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

Got a better line..

Fully recommend the vitamins! Xx

Woo well done @MrsGrealish that's fab!

How is everyone today, I hate this TWW every day seems to just drag and it's so hard to distract myself to thinking about anything else 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3DPO and I'm already symptom spotting that I've got some lower back ache and my uterus feels heavy 😂 officially lost the plot

@allthingssparkly - i just take Boots Folic Acid 400ug x

@allthingssparkly I do use the Seven Seas ones, they were recommended by the GP. I like them as they're really small :)
Am definitely tempted by the Wild ones @MrsGrealish uses, especially after seeing today's test! Congratulations lovely, keeping fingers crossed xx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you!! It's was super blue and showed up instantly..praying it sticks! iPhone does it no justice

They are like horse tablets and smell weird but I think DH taking them make all the difference xx

Thanks @MrsGrealish

How long have you both been taking them for? I think I will give them a go!

@MrsGrealish I know what you mean, when I got my positives it was so different between real life and the photos! But that is wonderful, how many DPO are you?
Boots are out of stock of the male ones currently, how many people have read your recommendation? 😂

@QueenBee22 I ordered them online and they took at least a week so ended up arriving after I ovulated early April. I ended up making a complaint and they arrived the next day🧐

Me and DH both started around the 6 April. That cycle was negative. Too late to do any good especially for him. Kept taking them I ovulated on 27 April and got an actual convincing positive today! I've been trying since January xx

Praying for a sticky bean now xx

@alwaysseeingstars AF due on Thursday (I normally ovulate early) so 4 weeks from lmp is actually this Saturday but I always have a 26 day cycle. Not sure anyone considers that when calculating due dates 🤷‍♀️ xx

All my babies have been at least a week early x

@MrsGrealish oh what a lovely start to your hols 😘

@MrsGrealish you just visiting pharmacy's on holiday picking up tests? haha I love it! congratulations which a great line, fingers crossed for a sticky bean xx

What's the name of the male ones? I cant seem to get the photo to go big on the computer grr, found the female ones! xx

@MrsGrealish thank you I have just ordered them so hopefully they come soon I am not due to ovulate for another 2 weeks as my cycles are quite long-35 days on average so hopefully they will have some effect by the time ovulation comes around!

Fingers crossed for you, congratulations again it is great to see good news on the thread xx

Ignore me I found the male... duh! x

@QueenBee22 where did you get? boots only have female ones for me :( x

@alwaysseeingstars thank you!!

@RMS0209 gotta check out the competition 😂 no I sent DH out I do not want to be near a pharmacy on holiday so he was sent out with strict instructions (mainly buy a 2 pack)
Vitamins for the man are 'bespoke man-food grown fertility' xx

@QueenBee22 thank u xx can't actually believe it..only symptom was a weird stitch like cramp on one side a couple days ago. Fx little bean sticks xx

@RMS0209 my local health food shop have them! Maybe try some near you hopefully they might have them too x

Hey @Peonies94 was just reading through and saw your message from a couple of days ago! Wow 16 months, that must be tough. But amazing news if your cycles are becoming more regular! Any sign of ovulation yet?
@Tropicana1 the TWW really does mess with your head doesn't it!!

Thank you @alwaysseeingstars have you fallen pregnant since taking them? X

@allthingssparkly yep, I had a chemical in March 3 months after starting taking them. My friend also got pregnant on them, luckily a healthy little boy x

Fell asleep and forgot to call my OH to bed as he’d already fallen asleep there 😂. He later came and woke me up though so i believe i am now officially done as it was ovulation day. Any more dtd and I may just end up bedridden.
Also my libido has suddenly completely disappeared anyone notice a sudden change post ovulation?
Will try those vitamins for him although itll take him some convincing to take them.

@alwaysseeingstars it is tough? But also not half as bad as others so I feel for others! Not quite, but hoping I’ll see it in the next day, if not I think it was definitely a false positive!

@Tropicana1 yeah it definitely sounds like it's worth it to keep trying even after you think you've ovulated. Unfortunately my OH wasn't feeling it last night so hoping either peak day or the day after caught it as that's all we managed in this fertile window. Hope you had better luck pouncing on your OH 😂

@Kitty901 thanks for sharing the outcome of your appointment, sounds promising that they were able to give you a reason behind it all so hopefully the treatment will sort it for you 🤞

@MrsGrealish so excited for you!!

@Nyxxie we did manage to DTD but it was full on lazy spoon position minimal effort minimal time 🤣🤣 anyway at least we got another one in even if it was maybe a day late
From what I've read the main benefit of a pre ov DTD is the sperm have time to travel right up the Fallopian tube to be ready and waiting for when the egg is released. Now I'm just imagining all these little sperm just sitting around up there waiting for an egg! I have genuinely lost the plot, was at work all day like "yup feel a bit nauseous, must be pregnant" at 3DPO

@Tropicana1 haha lazy spoon 🤣 Still counts! I know what you mean, I just somehow never have faith that the little swimmers will really survive that long though! And like, what if they get there and there's no egg so they turn around and go back? 🤔😝 I am with you in the TWW craziness, trying to resist the urge to Google every little thing my body does followed by DPO 🤪 2DPO today I think.
