24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies

[Littlebee1990]

New thread for those who were on the May/June thread and didn’t get a BFP, think we’re up to 14 people with a BFP 😍

Anyone who will be testing on above dates welcome, I’ll create a list of usernames and testing date and we will then support each other through the TWW, symptom spotting brain ache and AF arriving or celebrating a BFP. Great if everyone could give a little info about them too!

I’m 30, boyfriend is 27. TTC #1 Cycle 3. Tried SMEP last month and using OPK’s. Not even a hint of pregnancy yet for me but hoping for some baby dust my way this month!

@littlebee - 2nd July

Got me peak thins morning CD16! Let the TWW start tomorrow 😖 how slow is this going to go🙈
Hey @Littlebee1990 ! Love that you were writing the list with your legs in the air😆 a girls Gota do what a girls Gota do right?!
This is C3 of properly tracking. I'm due AF on Father's Day which is Sunday 21st I think. I would be 12/13DPO then so think I might test that day if AF doesn't show up morning🤞🏻

Wow @Littlebee1990 that is quite a list, also very impressive with legs in the air!! You're gonna need a nice big rest 2dpo 😂 just wish we could fast forward a couple of weeks 😩

@Littlebee1990 I really should read the msg back before I press post! Bloody typo🙈
@sle0911 where are you in your cycle?

Morning ladies! Just caught up. Had an early night last night. Think I've exhausted myself trying to decide whether we are definitely in this month or not. 🤣 BUT Saturday night my husband came on to me and when I asked 'without condoms' he was like 'we've discussed this haven't we?' (Have we?! My husband has conversations in his own head and I have to guess what the fuck he wants 🤣) so we DTD CD6 I haven't explained to him that our changes are pretty slim to none with that one because he seemed so pleased with himself 🤣. We did have a chat yesterday though because when we conceived #1 we fell out a bit about him just wanting to see what happens and it only took 2 months to conceive but it only took that amount of time for me to turn crazy!! I honestly still don't know what happened because I wasn't doing OPK's that month and just using Ovia. We had a massive fall out because he 'had a cold' during our fertile window and we only had sex on like CD22 if I remember but I have a 2 year old now though so 🤷🏻‍♀️
Anyway, our conversation yesterday went from me, 'we don't have the time or energy to have sex every other day this time so I'll be tracking my ovulation' 🤣 He seemed to accept that and suggested we try to have sex every other day as well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Have a lovely week all 🍆 💦

And thanks for the list @Littlebee1990 👏🏻😬

Morning, my OPK today is still a flashing smiley face on clear blue digital this morning so that's the third day of it flashing now, hopefully it's going to stay static tomorrow 🤞🏼

@Chlo2701 I'm CD14 today, according to apps and (hopefully CM) I'm due to ov tomorrow - I haven't been tracking ov so no idea if that's actually accurate! I also had a chemical last month and used the first day of that bleed as CD1 so who knows what this month will bring 🤷🏼‍♀️ So il be joining you in the TWW! 🤞🏼

@sle0911 I always notice that the day I get me egg white clear mucus is the day I get my peak on Clearblue, so I reckon that is the day of ovulation. I got it this morning & got a peak on Clearblue this morning, but had ovulation pains late last night, so I think I ovulated last night or today, so I'm class in myself as 1DPO tomorrow 😁

Afternoon all, just spreading some positivity. Hope you are all staying sane on this journey, especially through TWW which I often find hard physchologically.

I'm really trying to be chill this month (doesnt come naturally!). Here are some things for chilling

I like reading these happy stories, maybe it shares some happiness around. spermmeetseggplan.com/smep-success/

Here are some nesting ospreys in Scotland, live cam with chicks I know its totally random, but is kind of like slow TV.

Just trying to think : our time will come to all of us, but also having the strength and patience to know it might not be this month.

Also, dont know about anyone else, but I know so much about my body and my mood swings that I never knew! For example, I get a headache roughly the same time every month !! Must be hormones or something. Thank you natural cycles

much baby dust to all xx

@chlo2701 hi again! Im sure we gad the same cycle last time too ha ha!
I had my peak yesterday and O pains last were quite intense last night... Just about managwd to dtd!
Will do another opk this afternoon to see how the lh surge is 👍

@VP91x @dizzypixie I know what you both mean. TWW has started for me and it's already driving me crazy.

@Rosesmum2018 glad OH is happy to DTD every other day. I just don't think men get it tbh!!

@Bubblegum20 eek keep testing!! Good luck.

@Florarenniemackintosh you're totally right. It will come to us we just need to trust the process!! Thanks for the positivity! I needed that today.

@Littlebee1990 thanks for the updated list! I'm counting down the days to AF.... really hope it doesn't. 🤞🏻

I've had the first of my blood tests back and everything was satisfactory. Expect I don't have any immunity against MMR (despite having all the immunisations as a child which is strange). 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I have to go and have the vaccine.

@Fran2020 I didn't have my MMR either 🤷🏼‍♀️ not sure why. Did the Doctors say that you had to have this prior to conceiving?

@MyGossip they have just booked me in for it next week. I think it's preferable to having it before pregnant.

@Fran2020 oh really? I'll give them a little call after AF is due just in case. I only found out I hadn't had it in September as my husband ended up catching mumps. Thanks for sharing. Really useful to know.

@MyGossip No problem. I haven't been told anything else from the doctors but from my own research...

If you get rubella during pregnancy, it's really not good for the baby.
After having the vaccines, you have to stop TTC for a month.
If known to be pregnant, you have to have the vaccinations after the child is born.

Glad to help

@MyGossip oh and also, I have read government papers saying that if you've had the vaccine then find out your pregnant, there is only a theoretical risk and it should be fine!

@Fran2020 honestly thank you, that info is really helpful. I do recall having rubella as a child so I'm hoping this might go in my favour and will double check with my mum. AF is due in 13 days so I'll definitely make a call to the Doctors.

This TTC is so much harder than I ever first thought... 🙈

@MyGossip no problem at all, I'm learning today too! It's weird as I had all the vaccines as a child but sometimes it seems that they don't work and give you immunity!
Definitely speak to the doctor! Good luck!

Oh yeah, it really is!!! 😩

Hi guys,

Can I join in this month too? I'm 28 and OH is 29, this will technically be second month trying for baby number 1. I got my highest peak on ovulation test yesterday according to the premom app and it was also high the day before. The test I took today was low so I will take another one later. We have DTD every day now since Thursday so we might do it once more today and then maybe in two days time as we need a break lol. Do you guys keep DTD after you get your high/peak using ovulation tests? I'm new to testing. AF due on June 22nd. Baby dust to you all.

@fran2020 glad your first lots of tests came back ok. Think they test all sorts like your thyroid, testerone, LH levels. I know the rubella test is always done before IVF as its bad if you get it in pregnancy so good that you're having it done.

Has your OH sorted out getting his spern checked as well?

Ive just tried a fertility massage on you tube felt a bit ridiculous and pointless but lots of people swear by them. Also doing a fertility yoga daily which is nice amd easy on you tube if anyone fancied the link

@littlebee1990 good luck with everyday we have only ever managed it when on holiday. Any other month we struggle with every other day then 2 days ina row at peak OPk xx

@Littlebee1990 id say put me down as af due monday 23rd, thanks 👍.
ive just done opk test for today and it seems to be coming down, so by that today is my day of ovulation (24hrs approx after peak) ... But last night the ovulation pains were very very intense so i would prob say i ov'd yesterday. Pains approx 6/7 after opk showed peak (ic).... I only done one opk yesterday and may have caught it right at the end of peak/just before O and could have been high all day.

Hi @Mamainmaking1 ! Baby dust right back at you and everyone else! I get what you mean about needing a break from DTD we've also been doing it everyday, I haven't peaked just yet though I've only had high readings, also today was the darkest it's been so far!

Hi, can I join?

I'm due on, on the 22nd June (although my flow is a but unpredictable, can be a day or two earlier or a day two later or bang on! There's no way of knowing which is annoying. This is our second month trying. I can't help but test every day in this two week wait so I'm trying my best to hold of till I'm due on.

Hope everyone is okay and staying positive 🤞🏼

@Whilstwewait Thank you! I'm relieved they've come back fine. But frustrated about needing more MMR vaccines when I had them as a child! Apparently after having them you need to wait a month before TTC again. 😩

Our doctor is off this week and he wants to speak to her to keep it all with the same person. So he will do it when she's back next week. Not sure where he will have to go to do that!!! I don't think he's looking forward to it!

How did you manage to do a fertility massage on YouTube?! Yes please send me the fertility yoga link as I wanted to start doing that. Thank you.
