@candycrush2298 I'm hoping for a less erratic chart this cycle. Mine were like mountains for some reason! I think a better thermometer will help, mine was just a baby one. Yea well chuffed about the later shifts though!

I am literally spending no money this month now!! Well maybe some vitamins for hubby. I'll attach the ones hes been having.
Your hubby is invested and taking quite a few then which is good. I take folic acid, vitamin c & zinc separatel so ive not bothered getting the woman version.

Literally there's so much to all this its tiring!

I had my first 'arent you pregnant yet' at work today since being back. I say nooo not yet and laugh it off but also cry a little bit inside. I think my daughter hates how much i wont stop cuddling and kissing her. Im so grateful and lucky to have her. Just wish i could give her a sibling and make our family complete.

@Kaybobx ooooh thats amazing I am sure you are so pleased about that lol!! At least! And now for sure your temps will be more consistent so thats fab!

Lol yeah i really don't think you need to spend anymore money i definitely think you're all set. At least lol so we can actually save money this cycle lol!!

Whahahaha lets hope we have some good news when your calendar reminds you lol!!! If this cycle isn't successful my next AF predicted date is 27th September so will be close to everyone again hahahaha. Yes hoping you can ovulate nice and early and no more AFs

Omg hun are you feeling OK twice this week just for fun 😂😂😂 so proud of you sure your hubby feels like a total boss whahaahah! Yeah I am also loving the effects of maca. Think its making a big difference to my moods. Especially the week before af I am way less grumpy and mean to everyone and don't even feel tearful after the negative tests anymore hahah. Just hasnt helped me obsessing and over analysing the negative tests lol. So i have to fix that myself lol.
Yes hubby takes wellman which comes in the "his and her" pack of pregnacare its supposed to help with motility, sperm quality and sperm count as well as just overall health. He is also on maca root with me and he is on panax ginseng which is also supposed to help sperm quality and count. So yeah we are both on supplements. Was the vitabiotics an all round vitamin or preconception vitamin?

@indecisivewoman81 thanks hun!! Yeah I have heard each one is different. Just wondering if you ever thought you were out before your tww even began but thats just because I am feeling bleh.

I wouldn't think to test with a lack of pms symptoms because I have had cycles where I thought AF forgot about me and then surprise she shows up unannounced but on time lol.

Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 21:44

@candycrush2298 i haven't got any of those horrid 5.30am shifts anymore now we have recruited so my 7am each day alarm is perfect for temping👌

Yup i have tons of OPKs, soon to be PG test and that golden FRER that i won't use unless really necessary lol. I dont think im going to bother with the CB digitals anymore when the easy@home OPKs are so good.

Right I've put your date in my calendar haha. I so bloody hope this cycle is the one! Ugh my next AF is like 22nd ish of Sept. Hopefully the soy brings it forward.

I've BD twice this week and I'm not even ovulating! I do rate the macca, i feel i have more energy and feel less grumpy since taking it. Does your hubby take any vitamins? Mine started on the vitabotics but after one box we never got them again. Not sure whether we should or try something else for him.

indecisivewoman81 · 20/08/2020 21:36

@candycrush2298 I think my lack of PMS symptoms kind of hinted to me I might be pregnant which is how come I tested before AF.

But to be honest I have been pregnant 5 times and each one has felt different! One was a missed Miscarriage , one was a chemical then two live births and now this one.

@Kaybobx I know its weird i tried and failed two or three times before but now since actually setting an alarm 7 days a week I am fully trained and cant wait to see the graph progressing hahahaha.
Ooooh how exciting so you have a new thermometer new tests and you have 1 FRER left so you are 100% set for next cycle and dont need to spend a pennie which is fab!!!

I am the same got mad at myself for buying the big box of easy@home opks and tests but I will be sorted for a few cycles now. Hopefully I won't need them lol but if I do then at least I have them.

Lol OK so I am 1dpo tomorrow and AF is due on Wednesday 3rd September making it a 26day cycle according to flo app. Which is what I have been guessing as well. I really hope I can be good this cycle my emotions need me to be good lol.

Lol me too so we can bd tomorrow lol. And yes totally agree cervical position is pure evil lol

Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 21:17

@candycrush2298 i didn't think I'd get on with temping at all and forget but I've been on it every morning. I really enjoy making a graph lol. Yeah my new one will be here tomorrow and my easy@home tests Saturday. I really really really need to stop with this spending 😭

I'm never checking my CP again, what aload of tosh. Id tells lies haha.

So now we cant ask what dpo you are, when is your expected AF so we can remember?

Glad your vag is ok 🤣🤣🤣

candycrush2298 · 20/08/2020 21:02

@Kaybobx ugh lets hope tomorrow's temps answer my questions lol. If I didnt temp I wouldn't have been worried but I am enjoying temping so much I cant stop and it makes me feel more in control of knowing I definitely did ovulate without having to go for progesterone tests lol.

Awww brilliant!! Mine doesn't have a light i sleep with the windows and blinds open so I dont need a light yet but in a few months when we have such little sunlight I am going to struggle with a phone to see the temps lol. Yes definitely the little things hahaha. Let me know how it goes switching over to the new one. Hope you see more stable temps this cycle 🤞

Lol its not so sore actually haha weird I thought it would be. All swelling is gone it didn't last too long maybe like 6 hours.

Just checked my cervical position - I know i know haha. Its low and very hard. I want to think OK so maybe i have ovulated now eventually lol. But I am just going to obsess over it until my temps go up hahahah.

Is your thermometer coming tomorrow?

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 20:53

@candycrush2298 let's see what tomorrow morning temp says, hopefully that answers some questions for you.
I was worried about it messing up my cycle but meh whatever.

Im excited to get my new thermometer, it has a light on haha the simple things. I've been having to shine my phone to read the one i have now.

Hows your vag? Haha what a question. Has the swelling gone now?

I’m so fucking sore.

candycrush2298 · 20/08/2020 20:26

@NamechangeTTC sorry you having such a hard time hopefully its just a few more days and its all over xx

@Welliedays thanks hun I hope I am lol. How interesting that you just knew with your chemical. And thanks hun, glad you didn't just know from the day of ovulation haha as I have seen some women say they just knew.

@Kaybobx hahaha I dont know why I feel like this maybe I am just stressed about my temps I don't know.
ooooh that looks good. Yeah definitely go for it also because your cycles are irregular I think people who have irregular cycles took higher doses towards the end to boost them and they ovulated earlier etc. So definitely think you should go for it. I took lower because of my regular cycles which is what I saw people say.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 20:17

@NamechangeTTC i feel shite this evening too and shes not even here yet. My head is banging, im stupidly tired and have tummy ache ugh!

@candycrush2298 haha I'm glad i can be of use. Ahh no don't say that, its got to have worked. Im going to try a little different to what you took. After browsing the thread im going to try what this lady has just because shes older and already has a child so i related to her more.

Ahh no @candycrush2298, I think you're just protecting yourself without realising it. To be honest, no I really didn't and I still don't which is probably why I'm questioning it so much.. it was the tiredness that gave it away for me this time. With my chemical, I really did have the feeling that I was and the feeling stopped overnight, after a couple of days of bleeding I woke up and I just knew I wasn't anymore.. But felt totally OK about it. I didn't even test to confirm as I just knew. My husband was like 'are your sure' but I really was. Very strange!

@Kaybobx lol!!!! I know its gonna be a few weeks away still but thats OK because it means I have something to look forward too lol.

Awww hun, I know how badly you want it hope that we all have success this cycle on soy.

I just feel like it didn't work. I dont know why I already feel so pessimistic probably because progesterone has kicked in and its my mean hormone lol.
@Welliedays @indecisivewoman81 did you guys feel pregnant or know or feel positive from ovulation?

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 20/08/2020 20:00

Also sorry I’m struggling to keep up. I’m hoping for strong positives for everyone still in. I just can’t keep up.

NamechangeTTC · 20/08/2020 20:00

Thanks for the link

I feel horrific. One of the worst ever periods. I’ve got wfh tomorrow I’m that bad.

It’s like the worlds heaviest period. I’m going to have to resort to tranaxemic acid. I feel shit.

I’m still getting the right sided pain.

Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 19:58

@Elakiya oh heyyy! I don't envy you, i hate studying.
I changed my mind because even though i knew those postive tests i had were in fact negative that feeling i initially got has made me realise i want a baby so friggin much!! Ive been trying for a year, whatever I'm doing now clearly isnt working so sod it. Ive been reading those forums the last 2 days also and with all the successes it changed my mind.

@candycrush2298 haha i can help feed your addiction. Although its a long way away until i start testing again 😭 why are my cycles sooooo long

candycrush2298 · 20/08/2020 19:54

@Elakiya sorry I always push post before I am done typing lol.

Ugh how annoying about your gynae maybe text them tomorrow since its been over 2 days already. What are you contacting them for if I may ask? Is it to book your appointment?
Studying is boring but the rewards will be so worth it

@Elakiya heyyyyyyyy!!! Glad to hear from you.

Yes two days one was an obvious strong peak (strongest I have ever gotten) and while the next days tests weren't as dark they were still 100% positive opks. Today was negative. Temps havent risen yet so think thats cuz of the two day peaks or at least thats what I am telling myself because I am freaking out that my temps havent spiked 😂😂😂 even though google says its normal and looking at others charts it looks normal I am not convinced because of my temps last cycle.

@Kaybobx you're welcome!!! Now I guess we just wait hahaha... all this waiting!! Its OK I live through your early testing whahahaha!!

@Welliedays I only have a 12 day luteal phase so its only testing 3 days early for me. Better than the 5 day every other time 😂😂😂 unlike you I would be testing everyday if I were to get a positive as like @ReginaaPhalange I want that line progression for my fertility journal.
As for the symptoms lol I can only imagine how you overanalyse everything I so hope to experience it!!

OP posts:
Elakiya · 20/08/2020 19:49

Popped by to say hello

@candycrush2298 did you have a two day peak this time or did I misread that?

@ReginaaPhalange brilliant on the earlier ovulation. How long was first surge to AF last time? You can use that to predict when AF is due ( and hopefully won’t arrive). Due to the continuous surges I find that my apps can be slightly off at predicting my AF.

@Kaybobx think I saw you mention Soy? What made you change your mind?

I contacted my gynae but haven’t heard back yet. Usually replies from his secretary are quite instant but it’s been 48 hrs now and I am getting impatient lol. I’ll wait until tomorrow and if not I will text her on Monday to see.

Studying is boring 💤

Welliedays · 20/08/2020 19:38

You really are @candycrush2298, I'm impressed! I think I was about 10dpo when I did my first test and tbh I half wish I hadn't now as now in stressing AF will turn up but if I hadn't tested it wouldn't be quite the same stress 🤷🏼‍♀️ when you get your 10dpo positive though I can guarantee you will go from overanalysing every small single symptom as a sign to telling yourself that your symptoms are in your head and you're fine really ahahahaha tired... No definately not, I'm always tired. Sore boobs, nope, they're always like this 🙄

Kaybobx · 20/08/2020 19:37

@candycrush2298 oooo yayyy thank you I'll get those now, cant wait to try them. I'd love to say im not going to go crazy and test everyday like you are but its the highlight of my month haha!!
