Hi lovelies
Started actively trying this month so thought it would be nice if anyone wanted a journey buddy.
I’m 35, DH is 42.
Had 2 pregnancies in past (2002,2011) ending in MC
Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂
So tell me all about you and your journey 💋

Thanks @Dolly, I picked it because I am normally on here in work!!

I know its like it bad enough my partner getting excited month after month, I don't nned more friends and family to be the same. My mam would have the world told we were trying (no joke - she had everyone told my sis was going to x uni before she had even applied for said uni never mind been accepted)

I know that feeling, it does get better I promise. I had a MC when I didn't even know I was pregnant and was not trying. At first I couldn't watch ads with babies, and I had not been actively trying so I can only imagine how much worse it would be for you. Sending hugs! Flowers

I won't lie, I haven't a clue about implantation bleed etc. (that's why I am on here so often - learning so much), but to me those tests look very positive. I know it is not coming up on the digital one, but it is coming up on the old reliable ones.

Will you be able to get to a doc to get it confirmed?

hopeful31 · 05/02/2019 20:40

How often do you all dtd? Like during ur fertile window?

Louise392 · 05/02/2019 21:06

Hi @hopeful31 hope you are well?

We have been dtd every other day, sometimes every day since a couple days after my period ended on 27th, want to cover all basis this month, sperm WILL meet egg this month!! Lol.

My fertile week according to Ovia is starting tomorrow, Glow is saying it started yesterday and flo is saying it started last Friday so god knows! lol. I think Ovia seems more realistic to me and i am using OPK's this month and so far only faint lines so not due to ovulate yet.

Are you on your fertile week?

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 07:27

I'm still not 100% so I feel like we haven't dtd as much. This is my fertile week. And Thursday-Saturday is when I should ovulate. I'm just getting worried

@Louise392 sounds like u have all bases covered. Fingers crossed for u

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 08:06

Hopefully you have had some quality sperm above quantity :) you still have a few days left yet too.

That's what I am aiming for this month, dtd as much as possible then I've gotta fall pregnant surely, hubby is feeling it lol should be happy he's getting it so much haha

Oh my hope has well gone @hopeful- you know when you just know.
I’m ok with it though, I again think I missed it but I will be on him like a bitch on heat the end of the month 😂😝😂

And yes we need a BFP in our group! #fingerscrossed

Anyone else get a lot of diarreah on fertile week? Sorry if tmi, just seem to have it every day, must be hormones messing my body around.

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 18:27

Haha @Lammoshay, that's like me this month, fella usually moans he doesn't get enough now he's getting it every other or every night he doesn't seem as willing lol but he wants a little one just as much as me and now we have a bigger car ready :)

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 18:52

@Louise392 I would have diarrhoea on my fertile week and leading up at af too.

Dh and I will be on it like a dog on heat every day from now till Sunday. So I hope that's enough lol

@Lammoshay at least u have a positive attitude. When is af due ?

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 19:04

@Lammoshay are you 10dpo? you have lots of time yet, many people dont see a positive til af time or after x

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 20:03

Dtd and have been laying with my legs in the air for the last 15 mins lol. Think that's enough haha

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 20:09

Haha, i did that one evening when DH left the room, he would have taken the piss outta me for being dramatic but anything that helps get them swimmers up to the right place is a bonus i say!
May do that again myself later :)

Whoohoo on DTD @hopeful31 hope you are feeling better :)

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 20:23

I did wait until he left the room too lol. That's our 3rd time but I don't ovulate until sat-Sunday so I hope it's enough time. When do u ovulate?? Oh we will hopefully have each other for the tww. Lol @Louise392

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 20:29

lots of time left :)
I am not sure exactly, i have 3 apps and they all say different dates, flo is totally out, says today and i have not as my opk's are negative faint lines. Glow says Saturday and Ovia is looking around fri or Sat so we are around the same time :)

Did you say you are using OPK's too? x

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 20:39

I'm totally the same with apps. I'm loving fertility friend at the minute.

Yes I'm also using opks . The clear blue ones. What ones r u using ? Xx

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 20:43

I looked at that but wasnt sure, Ovia seems to be the best and most true one for me at the min, altho it doesnt tell you a date for ovulation you put your own in.

Ive bought some internet cheapies the one step ones, they seem to be working ok though, getting darker each day. Are the clear blue ones strips or plastic tests? I saw that digital one you can use the app for but it was £59 so passed on that one xx

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 21:18

I'm using the digital clear blue. But not the one that connects to ur fone. A bit much I thought. So I'm paying like £20 a month for them ( always try to get them on offer ) but I don't mind to be honest. If I ever get my bfp and have a kid I'm sure I'll be spending a lot more lol

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 22:24

When do you do your OPK? in the morning, afternoon, evening or more than once a day?
Some people have said on here to do it with fmu then in the afternoon too, ive been doing mine just in the morning.

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 22:44

I've only been doing mine in the morning. But I wonder if I should do it twice a day for the next few days to make sure I get my ovulation just in time. Mmmmm yes I think I'm going to do that

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 22:51

Think I will too this week just to make sure :) spk tomorrow @hopeful31 x
