@Beau20 I’ve read somewhere that EWCM appears usually 2-3 days before ovulation x so keep DTD girl x does your cervix always hurt during ovulation no matter what position you DTD in? x

Beau20 · 06/04/2020 09:43

@Katie1109 I usually get it for 2-3 days max. Since TTC this time yeah for some reason it's agony around the time of ovulation. I can't ever remember it hurting last time although I wasn't paying attention to anything. I don't even know if no pain is good or bad because technically, your cervix is meant to be high during ovulation

Convinced the four year old to wear his dungarees today... Winning!

Fredthespider · 06/04/2020 17:19

Sorry AF arrived @LV1987, but yay for dungarees! Love a little one in dungarees :)

Missgoldilocks · 06/04/2020 18:20

@lv1987 sorry af came! ❤️

@Fredthespider how are you??

@Beau20 did you talk to the doc about the pain during ovulation?

Fredthespider · 06/04/2020 19:37

@Missgoldilocks I'm good thank you! I was able to go in for an early scan today, perk of a previous ectopic, and they found a heartbeat and it's in the right place. They've dated me around 5-6 weeks which is less than I'm sure I am, but I'm not too bothered as they found a heartbeat and she said they could be 5 days out. We'll see what they say at the 12 week scan :)

Missgoldilocks · 06/04/2020 20:25

@Fredthespider ohhh that's great news!!! Yayyyy ❤️❤️❤️ 😁 thank you for sharing that's lovely to hear xx

Beau20 · 06/04/2020 21:02

@Fredthespider ohhh amazing news lovely!!!!

Ffs this pre-seed applicator just had my life! So I just injected level 1 of lube (fine that was planned) and then accidentally topped up to level 4 of air. You can only imagine how that turned out! 🤦🏼‍♀️

LV1987 · 06/04/2020 21:06

That's wonderful news @Fredthespider, I'm so pleased ❤️

Missgoldilocks · 06/04/2020 21:07

@Beau20 🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop it! I can't wait till fertile week we haven't had sex since the last one and I'm gonna really try to hold out till fw so it's better!!

LV1987 · 06/04/2020 21:07

@Beau20 I'm dying 😂😂😂

Beau20 · 06/04/2020 21:24

@Missgoldilocks haha we had done it ONCE in non-FW

This is our lives now.

Beau20 · 06/04/2020 21:26

@Missgoldilocks I actually feel like it's worse the longer you leave it. I just feel really awkward like yeah we haven't had sex in ages who's gonna start this do we even still fancy each other what's going on? 😂

Missgoldilocks · 06/04/2020 23:39

@Beau20 🤣🤣🤣 opposite for us it's like all the pent up energy gets released hehe

Danni2019 · 07/04/2020 08:12

Congratulations @fredthespider such lovely news.

Does anyone else feel the pressure to try and DTD as much as they can in their fertile week. I think I should put less pressure on myself. After getting a positive OPK on Sunday morning managed to DTD Sunday night but tried last night and he wasn't in the mood too tired unfortunately. Hopefully we can DTD tonight too. Would have been happier if we managed last night as I feel we would have covered all days but never mind hopefully it will all be enough but felt bad for even trying last night as I knew he would be knackered after work but felt like I had to try.

Katie1109 · 07/04/2020 08:30

@Fredthespider fantastic news 🥰
@Missgoldilocks and @Beau20 I believe it is advised to DTD at least once before FW so the little swimmers are not 10 or more days old x but most advise I read was DTD every 2-3 days until peak on OPK x and @Beau20 I’m still to use my lube so that will be fun lol 😂

Missgoldilocks · 07/04/2020 09:19

@Danni2019 so much pressure to dtd I want to get a self insemination kit soon if I don't fall because this is ridiculous

@katie1109 thanks chick, I was thinking about that already I will make sure he releases about 4 days prior 🤣 xx

Beau20 · 07/04/2020 09:31

@Katie1109 @Missgoldilocks don't even ask me how I found this article but it's actually really interesting!! No more abstinence for us!

'Don't cook your balls.com' hahahahaha ha I am dead 😂

LV1987 · 07/04/2020 09:40

Morning all, I'm off work this week so we are hoping to put the finishing touches on the Gin Corner, yay!

My period so far has been ridiculously light - tmi but I literally had red blood once when I wiped yesterday, and only teeny amount is brown since. There's that little of it I could get away without using a pad. Last month was light too but not this light. Now I'm worried that I'm not building up enough in there to support a pregancny 🙄 any thoughts? Why can't this be simple arghhh

Missgoldilocks · 07/04/2020 10:42

@LV1987 I'm kinda the same except mine was a good flow but only for 1 day then the second day just spotting and that's it! I don't really know why or how to help it.

@Beau20 hahahaha

LV1987 · 07/04/2020 11:00

@missgoldilocks do you still get positive OPKs? I'm wondering if maybe I'm as light as this as I'm not ovulating... Being locked in the house is as good a time as any to check that out I guess 😂 any brand recommendations? I'm on amazon and my wages are burning a hole in a pocket!!

LV1987 · 07/04/2020 11:00

In my pocket I mean, not just any old pocket 🤦‍♀️

Missgoldilocks · 07/04/2020 11:12

@lv1987 haha! You're lucky 😅 right now this has completely destroyed me money wise ffs. I use clear blue so the expensive ones, I do still ovulate as I've seen a good old ripe egg ready on a scan 5 months back and I had bloods done. Its not every month that I get 2 day periods but I'll keep an eye for next month to see if it's the same issue, i'm normally a 3 day girl.
Was you on contraception beforehand?? What was you on for how long and how long have you been off it? When you was on contraception did you have no periods or heavier??

Langpants · 07/04/2020 11:21

@beau20 we have so much stuff, it's ridiculous. x

Langpants · 07/04/2020 11:25

Officially in the 2WW now. Again. After two failed rounds of IVF, I conceived with my little boy naturally. (Not because I was struggling but because I thought it was sure to get me pregnant quickly so I could go back on my cancer drugs)

Now I'm frustrated with my body because it's taking months to conceive.

How long has everyone been trying for? I know I'm being impatient and there are ladies on here that have been trying a lot longer. And I feel lucky to have my little boy. Just worried that the longer I am not on my drugs, the higher the risk for my breast cancer to come back. x
