CSG (Thread 1)

Sorry it was negative @Welliedays, it might change like you say its still early! I had a chemical my first month ttc and an early miscarriage the following month. Its not easy! I can only imagine the pain people feel when they miscarry later in pregnancy, just devastating.

I'm now on cycle 6 ttc and getting light cramps this morning, feel like AF is on her way :(

@candycrush2298, the thing is I knew it would be and I was only testing to keep the EPU happy.. But I think you always live in hope for a BPF whenever don't you 😂 I haven't got any symptoms so far today so I'm not hopeful that this month is the month!

@candycrush2298 I tested and it was negative as I thought, so there's no debating that it was a chemical last month, but part of me was hoping for a faint positive for this month... Even though I know its a) far too early, and b) very unlikely!

Thank you @Elakiya I’m stopping seed cycling because I just can’t stand it anymore lol but I will carry everything else on
I also need to lose some serious weight I’ve gained 5 stone over 7 years
Ahh no sorry you are out too x

@candycrush2298 I am getting the same symptoms - the sore achey boobs and things but don’t know whether it’d turn into a chemical or not
I just know AF is coming in 100% positive I have all the same low down cramps I get before every AF and I’m due on in 2 days

Cancel that query... I've just looked at the boxes and the instruction leaflet and they're actually identical... And both manufactored by alltest in China.... So I guess it doesn't really matter 😂

I need to test tomorrow to confirm it was a chemical last month. I have Asda and morrisons cheap tests, has anyone used either before and know which are more reliable?! I don't want to end up with a false negative (NEVER thought I'd be saying that 😂). I've decided to test tomorrow as it should be too early to pick up a potential positive this month (don't know who I'm kidding that a positive might be possible this month) but it will also feed me urge to test anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️

@candycrush2298 I honestly have driven myself mad the last two cycles staring at lines that aren't there. I can't do it to myself again.

I agree about the weight thing. I'm 3 stone heavier than when I got married in 2017. Feel very sluggish and unhealthy at the moment. Eat out to help out isn't helping ME much 😂

@candycrush2298 I really want to try and hold our for af to test yes! We will see how that goes.

@Elakiya the whole fruit is good! This wee article shows the benefits, it's also good for the man's health too! I haven't done much reading on it I'll be honest but I enjoy pomegranate juice so going to add it to my diet next month anyway! parenting.firstcry.com/articles/pomegranate-for-male-and-female-fertility/

Sorry that you think your out this month. Definitely need to look after yourself. I also feel like I've let myself go the past few months, literally done no exercise in so long. It's not easy is it. X

@indecisivewoman81 i think it’s the fact that we’re not healthy that’s making our low moods even lower. We need to fix it who knows how long this will take we need to be able to get up and go again but doing what I currently do I know I’ll be depressed and Ill in 2 months if I don’t pull myself together now.

@Elakiya I've just been having the exact same talk with myself. I've put on weight, I'm not exercising hardly at all and I need to stop obsessing over this and focus on getting healthier first.

Sending you love x

@Boc86 Hopefully it doesn't arrive. But if it does then between now and December keep tracking your cycles, keep temping. Hopefully you'll get some insight about your cycles. Keep seed cycling and keep up all the other progesterone stuff your taking. Then hopefully come December you'll have conceived straight away.

I'm also out this month. I took another PG lol and realised the first one was 100% and evap. I think my body needs to be taken care of. I've completely let go during lockdown and gaining weight at a substantial rate. I am going to take 2/3 months off and eat right and look after myself and then start using opks again (note I'll be doing SMEP until October) but I've decided not to test with Opks for a couple of months just so I can focus on myself. I think that's the best thing I can do for myself right now.

I’m positive I’m out this month :(
Only 6dpo but period due in 3 days and I’m getting the low down crampy aches I get a few days before my period :(
I’m going to be so devastated, I then have to stop trying till December
This also means my luteul phase is 9 days not 10 like I thought so it’s definitely an issue :(

@candycrush2298 you take them all the time
2 from af to ov then 3-4 from ov to pregnancy/af x

@PinkRoseFlower Can it be Pomegranate rather than the juice. I am sure I saw pomegranate in my local tesco/asda and I do absolutely love the fruit!

I’ve had a load of Brazil nuts. Now cooking mushrooms as the psychic who told me I’d be pregnant soon told me I needed to eat mushrooms. (Also marmalade but not doing that)

Yes. I went woo.
