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

@SarahTTC2020 ahh hope you feel better soon!! 
@mumof23188 when are you actually due on? Thinking I should start telling but then my pms is so bad, I pretty much know when I'm coming on!
@SmileyT hey lovely! Hope you're well Smile
DH takes the wellman tabs too, has done for months now and no joy so far. He has annoyingly decided to start smoking again since lockdown begun so that's not ideal! It's about 3 or 4 a day but then at weekends it's more and it drives me mad! He knows he needs to stops before we have to get tests done so think he's biding his time! Two months to go 😬

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/07/2020 19:52

@mumof23188 that was meant to be temping* not telling

Clairey844 · 20/07/2020 20:03

Huge congratulations @Mococo1 and @zippityzip

Just having a quick scan and catch up whilst putting little one to bed. We're caravanning it with friends...during FW 😳😳
Managed to get a kitchen quickie in before we left Saturday morning but nothing yesterday so 🤞🏻 for today although not hopeful as toddler in with us and there's 9 of us in total in a 2 bed caravan 😂😂

KateColx · 20/07/2020 20:04

@Mococo1 oh my goodness congratulations!!! 💖💖💖 lovely strong lines too 😍🥰 so so pleased for you. Laughed at the 'didn't know we were trying this month' haha Xx

@zippityzip congratulations!! Nice to hear thst you only done it twice in the FW too! I always have it in my head that if I'm not doing it multiple times a day then I won't get pregnant 😂 how did your OH react? ☺️ x

@Minster2012 ooh what are you thinking for your hair? X

@lucyrp I think I missed it, have you been for blood tests now? X

Girls I need cheering up. Static smiley today buuttt I've just decided to write this month off 😔 and maybe even stop 'actively' trying for a month or so. 4 times over the past few days we've had sex but OH couldn't finish 😫 literally happened less than 4 times in the 8 years we've been together, and now 4 times in a row. First time didn't think much of it but after we tried again yesterday he even said that he thinks it's got in his head now and the pressure has made it worse. Feel gutted, but I've decided I want to lose weight before our holiday in September and signed up to a 8 week plan with my PT, so I'm thinking I might not even track anything next month, focus on losing weight/fitness but still up our DTD and just see how we go.

The September holiday falls over FW so I think that could be a good time when we're both chilled.

Sooo guys please can I come to the back of the bus with you cool kids? @Minster2012 @lucyrp I defo won't be leaving anytime soon x

LV1987 · 20/07/2020 20:14

Eurgh, I feel really "periody" this evening 🙄 I checked my notes from last month, and I recorded the same at a similar time so its probably not a good sign for me 😒 pass the bloody chocolate!!

SmileyT · 20/07/2020 20:41

@Vil10 well it's fair to say you'll be well and truly covered whatever day it falls 😈

@SarahTTC2020 ahh hope you feel better soon lovely xx

@notyetamumbuttrying I think if you are having regular cycles and you are DTD all around that static you're probably well covered but may be interesting to temp for a month just to confirm 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm all good thanks, how many dpo are you now? Ahh the smoking is so annoying, I can't judge as I've smoked on and off for the last couple years, it's such an easy habit to fall back into especially in lockdown...

@Clairey844 I'm impressed you are even considering it, maybe you can accidentally forget something in the caravan one afternoon and go back for a super quickie, with somebody else keeping an eye one little one of course 😂

@KateColx I think like a lot of ladies have said it can definitely happen and when we are exhausted aswell it's hard to keep going when you feel like it isn't going to happen. I definitely think it's a positive to focus on something else, don't prevent but maybe take a step back from the fertile week anxiety. I feel like once they are in their heads it so hard to get out but he is definitely not alone. My DP said when I first joined MN, who are these men that whinge about their ladies wanting sex but a few months in and the pressure definitely got to him 😕

@LV1987 feeling periody definitely isn't always a bad sign, stay positive, you've done everything you can this month 🤞 xx

LV1987 · 20/07/2020 20:44

@SmileyT I hope so... But I didn't squeeze in sofa sex and we don't have a pouffe 😅🤞

3andout · 20/07/2020 20:48

Congratulations @Mococo1 and @zippityzip amazing stuff!

Only a day or two into the tww ahhhh!

Katao · 20/07/2020 21:10

@KateColx ah that's tough. I think you are right, a less scheduled approach would be best so if fertile week is getting to him. As long as you are not preventing you're still in with a chance and you will still have a rough idea of timing 😉

@Noble89 just wondering how you have been feeling since. Has the nausea improved any?

blodyn91 · 20/07/2020 21:19

@KateColx I think your relationship comes first, and he is obviously under so much pressure I think you are doing the right thing focusing on something else. Hell soon forget about it all. On holiday is the perfect time! maybe stop with the opk now you have a rough idea in your head of when you ovulate. Just enjoy each others company

mumof23188 · 20/07/2020 21:30

@SarahTTC2020 hope you feel better soon!
@notyetamumbuttrying I was due AF on Sunday. Started having pink CM this evening but don’t think I’m going to class today as CD1? Probably tomorrow when it really gets going! Ahh yes, does your pms start at around the same time each cycle? I wonder if you would still get those symptoms if you did conceive because pregnancy and pms symptoms are supposed to be the same?

Minster2012 · 20/07/2020 21:42

@KateColx we'll have you at the back won't we @Lucyrp but long as you bring us the latest copy of more magazine!

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/07/2020 21:49

@SmileyT I'm thinking I'll start it in September when it's month 12, that'll be the only thing left to do then as I do everything lol!
Glad you're good! I'm 6dpo today and feeling twinges but I twinge all cycle long 😂
Yeah lockdown really sent him over the edge bless him. You told anyone else about your pregnancy yet?
@mumof23188 yeah that's what I'm so intrigued by! I have no idea what it'll be like. I hope get something different like boob pain as I never get that usually.
@KateColx prob a good idea! You'll prob end up getting my pregnant anyway lol! Mine has struggled before with performance anxiety. Try not to tell him the crucial days if you can get away with it.

Vil10 · 20/07/2020 22:24

@SmileyT I hope so🍆 really hoping this is our month!!

@KateColx I've seen a few girls say this about their OH's so it definitely isn't uncommon! It must just be a lot of pressure for them! I tbink you're definitely doing the right thing trying to focus on something else, and people do say it happens when you relax so it might be a blessing in disguise!!

2alreadywantanother · 20/07/2020 22:26

@katecolx. It's a male thing. I dont mention ovulating or dates. He can tell as I'm all over him 😂😂 but we dont discuss it so no pressure. Tell him yous will take a break. Relax a bit and enjoy hun x

Juno231 · 20/07/2020 22:34

@blodyn91 @notyetamumbuttrying ha yes my OH has been taking wellman for the last few months as well with no luck lol.

@SmileyT OPKs were fainter than ever this afternoon! Makes me extra glad about bbt so I don't have to wonder if I've already missed a peak or something. It is super early as I'm only on CD11 today but I did have a pretty big temp drop today so am low key anxious this was it.

2alreadywantanother · 21/07/2020 04:47

Those checking bbt. I'm assuming a disturbed sleep can have an affect on it. Do we still take it and note it or skip?
4.46am and I'm probably won't be getting much more sleep tonight. So just wondering

lucyrp · 21/07/2020 06:45

Morning girls!
I've just caught up with everything from yesterday but too much to tag everyone sorry!
@KateColx yes me and @Minster2012 will defo have you at the back don't worry! And no my blood tests are today!

CD73 here and did a cheeky FRER with fmu this morning just to check before my blood tests today and it's stark white so here I am posting it like @Minster2012 so all you girls have something to compare yours too😂 I defo have line eyes tho because I'm sure I can always see something😂
When I popped to the loo first thing I did have some spotting of a browny colour when I wiped twice was quite a bit so no idea what's going on!

lucyrp · 21/07/2020 06:47

Had a lovely day shopping yesterday and had a funny time as bought quite a few clothes then went back to the car to try them on 😂😂 it was so hot and me and my friend were struggling around trying to put these clothes on and lucky we did because we had to go and exchange them for another size😂 I even found myself hiding in the corners of shops trying on shorts over my clothes 😂 was such a lovely sunny day I hope you all enjoyed yours! We even had a nandos on the way home 😍

lucyrp · 21/07/2020 06:47

Forgot to attach the test🙈

Minster2012 · 21/07/2020 06:59

Morning!
@lucyrp you haven't even attached it muppet! You've forgotten how to do that 🤪have yourself a slap on the wrist and get back over here to the naughty seats 😉where's that blank stick?!! Seriously though I'm routing for your period more than mine currently FFS this is ridiculous

@Laceymermajd did anyone answer your 🍍query? It's certainly a well known wives tale in IVF circles that eating pineapple core may assist implantation of a fertilised egg so it's one of those things that doesn't really harm to add in 😂🤦🏼‍♀️just in case but even this article goes against others as to when to eat 🤷‍♀️

BPT2019 · 21/07/2020 07:11

Morning ladies, some of these posts made me giggle 😂
Well I did another IC and it was BFN so I think it's safe to say my positive test was a faulty one 😒 helpful tests lol!
Hope you're all okay 😊 x

SmileyT · 21/07/2020 07:14

@LV1987 sofa sex is easily swapped out for any kind of fun sex 🤪 it's funny because OH hates the pouffe because he think it's just pointless but he has now become a fan 🤣

@notyetamumbuttrying the end of the first week of the TWW is always the hardest part but stay positive. And nope don't think I'll be telling anyone for a while, I've already decided that I'll tell my parents on their birthday at the end of October less time for my mum to go mental 🙄

@Juno231 yeah it's definitely nice having a couple of ways that you're tracking so you don't have to 2nd guess so much, what did your temp do today? x

Good luck with your bloods today @lucyrp xx

OP posts:
Juno231 · 21/07/2020 07:15

@2alreadywantanother depends on how out of kilter it is with the rest of your temps. I'd probably skip it or check it against the temp adjuster in case it's at a critical time of your cycle and could affect the crosshairs. Eg I saw someone skip theirs the other day and then wonder why their OD looked funny on the chart and I was 99% sure the day they skipped it was in fact OD lol.

lucyrp · 21/07/2020 07:17

@Minster2012 I attached it on my next message😂 I literally have forgotten how to do anything on here I've reduced my hours on the app so much😂 I thought it would turn up yesterday when I was miles away from home and having a fun day although now I'm expecting it tomorrow as I'm going to be out cycling all day so of course it will happen then 🙈
