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

We have a very observant 10 to, so we are having to hide and sneak like teenagers, which can be fun, once we thought he was asleep and had to stop when we heard him coming, what are you doing?🥺 hmm, just getting up...

@Newbie9 my sister concieved her second whilst still BF. Just over a year between the 2. She had stopped feeding in the middle of the night though I think. She had to stop when 3/4 month preggers with 2nd as she got too tired.

@Minster2012 sometimes we go through periods where you just can't be bothered but not that often 😂😂

@LittleRa omg i felt the same! it would be possible for us to do SMEP as it would be unnatural doing it less which is not what you want to be doing🙈

@Franklydear talking about that my DS 5yo came in this morning and said "why were you fighting before" omg i laughed so hard 😂😂

@lucyrp guess what I'm watching ladies... OH is at work so I'll try the first one alone, then try force OH to indulge on Monday night when he is off night shifts 💁🏾‍♀️ (ignore the cabling we need to get boxed under the TV 🙈) I am seriously impressed with you DTD more than once a day with a 5yr old in the house 😂

@Justkeepswimming91 oh I really hope it comes along soon, just try and get loads of practice in and focus on other things, even though I know that is impossible once you decide to ttc 😕

@Newbie9 welcome 🙏

Why am I the only one that doesn't have a Chinese - I had 2 slices of toast for dinner might start calories again next week, although I say this every week 😂

@Minster2012 That was my result today (high34) yesterday it was 100 when I got my static on CB, I just tested today & will the next couple to see it go down to low readings. I only tested the once yesterday (100 reading with same urine as static smiley) maybe if I tested again last night wouldve got even higher but was no point cause the static confirmed it anyway.

Love how everybody's enjoying there 50 shades nights with OH & my 5 year old is currently punching the air pretend fighting zombies 😭😭😫

@SmileyT oooo you'll have to let us know how you enjoy it! it's enough to give me twinges so 😂this is what is on my tv at the moment 🙄it's a struggle i tell you! once was this morning when he was still asleep or so ee thought before he snuck in and the second time was a locked in the toilet downstairs whilst he was watching his programmes 😂 bad mummy 🙈
i'm going to go running tomorrow hopefully or at the very least a walk 🙈

@lucyrp Well we actually ended up DTD every day from CD8 to CD24 (today) expect for CD22 which was day after ovulation I think! I limited it to once per day as I thought that was better- something about saving you stronger swimmers? Or is it ok to go multiple times a day?

Planning on Watching 50 shades tonight too!

Not sure if these are still going ahead with covid but I was referred to an epu for my mc and they scanned me there and then- the nurse said if I'm so anxious next time to ask my gp for a reassurance scan as I've experienced a mc and they should just refer you if you are persistent

Might help with some of you ladies instead of getting a private scan!

Ah I see @KRK05, that makes sense then, I’m so hoping mine goes static tomorrow Cos I’m just so useless at holding wee & drink too much water clearly 😂but mines still low so no idea 🤷‍♀️I hope I’ve not missed it

@blodyn91 thanks Hun, I think the night feeds are the worst for hormones x

@smileyt thank you x

@KRK05 I’ve just not even recorded another one at 0 😥

@LittleRa i haven't read up on it much i did have someone telling me that doing it every day wasn't good but if its what you do anyway then i'd carry on and there's no such thing as too much sex is there! i'm sure multiple times a day is fine well i'm hoping so as we normally do it twice a day and sometimes more so i'm screwed if its bad 🙈🙈

@Mococo1 i shall remember that!! thanks! 😁

@KRK05 i hate to say it but DS is at nanny's and i am missing him awfully already 😭 i can't even go upstairs and watch him sleep because he's not here☹️OH is on his game so i'm just sat here on mumsnet😂

@Minster2012 Fingers crossed it does or atleast over the next couple of days 🤞🏻 the first 3 days I tested mines was pretty high in the 50s, obviously missed a few then got peak so mines better go down to low or I'm broken 😭 your like me I really struggle holding & tbh I've not really limited what I've drank before mine I was peeing, drinking my usual then for about an hour before testing would just take sips, I felt like the more I shouldnt drink or wee the more I wanted to 🤷🏼‍♀️

@lucyrp I'm the same if my DS is away, I normally do the whole 'I could really do with a wee break' then when hes away 'when is he coming home' 😂 my DS is normally away to gran & grandads for a sleepover every second weekend but with lockdown it's been like 10 weeks hes not been away cause he wasnt well before it so I'm REALLY needing that mum night off 😂

Seen this and thought of you lovely ladies 😂

@OnNaturesCourse That is brilliant 😂😂😂 so accurate!

Yes absolutely @KRK05 damn it the more you think about it 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s great @OnNaturesCourse 😂

@KRK05 i nearly facetimed my mum bdfore to get her to show my DS sleeping because i miss him so much🙈😂il sit here crying sometimes because i just wish i could listen to him breathing or kiss his head 🙈😂such a lemon 🙈

Hi all, TTC #3 although my ‘fertile window’ was 17th - 22nd May (according to the iPhone health app ) and we only dtd on 19th so doubtful.
Is their a dummies guide to TTC anywhere? Any useful links?
I fell pregnant with #1 by mistake and #2 we literally did it once that month (with a non sleeping 1 yr old) and fell pregnant. I wasn’t tracking or anything.
With this one I have been more conscious that I need to be healthy and wanted a build up of folic acid/conception vitamins etc beforehand but I’m conscious that we are both slightly older and we probably won’t be so lucky this time! We don’t have sex very often because I’m still breastfeeding / cosleeping with my 2.5 yr old (which may affect my fertility too I assume).
Feel like a complete novice even though I’ve got 2 kids and I have no clue what the terminology means so help would be appreciated. Hoping to give it a better crack in June!

@KRK05 I'm giving up on Fermometer readings next time! Just going to go off what I can see to determine whether it's high/low/peak as I think the numbers throw me off! OH is ok, he's in a lot of pain tonight but hopefully 2 days off work to stay in bed and lounge around with loose/no clothing will help the healing process along.

@Minster2012 Thankyou for the welcome! This seems like my kinda group, a good few laughs on what seems like a stressful journey and ways to get OH in the mood😂
Also does anybody know roughly how many days I should have a positive opk? I have had strong positives for the last 3 days, so not sure when my first day of post ovulation will be??
I’m having a right laugh reading some of these posts!!

@Ltay2 i think that's the way forward to be honest, just go with what you think and you'll notice a difference in the tests yourself anyway. maybe stick them to a piece of paper with the dates written next to them i've seen others doin that so you can see the gradual difference instead of on pictures in the fermometer app ?! just an idea

i was quite reserved on here until everyone else started and now i've let the real me out there's no going back 😂

So 50 Shades is on, but OH has fallen asleep 😂😂😂 guess it isn't his scene, but I can at least watch it in peace 😜

@KRK05 haha definitely a sign!! Doesn't hurt to be in with a shot does it 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I'm not sure I'm in with much of a chance, only doing it twice at best over these few days, but only takes one to stick I guess 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was surprised that OV was on the predicted date for both of us though, especially after the AF dramas last month haha.

@lucyrp I really need to! Going to do a food shop tomorrow, I seem to do alright at the beginning of each week and then by mid way I feel like I deserve some chocolate for doing so well 😂🙄

@Minister2012 thanks lovely! Maybe I'll get lucky only doing it this morning and tomorrow but it's safe to say we haven't tried our hardest this month 😂 absolutely won't stop me symptom spotting throughout the TWW though haha.

Welcome @Slat3 💕(rhyming 😂, yes coupla glasses of wine in & that’s the level I’ve got to when writing this Cos I have to put “@“ in front 😂🤣!)

Sounds like you did it pretty good for babies 1 &2 though be careful, we are a horny bunch here so you may actually have more sex Cos of us 😆

@Ltay2 how is OH’s injury? Is it healing ok?

@lucyrp I genuinely nearly spat out my drink then when you said you were pretty reserved on here to start with...must have missed that one...like 50 pages ago 🤔

@Vil10 I can’t comment on the positive OPKs as I think I’m broken. I’ve had a flashing Clear blue smile now for 7 days, only beaten by @Bear127 at 9 days & yet my cheapie OPKs have got as “high” as 30 which is nowhere near as clear as the control line 😬😣😭whereas most people get a peak the next day or so. Fingers crossed it’s close for you 🤞🏻🍀are you using strips or clear Blue’s?
