Hello ladies,

I am always reading through the threads but never actually had the courage to join in. I am a mama of a little girl who turns 2 this week and I am more than ready to give her a sibling. This is our third cycle of trying. I have had a positive OPK yesterday so me and DH did some bd yesterday and this morning…. And now what? Is there anything I can do to help aid conception? I take prenatals, EPO, did a BSF yesterday morning and we used preseed. I have been trying to eat healthy and drink plenty of water. Anything else I can do? Thank you in advance x

No. Nature takes over from here on in. Good luck. In my tww too.

HalloumiGeller · 21/01/2024 20:42

Nothing, you let nature take its course.

You don't need to take all these vitamins etc. I conceived in 3months when I was 38, it's all about relaxing.

@pmd1234 I know, it’s so much easier said than done isn’t it 😩 Good luck to you too! When are planning on testing? Or just waiting to miss AF?

@HalloumiGeller I wish I could relax. I’m a control freak so anything that is beyond my control stresses me out 😂

Waiting to miss AF, not risking a chemical pregnancy etc

@marbie1 I'm listening to a great podcast called "don't tell me to relax". There's so much conflicting information out there and it is really helping me to stay sane and simplify things in my mind!

So long as you're taking folic acid and vitamin d, staying well hydrated and eating a balanced diet (not dieting just getting in the nutrients!) then that's all you can really control. Nature does the rest x

marbie1 · 21/01/2024 22:41

@moosey89 thank you so much, I will try the podcast tonight before bed. I need something keeping me sane right now. I’m just constantly googling and questioning every little thing, doubting that I’ve done enough. It’s not easy being a woman 😩

@marbie1 it really is! We bear most of the mental and emotional load of TTC. Keep talking about how you're feeling and do loads of stuff you enjoy 😊

Can I join? I am also in my TWW and really am loosing my mind. 6dpo and feel like its been months waiting to test . Its very hard to just relax . I am doing the best I can to be healthy but I drank a glass of wine last night just to make me relax ( now I feel so guilty)

TTC #3. I was pregnant 5 times.
DS 5 years old
Mmc
DS 3 years old
Chemical
5th pregnancy lost my triplets at 9 weeks.

pmd1234 · 23/01/2024 17:33

It is hard. This will be my 2nd pregnancy. I lost my baby girl 3 months ago at 15 wks, she was 13 weeks. First month ttc again. Around 4/6 dpo. Anxious. So sorry for your losses.

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 17:43

I am so sorry to hear about your baby girl @pmd1234 :( …. My heart always feels like taking a jab when I hear about losses.

when are you due? How many dpo are you?

pmd1234 · 23/01/2024 17:48

Positive opk last Thursday. Due around Mon 29th or so. Long wait. You?

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 18:03

I am 6 dpo. So I am due according to my app 29th. But to be honest , my cycle varies from 28days-34 days so we will see.

it is still a long wait yes. When are you testing @pmd1234 ?

pmd1234 · 23/01/2024 18:58

Maybe Friday earliest, be 8 days.But could still be too early, as might have ovulated 2 days later. You? Are you trying long?

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 19:03

@pmd1234 if you test, please share so we can support. (Only of you feel comfortable of course ) .

i am going to to test in 2 days ( expecting a BFN because it will only be 8dpo but I know myself, I will test no matter what).

i have been trying for baby#3 almost 18 months now. Really struggling. Conceived my two boys within 1 - 4 months of trying so this TTC #3 is totally heartbreaking and new for me. Nothing is wrong with me and DH. I am 30 years old . I have been on clomid too but it didnt work at all. It just made me feel shitty. So I decided if I dont get pregnant by the end of the year I will look at alternatives.

pmd1234 · 23/01/2024 19:23

I will, you can message me if you like. Good that you and hubby are ok. That is hard. Hope this is your month.

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 13:58

update : I went to my half year hygienist appointment. She had to stop half way saying my gums are super inflamed and is bleeding too much . (Been with her for years) she asked me if I was pregnant and I jokey said “ I will find out soon…

got home, couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I POAS and I swear I can see something. I inverted it and could see it but somehow couldnt save it.
