End of November, jump on board pt 3!

😂😂 I hope you're taking them at home or people will start to talk!!

@CiaraJ01 I'll take one for the team guys. Well more than once lol.

Yeah that's a good vitamin, a little low on the doses but with food combined I'm sure it's fine. I'm ordered a high dose of B6 to take during the 2ww as it supports the corpus luteum. And I'll take a high dose of magnesium. You're supposed to have around 320mg a day.

It's definitely easier to take one capsule compared to like 5 I'm taking 😂

@mellymoo86 go go go! 😂

Do the baby dance @mellymoo86!! You're possibly the only one of us allowed to DTD right now so make the most of it! 😂😂

I think these tick the boxes actually

Oh hello there smiley back at me lol

@CiaraJ01 I can check for you, send me a link to the one you're taking on Amazon. If you eat healthy I wouldn't worry about it but I just don't eat enough of each thing to get the right vitamins, who eats 100g of broccoli 😂

@mellymoo86 your a whizz at this info stuff!! I think I'll totally try chill tonight. I sometimes think I try squeeze too much into my days and it leaves me a bit frazzled so it could be back round stress or like you say not chilling enough before bed...

I've not brought my vitamins with me and I'm not very good at taking them!! But I'm unsure if they have all of the above?!

ME
During periods : I'll dtd regularly every other day. I will take folic acid rich foods. I will not stress. I will do this and this and this....
After periods: o god why should i miss dtd for even one day. What if today is the day?
2ww : UNEXPLAINABLE!

@Blondeandbroody @CiaraJ01 I noticed I spotted quit a bit last cycle. On and off here and there and apparently that's a symptom of progesterone deficiency. I'm monitoring BBT this cycle to see my progesterone uprise (hopefully there is one lol) ALSO GIRLS I might be stupid but did you know this..

PRO - GESTORONE

PRO - GES....(GESTATIONAL SAC), that's where it comes from. Progesterone spikes and stays up to create/maintain the gestational sac, which is why b6, zinc and magnesium is vital. Magnesium also calms you and helps you sleep and whilst you sleep it create melanin which is also vital. @CiaraJ01 @Blondeandbroody You might be finding it hard to sleep because of your hormones right now. So try to stay off that phone and maybe have a herbal tea, listen to some calming music etc just try to get into the zone.

@CiaraJ01 I did allow myself to think for a moment because of the timing I could potentially be 10dpo now... but it's been 4 days and google tells me that's too long for implantation? It's also not blood like lol! Hard to explain it.

Anyways I took a test this AM so I can drink tonight knowing I'm not currently pregnant to my knowledge haha and will wait now until my AF is due next week before testing again (she says haha but we shall see). It was negative of course, I'm 7 days from AF due date so even on a FRER it's too soon so not disappointed that it's negative I think I'll only be disappointed when AF shows as that's official you're out confirmation!

It's by Jason Stephenson the one I use x

Could be implantation @Blondeandbroody 😁😁🤞🤞

I usually have no trouble, I dont know why! I try not use my phone in bed but it's not really an issue even when I do! I'm trying not to google early pregnancy symptoms again 😂😂 I'll blame Xmas subconsciously and will try the guided meditation thanks 💕

Also I've had some spotting again, this is now the fourth day and it's still a pale brown colour at first I thought it was pink but then took a photo and it looks browny. The previous days have been a pale brown almost orange colour.

CD 24
7-10DPO (lol)

@CiaraJ01 I've been putting a guided meditation video on YouTube when I have been trying to get to sleep because I find myself tired so I go to bed and 2 hours later I've read everything on the internet and have to tell myself to stop and go to sleep. I'm usually out like a light within 15 minutes of the video.

This however is all normal for me my mind just doesn't shut off when I get in bed.

The one I use as my go to is with a crackling fire noise in the background haha

And for those who are beating themselves up at not getting the BFP just yet....

#shinebrightlikeagina 😂

Morning!

My luteal is 12 days according to glow. I've not really paid attention to it before so that's only tracked one month. I'm taking well woman that is probably more expensive for all that's in it, but taking the pregnancy one rather than conception.

I know I said I'm not symptom spotting.....
but I've had so much trouble sleeping this week! I love my bed and although I'm often tired I think I've no trouble sleeping. Since Sunday I've struggled falling asleep and even more so staying asleep.Any ideas?! I cant say its because I'm stressing over work or xmas, I find myself going through old memories?! I literally had to count to 100 last night to keep my mind from wandering!

@mellymoo86 I am just taking straight folic acid at the moment but I have some pregnancy multi vitamins from Asda that I think I'll start taking next cycle and if I get a BFP too!

What is everyone taking btw? feel like I'm becoming a druggy 😂

@CiaraJ01 How long is your luteal phase normally? Mine are about 10-11 days.

So I've been reading online that zinc, magnesium and b6 are important for egg health and maintaining/increasing progesterone levels. They work with the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. I checked the vitamins I'm taking and none of them are in it, i was like wtf. Just ordered some to start taking from tomorrow. I tend to have spotting during my luteal phase, as well as bad headaches/migraines and anxiety/stress which are all signs of low progesterone. Also a reason why I might have had a early miscarriage. Hopefully all these vitamins don't kill me lol

@mellymoo86 ooooh TTC advice/support and baking tips, what a place this is ❤️ haha x

I'll give that a go when we actually have banananananas in - they make me gag the texture is just icky so I can't eat them and rarely have them in unless I bake with them then I love them!

@mellymoo86 I'm around a 27 day cycle!

Hmmm blondies 😍

@mellymoo86 I've got a clear blue digital one, but I think I might be too early for it to pick anything up, it's going to be a long few days waiting till I can use it 😂 don't want to get my hopes up just Incase xx

Does anyone here have 26-28 day cycles? I'm a little concerned my luteal phase is low?

@Blondeandbroody They're super yummy, make sure the bananas are black though. I freeze them when they're black and use it when I need.

@Mum2boyss yeah you might have ovulated earlier, have you got a FRER or digital test?

I'm only 6/7 I think? Might of ovulated earlier than I thought, I've got pcos so OPKs arnt 100% coz they can be false with it. I only did one because the mince I was cooking for tea revolted me 🤢 which I thought was odd! I just keep staring at it no knowing if I'm just going insane 😂 xx

@mellymoo86 ooooo bananablondies haven't tried those I usually make caramel and white chocolate ones but might dabble is some banananananananna ones

@Mum2boyss I definitely see that faint line 😁😁 what DPO are you?
