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

@pocketbunny congratulations to you! Wonderful to see a positive test gives the rest of us hope.

Welcome to the group @mummyof3.1986 A lovely bunch of ladies here :)

@MrsGrealish Thank you so much, and congratulations on your promotion!!!

Thank you @alwaysseeingstars and @PeanuttyButter

Thank you @Kitty901 This is our first child and our second cycle of trying. We DTD 3 times on the nights of CD9 and CD11, and the morning of CD13. I got my static smiley on the CB ovulation kit (purple) on the afternoon of CD13. The one thing we changed was the lube. We got the special conception-friendly lubricant (pre-seed) for this month. It was absolutely like a slip and slide as someone said on our old thread about it. He couldn't DTD on CD13 until I wiped heaps away (said there was no feeling with so much lube!).

I hope there are heaps of BFPs to come!!! Will definitely stick around as I want to see happy outcomes for all of us xx

Thanks @QueenBee22 Hopefully more BFPs just around the corner!

@pocketbunny thank you! Yes we have been using this lube for the past two cycles and this cycle i have decided to abandon it on peak and ovulation days but have used it a few days prior. 🤣 i said whatever will happen will happen, lets just have fun, ttc turned into a job now on cycle 5 haha! And yes there isn't much feel with that lube

Can I ask what ovulation tests people recommend? They are so expensive I don't want to waste my money😓

Hi @Mummamama I swear by now the easy @ home ovulation strips and the premom app, they are cheap and cheerful.
Easy@Home 25 x Ovulation Test Strips, Ovulation Predictor Kit, Powered by Premom Ovulation Predictor iOS and Android App, 25 LH Strips : Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

Hi @Mummamama
I swear by the easy at home ovulation test strips (purchased from Amazon) along with the premom app. very handy! x

Hey @RMS0209 very interesting! are you still doing OPK's? How you feeling? 😊x

@alwaysseeingstars Hey! Its cool is it, interesting to see the rise. No not doing OPK's now CD27 (3DPO hopefully) I am hoping my Ovusense will confirm ovulation in the next day or two ( think it needs a certain amount of rises before it confirms it)

trying not to be to hopeful but trying to be semi positive polly! how are you doing? x

@RMS0209 ahh ok that makes sense, I wasn't sure if that meant you hadn't ovulated yet but were about to! I've not looked into BBT😊
I'm good thanks, just want this wait to be over 😂8dpo (or 9 based on the CB peak) - feels like forever! x

Do you need to have the app with them? I've looked and the app has been taken off Google store with no indication on when it'll be back so looks like I can't get it. Can they be used without the app?

@Mummamama You don't need the app, I like it so I can see all them and the score.. I also have a note book and I tape them down after so I can see.
It's easy to tell when its high/peak compared to low. for the £8 its worth it - prefer it to CB, especially since I got a fake peak on CD10... x

@alwaysseeingstars I only know from again being down a google rabbit hole haha, it should confirm it in the next few days hopefully - will be sure to let you know when it changes :)
eeee exciting - nearly double figures! are you going to test or hold out for AF? x

I am 7dpo and this wait is killing me! Agree, i want these days to fly, AF due this Saturday.🙉

@RMS0209 Please do, it's interesting to understand the different things the body does!
Going to test on Saturday I think (12DPO), I don't really know when to expect AF as had irregular cycles before having the coil, then no AF at all for many years - and no 'regular' cycle since! So it's difficult to know how this the luteal phase will be x

@Kitty901 ahh, are you waiting for AF or going to test early?

Full seduction mode required tonight..only CD10

Wow @MrsGrealish !! What a line for CD10! Whatever plans you had, cancel them 😂

@alwaysseeingstars message received and understood 😂 will dust off the sexy underwear 😜 (and to think I wasn't going to do OPKs this month..when I tell myself stuff I only half believe it now)

@MrsGrealish love it! Mr Grealish will be delighted 😂That's a very strong line. Best of luck!

@alwaysseeingstars the body is a strange thing! and the mind.. im wishing my life away... oopsie. sending you all the luck.

WOW @MrsGrealish what a line! get out the fancy pj's for tonight ha ha. x

I will most probably not have the patience 🤣 to wait!
