And a few others who I can't remember their username from memory so please tag yourself :D

So that's me officially out.. AF seems to have started today on due date :(

Thanks @orangeloo - he's decided just to join me in a health kick anyway - it's more than likely going to be a few months until we can get any kind of tests done so we have plenty time to not stress too much about it ! I will enjoy a gin in the garden tonight :-)

AF arrived today for us, so onto cycle 13 we go, I am ok about it. it's my birthday soon so I can have a few drinks to celebrate

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine the weekend ! Looks to be lovely where we are :-) xx

So we are facing a weird issue, normally the sex is always great for us but whenever we DTD in fertility window something has to go wrong, either he won't be able to ejaculate due to breathlessness or it gets loose or I am just dry, now we are soo worried..it's stress or something else I don't know..we try to not think about the baby and enjoy it but you can't just control your emotions so easily right? Anyone facing the same issue? Should I go for fertility friendly lubricant like preseed or what else

@Mamainmaking what they teach you in school is bull, it's so much harder to get pregnant than you think! We are on cycle 16!! When we first started TTC my DP had performance issues but we are past it now, I know it's hard but you just both need to relax 🙂

@Hopefulmummie sorry about AF

Thanks @whatsthecraic91 for your kind words..I think we will also just keep on trying and stop getting worried so much with time..it's kinda calming me talking about this weird situation with you lovely ladies

Morning :) 10dpo today and resisting the testing urge 🙌 boobs are quite full and sore and had some cramping yesterday but sometimes that happens in tww

@whatsthecraic91 that's good that your temp is on the way up now :D when will you test?

@kiza hopefully ovulation is sooner for you this month 🤞🤞 its horrible when it's delayed and you are just waiting!

@hopefulmummie I take the seven seas pre conception ones. They are mini pills and contain the key folic acid and a few others :)

@Mamainmaking have you tried not telling him when your fertile window is? And Deffo pressed is good for a bit of extra lubrication :)

@orangeloo totally! Every symptom or twinge is exhausting haha

@XjustagirlX how are you getting on?

@Annny27 morning! Currently in the que for Sainsbury's it's crazy 😂😂 I'm 10DPO too today and my temp is up again 😳 trying not to overthink or get excited! Bit crampy this morning but other than that I feel normal! When are you thinking of testing?

@Mamainmaking it's great to have these forums to get advice and chat anonymously, especially if you haven't told anyone in real life about your plans!

@Anny27 that's a good idea, next cycle I'll definitely do this..
@whatsthecraic91that is so true

@Hopefulmummie we take a ton of supps but that's because we are both older (39 & 36) and have been trying for 20 months. A general pre ovulation supps is good such as pregnacare (get them 3 for 2 @boots) or there's other good ones.

@Mamainmaking we also struggled with the pressure in the first 6 months and then switched to me not telling him my fertile window and I would initiate DTD. We also tried to make it really fun with a position of the day book and just have a real giggle about it. It's made our sex life in general far better for it, I have preseed and will use it if I know I'm not producing my ewcm that particular day.

@Annny27 funny how when you decide to not properly track we still can't help ourselves 😆 we've become so fine tuned into our bodies during this process

@whatsthecraic91 fingers crossed the temp stays up for you.

Morning ladies 11DPO and I woke up at 7am and felt so sick and had to go back to sleep again! I feel fine now! My temp is the same as yesterday's and I don't feel like AF is coming, I've usually started spotting my now and no sign! Trying not to get my hopes up! AF due Tuesday so I will try and hold off to Wednesday 🤞🏼

Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous weather, we had a bbq yesterday and sat out the back all day 😎

Fingers crossed @whatsthecraic91 :) 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 when will you test?

@kiza yep I can't believe I went years of not noticing cm when we weren't ttc and now I don't think I will ever not know my body and where I am in my cycle again haha

@Annny27 I'm thinking Wednesday, AF due Tuesday. My temps are the highest they have ever been since I started temping and I was getting excited and told DP and he was like well the weather is warm so of course you're going to be warmer!! Is he right?! The prick has burst my bubble 🤣🤣🤣

My temps weren't significantly higher in June July August but when I got my bfp in September it was! So don't think the weather has a significant difference as your house will roughly be the same temperature? Don't let him burst your bubble just yet 🤣🤣 @whatsthecraic91

@Anny27 well now I am officially freaking out!! My fem has detected a triphasic pattern 😆 i woke up this morning sweating but other than that I feel normal, no sore boobs, no cramps & no spotting which I should have by now!! 12DPO 😥

@Annny27 how's you? Any symptoms? We are the same DPO aren't we?

I got my bfp at 12dpo and the thing that made me test was waking up sweating!!!! Test :D

Yep I am 12dpo and had some brown spotting so thats me out probably for this month!

@whatsthecraic91 i meant last time I got my bfp at 12dpo haha**

@Annny27 I'm actually shitting myself tbh 🤣 I don't know if I should wait to Wednesday AF is due tomorrow. Aww well you weren't really trying this month anyway sure yas weren't? Still disappointing isn't it! Are you going back to properly trying next cycle?

@whatsthecraic91 omg exciting! This is sounding good for you. FX

@whatsthecraic91 oh I'm excited for you! It's about time one of us old timers had a BFP as we've all been on this thread for so long 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi ladies how are we all? Sorry for the silence but it has been super sunny and for Scotland this is not normal so I have been making the most of the weather! Hello to the new ladies that I may have missed. AF has just finished for me- thank god, my periods have been really weird since the last miscarriage.

@XjustagirlX I am so so sorry to hear its ectopic 😔I dont have any experience of ectopic but having experience 2 missed miscarriages one where i took the medication and one where I waited for my body to naturally miscarry I would probably pick the medication again, it can be really emotionally draining constantly going back and forward to the hospital waiting for things to happen naturally. I hope you are doing as well as you can be and are being kind to yourself right now.

@whatsthecraic91 oh I am feeling very positive for you, I would test tomorrow, I have found out at 12 DPO before so a FRER should give an accurate result 😃

Hows everyone else doing? Anyone wanting to kill their DH during lockdown? 😂

@orangeloo @Kiza @Lozzlepop

Oh ladies you are putting me under pressure now 😅 I'll see DP tonight and we can decide when to test as I told him I wouldn't do it without him again. He will have the sensible head on and will probably try and talk me into waiting 😆

@Lozzlepop loving the weather too it's absolutely fab ☀️ think it's to break on Wednesday tho 👎🏼👎🏼

so I caves at tested 12dpo - BFN. Waiting for AF too arrive. Was expected but still sucks :(

@whatsthecraic91 omg yes please test soon. Like @kiza said we need a bfp from one of the oldies on the thread!!!!!

@orangeloo are you close to testing?

@Lozzlepop weather has been gorgeous hasn't it! Been blessed with lovely weather

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 haha if you want to wait that is very sensible and strong!

@Lozzlepop I definitely go through phases with wanting to strangle yes. In the beginning I told him to go in lockdown at his parents because he was annoying me so much haha

@Annny27 sorry about the bfn. Definitely still sucks even when it's expected.
I'm 9DPO and spotting as per, so I don't hold out much hope. I will try and wait until AF due but I prob won't haha.

@orangeloo thanks lovely! One thing that keeps my spirit up is another lady who I was on another thread with who had been try for almost 2 years, she has spotting and the month that she got her bfp recently she still had the same days of spotting so it isn't always an absolute "I am out" thing for you🤞🤞🤞
