Have you seen our guide to getting pregnant?🤣

  1. Lots of sex (every other day to catch) or SMEP or just Banging OH to death seems to work for some - For the same sex couples out there; Insemination using a cup (easily available on Amazon) Bum up after the goods are deposited... don’t leave it in the cup for ages before you put it in ✌🏾
  1. Relaxing & lots of patience
  1. Prenatal vitamins e.g Pregnacare, COQ10, Primrose oil, B6, B12, Calc Flour, Folic acid/Folate, Magnesium, Vit C (will have to do your research on amounts/when to take these)
  1. Conceive plus/preseed - if you haven’t had enough assfruit juice and you aren’t moister than an 🦪 💦
  1. Seed cycling - make sure you ground them up
  1. Grapefruit juice (ass juice) for EWCM - CM should be stretchy sometimes hard to tell the difference between cum if you get loads of action.

7.OPKS/CB Digital ovulation kits 😂 A lot of us seem to like fermometer to record the OPK peaks

  1. It will happen when it's meant to but not necessarily the month you want it to 😩

9.Wine, pizza, oreo choc and pouffe sex

10.Relax, dont be stressed, take bbt, dont take bbt, dont obsess, obsess, exercise, don't exercise too much, loose weight, don't loose too much weight, eat healthy, don't let it consume you and eat what you want apart from too much alcohol, caffeine, cigs obvs

11.PMS/ early pregnancy symptoms are the same and the progesterone likes to trick you.

And most of all it isn’t your fault, blame corona for all BFN

@2020mission I’m also 32 TTC number 1 :)
We are not even married. We have been together for almost 6 years and bought our first house together 2 years ago. My priority has been having loads of fun and my career and now we feel like we’re ready!

I am testing on Thursday morning and am very nervous!! If it was for me I would have already tested by my partner is stopping me from it... it’s too difficult! Last month I didn’t get to test as AF was super punctual

SmileyT · 14/07/2020 17:37

@Skip86 I knew you'd be doing legendary things during the week aswell but now I can picture it👌🏾 good luck with your Drs appt tomorrow/ today 🤔

@LV1987 yes to getting a blazing peak to confirm the static - last min July BFP incoming with all that sex 👌🏾

@Catherinettc did the FRER arrive? X

So late to the party but that post about couple trying with anal killed me 😂😂😂😂 @notyetamumbuttrying

@Noggiepie92 no experience with ovusense here but I've read good things x

@ruroo 👋 hi

@2020mission I'm 32 in September, I would've loved to have 3 kids by now but I believe things happen for a reason 🥳 my parents had been together 18years and had 3 kids by my age and retired around 50 when my sister finished uni so I just look at it as doing it the other way round ☺️

@LBee2020 I'm a PIAP (pee in a pot) girl 💁🏾‍♀️

You really are a fab bunch I'm never leaving 😘

@2020mission @SarahTTC2020 @Gadea - I'm 31 TTC number 1 Smile

@lbee2020 - I used a cleaned hummus tub. Cause I'm fancy like that. And dont trust myself not to pee on my hand...

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 17:39

@2020mission I'm older and trying for my first! I'm 34 and feel like a granny lol, for the first time ever! I have been one of those girls whose being enjoying her life with travelling, career, buying a flat, getting married and we did purposely wait. Wish I'd known I'd still be here 10 months later with no baby. Ah well, it's bound to happen soon isn't it. In the meantime I'm gonna enjoy feeling carefree, just not footloose 😂

Franklydear · 14/07/2020 17:39

@2020mission I was 32 when I had my ds, and life happened, and now here we are ttcing dc2, what book?

Franklydear · 14/07/2020 17:41

I pee in a pot the cupcake paper wrappers come, perfect size, too nervous to pee on the stick, missed it and ruined it

Newbie0818 · 14/07/2020 17:41

27 over here 🙋🏽‍♀️ always had 26 to start ttc in my head, and 28 by the time I have a child, so I really hope it happens soon 🙌🏼 my dad just asked me when he's going to be a grandad and I had to pretend like I don't want kids yet 😭

LBee2020 · 14/07/2020 17:42

@thedaydreambelievers you are fancy! Maybe I'll scour the fridge for some deli items that need eating up in anticipation. If only oreo chocolate came in tubs!

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 17:43

@2020mission I must add I was 33 when we first started trying and I thought I'd have given birth being 34. I've missed that boat now so I'll be 35 and giving birth now, never in my wildest dreams did I expect that!!
@SmileyT funny as fuck right 😂 so glad you're never leaving! 🤗
@ruroo @LBee2020 I've never peed in a pot, always onto the stick. You angle it down so that you won't pee on your hand, don't worry. You'll soon get the hang of it! 👍🏾

2020mission · 14/07/2020 17:47

@LBee2020 I always pee in a wee plastic container that came with the first pack of cheap test strips I bought on amazon. With my first ever FRER test I did pee directly on and it was fine. The one benefit of using a container to collect it is that you could dip 2 different tests, you can see how diluted or dark the urine looks before committing to the test and also you can guarantee enough is getting on the test.

2020mission · 14/07/2020 17:49

Thanks all for sharing your ages, it's nice to see we have a variety here. If it wasn't for the whole fertility decline then I wouldn't be bothered at all about my age, as it should always be when you are ready! I feel like if I have success, I might have to start trying for the second instantly 😂 we'll see how long it takes if we have success this year.

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 17:56

@2020mission me too! We'll have to go again almost instantly if it takes as long. I'll be 36 by then 😬

Minster2012 · 14/07/2020 17:56

@2020mission in theory not, I was 34 when we had DS, but his eggs were from when I was 32, he's about to turn 2 at the end of the month. But I'm the weird one here, had him via IVF to my vest mate as a surrogate so my eggs were from age 32 (when I was told my fertility was screwed) & here I am randomly TTC naturally (so yeah I know it's a lost cause but in lockdown why not eh?!) after a MC from our round of IVF to me in feb which was from eggs from when I was 33. WORK THAT SHIT OUT. So don't worry hun. I've had 7 years of Chemo in there to screw me over I'm sure you'll be fine long as you eat shit loads of Oreo choc right! 😘😂oh and don't just take it up the bum 🤣

We met when we were 29, after I had stage 3 skin cancer (so it had spread & if it came back was curtains for me) yet still had that conversation of "oh let's wait & get married first". So guess what happened, yeah it came back & spread further. So I don't blame ppl for waiting, that's what I did, but def don't blame ppl for thinking fuck it.

@SarahTTC2020 my DH ALWAYS moves over to my side for the wet patch. Hate it.

@LBee2020 if I dip or wee on stick I always end up wring on my hand. I must have shit aim. Worrying for someone with a shotgun licence and guns in the house 😳😬@SmileyT is doing herself a disservice, in lockdown she was weeing into a tic tac container whereas the rest of us were still trying to master a shot glass for OPKs 🤣

@TheDaydreamBelievers what's your dip of choice for the hummus...prior to OPK or FRER of course??!!

mumof23188 · 14/07/2020 17:58

32 here and TTC number 3!

lucyrp · 14/07/2020 18:06

@Vil10 I hope it's yours soon too !!

@blodyn91 omg he sounds like a right twatface as @Minster2012 would say! So glad you found your man 🥰

I'm sorry if I've missed replying to anyone as I've been busy at work so have kind of caught up. Doctor rang me just now and basically said the same as previous doctor although she did say she was happy to take bloods for my iron and numerous other things including my thyroid so I guess we're getting somewhere! Yay

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 18:08

Aww good to hear @lucyrp! Glad they're taking you seriously at last x

Vil10 · 14/07/2020 18:08

@blodyn91 aren't men twats!!! I was with one very similar to that before my OH now, and he was an absolute cretin! So glad you managed to find your soul mate now! Nobody deserves someone who treats them like that!

Vil10 · 14/07/2020 18:09

@lucyrp finally someone who's taking it further and getting you maybe some answers!!

LV1987 · 14/07/2020 18:14

@2020mission I'm 33 and trying for my #1 but OHs #3. Without meaning too, he's put a lot of pressure on me by telling me how easy him and his ex fell 🙄 6 months on and the only bump I've got is a food baby 😂

@SmileyT I really hope so! Although it seems that tonight, possibly the most important of all, is off the cards because he's on his period. Men!!!! I'm back down to zero line as of half hour ago, so hopefully little eggy has already popped out and is being greeted/attacked by a gazillion spermies from the last couple of nights 🤔

LittleRa · 14/07/2020 18:23

@Catherinettc How are you?

2020mission · 14/07/2020 18:26

@Minster2012 😯 I had no idea! Sorry to hear you had to go through all that but it really goes to show what you can achieve, I definitely won't be giving up now 💪🏼

You've all got me craving Oreo chocolate.
When I go shopping tomorrow I'm definitely getting some. I'm currently having what you all might agree is one of the most disappointing biscuits going. It's the only "sweet" treat I can find to have right now...

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 18:29

@LV1987 haha I have a food baby too! I'm finding I care less about my weight since ttc, weird right!
Yep let's hope your egg is getting covered in sperm! Mine too as ov day today too. Luckily we got the last shag in the morning so should be plenty there for the egg. She best pick one this time and give me a bloody bfp already 😂 getting bored of this now lol!

SmileyT · 14/07/2020 18:34

@2020mission yes I've already said I won't be going back on contraception, especially as BF can mess up ovulation, my nephews are 16months apart my brothers partner didn't even go back to work in between ✌🏾

@lucyrp ahh I'm glad they will at least take some bloods, that is progress x

@Minster2012 you're right I'm underselling myself I can pee in a tic tac box and that my friend is a skill that not many catch 😂

@LV1987 yeah all the stuff before ovulation is the substance after peak is just icing on the cake 👌🏾

@2020mission got to say I do love a rich tea, really can't go too wrong x

Can I join?

I'm not sure if I'm testing on the 20th or 27th. My cycles are currently a bit unpredictable!

They were always 28 days long and regular but I miscarried at 22 weeks in March and since then my cycles have been around 36 days long.

Second month of TTC

Thanks x

garagesale · 14/07/2020 18:47

Oh and p.s. I already have a 3 year old boy
