@Newbie0818, @MrsEmilyB it’s a similar Design to a menstrual cup, I think it’s actually easier to use! I came across it a couple of months ago after reading people had been using menstrual cups to keep the swimmers up there and then getting pregnant! The conception cup is designed to keep sperm close to the cervix, you can wear it for up to an hour (it’s comfortable so you don’t notice it) so no need to lay with your legs in the air! I have no idea if it actually works but thought it can’t hurt, every little helps right?! You can get it in boots (currently out of stock) if anyone is interested www.boots.com/ferti-lily-conception-aid-10271016

I can't remember who it was who wanted to follow my story as I had nausea since 2dpo so can't tag you. Never wanted to symptom spot as DS1 I had none. Can't ignore these.

Today 10dpo

Nausea still here and really bloody strong too 😩 goes by 2 for a big fat dinner!

DH commented how I've actually got my boobs back as i joked since I stopped breastfeeding in October I have empty sacks 🙈

Super light headed like having to sit down a lot!

Feeling super rough. 🤞🏼👶🏼 please be a reason to feel this bad 🤪

@Polly2020 no problem!! I'm worried about COVID but also hoping if I time this right I could stay out the office for 2 years 🤭 oh wow that really is a drastic change, one extreme to the other, glad you realised before it was too late! Hahaha my DH complains that he only gets it more often in fertile week, he wants it daily all month long, think I'd collapse!

Polly2020 · 04/05/2020 09:03

That's like me just totally consumed my whole thinking.... I'm on a run of nights from tonight and really concerned I might miss out so poor DH is getting locked in the bedroom every morning haha

SmileyT · 04/05/2020 09:05

@MrsEmilyB I don't use natural cycles but do use femometer, have you put in that you had EWCM? as mine pulled ovulation date to that day when I put that in, but then when I put my peak opk in it moved to the day after that. I think it will also move once it realises that your temps haven't risen as it waits for 3 days to confirm ovulation.

@RobinRose I was thinking about buying that cup for next cycle if I don't get lucky, if nothing else it helps with the mess caused ttc 😂😂 although I was wondering if a menstrual cup would do a similar thing. how do you find it?

MrsLBear · 04/05/2020 09:17

Morning ladies. Sorry been mia. Unfortunately I got a bfn on Saturday and my temp dropped to cover line today at 13dpo so I'm out. Will have to jump on the June bus 😕😕😕😕

I've considered using that cup @RobinRose is it easy to insert?

MrsLBear · 04/05/2020 09:21

I've made a June bus but will still be here to see all your BFPs ladies. I'm feeling positive for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

RobinRose · 04/05/2020 09:23

@SmileyT I find it really easy to use! It’s much softer than a menstrual cup so its easier to insert, I find. I guess a menstrual cup could have the same effect but the menstrual cups are meant to sit low (the one I have does anyway) whereas the conception cup sits at the top of the vaginal canal, so much higher!

RobinRose · 04/05/2020 09:25

@MrsLBear yes, super easy. Had a couple of practice runs with it so I knew what to do after dtd and it was fine 😊 anyone who uses a menstrual cup should find it easy to use!

BabyDust13 · 04/05/2020 09:33

Good morning all
4DPO and counting
🤞🏼🤞🏼

Minster2012 · 04/05/2020 09:41

@Hopefulmummie I’m still drinking at the weekend & not really worrying about the amounts, plenty of women get pregnant doing much worse than sharing a bottle of wine over dinner & a GnT! But each to their own ❣️I’ve got a toddler though so that in lockdown might be a contributing factor to needing a 🍷😂

@MrsLBear I’m so sorry it was BFN sending lots of hugs your way 💕🤗have you got a little treat for yourself to be kind to you for AF time?

@RobinRose do you stick this cup in after DTD?? So we could have a purple bullet for fun then a cup for help?

@babyG123 I think you should test xxx

Juno231 · 04/05/2020 09:49

@babyg123 test test test! how do you track your ovulation btw? with symptoms so strong so early on I'm thinking you may have ovulated earlier than you first thought?

Positivetime · 04/05/2020 09:51

Congratulations @NicNac85 and @Adrianoska! Such amazing news, wishing you all the best in the coming months.

I’ve been a little MIA since ovulation last week. I’ve just felt I needed to stay away from my phone and stay busy with organising and cleaning my house!

I’m about 5-7 days post ovulation. I’m not sure what happened the day of my static smiley when I had blood spotting for the first time. We did it three times late night following SMEP plan. I personally think i missed it the day of the static so all that BD was probably pointless afterwards.
Period due on the 15th May, such a horrible wait.

Hope everyone is keeping well during this time.

RobinRose · 04/05/2020 09:51

@Minster2012, yes use after dtd! Or an orange bullet... whatever colour you fancy 🤣 although purple does sound slightly more seductive 🤔

MrsEmilyB · 04/05/2020 09:59

@RobinRose ahh I checked amazon too and they don't have any! I wonder whether everyone is ttc now we are in lockdown! As someone else said, being at home has given people a lot to think about!

@babyG123 - I think you need to test, girl!!!

@SmileyT - yes! I did put ewcm as I had some of that over the weekend (although now wondering whether it was residual preseed 😝 from the earlier BD we did)

@mrslbear - so sorry about your BFN. Please hang here if you feel up to it - we'd miss you! And I'm sure I'll join you on the June bus!

@babydust13 good morning 🥰

MrsEmilyB · 04/05/2020 10:03

@Positivetime - don't write yourself off! Don't forget the day of the static is before ovulation, and the LH peak means you'll ovulate within 12-48 hours usually! Also, sperm lives up to 5 days inside you! So you definitely don't have to DTD on the day of the LH peak to get PG xx

Minster2012 · 04/05/2020 10:17

@Positivetime stay true to your name! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@RobinRose I see, yes might look into that! After all our bullet chat last week I bought myself a purple bullet so waiting for that to arrive this week hoping it’s still in FW (probs will be as no static smiles here or positive OPKs) on CD12 now but I’ve no idea on my cycle & still got random spotting so probs jo even ovulating FFS but enjoying trying so far 😂

myhappystreak · 04/05/2020 10:18

Ooh @babyG123 that sounds promising. When are you going to test? Fingers crossed for you.

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 10:21

@Juno231

@MrsEmilyB

I'm so trying to be strong and wait. I have really long 36 day cycles one app says AF due Wednesday but the one I tracked ovulation with says Friday.

Quite a strong spike in the ovulation sticks or I'd have thought the same. 🤪 and loads of love making 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Just catching up on all these messages. I love how supportive all you girls are of each other. It makes me feel more normal in this crazy TTC journey. Also huge congratulations @NicNac85 and @Adrianoska 💕

Can I ask you all a quick question about BBT as it’s driving me insane! I’ve been tracking my BBT for my previous cycle and this cycle. I wasn’t very good last cycle at doing it at the same time but temperatures did show lower before O and higher after and then the drop when AF arrived. I am now CD15 and I got the flashing smiley on clear blue OPK yesterday and also EWCM. My BBT dropped to 35.92 yesterday and this morning dropped to 35.68. Which I believe is very low. Should I be worried? Lots of googling has led me to wonder if I have issues with my thyroid, if I am in fact ovulating, etc. Anyone else have experience of BBT low temps? X

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 10:24

@myhappystreak might meet my AF predictions in the middle and go for Thursday. 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Juno231 · 04/05/2020 10:30

@mrsemilyb ah well as soon as you put ewcm in on femometer it predicts ovulation the following day! I doubt it was pre-seed though as that is too watery for the two finger string test 💪

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 10:34

Started spotting today after 5 days of cramps so think that's me out 😞

Skyla01 · 04/05/2020 10:37

@MrsLBear really sorry to hear about BFN.

@Positivetime you are definitely still in with a chance!

@MrsEmilyB even with all the tracking it can be hard to know when ovulation is- that's kinda why I stopped. Just keep DTD and you'll be fine!

@babyG123 sounds promising! Are you going to wait until AF is late?

GingerBaby89 · 04/05/2020 10:37

@GemmaMay3291 don't worry- you're supposed to get a temporary dip (maybe one or two days) in BBT just before you ovulate and, supposedly, on implantation xxx

@BabyG123 come on lovey, you can do it!!! Give us a lovely BFP to start week 7 of lockdown!!! 🤞🏻🙌🏻🤞🏻

@MrsEmilyB I had the same this cycle. As soon as I logged first EWCM it said I was about to ovulate, but I knew that was rubbish because it was only CD8!!! I think I just had a long fertile period this month as the rest of my data adjusted the prediction to ovulation on CD13.

I'm on 3DPO and my BBT ROCKETED last night, I was SO hot 😂😂😂
