Thanks @Ganesh2022 ❤️

Hiya all just joining on 💕

calimc83 · 08/02/2022 21:39

@Ganesh2022 Thanks for that. I spoke to my GP yest and she seemed to think counselling was the way forward for me and to avoid medication if TTC. Yeah my poor DH got it in the neck at the weekend 🙈 xx

Ganesh2022 · 08/02/2022 21:45

@calimc83 It takes a toll doesn't it...I act like a nutter and then expect that he'll want to DTD on command. Yeeesh. Really hope the counselling goes well; I think the right person can make a huge difference.

Apropos of nothing...my friends are a same-sex couple trying to conceive and I know that brings its own stresses but I'm super interested in what it's like when sex (for whatever reason..same sex, fertility help, etc) is a a known separate thing from trying to conceive (within TTC obviously...I used to be a person who had sex for fun...lol).

aesgriff · 08/02/2022 21:51

@Ganesh2022 act like a nutter then expect he’ll DTD on command 🤣🤣 this had me as it was like writing in a diary! I am soooo guilty of this. We fell out over it this month. I suppose if I was being asked to orgasm on demand I’d find it hard too xx

@MO22 I’m going away thurs - Sun so hoping it’ll take my mind off things. I’m deffo only testing if I am not spotting. Temping was horrible as it disrupted my sleep so much and also when my temp was still high but BFN it was soul destroying thinking I still had hope. Which OPKs do you use? Xx

@BlueForYou3 I’m going to try my hardest not to let my partner know when I get a positive OPK then try and go every other day for a few days from that xx

aesgriff · 08/02/2022 21:51

@Skl2021 oooh which cake do you have 🤩😍 I am a serious cake fan xx

PamelaDoov · 08/02/2022 21:54

@Skl2021 I guess I’m in the tww now! AF is due 2 days after my birthday…
So if I had a peak test yesterday morning and think ovulation was today, I hope we’ve done enough! DTD tonight and Sunday. Also last Wednesday but I don’t know if that sperm would last that long. We did do it last night but with no ‘finale’ unfortunately… I can imagine how difficult it must be for DH to feel the pressure of knowing he HAS to perform in order to get something we both want so badly. But at least tonight was a success.

MO22 · 08/02/2022 22:02

@Ganesh2022 @aesgriff I also hear you on the DTD stresses, as I had a bloody 9 day flashing smiley I was quite demanding and then I feel bad afterwards but also Im like THE WINDOW IS SO SHORT and 9 days later he was like, is it really that short??

I forgot, it must be so hard to always perform when we demand it for TTC... But my obsession makes me probably quite unpleasant to be around. We are enjoying the first week of the TWW by having zero sex ha.

@aesgriff - great shout to go away, such a good distraction. Leave all the tests behind! I use clear blue purple and pink, with a boots own thrown in for the mania. To be honest I'm thinking about just been doing the pink static smiley as it makes me less mad, the flashy one is a bit much. I also always assume I have one LH surge, PCOS be damned, I can't be testing after I've had a static. I just blindly hope my PCOS is mild enough given I have regular 33-5 day ish cycles (with some supplement help now I'm not on metaformin!) What about you?

PamelaDoov · 08/02/2022 22:04

@MO22 I’m so excited to not have sex this week 😂

Skl2021 · 08/02/2022 22:05

@aesgriff haha nothing extravagant 🙈 it was a galaxy traybake! I'm quite boring when it comes to cake I just like simple and chocolate 🤣😁 xx

@PamelaDoov yess welcome to the tww!! Hope it goes quickly for you 🙊 so glad your finally there!! Yes must be horrible for them with all the pressure! I know some people don't mention ovulation for that reason! X

@PamelaDoov and a bfp would be a lovely birthday present 🤞🙊 xx

@PamelaDoov honestly it's a delight. I'm in bed with a tea and thrilled lol

Cruz86 · 08/02/2022 22:10

Oops I replied on the old thread, not realising a full blown conversation was taking place here 😂

Ganesh2022 · 08/02/2022 22:19

@aesgriff I need to do that, too, instead of thrusting the OPK in his face.

@PamelaDoov So hoping you get the best bday present ever.

PamelaDoov · 08/02/2022 22:21

@Ganesh2022 thank you, I’m really nervous already 😂 and I’ve got 2 weeks of this! But at least with it being my birthday I’ve got other things to look forward to over the next couple of weeks so that should take my mind off it and help the time go quicker

Ganesh2022 · 08/02/2022 22:22

@JuniperAndTonic thinking of you.

Goodnight everyone! Thanks as always for helping make this such a supportive space.

calimc83 · 08/02/2022 22:26

@Ganesh2022 re your friends/IVF etc...Ive never really thought about it that way actually...interesting point! X

JuniperAndTonic · 08/02/2022 23:05

Found the new thread! Thanks for all the hand holds, really needed them 🥺

Just got home, they did an abdominal scan in A&E, saw a sac and a bit of bleeding but not much else which he said can be normal at this stage. Got a scan booked in EPAU on Friday - it’ll be a nervous wait until then!

Skl2021 · 08/02/2022 23:24

@JuniperAndTonic I'm keeping Everything crossed for you! Such a stressful time but try and take care of yourself. Praying it's good news 🤞 were all here for you 💞 xx

@JuniperAndTonic fingers crossed and praying for you 🤞 Hope everything goes well 💕

BlueForYou3 · 09/02/2022 07:12

@JuniperAndTonic Take it easy for the next couple of days if you can. I’ll be keeping everything crossed that you get some positive news on Friday Flowers x

MO22 · 09/02/2022 07:16

@JuniperAndTonic fingers crossed for you, not to long until Friday 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Morning all, how is everyone feeling?
I'm 7 DPO and felt queasy last night going to sleep, and I've got some very low level cramps but I also wonder if maybe I'm imagining them. 5 days until I think I'll test, feels like a marathon.
