***September 2018 Testing Thread***

[Crumble]

I did read that there isn't not need to lie or assume strange position to "help" the swimmers ...but I need to confess I try to don't stand straight away.....I feel a bit stupid but it is a psychological thing, crazy me

 

[Sugarpop]

So ladies I am 6 maybe 7 dpi and I have a slight cramp going on at my left side. I ovulated from
My right (I felt it), not sure whether this is a good sign or not!

 

[Sjf0709]

Helen I try to lie there for half an hour (if possible) to give them swimmers every chance they have but sometimes this isn’t possible if we BD in a morning before work haha. Like ChattyCharl said, I’m sure the good swimmers have made there way up there haha

Wow half an hour
You surely do have patience Sjf!!
the quicker I can get the toilet the better haha x

Haha yes I know! I’m convinced I’m going to get a UTI by doing this but I’d sooner be pregnant with a UTI than not pregnant and not with a UTI haha

I remember trying to conceive my youngest I tried all sorts. Including and not limited to...laying for 30 mins, having bum propped up on a pillow and my favourite, bum propped up on a pillow with my legs going up the wall! hahaha when you're desperate you'll try anything lol

Now need to catch up on the thread, you ladies can talk!!

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

I literally had my legs up the wall yesterday lol no shame!!!

 

[Theosmama]

Evening ladies, hope you’re all well!

So I swore blind I wasn’t going to test until missed AF, but I’ve gotten to 11dpo today and couldn’t wait any longer...

Here’s what I got.... so shall I wait and do a digi in a few days? Xx

Omg get that digi I see a line congratulations first for September

 

[Vintageling]

I prop my bum up with a pillow I think it helps just because of the way my pelvis is tilted it get it in like a normal position and I stay there as long as I can as we normally BD of a night

 

[SmithyBaby]

Congratulations Theosmama! I see that line !!

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

Yay!!! A bfp!!! I would wait until af due date to do a digi as they're SO much less sensitive but defo do another frer or cheapie til then!!! Congratulations!! What a great start!!! Xx

 

[SmithyBaby]

With my last bfp I lay with my bum on a pillow and legs against the wall for 30 mins. I was convinced it would work. We only BD once or twice that cycle and caught so maybe it works or maybe its an old wives tale. The things we do for a baby

 

[baby.3]

Ladies can I ask a question. So I read my journal from the last time I ttc and notes that I took Evening Primrose Oil from AF until O. I bought some today but just noticed that it has Vitamin E in them to. Is vitamin E suppliments OK to take while TTC? I'm sure I read at some point (or I've totally dreamt it lol) that vitamin E could potentially cause birth defects if taken when TTC? What do we think/know?

Hiya just to say that clearblue digi with the week indicator is actually the most sensitive I came across. So it has 10ml sensitivity that’s what’s in the paper.

 

[Maximus17]

Congratulations on your bfp wohooo

 

[Mandy123]

Congratulations on the BFP!!!! Great start to the month!

 

[Theosmama]

Thank you ladies! Couldn’t believe it! Don’t think I want to to ‘fully believe’ it yet till I see the words ‘pregnant’ on a digi! Think I’m gonna hold out until Monday as it would of been 48 hours for the hcg to increase! Eeeek so excited, good luck everyone and fx to you all xx

I'm not too sure about that one and personally I don't trust Google because you get mixed responses, I'd ask someone more qualified or even in Holland and Barrett they are very helpful. They advised me to drink raspberry leaf tea whilst trying but to stop once pregnant until about 36 weeks. They also helped us with what vitamins we both needed, they were lovely in there.

Congrats Theosmama x
