TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@MrsGrealish oh no, sorry about that. TTC really kills any passion, doesn't it. I even went as far as getting a perfume with pheromones to, ahem, help things along. It's arriving today, will hope to give it a try tonight 🙈
Usually we are once a week kinda couple, trying to DTD more frequently is a real chore.

@Mc3209 I don't even know how to play this one tonight..give him a cup and tell him to crack on 😅 I will keep you ladies updated 😂

@MrsGrealish we had that for the past 2 months on peak days too🤣 makes me so furious with him out of all days in the month...

@MrsGrealish @Kitty901 @Mc3209 gosh ladies I'm glad it's not just my DH 😂drives me mental, I don't even tell him what days are 'good' but I swear he just knows I'm up to something 😆subconsciously puts the pressure on and of course he struggles to finish around those times. following week - no problem! haha

@MrsGrealish I'm sorry, I think we've all had that at some point with our partners whole TTC - it's the pressure! So annoying though when it happens as you know you're on the clock!

@Kitty901 i feel the same with this short luteal phase pregnancy seems impossible, i posted my blood test today i will let you know if theres anything useful there
@MrsGrealish this was so frustrating for us too, hes never had any problems suddenly we say we are ttc and that’s it. Biggest killer in the bedroom. Being on month 7, we tried to relax and forget about it as we were both fed up and now he's okay again. I didn’t even tell him the peak days but i think just knowing your are ttc killed it for my OH

@MrsGrealish so sorry to hear Mr G wasn’t on top form! Definitely agree with TTC and passion not being greatly aligned!!

I actually have a couple friends who tried the ‘finishing’ in a cup method then they syringed themselves. They found it was more successful!!! I know they kept themselves in the perfect position and had legs in The air for 30 mins after and both friends fell pregnant first time!

@Hjudge56 swear to god he just won't do that. So frustrating 🤯 I'm perfectly happy with this solution. But something will have to give tonight. Still masses of EWCM so I don't think I'm too late..yet..🙏

@RosyappleA how long is your LP and what tests did you do? I have been taking vit b6 and c but no luck. Thinking whether to give my private gynecologists a call and ask for an advice. Won't even bother with the GP as they are terrible and we already have 1 child so they would send me away.

@Kitty901 since the miscarriage rarely can get to 10 days. Seems to be even shorter now at 8 days. Ive got a day 21 progesterone test coming now so i will see what that says. After i will book a private ultrasound. If anything comes up i will take all this to my GP and let you know what they say. Im worried because with my miscarriage i had continuous bleeding which makes me think it was the low progesterone and even if i do by some miracle conceive again the same thing is likely to happen :(

@Hjudge56 i have heard about that and initially thought no way but now at 7 months i am warming to the idea lol. I will give myself 5 more months though.

@MrsGrealish yes I think it’s a different concept for many people but I’ve said to myself if it’s been a while TTC I will maybe mix it up and give it a go!! I’ve read about a few success stories online too!

@RosyappleA yeah the reason my friends did it was because they’d been trying for a year/ 18 months and when they did it they conceived first time!!

So so behind on here! DS had a bit of a bug so had my hands full!

Slight change to the POA - going to try to DTD for 7 days straight (which I think is going to be tough!) Also recommended by my GP! I burst out laughing at first actually thought it was a joke hahaaa. Is this even possible?!

@RMS0209 Royal Jelly pills are massive so not the nicest to take but even my GP recommended them so 🤞 it works!

@MrsGrealish TTC is the biggest passion killer for sure! Feel bad for the guys in a way - we don't have to even be turned on 😂 I've just bought preseed lube (£18 ffs) for precisely this reason! EWCM is a great sign so hopefully tonight will be the night! Sounds really random but sometimes I think a different room in the house/scenario can help? When I dint think my OH is in the mood a bit of kitchen dancing changes his mind 😉

CD6 today so will start OPKs tomorrow. Trying premom ones - anyone's used them before?

@MeganMama28 I feel your pain at the £18 for preseed, I bought some this month and annoyingly it arrived the day after I ovulated 😩😂

@Kitchiekobo have you got an update! Would love to hear where you’re at?

@MeganMama28 7 days straight?! My gosh! That is some serious stamina 😂re your 'different room' comment I completely agree.. in fact I've told DH that when we move into our (finally) renovated house next week I fully expect him to DTD in every room of the house over my next FW (if we're not lucky this time, otherwise he can choose the time haha) - apologies for the TMI all!

@MrsGrealish hope tonight is the winner 😊very jealous that you get obvious O symptoms like ewcm!

I am going to book an appointment with the gynecologists as it is really worrying me. I will probably book one for next week after my period has finished in case she wants to do a check up there. (i suppose AF will come again although i am only 8dpo). I will let you know what she says.
She's helped me in the past, when i got pregnant with our ds and was bleeding the GP turned me away but she's prescribed some pills to help me keep the baby that i was taking during the first trimester. So i have faith in her!

Well ladies! As you know after the faint positive lines yesterday afternoon there’s been no positives today! I thought I could see a faint line on another cheapie but it was so faint there’s no point even giving hope there 😂!

still no sign of AF! And I’ve got classic early pregnancy symptoms (sore swollen breasts, dragging sensation in uterus, fatigue) usually I’m very much on the dot of a 24-25 day cycle and today is 27 so god knows what’s going on!

if anyone has any words of wisdom or stories of people who test later than most please feel free to share! 🤣

@MeganMama28 😂😂😂 honestly a fabulous idea but I've 2 teenagers at home and can't see that working😂 Still to bring up the cup idea tonight..he was not keen last night🙈

@MrsGrealish good luck with the cup idea!!!

@Hjudge56 guarantee I'll be on the ttc june thread.

@MrsGrealish i think I will be too by the looks of things!!

Well it seems covid isn't done with messing up my cycles! Cycle #2 TTC and ironically cycle #2 since having covid. Had 3 days of AF now seems I've started again on CD6?!

Really had enough. I know it's ridiculous but I can't stop crying. Just have no clue what is going on with my body.

@MrsGrealish thanks for making me laugh DEFINITELY not a good idea with teenagers in the house 😅 ! Hope he is persuaded with the cup sounds like a good plan

Ladies I know everyone is different BUT

does Ewcm occur on the day you ovulate or a couple days before?

@Hjudge56 I've had it 3 days but more noticeable today and I can feel my right ovary start to cramp now..another eggo wasted 😕
