Such a great thread to start. I've been very relaxed with ttc for the past three years with very irregular cycles. But my daughter is four now and I'm very very ready for another baby so we have been upping the anti recently! I'm currently on cd23 I've had three days of ewcm but no positive opk... I'm sure whether to trust them or not!!? What do u girls think of them?

We've been Dtd pretty much every other night for months now it's exhausting! Everyone around me is pregnant and I hate seeing the scans and the sympathy looks I get!! Moan over haha! Thanks for starting the thread I'll be eagerly awaiting some bfps soon!

Thanks anon yes it's great getting tips and hints, some good ones there! I'm taking Asda's own own conception vitamins and hubby is on Tesco men ones! I have vitamin c aswell. I'm having to take hay fever tablets too, I keep meaning to google whether you can take them if you're pregnant though.

I think the cheap OPK strips aren't great but that's just my opinion, I never had a darker line but positive on clear blues, some people like them but the whole doing the test in the afternoon thing throws me off as I'm at the loo all the time lol I can't hold it for hours and test at around 2pm to catch the LH surge. I do clear blue dual hormone on a morning, got a 20pack for £29 off group on which is a tenner saving.

Anyone else have a diary to keep track of things?

I got one specially for TTC, I'd be mortified if I lost it at work as it says things like AF - am - dark red, sticky, pm - light red browny discharge or morning creamy white when wipe haha.

AF just about done today CD 4 so it's all about the wait now to test.

COME ON BFP's FOR MAY LADIES LETS HAVE SOME NEW YEAR BABBAS!

I don't keep a diary as such but just last month I started making notes on my period/conception app on my phone of things like a lot of EWCM, spotting, e.t.c. Its good to keep a note I think as even if its just to see if there is any sort of pattern and get to try and understand our bodies.
Its our 2nd wedding anniversary this month and a BFP would mean the world to us!

Yes FX for all BFPS this May!x

Yes it's good to see if a pattern develops isn't it. It's our 2nd anniversary in November. My daughter is to a previous relationship (her real dad is a complete idiot) and my husband is a fantastic dad to her so it would be amazing to have a baby together and give her a little bro or sis.

I don't have a diary but I chart and keep track of everything. The most interesting thing is noting how hormones affect moods and anxiety! it's so helpful...plus now I know what's going on in my cycle by what mood I'm in...I can feel when estrogen and prosgesterone peak.

I'm Keeping track of everything on the fertility friend app.

Agh! I've got an interview for a new job. Do I delay ttc a month or just crack on??!! Only difference between smp and Ma is the first 6 weeks, but then I don't know if I got the new job benefits might be better... ovulating next week and the interview is the week after.

 

[Topsy]

Niknaknoo the best piece of advice I had was if you wait for the perfect
Situation you'll never have a baby. I would just go ahead and continue to ttc x

Yeh just go for it, I obviously wouldn't ask in the interview about maternity benefits lol as they will know you'll be leaving shortly but do you know anyone else who works there who could tell you or google maternity benefits? I'm not sure as all companies are different.

 

[Niknaknoo]

I think I'll just crack on. If it happens it happens and I'll deal with it! Eeek! Hubby starting a new job soon too so could be all change!

Hi ladies. I'm still wondering whether i ovulated or not. The texture of my cm was that of egg white but not clear, it was white. I never got that positive opk but now my cm has dried up. Managed to dtd twice within that time but I do believe that I'm out this month.

There's no such thing as the perfect time, so just go for it xxx

Until the CM goes white and sticky you could still be fertile. Might be worth keeping testing.

 

[Alilou151]

Well I'm on CD9 and I did a CB test yesterday and it was the empty circle which it always is when you use a new holder or don't use it for 3 days, then today flashing smiley. Got a feeling I'll have flashing smiles til the weekend, I missed ovulation last month so I'm unsure I'll even get a static smile as this is still new to me.

Just come back to work after 2 weeks off and feeling stressed being back got so much on and this isn't going to help TTC!!! roll on maternity leave FX hahaha.

Hello May ovulaters!

I am due to ovulate around this weekend AND I am going to ring now on my lunch break about booking in for a reflexology session this week so that it can release any blockages and just align my body functions in general.

I came across these two sites for self-massage to help fertility so I am going to also try these.

Looking back these past few months I have been stressed out physically and mentally, my Mum has cancer and been in and out of hospital, a colleague is off long term sick and my workload has almost doubled , plus I lost my cousin who I was very close to in a tragic road accident and its took time to get over the shock and grief of that. We are also house hunting so there has been pressure on my marriage too but hubby is amazingly supportive.

I feel much more positive and relaxed lately with taking time out for myself, back to yoga and generally lots of self TLC!


FX for you all this May and baby dust everywere!

ha ha Alilou I am hoping for upcoming maternity leave too lol!!
