50 shades of TTC (June bus part 2)

[SmileyT]

Let's all intro ourselves again...so people can use the top of the thread as a quick reference to where we are at and maybe find some cycle buddies - everyone welcome to join the madhouse of the June 2020 bus x

@Noble89 it was @SmileyT that last night said she’d been drinking grapefruit juice & pulled out a massive glob of ewcm & got her hubby to okay with it too 😂

ps love this group!!!

To PLAY with it too even

@notyetamumbuttrying @SmileyT GOD there's always one isn't there! 🙄😉

@Minster2012 okays I shall give it a rest and see what happens!

Right I am looking at purchasing evening primrose oil capsules can I start taking them whenever ?? It would be one or two every day

AF not due until 21st June ish.

I haven't decided whether to use OPKs or not. I'm usually pretty good at knowing when I've ovulate because I get ovulation pains but last month I had chronic appendicitis flare up at around the same time and it's pretty hard to tell the difference 😂

Can I add gin to my grapefruit juice? 🍹?
Or does that defeat the purpose?

Haha @lucyrp and it's always me 💁🏾‍♀️no idea re primrose oil sorry hun.
@watermelonwizard so I take agnus castus when on and up until peak opk. Folic acid, coQ10 and vita dha all the time, Once a day. Hubs takes the men version of pregnacare. And with the sex pressure you need to do mindfulness like meditate, I recommend the headspace app.

Mornjng ladies

@thegirlwholived good luck this morning! Waiting for good news xx

Ooh gin and grapefruit @Skip86 yummy 😋

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you, that's really helpful. Going to check all of those out. x

@SmileyT that ewcm sounds like mine this month but mine was when I wiped! And then when I was trying to catch my wee in a pot i saw some more drop out 🙈 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that was the best day to have sex!
I think I'm 2dpo now and feel absolutely no different, should I feel different or is it just way too early?

@TheGirlWhoLived got everything crossed for you today!

GUYS - we were about to bang last night and OH asked if it was fine/safe to bang and is it fine for me to orgasm and I was like yeeeaaahhhh but did a quick google and OMG there are studies out there that say if you orgasm around the time of implantation it can dislodge the bean and those couples had reduced success....... please tell me this is rubbish?!

And conversely the presence of sperm in there can help implantation?? So OH gets to bang but I can't finish!!! Not sure about this at all.

@SmileyT fab list thank you!! I've got AF due on 4 June and intention is to wait to then to test... but I might (probably will) cave earlier!!!

Omg happy f**cking wednesday! Just weighed myself and I've somehow managed to lose in the region of 3-4 pounds 💪🏼💪🏼

6dpo and not symptom spotting yet but I can feel the urge to poas creeping in already 🙈
@watermelonwizard I know what you mean, dtd can feel a bit functional when you use opks, like you've been told to do it. Even if it's not too different from your normal sexlife you have all this ttc info in your head 🥴

@lucyrp congratulations! That's amazing!!
I'm back at group from today onwards and gained 2lbs during lockdown which isn't so bad considered I comfort ate after the mc!

@smileyt Can I eat grapefruits rather than have the juice (I don't like either tbh) alsooo it says I'm due to ovulate in 5 days so will taking the juice work now? Or have I left it too late IC are well light tho 😐

@Amy00 whaaaat?!! Surely not?! Nah I don't think you should believe any of that, in fact I think there is another interesting suggestion out there that an orgasm AFTER he ejaculates actually helps the sperm get to where they need to go. The muscle contractions in your vagina create an 'upsuck'! Though again, this could also be rubbish 🤷🏼‍♀️ Enjoy your orgasms girl!!

@lucyrp nice work 👏🏼

@Mococo1 @Skip86 I mean I weighed first thing this morning and I was pretty much naked and hadn't eaten any breakfast but if you've lost weight you've lost weight right ?😂 I've been weighing anywhere between .3 and .6 during lockdown but today I got the 0 for the stone mark so technically I could have lost 6 pounds who knows 😂 this is my breakfast today 😏

Nope, as one lined as one liners can be! It is probably still too early though so I’ll give it a week and try again if no AF! So pop me on 3rd June please

My goodness u lot move fast! Think I last posted Friday or so, halfway through the first thread and this one nearly done!

I was ill for a few days and went for a covid test, luckily it was negative! Just need to be careful as shielding.

Anyway, my IC never went to peak 😫 I’ll keep doing them but not sure what’s going on.

So what do you reckon is your average spend on TTC every month? Mine is probably £50 without the ovulation shtick.

£34 myo-inositol alpha something and folic acid
£3 omega 3 and 6
£5 normal vitamins
£8 pg tests (probs 2 a month whilst TTC)

@BumDiggyDiggyDiggyBumDiggyBum I wondered where you'd got to ?! Thank god no Covid. Glad to have you back

@TheGirlWhoLived mines probably about £30. I buy folic acid on its own which is like £2 if that. My CB tests that are £20 and then pregnancy tests at about £10 as long as I don't go psycho and buy like 4 packs 😂😂

@Skip86 @amy00 meant around implantation though and there are theories it's harmful for the same reasons you're told not to take certain supplements in the TWW - namely because it's thought the contractions of the uterus would disturb implantation. Some IVF clinics even say not to have sex in the TWW for this reason!

Saying that clearly most of the world still do so I wouldn't worry about it too much 😂

@watermelonwizard I take omega 3, pregnacare, ubiquinol and evening primrose oil. Will take iodine once pregnant too x

@Skip86 add some gin! It will help you relax! And relaxing is good for getting preg! X

@lucyrp so jealous right now of your weight loss but well done...got to be all that banging!! 🤣 you could sell a video.....bang yourself slim!! Haha when you make millions you’re welcome x
