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

@lucyrp While the cats away.. the mice will play and all that haha 😂

@unluckyducky i was going to get ICs but i'm trying not to stress myself out. if i has them i'd test like 4 times a day no word of a lie and probably for all 28-30 days of my cycle 😂😂

@TTCgee i am expecting ovulation so i'm hoping it's actually a correct increase but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 i normally test at 6.15ish but last two days because OH hasn't been working i've been resting at 7.09 but it says you seem to have an hours window to take it in as long as you do it in that window every day so 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 omg seriously i turned into a mad woman for like 15 minutes then i was like ahh what do i do now😂 yeah that's what i like to think if we are doing it anyway i won't miss it but like you said i would like to pinpoint when it is just for reference!
CRAZY FOOLS DOESNT EVEN COVER IT 😂

@33Carr literally! all my lacy underwear will be coming out! who knows i might even shave my legs 😂😉

@lucyrp what CD are you on? Do you know when you usually ovulate roughly?

@OnNaturesCourse CD14 and i have no idea, my periods used to come around the 22nd of each month so would be due now but i was 18 days late on my last period with faint positives and had a CP so my ovulation day should be on my old period day roughly which would be now anytime

Ah right, so plenty baby dancing for you guys this weekend hopefully!

@lucyrp Haha whoahhhh really are pushing the boat out ;p

@lucyrp I agree with all the girls re pm testing with CB - you're fine to do it if you're on flashing smiley! I think you can put your experience of going from ⭕️ straight to static down as an anomaly and don't worry too much about it.

@KRK05 hopefully this doesn't sound insensitive to your DS injury situation but... I'm really gunning for you to jump on the DTD bandwagon like right NOW! You're ov'ing and I selfishly want you to join our TWW! 😂

@blodyn91 tbh I'm not cutting down or adding anything for TTC other than folate. I love coffee but only ever have one (good one) a day, eat well as a general rule, and also still have wine or a G&T if I fancy (but will cut that after BFP). I'm not saying that this is the right approach for everyone, but that it's important to do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to research and eliminate/add foods or supplements, go for it!! I think in this regard (and many other things) @Minster2012 is my spirit sister.

@lucyrp Like @Minster2012 says your covered anyway with all your DTD so u dont even need to worry, it's just all about seeing that static for us crazy ladies 🙈 good yous will get a night to yourselves, I'm sure it will be like a 50 shades scene 😂

@Skip86 I think it was just the crazy obsessed mum that I am I was like no I cant think about TTC as in alarms every morning for BBT & religiously testing (cause that is some bloody daily effort I just didnt need at the moment) & I just wasnt in the mood of DTD but randomly testing yesterday & getting that static ended up me & OH DTD early hours this morning 🙄😂 we didnt even necessarily do it because we were like 'we have to' sort of thing I just think it was a moment seeing that static & all the talk ended up making us in the mood, he was also pretty excited when he seen it 😂

@Skip86 Its so hard to explain I must sound mental 😂 I kept saying were not TTC this month cause I feel like cause I missed days tracking that counts us out, so cause we DTD this morning just cause we wanted to & not cause we 'had' to it's like I'm taking it different like were out but realistically were in, if u understand what I'm saying? Or I do really sound like a crazy person 🙈 ... but guess we will be in the TWW together 💕

@OnNaturesCourse @33Carr definitely! i haven't shaved my legs since his birthday so 😂😂

@Skip86 i think that's what i'm going to do from now on class it as an anomaly. good idea and not stress about it 🙈 i also was secretly hoping @KRK05 would be joining the TWW too🙈

@KRK05 it's just the worry isn't it even tho you know you're fine 😂😂 i mean we might even watch the last 50 shades so yeah ... 🤞🏼😳 i'm waiting for my kegel balls to be delivered so excited but think they'll take up to a week 😂

also for anyone who struggled with the pelvic floor exercises or doesn't do them @Minster2012 pointed me in the direction of the nhs squeezy app and its so useful! it even gives you reminders and there's a visual you can follow. i've been using it today and i lobe it. it's £2.99 but worth it to make you get down and do them

@unluckyducky yes testing buddies ✌🏾 will you test early?

@lucyrp if your periods were every 30/31 days then I'm guessing you ovulate around CD17 so I'm predicting a static smile on Monday ☺️ glad the afternoon pee didn't completely throw you off.

Me and DP have just taken our supps for the day and realised our house has more pills than an Ibiza nightclub 🙈 I'll caveat this with saying all could be obtained from a healthy balanced diet but I don't quite have that so thought no harm in spending a small fortune buying a couple bits 😂

Yay @KRK05 glad to hear you are back in the running!
Ye are a mine of information girls, off to check out yhe squeezy app.

Ha ha @Skip86 I feel the same! The way I see it plenty of ladies around the world, large, small, alcoholics, drug users, teetotals, meat eaters /veggies/vegans etc get pregnant every day. We are very blessed that we have a beautiful son we didn’t think we would have & when we did IVF for him to my best friend our IVF clinic said “we even recommend a calming glass of wine the night before transfer to soothe nerves”, so that’s what we did with my best friend (who we def didn’t say to her to stop drinking in the lead up, obs they do say you have to act pregnant & when BFP”) so when we did it in feb too I had a lovely hot bath the night before with a big G&T & over Xmas I drank as per usual (don’t forget we have a DS so not exactly irresponsible here!)

& I got a BFP too so it’s still our approach. 🤷‍♀️ Life is too short to over analyse anything

Plus we have great sex that way

But we’ve just had a fab sexy workout then I’ve done a joe wicks HIIT & Pilates

Bring on moody toddler 😂

@Katao yes do i think it's great! will probably keep me on track to actually do them! i'm terrible at remembering. could go weeks and then realise i haven't done any 😂

@Minster2012 how do you get the motivation to do the joe wicks work outs ? i did a couple then couldn't be bothered. my house is too hot for doing it inside and haven't got ahywhere outside i could do it without people watching me 😂is rather get outside and walk or run. i miss the gym 😭 i also wonder why i haven't lost weight when i have as much sex as i do 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@KRK05 you don't sound crazy at all! I totally get it 👌🏼 and yayyy to you being in the TWW!

@SmileyT 😳💊💊💊😂😂

@Minster2012 yes so true! I totally understand people wanting to make diet changes etc, but I actually think it'd make me more anxious, so I'll stick with my soothing vinos! I take so many crohns meds already too anyway, I'm like a walking pharmacy.

Ok I'm off to bed!! DH has the candles and massage oil ready 😍
Laterssss ladies! X

Those are my ranges too @unluckyducky explains a lot about my mental state then, I never knew that. All making sense now as I'm generally quite anxious/stressed person. Had depression before but pretty sure I'm over feeling like that now. Does flare up when anxious tho!
I think I take as many pills as you @SmileyT 👍🏾 do you take them all at the same time? I'm getting worried about side effects! Had a weird sensation in my arm yesterday after taking folic acid, vita dha and coq10 all together 😬
I'm on the g&ts now @Minster2012 🥂

@Skip86 Have a great time ;p

@katao I definitely recommend the squeezy app put details on the previous thread about it but it was recommended to me by the physio and it deffo helped saw massive improvements if you do them properly!!i found the screen visual helpful too rather than trying to count the time in my head! Sounds like @lucyrp is already loving the app!! X

@lucyrp I have to to keep my weight steady & I think it’s only 20mins whereas when I go to the gym it has to be on toddler free days & it takes up so much more of my time I’m finding it better doing more mini work outs at home I can stick him eating breakfast watching paw patrol & I do a quick workout then Pilates when it’s daddy time his idol gets home! I have cancelled my gym membership!

@Skip86 I know exactly what you mean, I take 13 pills a day anyway due to my cancer so I only wanted to add in one more! Have a lovely evening!

@notyetamumbuttrying chin chin! My kinda gal!

So I’ve just read the instructions for my new packet of CBs & there’s no way I can test in the afternoon too as you have to hold your wee for 4 hours!! That’s an eternity for me!! I can’t hold for 2! 😂🤣

@Cocoblue22 it was you so sorry! i @ the wrong person🙈 i've done my two sessions already today! i find the quick ones easier then the long ones tho!

@Skip86 have fun 😉😈

@Minster2012 im lucky where i moved in september last year to which is now my home the gym is literally 30 seconds down the road so when everything is normal i out DS to bed and head down there for an hour and then come back and spend time with OH or if i get days off when DS is in school i go there then too. my work is very much all over the place i don't gave a set rota or anything so sometimes il work the weekends and not so much in the week etc

@unluckyducky @notyetamumbuttrying i feel like i've missed out on something here ?? tried scrolling back to find the messages you're referring too but can't find them.

@unluckyducky was talking about the stages in your cycle and mental health @lucyrp we both have short FP which is spring. LP is autumn. It's a bit further bk in the thread now.
I've heard about this book before and was going to buy it but then changed my mind. May change my mind back again lol!
I'm drinking until I get a positive test @Minster2012 I'll cut bk in tww but few g&ts shouldn't scupper my chances considering all the alcoholics and crack heads that manage to conceive!
