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 ahh that's shit 🙁 what was your temp like this morning?

VP91x · 30/05/2020 06:03

@SmileyT no, nothing there's line a grey shadow indent line of where the line should be if that makes sense. Now I have gotten up, I'm feeling crampy so maybe AF will make an appearance today after all. But then last makes me have an LP of 10 days. Which is another issue to contend with all on it's own. Let's see xx

SmileyT · 30/05/2020 05:57

Oh I'm sorry AF got you @Ejb86 but at least you had a longer LP which is a positive that cycle is regulating.

@VP91x was there not even a little line this morning? Keep testing tomorrow as it might just be the concentration of fmu this morning 🤞

@Ejb86 oh!! No way. Definitely AF? 😔Xx

I'm technically due on today if my cycle is the same as last month. But no idea! Xx

Ejb86 · 30/05/2020 05:32

@VP91x Oh I'm sorry. AF arrived for me. Wish I'd wiped before I dipped the test! Ha

VP91x · 30/05/2020 05:29

Morning All..

Definitely negative today 😣

@Ejb86 how did you get on? Xx

SmileyT · 30/05/2020 00:12

@HE88 thanks lovely, I'm feeling much better today, I guess we all have our down days in our cycles but it's good to have so much support. How are you feeling?

@1990EM yes hopefully it was the 1st team strikers out tonight and they've done the job 👌🏾 hope you are doing good... and I use ic when I get in from work at about 4.45pm at the moment, when they look like they are picking up I'll switch to every 6hrs or so until peak reduces x

@2020wish aw I hope it settles quickly for you our bodies can be so confusing at times! Xx

2020wish · 29/05/2020 21:52

@HE88 so strange day 5 bleeding and I passed a large clot today. Totally not expecting it as I was only like 3+4 weeks and AF only 2 days late

@1990EM I test twice a day from fertile window according to my apps and then when I start to see the line get darker they recommend testing every 4 hours

VP91x · 29/05/2020 21:52

@SmileyT I bet you won't need to buy anything for next month. I've got high hopes for you!! ❤️

@1990EM yeah I normally test twice a day, sometimes x3 just cause I like to POAS. X

HE88 · 29/05/2020 21:49

@1990EM I'm wondering the same I did use them last cycle but along with cb opks. This cycle I'm just using ic opks I tested once today about 5pm. Xx

1990EM · 29/05/2020 21:24

Sorry if this has been discussed already but for those who use internet cheapies in ovulation testing, when is the best time to use them? Once daily or twice a day? Morning and night?

1990EM · 29/05/2020 21:20

@2020wish when I heard the news yesterday about my friend with the same due date it sent me into deep grieving again. Not just for the loss of our baby amd loss of shared experience with my friend but for the fact that every time I see my friend's child it will remind me of it. So sad.my reaction to the announcement was much more painful than I had anticipated 💗 hope you're ok!

I'm not taking anything currently other than folic acid and vitamin D. I took Agnus castus beforw my firat pregnancy but then gor pregnant again without it so i dont know what to do this time round. Maybe will try it next cycle. I can't stomach some of those other pregnancy multivitamins 🤢 never been good with tablets but some of those are next level! Made me so nauseous..

HE88 · 29/05/2020 21:16

@gwen7896 hello and welcome to the thread and sorry for you loss. Xx

@2020wish fingers crossed the bleeding stops soon and you get back to ttc ASAP. Xx

I'm on cycle day 10, I'm taking preconception vitamin, started omega 3 today and will take calc fluor after ovulation. Started testing with ic opks today, my femometre apps and my fitbit app both say I'm due to ovulate on the 4th which is my wedding anniversary so I'm taking this a positive sign 😁.

1990EM · 29/05/2020 21:13

@SmileyT sounds like you have done loads and sometimes a night off DTD is good for both parties.. might improve sperm count for tonight 😉

1990EM · 29/05/2020 21:11

@gwen7896 Hey, fellow PCOSer here! Feel your pain with the unpredictable ovulation/cycles! I'm CD 17 post miscarriage and no sign of ovulation yet as of this morning anyway ☹ am expecting to take a few weeks to regulate but was secretly hoping for ovulation this week!!

HE88 · 29/05/2020 21:09

@VP91x and @Ejb86 sorry you got bfns this morning but it's still early days. Fingers crossed for you both. Xx

@Renna hope you manage to get to the bottom of what's going on I can't offer any advice sorry as I had a natural MC. Also that's annoying about your Ava bracelet hope you get it sorted. Xx

@SmileyT try not to stress too much about not having done the deed yesterday hopefully the next couple of days work out well for you. Xx

1990EM · 29/05/2020 21:02

@Renna noo way such a hassle!! Hope you get it asap!

SmileyT · 29/05/2020 21:02

@Renna Ahh I went to see some fireworks randomly in west cliff on the beach as my aunt lives over there, can definitely see why you go for lovely 5.30am walks 🥰🥰 would be ideal if you could meet the buyer ( I guess if she is giving you her name and address there is no additional information you'd need) can talk TTC with her 😂 haha we need all the goods, I'm going into my TWW this weekend already looking at what I might buy for next month. I looked at the fertility monitors but only benefit is that it remembers your hormone levels from cycle to cycle I think.

The ebay seller replied... see attached ... ( I live in westcliff on sea not westend on sea ..) and seems weird me posting something when I could end up not getting the ava bracelet sent to me ... hoping it's not a scam . So I've said if they live within a mile of me that I'd meet up with the other buyer and exchange tomorrow or something ... see what they say ... weird !
I've told DH I was getting an ava but he never asked me how much it cost... he just asked me now when I told him about this ... he was like how much !? Does this watch make dinner!? ... haha oops ... 😇 x

@hopeforrainbowbaby .. getting a puppy deffo keeping me occupied haha I'm bloody exhausted, surprised we managed DTD earlier we did it whilst she was sleeping In her crate lol ... before getting her I was really struggling to keep busy and was driving me mad so is a welcome distraction for sure. DH done me a tapas date night at home the other day 😁 you doing much to keep busy ? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 29/05/2020 20:17

@Renna Haha i dthe exact same messing with it inside then the hubby just pulled it the next time and it worked :)

Had bloods done today and results should be early next week and should hopefully get my scan date next week too and think that will be in about 2 weeks time x x

VP91x · 29/05/2020 20:13

@Renna that's so annoying 😩 hope she replies or gets the bracelet to you ASAP it is just such a faff getting ebay involved.

Yeah you have to tug it a little bit so it pops back into its cup shape. Haha no it won't get stuck! I always ended up falling asleep with mine in. In the morning there was never much left in it. God knows where it all went 🤔😅😅 xx

Renna · 29/05/2020 20:09

@VP91x haha nope just want the bloomin ava bracelet I paid all that money for lol 😂🙄 xx massive fingers crossed for you tomorrow xxx thanks for tips .. so the cup doesnt turn around the right way until u pull the string bit? I tried tugging then got scared it would break so I tried turning cup right way round with my fingers lol .. xx thanks for the congrats x

Renna · 29/05/2020 20:05

@gwen7896 hiya xx welcome to the thread xx sorry for your losses hun xx tbh I've realised early testing isnt for me and would test when AF is late from now on so know how you feel but then on the other hand its kinda good to be aware if your had an early loss rather than thinking its AF as you can get help from a GP so maybe test on day AF due if shes not shown or something like that ?? Xx
@Hayleylou89 keep us posted with your bloods hun xx ugh I know I thought it was all going so well with the order ! Lol I've contacted the seller and no response as of yet and if they dont get back to me Ebay can get involved but have to wait 6 days 🙄 so hopefully I'll hear something soon xx
Out of curiosity what do those fertility monitors do which you cant just do on an advanced CB stick and app ...? Seems like it does the same to me but they're like 80 quid ... ?

Thanks for the fert illy tips ladies . I'll probably get it after more practice.. I may practice with just some lube .. I think I kinda like mentally panic a bit and think its gonna get stuck and I like close up down there haha .. it must have worked to an extent actually as when I took it out there was lots of his "stuff "there shall we say lol . DH lovingly referred to me as having my ... plug in ... 🙄 😂
