Lucky thread number 5.... hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Danni2019 hey xx I'm okay, I'll be in my fertile time mid week but will ovulate Sunday as per haha. I'm just taking it easy this time around I can't be bothered and I don't have the head space with so much work going on. Just going to hope for the best xx how are you? Where are you in your cycle? Xx

@Missgoldilocks sometimes it is best just to take it easy and just go with the flow if your in the mood to DTD great if not it only takes the once they say although we should all be pregnant by now if that's the case!
I'm a bit out of sync this cycle as I had my peak quite early on what I thought was cycle day 10 but had a strange af last cycle with light for a few days before heavy flow so I'm not quite sure to be honest. If I go from heavy flow I'm only CD22 today of a usual 28 day cycle but because I had my peak so early I'm assuming my af should arrive early too? So sometime this week I should think x

Hi @Danni2019, I got my peak and static smiley on Thursday afternoon, so now 3DPO! I was expecting ovulation a little later (today, based on last cycle) so had planned to hold out until 20th before testing... If I make it that far on new dates then I'll actually be late for real, rather than just muddled 🤞🤞

@LV1987 I'm so happy for you that you know where you are in your cycle this month you must feel more relaxed now knowing you have had your peak x

Thank you @Danni2019! More relaxed at the moment... But ask me again in about 6 days 😂 seriously though, we have the children with us again now, so between homeschooling and working from home full time, I am hoping I will be too busy to symptom spot 🤞 I can't believe you're nearly round to AF/testing time again!

@LV1987 I have no doubt this month that af will arrive I just want it over and done with now so I can move on to next cycle. Fingers crossed for you as you are next to finish your TWW 🤞x

@danni2019 yeah AF came on day 28 ( my cycle has never been that long since coming off the pill, why do our bodies play tricks with us!) Now starting cycle 7 of TTC.
Do you all use ovulation sticks? I used the Clear Blue ones for the first time last cycle and I'm not sure whether to bother again. Although once I got the smiley face I didn't use it again until the following morning when I got my peak and know you meant to use them more frequently when you get to that point. X

Morning ladies x
I'm still here keeping everything crossed for every single on of you this cycle x I could really do with some good news, so get those eggs fertilized! x
My spotting has stopped for now, not sure what is going on. I've got my EPU appointment tomorrow morning so will get a re-scan. I want to avoid D&C, so the only help I'll accept is tablets.
I'm slowly coming to terms with it although I know the worst is still to come. But we decided we want to get back "on the horse" as soon as its all over, as horrible as it may sound we need to move on from this set back x so I now ordered conception tablets for both of us and will start my OH on it from tomorrow, I won't be taking anything atm so I don't delay miscarriage any further x

@katie1109 thank you girl you know we are all here for you and are going to support you all the way!! 🤗❤️ What vitamins did you start on when you got pregnant? I was going to by the pregnacare conception ones xx

@Missgoldilocks I was on pregnacare conception and my OH was on wellman conception for the first time and that’s when we conceived x also used conceive plus fertility lubricant couple of times in FW x fingers crossed for you x

Just sitting in the waiting area of EPU 😭

Virtually holding your hand lovey xxx

@katie1109 thanks girl I bought them xx good luck to you 🤞🤗

Somebody help me please I don't know what to do. My OH has basically said he doesn't want to dtd right and we are entering fertile week. He's like I don't feel like it let's just wait till the weekend when we have to do it. Now fine at least we will do it on the weekend before I ovulate but my issue is this has really impacted our sex life. I'm still very much wanting it while not in fertile week but he's completely shut down. He even said "well for nearly a year we've been having sex for a specific purpose so how am I supposed to feel" 😩 I don't want this to ruin our sex life so how the eff do I make it better? Do I have to stop trying for a baby for a while? Jesus like it's not stressful enough

I just spoke to him and he said he's really stressed with everything right now like our work for example it's stressful and trying for a baby is adding to the mix which I understand. So I told him from now on I won't tell him when I'm fertile but he HAS to finish every single time we have sex so I don't have to tell him. I hope it bloody works

I think your situation with your partner is in a way quite unique @missgoldilocks. All of our OHs start to feel a bit like sperm donors as we get further into this journey, but you guys have the added complication of him being a bit of a slow burner shall we say. I can't imagine that is easy for him as its probably something that you've always loved about sex with him, and now it's become a source of frustration for you both instead. But, you are in it together and if you keep talking through it, I have no doubt that you will work it out 💪🌹

Hi ladies, may I join? I'm TTC baby number 1 - i've recently come off the pill so i'm waiting for my body to start having cycles again to know where i'm at although i've had really niggling pulling pains in my ovaries the last few days so i think I might have ovulated but OPKs have been very faint so not sure if it's just my body adjusting to life without my pill.

@LV1987 thanks ❤️❤️ how are you doing?? I git a glob of ewcm yesterday I'm fuming I couldn't dtd 🤣only cd11 today

@whiterose1988 welcome! Your body may take a while to get back to normal after pill use :)

Morning ladies x hope you’re all well x I have just returned from EPU, I have opted for medical management and was given a tablet there and then and pessaries to take on Friday x it will be tough couple of days but we’ll get through it x

@katie1109 sending you lots of love xx
I've never even considered getting my OH to take any kind of vitamins, I may have to change that! I only started on the Pregnacare Conception last month prior to that was just taking the folic acid.

Big hugs @Katie1109, I would have opted for the same if I were you and I have my fingers crossed that things move quickly for you. Lots of wine and chocolate xx

@Missgoldilocks would your OH consider going in a cup for you before the weekend? Neither me or OH have a high sex drive and I'd say that 98% of the times we've done it over the past year has been purely timed for baby making. Just before we found out we were expecting we discussed artificial insemination and he was much more keen on that. Less physically demanding for him. We did it a couple of times (yay for yoghurt pots and old calpol syringes 🤣) but then found out that we'd actually caught the month before so I can't tell you if it helped or not. I think Quiffy was the one who mentioned it on here before? That might help take a little pressure off anyway, and he can maybe see DTD as fun time again?

@Missgoldilocks I'm doing OK... 5dpo now so too early to symptom spot, but obvs that is not stopping me 😂

@katie1109 I think I would have opted for the same thing. Be kind to yourself ❤️

@Fredthespider hey! How're you?? Thanks for getting back to me. I spoke to him about that but he seemed to be on the fence again about it. He seemed more open to just finishing every time and me not telling him when I am fertile, so next month if there's a next month we will try that.

We haven't dtd yet and due to ovulate on Sunday but we will do tonight, Saturday and Sunday, leave it at that. X

@Missgoldilocks this is going to sound a bit grim... but there's no way for me to dress it up 😂 obviously TTC kind of ruins things anyway, but someone once told me when things feel a bit stale or difficult, you need to "remember why you were f*cking in the first place" 😂
Basically what I mean is if life allows it, try and make one of those days a bit special or spontaneous. Spend some quality time with your OH. Have a nice dinner or a shower together or something haha spice it up a bit 😏 not a forever fix but tends to keep us going when things start to feel a bit monotonous!

CD14 for me today. My apps all predict O day for next week but did an OPK yesterday out of interest and was a fair bit darker than I expected, not positive but hoping that means it could be a bit sooner 😬🤞🏻

Thank you for the support ladies x

@Mumofboys17 giiiirl trust me I am here for it! I have tried it all honestly he is just not open to it. I'm like shower with me? No.
Watch this sex movie with me babe it's so sexy!
Do we really have to? It's not my thing.

😑😒🙁 I tryyyyy and I'm like the touchy one so I'll kiss him ill look at him with sexual energy and he's like fucking dead as a door nail mate. I mean he's normally quite placid but when he's stressed he's completely placid ffs it's infuriating.
I have been trying so hard and he's just not on it. 😢 But I know when he's stressed from work it is like this he doesn't think about sex at all so I guess I just gotta roll with it for the time being then next month I won't say anything and hope he feels better

I'm cd12 not dtd yet hoping to do it tonight but let's see 😞
