Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

[Ginge35]

Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

😂😂😂@FarmerWantsABaby I think you did !! To be fair I probably better not try and find my cervix right now cos that could be messy 🤣@Wintergal I'm laughing at you giving them time to do their swimming because right now I'm lying in bed listening to Alexa playing the sound of waves....do you think it will help them along 😆

I actually googled if it was ok to wee or not after for fear of a uti and it's said it's doesn't really make a difference

www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-tract-infections-utis/

Scroll down to where it talks about preventing UTIs. There's a fair body of research to say that peeing after sex helps avoid a UTI. Obviously, entirely up to you, but it's not a risk I'd take personally.

Good luck to the swimmers either way!

@newmum2020 the sound of the waves may encourage them along lol

@BecauseReasons I worded mine wrong I mean I googled it worrying that peeing would have a negative impact but it doesn't. So I waited 10/15 mins the bad my wee.

I did hear that the woman orgasming after helps the little swimmers along a bit though, so make of that what you will.

@BecauseReasons I thought it was before?
Just keep having sex! Something will happen eventually! 😝😝🤞🤞🤞

I think it could work before but depends how long before- the orgasm causes everything to contract which apparently gives anything in there a little boost. 🤷 Not that I conducted excess googling last time around or anything...

*Just keep having sex! Something will happen eventually!

That's pretty much been my conclusion too.

Morning ladies. I'm a little Sad as I was supposed to ovulate yesterday and I
Didn't get my solid smiley face on my CB OPK, just tested again and still no solid smiley face? It's still flashing?
According to my calendar I should have ovulated yesterday (AF always regular) and last month it was bang on.
Anyone else had this? I'm feeling a little down now and also worried that I won't ovulate this month
Any reassurance greatly welcomed as hubby said no more DTD until I get a solid smiley! (I think I've worn him out!) he said he's got "nothing" left! 😬
Help me!!!

Morning ladies how we all doing x

In regards to the orgasm it's best to do it before your OH "deposits" as it makes our environment more alkaline which sperm thrive in, too acidic and sperm die also the uterus is always contracting anyway to help the sperm (there's a good video on YouTube that shows you step by step what happens between depositing and the sperm reaching the egg).

Asf I'm somewhere between 4-6 dpo and I feel sick as a dog, headaches, nips are sore and I'm pretty sure after all this symptom spotting af will rear her ugly face but hey ho maybe I'll learn not to next cycle 😁

Hi All!

I'm TTC on cycle number 4 - was hopeful before Christmas but AF came on the 20th Dec.

Supposedly I should have ovulated on Saturday (I had two positive LH strip tests and then a negative) but my BBT did not spike it has gone up gradually and today exceeded base for the first time - where as last month (first month temping) it spiked the next day - anyone else had this?

Good luck everyone x

@Ginge35 I can't offer any advice as I'm not testing I'm trusting fitbit 😬but I can understand your disappointment 😢hope you get your static smiley soon x

Haha I have enjoyed the vision of all the gymnastics afterwards... I also had the 'should I pee or not' dilemma and also went for a ten mins legs up then a wee !

Apparently lots of sex all the time not just during fertile week is also good because then your body gets used to the sperm/ejaculate and doesn't try and fight it out or something. I read that a couple of years ago and it may have just been written by someone encouraging more sex who knows!

Awww @ginge35 maybe you've missed it and sounds like you've DTD enough to have yourself covered. I'm not using opks so can't help really, just cycle tracking and feeling my cervix! Haha but I guess there's no way to know if I've ovulated that way.

@Geauxtigers I don't think I have missed it 🤔 I had a low symbol on Saturday and then high fertility Sunday, yesterday and today but no peak? I was supposed to ovulate yesterday. I'll be really sad and quite worried if I haven't ovulated this month. Is that normal, not to ovulate? Slightly freaking out a little bit to be honest!
I'm going to do another OPK when I get home from work and see what it says.
I usually get bad cramps just before I ovulate but I haven't so far, which makes me think my body has just packed up this month! 😭😭😭😭

@ginge35 the surge can be quite short, 12 hours, so it's possible it was in between yesterday and today's, or it could be about to happen! sounds like you've made lots of opportunity so try to stay positive x

Thank you @EffRam I'm going home from work shortly so I'll be diving on DH again anyway! If he's knackered he can just lie there! I'm quite happy to do all the work! Haha!!!
Fingers crossed for me this month eh!
How is everyone else getting on? Any symptoms that are looking positive for any PO?

Haha @Ginge35 sounds just like me! Literally counting down the minutes until I can go home to do the same!

@Ginge35 glad to hear you’re covering all angles 😂 I’ve had some cramping but I’m not sure what that means as I have no idea if or when I ovulated yet and my cycle is very irregular at the minute. AF not due for another 2 weeks but I wouldn’t be surprised if she came tomorrow. I’m also absolutely shattered.

I just text hubby to say leaving work
And his reply? "Are we babydancing before or after dinner?" 🤣🤣think he's finally cracked like me 😂

Haha @newmum2020 @FarmerWantsABaby & @MrsD1990
I got home and DH was already in the bedroom waiting for me! How funny! 😝😝😝
Just did another CB Digital OPK and got another flashing smiley face! Going to do another in the morning but if I haven't ovulated I'll be devastated as we have definitely put more effort in this month than we did last! 🤞🤞

Bit of a setback for me tonight girls....we were DTD and afterwards there was quite a lot of blood so now I'm really confused as to whether my period at Xmas (first after mc) was an actual period, have I even ovulated, I have no idea! Feel it has totally burst my bubble and already think that's me out this month as something clearly not right. I could cry 😢 Im trying to tell myself it's just that we've DTD a lot the last few days but I'm worried 😫xx

Awwwwww @newmum2020 that's rubbish! It sounds like AF has reared its head!
What a shame as it sounded like you were on to a winner this month!
I know you rely on your fit bit but maybe try a fertility calendar and OPK's? Just to help you gauge what's going on maybe for the next months?
Hopefully you won't need them but just to help? ❤️❤️

@Ginge35 I'll see what happens over next day or two. Still a bit of bloody mucus when I wipe. I'm totally disheartened now as thought my body had gone back to normal, period was textbook at Xmas. Can't believe this happened on ovulation day!! I've read article that say sex during ovulation can cause bleeding as cervix preparing for pregnancy but I don't think I'm that lucky

This is what I've just read, I can only hope!! It's bright pink mixed with mucus

Fingers crossed @newmum2020 baby dust to you!
I'm still waiting for my solid smiley face to pop up on my CB Digital OPK's! 4 flashing smileys on my OPK's in the last 3 days (tested twice today)!
I just don't know if the solid smiley is going to show this month! I want this month to "the month"! I'm already exhausted from trying and it's only been two months! 😩😩😩
