@Charlotte9876 100mg b6/b12 vitamins, iron, vit c and vit d.
My luteal phase has been under 10 days Sad this is my 4th cycle of trying. 11 days til AF is due so I'm hoping this is OV.
My luteal phase was only 10 days when I conceived DS btw (2 cycles of trying) so don't worry too much!

Charlotte9876 · 31/03/2019 20:23

@kaytee87 yes looks like we're at the same point! I've been taking pregnacare this month, since being off the pill my luteal phase has only been 10 days and AF only lasting 2 days so though I'd try them to try to get my cycle into better shape. What have you been talking?

kaytee87 · 31/03/2019 20:13

@Charlotte9876 sounds like we're in the same boat. Which supplements have you been taking?

@Proudmummy88 sorry Thanks better luck next month.

Charlotte9876 · 31/03/2019 20:08

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for you @Proudmummy88

I've had cramps today, and I got what I thought was the start of my LH surge this morning (line not quite dark enough) but when I tested again later this afternoon it was faint again. Been having EWCM as well so I'm going to take it as my surge for now but keep testing for the next few days too in case it isn't. It's a bit early for me at CD17, but I've been taking supplements this month so it might have made it earlier

@Proudmummy88 I'm sorry 💐 I hope next Mother's Day you are holding your own tiny baby

Bab1990 · 31/03/2019 17:49

No matter how long youve been trying its still hard when AF shows. Even worse is when she decides to come early or late for whatever reason🤬 Im doing ok. Was at the MILs all day with 2 of our nephews so had my fix of cuddles. Was very surprised I didnt get the ‘last Mothers Day without a baby for you’ (they dont know were TTC) but they are always saying when are we going to make them Grandparents again!! Xx

@BudgieBird I totally hear you. It's so reassuring knowing that you are actually ovulating and it's money well spent just for the piece of mind. Really hope it's your month.

Thank you 💕 I'm devastated though @Bab1990 Sad I got no warning it was coming. Wasn't expecting it until Tuesday. Looks like I'm back to 28 days now though. Means maybe AF due very end of April again. We've not been trying that long if you think about it but it still feels like a kick in the face!! Hope you're doing ok lovely!!!

AF arrived today for me. Nature is cruel to do that on Mother's Day!

Crampy today and ewcm so think I'm ovulating Smile if I am then the B vitamins have worked by bringing my ov forward.

BudgieBird · 31/03/2019 13:07

Wahey, after three months of peeing on those Clearblue Advanced digital OPK sticks for ten days each cycle and following the directions exactly, I FINALLY got a static smiley, for the first time, on test day 11 (CD 18 of 28 or 29). Eight days of flashing smileys each time before I gave up and figured there was something wrong with my LH surge. We've been DTD plenty anyway, but I now at least I feel reassured everything's functioning as it should. It seems I do have a short luteal phase - about ten days - but we'll keep trying and see what happens. Finally I feel spending money on those damn OPKs was worth it and at least now I can narrow down what the issue might be if I can't get pregnant!

Morning all and I'm really hoping one of you ladies will post up a BFP today for Mother's Day.... 🙏🙏🙏

pangolin84 · 31/03/2019 08:33

Hello again all!
Today is CD31 and I'm in limbo-land. AF was due any day from 28/03 but so far not turned up. I caved and did HPT yesterday but of course BFN. I'm not even sure whether I ovulated even with using the OPK thingies. I'm not sure if I can face using them again - too much stick peeing and staring...
I'm having my usual AF symptoms: getting irritated at DH for absolutely no reason, crampy feeling in my abdomen, bloating and acne. why can't she just show up so we can move on to next month?!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend - fingers crossed we all have our BFPs on the way x

Bab1990 · 31/03/2019 07:16

Thank you @Peachyx2505 😊

I ovulate late, have been taking b vitamins to try and make my luteal phase longer. Haven't ovulated yet.
Have dtd 5 times so far this month. Planning another 4 or 5 times to cover all bases, so romantic.

@thosethreewords Im a night supervisor in a residential home for the elderly 😀 Dh and Ds are much better.... thank god! also have no idea about the raspberry leaf tea and whether it affects cm. I tend to have watery cm for a week before ov.

Sorry af has arrived @Navy123 And @lori2019 Xx

Keeping everything crossed @Bab1990 🤞🤞

Still undecided on the opks I might do one a couple days before I think I'll ov just to see.

What's everyone up to this weekend? Xx

Bab1990 · 29/03/2019 21:16

Thank you, me too. And for everyone on the April bus to follow with BFPs all around🤞🏻
