Remember remember the month of November as it’s the month I’m getting pregnant 🎉✨

[Mummytobe93]

Hello everyone ✨🎉

I’m starting a November thread after being unsuccessful this month, got some spotting so probably cycle day 1 for me today, with fertile window being in the first week of November.

Please join me if you’re as hopeful about fresh cycle as I am!

My main goal is to DTD more, we definitely didn’t make the most of it in October …
I’m therefore going to be 100% honest with DH that we need to get down to business this cycle.

PS. Hope you like the title 🙈😂😂

Amazing, congratulations @purpleskyssssss made up for you! 💕 Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Thanks @Squiff70 just wish I knew what was going on never had this before a period before so new to me

Congratulations @purpleskyssssss

@purpleskyssssss congrats, how exciting! 🎉🎉🎉

@Donthaveaclue1 so sorry you're feeling rubbish sending love x

Hey all, so can someone give me some practical advice re Preseed, pls? (sorry if the next few sentences are TMI!)
I have it, but I have been using it but as an external lubricant because I haven't been able to figure out how/when to use the long bits it came with. If someone has used it internally, how do you...do it? Like, at what point do you apply it? It feels kinda awkward to stop when things are getting hot and heavy to fiddle with it...do you do it beforehand? How do you go about it? Also how much do you use? The leaflet says 2-3 ml but that seems like a LOT.
Would honestly appreciate any advice, as I think I can definitely benefit from using it as it's supposed to be used, but just can't figure out how to work it into the BD process...

@Danani I basically insert it internally before I even go into our bedroom so DH doesn't know I've used it. Although I did tell him the first time I used it just in case it gave DH a reaction or anything. I have to lay down to insert it though so usually sneakily do this in our spare room whilst DH is getting ready for bed 😂 glamorous!

The only issue I find with preseed is that the next day it ... erm... comes out... and so I struggle to judge if I'm having EWCM/watery cervical mucus or whether it's the previous night's preseed coming out.... if that makes sense.

Hi @danani

I put it in before we get busyyyyy and don't measure just shove a load in! Haha

Just had some spotting CD28 boooo think it's too late for implantation now as my cycles are 30 days and I ovulated on the 16/17th so I'm 11/12 dpo

I feel like AF is coming you know when you know

Bleugh

Thankyou all x

@Danani I also put in before hand - I used to put about 1.5ml in but never exact. I also would only use it when I know I was in my fertile week as the first month i went through it so fast and it's not cheap!

Sorry to hear that @ViL89 - I know it's hard but fingers crossed for you, not out till she shows herself fully xx

@ViL89 'don't measure just shove a load in!' Made me laugh 🤣 it's so true.. I don't measure it either, just suck some up and get it up there 😂😅

I really hope it isn't AF starting for you 😕

Congratulations @purpleskyssssss that's fantastic news! Gives me hope after a year trying, thanks for all of the tips 👐

I'm glad you asked about preseed @Danani I was wondering exact same thing 😂

I really don't know what my body is doing. AF finished last Monday/Tuesday and I've just started bleeding again 🤔

@Squiff70 I had something like this 5days after my period finished I had bleeding but was only one time in the evening by the next day it stopped again
Is it a lot? Or light?

@hopefulmumma90 it's quite a lot and I have cramps too.

@Squiff70 I had random bleeding in all of July August and a bit in September. It was like having 2 periods so frustrating for you hopefully its a one off xx

@Danani I had the same issues re PreSeed.

I try and put it in before approaching DP so he doesn't know...otherwise it's a bit off-putting! However, I've put a bit much in a couple of times and it has made it really difficult for him so I only use a tiny bit. It's potent so defo don't use as much as it says.

Awww I knew I could rely on you lot for some help in that department! Thanks for the info @lemons44 @ViL89 @purpleskyssssss!
I will try to try that next week which is also going to be my fertile week 😁😬
I’m on CD 7 here and time has been going kinda slow although nowhere near as slow as it goes in the TWW! I’ve started using the easy @ home OPKs from CD5 and they have been low at 0.13/0.14, and today’s is 0.32 (although I forgot about it for a good couple of hours and just scanned it!) - would this make the line darker and the reading higher? My O is predicted for next weekend , so would be very surprised if I am already at 0.32!

Thank you @LittleMysSister!! X

Hi @Danani ! I see you all geared up this cycle😀I’ve only done my first OPK this morning which was 0.13 apparently and I’m CD10, due to ovulate sometime between Sunday and Wednesday? Last cycle I went from low to peak within 12 hrs so I’m testing 3 times a day now😅 #poasaddict

I’m a bit confused as to how the cycle tracking apps are predicting the O - if I ovulated CD13 last cycle why does Fertility Friend says it’s going to be on CD15 this time? How does it know this cycle is going to be longer than the previous one? 😆

Im with you both on the ovulation early next week / opk chat @Mummytobe93 @Danani It’s my first time using the easy@home tests and I started using them the day after AF finished so I could get a proper look at my cycle. My apps (3 different ones 😂) say I’m at the start of my fertile window today, due to ovulate on Tuesday / Wednesday and my readings are still really low. Is this normal? I do think I peak quite quickly so I’ve started testing twice a day but unsure what times are best to test. Every cycle I try tell myself to be more chilled with it yet here I am obsessively looking at these numbers 😂

Can somebody tell me if you have to pay to use the Premom app with the Easy@home OPKs please?

@Squiff70 I haven’t paid to use it. I just use the free bit ☺️

Thanks @Coco9910! How do you just use the free bit? Do you have to sign up?

Congratulations @purpleskyssssss so lovely to hear good news.
