Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

@vintagemoo @SmileyT - thanks for the info girls. Maybe I'll try and hold off in the 2ww. Does anyone know if that then carries on to first trimester? Think DH and I would go mad!

@myhappystreak - bless you 💕 sending big virtual positive vibes your way! Hormones are such a fucker. Pop on a comedy and have yourself a belly laugh. The newest Jumanji is pretty good! Or how about some fertility yoga, meditation or affirmations? We are here for you ❤️

@vintagemoo - I've just made a lentil bolognese in the slow cooker with a crap load of wine in it 🍷🍷🍷

@Minster2012 - jumped him 🍆🍑 I think by the end of this week we might be ready for a break 😂😂😂

Uhhhhh I'm so not ready for the work week to start again! 😩😴

@MrsEmilyB I've read on forums that some people don't have sex in the first trimester because they are worried but unless Drs recommend against it for underlying medical issues I think it's fine. The NHS recommend having sex every 2-3 days throughout cycle anyway, don't think they would say that if it hurts implantation, but can't hurt not to have any aggravation up there 🤣

@popcorndiva I am quite neutral at the moment but then I am only 1.5 dpo 🤣 I think knowing that it’s only .5 of a day also points out my anxiety 😅
@Adrianoska so cute that your dh cried!
@vintagemoo I agree about it making the TWW longer, I also spent time in the garden today and just relaxed in the sunshine! I can’t help you with the CM have you googled it?
@MrsEmilyB I am wondering about this too, I’m not sure, I feel like a break for a few days will be good and then I will reconsider, I mean it’s a long enough two weeks as it is! As far as I remember it is safe to dtd in the first trimester! I did anyway 🤭

If it’s any consolation I’ve had 5 pregnancies , 2 live and 3 mc’s in total. I’ve had all scenarios of bed rest, internal scans, probiotics from sex, and unless you’re into getting fisted I think you’re safe enough to have sex personally. I have refrained and it’s done me no good. With the 2 kids I had with one I was really sick and hardly had sex and she’s here, with the other I was at it like a rabbit and she’s here too .

I am so confused- really thought I’d have a bit of a peak this eve. Xxx

Thank you so much!! Still in shock. I’m sure it will turn into worry soon. Got my fingers crossed for everyone getting the BFPs.

Should I call the docs on tomorrow. I’ve just read that the services may be stretched and essential only.

@NicNac85 I'd give them a call and see when they can slot you in - at least then they can tell you in person to call back in "x" weeks if they're really stretched. I'd imagine it's GP practice to GP practice as to whether they're too busy or not.

Question for all on the OPKs- why are you doing doing more than one throughout the day? I always assumed one at the same time every day for consistency for comparing?

Hi! This is my first post on any of these chats 😊 we have been TTC for 5 cycles ( stopped the pill start of December 2019) and I am now 2dpo on cycle 6. Hoping for good news this month, thought things would happen much faster than this 😓

I think you should call your gp and let them know.. they will then give advise you on what to do next

@becky239 I'm 3DPO on cycle 9 I too was under the illusion things would happen much quicker 🙄 everyone always makes it sound so easy. I'm 33 and OH is 32 it will be our first I'm so ready to be super excited when it happens 🌈

@GingerBaby89 they recommend when you get near your ovulation time to do OPKs a few times a day (& if you are doing the cheap internet ones ) it tends to be around 12, 4/5, 8/9pm to try to catch the LH surge. A surge can be as short as a few hours so it’s to pinpoint that really & try to learn a pattern each month, that’s why I’m doing it. Try to find out when (if?) I’m actually ovulating & catch it! If you are using clear blue that FMU so easier & each morning. But I’m only on cycle 2 & after a miscarriage so im all screwed but others could help!

@NicNac85 yes call your doctors & ask what to do to be referred for the midwives for a pregnancy. They will talk you though it, istt ur ally now it’s self referral (Phone or online) to your local community midwives where they will call you back to give you a booking in session which will be at what they think is about 8 weeks so you need your last AF Dates. So yeah call them sweetie you won’t be taking any of your doctors time xxx

@Mrsirvine getting fisted!! Love that comment!! 🤣🤣

@coronababy in IVF we are told for TWW to not have sex in case of infection risk (not entirely sure why) but don’t forget we’d paid a lot to get there. But they said laughing after embryo transfer was great & all exercise except vigorous twisting & stretching (or core exercises) fine. So now TTC naturally that’s what I’m going to do except nearing the end of TWW I would DTD. 🤷‍♀️

@BabyDust13 not looking forward to this TWW at all with lockdown it already feels like it's taking forever! Will you be testing before missed af?

@becky239 yeah I'll be testing a couple of days before. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies and the Dr advised to test early so we can keep track if I have anymore. It's a bit grim but I think I'd rather know about them

Thank you ladies - will give them a call tomorrow xxx

@CoronaBaby Yes, googled it and typically found 2 different sites, one which suggested it was a good thing and one which suggested it wasn't. Hmm.

@Minster2012 Sorry to hear about your spotting. Is it definitely your period do you think?

Interesting about core! There's so much stuff around how avoiding heavy weights isn't really based on science, but I just don't want to chance it. Plus it's a good excuse to veg out.

@MrsEmilyB I can't remember much of Trimester 1 as I was asleep at 5.30pm every day ... So I suspect I did not haha

@BabyDust13 sorry to hear about the chemical pregncies😓 I will be testing a couple of days before af due too so will probably be a similar time! Fingers crossed for us both some good news would be brilliant

8dpo today. When do I write myself off for being pregnant this month? Complete BPN whenever I've tested. Should there be a slight line by now?

Any advice would be great as feeling very disheartened

X

@becky239 sending you good vibes and baby dust. Let's hope Mays our month

@Littlebump2018 8DPO is still really I've seen on some threads people haven't got them until as late as 16DPO

Good luck

@becky239 welcome

I'm feeling lots of mild cramps this evening, sort of like mild AF cramps low down. Every little twinge has me googling haha.

Thanks @BabyDust13 this has made me feel better. This is our 3rd month trying and just feels like it won't happen. We fell so easily last time (although we weren't really thinking about it)

@myhappystreak thankyou how many DPO are you??

@vintagemoo no I can’t say for definite anything frankly 😖after having medicated miscarriage In March I was hoping my cycles might have sorted by now but it’s been 28 Days, 11days, now this at 11 days again I phoned EPU last time & they said it’s all ‘normal’ after miscarriage & to just kite bleeds if TTC so 🤷‍♀️. I’ve just been to loo again& nothing so just totally hoping it was from too vigorous TTC every day (soz boss! 😆🤪) & not AF.

@Littlebump2018 8dpo is very early. I wouldn’t test til 12dpo at least as it’s not an exact science on the ovulation so def not out xx

@becky239 8dpo xx

This is really not my month at all.

I'm CD23 which is 5DPO according to FF (after the weird bleeding and cramping for 5 days).

I'm now basically doubling over in pain - same side as ovulation (which has been the same side last 3 months - the only months I've been aware of it). It's so painful I have ibuprofen by my side and think I'll probably need to take it.

No more bleeding since yesterday but part of me is expecting something to happen.

The positive side of me would live to convince myself it's implantation cramping but I really doubt it - never heard of anyone experiencing such painful cramps (unless someone wants to cheer me up and tell me of their painful implantation cramps!)

Hopefully this is gone tomorrow following by AF in about a weeks time and maybe I can get a normal cycle next time!

@myhappystreak when are you planning on testing ? I am the same googling everything and symptom spotting. Hopefully this will be the month for you!

Hi all, am I allowed to jump on?? This seems like a fun bus!

TTC #3
DS1 2 (took a looooooong time to conceive, pcos etc)
DS2 7 months (surprise conception!)

DS2 weaning really well on to solids so hoping I may start to get some fertility back!! Against all common sense my body it yearning to be pregnant again!!

@NicNac85 huge congratulations
