@Organictangerine lurking on this thread but hopping on to say I do very similar lol, lure him in with the BJ and then a quick hop on the end. Bish bash bosh.

So romantic 😂

Hope this isn’t TMI but I find it’s less pressure to give a BJ then just hop on near the end..! Keeping it casual means less stage fright than a pre-planned ‘session’ 😂

Hahah sounds like a day in the life of me in fertile week 😂

Oh tried that didnt work🤣 that is what happens when he gets overly excited! He then kept me up until midnight saying we should do the job 🤣 well i fall asleep in the end! To be honest it started well but i notice things go wrong everytime i put Preseed so i think i am going to stop it now

@MO22 @RMS0209 @Organictangerine 😂😂 this is me too..sorry haven't left the thread 😗

7dpo, boobs have been off and on tender, fairly common for me to get a sore left boob in TWW. Felt a bit crampy in lower abdomen this morning and some back ache but probs looking into too much. Only have a 12 day LP so not much longer now

RosyappleA · 13/05/2022 23:31

@Kitty901 i also noticed the same when using preseed. He doesn’t like it otherwise he struggles to finish. Now i try to only use a tiny bit put it as far as I can, an hour before we actually DTD and things are a lot better.

PeanuttyButter · 14/05/2022 09:11

@Kitty901 @Organictangerine
Could never finish with pressed..too slippery he said. Also yup to the 'priming' before deposit haha

Decided to test with the clear blue weeks the stress of not testing was taking over the stress of a possible 2-3... and got my 3+ this morning. So happy as didn't really expect it.

Tropicana1 · 14/05/2022 09:47

@PeanuttyButter amazing!! So pleased 😃

Hjudge56 · 14/05/2022 09:58

Ladies- I’ve just got my peak today but doesn’t look like I’m going to have much luck with DTD today or tomorrow!

we have DTD on Tuesday, Wednesday and 8pm last night so do you think we have covered it!? So annoying!

pocketbunny · 14/05/2022 10:28

@MrsGrealish I wrote a message a few days ago and was so excited to see your follow up test (and now to see the newest one!!) And I said you had made my day! But then stupid MN took ages to post and when I refreshed my message was gone and I was too tired to rewrite it. Ugh! So, so excited for you though!! Hope you are making some nice memories on your holiday!

Good luck to everyone this month! Let's see some more positives!

I'm 7 weeks now and feel awful... Exhaustion I've never before experienced, morning sickness, cramping, painful, massive breasts... Blood tests were all good though, and not showing any deficiencies/ anemia so no quick fix for this tiredness unfortunately!

MrsGrealish · 14/05/2022 10:59

@pocketbunny ahh thank you so much ❤️ only 4+2 today so I'll maybe brave a digital later. I seem to wake up feeling really good then it goes way downhill about 3pm. The bloating though what on earth is that about😂😂I took a pic on my phone off my side profile 🙈
Yes fab holiday one I won't forget in a hurry xx glad you're having all the symptoms it's reassuring even thought it's horrible xx

Watched an interesting video on youtube last night (thought I had watched them all already!) about how the best thing you can do for progesterone is sleep! And sleeping after 10pm triggers another spike in cortisol and that negatively impacts it. Something logical I know most things are made when we sleep but that may explain my shorter cycles since having DD who only needs 8 hours and has only started sleeping through the night aged 3. I have become so focussed on the details I missed the basics. I will try the angus cactus if my improved sleep doesn’t help.

@MrsGrealish thank you so much

Hjudge56 · 15/05/2022 18:15

Congrats @izzyroo92 !!!

Hjudge56 · 15/05/2022 18:16

Has anyone on here fallen pregnant from DTD a couple days before or longer before ovulation?

ive ovulated today but DTD 3 times this week - last time being Friday night! Won’t have another chance this week!

MrsGrealish · 15/05/2022 18:19

@Hjudge56 honestly you've every chance I DTD 3 days before this time and fell

Tropicana1 · 15/05/2022 19:25

Congratulations @izzyroo92 !! 😊 how many DPO are you - lovely clear line!

@Hjudge56 with my first, we DTD, then I got my peak OPK the next day but didn't DTD that day or OV day, so DTD 2 days before ovulation and got pregnant

izzyroo92 · 15/05/2022 20:16

Thanks @Tropicana1 I'm 12 dpo. AF due tomorrow but I normally get quite bad period pain the day before and today I was. We're currently on hols so thought I'd better do a test before I ordered myself a large glass of wine!

PeanuttyButter · 15/05/2022 20:30

Congratulations@izzyroo92

Kitty901 · 15/05/2022 20:51

Kitty901 · 15/05/2022 20:52

pocketbunny · 16/05/2022 00:15
