Hey everyone! Cycle 3 starts today, I was disappointed but I'm fine now. I seem to have 9 day luteal phases which isn't ideal but I'm all in this cycle and am going to do the following:

-SMEP
-Proceive supplements
-Ferti-lily
-Agnus castus (to try lengthen LP)
-Pre-seed

Anyone starting their cycle again want to join me?

@Fifi1086 ooh good idea. Yeah vitamin c helps. I take vitamin c too! Mine are around 27/28 days and usually ovulate between 12-14 days but I use OPKs to know when x

@AKcheer my cycles are 29 days but didn't ovulate until cd20 which is annoying as I've a short luteal phase. Going to try agnus castus this month to lengthen it and a higher dose of vit C

Can I join please? I'm on CD6 today and will start using my clearblue ovu sticks with the one step cheapies aswell. Im on folic acid and vitamin D and have bought pre seed to try this month. We have recently moved in together and we usually DTD every night or every other 🙈 So really don't see why this month isn't my month. Fingers crossed for everyone SmileSmile

@Fifi1086 telling me about it regarding AF mine is stop start. I mean I wish it would just get on with it so we can work towards getting into our ovulation window!

@AKcheer my cycles are usually 31 days. However last month it decided to be 37 days and now I’m having the most annoying slow AF ever. How about you?

I’m going to get some Pineapple juice as well. I’ve also heard pomegranate juice is good leading up to Ovulation so might get some of that as well. I guess we will try anything 🙂

Hi guys! CD2 for me - going onto cycle 8 of trying it’s been about 7 months. It’s a roller coaster isn’t it? I’m ok about it today I mean I knew it was coming at the weekend so I had a good cry. But what can I do?
Just keep trying and trying - I’m quite healthy so is my husband. We have the right vitamins, I drink raspberry tea leaf? I have maca root, we use conceive plus, we BD at least every other day. I have pineapple 1dpo-5dpo to help implantation what else can I do! I’m just hoping i just need to be patient but hopefully this is a lucky month for us all!
Nice to see people on the same type of day as you!
How longs everyone’s cycles?

@Timetobeamummy my DP Is a bit fed up of listening to me too 😂😂 I think he just wants me to want him for his body 🤷🏻‍♀️

@tulips87 I find the CB OPKs great! Although I get my peak with them about 3 days before I actually ovulate. I temp too so I can pinpoint exactly.

My brain is still trying to trick me into thinking this is an implantation bleed. I had spotting yesterday then some watery red blood first thing but a good bit of it obv from during the night, but haven't had anything since. Why can't it just be full flow or nothing 😂

Hey @Fifi1086 CD3 for me cycle 3. Like you I'll be putting everything in to it this month and if nothing happens then will take the 'relaxed' approach.
I decided to tempt but did that happen....?nope! My sleep has been really bad the last few nights so haven't got around to starting it and probably won't get to.
I have the CB OPK's and the cheapies. I will try SMEP if I can keep up with it and we have already been using conceive plus. I'm also on pregnacare this month so....let's see how it goes!
Good luck to you all x

Hi everyone

Can I join please? CD2 for me today, was super disappointed last cycle AF was 6 days late and I was hopeful. TTC cycle 2 for me this month will do temps and OPKs this month.

@Fifi1086 men for sure don’t get it. My OH was like oh well let’s see next month. To be honest I think he was getting sick of me discussing symptoms and just general pregnancy chat probably glad of the rest for 10 days 🤣

@LemonDrizzle44 I'm the same 😂😂 when I told him this morning that AF had arrived, he was like "you can't be disappointed every month it doesn't happen"... I was like, have we met???

Men just don't get it 😂

@Fifi1086 each cycle that goes past I get a little more obsessive. More so now as it's been over 6 months and I thought it would have happened by now! My cycles range from 27-34 days so was trying the casual/regular approach and we'd usually catch ovulation day or a day or two before. DP doesn't know I'm using OPKs 😬🤦🏻‍♀️ he didn't want DTD to become planned so am trying to do this on the sly 😂.

Hey @LemonDrizzle44 ! I sometimes wonder would the casual approach be better but I'm too obsessive 😂😂 we basically did SMEP unintentionally last month but I'm going to properly give it a go this cycle. I really thought I'd be pregnant this time

LemonDrizzle44 · 25/02/2021 12:50

Hi. I'm CD2 on cycle 7. Felt a little down yesterday convincing myself there's something wrong with either myself or DP 🤦🏻‍♀️.
DP and I have been trying the casual approach with no success. I track my temps and added in OPKs last month. Am tempted to try SMEP this month.
