@Ladylou17 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc @FlipperyGibbet

Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

[Ladylou17]

@FlyOnTheWall89 crossing my fingers for you. Maybe try dtd every 3 days to give time in between to help with count?
Good luck @Mama500 @Lucyasc @Cruz86 I have a good feeling for February ❤️
I feel like I'm about to ovulate all signs but no positive opk yet, maybe tomorrow. We're trying to be more chilled this month so taking it easy and as less stress as possible but completing my masters and dog is poorly which isn't helping.
Hope you are all ok xx

[Mama500]

Thank you @Ladylou17

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that! Although O Round the corner is good news

Is your dog ok x

[Mama500]

Also how amazing completing your masters @l

[Ladylou17]

Thanks @Mama500 can't wait for it to be over. He's not great to be honest but hoping he'll sort himself out, how are you feeling?xx

[FlyOnTheWall89]

Keeping everything crossed for you @Ladylou17 and hope the doggie gets better! I can't keep him off me atm 😂, 48hrs will have to do. I think it's fairly unlikely anyway so kind of not even thinking these few months should have any plan at all. X

[FlyOnTheWall89]

Also @Ladylou17 I think we are exactly in time this month. I think I'll ovulate tomorrow but not OPKing so that is just based on my app prediction! X

[Mama500]

@Ladylou17 I find my dog being ill so stressful as well.

I’m good thanks, I’m actually 7dpo! X

[Ladylou17]

@Mama500 oh that's exciting. Are you going to test this month or wait to see if AF shows?
Yes I hate it too can't stop thinking about him, poor little guy.
@FlyOnTheWall89 oh good! Well you know what they say sometimes having no plan is the best way :) xx

[Mama500]

@Ladylou17 I have no idea everyday I’m talking myself out of testing. I’ve felt really confident this month but as it gets closer I’m not sure

When’s the earliest I can test. Should I wait 🙈

[Ladylou17]

I do that too @Mama500 it's so hard isn't it well done for not early testing! I would wait till 9dpo. Sounds like all positive signs 😊 xx

[Lucyasc]

Hopes everyone is doing ok? FW is already challenging for me, me and my partner decided to DTD every other day told him I'm predicted to ovulate Saturday but I've had eggwhite CM today so I said we better DTD tonight. He stays up too late watching TV and here I am in bed whilst he's asleep no TTC tonight, am I being too harsh? It's really got me upset I'm so desperate for us to get pregnant I wanted to listen to my body this month rather than the app which he doesn't seem to understand 😔

[Lucyasc]

@Mama500 fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏻*@Ladylou17* thank you for your positive wishes 😊 x

[FlyOnTheWall89]

Oooooo so frustrating @Lucyasc - the disparity between how men and women approach TTC fascinates me. If it is any consolation, EWCM could be present for days before you ovulate! I get it 5, even sometimes 7 days before! Try today (hoping you work from home) and then tomorrow night - that leaves 36 hrs? X

[Mama500]

So frustrating @Lucyasc but like @FlyOnTheWall89 you still have lots of chances.

How would DH react if you woke him to DTD x

[Lucyasc]

@FlyOnTheWall89 thanks that does make me feel better! I'm at the office today and he can't WFH so will have to hope we can DTD tonight 🤞🏻
@Mama500 he wouldn't react well lol, it's so hard I think it's so new to us still and I just want it so much which he does but just have to keep thinking positively and we still have a good window to try this week thanks all xx

[Ladylou17]

@Lucyasc I think men act so differently to us, I usually give my DH no choice or threaten not to cook dinner 😂 xx

[FlyOnTheWall89]

@Ladylou17 hahahaha

[Cruz86]

How frustrating that you get a detailed overview of everything but then nothing about what it means or what can be done about it @FlyOnTheWall89! I take it long term steps (that you hopefully won't have to take!) will be IUI? Good luck for this month. I am praying you get your bfp. And hopefully because you're not really thinking about it, it will just happen. Our bodies work in funny ways like that.

@Ladylou17 sorry to hear about your poorly dog. What breed is he? And you're doing a masters! Amazing. In what? I'm doing a distance learning degree and it is so tough fitting it in around work and family.

If you're 8dpo I definitely would've tested this morning @Mama500 😂😂 I have no self control!! Good luck!!!

@Lucyasc sorry to hear your fw isn't going how you'd like. What about spicing things up tonight? If he is tired why not try and catch him before you go up to bed? Jump on him downstairs and then he'll be in the mood. Don't let it get to the bed before you start! Hope you can dtd tonight.

My oh loves fw because it's the only time I have any libido hahaha x

[Mama500]

@Cruz86 so does mine but when it’s finished he says he feels used haha

I know usually I would of but I am trying to hold out and stay positive. It makes me feel down when I see a negative so I’m ticking along and trying to stay positive!!!!

How are you?

[FlyOnTheWall89]

@Cruz86 sadly it would be IVF with ICSI which is so scary and invasive and mentally consuming - I think with MFI it is maybe a bit more straightforward, but it's a minefield of info so I think I still have a lot more to learn. I don't think IUI would be an option. We will take a bit of time to just see what happens and improve with supplements but I'm not holding my breath!

The downstairs tactic is a very good on @Cruz86 ....hahaha sounds v practised. Defo try that @Lucyasc x

[Mama500]

@FlyOnTheWall89 thinking of you it’s a scary new world and I’m keeping all my fingers crossed x

[Lucyasc]

Thanks everyone will just have to DTD next few days and hope for the best!

@FlyOnTheWall89 hope you're ok thinking of you x

[Cruz86]

Hahaha yes mine does too @Mama500! So funny. And fair enough that you haven't tested yet. I find it okay to see negatives that early on so I test like mad 🤦🏼‍♀️ But completely understand why you're holding off.

Oh I see @FlyOnTheWall89, I'd never heard of that before! It must feel so overwhelming at the moment. Hopefully your referral comes through soon and you can start to get the ball rolling. I'm so glad you haven't left MN though.

😂😂😂 gotta do what you gotta do haven't you! It must be hard for the men, getting all the pressure from us, so anything to make it more fun! X

[Mama500]

I’m so scared to test I feel like I’ve invented my symptoms 😂 @Cruz86 haha how funny how they both play the used card.

It’s genuine though it’s libido like you say.

I’ve just had w share bag of crisps and a full fat coke quite unlike me haven’t done this on a lunch break since pregnancy.

[Lucyasc]

I've had confirmation we are going to DTD tonight so fingers crossed haha xx
