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

@ltay2 normally around 30 says but last one was 33 but that could be down to watching for it 👀 or because I started ttc multivitamins

@lucyrp 😥 but I think ur making the right decision putting it out of sight for now. It just says when lie is darker you will ovulation in next 24/48 hrs

LaceyMermaid · 15/07/2020 10:38

I accidentally went above max line when dipping the first Grinso didn’t know if that was a false reading so redid it and the blank one was the redone one!
I work 8-4 and don’t get much chance for breaks (teacher) especially not long enough to test so I can’t do 2pm. I’ve been trying to do as many a day as I can to try to get a picture of what’s going on!
Thanks for your replies will keep doing it and see what happens!

LaceyMermaid · 15/07/2020 10:40

Yes I’m thinking nothing has happened yet with my cycle as there’s nothing really high there. Will try the paper behind thank you

LaceyMermaid · 15/07/2020 10:41

Yes I don’t think anything is really happening yet as there’s not much consistency

Cocoblue22 · 15/07/2020 10:42

Just having a mahoosive catch up as I was working lots yesterday!

@Mococo1 glad to hear you're on the Oreo choc 🤣 x

@notyetamumbuttrying that article 🤣 x

@Minster2012 I am also a fellow tea hater 👋🏻 but i like my meat cooked can't stand blood! So medium well is the least I would go but I usually have well done,....with loads of peppercorn sauce 🤤 x

@blodyn91 your lunch 👌🏻🤤 x

@clolo sorry to hear you're onto next cycle ☹️ I think it's good you're being proactive and tests is a good plan don't think I'd want to wait that long and if they say all is fine it's worth the money for the reassurance x

@2020mission sorry af got you 😢 and I don't think you've left it too late I was 29 when I conceived DS. I know lots of friends who are 31 32 33 conceiving DC #1 you might just have to have smaller age gaps but that's fine! Maybe don't go on hormonal contraceptives after no1 so it's quicker second time but just be careful you don't catch straight away they recommended I waited at least a full year before TTC to allow my body to heal so I went back on contraceptives but next time I won't x

@LBee2020 I find the pot peeing easier plus if the test didn't work or you want to use more than one brand you can x

@lucyrp glad they are going to do your bloods are you booked in now? X

@garagesale sorry to hear what you've been through that must of been horrific x

@KateColx eat it before during and after that's what I did 🤣 x

Good morning ladies I hope you are all good x

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 10:45

@blodyn91 yes me too ! Excited to get back in sync with you guys.

@Katao defo can't pee on too many sticks it's my fave hobby🤣😂

@2alreadywantanothe🥰🥰r

2020mission · 15/07/2020 11:01

@Cocoblue22 thanks! I've never been on a hormonal contraceptive in my life, always condoms. I think that's why it's been harder to accept months of fails. I was under the false impression that because I'd never taken any, I'd be able to conceive quicker.

I'm actually feeling really down this week. I'm not usually a crier but have cried over the last 3 days and I think I'm going to have to take a break from Mumsnet for my mental health. I don't think it's even so much not having a baby on the way, I'm just feeling like my body is a failure. It's horrible but seeing other people succeed is just depressing me right now, even though I should be feeling happy for everyone else. I'm going to try and stay off here until my period has at least ended and hopefully I'll snap out of this.

Thanks for all the support, hope you're all keeping well.

Ltay2 · 15/07/2020 11:02

@2alreadywantanother I would start testing on CD12 just to be sure! The benefit of cheapies is you can test whenever you like even if you feel it's too early as they're so cheap you don't feel like it's too much of a waste 😂

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 11:04

@2020mission what you're feeling is totally normal!! When everyone's posting their BFP of course I'm happy for them but I do get really down and depressed just like you're describing! Last night I went to bed so early and I was having such a horrible evening. I didn't even want to go to bed but couldn't think of anything that would make me feel any better. My OH best friend has just had a baby girl and they FaceTimed us to show us her and I couldn't even look at her. I feel you on the whole my body is a failure thing as I've never not had a period when not on contraception before I'm so regular but here I am on CD67 and here I am with nothing happening!

SmileyT · 15/07/2020 11:06

@garagesale thanks lovely, yeah I'm very excited as this is what we have been working towards but something is slightly different after the loss. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow so still a very long way to go 🤪 x

@Ltay2 whoop whoop to flashing 😃

@Vil10 I bought preseed but last month was the only time I didn't use it at all, the one day I'd actually prepped, DP was having none of it so just ended up basically scooping it out 🙈

@LV1987 yeah don't worry too much there will be loads swimming around in there and it only takes ☝️ x

@KateColx this sounds like a great plan of action 👌🏾

@mumof23188 get on amazon £13 for 4 FRERs and can get it delivered tomorrow 👌🏾

@lucyrp glad they have you in for next week at least you'll feel your getting somewhere with some results. Sad to put it in the attic but probably best not to be looking at it all the time 😕 x

@Juno231 well I'm not cancelling yet, I'll speak to the midwife when I have my first appt but unless she says it's high risk there I think I'll still go... 22weeks pregnant seems very far away at the moment though, so haven't really comprehended what that looks like x

@zippityzip sorry it was a negative but keep your head up x

@Katao I'm celebrating this AF and the start of a fresh new cycle 👌🏾 and hoping yours follows soon @Minster2012 so you can make that call x

@LaceyMermaid yeah I'd agree the one on 13th looks strong but it's hard to tell as the lighting is different in them all, also there is 2 on that day at the same time that look completely different is one in there by mistake? X

OP posts:
LaceyMermaid · 15/07/2020 11:08

@SmileyT I accidentally dipped it over the max line and it gave strong reading so I did another to check and that one was blank! So think over dipping gives false reading! Grin so think 13th is out

Minster2012 · 15/07/2020 11:10

@juno231 a villa on scilly sounds fab!! V jealous

@lucyrp next Tuesday??? WDF??

@Catherinettc how is being at the caravan?

@2alreadywamtanother get you with your moister than an oyster! You going for a water bed?!!

@Zippityzip you aren't out though TIL the witch arrives and it wasn't FMU??

@Gadea the first time we used the applicator & put like up to number 3 in god he was swimming around anyway as we tried to change positions so we learnt our lesson I've never tried to use an applicator twice though 😳

@katao could you try talk to your doc & get booked in for day 3 & day 21 bloods maybe?? And buy clear blue digitalis? I only ever got a flashing smile so I guess that showed I never ovulated

@lucyrp the sleepyhead will be waiting don't worry gorgeous it won't be long 💕

@LaceyMermaid you would normal have a withdrawal bleed I think but as long as you are DTD & if not 2pm then every 4 hours? regularly anyway then you are covered either way! And this is how most convos with my mates go too 😂

Another tea hater yasssss @Cocoblue22

I've just had a shouting rant at my mum after she said she doesnt think my & his GF & their baby should come up here to my DS's 2nd birthday in couple of weeks as too risky for them. We are having just some family who all know I'm high risk, outside. It's up to my brother & his GF I said surely. You can easily skirt around ppl the same as she does every F ING day in London?? She runs a cafe which she has reopened?? It's their choice. So now I bet she's gonna tell them not to come.

Vil10 · 15/07/2020 11:10

@2alreadywantanother @Juno231 I'm the same!! I get wet enough. It I always worry I don't have enough EWCM!!

@Gadea Thankyou!! I'll have a look into it!

@Mococo1 so do you have to put it in 15 mins before? Or is that just preference?x

@lucyrp ohhh that's so sad!! But you'll be able to get it back down soon when you get your little baby!!

@SmileyT Hahahaha scooping it out😂😂

2alreadywantanother · 15/07/2020 11:11

@Cocoblue22 & @minster2012 omg big tea hater here. Can touch wet teabags even. And love my meat well done.

@2020mission sending big hugs huni. Hope ur okay. Dont be so hard on yourself. It totally normal to feel that way.
Take some time away and focus of yourself. Treat yourself to something nice x

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 11:14

@Cocoblue22 yeah I am booked in but only for next Tuesday and I'm hoping AF will have actually come by then because if not il be CD73😭x

@SmileyT I thought it would have been today or tomorrow but clearly not and god help me if I get to next Tuesday on CD73. I will have missed a third of the bloody year! X

@Minster2012 I know right !! Next Tuesday will be day 73!!! Thanks I really hope so 🥰 tried talking to OH about it last night but he wasn't really up for talking but did cuddle me until I just had to go to bed. Hoping he'll be in more of a talking mood tonight although he always just says don't worry there's nothing we can do about it it will happen soon ☹️

mumof23188 · 15/07/2020 11:20

@SmileyT ahh I can’t do it. I’m to scared to test because it means it’s a definite no! Hope you are well ☺️

Minster2012 · 15/07/2020 11:23

Sorry @2020mission I missed your post, it's absolutely normal to feel that way, even the lovely ladies here who we all wish BFPs on, cos we love em' we still want our turn. Take some time out, cuddle up with OH & maybe snuggle up with him or go out & have a date night, get dolled up & remind yourself your body is fab maybe ask ppl around you to say why they think you are fabulous. I think with lockdown & us all slobbing about a bit too it's very easy to have got in a mental rut about a lot of things.

I think you are fabulous for being able to admit your inner most feelings to a group of strangers. That takes a lot of guts.

Loads of hugs your way hun xxxx💕😘

2020mission · 15/07/2020 11:25

You are all so kind, thanks for your replies 💕

I’ve just deleted all my pregnancy apps. I've collected all my OPKs, FRERs and pregnancy books and put them high up at the back of the wardrobe. Im going to try and forget about trying for a baby for the next week and just have a complete clean break. I will be back here before my next test date though and won’t be gone for long! Anyone else feeling as bad, this is all I can think of for me to try and help me feel better so might be worth trying something similar for a week or at least a few days.

Try and not post too much so I don't have loads to catch up with 😂

Cocoblue22 · 15/07/2020 11:29

@2020mission ah sorry didn't realise you hadn't been on hormonal contraceptives but I know a lot of ladies on here have. All I meant was if you're going to have them close together don't go on one in between I did as they recommended I do but I won't be next time I think I won't use them ever again now. How long have you been TTC? Your body is not a failure you will get there sorry to hear you're feeling so down big hugs and like @lucyrp it's totally normal to feel how you do and we all have felt like that at some point I really hope you feel better soon try to remember that you are fabulous and will be an amazing mummy and the best is still yet to come... xx

So glad I'm not the only tea hater and meat cremator on here! 🤣 x

@lucyrp rubbish you have to wait till Tuesday but better than nothing I guess hope you get some answers soon Ive never wished af to turn up for someone so much! Sorry you feel sad about putting sleepyhead away but you will get to get it out again soon I'm sure x

Missgoldilocks · 15/07/2020 11:37

Hey ladies!!! How are we all!?!?
Didn't take me long to find you all with the bants title!! Haha

Congratulations on the bfps!! 👏👏👏👏

Soo had a long break, in the 2ww wait again lol slowly starting to lose my mind AGAIN!

Update on this side, I had my tubes checked privately and all is clear!! My uterus is healthy and my ovaries growing nicely so that rules out any issues there which is a good thing but that means everything is healthy, my bloods my tubes my hormones and my OH sperm is all fine so it's literally a waiting game. Cycle 12 now and 3dpo, af/bfp due 26th July (had my tubes checked last week Thursday) they say you can be more fertile after and I'm super hoping it's true.

Missed you crazy guys but I needed that break from it all!!

@Minster2012 @SmileyT @Skip86 @notyetamumbuttrying @Vil10 how are you lovelies doing?? Sorry if I haven't tagged everyone that I have spoken with please drop me a message with an update ❤️❤️ xx

Missgoldilocks · 15/07/2020 11:39

@lucyrp hey there!! Sorry to hear you're feeling down 😔 what is happening with your af not coming, has it not come from when we last spoke? X

Cocoblue22 · 15/07/2020 11:45

@Missgoldilocks that's great about your test results do you feel relieved? How much did it cost you to get checked out in the end? Hopefully it will be your turn next x

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 12:03

@Cocoblue22 the thing that's annoying me is that these bloods aren't really going to tell me anything are they 😂 its just doing them for the sake of it to see if there is anything which there probably won't be. Xx

lucyrp · 15/07/2020 12:04

@Missgoldilocks that's so good about your results! Hope you've has a nice break! Nope it still hasn't come since we last spoke! CD67 here for me! X

Missgoldilocks · 15/07/2020 12:09

@lucyrp has this ever happened to you before?? Xx

@Cocoblue22 hey there! The sperm and bloods I did just before corona and was on nhs, the tubes and uterus Check was £600 including mini consultation in Harley Street.
I saw everything on screen, wasn't really painful a little uncomfortable but crampy afterwards. He showed me my csection scar that was fine there was no bad scar tissue and the ink went straight through my tubes and he said he didn't have to push hard to get it through! Great for peace of mind because I was so anxious about that but now I'm like omg I hope I'm not trying for years 😂 my OH has said he wants to do ivf if we don't get a bfp by January which would take us to nearly 2 years of trying. How are you?? Xx
