I don't know what to think now as cramps have gone again I am so confused af is due in Friday and I am feeling super sick again and craving feta cheese. Very random haha xx

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 13:32

@Elakiya also 29 will be 30 in September. Ahhhh might have to do some convincing then lol!!!

@mummyjojo19 wow ummm that is random LOL! I wish our bodies wouldn't toy with us like this. Hopefully it can still turn out to be good news for you xx

@candycrush2298 That puts us in the same academic year whooo!!! With hubby's family there were 3 of them. He said he doesn't want 3 because it's easy for 2 to gang up on one. I've noticed that both him and his brother are closer to his sister and more distant with each other. I mean they talk but aren't as close as they are to their sister.

2 is a more realistic goal now that I've left it to 29 to start trying for a baby :( and who knows when I'll actually have my first child. I definitely don't want to be carrying a baby at 40!

oooo wouldn't it be amazing if you're pregnant before your 30th would be such an amazing end to your 20's :D. I am hoping for the same.

@mummyjojo19 Good luck. Keep testing there is still hope for you :D

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 14:18

@Elakiya yeah same year!! Whoohoo!! I can believe that in high school I dated a guy that had to younger brothers and the younger two were definitely closer to each other than to my ex. It makes sense why he doesnt want 3.

I know I also don't want to be 40 purely because the risks are so much higher. I started when I was 27 now wish I had just started younger haha.

I totally agree lets hope we're both pregnant before our 30th. What month is your birthday?

@candycrush2298 February. Have you tried seed cycling? Not sure if it was ever mentioned in our threads or mentioned in other threads?

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 14:30

@Elakiya no never heard of it what is it?

OP posts:
Elakiya · 21/07/2020 14:33

@candycrush2298 I love it when I bring new ideas to the table. Seed cycling is basically eat seeds to help with hormonal balance and therefore increase fertility.

Day 1 to ovulation (they say to 14 but I am guessing ovulation)

  • 1 tbsp of Flaxseeds and 1 tbsp of pumpkin seeds to support Estrogen production
Ovulation to end of cycle
  • 1 tbsp of sunflower seeds and 1 tbsp of Sesame seeds to support Progesterone production.
candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 14:41

@Elakiya oh wow OK did you try it this cycle? Since I am already on CD7 doesnt help me much lol.

Have seen the eat pineapple core first thing in the morning before eating drinking anything from 1-5dpo.

I'm feeling so old now haha!! I wish i was 29 again 😭 I'm 33 so my clock is ticking away. Thankfully i only want one more, so it needs to hurry up before im cashing in my pension haha!!

Ive not heard of seed cycling but have the pineapple core.

Definitely going to give the legs in the air ago @candycrush2298 I'll let you know my hubbys reaction haha

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 16:31

@Kaybobx lol you're not even old!! And like you say you trying for your last one so definitely not too old.

Lol let me know you get on!! Its going to be so interesting to hear how he reacts LOL! What did he say about the cup?

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 16:33

Just seen this on Facebook guys its possible to have late positives for all of you who haven't had positives and AF hasnt arrived yet there's still hope!!!

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)

Kaybobx · 21/07/2020 16:42

@candycrush2298 ooooh if only! Im 14DPO today, do feel like AF will arrive though. Did they say anything about symptoms?
I'll test tomorrow if she hasn't arrived as I'll be 3 days late then.

Yes definitely only want one more, just someone for my little one to grow up with. I always think if anything happened to me and hubby, i wouldn't want her to be alone and my parents are getting older now.
My mums a twin, imagine if i got 2!!! Haha!!

Haha i will indeed let you know what he says. I mentioned the cup to him when it arrived and showed him and he just laughed and said fair enough (his answer to everything). Then after we BD he said, do you want me to get your cup. Totally cool with it like it was a normal thing to do haha!!

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 16:55

@Kaybobx no sorry didn't say anything about symptoms. Sounds like a plan to test again tomorrow. She did mention she had gotten negative tests at 10dpo then didnt test for a few days.

Yeah completely understand your reasoning and agree its always nice for them to have someone to lean on. Oooooh I would love twins. Would you???

Lol love his response thats brilliant and so sweet that he remembered and offered to get it. Adorable xx

mummyjojo19 · 21/07/2020 16:58

@candycrush2298 oh that gives me a little hope as I don't feel like af is on her way like I usually do and I now have really sore boobs again i am due on on Saturday and have a frer which I will use if she hasn't shown by then xxx

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 17:06

@mummyjojo19 well I do hope it results in a BFP!!! Really hoping its good news for you xx

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 21/07/2020 17:13

@candycrush2298 she will be here tomorrow im sure. Definitely feels like it.

I would of loved twins for my first and wouldn't of had anymore. Now if i had twins that would be 3 kids!!! Noooo i couldn't cope. Plus i feel like my first born would feel left out as the twins would be really close with each other.

Haha he's a good husband sometimes 🤣

@mummyjojo19 keeping everything crossed for you. I hope you get your BFP 🙏

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 17:17

@Kaybobx it is a long luteal phase do you normally get to 14dpo before AF shows? Would be strange if she doesnt show by like Thursday.

Yeah I would fear the same thing!! Because twins would naturally be close but I also think we overthink things lol.

Lol sometimes 🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 21/07/2020 17:28

@candycrush2298 its usually 13dpo AF usually comes so 1 day over. I do feel like its coming though and don't feel pregnant at all.

Oh I'm terrible at overthinking! Probably one of my worst traits haha.

So you'll be ovulating by the weekend? So jealous of your cycle!!

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 17:34

@Kaybobx what a pity would be so nice if there was an a slim chance she wouldn't show.

Lol so am I. I over analyse everything lol its very bad!! I wish I could stop myself and just chill.

Yeah this weekend or early next week. Its clearly not that great to have this cycle or I would be pg already hahahaha!! Sometimes I dont even get those blazing positive OPKs its just as dark as control line so I am left thinking was that a positive or wasnt it lol!!! So I am going to be livid if I don't get a peak with this monitor 🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
Elakiya · 21/07/2020 17:43

@Kaybobx Don't they say twins skip a generation? Although I have two sets of cousins that are twins and their parents are twins too.

I would love twins but they don't run in my family, I reckon if I end up having twins it will be due to fertility treatment. Would absolutely love them :D.

My cousin (who is a twin) said she hated it though, because she did not have her own identity they were always referred to as the "twins" and even though they did everything together she said there was a lot of competition between them and people always compared them which made them compete more.

Elakiya · 21/07/2020 17:47

@kaybobx I am also jealous of @candycrush2298's cycles. Partly because if you calculate she has a lot less BD-ing to do then the rest of us!

I'm sick of BD-ing already and I haven't even started this cycle!

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 18:04

@Elakiya I actually read about it and no they don't skip a generation people think that but its because only women can have have twins so lets say husband and wife (not twins) have a set of male twins and then males twins get married but don't have twins because they cannot pass it on only the wife can but they have daughters and they pass the gene on to their daughters and then the daughters grow up and have twins so it looks like it skipped a generation but it didnt its only because they were males. Its really interesting.

And only fraternal twins can run in the family. Identical twins are totally random and cannot be passed on.

Lol whaaaat I have such a high sex drive during my fertile window I could do it like 3 times a day but I want to wear my hubby out hahahah!!! So we stick to every second day. Serious tmi but sometimes I even masterbate lol.

My fertile window is a max of 8 days. Isnt everyone's only like a max of 8 days regardless of how long your cycle is? I mean you don't have to BD when you're not near ovulating.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 21/07/2020 18:05

@Elakiya haha!! I am totally with you! I don't want to BD anymore and i haven't even started yet either.

@candycrush2298 i never have a blazing peak either, never have done.

I have heard twins skip a generation but my brother has 2 kids as does my cousin, i have one and none of us have had them yet. Watch it be me now i say I don't want two hahaha

candycrush2298 · 21/07/2020 18:12

@Kaybobx it would be you because it cant be the boys that have twins LOL!!!!

Glad to know I am not the only one that doesn't get blazing peaks!!!

You guys are so funny about bd'ng🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 21/07/2020 18:20

@candycrush2298 my cousin is a girl 🤣 she was told she'd never have kids too and now has 2 boys. She had really bad endometriosis that spread everywhere!

Haha i don't know what happened to me! I feel so sorry for my husband, when we first met we were like rabbits. Soon as i had my daughter, i hate sex. I don't even masterbate, literally can not be bothered 🙈 cant say the macca root has given me any boost either haha. During the TWW i tell my hubby we can't have sex incase it affects implantation so he literally gets it ovulation week only opps!
