Sperm Meets Egg (hopefully)

[AllHopeAndNoResults]

Hi guys,

I’ve done a few threads on here for ttc but this month I am in a new positive state of mind and I am determined to get that BFP!!

I’ve been to the GP today who said my bloods have come back fine for hormones etc and just that I am very low on vit d (which I knew from last check up and have been taking vitamin tabs twice a day) anyway....

She has said there is nothing to suggest any infertility or that I’m not ovulating and that perhaps I am ovulating and not timing it. I was convinced at this appointment I would be prescribed chlomid, but no she said that I just need to come back in 2 months with a new blood test and see from there...

I came away disheartened and a little bit like I’d given up until I thought hold on she said there was no reason to suggest in infertile or have a problem therefore I am fertile and need to work harder! So I got online ordered loads of OPKs, preseed and a basal thermometer.

I also downloaded Sperm Meets Egg and I am determined this month to follow rule by rule. Sorry that was very long! But I am due AF any minute so will be tracking from about day 8 anybody want to do the journey with me??

Again sorry for how long that was!!

@Makingawish exactly! 😉

Hey ladies sorry can't keep up, had book club tonight so only just getting home.

Welcome to all the chat @Faifaye!!

I'll obviously be disappearing tomorrow evening so thanks for all the well wishes @AllHopeAndNoResults @Makingawish @Carley321! I'll keep you updated as much as I can but so far still no AF!!! 🤞🏾🙈🤞🏾🙈🤞🏾I'll be reading the messages but probably won't be able to respond but keeping my fingers crossed for you all as you're in your TWW and still DTD!

Also Hope is a glorious name might be putting that in the hat for myself too!!

Baby dust to you all I need to pack now!! 💫

@tinyole I’m glad you managed to see our messages and give us a quick update before you go!

Sounds promising but I won’t say to much in case I jinx it but everything is firmly crossed for you. Have a good time and I look forward to hearing from you when you’re back x

Haha @AllHopeAndNoResults @Makingawish thank god for that, I don’t do subtle well 🤣.

@Skyla01 yea I’m with @AllHopeAndNoResults with the DP knows it’s every other day so he is the one that needs to make the move! 🤦‍♀️😂 silly but true.

Yoga is something Iv been looking into but a little nervous to start alone. Any advice?

Well done @Makingawish good work! Not a long to wait. And it’s the weekend now. So go and find a well deserved treat to help pass the time by 😊

I have been attending reflexology with the last 3 months. I absolutely love it and I have been seeing positive changes in my body and my cycle. I have also been listening to fertility meditations 💜

@carastarchild that sounds fabulous that it’s working for you and you’re seeing positive changes! What do you mean by listening to fertility medications?

@Carley321 exactly, after all the prep and work we put into it the least they can do is initiate 😂

I didn’t manage to dtd last night for various reasons but we will tonight so I’m confident at this stage every other day is ok. Still haven’t hit a peak day yet so I’m not too fussed about missing last night, we did the night before and will tonight.

@allhope I found meditations on YouTube that help with fertility 💚 what are you using to test for LH? Sometimes the boys need to restock 😉 don't worry about it 😁

@carastarchild I’m so silly I read it as medications!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ll have a look on YouTube. I only use cheapies and put into the Premom app. What about you? Is there something else I can be doing?

@Carastarchild I just had a quick look and although I’m not into that kind of thing I think I might give it a go.
That said though if my DP walks in on me he is going to think I’m bloody mad and probably conception has gone to my head waaaaay to much 😂 he is very much a believer in things will happen when they are supposed to. I just about managed to get him on board with all the vitamins and preseed. He is honestly going to think I’ve gone crackers 😂 but every little helps and I’m open minded.

How have you found it? Is it more just about relaxing and taking away the stress?

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well today! 😊💜 I'm currently halfway through a looooong drive 😭 xx

I think that’s fine... those little sperms are replenishing and recharging ready to get stuck right in at the disco 😂🤣. And you haven’t had you peak yet so it’s all good.

I think DP thinks I went crackers long ago so I will be having a gander at the fertility meditation too 🤦‍♀️🤣

@Makingawish good old road trip to take your mind off everything that is ttc. Have fun!

@carley321 haha they better not hang around the entrance again, have you had a look at which mediation you want to do? There’s so many it’s hard to choose the right one.
I think most of our dps will think we are crackers 😂

Looks like I’m getting there, slowly but surely. I’ve now noticed all the things in the run up to ovulation and it’s been good to watch it through OPKs. I even predicted which side my eggs will be released from 😂 it’s crazy how much I have learnt

@OP definitely getting stronger! What score counts as a positive?

@Carastarchild I think I might give reflexology a try if this cycle doesn't work out. I'm glad it makes you all relaxed!

@Carley321 I would really recommend yoga! Fortunately my gym membership includes lots of yoga classes so I can try different styles and pick and choose when I go. I'm not very good as my flexibility is rubbish, but the class teacher will often start with the easier positions so it's fine. Do you have a friend you could go with?

@Skyla01 I’m not sure but I think it has to be a 1.something.
Good point about the gym I never thought about doing yoga there and I’m sure my membership includes it as a class. I’ll have a look!

How are you feeling?

Quick question to my go to ladies! TMI WARNING!
So as you can all see my OPKs are not even showing no where near positive but are progressing, today I’ve had loads of clear stretchy Cm it feels like I’ve wet myself type feeling 🤦🏻‍♀️ Question is, do you think I’m in my fertile window? Or is it just gearing up? Could the OPKs have missed the surge? I know I asked similar yesterday but it really is a lot today and I’m just wondering do I do the 3 days dtd from tonight or wait for the OPKs to say positive?
Questions bloody questions!

Ladies, I'm back.... Looks like my reflexologist was wrong, I got a bfp at 11dpo (yesterday evening) 💕 thrilled and scared all at the same time. Re-testing on Sunday and praying for a stronger line 🙏 🌈

@AllHopeAndNoResults I think you're in your fertile week, yay 😊

@Skyla01 @tinyole @Carley321 @Makingawish and anyone else I've missed, hope you're all getting on well and hoping for more smep bfps 🤞 xx

@VenusStarr congratulations!! Oh I’m so pleased for you! Well done! Let’s hope to see that darker line soon! ❤️

@VenusStarr oh my goodness, congratulations!!!!

@AllHopeAndNoResults I usually get the discharge like a day before my ovulation so I think now is as good a time as any just in case the OPK's have missed it even by an hour or so!

@Makingawish so shall I do the 3 days from today?

Fantastic news isn’t it? Also proves SMEP does work. Our first BFP of the thread! 🤗🤗

@AllHopeAndNoResults I would plan to if I was you especially if you missed yesterday but continue doing your OPK's just in case

Let's hope @VenusStarr has give us all good luck!!! 🤞🤞🤞

@Makingawish ok thanks will do!

Yep 🤞

@VenusStarr I can't believe the reflexologist said that to you 😩 the lady I go to would never say that in a million years. Congratulations 🎉 💜 🎉Can you share your chart so far 😊
