It could've just been the alcohol in his system which would have affected the sperm for a few days! I'm really excited to get to 9/10dpo and start testing as usually we miss the days around ovulation as I don't test and it just happens whenever but this month I tested, found my peak, and for the FIRST TIME, initiated sex the same night I got my peak. I've been through a lot of sexual trauma so starting sex is always something I've been scared about, but I knew that I would ovulate within the next 12-36 hours so I did it! I was so proud of myself🤣 I'm just so hungry and tired and still getting cramps. Period due on the 31st/1st so hopefully I'll know by then! 🤍🤞🏼x x

@chlx3 Defo was the alcohol! The amount they drank and what they drank probably wasn't even alcohol - I'm sure it would have stunned the little swimmers or they were swimming the wrong way as they were smashed too! 😂Anyway, we go again next month and i'm giving him lots of bananas, cod liver oil tablets, brazil nuts and veg for the next 2 weeks! 😁fingers crossed for you! Soudns promising that this is the first real timed time. Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience in the past - it's good you've managed to overcome that though. If nothing else happens from this cycle, that in itself is a success ❤

@Amy95 that sounds more like 'life' than exercise haha!! But, to be fair, you can do too much which is what I worry about, but I dunno. I guess too much or too little is bad for anything! I'm defo not doing much around implantation days this month! Is this your first full trying round or you don't lots before? xx

Well we've been trying for the last 2 years I've never tracked before cause it just confused me 😂 and didn't know how to do it , so weve been just trying but not if you get me ? And obviously it hasn't happened so this is when we decided to track my cycle , and obviously it hasn't been every month because life's busy and we've had lots to do , so now we're finally ready to really go for it , so first time tracking yes , but normally AF is a witch and late my cycles are all over the place , I had a clot in 2021 and since that they never really been the same 🤦🏼‍♀️ and they couldn't tell me why it happened either xxx

All the CM talk is definitely a good sign! I very much had that in my first pregnancy. Not any sign of it yet this month for me though which is making me think it's a no.

I wasn't actually 100% sure I felt ready and so we just did it the twice. I was trying to deliberately not get caught up too much and just leave it to fate.
But now I don't think it's worked I'm gutted. Which the one positive (no pun intended)- if I'm right and we end up out this month- then at least it's made me realise I definitely do want this now! Xx

I got my fingers crossed I really hope it is my month been so long waiting for my bfp 🎉🤞🤞🤞 don't put yourself down you only need that one and your pregnant so just think of it it like that plus youve decided now you really want it so it's a bonus if you get a bfp and if not you know to baby dance all next cycle 🎉😂🙌xxx

I've woken up with some lower back pain. But there again I am 37 so could just be old age stiffness! Xx

Morning , I'm 5dpo and been having weird cramps since 3 dpo so I'm confused I only ever get cramps when AF is showing its lovely face 😂 other than that I feel very impatient xx

@Amy95 Cramps are the best sign!!

Are they really ? I've tried describing them to my friend who recently had a bfp she looked at me like I had 2 heads 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I hear tiredness is a sign aswell ? I'm sending all the baby dust your way 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Amy95 The absolute best sign!! That's all I had last time I fell pregnant and many women say the same. Tiredness is a thing but I'm pretty sure it's just because I have a wild toddler and I'm still catching up on sleep 😅 if it continues through the weekend maybe it's something 😉

I've had increased cm aswell 🤢thought I'd wet myself at one point sorry it's early and tmi 😂 I just thought AF came early but it wasn't 🥳 oh I bet that's hard work xx

@Amy95 that has to be another good sign! I definitely get that - I have much more CM since giving birth 😅 It is hard work but the best kind of hard work if that makes sense 🥰 I'm excited to go through it all again, especially the baby stage because now I realise that's the easier bit (even though it doesn't feel it at the time 😅).

HAha tbf, when i told my husband that you could only get pregnant realistically about 2 days in the month he was like WTF, told his mate who has 3 children and he was like woahhhhh. So I don't think you're alone 😂All they teach you at school is how not to get pregnant, so you spent your whole life thinking that every time you have sex you're gonna have a baby!!

When are you supposed to be due? That's strange about the clot. Sending love! 70% of people come on their period in the night, so every day you wake up without starting, is another day closer! I dunno why i know all these weird stats hahaha

@Bubblesandtroubles hey fellow grandma! 🖐I'm in the 30's club with you and @LeopardLover. Have you got any children already or not? If we all knew all this we would have started years ago right! Well, I would have anyway.

@LeopardLover do you remember what your symptoms were last time in your TWW? Xx

Amy95 · 25/05/2023 10:04

I was one of them people who just thought it happened 😂 I never had any answers for it I was rushed into hospital as I'd lost so much blood , my AF is due 3rd of June xx

I only found out about the very specific window for conception when my friend explained it me when she became pregnant. I was very much an adult at the time!
I then had to explain it all to my husband when we decided to try for our first.
@GeoSmed this will be our second. We already have a 17 month old. Who has been a breeze of a baby. Which apparently means im in for a nightmare toddler. And also probably means I won't know what's hit me if we are lucky enough to have a second and they're not so laid back! Xx

LeopardLover · 25/05/2023 13:18

@GeoSmed Last time I had zero symptoms until AF was due! Then one night I had REALLY bad cramping, I was convinced it was a painful period. But nope 🥰 I only tested at 18DPO. My periods can be a little irregular sometimes and I didn't think I was pregnant!

The cycles I convinced myself I was pregnant, I wasn't 😅 I was a lot fitter back then though.

What a lush story!! That's lovely! I've heard that you know - the months you think, no chance, it happens. Maybe it's because you're relaxed more? Honestly tho, if one more person tells me to relax i'm going to knock them out 😂I'll tell you to relax when you're injecting fuck loads of horomones in your body every day 😅I'm not bitter I promise 👀

When are you due on this month? Fingers crossed for you!!! Is this your first real month of it? xx

Haha not going to lie, I was that person also! It was actually only when we came off the pill 20 months ago then was like why haven't I had a period? and realised that their was a lot more to it than I thought! Little did I know I had PCOS and needed fertility treatment haha 😆So I can laugh, cuz that was me lol!!

That's amazing you have a little one already - so please for you!! girl or boy> And did you manage to conceive easily last time? And yes defo! I'm routing for twins so I don't have to pay again for more treatment to have our second. Everyone said I'm mad 😂

When are you due this month? You're meant to be super fertile in your 2 years post birth right? xx

That's an interesting thought, maybe!? Although we were doing crazy house renovations the month I fell pregnant! So I wasn't really chilling but was probably distracted 😅

I thought I was due 3rd June but after logging my positive OPK it has moved to 4th! I'm only going to start being really disappointed from end of August I think as I'd really love a Spring / Summer baby. I also need to sort my diet out 👀

Omgosh the relax thing makes me MAD! The opposite of relaxed. Some people talk without thinking.

This is our first month trying properly but we've been keeping it a secret. My friend has also just started TTC #2 so I know I'll probably be disappointed if she falls pregnant first 🤣 she's younger than me!
