Just wondering if anyone wants to join me for a new cycle starting yesterday (or thereabouts)? AF reared her ugly head yesterday so it's new cycle time. This will be my 3rd cycle after a MMC in October last year. Let's support each other through this!

@Amz6219 YAYY congrats on that lovely clear BFP!
AF still not showing for me although I did wipe some fresh blood last night, wore a tampon to bed but only half of it had blood when I woke up today. Still only spotting today.
Was a whole mixed bag of emotions with DH last night...mostly tearful and irritable. I do get snippy with him. Blamed it on PMS last night!

@mollyaimee do you have any FRER?

Still a line for me yes... 🤞🤞🤞🤞 I think it’s pregnancy after loss that’s making me test CONSTANTLY! So anxious. X

@2020mission potentially due tomorrow if I’m going off of 29 day cycle which my last one was, but because I ovulated late, I’m thinking it could be a longer cycle so AF may not be due until Sunday!

@Amz6219 do you still have a line btw?!

2020mission · 11/02/2021 11:20

Thanks @thislittlebird! I'm thinking if I can't find any pomegranate juice that's not from concentrate, I might go for some pomegranate seeds sprinkled on breakfast instead 🤔 not as easy as just drinking juice though haha.

@purplepoppet92 I get exhausted after ovulation. I'm usually falling asleep on the sofa in the last week of my cycle... are you exhausted from DTD so much? 😆

When is AF due @mollyaimee? If you want to test rather than waiting for AF then 13 DPO should be fine for it 👍🏼

purplepoppet92 · 11/02/2021 09:48

Does anyone else get absolutely exhausted coming up to ovulation?
I cannot explain how wrecked I am. My body just feels heavy to move.
There's nothing I can do, but just looking for a little company in my self pity!

thislittlebird · 11/02/2021 09:36

Another one I found that I should mention @2020mission. Not pure pomegranate but it isn’t from concentrate and seems to have a decent amount in per carton.

@Amz6219 I am tempted to test tomorrow... surely by 13 DPO if it was going to be positive it would come up?!

Amz6219 · 11/02/2021 08:11

I say test @mollyaimee!!! X

thislittlebird · 10/02/2021 21:05

He’s gonna be thrilled with that delivery lmao @2020mission

It’s so bizarre that POM gets away with essentially passing itself off as a higher end brand. I’m a little stunned that it’s from concentrate and it hides it so well.

2020mission · 10/02/2021 20:48

I copied other ladies on MN with the POM 😅 some of them doing IVF so I just trusted they knew what they were doing. I wonder if they realise it's from concentrate 😬 Ocado don't deliver to my area so I'll have to keep looking. They have them on Amazon but would have to commit to a pack of 6 if I go that route. I think if my husband saw a pack of 6 1L bottles of pomegranate turn up he'd think I'd gone mad 😆

thislittlebird · 10/02/2021 20:34

I got the Biona and the M&S grapefruit from Ocado. I warn you though, the Biona is grim.

I’m somewhat outraged that Pom are charging £3.70 for a juice from concentrate lmao, I had no idea.

2020mission · 10/02/2021 20:32

@thislittlebird ahh I just looked and POM is from concentrate - how did I miss that? 🤣 I've been drinking it for months too. I'll need to hunt for your biona brand now. I was hoping it would help prevent another chemical if I manage to catch. Where do you get yours?

thislittlebird · 10/02/2021 20:29

Omg @2020mission, the bloody price! I tried to dodge it and bought Sainsbury’s only to realise it’s from concentrate (and it’s gross), and then tried Biona (£5 for 1L) which is in the fridge right now and that is truly disgusting. Have to mix it with orange juice, it has a weird sediment in Confused.

On the plus side, I had my scan after the first month of drinking it and I had a good womb lining so at the very least it’s not hurting and maybe it’s helping?

2020mission · 10/02/2021 20:13

@thislittlebird I know £3.70 for one bottle of POM, right? 😂 I'm on that every month too after ovulation. It tastes much better than grapefruit juice though!

thislittlebird · 10/02/2021 20:11

I just won’t test unless I’m late because and it’s so hard seeing those tests and it’s always BFN every time. I want a definitive result rather than one I can question so I’ll just hang in there.

Try your best to hold out and you’ll get a definitive answer in a few more days @mollyaimee

@purplepoppet92 yeah just one glass in the post AF to ovulation ish.

Yeah I really like the m&s one @2020mission but maybe I’m weird lol. We also tried drinking pomegranate this month which is supposed to be good for both me and DH, it’s just super expensive for the non concentrate.

mollyaimee · 10/02/2021 20:11

@2020mission oh that’s interesting about spotting... I got it the morning of AF last time for a couple of hours, really convincing me that it was implantation bleeding!! I know, the not knowing is definitely the worst for me, but as @thislittlebird said, I’m probably only going to test again even if it is positive or negative so might as well wait!!

2020mission · 10/02/2021 20:09

@purplepoppet92 yeah I drink it daily after AF ends until the end of the fertile window. They say it has chemicals in it that temporarily stops estrogen from dropping. Keeping estrogen high should help the body produce more EWCM. Worth a shot if you think more EWCM might help you!

2020mission · 10/02/2021 20:02

@mollyaimee oh I know the not knowing is the worst! Spotting is always my sign that I've not caught... it stops me from testing early most cycles as I always get the spotting days before AF except for both times I had chemicals. Its good for saving tests but bad as it means I have days of knowing I've failed when I'm not even on to the next cycle yet... hold on to the hope while you can 🙂

purplepoppet92 · 10/02/2021 19:56

@2020misson interesting.... thanks for that! Is it just 1 glass per day?

mollyaimee · 10/02/2021 19:54

@2020mission tbh, I got the negative on the frer on 8/9DPO so that’s why I’m pretty much expecting it to be negative again! But I do have the easy@home cheapies too!!

@thislittlebird I think I’m going to hold out until Sunday when my app tells me AF is due, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it turns up before then!!

Ps; I’ll come back to this on Sunday if I do manage to hold on till then😂

I think because I’m just assuming it will be negative, I’m thinking surely I can just get my answer now and be done with it 😂

2020mission · 10/02/2021 19:49

Ohh @thislittlebird I could only ever get Tropicana as all other brands I looked at were from concentrate but I never checked M&S. Next time I'm there I'll grab that pink one and give myself a change 👍🏼 although here's hoping it won't be needed 😆

thislittlebird · 10/02/2021 19:42

I got this one @2020mission and I actually like it. Maybe because it’s pink grapefruit it’s less tart? Dunno. I do think I had a little more ewcm this month. I also cracked out the preseed for the first time.

@mollyaimee Similar to mission I’d say wait. You probably won’t believe it’s legit anyway and test again in a couple of days (I know I wouldn’t, which is why I don’t bother partly).

@mollyaimee is it a FRER you've got for testing? If so, it should show at 12 DPO with FMU if you're pregnant but I know the disappointment of BFN so if I was you I'd be tempted to hold off until late unless there's an extra reason to check early other than impatience haha like before having a drink at the weekend or if you do want to check for possible chemicals happening. Also depends on how many tests I have around too for me 😅 I hate using the last one. Fingers crossed for you either way 🤞
