Oh no! I hope not. i thought you were going to be the silent assassin and swoop us all with a BFP when we’ve all lost hope! Are your cycles always the same length?

Show quote history

Haha unfortunately not! Adolf has been up all night again so I'm a total zombie and have had period pains all night. Unfortunately not the fun stabby ones, the dull period ones.

My cycle is pretty regular but recently I've been out by a couple of days. Annoyed I didn't start in the night but probably related to the lack of sleep!

Sending you loads of positive vibes today!! What time is your appointment? 😘 Xx

Me too! Getting the worst cramps and think a super mega AF is on the way 😫

Really bad cramps that feel different is a great sign! Mine are the regular, dull ache ones 😭

@Amy95 Morning!! Supposedly Sunday but looking at cycle days, it should be today. Feels imminent as I've had cramping all night!

Hope it stays away for you xxx

Bubblesandtroubles · 02/06/2023 06:54

Morning all! Another rough nights sleep here. 🥱 I think the wait is getting to me.
AF due tomorrow and no early arrival as yet.
One more day to get through for those in the "due on 3rd club". We can do this..!
@LeopardLover hopefully good news if actually due today and still not here(?) 🤞🤞
@GeoSmed sending lots of luck for your scan 💕

chlx3 · 02/06/2023 06:55

Good luck @LeopardLover @GeoSmed !🤞🏼

Anyone here used pre seed? Been told good things about but it's quite expensive! Wanting to give it a try but not too sure x

LeopardLover · 02/06/2023 07:03

@Bubblesandtroubles Crossing my fingers for you!! My period is imminent unfortunately haha. But I have some great next cycle pals 😉 I'll b logging on first thing in the morning to see all the BFPs!

@chlx3 the lube? If so, I use Conceive Plus because it worked last time, I am tempted by pre-seed. If we don't have luck in the next 6 months I'll probably switch to pre-seed but you're right, the fertility lubes are pricey!

I've been looking at preseed and conceive plus but they're almost £20 for 8 so but unsure about the price but if they work, I don't mind paying it! I'd probably do anything after almost a year of trying! Lol x

We used pre seed for our first baby and it worked! (Well, we got pregnant obvs don't know what part the pre seed played)
Bought some for starting trying again this month but didn't end up using it. The box should still be sealed. If Im lucky and do get my BFP I can post it to you @chlx3 xx

Morning. I have pre seed. I don’t think they help you get preggo. Just help mak things less…. Sore when you’re hVing to have sex every day round ovulation 😂

thank you for your wishes @Amy95 8’ totally bricking it. Xx

When are you due to test? I'm not due to Ovulate until CD 21 and today is day 2! That would be great if you're okay with that! It's just so expensive and I've just started a new job so moneys a bit tight BUT I just found out it's weekly pay so makes life so much easier! I've heard lots of good things saying they got their bfp in their first month using it, but I know my partner would be hesitant as he is with taking fertility vitamins as he wants to do it naturally, but starting to think it isn't going to be that easy where as if I get the applicators, I can use it 10 mins before sex and he wouldn't know! Which sounds really bad like I'm trying to baby trap him, which I'm NOT! Lol. I just don't think he would be over the moon with using something like that until it's been over a year and the doctors confirm there is an issue x

chlx3 · 02/06/2023 07:15

@GeoSmed
Everything crossed for you today!🤞🏼❤️
The ones I found on Amazon were like £18 for the actual brand but quite hesitant at the price haha. Going to get some more reviews and suggestions and see what works best! x

@GeoSmed your so much stronger than I am ❤️ I really do hope it's good happy news for you 🤞🤞
@chlx3 I've got conceive plus in the house I think I used it once and forgot about it 😂 I totally understand with your boyfriend because my other half used to be exactly the same , it's a scary for men just like it's worrying for us , but sit down with him and say you've looked into this and it could help you both , just something else to try , luke the first few cycles was all over the place he blamed himself alot which weve got through and it's no one's fault just not our luck just yet xx
Also has anyone heard of ferti lily cup I seen another group talking about it ? And they have been successful with it ? Xx

It's so difficult to try and explain everything to him because he just thinks it's simple and is now convinced it's never going to happen! I've ordered conception plus pre natal tablets and I'm also on folic acid and inositol but he doesn't understand why I take them as the doctor told me everything is fine although he mentioned taking them a few months ago so I was a bit confused lol. I just think using fertility lube would put a bit more pressure onto the sex as if I mention I'm ovulating and we should have sex, it instantly puts him off as he feels like that's the only reason we're having sex which is fair enough. So I've started instigating it more often and not just in my fertile window so he knows making a baby is not the only reason. (But the most important lol). I've only got £35 to last me until Friday and the lube is like £18 but might just say fuck it and get some anyway. Would rather spend a bit more money and it works then getting to the 1 year mark and feeling helpless and like I'm doing something wrong. If I try this then I know I'm trying everything I can to try and help things happen! x

Wishing you so much luck @GeoSmed 💕

@chlx3 I've used preseed and conceive plus and they haven't worked for us. I do still use them tho because it makes me feel better when we're having that lovely passionate TTC sex 🤣

I got preseed for £9 on Amazon when it was on offer. Xx

It really is , but what helped me alot was looking for things we could both try when Luke was ready to do that , because it just hasn't happened I explained some people find it easy TTC and then there's others like me who struggle , yeah it could be worth a shot you never know it could work , Luke's sister swore by it and that's how she caught with her dd I used it once and I found it even put me off and didn't like it , when I'm ovulating Luke knows what's coming 😂 unless he falls asleep I'll happily wake him up because he's needed 🤦🏼‍♀️I promise you your not doing nothing wrong Hun please don't put yourself down 🥺 one day it is going to happen you will get your dream 🤞❤️ you've got this and don't be to hard on yourself 🥰 your that one cycle closer xx

@dabs9 we sometimes use lube anyway because why not but I've seen people post about doctors telling them to use preseed or nothing, even when it's water based, because apparently it can still harm sperm so giving this one a go! x

chlx3 · 02/06/2023 07:53

@Amy95 to be fair, he's just as bad as he makes it very obvious when he's in the mood🤣 which at the moment seems to be all the time🤣 I'm not complaining tho! Lol. I think if we get to the 1 year mark, and we see the doctors, Lennon would be a bit more encouraged to try new things but right now he thinks it's a bit over the top as like most people say, it will happen eventually! I just feel like I've let us both down every month when my period arrives. Especially this month as I was convinced that it worked and was so excited to finish the tww and test! Then period showed up and I felt so guilty it hadn't worked! The preseed and maca is being delivered tomorrow so 🤞🏼x

Sorry changed my username as haven't told anyone we're trying and his name isn't usual so don't want anyone finding out on here lol. I've ordered maca root but don't think Lennon would try it, but it's definitely worth me trying it and seeing if it makes a difference! Apparently it boosts energy too, which I need as I sleep like 10-12 hours a day, and starting on night shifts soon x

dabs9 · 02/06/2023 07:59

@Amy95 @chlx3 I've stopped maca root now.. only took it for a couple of weeks but this has been the worst cycle I've had in about a year. Maca root is the only thing I did differently 🤷‍♀️

More random pink mucus for me this morning.
Did opk and preg test just to figure out what was happening lol. BFN and flashing smiley on opk so who knows. X
