Who’s with?

Things I’m changing... massive coffee reduction... swapping from stevia, as I’ve read it can maybe have a contraceptive effect and I probably have about 8 teaspoons a day ....

Ava pregnancy calculator now says it should take us an average of 4 months.

This will be month 3.

We DTD virtually every day during the fertile window, and about two-three times during ‘peak’. Maybe I’ll give him a break 🤣

I’ve also reduced my exercise slightly.

This month we used pre-seed and I bought opks.

Partner has bought a home fertility test that’s arriving on Monday.

What’s everyone else doing?

Sorry for your loss @LouH1981

Sorry about your CP too @Broodyaf y miscarriage was in my first cycle trying. MC at 7-8 weeks.

MummyBearBoo · 10/02/2019 17:13

Really sorry to hear about your losses everyone - I think it's one of the hardest thing to get thru mine wasn't an MC but having a TFMR at 12 weeks was awful they even told me not to look when it passes coz it can look like a tiny baby 😢 I remember seeing my DD in her 12 week scan!! I think it's one if the most devastating things I've ever been thru being told that my baby who'd made it to 12 m weeks was not healthy enough to make it full term and that if he did his quality of life would be so badly compromised it would be kinder to have a TFMR now!!

kaytee87 · 10/02/2019 17:37

@MummyBearBoo that sounds awful Thanks I'm so sorry x

MummyBearBoo · 10/02/2019 17:43

It was over a year ago now I hope this pregnancy isn't a CP or and if it is real I hope the baby is ok - if I manage to get my second healthy baby I'm sending DH for the snip after don't want to go thru that again! If we did accidentally get pg a third time and baby was healthy I keep it no question! Xx

MummyBearBoo · 11/02/2019 19:28

How's everyone doing? X

Bluebell9 · 11/02/2019 19:48

I'm good thank you @MummyBearBoo. How are you?
I think I'm 4 DPO today, but only tracking BBT. Think I might try OPK next month if no BFP this month. Which ones does everyone use?

kaytee87 · 11/02/2019 20:14

I'm ok @MummyBearBoo not too hopeful for BFP this month as we only had sex 4 times.
Think I'm a couple of days dpo so a while to wait still.

@Bluebell9 I use clear blue dual fertility monitor

Broodyaf · 11/02/2019 21:58

Feeling rotten today but I had a few drinks with my auntie last nite. Did 2ICs today - one this afternoon and another one there now, not even a hint of a line. Feel yucky this evening, bloated and sore boobs, guess it's just AF en route 🙄
I know some of u will say it's not FMU but I waited 4hours in between pee's for 2nd one. Still BFN

MummyBearBoo · 11/02/2019 22:40

@Bluebell9 I'm ok still not bleeding I'm now 5 days late just getting inpatient but I'm not gonna test again til Friday unless I bleed before! I use clear blue digital OPKs they work for me!
@kaytee87 -I wouldn't worry we only DTD twice and we were/are pregnant dunno yet if we had a CP or are still pregnant got a BFP Saturday and a BFN yesterday but I am still not bleeding and yesterday my pee was more diluted! So waiting to see later later in the week! Xx

MummyBearBoo · 12/02/2019 09:42

I'm out had a bit of bleeding this morning so got to 5 days late and now I think my AF will start full force soon - must have been a CP xx

Bluebell9 · 12/02/2019 10:09

Sorry to hear that @MummyBearBoo Flowers

Broodyaf · 13/02/2019 05:26

12DPO & another BFN this morning 😥

TulipsTwoLips · 13/02/2019 10:56

Just checking in to see how everyone is getting on. AF started yesterday for me. Happy to get it out of the way then we can start properly trying! Still 🤞🏼 for an end of Feb success!

TulipsTwoLips · 13/02/2019 10:57

Sorry to hear that @MummyBearBoo 💐

Bluebell9 · 13/02/2019 11:40

I'm 6 DPO and I've got some light stomach cramps today.
How are you doing @MummyBearBoo?

@Broodyaf, when is AF due? Ive seen lots of people say they didn't get a BFP for ages. Fingers crossed.

Broodyaf · 13/02/2019 11:54

@Bluebell9 I'm due on tomorrow or Friday. Not holding out any hope at all. Have appt booked for GP for 25th Feb to start the ball rolling cos it's been 24cyclea now and I'm 36 and we couldn't do any more to help us get pregnant!

Bluebell9 · 13/02/2019 14:37

@Broodyaf what tests are you using?

Broodyaf · 13/02/2019 15:28

@Bluebell9 I'm using everything! OPKs every day, preseed, BBT, pregnacare, reflexology 🤷‍♀️

MummyBearBoo · 13/02/2019 18:17

I actually feel ok today my DH put a positive spin on it as though this was our 3rd cycle this was the month where we managed to DTD day before and day of ov and though it didn't last it worked so if we do it right it seems to work so will try to do same again! I just don't know when I'm due to ov so don't always manage to do it day before and that seems to be critical time coz then sperm are already there waiting for an egg! Xx

Bluebell9 · 14/02/2019 10:56

Thats a good way to look at it @MummyBearBoo. Fingers crossed for next month for you.

How are you gettig on @Broodyaf?

Broodyaf · 14/02/2019 11:38

13DPO and another BFN.
I would defo have got a line by now as I'm 100% sure I ovulated on 1st Feb.

MummyBearBoo · 14/02/2019 17:29

But @Broodyaf it could have implanted later so there's still hope! Xxx

kaytee87 · 14/02/2019 17:42

CD 26 and I'm getting AF cramps so think I'm probably out this month. Not too disheartened as I've got a busy March socially so if I'm not pregnant I can at least enjoy a drink.

Bluebell9 · 14/02/2019 21:17

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you @Broodyaf.
@kaytee87 it's good you are being postive about it. Good luck next month.

I've got really bad heartburn today.

Broodyaf · 15/02/2019 00:16

Thanks @Bluebell9
How r u feeling now?
