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

Omg @Minster2012 that's amazing 🤣🤣 and I thought I was the only one that played "avoid the wet patch!" I knew it must be a thing haha. Need to reinstate our sex rag.

SmileyT · 15/07/2020 07:41

@blodyn91 there are select places that will lend on land but not conventional mortgages and you sometimes you need experience renovating to get them (they are aimed more as developers) and tend to be much more expensive as they are much riskier, in case you run out of money while renovating etc. With a bog standard high street mortgage you will need the property to be habitable so kitchen and bathroom with running water but there are specialist lenders out there so definitely worth investigating if it could work for you. Most people will use the specialist lenders short term until they get the basic amenities in then move it across to a normal lender to reduce monthly cost. So nice to be able to start from scratch with a property though and if you can get the cash to do it then it'll be your perfect home as you design everything xx

Morning ladies!

@blodyn91 yes I believe so, has to gas some sort of kitchen & running water & bathroom facilities to get a mortgage you'd have to buy cash & get those up and running but @smileyT obviously best placed to comment. Sounds fab though & I totally believe you gotta pursue these things when you can especially with stables & land. We are viewing a house today and getting ours valued tomorrow just in case cos of the stamp duty thing etc. Will be interesting to know what ours is worth after we designed the interior ourselves & it's a bit quirky but we want a bit of land too for the dogs.

@katao still making moves away from the back of the bus?

Hey @Sausage1990 welcome back in and get you with your BOOM I'm back with my ewcm straight away! 😂🥰

@juno231, @smileyT @Newbie0818 magic (can I call it that??) def not dead here even with a toddler and we always play avoid the wet patch

I've popped my first pill to bring on AF...felt a bit sad really, did another cheap test just to make sure despite doing a number first but just gotta check 🤷‍♀️

Minster2012 · 15/07/2020 07:45

Snap @smileyT for @Blodyn91 but completely agree, we will only move out of our house for the right thing cos we designed all the interior and love it. Fucking stressful as hell though. 😂🤣

zippityzip · 15/07/2020 07:47

I'm 10DPO and desperate to test. Despite telling myself I was out this month. Despite telling myself I would wait for AF.
If I get a test today am I just torturing myself.

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 07:48

@Minster2012 @Katao noooo you're both leaving me at the back 😭

garagesale · 15/07/2020 07:48

@Minster2012 well thank you very much for welcoming me to the craziness! I'm pleased to hear it's brought you two a little closer too!

@Newbie0818 thank you, it's honestly the hardest thing in the world but we make sure we use his name every day as I'm very much of the believe that he is still my son regardless - my husband always said he only wanted to have 2DC and here we are trying for our 3rd, it's actually turned into a v strange joke as I always say "I knew I'd get 3DC from you!!"

@Katao thank you - I'm looking forward to coming on this journey with you all!

@SmileyT oh my gosh! Congratulations!! I'm also sorry to hear about your loss, I think the excitement is probably a very different type of excitement after a loss but I'm very happy for your all the same. How far do you think you are?

garagesale · 15/07/2020 07:48

P.s. morning everyone!

Ltay2 · 15/07/2020 08:00

Got my first flashing smiley face on CB today 🥳 just hope I actually manage to see a peak as never have on IC before 🤞🏼

Vil10 · 15/07/2020 08:03

Morning squad! CD10 here and going into FW on Friday!! Just wondering how many of you have used preseed or any other fertility lube?? And if it's worth using?

2alreadywantanother · 15/07/2020 08:04

@Newbie0818 & @Minster2012 the wet patch sure is a thing. I always try make sure it's on his side 😂 hes use to it now.

@zippityzip some do get squinter this early but personally I think leave a another 2 days if u can. Get low sensitivity ones. Like 10mlU .

Hey @sausage1990 Hows all. I'd love to be CD14 😂
Only CD4 and feels like its gona drag to fw.

@garagesale hey, welcome. So sorry to hear about your mc. We take for granted that once we pass the 12w mark its safe. I'd totally get where your coming from. Yes, 100% your son and love that you keep his memory alive 💕

@minster2012 today will be day 3 with the ass juice 🤮 there has to be an easier way 😂😂

2alreadywantanother · 15/07/2020 08:07

@Ltay2 yeah, heres hoping for u. I have IC here. When should I start using? Never used b4

@Vil10 I was just wondering the same thing. Can DH feel it does anyone know?

LV1987 · 15/07/2020 08:11

Morning ladies! CD28 here and we didn't manage to DTD on peka day yesterday 😑 as I mentioned, OH seemed to be on his period, but when he got home and explained the day he'd had it was completely justifiable! I will see how he's feeling after work today (femometer is actually saying OV day is today) but if not, we might just have to go without the icing on the cake to coin @SmileyT'S phrase!

KateColx · 15/07/2020 08:17

Morning girls 💖

@Ltay2 yaayyy to flashing smiley!! Now the fun starts 😂☺️

@Vil10 I started using preseed last month but to be honest I only remembered to actually use it one time haha. It was really easy though, it comes with applicators etc and you can do it discreetly about 10 mins or so before so it doesn't ruin the moment. I didn't even tell OH about it before hand and he couldn't tell ☺️ no idea if it actually helps but it has good reviews online and thought it wouldn't hurt to try x

CD10 here and another ⭕️ on CB this morning but I've decided to propose the idea of DTD every day for the next 3 days as OV is predicted for Saturday / Sunday but we're out (separately) on Saturday. So 3 days and then a bonus on Sunday 🤞🏻

Back at the laptop for me after 5 days off 😩 x

AKcheer · 15/07/2020 08:28

Morning everyone! Hope everyone has a great day!

@LV1987 oh no hate the fact that they also get periods!! Aww good luck!! Fingers crossed for you!!

@Vil10 I’ve got conceive plus. I used it once and hubby didn’t say it was any different or anything! I just got it off amazon!

@KateColx Ohhh good idea!! That will cover all of your field!!

Sausage1990 · 15/07/2020 08:33

Haha @minster2012 well it may not be the right time yet but with the ewcm I certainly wasn't going to risk it and miss the opportunity 😉

Awww I feel you @2alreadywantanother. Tbh that's why I tend to go MIA for about a week ish from af and sometimes during the 1st week of the TWW... I just find stepping away from the thread & not focusing on where I am in my cycle makes time go a bit faster.
But I'm doing okay, thanks for asking. Started back taking pregnacare conception tablets this cycle. I stopped because I thought it was making my cycles longer but actually that as stress related so I've gone back to them PLUS I realised they have pretty much all then nutrient supplementation I was looking into except for the high vitamin C... So in also take an extra 500mg vitamin C on top of the 90mg in the pregnacare. It's not quite 750mg in the study I looked at but it's close enough.
How are things with you @2alreadywantanother?

Bless you @lucyrp I know how long cycles feel (my longest was 69days) and its awful. I actually managed to get blood tests & a scan to check my ovaries on the back of that very long cycle.... So I'm glad they're going to get some bloods done. Hopefully a step in the right direction for you 🤞🏻

blodyn91 · 15/07/2020 08:37

@SmileyT @Minster2012 thanks, have read a lot about mortages this morning on renovating projects so sort of got my head around it. Did you move in with in laws Minster? or have a caravan on site? Going to call to enquire today as no price up on individual lots just the whole estate, as much as I would live to buy the whole farm, 4 million is a bit off budget 😆🙈
Aww exciting that you have a viewing! Has this one been renovated already?

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 08:40

@Sausage1990 I'm currently CD67 but can't see anything happening anytime soon. In my head I've already imagined what being CD90 is going to feel like after missing out on 3 cycles 😫

mumof23188 · 15/07/2020 08:41

Morning everyone! Another squinter on an IC today. Toying with the idea of going out to get a FRER but I’ve probably just got line eyes and will waste 11 quid 😩

@garagesale I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. I can’t even begin to imagine what you went through ❤️

@Katao how are you today?

Minster2012 · 15/07/2020 08:52

@Zippityzip if you don't buy today then maybe buy tomorrow 🤞🏻💕😬everything crossed for you lovely we know how hard it is don't worry 🤣

@Lucyrp do t worry my journey will be A LOOOOOONGGGG time so I'm still with ya babe, though having said that I don't know if it's the first pill or what but guess what, I pop one pill (it's meant to be 5 days of 3 x pills a day) & hella cramping already and already started vaguely wiping a tiny bit of blood so it's starting already 🤷‍♀️

@Garagesale you sound like you guys have got it perfect with your strange joke 🥰

@Ltay2 yay on flashing, the other ladies know more, I never got a static just millions of flashing but we all know why for me😂😳

@vil10 we use preseed, that was the lube he was referring too, we will use it as a "normal lube" now, not always use the applicator cos you can drown in the stuff like last night just use it like a normal lube really but it's good stuff

@2alreadywamtanother I actually don't mind the ass fruit, try pomegranate juice with it, ass fruit juice plus ass fruit juice makes it nicer! 🤷‍♀️and most ppl start using the ICs around day 8 or so from 11am or 12pm then one later...@blodyn91 is good with them?

@blodyn91 ours was a bit different, we bought a finished "barn conversion" as a house from a builder, so the builder was buying the barns from a local estate who were selling them as a barn with planning permission already in place to the builder (who is well known here & a customer of my DH) & we put a deposit down on the finished property at a preagreed price (which we then added more to up spec the interior) So we were in a 2 up 2 down cottage, which we sold before completion & moved into in laws yes for the last 4 months as our cottage sold quicker than we thought, but only had to put down the deposit initially & we then changed 3 windows including a gable end, and chose absolutely everything, did all electrics, including using the old barn doors as our interior doors so they are all wonky & weird sizes.

Juno231 · 15/07/2020 08:55

@vil10 @2alreadywantanother I've used preseed and apply it before DTD so OH is oblivious. I think the recommended amount per the instructions is a bit much though so never use more than 2ml lest my moister than oyster turns into the ocean!

I stopped using it the last few cycles though after upping my evening primrose oil, grapefruit juice and omega 3 really worked on my EWCM, making pre-seed redundant.

Minster2012 · 15/07/2020 08:56

And yes @Blodyn91 this one today is just a bigger "done" barn in a different village with big garden but none or our lovely beams. But on its own plot whereas we are overlooked by a bigger barn next door. But not as good a village as ours. But I know the feeling, we know there's a big house coming onto the market in our village soon with a paddock so we want to know just in case...but that would be the "forever home" IF we could ever afford it. And we keep saying IF we don't have another child it's not worth it really 😔

zippityzip · 15/07/2020 08:57

@Minster2012 I'm already thinking that today may be a waste of time as it's not FMU so will try and hold out.

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 09:00

@Minster2012 I rang to book my blood tests this morning and the earliest they offered me was in 3 weeks time 😂 so I had to explain thag actually I need it done sooner because it's to see what's going on this cycle and by then I'm hoping il be in a new cycle 😂 but I still have to wait until next Tuesday for these blood tests so I'm still hoping something will have happened by then 🙈 I'm not looking forward to cramps I've completely forgotten what they feel like as I haven't had them for 60 odd days 😂 fingers crossed it starts soon for you!

Vil10 · 15/07/2020 09:01

@KateColx maybe I should try it!! I can't see it doing any harm, might as well try! "Puts in amazon prime basket" x
