Thanks girls for the vitamins info 

@Robs20 I LOVE the name Eliza, and she sounds like a gorgeous little girl. I love that she was so sassy Smile

Luxoire · 08/08/2019 18:31

My daughter is Elizabeth...sassy as they come..must be the name!

@Robs20 I dont know about jot tubs but they dont aound like a great habitat for speedy spermies! Avoid them if poss...or doing anything in them and so save the sperm for dry land where the only wet thing they will enounter is youe warm inaide in search of an egg !

I'm not sure about hot tubs either, probably excessive heat or extreme cold isn't great for swimmers but I'm sure 30 mins wouldn't hurt! You have to enjoy life too  @Robs20

wannabemum38 · 08/08/2019 21:55

I think hot tubs are a no no when pregnant but I'm sure a quick dip when TTC is ok. As @HappyGirl86 said got to enjoy life!

Luxoire · 09/08/2019 11:01

I kinda said to my DH last night we need to get on the conception vitamins - he looked at me from the corner of his eye and went 'you're proper going for it aren't you'' hahahahah he sounded almost surprised - lol....

I mean the man has known me for over 10yrs since when has he known me to not commit 200% to whatever I set my mind on?!!! Confused

HappyGirl86 · 09/08/2019 15:39

Haha @Luxoire I think women can be the most determined sex when it's something we really want.
I feel really determined about it now I've set my mind on it. I just feel scared to get excited in case getting pregnant isn't as easy as last time

Luxoire · 09/08/2019 15:49

Aww babe @HappyGirl86 each pregancy is different..each baby is different. I hope this time really os differemt for you and you habe such a positive happy personality I am sure ypu have tons of love to give any new baby

thanks @Luxoire I was so lucky to get pregnant sooooooo quickly last time.
I wish it would happen this time!

This time hopefully the birth will be much calmer and less stressful.

MrsSkr · 10/08/2019 11:46

Hi ladies, iv had a busy few days so playing catch up. Hope you are all well?

@Robs20 I'm not 100% sure in hot tubs but I think just use caution with extremes in temp, I'd say go for it and enjoy yourselves but maybe just for short periods at a time. Otherwise tbh I'm not sure what to do for preparation. Last time I had all these old wives tales I followed but not sure any of them were beneficial...I ate lots of pineapple when ttc (but stop when you get your bfp), warm feet in the tww was another 😂😂.

@Luxoire same here, I'm getting really excited and I think dh is realising I'm serious lol he sent me a funny gif on WhatsApp saying "you're keen" lol. Yes I am!! Xx

MrsSkr · 10/08/2019 12:38

Well girls, Monday brings calendar Day 8 so will start DTD every other day until I get a positive ovulation test.
Feels like this week has gone so slowly haha

Blossomingflower94 · 10/08/2019 21:04

Good luck to everyone ... hope to follow you all on this exciting journey!

@happygirl86 ... which OPK's do you use? Smile

Hope Monday comes around quick for you!

lornz · 10/08/2019 21:08

We tried for a summer '19 baby and it wasn't meant to be. We are back on board ready to try for a summer '20 baby 👶🏼

AF started today so we're CD1 and itching to get on it 😂🙈

Blossomingflower94 · 10/08/2019 21:16

@lornz 'itching to get on it' made me chuckle ... but that's exactly how i feel! Im on CD2 today and counting down the days.

HappyGirl86 · 10/08/2019 21:16

Hi @Blossomingflower94 I'm just using the cheap ones you can buy off amazon.
When I had my daughter I didn't do any of these things but I figured I'd give them a go this time. Smile

HappyGirl86 · 10/08/2019 21:17

Good luck @lornz and @Blossomingflower94 I hope it's a lucky month for you both!

I know how you feel as this week has gone so slowly haha!

Blossomingflower94 · 10/08/2019 21:23

@happygirl86 ... Thank you! I'll have a look on amazon. Can't hurt I suppose!

I'm also going to start taking Holland and Barrett own brand folic acid and Vit D tomorrow. I asked a Dr friend about what to take and they said the Pregnacare just gives you 'expensive wee' Smile

Zm2019 · 10/08/2019 21:46

Hi,
TTC #2 can start trying in 2 weeks.
Had a DD in 2013, got married in 2017 came off the jab to get my body back to normal, took me a good 1.5 years. Af has now been normal the last 6 months, been waiting for our honeymoon to get her so we can ttc. It's been a long wait and I'm super excited. We conceived on our first night together so would be good if it happens so quick again. Wish you all luck 😀

Crazymummyto3 · 11/08/2019 00:08

I've just come of Zelleta on Monday (5th August) ready to ttc baby number 4 (we do definitely plan on this being our last one, although we did say that after number 2!!). I haven't had a withdrawal bleed. Here is my story:

DS number 1 - conceived 1st month of trying, forceps delivery at 40+1
DD number 2 - conceived 2nd month of trying, natural birth at 39+6,
DD number 3 - conceived 1st month of trying, natural home birth at 39+5

lornz · 11/08/2019 07:47

🙈😂 ha

@Blossomingflower94 we seem to be pretty matched on CDs - how long is your cycle - have you been tracking ovulation already.

We're trying from SMEP this cycle (and any others we don't convince on) to up our chances as well as tracking ovulation.

lornz · 11/08/2019 07:49

Thanks.

@HappyGirl86 what CD are you on.

HappyGirl86 · 11/08/2019 08:24

Hi @Zm2019 and @Crazymummyto3 nice to have you both here. Good luck with your journeys!

I'm on calendar Day 8 today!! Just realised!
Here's where it starts then SmileSmileSmile

Blossomingflower94 · 11/08/2019 11:51

@lornz Im currently on day 3 - should be my last day of AF. My cycles are usually 28 days on the dot. I use Flo and Clue apps to track my cycle and have done since coming off cerazette 8 months ago but both the apps show different ovulation dates Confused.

I have just bitten the bullet and have brought some OPK's and we will do SMEP too.

I hope this is the cycle for you!!
