TTC APRIL

[RMS0209]

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

@Longbin Oh I’m sorry things are so tough, goodness knows what our bodies do sometimes. I’m in a similar boat with health issues unrelated to TTC, can be so hard getting answers.

@Mamabof2 Congrats! That’s so exciting 🥰

@alwaysseeingstars oh my DH is exactly the same. I think I showed him the device and he's like nope. But couldn't get it In easily anyway.

Has anyone done any OPKs yet that they can share? Mine has gone high again randomly🤷‍♀️

Sorry just home from work and read a couple of posts will read properly later when hubby stops looking at me and kids get sorted xx

Brilliant news @Mamabof2 - anything you did differently this month....?

@Tigergirl37 we only dtd twice in fw last time 2 days before peak but it was our wedding anniversary so I was very relaxed and spoilt that weekend!

Just goes to show how much the earlier days help!

@MrsGrealish I can share last months OPKS if that's any help x

@Mamabof2 congratulations! X

@MrsGrealish what CD are you?

@RSmamaa CD12 x and yes please @RMS0209 🙏

@MrsGrealish I was going to say it's a sign of pregnancy but not that early haha. I'm not great at this stuff sorry

@RSmamaa haha if only..it's a nightmare doing them in work. One toilet and always someone having a meltdown in there atm. So I went back to check on it and it possibly dried darker. If DH is up for it I'll keep going but 3 nights in a row is ridiculous 🤣

@MrsGrealish

@MrsGrealish haha feel you on that one we DTD 3 nights in a row too this cycle and we had to give ourselves a night off because we were sore 😂😂 it was the big O day too so that was annoying but we got one in the next day so 🤞🏼 they stuck around

@MrsGrealish these are this months

@RMS0209 I actually sat down with DH on sat and was like, wed, Fri and Sat of this week, I'm gonna need you to be available lol... Get the calendar out of my head and into his too!

OPKs just started and blank circle at the mo, hoping to ovulate Saturday so hoping for at least a flashing smiley tomorrow FINGERS CROSSED. I had acupuncture today so hoping that gets the ovulation going now I tested neg for covid!

Is the fertility cup the one you keen in after sex to keep the, ahem, swimmers in?

Oops missed pages of chat ha!

@RMS0209 thank you! That helps mine look relatively normal☺️

@RSmamaa I'm defo going for a break tonight. Shattered and sore. Back at it tomorrow xx I meant to ask though what CD you are on? I saw the test you posted and I can defo see a hint of something?

@MO22 yep such a sexy wee device😆

Gosh this chat moves quickly!! 🤣

Thought about a fertility cup but sometimes I wonder if doing or changing too much might actually just end up confusing things!

@MO22 ha that’s the exact conversation I had with my DH. Most sceduled sex ever! Hope you get your flashy face tomorrow

massive congratulations @Mamabof2 hope everything goes well for you! ✨

I’ll send my opks @MrsGrealish! Think I’ve peaked today but guess I’ll find out tomorrow and see if they come down.

@MrsGrealish opks ☺️

@MrsGrealish Don't blame you. I'm on CD27 now. AF is due around 10th

@Hello47 thanks lovely xx gonna keep going with the OPKs till the end of the week I think

@Hello47 OPK's looking good.. make sure you are dancing tonight!!

@MO22 haha I like that plan, just waiting for OH to come sit down and will go through next weeks (and late this weeks) plan with him, better when they know just don't want to stress him out we don't need stage fright
Fingers crossed! My clear blue last 2 months went from O straight to peak - VERY annoying.
How did you find the acupuncture? I have reflexology tomorrow looking forward.

Haha correct about the cup, to scared to use it!! X

@Hello47 I find it's good for him to gear up lol, give him all the info upfront! We did three days in a row last fertile window and we were both over it by the end, so trying every other day this time around.

Do you guys test more than once a day when you're close to peak? Maybe I should try that...

@RMS0209 when do you usually ovulate, so jealous of your shorter cycle if it's coming up next week!

Are you using the purple clear blue or pink? I switched to purple at the start of the year and had some wild flashy faces for 10 days at first, but finally hit the static and it seems to have settled down now.

Acupuncture was fine I think, not sure what to expect? Am I pregnant yet lol?

@MO22 my hubby was warned every other day this week but Saturday was so (god I dunno how to put this politely) crap? (I think I was stressing too much) that we DTD Sunday too.

Thank god for internet anonymity 😂
