We say this now Bambi.. wait untill we are in 2ww am sure I will be different then 😂😂

@ranchorelaxo I've been taking boots conception support starting this cycle, it has a few multivitamins including B6, but hasn't made any difference so far.
I've heard agnus castus can bring ovulation forward but I'm reluctant to try it yet. Maybe I will if my LP is this short again. How long is yours?

Just to play even more tricks on me, AF appears to have disappeared today! I had a bit of bright red blood yesterday, so thought i was in AF full whack, but now it's like it's gone back to spotting.

Temp has dropped though so I know it's not an IB. My boobs though. STILL ACHE!!

So confused.

RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 08:13

Delilah7 I find them really helpful cause my ov date changes most months, if you are unsure of the results just put a picture on here then we can help 👍 just remember don't use fmu on them, our bodies don't make that hormone during the night so can give unreliable results (apparently the best time to test is between 8am and 10pm) good luck 😀

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 08:04

@BambiOnIce80 I think I'm more on edge due to the MC now with my ovulation date. Like you said I've got pregnant without them before and I know I can do again. I guess I just wasn't some reassurance this month! Of course!!!

If we all could actually meet up and arrange some time how would you guys all feel if we could do that? is that something you'd be interested in?? Xx

BambiOnIce80 · 07/09/2018 08:00

I'm the same as you @RanchoRelaxo this cycle - oddly relaxed because there really isn't anything else to try! 😄

@Delilah7 I'm so glad you got a DTD under your belt (so to speak 😜)! You know you can get pregnant without the OPK's help, but it'll be good for you to know your body better by finding out what ovulation date is normal for you... then put the OPK's down! 😂 Don't get me wrong, I think they're a god send for those of us who's ovulation dates leap around (unless you're some higher being who can manage SMEP every cycle, then why bother?!), but if yours stay the same each month, then they're a bit unnecessary. And I definitely want an FB friend request from you once there are baby pictures to see 💖😉

@cupcakesandglitter I full-on balled my eyes out at the redneck margarita guy!! 😭 There's rumour that they'll be doing a British season and my DP is desperate for me to nominate him for it 😂

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 07:39

@RanchoRelaxo good attitude to have. I'm ok thank you. Wondering if ovulation is coming earlier as my tummy just feels slightly strange... so gonna keep doing the OPKS this month just to make sure I know when I'm ovulating and then leave them be! Xx

RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 07:33

Am good thank you Delilah7 feeling much more relaxed this cycle, don't know why but just feeling I can't really do anything more than I am doing, so why worry about something I cant change! After 7/8 cycles I guess it will just happen when it happens Smile
How are you? X

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 07:26

@RanchoRelaxo how you feeling xxx

RanchoRelaxo · 07/09/2018 07:16

Happy Friday everyone! 😀 Looking forward to a beer tonight 😂

Sorry about AF CrossFitgirl get on the gin Gin short lp suck, I would love to have a 'regular' 2ww, half the waiting is spent wondering what day af is actually going to turn up at, rushing to the loo to check and taking sanitary stuff everywhere with me just incase 😂
Poodlepip another in the short lp club 👎 have either of you guys taken anything to try and lengthen it? Have been taking vitamin C last cycle and this one, waiting to see if it's had any affect this month, last month my LP was one day longer than usual, but that could have been just coincidence 🤷‍♀️

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's tests this weekend, hopefully some bfps!

Delilah7 · 07/09/2018 06:35

@cupcakesandglitter nice isn't it to know we have each other xx. I FINALLY DTD!

@BambiOnIce80 honestly thank you you really helped me last night and defo felt I wasn't going mentally insane with how I was feeling. We finally DTD! Xx

@BambiOnIce80 cold heart sounds about right, I geared up at him! 😭 it's such a lovely programme, you can't hate it!! X

FlapJackered · 06/09/2018 22:40

@BambiOnIce80 whaaaat, I ❤️ queer eye!

BambiOnIce80 · 06/09/2018 22:27

@cupcakesandglitter and @poodlepip I know, right??!! Grin She watched the first episode with the red neck margarita guy (incidentally; mountain dew + tequila = fricking trashy genius!!🍸🍸) and she thought it was "fake, crap and cheesey" 🤨 She reiterated this to another friend who advised her that she must have a "cold, dead soul" 🤣😂🤣😂

poodlepip · 06/09/2018 22:25

@Crossfitgirl Christ knows I'm erring toward keeping him as much away from the technical fertility bits as poss.
I've even bought an...outfit for the most fertile day to whip out will let you know if any success 🤣

Crossfitgirl · 06/09/2018 22:21

@poodlepip let me know if you have any breakthrough with him, mine is the same and I feel like i don't want to bring it up again either as I think it will just put him off!

This iliza sounds amazing! I think it's a download for the plane on Saturday! Xxx

poodlepip · 06/09/2018 22:16

And @BambiOnIce80 how can one hate queer eye it is amazing!

poodlepip · 06/09/2018 22:14

Hello gals. I have been sneakily reading and absorbing all your positive fertility vibes (31, cd9)

I have same problems of a tired husband as you @Crossfitgirl makes me feel like a nutter tracking my ovulation when he can't even pop his beans in at the right time (and sometimes right place) 🙈. More I want to talk about it the more touchy he gets about being too clinical and planned. Annoying!

Also super short LP, nuisance!

cupcakesandglitter · 06/09/2018 22:12

@BambiOnIce80 I loooooooove queer eye!!!!

BambiOnIce80 · 06/09/2018 21:42

Awww @Delilah7 honey! 💖 You made me well up! 🤗 Thought I was being a bit too bossy, but I hope a rough plan will help keep your eye on the prize. I really wasn't doing well with all the disappointment stress last month (thus the few days of radio silence 🙄) and it was all because I got too obsessed with doing everything right. You've been through so much - I really don't want you to go down the TTC 🦇💩🤪 rabbit hole too.x

@FlapJackered and @Crossfitgirl, please let me know what you think of Iliza! I'd probably recommend her "freezing hot" show first, followed by "War paint" and then the one that has "Xennials" or something in the title. It's like her journey from dating to getting married - I haven't laughed so hard in ages 😄

Disclaimer: I recommended the new "Queer Eye" to one of my besties and she 🤬ing hated it 🙄 Each to their own 😉

Bettyhop · 06/09/2018 21:19

Not until 13th🙈 although that's only a guess as miscarried on 19.8.18 cycles usually 25 days but not sure how that will affect things. Boobies very very sore and feel like they are popping out of my bra😋

BabySquid · 06/09/2018 21:10

@Bettyhop when are you due sweetie?

Bettyhop · 06/09/2018 21:02

Someone stop me poasing!! I know there is literally next to no chance but I have such an urge! X

cupcakesandglitter · 06/09/2018 20:58

@MrsC87 ooh niiiice, definitely put your feet up and relax!! A week will have flown by before you know it x

@mrsof20118 I'm going to do another this evening, and then three times tomorrow too - and I've not tried ovaview sorry x

mrsof20118 · 06/09/2018 20:54

@Crossfitgirl you can relax on holiday not waiting for AF to show and enjoy a few cocktails and who knows what might happen

mrsof20118 · 06/09/2018 20:53

@cupcakesandglitter I think it needs to be as dark or darker than the control line? I got a very faint line today so plan to test a few times a day over the next few days.

Has anyone else tried ovaview ovulation tests or pregnancy tests from Amazon?
