continuation from thread AF due 20/06 and AF due 20/07

@Elakiya hahaah I dont know that sounds like you were either sleeping with your mouth open or that was a 6 not a 5 on your thermometer lol!!!

Thats very good. Yes we started BD'ng as soon as my flow went to spotting (last week Saturday) just to get the old sperm out since it was a few days since we last BD before then lol. So yeah every other day. I am very close think tomorrow is going to be peak so Sunday ovulation I think i could be wrong but that's my guess. We will BD again tonight and then see what the weekend shows us lol.

Here is todays test almost, almost there.

@candycrush2298 ooo yep you definitely look close. How exciting. Here's to the April baby :D. Have you thought about gender (I mean I know we all just want a happy healthy child) but if you could choose gender what would you have?

@Elakiya I honestly am not worried about gender I would be ecstatic with a girl or boy. My husband thinks we will have a little girl because mostly everyone on my mom and dads side are all girls and on his moms side are all girls and his dads side theres 2 boys (him and his cousin) but yeah I don't think that really determines anything.

Lately I keep thinking we will have a boy, when we started trying I used to have dreams about a little girl with curly blonde hair but yeah last few months I have just had a feeling it will be a boy. Either way I would be overjoyed lol!!

What about you?

@candycrush2298 I want a boy. I've struggled a lot with self confidence and issues about my appearance (especially with the hair loss due to PCOS and yo-yo dieting). I genuinely believe guys have less issues than us so want 4 boys as I think they'll all be mummy's boys :P

@Elakiya ahhhhh so sorry to hear about your confidence, do you feel like your confidence is higher now that you use extensions?

4 boys hahahah ahhhh I see you want them momma boys lol!!! That would be amazing.

@candycrush2298 No it hasn't :( because deep inside I know. Also the extensions look super weird as the texture is very different.

I have had a lot insecurities growing up, and honestly growing up indian household never helps with insecurities. It always makes it a lot lot worse as family can be very blunt.

@Elakiya ahhhh no hun that is so rough so sorry xx

The positive things to look at though is that you have a wonderful husband and are trying to start a family. He obviously loves you, your future children will love you. I truly hope you find the power within to love you as much as they do. You got this girl!

@candycrush2298 Thanks hun :). Anyway positive thoughts again. Girls would be good to though, I love my niece she's 10 and she likes to tell me I am her best friend lol. We make cakes and cookies together. We're going to try apple crumble this weekend. So excited :D

@Elakiya oh how lovely. I enjoy baking and think it will be loads of fun. Sounds like a great weekend planned.

I am not sure what we doing yet. They weather is great here by me so might have a barbecue tonight and then I dont know lol!! I need a new rug for my lounge so might do some shopping haha.

Obviously there will be BD'ng involved 🤣🤣🤣

Well ladies still no sign of af so far but bfn this owning so think I am out for this month good luck lovelies I will continue to follow to see your updates xxx

@candycrush2298 We're having one on Sunday. Weather has been so good lately. Makes working from home near impossible lol!

It's my nephews birthday and I tend to buy both kids. My niece has specifically requested clothes so need to pop into some shops to see if I can find anything nice.

@mummyjojo19 so sorry on another bfn. Strange with all the symptoms you been having our bodies just love to play tricks on us... so very annoying.

@Elakiya I know I keep looking outside and I am like cant I just move everything out there lol!!!

Ahhh how cute!!! Have fun shopping 🛍

Yes just going to wait for af now and start again xx

@candycrush2298 I need a dual screen so can’t do that 😂😅 wish I could lol!

I am going to try seed cycling if this cycle goes badly. Fingers crossed this is our cycle though.

@mummyjojo19 not sure what works best for you but when AF starts I have a good cry through a tantrum to myself about how unfair life is and then eat my favourite things usually cake 😅 and then move on. But whatever works for you let it all out and then try again.

@Elakiya lol me too!! I would not be able to work with one screen. I have a laptop that hooks up to two screens, wireless mouse and keyboard along with a printer lol so going outside won't work but I can look out there with longing.

I am not sure what I am trying next cycle maybe the ava bracelet or temp drop but I don't want to spend more money hahah. So yes this is our cycle for all us girls!!! We got this!!

@snapple21 how you doing is AF all gone? How long do you have to wait before you can start testing with the monitor? When do you start using OPKs?

@ReginaaPhalange how did the scan go? Are you OK?

@Kaybobx how's it going? AF still being a b#tch?

@PinkRoseFlower @littletandme @Boc86 @indecisivewoman81 @TTCandImpatient @PabsyPops you all OK?

@candycrush2298 hey hun. Decided not to go for the scan and the GP said it wouldn't change things at this stage. We agreed for a scan this time next year if I'm not pregnant or one when I'm pregnant.

Been very quiet this week as 7DPO. Trying to keep my mind busy so been working loads then having early nights!

Hope everyone is well xxx

@candycrush2298 Hey! Been reading your messages allday but literally dont get time to jump in whist at work. We've just been out for food, oh my god im stuffed.

AF will be gone tomorrow. Barley anything today yay!!

I have the next new thing to try! So a lad at works mum does acupuncture, he gave me her number and i had a chat with her today about acupuncture for fertility. Apparently its quite effective, going to book in soon once the madness at work dies down

@ReginaaPhalange that's fair enough and sounds like a good plan. At least you have a plan of action in place which is fab.

7dpo and you keeping busy well done!! Your will power is what I aspire to be one day when I'm big haha.

Well done glad to hear you OK. Take care and keep us updated xx

@Kaybobx yum!!! Feeding the soul whilst on AF always works for me 🤣🤣

Yay that is awesome!!! Love it when she's finished!!

Ooooooh I have actually read about it, you have to go quite often isnt it like once a week or something and its not a quick fix like it can take a few months if I understood what I read correctly??? I am really keen to see if this is going to help you. Please let us know once you have had your first session.

@candycrush2298 yep af finished. Using my monitor and temping. I think it won't ask me for a test until day 10 of my cycle!

@snapple21 oh ok is that because you have a longer cycle? It's weird how does the monitor know that vecauee when I set mine up I never asked the usual questions like cycle length etc lol.

Glad to hear AF is gone. Always uplifting when she is out the way.

Its today! Its today!! Question hubby and I BD'd yesterday so would you BD today or tomorrow because I would love to do today and tomorrow but I dont think either of us can go full steam for 3 days in a row 😂😂😂

@candycrush2298 you can do it! Do it today and tomorrow :)

I’m seed cycling @Elakiya it’s so vile! But I do think it bought my ov forward last month

@candycrush2298 all good ta been on holiday then worked yesterday, oh yaaaaaay for peak day!! Good luck!

@candycrush2298 if we go by the sperm meets egg thing you should be doing today and tomorrow and then skipping a day and then doing it again. I can’t believe you’re on your two week wait from tomorrow that’s crazy!

@Boc86 ooo that’s interesting to hear. Why do you think it’s vile though? Can you not just blitz the seeds in a smoothie or something so you don’t taste it? I want to try it to see if it gives me some egg white cm

@snapple21 hahaha I want too but sheesh either me or my hubby will be will be f#ck this sh#t I cant.

@Boc86 that's great did you have a good holiday?

@Elakiya yeah that was before I knew the every other day would land the day before peak. My hubby or I won't make it an extra day. I am just doing to do it today and skip tomorrow. I have a high sex drive but even I have limits lol!!! The more often we do it the longer hubbys stamina lasts and when we start pushing 2 hours I get tired 🤣🤣🤣🤣
