TTC Thread #2

Does anyone take Evening Primrose Oil - if so how much mg should I get? Looking on Amazon I can see 1000mg - 1300mg?

Just read online that it's important to stop taking EPO after ovulation as it can affect implantation. So I may need to continue using OPKs after all

@Daffodil21 that all sounds quite reassuring, glad the appointment went well! Really hope you get some answers. A friend of mine had 3 mc in a row, then got a referral but didn't end up needing it as she fell pregnant again, which resulted in a healthy baby.
Arggh the dreaded transvaginal ultrasound! I hate having those done!
As for me I'm just trying to resist the urge to Google pregnancy symptoms 10 days po. I don't know why as I already know all of the symptoms anyway.

@Milliemoo222 it's nice having a few days off thinking about ttc isn't it? Enjoy your break, sounds like it will lovely!!!

I'm thinking to just dtd every other day this month. Last cycle felt a little bit too regimented for my liking. DH and I normally dtd very regularly anyway so every other day won't be too hard for us (hopefully!)

@Daffodil21 Glad to hear that the appointment went well! Hopefully they will be able to give you some answers at your next appointment. Where are you in your cycle now?

@SVC11 I'm thinking to not use OPKs this month until I see some signs of ovulation (cramping, ewcm etc). I found it really disheartening last time having 13-14 straight days of stark negative OPKs because I ovulated way later than I expected (CD20 rather than CD13). So I really have no idea when I will ovulate this month.

Hi :) @acaciabluebell
Had a few days off thinking about it all, plus work was crazy busy! I am due for AF in 11 days... so just trying to stay calm and not think too much! Not positive this month is the one to be fair, but we are going for a small break away next month with a hot tub so will be able to use that at least!
Are you planning on using OPKs this cycle or every other day dtd?

@acaciabluebell exactly the same for me... Started opking in case I miss something earlier than usual. Not expecting to ovulate until cd14/15 then the dreaded 9/10 lp to come after that haha. Hoping that it increases in length again 3rd cycle off the pill. X

How's everyone doing? Im on CD5, about to get started again with cycle #3 😊

Congrats and good luck @JTB123!!! I know the feeling - planned a wedding in 3 months while in my final year of uni - manic!!

@acaciabluebell Thankyou! It's a strange time isn't it, I feel like my whole focus has shifted overnight!

Congratulations @JTB123 ! That sounds really stressful but so exciting! Good that you can go ahead with it and take your mind off things!

I've almost forgotten about TTC the last few days, we've decided to go ahead with with our wedding in September after postponing from May and then to 2021, we really want to do it now so September 2020 it is!!!

TTC and planning a wedding in 10 weeks, kill me now

@Thissucks1 welcome!

I am TTC #2, but can't offer much advice as I didn't have a c section. If you're worried about your scar I would ask your doctor if you haven't already, and in regards to a pocket of fluid I would perhaps ask if you could be referred for a scan? If doctors won't give you a scan, it could be worth going for a private scan for some peace of mind? No idea if this is good advice but I think that's where I'd start. Good luck! How old is your first? 😊

@CharWils Welcome to the group 😊 I'm new to TTC, DH and I stopped using contraception (non hormonal) about 2 months ago. Last month is when we started "trying" properly and it's been stressful!

I know it's super early for me (only 2 months) but the reason I've been a bit worried is because even when we used contraception, we weren't very diligent with it (we used the pull out method) and had lots and lots of 'accidents', many of which were around my ovulation date according to my apps, but nothing has ever happened...

Ok sorry ladies. I didn't realise this was baby no1 thread.

Hi @Thissucks1 I'm sorry I don't know anything about c sections and fertility 🤔 but I'm sorry your feeling like this and I hope you get some answers.

@Daffodil21 I'm gonna try and hold off at least u til AF is due. Arggh I just don't want the disappointment again! Part of me cant wait to test and the other half is terrified. I'm sure you know that feeling 😕

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the place to be but I couldn't find a thread which seemed "appropriate". We've been trying to conceive baby no2 for the last 3 years, 4 months (not that I'm counting) but sadly no luck, not a sniff. Been to drs and they said they'd refer me to fertility but my iron levels needs to be level, I've always been low iron but I took iron tabs and ensured I ate iron rich foods for months to go back and be told it still wasnt enough so I'm not getting referred any time soon .
With baby no1 I had a c-section, here we are almost 6 years down the line and I've just discovered that theres a strong possibility that I shouldn't still have niggling feelings at my scar and inside? I should also not still have a numb stomach just under my belly button? Has anyone had a similar feeling, and if so, is it normal?
I read an article about how a little pocket which can come from a section, can leave women infertile so I'm having a little freak out....send help!
