Trying for a Baby Part 7

This may be something that's been addressed before, but what are people's experiences of using preseed / conceive plus? I had no idea that normal lube was so bad for those who are TTCing, but it may well explain why OH and I haven't had a surprise... Is it worth switching to preseed or conceive plus and which would you recommend?

There is no way this can be a + test so it can only be an evap line. Superdrug own brand test for anyone's information.

It does look a bit evappy... but then again is it 100% not a tlp? Pregnancy tests are so annoying. Sometimes I think it's worth shelling out for digi tests but being very restrained as to when I do them. I know it's not very :money: but I can't stand all this squinting at tests!

I'm so annoyed! I just wrote a big massive reply to everyone but I managed to leave the page and lost it all! Grrrr. Right...

Clarets - Big hugs. Is it worth you going to the GP to see if they will give you some advice? Not everyone gets ewcm so you may still be ovulating?

MissMaid - Good luck! When are you going to test; 14 dpo?

Tea - I totally know how you mean. I have just been moved departments at work and am really finding it all very stressful. It's such a steep learning curve and I just want to cry most of the time. Fingers crossed for your BFP soon.

Code - Your body is about as broken as mine! Lol. Could the bleeding be a good sign maybe? Have you ever had an early period before?

Fraz - Welcome TeamLowe gave some great advice

TeamLowe - Hilton sounds brilliant! I've stayed in the one in Manchester quite a lot through work and its lavely! Makes me not want to come home!

MrsJ - Glad you feel the same as I do re; help and AF arriving. It's quite a liberating feeling isn't it? Bad news about it def being PCOS but great news that they've spotted it and can help. VBeckham has popped out 4 kids and she is supposed to have it - clearly didn't stop her with the boys either. There isn't long between the older 3

Holche - Big big hugs chick. As everyone else has said, take care of your self. I think you can start TTC straight away, they only ask you to wait one full cycle for dating purposes. As someone else said, you are more fertile after a m/c so good luck.

Flee, Birdie and Elsie -Hugs for AF. New cycle, new chance PMA PMA PMA!!

Claire - I am having an HSG and a whole load of hormone tests done and my husband is having an SA. If they all come back normal they will start me on clomid. Obviously, if my tubes are blocked clomid isn't going to help so they are checking all that first

Lemon - Good luck getting a peak!


Edit: MrsJ - If I ov'ed on CD21 I am 6DPO so that is certainly not a tlp. It's actually quite a lot darker in real life and OH said he thought it was pink not grey. He got so excited bless him...I really need to tell him what I'm showing him! I have got 4 digi's (they're still cheap on Amazon atm - £6 for 2 delivered!) but figured it woudln't show up yet. If AF doesn't arrive by CD30 I will do a FRER but I'm pretty sure she'll be showing up. Cramping on and off.

Hi amy - we have conceive plus as normal lubes are not a good idea! We don't use it that often, but it's ok - warning, you only need a tiny bit, much less than with normal lube! More than a tiny bit and I think a few of us on here have agreed that there's 'not enough friction' :rotfl:

I think it's a good idea to use a 'sperm friendly' lube whatever you choose! And a lot of people have success stories and get pregnant when they use them - I think it helps the swimmers travel

Hello everyone :wave:

I am finally back in the ttc game!

Up till now I've just been lurking, but Q kindly put me back on her list anyway a few months back.

So from next month we are officially ttc again :j We missed ov this month as we have been too lazy/tired/poorly in OH's case to BD. I did try and tempt OH into a bit of inky-schpinky bang-bang on CD 15, but it didn't happen.

Anyway he has said that we are ON again now, so I just need to get AF out of the way and off we go.

lilymay - blasted pregnancy tests and their evil evap lines...is there a chance it could be a BFP though? I guess you'd have to do a digi to know for sure.

Welcome to any newbies and good luck everyone. x

Hello Metra and good luck!

Is it possible that you Ov'd early LilyMay? Fingers crossed for you, you never know!

Yeah I'll test on Sat (14dpo) if AF hasn't arrived, although I always spot 2/3 days before AF so i'll have a good idea on Thursday/Friday if I'm spotting or not. Probably jinxing myself now though, getting some mild cramps!

Girls i'm a greedy cow, I keep going into the kitchen every 5 mins and eating, plus I had supernoodles and toast for dinner, feel like a student again :rotfl:

I'm back in. I started bleeding heavily on Saturday and have passed several clots so I know in my heart baby is gone. Being thankful for what I have though I'm not sure if we'll TTC this month I don't even know how this cycle will go yet....

lilymay I had something similar with a superdrug test back in feb or march. It wasnt positive for me (obviously) and I was gutted when i didnt get a BFP. I think someone else (nicki maybe) had the same experience. Fingers crossed for you though. Do you have another one?

I am actually broken. Got huge AF cramps. I usually am only 1 day early. I tend to run late if I'm off. Cycles are normally 32-38 days so 28 days would be weird. But I've learned not to expect normality.

welcome back Metranil Vavin.

Good luck to anyone testing, hugs for the cd1s and chocolate for me because I am broken.

Sequeena, I'm so sorry.

Sequeena - I am so sorry to hear your horrible news. I don't know what else to say Take care of yourself. Massive hugs xxx
