBee fot u meant that lol made me chuckle tho. I think sum guys do find the whole getting sumbody pregnant a turn on like look at me im a man lol @lolacola13 yh i think its better to try and not mention ov if hes feeling pressured but have a chat with him about sex not always needing to b about ttc think ppl assume guys want it 24/7 and men feel like they need to live up to that plus they dnt talk like us girls.

Yeh were both on the same page both dying for another baby but also need to chill out. He's more chill than me obvs so I'm gonna take a leaf outta his book and not make it all about ttc. And relax ..... imagine if all or husbands and partners had a dadsnet LOL where the sit and talk about stuff like we did ."cant believe how many times iv had sex this week mate, I'm exhausted" . 😂

lolacola13 My DP had a rather active Whatsapp group with the antenatal dads from when we had DS. It was just full of sex on there lol! And my DP just constantly bragged about how much he was getting (because we were TTC #2 already) which then meant I got it in the neck from the Mums group chat!

Well iv had a crazy nutty morning . I get hormonal migraines and I was trying to figure it if I got one a few days before my last period and Iv got one now two days post ov then what hormone causes it . So far no conclusion 😂😂😂. Could be rise in progesterone or oestrogen . What a waste of my day off so far lol xoxo

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 11:15

lolacola13 haha sounds like what I have been doing! I have had cramps this morning, still feel them now. Like you I am 2dpo and I found myself googling whether a moving fertilised egg (on way to uterus) causes cramps but just found that people say it could be a second egg being released and now I'm freaking out at prospect of twins LOL

lolacola13 · 09/04/2018 11:32

@TwittleBee WHO ARE WE! 😂. Urs is funnier than mine in fairness . I would give my right arm for twins . Hard work but such fun to watch and a built in play mate . I have big gaps between my two dcs and I always found it harder to occupy them . They're 12 and 5. And fight like they're cat and dog lol they adore each other and do play and have fun but the 12 has his limits lol xx

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 11:49

lolacola13 I swear we just make it harder for ourselves with this TWW by over analysing everything LOL! I have no clue how anyone copes with twins! I saw a family with triplets yesterday (like how do they sleep/eat/wash/function!). My DS is only 10 months so I think our next one will already have a play mate (hopefully!) without the need of a twin haha

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 09/04/2018 12:12

Happy Monday 🙃 chomping my pineapple now and ordered a full weeks shop of iron rich foods for my womby nest making last night. I also hear that light exercise helps with blood flow which can only be positive, so I'm going to walk round the corner to macdonalds in a mo 😂 probably not very funny but I'm feeling hormonal so it's happening.
Hope you're all having a nice busy/nice relaxing Monday! X

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 14:34

GoldilocksTheGraceless FYI you mentioning the M place made me go grab some for lunch too damn it hahah!

HidCat · 09/04/2018 14:56

@GoldilocksTheGraceless @TwittleBee me too. I'm blaming the prizes they have on offer. In reality it's comfort food having just left EPU after having swabs due to unusual bleeding and pains. Probably nowt but they wanted to be sure. I really need to step away from the McD's though.....

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 14:59

HidCat hope it all turns out okay! I need to step away from it too, I have a breakfast from there once a week at least and past 2 weeks I have spent £40!! Disgusting, I could have spent that on FRERs lol!

I'm ok thanks @thisisouryrfx18 and @TwittleBee just bummed that it's still lingering. Every time I think "a few more weeks and I'll be back to trying" something else crops up. Have to remind myself that as much as this sucks, others have been through worse whilst TTC and hope that this is a one off.

@HidCat ur entitled to be hacked off ive had to put off ttc before and its soo frustrating! Feel like ive wasted time because of it but i had to for different health reasons.

HidCat · 09/04/2018 21:07

@thisisouryrfx18 It's been a bit of weird year tbh as In April 2017 I made the appointment to have my implant out mid June 2017 but they couldn't find it so had to have a referral to a clinic with scanner in the relevant room which took until the end of August. Caught in the November but had MC in January then drawn out with hcg not falling very fast to now. Works out I have been trying to get this happening for a year! Only actively for 3 of those of course but in my head it feels like the full yr. Seems stupid to think of it that way really but I've been geared up for it all that time and in the last few weeks I've been feeling positive and doing opks etc only to have that slapped in my face, again. Aaaaannnd relax lol. On the Malibu now so should chill out in a bit lol

@TwittleBee Ooh that's like a whole week's worth of POaS (more if they're on offer lol)!

TwittleBee · 10/04/2018 06:06

HidCat that sounds bloody exhausting going through all that and of course very frustrating. Really feeling for you. So super hope you get a sticky BFP soon. Xx

HidCat · 10/04/2018 07:20

@TwittleBee thanks Hun. I hope you get yours too.

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 10/04/2018 08:00

Morning 😊 @HidCat thank you for sharing your story, I'm so pleased for you (and all of us) that we have spaces to open up about things like that these days. Fx that you get your beautiful BFP very soon x

I just tested on a cheapo on 9DPO which of course was a BFN 😂 ah dear. The only reason I tested so early was that I dreamt of getting a BFP and then of lining up lots of different tests all with BFP and then telling my OH. It was such a good dream. Well maybe it will happen in a few days! 😬

HidCat · 10/04/2018 09:25

@GoldilocksTheGraceless still early so not out yet! 🤞
