33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[Sander]

Sorry cupcake, I can't imagine how tough this is for you to go through so many CP's. Who knows, this month might surprise you after all! Fx the witch stays away

Hi Duster! Glad to hear from you

Ladders am so hoping this is your month!!

Also fx for you Rics! So good you bd'd even after you thought you O'd!

DH has been so supportive during all my crazy ups and downs. We decided to just bd every other day this month until af arrives (or hopefully doesn't!) and not track anything. Just try and be more relaxed about it. Are also going to be cutting back on alcohol and eating more from home to see if that helps. I feel good about this month, but it's only CD7, and with 38 day cycles I usually get a little batty around O time! Hopefully can stick with the relaxed approach all month

 

[ricschick]

Good plan sander!

 

[SadakoS]

I honestly couldn't dtd every second night for a month! I'm bored with it after fertile week

 

[ricschick]

Same here lol its exhausting!!

 

[SadakoS]

So I got these tests today. But I also have brown discharge when I wipe. I'm so worried and just think that this is it.

 

[ladders]

Sander I think you have to do whatever it is that makes you feel more relaxed about it! And every other day is going to get good timing no matter when you o!

Sadako I'm positive it's implantation

 

[curiousowl]

Sadako, brown discharge is old blood so don't worry!

 

[PG5K]

Sadako, that's fab... fingers crossed!

Good luck Sander

I was feeling a bit sick yesterday so I POAS at 9dpo and not surprisingly it came back as a
I have been really tired and emotional as well as the feeling sick so I was a little hopeful (which isn't always a good idea) I was trying to be a cool cucumber since it's the first month of TTC after coming off the pill! Obviously that's already going out of the window

 

[PG5K]

I know this is TMI but i've just been to the loo and I have fluorescent green CM... think this means I'll be out.

I always have it a couple of days before AF is due. I used to worry it was something worse but I get it for one day only every time before I get AF so I have realised it is a hormonal thing.

Feeling a bit sad but at least it's a warning sign for me ready for AF

 

[ladders]

Hopefully not pg it might just be a hormonal thing you get at that cycke day regardless of whether af coming or bfp. Have you tested at all since yesterday?

 

[PG5K]

Thanks Ladders, I kinda hope so. Not tested since yesterday, I think I'm going to try and wait till tomorrow morning (hopefully Sunday if I can last)

 

[ashley2pink]

Anyone try the egg whites during ovulation? You use that in place of lubrication?

 

[ricschick]

No idea Ashley never heard of that but it would be very messy!! Lol.

 

[SadakoS]

I'm sure the egg whites thing isn't easy for us to do in the UK. In the US you get cartons of egg whites which are sterile but that's not really a thing here, and it's not really safe or sanitary to do otherwise (from what I can remember, it was ages ago that I read about it)

 

[Sander]

I've heard it's not safe (unsanitary) but I don't really know haha

 

[ladders]

I think I'd rather stick with conceive plus or preseed. Think it's too much trouble cleaning up after lol

 

[ashley2pink]

Haha, it is messy. We used it once with my 2nd pregnancy I think. I did get pregnant but had a miscarriage at 5w3d. I didnt end up having the chance to use it again since I got pregnant 2 weeks after the miscarriage. We have not tried it since. It does seem like there is potential for infection. We have preseed and have been using that. I got a positive OPK yesterday so was just curious about the egg whites thing

 

[dustergrl]

DTD last night and pos OPK today!!! CD13.

Do you ladies think we should BD again tonight or wait until tomorrow night if we had to pick one?

I'm hesitant to wait with all the wrenches we've been thrown- DS got me sick and I have a cold now!

 

[ladders]

I'd do tonight rather than tomorrow if I had to choose, apparently best time to dtd is the day before ovulation. Also one month my temps showed I ovulated the day i got my positive opk so if had waited till the next night I'd have missed it

 

[curiousowl]

Woohoo duster! Do it again tonight if you can.
