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

@lucyrp ooh good stuff! And yeah same as me, we've had nowhere to go have we 😂 I've got my sisters baby shower next weekend so I've got a cute floaty dress for that and a new bag and sandals. Just hope the rain stays away! We're also meant to be going to Barcelona next month so have got a tropical high waisted bikini for that. Hope I get to wear it!
Best of luck for Tuesday, really hope you get some answers! Thanks

Vil10 · 19/07/2020 18:32

@Newbie0818 oh 100%😂

@Bbdm1984 Hahahaha why won't he??i think any Oreo the rumour has it😂

@Ltay2 oooo yes good shout maybe I need to get some for after ovulation too!

Newbie0818 · 19/07/2020 18:59

@SarahTTC2020 yes! Just replied on other thread haha

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 20:08

@vil10 ive currently got no feeling from my nipples downward so he said he wont touch me, im determined to have my wicked way with him tonight though ha. @lucyrp i have everything 🤞 your appointment goes well on tuesday for you, you definitely have been through the mill

Catherinettc · 19/07/2020 20:26

Ladiea how much bleeding is too much? This is bad. Cramp kicked in badly to the point of tears. I've soaked through a tampon (never happened before) in less than an hour. Ran to toilet cos i could feel it all gushing (tmi sorry) and there was something sitting on my pants (even before I got the tampon out. I took a pic but don't really want to post it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ but defo feels like something isn't right xx

Minster2012 · 19/07/2020 20:57

Hey ladies!
And welcome @Bbdm1984 all welcome here, glad you took the plunge & unlurked...I love that word (probs not a proper word but hey 🤷‍♀️😂!) welcome to the real posting world! Sorry your mates turned their backs on you, that sucks, but their loss then. We will support you 😘

@vil10 are you slightly less hungover now?!!!

@juno231 sounds great!

@Catherinettc there's no real normal I'm afraid cos a lot of ladies are real heavy I guess? If you are really worried phone 111? They can advise on the whole "too much bleeding" and something sitting there but even if it's a miscarriage they wouldn't really say there's much to do I'm afraid except take paracetamol as that's what I was told but I'm sending you biiiiiiig hugs lady. It maybe sounds like you had a CP and it's clotting from that xxxx

I'm still catching up from last night having not checked in now since about 10am after having picked up DS & he was in a terrible mood, then I had another disagreement with my mother when picking up DS who have now decided that they may not come to DS's birthday party on Sunday as they don't feel comfortable (despite them doing their own shopping & mixing with me & DS who goes to nursery & my dad going cycling with 5 of his mates every week& going to see their friends). Suddenly an outside party where they can sit as far away from whoever on my DH's side isn't good enough cos we've all been to pubs. I hate the hypocrisy. Our other friend is the same. She said no to her & her OH & 2 kids coming as it's too high risk & she hoped I'd understand, yet last night her OH met us in the pub & stood nearly touching my DH looking at something on his phone. He wasn't bothered but I told my DH off for being too risky & standing too close & I insisted we sit outside. For my parents Seeing me or DS carries as much risk. 🤷‍♀️I'm the more vulnerable one so we are doing everything we can to make it safe.

Catherinettc · 19/07/2020 21:12

Thanks @Minster2012 I'm just keeping an eye on it. I was thinking nothing much they can do unless its like hemorrhaging. I just panicked a bit 🤦‍♀️ didnt help that I sent my sisbthe pic and ahe panicked too lol. I've spent the whole month trying to be so chilled out as well 🤣🤣 xx

SmileyT · 19/07/2020 21:12

Hey everyone 👋

Welcome @Bbdm1984 how comes you don't have any feeling from your nipples down? x

@Catherinettc I'd say if you soak through a super tampon in less than an hour for more than 3hours you should contact 111, I'm pretty sure that's what A&E told me was the level to be worried. Also you may want to take some iron tablets if you aren't already as you may feel really fatigued from heavy period. I have pretty heavy periods and always have to double up at night 😩

@Minster2012 that sounds really shit, it is annoying during this COVID stuff when people say they want to protect themselves but are also doing loads of other stuff 😤 if it's outdoors i feel like adults can definitely trust themselves to keep their distance from people if they want to. I'm sure DSs birthday will still be fantastic regardless x

Thank you so much @minster2012. I am sorry your family and friends are being like that, its such a hard situation for everyone at the moment but totally understand why you are frustrated it can be easily socially distanced if your outside i hope they come round so that you can enjoy your day

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 21:17

Minster2012 · 19/07/2020 21:23

@Catherinettc yeah unfortunately that's the annoying thing about bleeding, any kind of bleeding really is that it's all a bit scary but not much that can be done, plus it LOOKS like loads, but prob isn't really 🤞🏻😳, @SmileyT has good info, and yes thinking back to when discussing my MMC with the nurses they said "abnormal bleeding" was soaking through upwards of a "heavy pad an hour" so I guess that's the standard of having to change a deep pad an hour. Def make sure you are trying to make yourself comfy. Hot Water bottles etc & hope it eases off for you xxx

@SmileyT thank you yes it's just so frustrating that's all when they say "oh we've done X Y Z" then expect me to be all cooped up 🤷‍♀️😂worth oversactive DS AND the garden all nice & food shopping etc

lucyrp · 19/07/2020 21:43

@notyetamumbuttrying oooo sounds like a lovely outfit! yesss to barca! thank you i really hope so too! 🙈

@Bbdm1984 thank you 🥰

blodyn91 · 19/07/2020 21:53

Hi all, @mumof23188 🤞 for you!
@Catherinettc sounds horrible, along with an early faint positive could well be a mmc 😩
🙋🏼‍♀️ also got drunk today at 3pm after two pints of summersby cider (the best), after walking down to the village with our new neighbors. Came home and had to have a sober up nap before our wedding photographer came round 😂 busy little Sunday. And yes I am a total lightweight, gone are the days when I would pre drink on a bottle of wine
@Minster2012 thats quite sad. Really hope your DS still gets a brill party. When is it?

Mococo1 · 19/07/2020 22:06

@minister2012 ahh that sucks! Hopefully they will realise it's okay and feel a bit more comfy with ten situation

Oh @catherinettc hopefully you are okay? Sounds a bit like a CP/MMC as you would have bits of womb come out and it's not right that you're in that much pain- maybe just call 111 and get some advice? X

A quick question I'm due to test tomorrow (but FRER isn't here yet 🙄) if I get a trillion to 1 miracle and do get a positive do you guys think I should continue to take my usual pharmacy of vitamins?

Atm I'm on:

-Pregnacare prenatal (which I know u can take till u switch)
-omega 3

  • COQ10*
  • B6 and magnesium*
  • Vitamin D&C

Just not sure if I should continue the coq10 and B6 and magnesium? No clue x

I actually feel like I'm out this month already so currently sitting on my bed being a depressed sad lady n holding the babygrow I got to tell DH from my last miscarriage ☹️😭

Newbie0818 · 19/07/2020 22:26

Oh @Mococo1 bless you, but hugs to you and good luck with testing ❤️

Vil10 · 19/07/2020 22:36

@Minster2012 a little bit! A good beef roast sorted me out for a little bit then had some Oreo chocolate so definitely should be pregnant, but I feel a bit grim again!! Sounds like you've had such an annoying day, hypocrites wind me up! I think everyone has become so much more touchy during covid! I'm sure you'll have a such a good day for your boys birthday either way!x

@Catherinettc oh god hope you're okay!!x

@Mococo1 good luck for testing tomorrow!! I'll have everything crossed for you! Keep your chin up!x

jessstan2 · 19/07/2020 22:39

" Bum up after the goods are deposited"

What does that mean?

Why not just have sex as you would normally and if you become pregnant, great, if not, stop worrying because it will probably happen eventually. If it doesn't after a long time of no contraception, then seek advice.

SmileyT · 19/07/2020 22:53

@Mococo1 good luck testing tomorrow. When are the FRERs due? I'd just stop the COQ10 everything else is good for pregnancy from what I've read ☺️ B6 and magnesium are good for pregnancy x

@jessstan2 definitely if you're not in a rush then just have sex and hope it happens, but doesn't do any harm to lay in bed afterwards if you want to✌🏾

@Juno231 hope it worked and OH was up for it 😁
@blodyn91 thank you! AF stayed away today so will see what tomorrow brings! I’m so anxious!
@Minster2012 that is very shitty. I do feel like people are hypocrites atm with Covid-19. It’s not fair. I’m sure your DS will have an amazing day.
@Mococo1 ahh good luck for testing tomorrow 🤞🤞

mumof23188 · 19/07/2020 23:05

@Catherinettc sorry you are going through all that. Sounds awful. Hope you are ok x

mumof23188 · 19/07/2020 23:06

@jessstan2 thanks for stating the obvious! Think everyone understands the ins and outs of TTC!

Bbdm1984 · 19/07/2020 23:24

Hi @smileyT and congratulations on your bfp, i know from reading previous posts your queen b and so supportive of everyone.. i have an autoimmune condition and currently having a relapse hence the feeling i am out this month. Im more of a leg high in the air with a bunch of pillows over my head kind of girl myself, leave the 'bum in the air' for the actual doind the deed @jessstan2. @mococo1 🤞 for that bfp tomorrow

Catherinettc · 19/07/2020 23:42
