5/6 DPO .... Anyone with me?

[kimmyRJ]

Best of luck at the doctors tomorrow, hope you get the answers you need.
never knew until ttc how complex and difficult it is.
Just wondering if any of you have changed your diet since ttc such as cutting out the things you shouldn't have when pregnant? I have cut out everything except I struggle so much controlling my caffeine intake I like coke, coffee and chocolate too much that I probably have double what I should most days by the time I have had 2-3 coffees, a bottle of coke and a choc bar

Fx for you all this cycle, can't wait to read some good news Xx

Emma I'll ask ofcourse I'll keep u posted , will be about tea time I'll post , drs then straight to work.

Oooo how exciting! I've never ordered lots of tests online but when all my trail stuff arrived it was exciting so imagine it's the same!! Fx for u when are u thinking of trying? I'll be about a week behind u I hope, if I ovulate x

 

[Lolie14]

Kimmy - I don't drink coffee and rarely coke but I have been trying to eat better and cut out the chocolate. I was so healthy when we first started TTC but as the months have gone by I have slipped up a lot. Since Monday though I have been back on board the fruit and veg wagon

 

[Mumzilla]

Yeah, we definitely need some BFPs this month. Hope this is our month.

 

[Lolie14]

CD8 and another low reading. If I wasn't using the monitor I would expect to ov around Monday/Tuesday of next week (that's according to my now non existent 28 day cycle lol. Wondering when I'll be on a 25/26 day cycle.

Have a lovely day girls!

 

[Mumzilla]

5 years ago when I was TTC I had 27 day cycles and now they are 25 day. I'm predicted to OV on CD 14 which should fall to Monday. Personally I think it will be a day earlier than that. Hope that helps. xx

 

[Jess07]

Kimmy I changed my diet and exercise slightly , cut out rubbish but not everything just less stodge. Try eating more fruit and salad now, I reduced gym as training 5-6 times a week n I think all that bouncing around wasn't good for ov n a sticky bean. Didn't read that anywhere tho.

I'm also obsessed with cans of pop ha. But have 2-3 litres water a day as well as a folic acid tablet.

Lollie I bet u get your high tomoz keep me posted, i was high again today , number 5! I hope I get my peak soon.

Yes girls it's def our month!!!!! I can't wait for us all to test xxx
Hope everyone's ok x

Hi ladies,
well cd8 today im still bleeding but only a tiny amount,
neg opk again, think I will ovulate next tue/wed so still a week to go

I was wandering how many days before ovulation should we all be Dtd?

I was thinking if i ov Tue or Wed we should be dtd from Mon every day till Friday? Xxx

 

[Balthazar1275]

I am CD6 today and I normally start DTD today and continue every 2nd day leading up to ovulation then do it the day I get my positive opk then do it the next 2 days after

[Mumzilla]

I think we'll go for Thursday (or Friday morning) Saturday and Monday. Maybe Friday also but Sunday we won't be able to do to various reasons, but hopefully it'll be enough. FX

 

[kimmyRJ]

Heya,
Struggling with only 1 coffee so far on a 13 hour shift today but I will do this anything is worth it if I get a baby at the end of it. I am fine with the eating have always had a fairly healthy diet with just a few treats daily haha. You girls are so knowledgable I feel so silly and naive.
No signs of AF yet for me so Im keeping positive for now.
Xx

 

[kimmyRJ]

Oh and we dtd every other day as I have read lots of places this is best as it gives a good supply without weakening the strength and quality. Xx

 

[Jess07]

Hi everyone , so just got back from doctors. Have to go back feb with OH if we aren't pregnant by then, fx we will be , that's the year mark.

Sooo tips from her -
Sex every 2-3 days, regular all month ( obv except af) if u can. This means that best sperm will be there as always rejuvenates. Every day is fine but only if regular weeks before and after so sperm isn't dormant , and every day fine on peak days. If oh sperm count is low try stick to every 2-3. That way no matter when u ovulate always there to catch on egg. Sperm lasts 5 days but can last up to 7!! So if it's every 2-3 days you'll never miss the egg.

Obv that may not be easy for some , but just a tip from her.

Cm is fertile when clear n slippery or stretch but it can also be cloudy it just isn't easy to get thru but many can , sooooo her advise do not even think twice about cm, use it as an indicator if want to but don't worry if it doesn't have similar appearance to ewcm, everyone's bodies are different.

Spotting before and after a period fine , Inbetween periods still no issue unless it's regular and each cycle, if it is maybe need a quick scan to make sure no issues or bloods.

Bleeding after a period can mean u release two eggs at once ( Emma is that helps) n doesn't mean u haven't ovulated there would be no way to test that unless u have scans, but if u see a surge, u are ovulating , if u get periods , u are ovulating it all comes down to quality and the egg being a good one ha.

She is 99.9% sure my spotting was implantation but not a sticky bean due to my examination today and timings etc.

She also said if u are going to make any lifestyle changes do them before so body can get used to it , then it doesn't get a shock with changes and baby.

And most of al try not worry - 80% people get pregnant in 12 months , 90% within 24!

So I feel lots better , hope that helps?

Xxx

 

[Lolie14]

Wow that is a lot of info, thank you! I'm going to see my gp in Jan if we still haven't got anywhere.

I'm glad you're feeling better about it.

I would think I would start seeing a high on the monitor soon. We tend to DTD pretty much every day so might drop down to every other day to ensure quality of swimmers

Fx still for you Kimmy, when is AF due again?

 

[angel6901]

Wow jess loads of helpful information thanks for sharing,
Sounds like it was a really informative appointment,
I'm trying to re arrange my acupuncture appointment so it may be tomorrow, is yours tomorrow jess?, you'll have to let us know how you get on
Hi kimmy. ..well I've not really cut anything out of my diet, I drink coffee, coke and eat lots of chocolate! Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong, I do eat fruit and vegetables and take pregnacare conception tablets
well I will be trying to dtd every other night but I'm still bleeding so I'm going to wait until that's stopped, I'm hoping it's soon
roll on next week then the 2ww ...and hopefully lots of Christmas bfp's

 

[Balthazar1275]

Sounds like you had a really good appointment today Jess, thanks for sharing.

Managed to have a quickie this afternoon before my husband went off to work so that's the 1st DTD session taken care of. Next one should be friday which will be CD8.
Got a high reading this morning on my monitor. Got about 8 high readings before my peak last cycle so looks like this cycle will be the same.
How is everyone else getting on?

[Lolie14]

Should I be worried that I'm on CD8 and still reading as low on the monitor? You guys are all getting highs I know everyone is different ...

 

[Balthazar1275]

As you say everyone is different Lolie, I won't worry your only on CD8 there is plenty of time for high and peak readings. what monitor are you using huni?

[Lolie14]

The Clearblue advanced one. A questions ladies... Do you pee on the ov sticks or pee in a cup and dip the stick? I have just been peeing on the stick.

 

[Balthazar1275]

I pee in a cup then dip the test stick. I just find it easier that way.
