Don’t want to raise suspicion. I’m a bit of a booze hound on occasion.

@NamechangeTTC I drank until i found out I was pregnant. My husband just got a new job, we celebrated with a champagne party. A week later i found out i was pregnant and i had a perfect birth and baby. I don't think at that early stage its an issue.

Im on the mojitos in the garden as we speak lol.

@candycrush2298 awe thanks. I'm already dreading having to do it all again next month haha!!

@candycrush2298 i think you'll be fine with it. I'm the opposite, i hate sleeping with tampons. I think because my AFs are so light they feel uncomfortable. I have a 4 day AF so last cycle the last 2 days i used my cup and it was actually ok. Its abit weird because its something new but you can see how much more healthy they are.

Haha yeah he doesn't quite get this whole conception thing. He's been saying allday 'so we can make babies later' etc 🤣 no bub it doesn't work like that, the days have gone haha

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 21:20

@Kaybobx yeah I still have a full box of tampons so wanted to use them up but now since I want to temp think I will use tampons during the day and then cup at night. Think I will like the cup more as its definitely healthier.

Whahahahaah maybe he just wants to keep bd'ng. Hubby and I love to play wrestle so the day he did his test I jabbed him in the sude and he said "dont do that you will hurt my sperm, you wanna make some babies don't you" oh flip I couldn't stop laughing but just made me realise he definitely needed the test for reassurance.

@candycrush2298 thats sounds like a plan. The cup is actually really comfortable 👌🏻 was it you that first suggested it? I actually like it now.

Haha awe thats cute. I think they really need it hence why i brought the test. He kept saying to our little girl today, do you want a baby brother or sister? Its like hes super interested all of a sudden and a weight is lifted off his shoulders. I know hes thought its his fault for a while.
Some people are just unlucky though like we both know! Were all fine but it just doesnt happened 😔

@Kaybobx yeah it was me for bd but now I am keen to use it for its intended purpose.

And yeah I know its weird I think thats why hubby was hesitant before becuase he felt like its his fault we weren't conceiving. Now that he knows its not him he is much more invested. Even though we know our guys have to go for the NHS testing I really think we made the right choices getting these tests for morale. And yes sometimes there's just no explanation. I dont know why but I feel like there's still something small that just needs fixing like maybe a tube blockage or something. But we will only know when he has gone for his tests and they move back to me to continue investigating.

@candycrush2298 agreed, he definitely needed a moral boost and its definitely given him that which is great. To be honest it took just over a year to conceive our daughter, no issues, no problems it chose to be that time.
In a way you want something to be wrong so it can be fixed! It's the unknown that makes it worse. Once we have both been tested i don't know the next steps? Like how do you know about blockages? Is that not on the initial scan?

@Kaybobx awww I am so glad he is feeling better about it all. I know our men have one job.... to ejaculate lol but the emotions are there for them too.
Well then maybe it will be about the same now, maybe a little quicker now because you using opks that work for you and you're temping and you did bd a lot lol so maybe you have just increased your chances xx I am hopeful for you cant wait for next week to see these squinters lol!!

Yeah that's probably why I am feeling like something must be wrong with me so they can fix it and we can get pregnant lol!
I have no idea what your next steps will be maybe do some scans on you??
I am not sure, dont quote me but this is my vague understanding - the scan is to check for anomalies like polyps, fibroids, cysts etc. Then if that's all clear they will scan to see your follicles when you are about to ovulate to measure the size and make sure the quality is good and then I think they do an HSG which is the dye down the tubes which check for blockages. I dont know about the order just listing as I think it would be lol even if they do all that its just tidbits I have been picking up on here and there so please don't quote me i could be totally wrong. But if they do all that and it all comes back clear (you are meant to be extremely fertile after an HSG) so if you not preggo after that then I think they move onto IUI and IVF.

@Boc86 awww thanks hun its OK was expecting it after yesterday's temp drop so had already mentally prepared and all the tests were negative except for that one where I thought I saw a very faint line but was probably just line eyes lol!!

I have decided with me returning to work a few days a week will hopefully fall on the 8/9dpo days as I only want to test from about 10dpo earliest its driving me too over the edge and I am obsessing over it too much. I need to focus on other things its becoming all consuming and the stress isn't going to help me anything.

As for you though I cant wait to hear its not a chemical and you have a sticky bean really rooting for you xx
