CSG (Thread 1)

@Kaybobx as long as it stays above the coverline its all good. You got a coverline which is great news at least even though its erratic you still have one which does confirm you ovulated.

I think just today and tomorrow hopefully hahaha it does seem light today. Will start bd'ng Wednesday and hope we can follow SMEP this cycle.

@Boc86 I hope that you dont start spotting. That sounds great but if you dont test then you will not know if you have a chemical, which would be your third time would it not be better to know so that you can share with your doctor that this has happened 3 times in a row and they can can do something or is that why they are doing the bloods on 7dpo?
If that's the reason then ignore me and wait till 11dpo as I can definitely understand your reasoning to not wanting to and feel like thats is great approach.

@Kaybobx yay for testing day tomorrow lol. What are your temps looking like?

typo that was meant to be throw yourself into your work not through🤭

@Elakiya awww thank you hun that's so sweet. But look at how strong you are. You have taken all the doctors advice despite what your body is doing and doing everything you can to give yourself the best fighting chance you can. That in itself should tell how strong you really are. Someone who was lazy or not invested would have just said f that everyone else who is same as me didn't do these things and got pregnant so will I. But not you, you are doing everything you can and once you do succeed you want to share your knowledge with others that have gone through the same thing as you so that they can hopefully also start their family that is extreme compassion and massive heart 💜 think of all your positives and you will see what a fighter you are despite how uncomfortable or unpleasant sex is for you, you keep going every second day or every day to give yourself the best fighting chance ❤ 💙

Then focus on your exams through yourself into your work and kick ass in it.

I understand, I dont think he is trying to be heartless he is just a man and they expect us to think like them. Could you chat to a friend or family member? I mean you always have us in here to chat too, but I know that sometimes its just nice to have someone we love and care about be there for us.

@Elakiya the positive is you had family and friend support this weekend. My progesterone levels also mess with me really bad. Last week I was paranoid something terrible was going to happen and I was just waiting for it to happen (nothing happened)

I am so sorry you are feeling this I can honestly say I empathise with you, its so tough to keep going when so many around us are conceiving with little to no difficulty. I have felt this way many many times and after this last cycle I know I have gone too far because of how obsessed I became. This cycle I am going to throw myself into my work and back to reading my favourite authors during the week and get busy on the weekends. I know this is way easier said then done especially when the positive hormone estrogen leaves and is replaced by progesterone but for my mental health and sanity I have to take a step back I am also going to stop testing for pg so much.

Is there anything you can do to help take your mind off things? Do you chat to hubby about these things or is it a bit too awkward?

@Elakiya I know right hate how conflicting articles can be on Dr Google.

And its actually really really great I am 100% converted hahahaha

How are you? You have a good weekend?

@Elakiya yeah I just found a post that matches mine to a T and an expert replied and said its normal so just going to believe its normal hahahah.

Nah not arousal fluid definitely stringy lol!!

According to this girl she said its mostly first and second day of bleeding so hope mine just goes away hahaah usually my flow is considerably light on day 3 and 4.

@Elakiya that one article said its usually found in perimenopausal women 😵😵😵😵😵

@Elakiya mine is just low hard and open it doesnt really shift. I havent checked it this cycle because I stopped tracking due it just confusing the sh!t out of me and was no help whatsoever everything on google said mine was pointing to pregnancy high, soft closed for days and then bam the day AF showed it went low, hard open. Total mindscrew!!

@Boc86 wow that is really really interesting.

@Elakiya I know what you mean I am also terrible during the tww. Argh well that's really helpful lol well I am going to hope for pregnancy lol.

Guys so since this is my first time using the cup its the first time I have actually inspected my blood lol so my blood is mixed with what looks like loads of ewcm

I tried Dr Google and it was horrible most said its completely normal to have stringy blood as its just mixed with cm BUT one article said its high estrogen which is not good as I shouldnt be having high estrogen at this stage. Since my cycles are short and progesterone has dropped and taken over by estrogen I would think its normal but because of this one article I am like omg whats wrong with me 🤣🤣
