Morning ladies, hope you're all ok and staying safe x

For those of you with kids, my sons nursery released this today re the 'key worker' system, link to Gov website. If you work in the job areas they have listed, your child can still attend school/nursery during this shitty time x

Sorry just catching up after a crazy week. Congrats @Snowwhite2020 definitely see a line fingers crossed for you. @Missgoldilocks good news you got your sperm results and everything is all good and now you can move on to the next stage. I just had my blood results and my thyroid is under active so starting medication to hopefully bring levels up and hopefully we then conceive. At least I feel there is something wrong. I am one week into the TWW and you never know could still conceive. Not testing until missed period though as my new rule. X

Snowwhite2020 · 20/03/2020 13:24

Thanks for all your best wishes girls. Line a tiny bit darker this morning but still faint so fingers crossed xx

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 13:51

@missgoldilocks I used to get floods of the stuff for about 4-5 days. Now I only get about a day or 2 of it and it's not a lot. I don't think evening primrose oil makes any difference if I'm honest as I got more when I took nothing at all.

7DPO for me today. Don't know why I'm bothering to track anything. I'm more interested in my temp than anything. Temp finally staring to rise so that deffo confirms I missed ovulation 🤨

@Danni2019 yeah don't test no point!! Yeah they are fine but what is having me um and ah is the fact that his viability is low, but she didn't seem worried about it. But that means that there's a percentage of dead sperm if there is low viability so I do think it will take us a while to.l concieve anyhow just on that fact. Obviously it's good that he has a good sperm count etc though so at least we can get pregnant. I've asked on two other forums if anyone else got that result and how long it took them to get pregnant x

@Beau20 damn that's annoying, glad you've gone docs though and they are looking into it! That's all you can do. I'd say so SMEP if you can or just have sex 3 times a week to try and cover bases x

Mumofboys17 · 20/03/2020 14:11

@Beau20 I know naff all about temping but I don't think there's anything wrong with temp tracking anyway! At least it might get you used to some sort of pattern so when you do conceive you'll recognise the difference? X

@Missgoldilocks definitely sounds like timings will be key for you. I've always wondered if my DH has low sperm count. We've obviously managed to conceive before but I think we really have to get that window bang on which is why it takes us so long 🤔 xx

Ladies, question to those of you that poke.. 😂 I'm either 4/5dpo today, getting bored of waiting so had a feel around just now..
I've no idea where my cervix actually is or what it's meant to feel like (I've convinced myself it's just the massive lump I can feel inside that's been there since DS ripped my insides out 😬😂) and it's all very spongey and slippery up there. Not too much appearing in my underwear but cm was white and stringy all over my finger when I looked.. is this a good sign? Just normal?

Figured it had been a while since we went a little inappropriate on the thread so, let's go there!! 🙃😂😂😂

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 20/03/2020 14:24

@Mumofboys17 😂😂😂😂 Well, everyone is different so what's normal for you might not be for me say. At 4 dpo my cervix has lowered again and is bedoum firmness and I do get a bit of the white stringey cm at that point when having a diddle (stringey makes me feel sick haha) but it might be different for you!
Yeah, I dunno🤔 she said in the beginning "I don't want him to worry" but finished with "low viability isn't too bad it may just mean some died during the process of looking at etc" but that is so variable lol I wanted a clear cut answer. From looking online it looks like it does matter because loads die anyway going into the vagina (why does the vagina kill them. Sooo counter productive) so it wouldn't leave much to get to the egg!! We haven't dtd, I've had flashing smileys the past 2 days so I will probably ovulate tomorrow. I'll just dtd tonight and tomorrow xx

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 14:40

@mumofboys17 oh don't even ask me what a cervix is supposed to feel like because mine is always the opposite to what it's meant to be!! I stopped fingering myself now because I was mostly doing it in work (which I found to be reallllyyy weird) and I was cramping after I did it 😂 that on top of my cervix being fucked it I guess there is no point.

A sonographer and a smear lady have both made comments on my cervix before (can't remember what it was) so god knows 😂

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 14:41

I think the comment was that I had a really small cervix... both times 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing when thinking about having babies

LV1987 · 20/03/2020 14:56

Hi everyone!

Day 3 working from home... Despite all the dog walking this week, my average step count has seen a massive decrease, and I'm pretty sure I've eaten all the chocolate in the house 🤦‍♀️ watching old episodes of One Born in the background is keeping me sane in some ways, but increasing the crazy in other ways 😂

@Mumofboys17 no idea with cervixes, somedays I'm not even sure I have one - and at my last smear test, mine was described as "shy" which kinda made me think of it as a hermit crab 😂

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 15:20

@LV1987 OMG SHY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am crying hahahahaha.

Well totally embarrassed girls. Our next door neighbour has just told us in a kind of telling off way that she can hear every single thing we say including all the arguments and crying 😐😐😐😐😐 our walls are paper thin clearly. I feel so embarrassed/paranoid now. Like I think I actually need to move house...

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 15:21

Should I move house....??? I don't get over these kind of things. Ever. Like I will worry about this for the rest of my life.

Mumofboys17 · 20/03/2020 15:56

@Beau20 oh how rude!! I'd have asked if she'd like to come round and sit on the sofa for a front row seat next time!! 😒🖕🏻
Tell her to invest in a white noise machine 😂
In all seriousness try not to worry about it, we are but human! And humans are noisy creatures 😉😂 xx

@LV1987 well I've never heard a cervix being called shy before 😂😂😂 always a first!! X

Just been to the loo and loads of stringy creamy cm when wiping... please don't tell me I'm ovulating again 😂😫 surely not.. can't bloody cope!!

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 20/03/2020 17:15

@Mumofboys17 could be a secondary estrogen surge!

@Beau20 yah rude much! I'm pretty sure neighbours hear it all especially the sex. Not my fault they ain't getting good wood 😂🤔🤔@LV1987
Also I've been told I have the cervix of a teenager 😂 which shocked them since I had a child but my cervix doesn't like to dilate it's tightly sealed! Maybe that's why the fucking sperm isn't getting in!!!!

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 17:19

@Mumofboys17 honestly we were stood there devastated. My OHs response was yeah she is over dramatic I know (talking about me) 😂😂😂 he's not wrong. Yeah deffo could be a secondary estrogen surge x

@Missgoldilocks hahahaha I walked back in and said to OH well if she can hear me crying she deffo hears us shagging all the time 😂😂😂😂😂 we've lived here 18 months. Heard them once.

My friend told me not to worry and that she shouldn't be listening and if we are loud to turn the tv up or something. I'm still so embarrassed.

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 17:19

@Mumofboys17 you could do an OPK just to be sure? 🤷🏼‍♀️

LV1987 · 20/03/2020 17:20

@missgoldilocks good wood!!! I'm dying!!!

At another smear test, I managed to accidentally "eject" the speculum when the nurse made me laugh. She jumped out of her skin it was hilarious 😂😂

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 17:21

@Missgoldilocks oh my godddd I never thought about this! Okay, how to we relax our cervixes during ovulation? And surely if you had the cervix of a teenager it would be a gaping hole as we all know how easy it is to get pregnant as a teenager! Well, I do 😂

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 17:22

@LV1987 hahahahaha you have me in stitches today 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's like when you accidentally sneeze with OH inside you. OH there he goes OUT

Mumofboys17 · 20/03/2020 17:27

@Beau20 hahahahaha yep I've done the sneeze!! 😂😂😂 @LV1987 i shit a speculum out across the room too at my first smear!! 🙈
I'm going to do an OPK when I get home from work haha I'm all para now!!

OP posts:
Mumofboys17 · 20/03/2020 17:27

😨 SHOT!! I SHOT a speculum out!! Deffo didn't shit 😳🤭 Jesus 😂

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 20/03/2020 17:36

@Mumofboys17 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was thinking what kind of smear was you getting love!!

@lv1987 Hahahahaa, I've done the shooting out a speculum the nurse laughed for ages I was well proud 😂

@Beau20 truuuue hahaha, apparently orgasm makes your cervix dilate! So my friend says. Tonight I will be making myself orgasm once has has finished and see if its true! 😂 Wish me luck.

LV1987 · 20/03/2020 17:51

@Mumofboys17 OMG 😂😂😂😂

@Beau20 I get like this when I've been cooped up for a while 😂 think I'm doing OH's head in!!

Beau20 · 20/03/2020 18:02

Oh my dayssssss we've all gone coronavirus mad!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
