@Libbyvmama @LT103 @MrsF18

I made us a new thread to continue with the crazy TTC weirdness discussion.

AND @Sdoo4 Congrats again on your BFP!

How are you all doing?

Anyone else welcome to join ofc!

@Leobaby it’s rubbish. I’d read that false positives are rare. But I got a positive at 11 dpo last month. Pink line came up instantly so not an Evap but then only negatives after and wasn’t pregnant and I’ve read of lots of people getting positives followed by negatives since then. Hope you get your bfp and af stays away!!!

@Mrschips07 I've tried to post a message on here, it said it's posted but it hasn't!! Just taken an Asda test and it's looking positive to me

@Buns05 Thats brilliant! Congratulations!

Thanks going to a digital one in the morning I think to make sure!

@Leobaby i read on a fertility blog that when AF comes when trying to conceive its really important to allow yourself a day or so to feel however you want to feel, give yourself some you time and some space and it has really helped me these past 11 months!

AF hasnt arrived for you yet so keep all fingers and toes crossed still as we all are for each other and dont be blaming yourself💖

That’s very true @Mrschips07 funny thing is I fell pregnant very easily before more than once without even trying when I was younger so it’s crazy! (TTC no.1 now tho)

@LT103 I know I’ve read that too. Was a cheapie so maybe a faulty test. Maybe it was a chemical for you last month? Thank you though, 2 days to go. Temp much higher than normal today though. Not looking into it too much lol. Hope you get your bfp soon too!

@abbfabb thank you my love, that’s helpful. I will do that if af arrives. Bless you I’m sorry its taking so long for you as well. I hope you get your bfp soon. Thank you lovely 🥺❤️

@Buns05 ohhh how exciting. Keep us posted when you test tomorrow!!

@Leobaby, we have all been there, try not to be hard on yourself, biology sucks!

@Buns05 congratulations, so excited for you!!

@leobaby Yes same! First time I was pregnant I didn't know til 15weeks, I was young and had a termination. With my son I knew right away, way before a positive test - it was our first month TTC. I keep comparing this to now.

@Mrschips07 exactly, that’s what I keep doing too! All I remember from the times that I was I had sore boobs and the smell of meat was disgusting. Can’t remember If that was before or after my missed period tho. Spotting on day of af when I got my bfp. So now this is all I look for although I always have bloody sore boobs as pms!😭

has anyone heard of a product called pre seed? sooo many reviews of people saying they conceived first time of using it but i do question whether a company has paid for these reviews or if they’re genuine🤔

@abbfabb do a search on here, lots of people rave about it. I haven't personally used it.

@Leobaby I remember really weird things like being bloated on a car journey and having to undo my jeans, can't have been more than 6-7dpo at that point. My boobs were really sore second time round, but they are big so tend to get sore a lot anyway.

When I was pg with my son I was lactose intolerant randomly. So now I am drinking tea with trepidation 😂

@abbfabb I have heard of it but haven't tired! I've just ordered these..

www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647 spent £50 😂🙈

Ahhh @Mrschips07 that’s so strange!😂 yes I didn’t really have many symptoms at all leading to my bfp. But that’s so weird that you became lactose intolerant! I love my tea lol!

@Leobaby honestly I was gutted 😂 I love a milky tea and I LOVE cheese. No dairy and no alcohol, I think I was at my lightest weight when I was pregnant 🙈😂

@beckyBP oh my god so many things its so overwhelming isnt it! did you order the thing that tells you when you should DTD for girl or boy too? ive never heard that concept before😱 i do find it all interesting whether or not its true its really intriguing isnt it😂

fingers crossed they work for you!

Think I'm 8-9dpo at the moment. Tested this morning and BFN. From around Wednesday last week through to about Friday Saturday I had pinching pains on my left side. Almost like someone was nipping from the inside, it was sort of a stinging feeling. Felt a little nauseous and had the twinge in my boobs and CM has gone from egg whites to thin and milky although today when I went to the toilet it was more of a pale yellow and like thinnish lotion like in texture and appearance. No idea where my cervix is though. I wouldn't know what it felt like it it smacked me in the face. I did have a sort of route around and felt like a round ball quite low down into my vagina but I don't know that was it or not. Today my boobs have being a lot more sorer and I'm trying to pinpoint if this was how they felt in my last Pregnancy or if it's just how they feel before my period is due. Also felt very nauseous again today. Last time I didn't test until my period was a week late. This time I missed Julys completely and Ovia doesn't have August on there. Definitely holding out now until Monday to test again. Some moments I feel really hopeful that I am Pregnant and other times I don't. Part of me thinks we missed the window of opportunity and all these little niggly pains are all in my head because I want to be Pregnant so much and time is fast running out for us

@abbfabb it really is!! We did absolutely nothing other than DTD 😂 last month (first cycle) and it didn't work so I'm up for trying more this month!

No didn't bother with the gender ones! I don't mind what I have.

There are so many things that recommend so many different things but I've seen great feedback from these from people saying they've been trying for years and finally caught after trying these so going to give it a whirl! Xx

I'll keep you posted tomorrow! Wish it would post the pic I wanted it too!!

@Mrschips07 omg I can imagine! I love cheese too ahh! That’s so rubbish! I had HG with mine I lost too much weight, obviously I was very young as well it was all too much for me at the time so didn’t carry on with it. I know I have HG to look forward too this time too 😭

@Buns05 I find when posting a pic i have to press “post” twice and wait a few minutes and it’ll upload! It never uploads straight away for me always a good few minutes.

@beckyBP hahaha well OH must be loving all the trying at least😂 im sooo curious to see if it works for you! theres so many things i want to try but obviously money wise its best to try one thing per cycle so im definitely leaning towards preseed for my next round if AF comes this week so you try those and i’ll try preseed and we can keep each other updated on progress😂
are there any other things you have tried and tested so far? x

Has anyone done the pineapple core thing? I was reading up on it but think I’m too late this cycle as you take it from ovulation to 5 dpo. But I had a pineapple in the house I was cutting up so I’ve kept the core and blitzed it with a little bit of the pineapple and some orange juice and frozen it in ce cube trays so I have it as an option for next cycle if I need it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ This is me taking it easy and letting nature take its course, not getting obsessed over everything 😂

@abbfabb yes! Let's keep each other in the loop. No, nothing yet. Cycle 1 just went for it so when AF finishes it's cycle 2. Think I'm going to drop caffeine too 😬

Ooo I need to look into the pineapple thing @LT103 thanks! Yep.. suuuuper taking it easy and chill here too 😐🙈😂😂

Can I join!
I’m currently around 7/8 dpo and yesterday I had cramping in my back on my right side on and off all day. Also had a bit of cramping in my lower belly and a bit of poking on my bikini line by my hip. Felt like period pains but not quite as bad!
I thought AF had arrived so went to the toilet but all I had was egg white mucus that was a pinky beige colour.
Had absolutely nothing today though so I’m not sure what yesterday was about but I’m hoping it means something good!
Best of luck to everyone!
