@DB20 sorry I can't see anything either I'm afraid, but def early days for a cheapie I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

Have you been testing everyday @katao? I literally don't have any urges to POAS currently, but with a very clear white FRER & I guess I was told I hadn't ovulated so it kinda takes the wondering out for me, I'm just trying to enjoy the banging 😂cos it's made us have more sex!!

@juno231 did you get a line at all then? I hadn't heard of CPs TIL MN, so naive 😖

@Catherinettc everything crossed then! Next week for more BFPs xxx

Minster2012 · 10/07/2020 11:47

@Blodyn91 Damn no Oreo choc here. Written all points. Thank you 😂✅

LittleRa · 10/07/2020 11:57

@Franklydear @Mococo1 @Vil10 @2alreadywantanother @Katao @LBee2020 @2020mission @notyetamumbuttrying @Catherinettc Thank you all so much ☺️

@Catherinettc yes I remember we had both cone off cerelle around the same time! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

For those asking this was my second cycle off the pill, long cycles of 34-37 days. I’m 14dpo today, based on my app (P.C. Period Calculator), I hadn’t used any OPKs yet. I’ve been taking the pregnacare conceive pills and DP been taking the men’s ones! Got the double pack the the women’s and men’s. I drank grapefruit juice (Tropicana golden grapefruit and pink grapefruit) during first part of cycle before ov and ate pumpkin seeds (couldn’t get any flax seeds!) and then after ov I drank pomegranate juice (POM brand, the bobbly bottle) and ate sunflower and sesame seeds. We pretty much did SMEP but pushed back a little due to long cycle- DTD every other day in the lead up then every day in FW. Did a few varieties of times of day, morning/evening. I did eat chocolate and also drank frozen margaritas with my sister around the end of FW! I’ve also had a couple of baths (not too hot) which I was scared to do the first cycle. Oh, we used preseed lube this cycle. I didn’t particularly notice any cervical mucus of any note so I’m guessing that maybe helped too.

LittleRa · 10/07/2020 11:58

I’m meant to be doing some work (at home) but am too distracted.... 😂

Mococo1 · 10/07/2020 12:17

@smileyt thank you!

Maybe add in the following as well:

  • BBT tracking!
  • don't over exercise/drink too much caffeine/ smoke/drink excessively
-Losing weight always helps IF you are overweight 😩 -PMS/Early Pregnancy symptoms are the same and progesterone likes to trick us😩😩😩
  • as @blodyn91 said wine Oreo, pouffe, sofa sex and pizza are all essential! Apparently Mac Donald's chips are eaten after ivf transfer as sodium helps implantation so everyone get some chips at around 5/6dpo!
  • CM should be nice and stretchy but u will find this difficult as semen seems the same 😂
2alreadywantanother · 10/07/2020 12:37

Af still hasnt surfaced buy have spotting/staining on wipe. Wish it would just get here already and I can start on CD1. It will prob be full force tonight while I'm in my sisters bed (staying over babysitting) 😂😂 then sat night shes keeping my 2 while I drink the head off myself 😂😂 I might even get pizza over the wkend lol
Got the ass juice but not trying until next wk. No point when af isnt when here. Need to take some time out from DTD 😂 dh said what evers foung on he loves it pmsl. I'm bucked lol
This morning was the 1st I had a decent lie in. Not awake cock crowe and mind in over drive.

Katao · 10/07/2020 12:51

Don't worry @lucyrp I'm sure we will bothget there in the end!
@Minster2012 i did frers cd30, 31 and 35 (not even dealing in dpo anymore because I clearly didn't ov when I thought or maybe at all!) And a few cheapies in and out between to quench the urge to poas so not every day but too often 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 10/07/2020 12:54

@2020mission you sound like me every month, trying something new in hoping that it makes all the difference! You could try 2/3 Brazil nuts in tww. After ov and until af shows. Something in them is meant to help with implantation. It's good Dh stays positive, mine started getting down after month 9. I'm on the coQ10 and EPO! Plus a number of others cos why not 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm at the "will try anything now stage"

Skip86 · 10/07/2020 13:03

@Mococo1 @blodyn91
Love the list!! As @SmileyT said this should be the bible for all TTCers 🙌🏼

@LittleRa oooh yayyyy!! Huge congrats!! Great news 🥳

Thanks for thinking of me @Minster2012 🥰 I was awol today because of my usual crazy Friday long drive then working on the house (instead of cleaning pigeon shit from the roof space, today I cleaned out 2 cubic metres of rubbish from UNDER the house. Not fun)
I also had to don gloves and bag and bin a dead pigeon from a wall cavity 🤢🤢 sorry to the animal lovers out there 😬 they are an introduced species here and classed as feral pests ("rats of the sky"). Still GROSS.

So no rest for me, but not much more cramping, and the very light bleeding slowed over a few hours and is now gone, so hoping that's a good sign. Thanks again to everyone for all the thoughts and love when I was stressing about it yesterday xx

Cocoblue22 · 10/07/2020 13:27

@SmileyT glad you had a nice evening! I've got 4FRERs (that have just arrived even tho I ordered them on Monday) and 3 digitals haha! Gonna use the digitals every Tuesday for next three weeks and prob use FRERs up over the next week or so. I've booked an early scan at 7weeks at a private clinic x

@lucyrp I feel so frustrated for you I can't stop thinking about your situation x

@LittleRa how are you feeling? Has it sunk in? Have you worked out your dd yet? I'm 14dpo today so I bet if you'd tested on Monday you'd of got a line like I did haha x

@DB20 I don't think I can see anything but if I were you id try a FRER because ICs can be delayed in picking it up. Also sometimes you can't see it on a photo and can in real life so could be that x

@2020mission it's normal to feel fed up sometimes but you will soon have babies to fill that nice new house don't worry and moving to a new house itself is so exciting so you should still go for it x

@blodyn91 love that coronacoaster post that has been my life for the last four months haha!! I did always wait till after lunch to crack open the gin however 🤣 x

Minster2012 · 10/07/2020 13:35

So pleased you are ok, where's the helicopter when you need it @Skip86 and they aren't an introduced species here but I still class them as rats of the sky tbh, but quite tasty, I make a mean pigeon fajitas 😂, you really did buy a cracking house there! What's your snack of choice today 🤔

I'm feeling pretty meh today & I've just been for a dog walk & thought "oh I'll pop into that farm shop on my way back, get a sandwich & cake" thought, oh well they let dogs here so I might as well sit outside here & eat, before ordering a family acquaintance arrived & so joined me & ended up ordering & not letting me pay...That's all v lovely you say, except only had a sandwich, AND I DESPERATELY wanted cake. At home now, covering one of @Franklydear's cakes thinking I'm very selfish & twattish. Humph.

You know when you are just in one of those moods. 😬😳🤦🏼‍♀️

Must get some work & cleaning done this afternoon. All I want to do is binge watch Glow up series 2. FFS.

LittleRa · 10/07/2020 13:55

@Cocoblue22 Still just letting it all sink in! I’ve told DP, my sister, my mum and my best friend lol. Obviously with the caveat that it’s very early. I think due date looks like 19th March 2021! I’ve downloaded the What to Expect app I had when pg with my DD.

LV1987 · 10/07/2020 14:08

Eurgh, today is my turn for my Facebook feed to be full of pregnancy announcements from people I don't like... Just makes me feel so deflated, which is completely irrational because for all I know, they have had a super tough time. I want to be kind, but I just feel like a big ball of rage today and I don't even know what frigging hormone to blame it on!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr 😤🤬

notyetamumbuttrying · 10/07/2020 14:18

@LittleRa that's my bday!! You're due day before @SmileyT! ☺️
@LV1987 ah I know the feeling! Rage away lovely, we all feel your pain! Whereabouts are you in your cycle?

Mococo1 · 10/07/2020 14:31

@lv1987 we all have these days!!! Sending you a hug lovely x

Also ladies why am I cramping at 2DPO bloody hell this TWW is gna be awful isn't it 🤣 just tell me I'm not pregnant so I can DTD without fear of knocking an implanting baby! Progesterone came today so morning and night il be putting on a pump and hoping this is the key to preventing a future MC

@skip86 really happy to hear the spotting has subsided , defo sounds like a good sign 🥰

SmileyT · 10/07/2020 14:36

@Skip86 glad to hear that little bean is being good and you were still able to head off for a cuppa with a great view and some Reno work 😂 what will your Dr do at the first appt? Guess it's different to hear in the UK x

@Cocoblue22 I think I'll end up getting a scan at 6w4 and 8w4 as I had two early scans with HBs last time and I'll be a nervous wreck around the 8w mark when I MC last time 😭

@Minster2012 not selfish or twattish sometimes you just need cake and nobody wants to order extras when somebody else is paying 😤 what plans have you got this weekend? x

@LittleRa all my apps are coming up slightly differently depending on where I look for due date but I'm around the 18th-20th March just one day ahead at 4w1day or 15dpo. Ahh I've not told anyone but tempted to tell my little sister x

@Mococo1 we DTD 6 times in TWW and touch wood hasn't knocked it out yet, although I did try not to orgasm as hard 😬 really hope you have a super sticky bean getting ready to implant in there x

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 10/07/2020 14:51

Thank you @SmileyT feel less twattish now, we'll, about that. Bit more twattish cos apparently I hoover too hard FFS. Seriously???

Sex Toy or a dog toy!? JBB #bus11
Cocoblue22 · 10/07/2020 14:51

@SmileyT your dd should be the same on them all as it's from the first day of period? Mines 16th March. I think it's normal to be nervous anyway but I understand that must be heightened if you've been through a loss previously. I've booked mine for 7w1d x

@LittleRa I hadn't heard of that app just downloaded it. I have the babycenter, emmas diary and bounty ones too! You get some free stuff with them....I'm always a fan of a freebie! X

Cocoblue22 · 10/07/2020 14:54

@Minster2012 what has happened thats?!? 🤣 did you take your cake rage out on the socket?!? X

Minster2012 · 10/07/2020 14:56

I just hoovered @Cocoblue22 I mean, maybe it went all brittle cos it doesn't happen often enough upstairs??

Minster2012 · 10/07/2020 14:57

The plug pulled the socket apart, I mean the house was only converted in 2017 for gods sake @Cocoblue22 😳🤔😂

Skip86 · 10/07/2020 14:58

Thanks gals ☺️

@Minster2012 yep this house is a real doozy. And funny you should say about pigeons being tasty... my carpenter said today that if the dumb evicted pigeons keep hanging out on the roof he could bring a cage and catch them, then sell them to the local Fijian guy who cooks them up 😕
Snack of choice today: family bag of cheese supreme Doritos, one bite of boost bar, one bite of cherry ripe bar, one bite of Turkish delight #varietyanxiety.
You're totally allowed to be twattish over cake. As a fellow cake obsessee I completely understand and fully support your need to leave the house right now to get cake. Like now. Go.

@LV1987 rage away babe, and blame all the hormones because after all, they are all arseholes.

@SmileyT the gp apt is pretty much just to get a referral for the obstetrician and standard bloods. I think our system is really different to yours though? Because I have private health I choose an OB (I see a specialist pre term birth prevention one) and am then under her care for the full term of the pregnancy. But you need a gp referral anyway. It's all a bit complicated, and EXPENSIVE.

Cocoblue22 · 10/07/2020 15:15

@Minster2012 haha mine would deffo break upstairs in that case! 🤣 x

@Skip86 you need a rest now woman I don't know how you do all that Reno work on your own! X

blodyn91 · 10/07/2020 15:26

@Minster2012 Think I would have said 'ill get the cake' 🙈 or sneak back in to grab one to go. Going down to the Cotswold tomorrow to meet up with two friends for a bike ride, very excited for coffee and cake stop

SmileyT · 10/07/2020 15:46

@Cocoblue22 yeah was working from LMP but depends on cycle length if you use NHS site and then some work from ovulation date, doesn't really matter as they'll date it anyway ☺️ I'm feeling great right now just hope this lasts. You been feeling any different yet? xx

@Minster2012 haha sorry this happened but actually made me laugh out loud at my desk, definitely something I would do 😂

@Skip86 one good thing about the UK we get most healthcare for free, but probably not as high a standard, so hope they look after our little Skip... how many more weekends do you have at the house? xx
