Hey everyone, I'm back for another cycle! Cd12 and ovulation isn't due until friday/Saturday but just had a near positive LH strip, so I think it may happen a few days earlier!

apwilso · 08/03/2021 16:45

@Tabbycat92 welcome back!! It's a bit quiet on the forum front but glad to have you back!

My legs are in the air! 😂 Any other random tips people have come across? I'm giving it all a try this month!

apwilso · 09/03/2021 15:57

I've just tried conceive plus lube and vitamins this month so we will see how they goes

The only things I really did were legs in the air with hips raised for around 30 mins . We dtd on day of peak, day after and 1 dpo . I made sure to stay active and eat healthy etc. I only drank smoothies or diluting juice/water (not intentionally for this but was my new years resolution) . That was it really and also used preseed . I don't no if they made a difference but it worked.

I'm taking a concoction of different vitamins every morning and so is DH. We tried preseed but DH wasn't keen, but we are gonna try it again in a couple days.
🤞🤞🤞

Why don't you try conceive plus ? I know some people prefer that. X

OP posts:
apwilso · 09/03/2021 16:49

I rate conceive plus. OH doesn't though but not sure if it makes a difference. Fingers crossed that the vitamins work wonders everyone said pregnant after a month or so on them

Tabbycat92 · 09/03/2021 17:30

We've tried conceive plus too, he just doesn't like lube at all... "too sloppy" 🤢😂 men! Haha.

apwilso · 09/03/2021 18:26

@Tabbycat92 that's what my other half says😂

apwilso · 10/03/2021 09:29

Think I'm out did a test this morning BFN period due tomorrow but feel as if it's coming today. OH is worried that he's got something wrong with him so he wants to do an at home test x

apwilso · 12/03/2021 14:30

How is everyone xx

Tabbycat92 · 12/03/2021 15:42

@apwilso good thanks you?
I'm 2dpo and honestly have every symptom going 😂

@apwilso sorry to hear about your BFN. I have had some spotting (well once) on Wednesday so have a scan booked in for Monday . Nothing since then so have everything crossed that they find a heart beat. ❤

OP posts:
apwilso · 12/03/2021 18:29

@Tabbycat92 oh no😂😂😂 it's symptom time! I'm currently late on my period but just not thinking into it too much. Did a test about 2 days ago and was BFN so just leaving it to see if my period starts overnight! What symptoms you got?

@1992EM ive heard a few people get some spotting and I heard it's quite normal. Fingers crossed anyway for you x

Tabbycat92 · 12/03/2021 18:44

@apwilso you're not out until AF rears her ugly head!
Headache mainly, slight cramping, tired, etc. Obviously it's far to early to be any sort of pregnancy symptoms

@apwilso thanks , I totally freaked out and phoned the EPU. Well the 4 numbers I was given before I eventually got to speak to them. The triage system is a riot. I haven't had anything since and the sickness/nausea has got a lot worse so I am hoping all is well but also preparing myself that it could be bad news too. I have realised it is a lot more common than I ever realised and really wish they did some sort of class or group when you first find out to prepare you for what could/couldn't happen instead of leaving us to fend for ourselves until 3 months.

@apwilso @tabbycat1991 I have everything crossed for you both ❤

@1992EM sorry to hear about the spotting, im sure all is fine if you've had no more and continue to have pregnancy symptoms! When I was pregnant with my son I had a little bit of spotting at the beginning. Apparently it's just that your cervix is sensitive.

I'm sat here right now forcing myself to eat pineapple core as I heard it helps with implantation 😅🍍

DNpink82 · 12/03/2021 20:25

Feeling slightly hopeful this month 🙈 I'm on cycle #8 and used OPK's every month since starting ttc and I've never had a peak except for this month, I've got my peak Tuesdays and dtd 5 out of the 7 previous days and on ovulation day🤞🏼 this is the month even though I said I didn't want a winter baby 🙈

@tabbycat1992 thank you, that is reassuring. It was literally once and haven't had it since so am hopeful. I hope you TWW goes quickly x

OP posts:
apwilso · 12/03/2021 20:41

@Tabbycat92 if I haven't come on over night I'll test properly in the morning for an accurate result!

@1992EM thanks!

@DNpink82 fingers crossed!
