Merry Christmas ladies, I've just woken up for a bath, my doggy bag dinner and then back to work later. Hope you're all having a lovely day x
So DHs ED problem was short lived, think he was just really tired....only for there to be seemingly nothing when he finished today Xmas Confused.. TMI but usually even if I stay horizontal for a bit afterwards, there is inevitably some leakage when I get up to go to the loo. Today.. nothing at all. Has anyone else ever experienced this. Is it possible that there was just very little and my body kept it all?! Or have we got a new issue to contend with?

Either way fertile window now over so adding myself to the calendar in hope. Will only be testing after AF is late.

Merry Christmas everyone. Weve had a lovely day and I'm feeling very happy and content. A little sad that 3 people i know have announced pregnancies today on social media, mostly sad at myself for being jealous because I shouldnt be. These are all people who have had real hardships the last year or so and so this is lovely news for them, I really shouldn't feel jealous because I have such a wonderful life. Just hope it isnt another 6 months ot more until it's me.

SkaterChick · 25/12/2021 18:40

Merry Christmas everyone!

@Nico89 did finish? Have an orgasm and all that?
Once or twice I've once been able to give my partner an ejaculation free orgasm, I'm not really sure on the ins and outs but I'd heard about it through a friend and it's apparently a thing! Maybe that happened?

I'm finally feeling better from this awful cold flu thing, partner has no covid symptoms but he's in COVID jail till end of the month. My PCR was negative so somehow dodged it!
Got some ewcm this morning, was wondering where my ovualtion symptoms were! Haven't done an opk yet. I'll do that shortly :) but we dtd this afternoon, hopefully fit some more in tomorrow and Monday to try and make the most!

madeleine85 · 25/12/2021 19:01

@Nico89 this cycle we dtd 3 times and the one the day before o I was convinced he faked it as there was nothing, it was bizarre... I got a BFP though so feeling a little bad for my thoughts lol. Guessing it can be different for guys each time 🤷‍♀️

Nico89 · 25/12/2021 20:23

@SkaterChick @madeleine85 yep finished and he was none the wiser. I asked him as was concerned that he had been unable to because of the stress of worrying about before and he looked genuinely shocked when I explained there was no evidence. So who knows? I did do some research earlier and read about male orgasm without ejaculation (poor Google!!) I didn't even know it was a thing.
That said much later this evening there was some discharge that wasn't typical of what I would expect from me at this time so I'm now wondering of it was just a smaller quantity and deposited quite high up. Even if this is not the case this is what I have told DH as I don't want him to be quietly worrying about it and it be bothering him and making matters worse. If it happens again then I will advise we get it checked but he is under strict instructions now to keep better hydrated!!

Nico89 · 25/12/2021 20:27

@PoleFairy I understand this don't feel bad. Last year we were going to start our TTC journey but bad health and covid got in the way so we put it off. At the same time an ex announced they were expecting and I took it really badly. You are allowed to be happy for them and still feel jealousy, your feelings are valid too and it doesn't mean you don't feel happy for them. Emotions are complex and rubbish. Sending you hugs and good luck for it being your turn soon 💗

Hi ladies. I've been drinking so much these last couple of days. The BFNs have really put me down lately and I felt like I didn't care. I'm just venting right now but I know what I've done is not the right thing :(
This journey can be so draining

@Nico89 lol if my Google history from this ever got published I think I’d die from embarrassment/be offered a career as a fertility specialist 😂😂

@ttcbabya this is such a stressful time, and I think it’s the lack of control/what works for one doesn’t work for all that’s rotten. I think it’s something like 80% or more get pregnant within 12 months, so know the odds are in your favour. It just feels like time is standing still while going through ttc. Please focus on yourself/what you need. Everyone is here to talk if you ever need to vent on these threads. You’re definitely in good company here x

Chanel05 · 26/12/2021 08:07

Hello can I join? I'm on cycle 3 of ttc #2. My af is due on 7th January! Currently 4dpo. If successful this month, the due date would be the same as my dd's due date for when I had her 😂.

chailatte28 · 26/12/2021 08:23

Hope you don't mind if I join! I'm 28 TTC baby #1. On CD18 and finally ovulating today (I have a 28-30 day cycle so was expecting it earlier! We DTD every day until yesterday when Christmas took over but will obviously be DTD today!
Wishing you all luck ✨

arianasky · 26/12/2021 08:53

@ttcbabya I've also had a fair few drinks over Christmas it's been such an awful year 😞 I'm hoping and praying next year is all of our year when it comes to getting our little angels 💕

Shortmamashortcycles · 26/12/2021 09:03

Well, AF arrived this morning after spotting and some incredibly painful cramps yesterday - what a rotten Xmas present.

Have had a good cry and trying to pick myself up for 2022. I'm not going to add myself to the testing calendar because AF usually arrives before I manage to pee on anything, but will prob be quiet until lateish in the month.

Good luck everyone testing in the next couple of weeks!

Tor88 · 26/12/2021 10:44

@Shortmamashortcycles I'm so sorry 💔 it's a brutal process (I think this will be me on new years day). Sending you lots of love and strength, your time will come.

Could I ask the mamma's on this thread who had already had babies - did any of you experience zero signs of implantation, yet still be pregnant?? Last month I had every sign in the book (all of them) and wasn't. This month I've been much more dedicated with my tracking, timings and dtd. I'm now 9DPO and have experienced nothing that could be any sign at all. Just curious...

muddypuddlejumping · 26/12/2021 10:47

@Tor88 with my first I absolutely felt implantation and it was my first month ttc.
With my second it took months and on the month of conceiving, I had absolutely no idea and felt no implantation at all. In fact I was adement that I hadn't conceived! Two very different experiences.

kizzy97 · 26/12/2021 11:27

@Tor88 with my DS I didn't notice, but I wasn't actually looking for anything because I wasn't trying and I didn't find out until I was already 5 weeks, sorry if that's not much help xx

Tor88 · 26/12/2021 11:43

@muddypuddlejumping @kizzy97 thanks so much that's super helpful!! My experience this month is at least reassuring me that it probably wasn't phantom symptoms last month (my theory is I had a failed implantation last time because I had implantation cramps followed by 2 days of nausea and AF was 3 days late). So far nothing this time, but won't count my self out just yet!!

oldermam · 26/12/2021 12:19

I'm
Moving over ladies, af just arrived. A day early. Good luck all!

kizzy97 · 26/12/2021 12:41

Ahh sorry @oldermam fingers crossed for this cycle!

ThePodParent · 26/12/2021 13:56

@Tor88 I didn’t have any symptoms of implantation itself last time, but from about 8 or 9dpo had a really sore chest and got dizzy when I stood up and then about 11dpo started to wake up feeling hungover, despite not drinking 🧐🧐🧐 Wonder whether it will be the same again!

Timeaftertime21 · 26/12/2021 14:23

Hi Ladies, I'm hopping over from the December thread. According to my Ovusense bracelet I am 6dpo and today I had a sudden whoosh of very wet watery and some creamy cm. This was a bit of a surprise as I'm usually very dry post ovulation. Will wait to see what happens. Hope everyone is okay and had a lovely Christmas.
