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

Oooo & @Newbie0818 def not too late for DTD later today, OV often happens the day after ewcm I thought or even day after that so could be perfect!

Ltay2 · 19/07/2020 10:02

@Newbie0818 Ah exciting!! I definitely think tonight will be fine! EWCM means it's a fertile day not necessarily that you're ovulating that exact day so you've got a very good chance!

@Minster2012 That's good 😂 just reminded me of a story my dad told me once of someone he knew cycling to the pub, he could hardly walk when he got out he was so drunk but he attempted to cycle home anyway (small village so not a huge distance although still a silly idea) and was found a short way down the road in a heap and covered in grazes 🙈 he was ok in the end though so now just a funny/stupid story!

Franklydear · 19/07/2020 10:45

@KateColx same here, it's the pressure, funny enough this is the month I am most relax and not tracking anything, but he is not silly, and knows that it's nearly two weeks from af and normally ovulate cd 12/13...

I went to a work induction, and I am happy I went, took the bus, not great but not so terrible, the office has been adapted and an area separated for me, I'll be coming back in a month...

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/07/2020 11:06

@mumof23188 hope no witchy AF for you today!!
@Mococo1 haha so us! Bloody love TikTok 😁
@KateColx glad the shower went well! Defo don't tell him when it's Fw I learnt that the hard way with saying wheh i had my smiley.

@Minster2012 glad you had a nice night! Will you be calling docs about the lack of AF then? Can they prescribe more tabs or something else?
@Newbie0818 yay to EWCM! It usually means ov is to come so you should be alright waiting a day if you can't do it today. Although defo see what you can get away with!!

Catherinettc · 19/07/2020 11:10

Hi guys sorry I've been awol 🤦‍♀️

Had such a busy week

Still hanging on in there, app says af due today. I've decided that the previous lines were bad indents or maybe a wee chemical so I'm going to stay relaxed and just see what happens

Have a brilliant Sunday ladies ❤❤

LaceyMermaid · 19/07/2020 11:18

@Newbie0818 we’re on about the same cycle as I’m ovulating now!

LV1987 · 19/07/2020 11:23

Happy Sunday lovely ladies! I've just had my last day of pineapple, followed by salmon and eggs so I'm all set for a massive roast dinner later 🐽🐽

@Newbie0818 that's fab, get shagging love!!!! 🤞 For a nice normal cycle for you this month

@Franklydear well done on taking that step, it's a big one. Our return to work is still being discussed, but on my assistants last visit to the office, someone poked fun at her for wearing a mask because the air con was on 🙄 that kind of attitude will not make it any easier for those of us that are anxious about returning - when she told me I just wanted to give the culprit a shake. But I can't because social distancing!

@notyetamumbuttrying how are you feeling?? 5dpo now for you isn't it... Not long until its not too early to feel SOMETHING 😂 I can't believe it's already only 6 sleeps until my test day, seems like the last few days have whizzed by in comparison to the lead up to FW

Catherinettc · 19/07/2020 11:27

Yip af just starting so I'm out this month.

Good thing is its bang on time so hopefully means y cycles will stay nice and regular.

Weird though I'm usually killed with cramp but not this time xx

Minster2012 · 19/07/2020 11:30

@Ltay2 yeah I was imaging things like that tbh so took it steady but was great fun!!

@franklydear that's really good news and good steps taken well done! As @LV1987 says some ppl are ridiculous and so frustrating some times

@Notyetamumbuttrying I've just read up and it seems I'm wrong, it should hold off AF for the course of the drug then AF arrive 4/5 days after 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂so we should have been making the most of this time 😂but the hormones are horrible

mumof23188 · 19/07/2020 11:34

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you 🙏🏼 no cramps or aching vagina today so it’s positive so far 🤣
How are you? Where are you at in your cycle?

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/07/2020 11:39

@LV1987 indeed it is! No point symptom spotting as I get all of them every month and it's always AF :( yeah first week of tww always flys by and then second week drags and I get ratty as progesterone rises! I already feel out as got my telltale creamy cm yesterday which I've been tracking last few cycles and it's always ended in AF so I don't see why this cycle would be any different 🤷🏾‍♀️
Hope you're feeling more positive than me? 😂
@Catherinettc sorry she's here but glad she was on time for you! Defo a good sign that all is in order :)
@Minster2012 ah well that's something then! At least it's doing what it's supposed to. Will your hormones calm down now that you're off it?

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/07/2020 11:40

@mumof23188 very positive signs! Do you think you'll wait and test tomorrow then? I'm ok thanks. 5dpo for me.

Vil10 · 19/07/2020 11:44

Morning ladies!!

Well girls, I am tougher than rough, I was that pissed last night we didn't even manage drunk sex because I was too drunk, we got that session in yesterday though so hopefully twice today then tomorrow then Monday morning and night! I used an opk on fmu and it was quite a strong line even with my first wee so thinking ovulation might even be tomorrow instead of Tuesday!

@catherinettc ahhh sorry that af showed up!! Always a shitter!

LV1987 · 19/07/2020 12:15

@notyetamumbuttrying not counting myself out yet, but also don't want to get too positive as falling this month would be a little too perfect! I had creamy CM this time last month too, but this month I'm dry as the Sahara, which I don't think is a good sign 😂🤔

Newbie0818 · 19/07/2020 12:27

@Minster2012 @Ltay2 @notyetamumbuttrying @LaceyMermaid @LV1987 Thank you! I'm going to watch my temps closely over the next few days to see if anything happens as I think my body has tried to ovulate twice during the month before. I'm having slight cramps too which I usually get around ov so I'm really hoping the inositol has done something, even if af comes I'll be over the moon at a shorter cycle 🤞🏼🤞🏼💕

@Catherinettc so sorry about af lovely :( big hugs x

mumof23188 · 19/07/2020 12:28

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m going to hold off a few days as I’ve had a couple of 31 day cycles in the past. I think AF will show tho, it would be to good to be true if it didn’t.

Glad you are ok. Almost half way through the TWW then. The days just drag don’t they!

Missgoldilocks · 19/07/2020 12:29

@LV1987 honesty I've had both cm types and not been pregnant so it's not a good indicator lol I try not to look at cm anymore because none of it means anything 😂😭

lucyrp · 19/07/2020 12:34

Morning ladies or should I say afternoon. It all went pretty quiet on here yesterday so I don't think I posted at all yesterday !😱 were off to the beach again today as it's my only day off with OH so we've brought a picnic and a change of clothes incase it's warm enough to go in the sea☀️🙈 got a busy week next week and I'm so excited. Tomorrow I've got to sort the last bits from my ex's house which is mostly DS bits then me and my best friend are going shopping, Tuesday I have the doctors and a gas engineer coming to the house then I'm going to meet another friend and her baby for a picnic, wednesday me and my best friend are going for a 20 mile bike ride! Then Thursday is a day just for me and DS🥰then back to work!

@KateColx we're going to see OH best friend later and they've just had their little girl so going to get cuddles but going to be heart breaking at the same time!

@Minster2012 omg that bike ride pub crawl sounds so good! Hope you had a lovely night!

@Newbie0818 omg exciting!!

@Catherinettc sorry to hear about af but glad your cycles are regular for you and on time!

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 12:36

Hi all please can i join your group, have been a lurker from around bus 4 so seem like a brill bunch and very supportive. 35 TTC #3 after a 12 year gap 😱 i am a bit of a recluse after so called friends turned back on me after i got with dp 18months ago (they still very much enjoy going out drinking every night and chasing boys which i wasnt interested in doing)

LaceyMermaid · 19/07/2020 12:43

@Bbdm1984 hi I’m new to this all too! I’m TTC after a nearly 12 year gap too so in the same boat as you. I’m 38 though! 😬

LaceyMermaid · 19/07/2020 12:44

Shame you got AF @Catherinettc but I think it is a good sign all is in order in your cycle

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 12:49

Hi @laceymermaid how long have you been trying? Its been a year for me now (i knew he was my forever straight away) have tried opks and bbt this month although i have no idea how to figure out my bbt chart i am 9dpo so due af on friday

LaceyMermaid · 19/07/2020 12:55

@Bbdm1984 this is only my first cycle. Never did any of this with my other dc so I’m pretty clueless but the ladies on here know their stuff! I’ve been using cheap internet opks to track if my cycle is returning (had Mirena removed a few weeks ago and had been having them in for nearly 12 years!) I’ve finally got a strong line yesterday so hopeful everything still works! Fingers crossed for your BFP soon

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 13:05

@laceymermaid yeah i was the same had the mirena for 12 years (i was on my 3rd) 🤞 for you too, i hope it happens quickly for you. I did get pg last year but ended in a MC so at least i know i am still working and up until that happened i never realised how much i actually really really want another. I think i am out this month so just looking forward to next month

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/07/2020 13:08

@LV1987 😂 interesting what @Missgoldilocks said about cm not being a useful indicator to anything.
@mumof23188 keep us posted!
@lucyrp sounds like a fun day and week ahead! Enjoy 😊
Good luck @LaceyMermaid and @Bbdm1984!

I'm having a very lazy Sunday and back in my bed after my cooked breakfast earlier. Think I'll lay off the wine now, clearly I can't cope anymore 😂
