I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

@VP91x that sounds like a good list to me, do you take prenatal vits aswell? I was going to try concieve plus when my preseed ran out no factual reason why but just to switch it up 😂 I've got calc flour I'll let ya know in 2 weeks if it was worthwhile 💁🏾‍♀️

@VP91x I drink plum juice. And I felt the difference last time around ovulation. I will check how grapefruit juice can support the conception ( maybe I will just stock on both)

Welcome to new ladies!

Btw I have clicked on posting button accidentally ( a fly was attacking me 😅🤣)

@2020wish if you are worried I would definitely give a call to specialist. My bleeding was lasting 10 days( with miscarriage at 9 weeks ), now it is 5/6 days ( MC at 5 weeks ) and I think that's it. However I was advised by midwife that typically MC at 5 weeks can last up to one week.

I also enjoy doing ovulation test, just to pinpoint when I ovulate, but continue frequent DTD just to be sure.

VP91x · 31/05/2020 16:52

@SmileyT haha!

Well I already have -
Ferti-lily
BBT (as you know)
I used pre-seed last month but have ran out. Wondering whether to re-buy!? Or try Conceive + lube?
Going to try Grapefruit Juice.
Considering Calc Flor for TWW.

Do you reckon that's enough? Or worth throwing anything else into the mix? Xx

Welcome to new

SmileyT · 31/05/2020 16:33

@VP91x sorry AF arrived but it's a new fresh cycle for you to try again, I would love to give you advice on what to buy but no idea if the ridiculous amount of stuff I'm taking/ using is making any difference 😂

Welcome @bubblybon20 and @Girlmum83 sorry for your losses and I hope you have a lucky June x

@2020wish I think if bleeding lasts more than 9 days it's something to definitely contact your GP or EPU about, I think every experience is different but definitely contact Drs if you are concerned x

@1990EM yeah I think as long as you are having regular sex than you are covered anyway and try not to worry too much about pinpointing the exact day if you don't get a clear positive on opks, but I would keep testing xx

Also welcome @Girlmum83 and @bubblybon20 ❤️

VP91x · 31/05/2020 16:11

@Hayleylou89 thank you, I'm feeling okay about it now. Looking forward to fertile week. Yeah I have the ferti-lily. Wondering whether to get pre seed again or not - what do you think? Or Conceive Plus?

Calc Flor is for TWW isn't it? Wondering also whether to bother with CB digi this month or just stick to the cheapies. Xx

@2020wish if you're worried definitely get checked out hun. Better to be safe! Xx

@1990EM thank you 😊 ahh do you think you could still be about to OV? It might just be having a slow build up for you or still due to come xx

1990EM · 31/05/2020 15:24

@2020wish your body has been through a lot, hopefully it is just your uterus re-adjusting and starting to build up a nice new lining for this cycle. But if you're worried it is totally acceptable to phone the early preganacy unit and ask for advice. I think if it was an ectopic you would still be getting positive preganacy tests. Have you got a total negative yet? Sending hugs x

1990EM · 31/05/2020 15:19

Hi to those who have joined 👋 hope this thread will soon be filled with good news from everyone!

@VP91x ah sorry AF came.. but glad you'll still be around this month and not long till fertile window again!

@SmileyT ovulation test was the same as yesterday, either I missed the peak or I'm not ovulating this cycle. Or else ovulation is taking longer than normal 🙈 thanks for asking. Did manage to dtd this morning because we were both exhausted last night. Hope you're having a good weekend.

2020wish · 31/05/2020 14:26

Girls question is now day 7*

Also I didn’t even bleed this long when I lost at 7 weeks. And not spotting either side with that loss either. Just 5 days bleeding

2020wish · 31/05/2020 14:24

Sorry to hear af came @VP91x hopefully this month is our month

Welcome @Girlmum83 and @bubblybon20 sorry to hear about ur loses: this is a lovely thread to join

Girl question it’s not day 7 from I started bleeding and although it mostly stopped it’s just still light blood stained when I wipe and I have ningles and slight sharp shooting pain in left side of lower abdo. Should I be worried? My mind is going along thinking etopic or something. Because this one was chemical this month I half expected my af not to impacted as much as if I didn’t test at 10dpo I would never have known I was pregnant as the tests went basically negative on the day af arrived. My af usually last 4 days. No spotting either side

bubblybon20 · 31/05/2020 13:47

Hi, hoping to join this thread!

I've been following since the start;
Suffered a MC, on the 9th April, around 8+4 weeks. Already have 2 DSs age 6 & 4.

Really thought I was lucky this month as normal have 25 day cycles.
Had loads of cramping and nausea the past week. And even 2 days late, for AF to arrive today 😩 absolutely gutted. Onto the June bus I am.

Sending lots of luck to everyone for a fresh and successful month!x

Hayleylou89 · 31/05/2020 12:59

@VP91 sorry to hear AF got u, I was hoping to see a late bfp :( ... but about ur amazon order ... did u get calc fluor and ferti lily? I used both aswell as preseed last month and also make sure u orgasm (pref after him) 🤦🏽‍♀️ think that could always help too, iv also been on omega 3 tablets for a while now too xx

Girlmum83 · 31/05/2020 12:47

Hi I hope you don’t mind if I join you all . I’m 36 and currently mum to 2 girls . Af has just finished for the 1st time following the loss of my mcma twin boys at 15 weeks in April so I’m officially setting off again on my 1st ttc cycle . It took almost 2 years of not preventing but actively trying to conceive the boys so although very nervous I don’t want to wait any longer to start trying and am planning to be a bit more active with the trying this time . I wish you all lots of love and luck and hope this a very lucky month full of rainbows of hope for everyone x

VP91x · 31/05/2020 12:44

Ladies, is there anything I should 100% stick in my Amazon basket today to try this month??

I'm going to stock up on the grapefruit juice and I ran out of Pre-seed do you think I should get some more? 🤔 Xx

VP91x · 31/05/2020 12:22

Little update - AF is here! I'm actually relieved I didn't want to have a super long cycle.

@Ejb86 we are pretty much cycle buddies again 😊 xx

VP91x · 31/05/2020 10:15

@SmileyT I'm 12DPO today. So weird my cycles are still a bit bonkers. I know I just want my temp to plummet it gives me a bit of hope in the morning haha. Yeah, positive will be a longer LP!

I've been meaning to ask what you use to measure your RHR? I have a Samsing Active Watch and wondering if I should get a fitbit or something for this purpose?

You're 1DPO now aren't you? xx

SmileyT · 31/05/2020 09:43

@Renna E cup wowsers I'm very jealous 😂 and so glad you got your Ava have you had a play with it yet?

@HopeForRainbowbaby good luck starting your ttc today x

@1990EM how was your opk looking this morning?

Ahh @VP91x I was so sure your test was going to turn, are you 13dpo now? At least you have had a nice long LP if AF shows tomorrow and you can start a fresh for the new cycle (quietly hoping it's late implantation though so no AF coming) xx

HopeForRainbowbaby · 31/05/2020 09:35

I admire your patience @Jazper
Hoping for BFP😘

VP91x · 31/05/2020 08:44

@Jazper thank you hun!! Yeah definitely try and hold out if you can. I've started to get that dull backache that comes before AF so I'm sure I am not far off. Xx

Jazper · 31/05/2020 08:24

Thank you. Will use the 6th as my earliest day to test. I'm not holding out much hope. I get pms symptoms way before af and I've already got the back ache and the tight legs.
If I'm unsuccessful this time, this will be my third cycle (fourth bleed) since mc.
Really hoping June is your month xx

VP91x · 31/05/2020 08:15

@Jazper just going by my current testing saga I would say wait (if you can) until 12DPO so the 6th?😊

I know, it gets you into such a weird mindset. Once you get round that you are out for the month you just want to move on! Xx

Jazper · 31/05/2020 08:08

@VP91x
It's funny ttc isn't it? You're always half hoping af doesn't come and half wanting it to so you can just get on!
7dpo going by pos opk only. Still no plans to test. Really trying to hold off until at least this coming weekend.
My 'usual' 29-30 day cycle would make me due-on on 6th/7th but 14dpo would make me due-on on 8th. Which should I go by do you think? (Just in case I decide to test early) 🙈

VP91x · 31/05/2020 07:56

@Jazper how many DPO are you now?

This will be Cycle 4. Yeah, still super irregular! But I know I'm ovulating so that's the main thing. Just hope AF shows up ASAP so I can start fresh xx
