@LRW26 fingers crossed 🤞 I wouldn't get too caught up on symptoms as I had none until the nausea started at 6 weeks. I took prenegacare but also took seven seas at one point too. Seven seas was pretty cheap . Vit D is another one which is needed so would maybe add that to the mix too . Good luck in your tww ❤

Hi everyone back after another cycle and I’m 5po and have no symptoms yet. This month (cycle 12) we used clear blue advanced ovulation kits, pre-seed and legs & hips in the air for 30mins @1992EM 😂

All my tests came back normal so if it doesn’t happen this month we think OH will have to go get tested.

One thing I’ve learnt this month is I wouldn’t buy the CB ovulation kits again because they’re really expensive and I used the Easy@Home ones at the same time and they were just as accurate so if anyone was deciding which to buy, I’d go for the cheaper ones.

@apwilso fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Tabbycat92 what vitamins are you taking? I’ve been taking iron, folic acid and b12 but I’ve no idea if there’s something else better you should be taking? There’s lots of pre-natal vitamins but I read they’re just overpriced?? 🤯

@1992EM not sure it's the month I didn't test. I don't think I ovulated later than usual though and I've never had a period this late before. I'm not overly bothered at the minute so I'll leave it and see what happens xx

@apwilso how many dpo are you ? Is there a chance you could have ovulated later than you expected? x

OP posts:
apwilso · 13/03/2021 08:43

@1992EM yeah still no period and negative. Two days late so far. Just gonna leave it and see what happens

@Tabbycat92 if I haven't come on over night I'll test properly in the morning for an accurate result!

@1992EM thanks!

@DNpink82 fingers crossed!

@tabbycat1992 thank you, that is reassuring. It was literally once and haven't had it since so am hopeful. I hope you TWW goes quickly x

Feeling slightly hopeful this month 🙈 I'm on cycle #8 and used OPK's every month since starting ttc and I've never had a peak except for this month, I've got my peak Tuesdays and dtd 5 out of the 7 previous days and on ovulation day🤞🏼 this is the month even though I said I didn't want a winter baby 🙈

@1992EM sorry to hear about the spotting, im sure all is fine if you've had no more and continue to have pregnancy symptoms! When I was pregnant with my son I had a little bit of spotting at the beginning. Apparently it's just that your cervix is sensitive.

I'm sat here right now forcing myself to eat pineapple core as I heard it helps with implantation 😅🍍

@apwilso thanks , I totally freaked out and phoned the EPU. Well the 4 numbers I was given before I eventually got to speak to them. The triage system is a riot. I haven't had anything since and the sickness/nausea has got a lot worse so I am hoping all is well but also preparing myself that it could be bad news too. I have realised it is a lot more common than I ever realised and really wish they did some sort of class or group when you first find out to prepare you for what could/couldn't happen instead of leaving us to fend for ourselves until 3 months.

@apwilso @tabbycat1991 I have everything crossed for you both ❤

@apwilso you're not out until AF rears her ugly head!
Headache mainly, slight cramping, tired, etc. Obviously it's far to early to be any sort of pregnancy symptoms

apwilso · 12/03/2021 18:29

@Tabbycat92 oh no😂😂😂 it's symptom time! I'm currently late on my period but just not thinking into it too much. Did a test about 2 days ago and was BFN so just leaving it to see if my period starts overnight! What symptoms you got?

@1992EM ive heard a few people get some spotting and I heard it's quite normal. Fingers crossed anyway for you x

@apwilso sorry to hear about your BFN. I have had some spotting (well once) on Wednesday so have a scan booked in for Monday . Nothing since then so have everything crossed that they find a heart beat. ❤

Tabbycat92 · 12/03/2021 15:42

@apwilso good thanks you?
I'm 2dpo and honestly have every symptom going 😂

apwilso · 12/03/2021 14:30

How is everyone xx

apwilso · 10/03/2021 09:29

Think I'm out did a test this morning BFN period due tomorrow but feel as if it's coming today. OH is worried that he's got something wrong with him so he wants to do an at home test x

apwilso · 09/03/2021 18:26

@Tabbycat92 that's what my other half says😂

Tabbycat92 · 09/03/2021 17:30

We've tried conceive plus too, he just doesn't like lube at all... "too sloppy" 🤢😂 men! Haha.

apwilso · 09/03/2021 16:49

I rate conceive plus. OH doesn't though but not sure if it makes a difference. Fingers crossed that the vitamins work wonders everyone said pregnant after a month or so on them

Why don't you try conceive plus ? I know some people prefer that. X

OP posts:
Tabbycat92 · 09/03/2021 16:25

I'm taking a concoction of different vitamins every morning and so is DH. We tried preseed but DH wasn't keen, but we are gonna try it again in a couple days.
🤞🤞🤞

The only things I really did were legs in the air with hips raised for around 30 mins . We dtd on day of peak, day after and 1 dpo . I made sure to stay active and eat healthy etc. I only drank smoothies or diluting juice/water (not intentionally for this but was my new years resolution) . That was it really and also used preseed . I don't no if they made a difference but it worked.
