@Mococo1 I can bet you it will go as slowly as ever 😂😂x

sjones2588 · 31/05/2020 19:13

How do people keep the swimmers in?!
Laying with my feet on the wall and a pillow under my bum. Currently ovulating so want to hold the buggers hostage as long as possible?! 😂

Mococo1 · 31/05/2020 19:16

Shones2588 loool I stand up and they all drop out I swear 😭😭😭

Clairey844 · 31/05/2020 19:16

Congratulations @slimshadyscousin and @RiverRoo
Such lovely positive news for the thread.
@TheGirlWhoLived fingers crossed for a darker like tomorrow
Good luck to all of you due to test in the next few days.
I'm catching up and feeling like I haven't BD enough during my FW but nothing I can do now. 5dpo (I think), this tww is dragging.
Here's to June arriving and being the magic month for us all
Xxx

sjones2588 · 31/05/2020 19:20

@mococo1 i know, its so disheartning haha. I usually cannot wait to get rid of the fuckers, but very different when TTC 😉😂

SmileyT · 31/05/2020 19:22

@Pixielou16 I'm trying pineapple core, ground sesame seeds and ground sunflower seeds. Legs up the wall, meditation, avoiding eating cold foods like salads, reduce caffeine. Less animal protein more plant protein, no idea if any of these things work but worth a try I guess 🤣

@sjones2588 I use a cup after sex (great for all the time so much less mess) and sit with bum up on a pillow sometimes. The good swimmers actually shoot right up anyway so u wouldn't worry too much x

@lucyrp ahh if it's stressing you out maybe just take a test and then it's out of your head xx

OP posts:
Mococo1 · 31/05/2020 19:25

@SmileyT did you mention this earlier...do you do one set of seeds and then the other? Xx I love a cup of tea less caffeine is gna be a challenge x

sjones2588 · 31/05/2020 19:26

Thanks @SmileyT i have a menstral cup so i'll waddle downstairs and get it 😂

SmileyT · 31/05/2020 19:35

@Mococo1 yep you do flax and pumpkin in the follicular phase and then sesame and sunflower in the luteal phase supposed to regulate hormones. I do drink quite a lot of tea at work but going to try and switch to water x

@sjones2588 yes do it!! there are actually conception cups but I use a menstrual cup 💁🏾‍♀️

Hi all,
Exciting BFPs!
I’m still hanging on at 11dpo with no symptoms, AF due on Weds, so might test tues or weds. Not holding out much hope due to zero symptoms and being first month off the pill.
Back to work tomorrow!

TheGirlWhoLived · 31/05/2020 19:50

I’m so rubbish at tagging people, it must seem so rude! Sorry xx
Disappointed myself by doing a FRER which looks pretty negative 😩

Sending positive thoughts to everyone

DKDK123 · 31/05/2020 19:55

@SmileyT I haven't heard the no eating cold foods one, I'm on salads constantly just now to try eat healthier. Not that it matters much this month as I'm out but good to know for when its next time to try.

SmileyT · 31/05/2020 20:03

@DKDK123 I think it's actually more about eating warming foods, I don't necessarily think a salad is detrimental but apparently you should try and keep your body warm (inc feet) and warm food helps as its better for circulation... tbh I'd take it all with a pinch of salt ☺️

@TheGirlWhoLived ahh sorry it looked negative definitely leave it a couple days if you can and test again x

@LittleRa you are staying super strong, if AF doesn't arrive on Tuesday/ Wednesday I'd definitely test 🤞

KRK05 · 31/05/2020 20:15

Well after a shitty mood all day, being in the garden with the family helped, plus a few slushy cocktails, my SIL even made a candy floss one which was amazing 🙌🏼 I'm currently all sunburnt though so gonna be a long night 🙈

Big congratulations @slimshadycousin amazing news 🥰

LV1987 · 31/05/2020 20:21

CD17 here, and FW starting tomorrow according to Femometer... But back to stark white OPKs after yesterday's v.faint line 🤷‍♀️ we squeezed in a morning bang anyway, before picking the children up from their mums for their next lockdown stint with us.

Keep your fingers crossed I actually get time for sex this FW! Last month, I ended up sleeping on the sofa on what turned out to be ovulation day as the eldest was upset to be going home 😅 might need some tips from those that have sprogs at home!

Sorry to hear about AF @Skip86, will you get another shot at June?

DKDK123 · 31/05/2020 20:36

@SmileyT my feet are always freezing I have bad circulation......thats it I'm going for the sexy socks on in bed look from now on 😂

Amy00 · 31/05/2020 20:39

I'm 9dpo and have weird cramps that don't feel the same as AF and I had the tiniest bit of spotting today which is unusual for me. Trying not to get my hopes up ... 🤞

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/05/2020 20:40

That's what I do @DKDK123 hubs actually likes it as I look "all cute" according to him. I wear those thick slipper sock ones in bed as I have perpetual cold feet!

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/05/2020 20:41

Eek @Amy00 sounds so promising!! Will you wait another couple days and then test early? Everything crossed for you!

Pixielou16 · 31/05/2020 20:44

@SmileyT Got the wooly socks on in 23c weather as we speak 😂 I need to get back on seed cycling now- I gave it a rest as I was starting to get sick of it. I've been using a cup too, clean up is so much easier. I've heard things about pomegranate juice so I'm trying that too!

Cocoblue22 · 31/05/2020 20:49

My feet are freezing too I’ve just put my bed socks on!

Had a nice Chinese tonight I was proper craving one and wolfed it despite having a huge Sunday lunch earlier (always eat more the day after drinking!)

Feel a bit deflated that I may not of ovd at all this month boo feel like we tried hard too but after 10 days of DTD every day we need a rest so going to every other day for the rest of this month to see what happens x

Bear127 · 31/05/2020 20:58

What foods does everyone much during the TWW? I’m so new to all of this 😂 I’ve heard of having pineapple but is it just the core or the fleshy bit? No harm in trying out a few things is there!

Katao · 31/05/2020 21:09

Oh wow @Amy00 that sounds really good! Fingers crossed.

I'm 10dpo and have mild af like cramps. If I was feeling more hopeful I'd think implantation but af came early last month at 12dpo so i have a bad feeling that might be moreso the case.

33Carr · 31/05/2020 21:17

I have SO MUCH to read and catch up on! Hope everyone has had a wonderful Sunday! I'm currently already in bed due to being slightly tipsy and emotional with a sunburnt nose! Whoopsy!

Amy00 · 31/05/2020 21:32

@notyetamumbuttrying @Katao not going to lie I'm totally testing tomorrow - kicking off June with a big fat test one way or the other! Fully aware it will still be early but feel like I've done well not to run and test this evening!

@Bear127 we've been really naughty and had back to back takeaways. Dominos followed by Indian. #noregrets
But also yes pineapple (apparently on an empty stomach is better), Brazil nuts (2 a day), and dark green leafy veg like kale and broccoli are all meant to be good at helping implantation.
