Hello! Continuation of our last thread… All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey. Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! 😊✨ January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month! With giggles and lots of support along the way. Welcome!

[quote Newbiemg]@RMS0209 oh yes the Impryl I think are good! I read such good reviews and my sister is convinced they worked for her. I think if I need to next cycle I will go back to them. They’re on the more expensive side for supplements but if they work it’s worth it [/quote]
@Newbiemg they definitely smell better than the ones we used last cycle.. reminds me of dog treats smell this one is like orangey - potential buy for you next month IF need be! Are you doing anything different this cycle minus the EPO/supplements? X

RMS0209 · 05/02/2022 13:25

@SMD16 I think that's a good idea, and if you have a rough idea.. enjoy the weekend and BD when and if you can
Sending dust x

@SMD16 I think that’s a good idea. It’s early days and you don’t want any added stress as that won’t help. Plus it’s probably best to listen to your body if you get good signs of ovulation like ewcm and cramps etc. Sending baby dust ✨🤞

So I've decided not to do the tests as it's too much extra to think about at the minute. Due to Ovulate Monday so just going to enjoy our weekend and let it flow. I do have a lot of EWCM though so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@Bluets I see a line there too 🥰

@newbiemg don't worry I ament taking the EPO this cycle either, I bought the supplements you said your sister gave you the impryl I think you said? so just taking them with my iron & vitamin D, I'm vegetarian so the iron is just an added extra 😃.

But best to not use if not 100% sure! Don't want a repeat of last cycle (which we are so sure was a one off) x

AG88 · 05/02/2022 11:44

@Pops100 I'm roughly 13-15dpo but not 100% certain. I'm now on day 30 for a normal 28day cycle - still mildly cramping but no period yet...getting nervous now 🤣

Pops100 · 05/02/2022 11:43

@Bluets yeah so annoying I was on it for over 10 years so felt lucky I had what seems like a normal cycle this month 🤞🏼 thank you I'll check that out!

🤣🤣🤣 can't wait to hear about it, fingers crossed for you ✨✨✨

@RMS0209 @Newbiemg thanks ladies I think I'll test again as after all it came in a pack of 2🤣🤣 but gonna wait till Monday or Tuesday morning if af has stayed away!

@RMS0209 I maybe should have kept up with the EPO for more cycles but I was a little worried. Last cycle has thrown me off. Shorter cycle and short luteal phase and my ovulation date was later.

I don’t know what caused that to happen so I just stopped all the supplements incase and trying (probably failing lol) to keep relaxed and not stressed to see if things go back to normal x

@Pops100 I used to get loads of ewcm but then it just stopped and now I get barely anything. I do get creamy cm after ovulation but I don’t get any of the fertile kind before. I tried EPO last cycle to help but it didn’t do much. I stopped it this cycle because I had a weird cycle so thought I’d stop taking too many supplements.

Sorry that you got a negative. Will you test again or just wait to see if AF arrives?

OP posts:

Bluets · 05/02/2022 11:36

Share away @Newbiemg I hope that means you're gearing up for a very fertile week!

@pops100 oh it's so tough all these calculations particularly when you've been on birth control, how many cycles have you not been using it now? Hopefully you'll start to build up a picture of what your cycles look and feel like and feel more confident with how long they typically last (if you're not already!) I listened to an audiobook called Period Power by Maisie Hill last year and it was so great at helping me understand my cycle, I'd recommend it to anyone! Plus it uses inclusive language which makes it even better imo.

Telling my OH, I think I'll just throw a positive stick at him (if I get one) and see how he reacts! Xx

RMS0209 · 05/02/2022 11:34

[quote Pops100]@Newbiemg do you get much cm ? I never really have!

Yeah I tested this morning woke up to a banging headache but negative!

That's my dogs head 😂😂[/quote]
Still early... still time for that to change we will stay positive 😃🥰

RMS0209 · 05/02/2022 11:34

@Newbiemg are you using the EPO? It's ok I had a similar feeling on Wednesday... my partner didn't know what was happening 😂😀 x

Pops100 · 05/02/2022 11:33

Pops100 · 05/02/2022 11:26

This is where I get confused because the app goes off a basic 28 day cycle for me as I'm unsure what I am normally because of birth control however I had my peak on cd15 which then dropped on cd16 but it's saying I'm 11dpo and due af on Tuesday? @Bluets

Have you thought about how you're going to tell oh yet? 🥰🥰 love hearing peoples plans xx

Newbiemg · 05/02/2022 11:26

Sorry for the TMI about to follow but I also feel wetter down there lol. I haven’t got EWCM or anything (only CD6) but I feel a constant wetness last night and today which is good I’m thinking because maybe I’m going to get more CM 🤞

@Pops100 Are you going to test today?

OP posts:

Bluets · 05/02/2022 11:22

Thanks everyone! I'll keep you updated whatever happens.

@pops100 I'm 10 DPO, I have 28/29 day cycles so I'm currently on CD26. Period due Monday if 28 days. I think I ovulated CD16 as I got my highest OPK readings early morning CD15 and then the evening reading was back to low that day.

Pops100 · 05/02/2022 11:12

@Bluets yaaaaay🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 looks like a line!! ✨✨✨

I think I'm a day behind on your dpo as I'm due on Tuesday how many days did you say you was?Xx

Newbiemg · 05/02/2022 11:12

OPK today on CD6 is 0.32 low on Premom with SMU. I’m hoping to ovulate earlier in my cycle than last time just incase I get a short luteal phase again. Maybe if I ovulate earlier I will have more days before AF or hopefully no AF and be able to test. Waiting game now

@Pickles91 Happy Belated Birthday 🥳

@lakejupiter Good luck with inseminations 😊

@Bluets I can see a line! Yay! 🤞✨

@RMS0209 Yes AF has gone so did a test this morning and got a blank circle. First one so expected. Line OPKs I’ll start this afternoon. Have a lovely weekend too x

@Bluets

Okay well the "waiting to test a while" proclamation of just one hour ago went out the window. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I got a positive. I have a pack of Clear Blue which I'll use tomorrow, the up to 6 days early with words ones so it's less of a guess. But the 1st Response I'm seeing a faint line. Trying not to get my hopes up and manage my expectations until I miss my period or not. But also want to cry with joy. You're the first people I'm telling, I don't want to tell my partner until I'm more certain either way!!

Attached a pic, sorry bad lighting and on top of my duvet 😂

@Bluets I see a line!!!! X

RMS0209 · 05/02/2022 09:25

Morning All!

@lakejupiter glad to hear Co parent arrived! Sending you lots of luck with inseminations 🤞🏻

@Pickles91 yes happy belated birthday 🥳
@Cookiedough123 hope you feel better soon

@Newbiemg AF all gone? Another flashy today so hopefully still going in the right direction. Hope you can start testing today

Hope everybody has a fabulous weekend with hopefully lots of BD, or positive testing
Xx

Morning everyone 🌞 Just catching up, happy birthday to you @pickles91 I hope you had a lovely time celebrating!

To my cycle twin @pops100 keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow's test.

I hope all goes well over the next few days for you @lakejupiter

@cookiedough123 that sounds really rough, hope you feel better soon.

Really good to read all these OPK tips, very useful! I just tracked on paper this cycle but might give the app a go next cycle so I have to rely less on my eyeballs!

I was meant to be testing today but I think I'm going to wait a while longer too. Period due on Monday. I feel like it's coming to be honest. Although I did have a headache so bad it made me feel so sick, even in the height of the pain I thought 'well maybe this means I'm pregnant" oh dear!! I think probably just a headache.
