Ovulation/TTC continued

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

That's brilliant @MrsRosaline you must be so pleased!

That's awful did you have to go to hospital? X

@MrsRosaline that's brilliant news!!! It's just so good to see when your body is doing the thing that it's supposed to do 🙂 takes off the added stress!

I've been having horrific cramps yesterday and today, CD 9 today. Can only assume I'm gearing up for ovulation, although haven't got a clue as I'm still not testing.

@MrsRosaline @CShandy01 you're totally right-I used to get such a buzz from seeing my peak!

@CShandy01 do you usually get ovulation cramps? It's funny how symptoms can be different month on month!

@hoola23 hope your period pains have eased abit today xxx

@newtolineofduty I do every month - I used to actually get cramps a week before and during ovulation, then it would go and then I'd have another 5 days of pre cramping before AF. Now it's just like cramp city since having DD 😂😂 I can tell which ovary I'm ovulation off as well, so deffo the right side this time round. Just not sure when it'll be! Hoping to DTD probably tomorrow if we can be bothered, but I've asked DH if we can have a nice weekend like we used to before DD. So hopefully it'll seem more spontaneous rather than a check list!

@CShandy01 sounds like a good plan hun! Xxx

Can anyone recommend vitamins for men to take to help with conception ?

I shall update you in the morning - hopefully it will be peak! @newtolineofduty @CShandy01 @hoola23

My husband is taking impryl. He couldn't take well man/pregnacare ones because it affects other medication he takes.

@MrsRosaline I've just bought him well man. Also stocked up on pomegranate juice and grapefruit juice

@newtolineofduty not as bad today thank god but this is the first proper period for two months so defo not pleasant! Should be done in 3 days then straight onto manic baby making!

@hoola23 if I ovulate next few days we won't be trying. I'm in two minds about it. I thought I wanted time to get over it etc. but now I'm ovulating so late I do feel better so wonder if I still want a proper period first... Probably best to wait. So roll on the next three weeks when I can get back to it again!

@Aims1991 i also have grapefruit juice. What's with the pomegranate!?

@Aims1991 make sure it's pink grapefruit x

Can i join please? TTC#2 1d PO, on my two week wait, second month trying 🙂

@newtolineofduty yeah it's pink grapefruit.
@MrsRosaline I've read pomegranate is meant to be amazing for trying.

@newtolineofduty why pink??

@MrsRosaline I don't know I just know it's pink grapefruit juice that's the one that's recommended-something to do with it's acidity! X

Haha ok! I'm pretty sure the one I've got is pink. I can add 100ml of pomegranate too...

@MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty do I need to get on this juice vibe?! Which juice do you have to drink to make a baby?! I want a successful month so I'll take all the tips i can!! 🤣

Still no peak this afternoon. So hopefully in the morning it will come 😬

@hoola23 apparently pink grapefruit juice can increase cervical mucus!

@MrsRosaline ah ok! I think I'm ok
With ewcm but I'll give it a try anyway!

I'm not sure if it's just me or a psychological thing, but I've noticed since I've taken Pregnacare that I have so much CM!! Can't actually tell if it's EWCM so I'm just assuming that CD9 for me is too early for ovulation 😂

@hoola23 this is what I read about pomegranate juice. Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants and it is these antioxidant properties which have been shown to benefit both male and female fertility. In women, the antioxidant properties found in pomegranates could increase blood flow to the uterus and promote healthy uterine lining for implantation.

@Aims1991 right so pink grapefruit and pomegranate juice added to Ocado 🤣

@hoola23 my OH said he can't fit anything in the fridge because of all the NEW juice we have 🤣🤣🤣
