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

I had a smear on the day I ovulated when I got pregnant with DD! So assume it’s fine!

I had one question couple of weeks ago and am now pregnant. They don't recommend it during pregnancy so I'd do it ASAP if I were you.

Keeping everything crossed for you @MrsGrealish

@MrsGrealish eeeek!! Those are exciting tests! 🥰
@Changingdirections I had my smear when 5 weeks pregnant with my son, all went fine (my bit of anecdotal evidence).
@RMS0209 I am feeling a bit nauseous,but not sure if it's my mind playing tricks. Not testing until Wednesday..

@Mc3209 ahh good luck @Mc3209 DH at the bathroom. Sneaking a message in😂 can't expect me to go cold turkey

@MrsGrealish Can totally picture you with your sly visits to Mumsnet😂

@pocketbunny he's asleep and I'm on it now😂 MN addiction is real. He woke me up with his snoring what's a girl to do 🤷‍♀️

Hello again, been away for a bit due to a never ending bathroom refurbishing and lots of pending dental work plus having my wisdoms out. Good job I am getting it out of the way i guess though.
Big congrats with the BFP @MrsGrealish any idea which days sealed the deal for you? I am looking for excuses to skip tonight feel shattered 😂😅
Maybe I am stopping doing the deed too early also with this interesting talk here of ovulating well after a positive opk.
@Kitty901 thanks for the update, I always thought cysts affected cycle length and yours although short were very regular? At least your gyno seems really proactive. I too need to do something just waiting on my day 21 progesterone test to be done. My prolactin was normal a month after stopping breastfeeding which was reassuring. In the meantime just taking all these supplements with little hope. Gp will be my next call depending on that result.

@RosyappleA hi! I only properly DTD on day 8. Peaked on day 10 and I don't think he finished 🙈🙄 (the pressure got to much for him he says🤨) and that was it! No DTD after that until tonight 🤷‍♀️

I bought wild health vitamins for us both 2 months ago and I think they must have made the swimmers super potent because I felt ovulation on day 11 and that's a good 4 days

@Kitty901 sorry to hear about the cysts but that's fab news in a way that they've found something, hopefully that'll be the answer and you won't have problems conceiving!
@RMS0209 glad AF properly arrived, nearly time for you to start again - very happy you're feeling ok about the last cycle too - onto the next one 💪
@MrsGrealish oh my gosh!! I am so excited for you! Sorry for only just catching up, been working over the weekend and trying failing to think about TTC. keeping fingers crossed for you, that would be SUCH amazing news xx

Hi! @alwaysseeingstars how are you doing?
Sorry I have been a bit quiet last few days, having up days and down days.. today is an up day though.
CD5 today.. AF should leave tomorrow (hopefully)
Where are you in cycle how you doing? x

@RMS0209 oh, sorry to hear you've been having down days! But happy today is an up :)
Same, I've been trying not to think about TTC for a few days as DH & I have so much going on at the mo, somehow the brain still allows time to think about a baby which is not v constructive!!
CD11 today, started the CB tests yesterday and both have been the blank circle, so going to skip a day or 2. Dreading the many days of flashing smiles when they appear...
Hope AF leaves for you by tomorrow :) x

@MrsGrealish what vitamins did you get for both of you?

@QueenBee22 @MrsGrealish she used the wild nutrition ones.. I have already been on looking haha.

Ooooh @allthingssparkly CD11 woo hoo, i try not to think about it I get a good 5 mins.. then I'm over it ha ha.
What is your plan this month? You were a late peaker last cycle too were you? I have the memory of a fish this week (im sorry!) x

@QueenBee22 ill send you a pic..pretty expensive but if they have worked it was money well spent xx

Hello @RMS0209 No I didn't peak late, I got a peak OPK on CD14 & BBT spike on CD16.

I'm not doing either this cycle and going with more of a relaxed approach rather than obsessing over a stick and temp 🤣

I will keep an eye on my CM and Ov Pain. I have no doubt I will ovulate around a similar time to last cycle just going to DTD every other day in my FW instead which is in 5 days time!

@RMS0209 yep, peak was on CD22 last month, I think 20 the month before. Hopefully won't keep pushing out later! :)
Ooh @MrsGrealish thanks for the heads up, online shopping about to start as I only have a few days left of the seven seas ones...

I meant to tag @alwaysseeingstars sorry @allthingssparkly ! x

I hope mines is a bit sooner this cycle! otherwise will make a long 10+ days after AF leaves! My premom seems to think CD19 this cycle, but we will see.
Tempted to try Mrs Grealish magic supplemets next cycle.... x

Oh apologies @RMS0209 🙈🙈🙈

@allthingssparkly that sounds like a great approach for this cycle, I'd love to say same..... but well I know I won't be able to haha.

sending you all the luck x

Thank you @RMS0209 I'm considering getting the Seven Seas - Trying for a baby vitamins to see if they help!

I wonder if anyone on here has tried them? 🤔

Hey everyone,
hope you dont mind me joining in, im not sure if im just being hyperaware of my body and never noticed it before my cycle started the 18th april and opk positive 2nd and 3rd and im guessing id ovulated the 4th, we dtd quite regularly. I have been having on off cramps and twinges since the 7th may and started lightly spotting since the 8th barely noticed it the 8th and then its be when i wipe very light brown passed two days and it isnt all the time sorry tmi, im not due on until 18th may surely this is too early for period or ib as im like clockwork?

anyway ive had a lower back aches, mild cramping some times shooting pains but very short lived and a cold since the 8th which is easing off and headaches all day yesterday i feel so rundown in myself and i know its too early for symptoms of pregnancy but anyone else feel like this or is it all just a coincidence and im ill😂

I think.. @alwaysseeingstars uses them?? @allthingssparkly I used the wellwoman but I think that's what delayed ovulation so i'm just on folic acid now, but if needed next cycle thinking of trying the wild nutrition ones x

Hmm, maybe I just take folic acid then instead. Don't want anything potentially messing my cycles up.

How many mg of FA do you take @RMS0209? X
