Ohhh also @glasspaw so glad you are staying with us ☺️ how you feeling about it all now? Xxx

KayL1988 · 17/06/2021 07:27

Urgh last message cut off. Welcome @HerbivorousRex and @Sparklingwine1 xxx

KayL1988 · 17/06/2021 07:26

Yayyy for sushi @HRP1990 .. it keeps me going .. alllll the sashimi!

Hahah @SkeletonSkins I did wonder about your name. Kids are so funny 😅

That's so strange @Peachycream I did the same last month with OPKs and mine was all over the place I need to look into LH more. This month I'm trusting my CB fertility monitor.. which won't let me stick any little sticks in anyway 😅

Welcome @

HRP1990 · 17/06/2021 07:19

Welcome @HerbivorousRex 👋🏻 Cycle 1 is so exciting! Where do you live aboard? I’d do the same, buy in bulk and technically you’re saving by only paying 1 delivery charge 😂

I think implantation can occur from 6DPO so I’d be symptom spotting like mad haha

HerbivorousRex · 17/06/2021 07:15

Please can I join too!

This is our first cycle of TTC baby number 1.

I only had the Mirena coil out at the beginning of last week, but the doctor said I could start trying straight away (although it might take a little while for everything to go back to normal). According to the CB OPKs I ovulated a few days after it was removed and now I’m on day 6 of the TWW.

I’m not massively hopeful for this month. But that has stopped me bulk ordering pregnancy tests (I live abroad and can’t get FRER unless I pay a fortune to have them shipped by Amazon- which obviously I have done 😂).
I’m also very aware that implantation won’t have actually taken place yet but I’m already looking for symptom spotting (very logically I know the dog is only following me around because he thinks I have food and not because he has some 6th sense that I’m pregnant! 🐾)

Peachycream · 17/06/2021 07:15

This is what I’m thinking @HRP1990 I was just fully expecting it to be higher today and when it wasn’t I was a bit like…….wtf?! 😂

By this point in my life I’m not even sure myself now 😂 my app says 19th so when’s that? Saturday?

Morning girls 👋🏻 Loved reading a little bit more about you all.

Welcome @Sparklingwine1! Hopefully we can help continue the zen!

@SkeletonSkins love the story behind your name, kids are so random I love it 😂

Yes a fellow sushi lover! @KayL1988 🍱🥟

@Peachycream I wouldn’t look into it toooo much, as this is your cycle it could just be normal for your body at this time? 🤷🏻‍♀️ When is 🧙🏻‍♀️? I really should know your cycle by now😂

Peachycream · 17/06/2021 06:54

Yeah @CTMcG I’m also pretty sure that’s BBT. I have no idea what the deal is here 🤷‍♀️

Maybe I didn’t ovulate? Maybe it’s just normal fluctuation?

In all fairness, there’s literally no reason I should still be using OPKs right now, it’s just something to do at this point 😂 all I know is, I don’t know what’s going on 😂 so essentially, I know nothing.

Welcome @Sparklingwine1 I’m glad you’re feeling more chilled lovely 🥰 fingers crossed for your TWW!

Sparklingwine1 · 17/06/2021 06:43

Hi all,
Can I join please 😄

I'm 30 and TTC #1. This is our 3rd cycle of trying and I'm currently 5DPO (27 day cycle).

I'm feeling much more chilled this month than previous months.

This was my 2nd month using OPKs. Last month I got a very clear peak, this month I did get a clear peak but it wasn't as high as last month so I'm not sure what's going on there 🤷🏻‍♀️

CTMcG · 17/06/2021 06:43

@SkeletonSkins ohh are they like vitamins or do you also take multi vitamins on top of them? Will definitely look into it!

@KayL1988 thank you!!

@Peachycream i hear people talking about implantation dips?!? I think that may be bbt tho and not opks but could be wrong!

Peachycream · 17/06/2021 06:24

Update

The Saga of The Mysterious Rising LH

I’ve decided to turn this into a mini series 😂

So in a new development LH has dropped again, down to next to nothing after being quite high (relatively speaking) for what I would assume it to be for this point in my cycle (12DPO for anyone keeping track still at this point 😂)

I have no idea what’s going on as it was steadily rising from 8DPO up until today, where it has now bombed.

Answers on a postcard please

@Peachycream of COURSE I’m staying with you lot! I’m very emotionally invested in all of your future BFPs!

KayL1988 · 16/06/2021 22:50

Oh and I pop prenatal vitamins (pregnacare) vit d drops and omega but moving over to proceive now I've nearly run out of pregnacare.

KayL1988 · 16/06/2021 22:48

Congrats @CTMcG on the house!

Haha @Peachycream and @HRP1990 me passing round a cheese board and sipping on some wine whilst you all talk cervix scouting. Maybe after a few months I'll start scouting up there.... I'm keeping myself busy with everything else.

💁🏼‍♀️ I'm 32, TTC our first, first full cycle trying (tried to start last month but ovulation tested too late). All the gear no idea .. clear blue fertility tracker, cheapy sticks and bbt tracking.

2DPO and typically 27/28 day cycle so starting the fun TWW! Oh and big 🧀 🍷
🍣 fan

SareBear87 · 16/06/2021 22:47

Hi all! Just checking in! Thanks @Peachycream for the new thread!

I'm 33 (DP is 46), TTC #1, this is our 7th month of trying, currently on CD17/3dpo, regular 28/29 day cycles, I came off the pill in Dec. I do OPKs and take folic acid and cod liver tabs (only because I'm not a huge fan of oily fish so think that's the only vitamin I'm probably lacking).

This group is honestly keeping me sane! Work is a nightmare (I'm NHS) so the humour on here provides some much needed giggles!

No one knows we are TTC so I'm glad for the forum to chat!

Nothing is TMI, well not for me! I've learnt so much since TTC that it's almost embarrassing I didn't know it before!!

GingerTea333 · 16/06/2021 22:28

I love this! It’s like a meeting of cervix prodders anonymous 😂

I am 33, TTC no 1, on cycle 8 of trying properly but had a few months before that of kind of trying without really knowing when to do it. Trying to stay positive but getting tougher every month but this thread and you ladies have really helped make it fun again 😘

Either ovulating today or tomorrow so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

SkeletonSkins · 16/06/2021 22:27

Also incase anyone wonders about my random name, I used to be a primary school teacher before I left to retrain, and a little boy came up to me one morning and before I’d even said hello, asked me why do skeletons have skins 😂 and so I explained about protecting our body etc etc and he said ‘but are we the skeleton or are we the skins? Cause we can see the skins but they just cover the bones’ and I said well I guess we’re the brain really, and he said ‘nah we’re just a bunch of skeleton skins’ and it stuck with me for ages 😂😂 love the random stuff kids come out with.

SkeletonSkins · 16/06/2021 22:22

@CTMcG honestly look into the conceive plus ovulation support, I sound like I’m selling it 😂😂 but I started taking it and came on literally days later, had a shorter period with no period pains and I’ve seen other ladies have much shorter cycles. I’ve also had really long cycles so far and tracking my BBT has made me realise my body is trying to ovulate but failing a couple of times before it gets over the line😂 I’m hoping the boost feom the supplements helps it over the line a bit quicker 😂😂

SkeletonSkins · 16/06/2021 22:20

Oh I ordered that preseed lube but I’ve not used it yet as I’m not wasting it before there’s a chance of ovulation 😂😂😂

SkeletonSkins · 16/06/2021 22:20

Yay checking into the new thread how exciting! Hi @80sPadme, this is such a great thread to join, I’ve really enjoyed chatting with others in the same position!!!

So I’m 29, TTC #1 and this is my first cycle, currently CD9. I have PCOS and came off the pill in January, have had three 50 days cycles since then (although each has been slightly shorter each time) but started taking Conceive plus ovulation support this cycle which has good reviews for shortening the cycle and appears to be doing something so I’m really hoping this month is shorter.

Yes @PurpleCat88 so I take Conceive plus ovulation support which is meant to help regulate cycles for irregular ladies, and then I take the fertility support which has the prenatal hormone etc in it. I’m also taking vitamin d as I’ve heard that’s good for PCOS. I lost two stone between Christmas and April to get my BMI back to healthy (cheers to lockdown for the extra pounds ha!) as weight can play a part in pcos too I think.

CTMcG · 16/06/2021 22:19

@Peachycream literally nothing needs done to it and the owners have been renting it out and the tenants are moving out in 2 weeks so as soon as mortgage is sorted we are ready to go! Tonight we had an apt with a mortgage broker who put in our first decision in principle so should know in a few days if its accepted and then we move onto the actual application that can take 4 weeks! Id say completion in August hopefully!

Yeah the doc said its normal to skip a period every now and again... premom app has me at 3dpo but im dubious about that... my opk 'peak' was a measly '1' 3 days ago- think thats due to all my other opks being extremely low. Today my cm changed from creamy to egg white like so dtd tonight but i really think i am out until next cycle.

I think tracking bbt is the way forward for me along with opks, just wish af would show up so i can start properly and track better! Im off to bed but will catch up tomorrowSmilexx

Peachycream · 16/06/2021 22:11

Ahhh welcome back @CTMcG! I wasn’t sure if you was still about or not.

That’s exciting news about the new house though! When are they looking to complete or do you not know that yet? Is it one you’re going to do any work to? Having something to focus on other than AF showing up will be a good thing, give you some time to refocus kinda thing?

57?! You must be coming up for your next period by now? How are you getting on with the OPKs have you spotted a peak yet?

Does anyone else feel really weird about seeing our old thread slowly drop down the page, I have a bit of separation anxiety about it 😂

OP posts:
CTMcG · 16/06/2021 22:06

@Peachycream hii everyone!!

I disappeared for a bit but still lurking on and off! hope everyone is good!

Wee recap - i am 31, ttc#1 STILL in 1st cycle, i am now on cd57 Confused i have pcos but my longest cycle since coming off pill 6 months ago was 45 days so i am way beyond that now and its so typical that it is the first cylce ttc as last cycle was my shortest yet at 34 days!

The only thing keeping me sane is last week dh and i went sale agreed on our first home so thats came at a good time as its keeping me distracted... some of the time!

Dannii892 · 16/06/2021 22:02
