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

@Minster2012 ahh what a chilling dog. Having a great time ain't he! 🐶 I want one but can't in a flat really. Need this house move ASAP!

Juno231 · 14/07/2020 20:57

@SmileyT I thought it was more like £1500 for ONE kid in London??

@LV1987 I check the due date for my imaginary babies every cycle 😂.

SmileyT · 14/07/2020 20:59

@garagesale I think regular sex without tracking too much works great for some couples, my OH works 12hr shifts either 7am-7pm or 7pm-7am so I definitely had to check his schedule and my ovulation as sometimes we go days without seeing eachother 🙈 and honestly even the women that think they know their bodies learn something new when ttc x

@Minster2012 saved that test face image as it actually makes me smile so much 😂 and also it's impossible when somebody posts a pic not to wonder what their house and life is like behind the screen (or just me being a nosey Parker)

@KateColx I'm a big believer in focussing on the days before peak so I'd say get it in over the next few days and then maybe a cheeky hangover bang on Sunday for good luck if you get your peak Saturday. I think if you ovulate Sunday... Friday night is a must have 👌🏾

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I know and she is a legend I love her ❤️ I'm actually planning on looking for another job on mat leave 👀 already checked policy and they don't ask for anything back if you don't return ✌🏾

@KateColx I'm CD10 with Ov predicted for Monday and we're going with every other day from tomorrow!

garagesale · 14/07/2020 21:17

@SmileyT thanks! You're completely right, what works for one couple won't work for another. I think if I start tracking, I'll start obsessing more and I don't really want to put that pressure on myself (despite deep down being totally obsessed secretly to myself!)

It's actually working out great as I feel like we have a bit of excitement back - we're having so much more sex and it's made me feel closer to him than I have in a long time. We're like a giggly pair of kids Blush

It must be hard having to work around shifts etc. How do you manage that whilst trying to fit TTC in?

Ahhhh I feel so welcome on this thread already!! X

DKDK123 · 14/07/2020 21:18

Am I being dippy, how do you post on the app? I just tried to post my snaccident on there and its not showing. Click the plus, click reply type your message and hit the paper plane at the top to send? Also couldn't tag on the app, no names come up when I type the @ button like it does on the browser. I thought everyone found the app easier, so feeling rather dense I cant work it out 😂

blodyn91 · 14/07/2020 21:29

@DKDK123 I had the same issue and gave up 😆

Minster2012 · 14/07/2020 21:32

@Thedaydreambelievers salt n pepper kettle chips good choice!

@Notyetamumbuttrying I know right he couldn't be more chilled if he tried, if he were an ACTUAL human bloke he'd have his hand down his pants deffo 😉

@juno231 was it you that had an interview for a new job like a bazillion threads ago 🧐who was that?? How did that go?? Why did we not follow that up??! So many questions

@smileyT we are all curtain twitchers don't worry

@garagesale Dh & I have been enjoying it more TTC since being on here, a few threads ago the chat got really horny & I wanted to jump his bones constantly & yet I knew I'm basically infertile we were enjoying it so have fun & go with it!! 🥰😋we'll try keep you sane for those annoying awkward & down bits & go with the ride (so to speak) for the rest 🚌

@DKDK123 my app didn't work great to start with & often now I actually type lots of ppls names still. I press "reply" then start typing but if I want to check who said what I click the "x" at the top & it goes out but still keeps your reply (but then often means it bolds, sorry bout that) then I do @ & brings up some names not a lot 🤷‍♀️but it's the clicking in and out I like. Then "post"

Newbie0818 · 14/07/2020 21:38

So sorry about your MC @garagesale what an awful thing to have to go through 💔

Vil10 · 14/07/2020 21:39

@KateColx Hahahhaa I said the same thing, I was like "is that really what I look like" 😂😂

@Minster2012 oh don't worry it was the least sexy thing I've ever watched😂😂

Katao · 14/07/2020 21:40

@Minster2012 I was mostly eyeing up your pikler triangle, would you recommend?
@garagesale welcome and sorry to hear about your loss. lovely to hear ttc is bringing you and OH closer, how sweet 💘
@lucyrp good you are getting bloods done, hopefully that answers some questions.

Cd42 and finally something happening. Teeny tiny bit of spotting. Nothing to get worked up about but I'll take anything at this stage seen as I'm 2 weeks late! 😂

KateColx · 14/07/2020 21:44

@SmileyT thanks lovely, we've defo not done lots of sex before peak very well so far, so let's hope it does the trick 🤞🏻 when do I eat the Oreo choc? Before during or after? 🤪 x

@notyetamumbuttrying aw it's so hard isn't it!! You understand why people want to say it because they're so excited but inside you're just like oh god another one 😩😂 yeah I know what you mean on pressure, only w couple of my friends know but I feel like when I speak to them it's like they're waiting for me to say something. X

@Ltay2 okay I think Im going to try and start tonight, see how we go 😬 I have it be careful because OH finds the whole planned thing a turn off so I have to ease into it 😂😂 x

Juno231 · 14/07/2020 21:49

@minster2012 yes it was! Well remembered - was it the chat of mat leave that reminded you? Believe it or not they're still interviewing for round one and won't let me know until that's concluded 😂. My recruiter seems to think they've changed the brief and are now looking for people with 15+ years experience so I think I'm out of the running! Shame cause it would have meant a nice bump up in pay and a better role 🤷‍♀️.

SmileyT · 14/07/2020 21:49

@DKDK123 so on the app it only comes up with your most recent tagged I think 🤔 if I click @ it comes up with everyone's names and then to add a pic yeah press the reply then paperclip then the plus button and then either take a pic or click on the bit above the circle (just looks like a black space) and it'll come up with your camera rollafter about 10 seconds. I've never used the web version so not sure how it compares 🤷🏾‍♀️

@garagesale well there was a lot of tears and stressful days but what actually worked best in the end for us was me telling him the key week and him initiating as that is more 'normal' for us so didn't feel as forced. If you're enjoying it at the moment and having sex regularly then their may be no point adding stress to it. Btw I got my BFP last week but I just hang out here because I like it and after a MC in March I'm not counting my chickens just yet 😕

@KateColx oreo choc to keep energy up during fertile week and then after ovulation to help with implantation (not based on medical facts but I believe this all to be true) 😉

OP posts:
Ltay2 · 14/07/2020 21:58

Defo adding Oreo choc to my 'implantation' shopping list (along with pineapple) this time 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/07/2020 22:06

@SmileyT that's a result then! You'll prob end up working at my hubby's place 😂
@Minster2012 haha 🤣 for sure!
@KateColx exactly the same as me and I so desperately want to say but I've said enough to ppl now and it's getting embarrassing when I have to say, nope not yet, still trying 😫
@Ltay2 you won't regret it 😏

Katao · 14/07/2020 22:07

@DKDK123 have all the same problems with the app. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still the same 😪 i read on the app and reply in browser 🤷‍♀️

Minster2012 · 14/07/2020 22:17

@vil10 yes I spend half the time when watching porn either comparing me to them out loud or in my head so I can imagine what doing "real life porn" would be like 🤔

@Katao spotting, half yay?!! I think!! The pikler, if you were buying a proper one then no. My dad made that for DS for his first birthday, following YouTube videos. It cost about £30 and obviously not CE tested but is spaced out in line with others & supervised at all times. Not the stupid amounts the real ones cost but very good. He uses it a fair bit (likes to watch tv balanced on it now!) but I'm pleased we didn't pay what they cost, it might get used more as a den now he's older. DH & I bought him a bug rocker from toys by nature for his first birthday, that has been used nearly every day since then. He loves it

@juno231 yes it was the mat leave that reminded me. Damn them that's rubbish for you

Katao · 14/07/2020 22:35

@Minster2012 ya people seem to be mad about them but i do think they can't be worth the money. I think you have the right idea there. The bug rocker andvthe likes always make me nervous about trapped fingers. I'm a bit risk averse 😬

Minster2012 · 14/07/2020 23:04

Nope not worth it IMO @Katao but my friend loves theirs 🤷‍♀️.we love the bug tho, no trapped fingers yet & I must admit to lying in it & rocking having a sneaky cocktail sometimes it's v relaxing 😂 they've gone up by £30 cheeky buggers

So ladies the same romantic DH that bought me sexy undies for my birthday on Saturday & also penned me a love letter for valentines has excelled himself tonight. What could he do you ask yourselves....🤔fancying a bit of action as I got undressed to get into bed the ol' romantic says...

"Leave your knickers off, spread em & pass the lube love, tonight's not the night for foreplay"

Ahhhh what a charmer eh?! But said with a wink & sometimes only a quickie will hit the spot 😉

Now to play "avoid the wet patch" whilst going to sleep, sweet dreams ladies....or daytime Skip!

Sausage1990 · 15/07/2020 00:20

Wow ladies... I take a week off while I ride out AF and chill a bit before the opk test recommence and you've not only moved to a new thread but are already 14 pages in!!!!

@SmileyT Congratulations on your BFP I was so so so thrilled for you when I saw! And a bug congrats to all the other BFPs I've missed.

An update from me - currently cd13 (it's actually really late and just tipped into tomorrow haha so by the time you read this will be cd14), had come ewcm today which is unexpected as my cycles are usually long. My opk is still negative but decided to start DTD anyway just incase.

Hello to any new ladies who've joined us 👋🏻 I dip in an out if the chats but I always try to catch up best I can!

SmileyT · 15/07/2020 07:07

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm actually not sure I want to stay in mortgages, but I'm thinking a year off to think is a good time to work our what I really want to do and explore loads of options ☺️

@Katao is your body playing ball this morning? Are you leaving the girls at the back of the bus? x

@Minster2012 I get trying to read what DH said as a little limerick before realising that's not what it was 😂😂😂 - well you can definitely say the magic has not dwindled in your relationship, I love it 🥰

@Sausage1990 thanks lovely... and great news on EWCM and ovulation maybe moving forward 🤞 xx

Have a great day squad ✌🏾

@minster2012 I WISH my oh would say things like that to me 😂

blodyn91 · 15/07/2020 07:26

can I ask a totally ttc unrelated question..... I've come across a block of stables for sale with planning permission and land! Is it possible to get a mortgage on such thing and live in a caravan/OH mum whilst renovating? (Will do my research now- but have read in the past that a house must be livable in for a mortgage, so wondered if we needed a loan first). Just gone up for sale yesterday 😬😬
