@flapjackered, thanks hun! We're doing an office move around tomorrow so should keep me busy at least! Am well impressed you're doing smep, back on that horse 🐎Must feel like zero to 60 though?! Hope your dh can keep up!! Good luck tonight, sending erotic vibes your way... Is that too weird, even for this thread?! Xx

Anyone able to help with a fertility friend ap query?? I entered by bfp when I got it, deleted the whole thing during my 'sod it all' tantrum after the bad news. Now we're going to ttc again, thought I'd get the ap back, as I'd paid subscription etc. I've got my account back, with all the old data. Have entered the miscarriage.. But it is still saying 'congratulations, you're pregnant'?! 🤔 Might just keep entering data and see if it updates?! Xx

FlapJackered · 14/03/2019 22:13

@Fivebyfive2 nothing is too weird for this thread! 😂 Your erotic vibes worked as we have just Dtd! My buttocks ache!! 😂 I just peed on an opk though (despite definitely not doing them this cycle 🙄) and there is not even a shadow of a line on it so I think I maybe wasting my energy.
That is weird with the app. Did you put in your mc as a period too? I did both on fertility friend and it has gone back to a normal cycle and no sign of the pregnancy note anymore. If not maybe send them an email as I think they are pretty good with helping.

Fivebyfive2 · 14/03/2019 22:33

@flapjackered, woooo get in girl!! Don't worry too much about the opk for now, at least you're getting some fun practice in 🙂

Ah ha! I entered medium bleeding in the pms bit as well as Miscarriage and now the square has gone dark red. It's no longer saying I'm pregnant and seems to be back to normal. Thanks for the tip! Xxx

Crossfitgirl · 14/03/2019 22:41

Glad to see some of you ladies are back to ttc again on here :-) have a lovely sex filled weekend (I know it's Friday tomorrow but I need to feel like it's the weekend already) I really need some erotic vibes also, as I haven't had sex for ages and I feel quite bad about it after all the crazed ttc sex. It's not cos I don't feel like it as I feel fine! Just haven't been arsed and weekends have been busy. Any sex tips and sex motivation happily received! Determined not to lose the intimacy from ttc!

Pinksunset1 · 14/03/2019 22:45

@flapjackered thank you I’m going to take all your advice and bug my doctor lol. Good luck TTC yourself x

SunnyL88 · 14/03/2019 22:48

So my ovia app has tracked my fertile window for this week but when you do an online ovulation calendar it says I should have ovulated last week. I’m due my period On the 27th and have been regular since November but I feel nothing g is happening as I have high prolactin , 900 now. It’s stressing me out ttc knowing I probably can’t get a bfp while my levels are so high 😭

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 14!
KatBeCool · 15/03/2019 05:17

@Fivebyfive2 congratulations on passing the exam! And I got a good laugh at your till lady, I'd have a weird expression too.

@BabyO1988 what CD are you and how long are your cycles again? It'll happen, just be patient.

@SunnyL88 have you seen a Dr about your prolactin levels? I'm sure there's something that can suppress it.

@FlapJackered you're not going to DTD twice a day again, are you?

BabySquid · 15/03/2019 06:12

Thanks @FlapJackered and @BostonFern I'm feeling a bit better this morning and my temp is a more normal 36.40 today! Scared I'm going to miss ovulation this month, we haven't DTD since Sunday due to tiredness and me making cupcakes till late for today's Red Nose Day bake sale at work, couldn't DTD last night because I've got my smear this afternoon and I probs won't wanna do it tonight after the smear. Apps say I'm due to ov on Sunday but with my temp all over I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️ was supposed to opk last night but totally forgot. I just don't want to waste a month now that I've taken my soy iso's and got my progesterone diet for after ov.

FlapJackered · 15/03/2019 07:28

@Crossfitgirl we hardly Dtd when I was pregnant it was actually good to have a break after all the smeping so I completely get it! I seem to remember you had some preeetty good seduction techniques in your ttc days! 😂 I seem to remember straddling him on the sofa being one of them and stripping naked is a popular choice on here! 👌🏻 😂.

@Fivebyfive2 great, I am glad it worked! Are you temping this month or are you just leaving it all until after af?

@Pinksunset1 good luck! Let us know how it goes. Hopefully your cycle will be back to normal soon.

@BabySquid try not to worry, if ov is likely to be Sunday you still have time. It only takes one time.
If you can get on it tomorrow morning you should be fine. 🤞🏻

@KatBeCool definitely not!! I will be impressed if we even keep the every other day going this month as I am already tired and we have only done it twice! 😂
DH better hope for a post mc miracle though because next cycle I am planning an exact copy of the winning cycle, which means a LOT of sex and the Isoflavones which made me cry all the time 😭😂
Have you got a Dtd plan for this cycle? Are you using the opks?

BabyO1988 · 15/03/2019 08:34

@KatBeCool I'm on CD 29 and my cycles are around 43 days which is rubbish and makes me worry we won't be able to conceive on them.
I do get the ewcm so I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating so FX. X

MrsAW2018 · 15/03/2019 09:00

Morning ladies. Sorry have been so busy this week i haven't managed to keep up with the thread.

Currently 10/11DPO and got a BFN on an IC this morning (I caved and had to POAS). I think it's unlikely this month tbh even though we SMEPed. In fact, the more I think about it the more sure I am that it's not going to happen without some medical assistance😭.

Hope you're all doing well & I hope to be more active on here over the weekend (although we're going to a wedding tomorrow so might have to catch up on Sunday!) xx

Lauraloop1516 · 15/03/2019 09:17

Hi all, can I join? We will start TTC in May - but I'm finding it hard to not obsess about it (hence lurking here!). I've been taking various supplements since December. I'm just really worried we're going to have trouble. I'm coming up to 31 and we've been married for 10 years. For basically the whole of our married life we've just used the withdrawal method and we've never had a 'scare'...

Lozzlepop · 15/03/2019 09:27

@Pinksunset1 that must be so frustrating, some people are lucky that their cycles regulate quickly after coming bc and some don't but your doctor should have been more helpful especially given you are actively TTC. Hopefully another Dr will be more helpful and have some answers.

@Fivebyfive2 thats amazing news hun, well done 👏🏻

@MrsAW2018 morning! You are not out until AF hun! Oooh a wedding, how lovley - hope you have a fab time.

Rant time..... I am so tired today its unreal, had to help the OH at work and we never got home until 10pm, McDonalds for dinner then bed by 11 😴The OH is working from home so was only me that had to get up at 6am and drive in the pissing wind and rain to work, but at least its Friday huh? 8DPO AF predicted between Tuesday and Friday of next week, will try and hold off to POAS. How is everyones weekends looking?

MrsAW2018 · 15/03/2019 09:49

@Lozzlepop ahh thanks!! Got to go last minute shopping today for some shoes😩🙄. Hope AF doesn't show but I'm not quite sure when it's due. Two of my apps say Monday and the other says Wednesday. So it will probably be Tuesday lol. How are you getting on?

SunnyL88 · 15/03/2019 10:00

Yes @KatBeCool I’m under endocrinologist but everything is taking ages and I’m impatient 😂

thumper59 · 15/03/2019 10:01

Morning ladies hope your all well just popping my head in to have a catch up!

As far as the sex front goes- have sex loads and loads! Once that BFP comes around you won't be feeling like it 🤢 I don't even want OHs trouser snake no where near me at the min haha!

KatBeCool · 15/03/2019 10:21

@BABYO1988 do you temp? That will tell you if you're ovulating.

@FlapJackered I did end up buying opks to make sure my timing isn't off with all these pills. Haven't started dtd yet but DH is already asking when. So we're starting on CD10, I'm on CD6, and every other day until I get a three day temp rise.

@Lauraloop1516 welcome.

Lozzlepop · 15/03/2019 10:41

@MrsAW2018 nothing like a bit of last minute panic shopping!! Fingers crossed she stays away! I am ok, tired today so looking forward to 5pm rolling around and heading home! Not feeling too hopeful this cycle, we only managed to DTD twice in the run up to OV (once being 6 days before 🙈) but we shall need to wait and see.

@thumper59 so good to see you, how are you getting on?

thumper59 · 15/03/2019 10:46

@Lozzlepop it only takes the once! I'm good thanks hope you are too! Just struck down with the nausea and tiredness. Two weeks today till our early 8 week scan so once that's out the way I'll start getting excited if all's well!

Lozzlepop · 15/03/2019 11:00

@thumper59 that is very true! We did DTD 2 days before OV so you never know!! Im good thanks, its starting to feel a bit more springlike which is fantastic! Oooooh thats exciting, are you going to a private clinic?

thumper59 · 15/03/2019 11:41

@Lozzlepop I have my fingers toes and eyes crossed for you! I don't think the cycle we conceived we DTD on ovulation day, it was 2 days or so before. Yeah we are going to a private one I can't wait- all being well we will give the grandmas cards and scan pics for Mother's Day. 😃. I hope all is well- symptoms come and go and you just never know do you! Will be nice to know something is there and it's not just pizza and chocolate making me bloat 😂

Lozzlepop · 15/03/2019 11:54

@thumper59 haha thank you lovely ☺️ thats reassuring to know!
Awwwww thats such a lovely way to announce it!! Oh I know I can imagine hun, my friend is pregnant just now and said it was so surreal as the midwife never asked for any "proof" so to speak just booked her in for her scan based on the info she gave 😂She has had the easiest pregnancy, no cravings, no sickness, no pains plus she looks just bloody beautiful with is all 😂

starkid · 15/03/2019 12:13

@thumper59 - trouser snake 😂 Poor DH! Glad to hear you're doing well, that would be such a lovely mothers day present Smile

So when counting DPO, do you all count the actual day of ovulation, or just the day after is DPO1? Thanks, I don't count it but was wondering what others did.

thumper59 · 15/03/2019 12:13

@Lozzlepop yeah it's so weird they just take your word for it haha. I've done so many tests since for evidence 😂 I'm just trying not to worry because well it's pointless really worrying isn't it! X

thumper59 · 15/03/2019 12:14

@starkid I know bless him we've DTD a handful of times since finding out. The rest of the time I feel too sick or fall asleep as soon as I get in from work 😂😂
