Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@MrsEG I'm oddly not so anxious about getting pregnant again as like you say its a different sperm and different egg, its more the doing of the deed 😂 due to some spotting we had decided to hold off until after the 12 weeks so haven't done it in about 9 weeks 😱We have just booked a night away for next weekend though so I am sure it will happen then if we don't manage before!

@starkid its so true that it only takes one time as the cycle we got our BFP we only DTD once during FW 😂

@dahlia123 thank you lovely, we are just waiting for my cycle to regulate again after the MMC so we can get back to trying!

@LokiCat that is looking like a positive to me

@Jessikka thats good that you are feeling better 😊

@purplefig thank you lovely. We had a really rough couple of weeks with scans and trips back and forward to the hospital but starting to feel like my normal self, back to the gym (#FitFeb will live on 😂) and work and my head is in a good place. Sad having to put the pregnancy vitamins away and reach back for the conception ones but trying to see the positives where we can and given time we will try again!

@Dollywilde good luck with SMEP thats what we need to try but honestly I don't know if we would have the stamina 😂

FlapJackered · 08/05/2019 15:47

Hi lovely people. I hope everyone is doing ok?
Sorry I have been a bit absent, AF appeared and had a minor af meltdown as you all have probably experienced before 😂
I have decided to take the plunge with Ava as the resale value is pretty good and I think I need to try and chill with the whole ttc thing a bit and I think not temping every morning would help that...hopefully!

How are people getting on with it?
Does anyone have a discount code I could use?

MrsEG · 08/05/2019 15:49

@FlapJackered I have a link hun, let me dig it out for you. Also we are very close to thread limit here - I’ll set up a new one!!

MrsEG · 08/05/2019 15:52

New thread ladies - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3580537-TTC-1st-Baby-Thread-17

I haven't tagged everyone as there are so many of us - will try and tag those most recent posters in to it now though!

Dollywilde · 08/05/2019 15:56

Crikey @mrsEG we’ve talked a lot! Thanks for the new thread :)

Haha @lozzlepop DH looked a bit ashen when I explained the schedule to him over dinner last night.. will have to see how we get on!!

@ELW85 someone beat me to it on explaining SMEP! I’m on cd11 at the moment, my cycles are average 31 days though so ovulation not due for nearly a week. So impatient!

LokiCat · 08/05/2019 16:16

@MrsEG thanks for creating the new thread!

My stats:
Age: 28
Cycle 6, but mc in March
CD24 hoping ovulation is tomorrow!

I managed to get away slightly early and should be home in 20 mins 🤞🏽

@FlapJackered sorry to hear about AF. I hope the Ava bracelet helps!

@Meenabeena sorry about AF, as well! Understandable to feel disheartened by it. Hopefully a new cycle brings some positive news!

@Lozzlepop a night away sounds great, I hope it helps with the anxiety!
I had some spotting when we DTD at 5 weeks, then the heavy bleeding started.. so I've been thinking I'll be very anxious about having sex if I do get pregnant again.

Mirana · 08/05/2019 16:42

@LokiCat That's a negative opk. I use the NHS ones which are the same as cheapies and have seen my specialist twice with tests like that, they are negative, but definitely stronger than a "normal" line so you may be starting to surge. FMU makes no difference with opk's and most people usually surge in the early afternoon.

For reference have attached my positive opk from the weekend. The test line should match the control line, or ideally be considerably darker. I've been through the ringer trying to understand these so hope it helps!

And yes there are tears on the wrapper haha, I rang my mum and cried Blush

Meenabeena · 08/05/2019 16:46

@LokiCat ah we are kinda the same.
Also 28, cycle 5 of trying and currently on CD 3.

Did anyone else notice their period change when they started TTC? Mines gone lighter. I used to have at least 4 days now I'm pretty much finished after 2 days :/

Wingz93 · 14/05/2019 13:31

Hope you don't mind if I join? I'm 26, TTC #1 since November of last year. Never thought it would take this long, or be this stressful for that matter. Nothing worse than when AF arrives, so disheartening!
Don't even know when my AF is due this month -first cycle I have used OPKs properly and had any clear signs of ovulation (EWCM etc.) , but I got 2, borderline 3, positive OPKs around a week and a half apart. No idea what that means but heyho. Onwards we go!

Good luck to you all! 🤞 and huge congratulations to those with their BFP

ELW85 · 14/05/2019 22:09

@Wingz93 hi - we’re on this thread now: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3580537-TTC-1st-Baby-Thread-17

Just so you don’t think we’re ignoring you!! And welcome, you’ll get lots of support here :)

DanceMagicDance1 · 19/05/2019 12:31

Hello again. So we DTD and now it's my first two week wait. I was just wondering (and I'm sure I'm being over paranoid!!) should you stick to a pregnancy diet during the 2 week wait?

Obviously I'm not drinking and am being reasonably healthy but should I avoid mouldy cheese and only have 2 cups of tea a day (not enough 😩) for 2 weeks a month while we're trying???
