So I’m out AGAIN!

Trying to move forward.

Anyone else hoping to conceive a Feb baby?

I’d be due around Feb 20th if this month actually does anything!

Jumping back on here, I assumed I'd be on the next month as I had what seemed like a normal period bang on time. However, at CD10, I've been feeling a bit off this afternoon, tummy a bit sore and lower back ache, something felt off, so I tested (I know, random), it's positive!! So I should be due February 😊 hoping it's going to be okay as I had what seemed like a normal period!

Feeling dizzy but test negative. Is that a symptom?

@HR2022 implantation bleeding isn't a requirement of being pregnant! Most people don't get any bleeding before a bfp x

@allthingssparkly I use the pregnacare preconception vitamins - interestingly the study I was reading earlier about caffeine and conception found that taking multi vitamins was positively correlated to successful pregnancy / reduced early losses so definitely worth it!

@Tropicana1 yes that's true actually, I just struggle to believe I am with my negative test on cd29 :( who knows I'm not very good at being optimistic! Xx

Thank you @Charl881 I'm definitely going to get some pre conception vitamins ordered so I can started taking them this cycle, fingers crossed they help! 🤞

Charl881 · 05/06/2022 12:31

@allthingssparkly im taking pregnacare conception as is DP, I’m sure they helped when TTC DS. I’m also now taking vitamin d and coq10.

Charl881 · 05/06/2022 12:30

@BiscuitLover3678 i do think if I’m not pregnant again in a couple of cycles I’m going to try to reduce my caffeine intake, just because I want to feel like I’m doing everything I can. Sorry your test was negative this morning.

Hi all! Is it okay for me to join? I am 5DPO and TTC #1. I have woken up this morning with stomach cramps and a headache since last night that just won't budge! My app says I'm not due on until the 13th so strange for me to have AF symptoms already but I think it is too early to be having any signs?!

allthingssparkly · 05/06/2022 11:34

You never know @HR2022 keep us updated 😊😊🤞🤞 xx

Aww @BiscuitLover3678 so sorry to hear this.. where abouts in your cycle are you?

HR2022 · 05/06/2022 09:53

@allthingssparkly yes I will probs test tomorrow morning.. although the likelihood of me actually being pregnant I think is extremely low.. if I was testing negative with FMU on cycle day 29 and I've had no implantation bleeding, then surely I'm not...😭

Still no sign of AF yet though but she'll come next weekend no doubt!! Xx

Thank you, ah that's a good idea actually I will have a look on there too @HR2022 thank you 😊

Are you testing tomorrow? X

HR2022 · 05/06/2022 09:42

allthingssparkly · 05/06/2022 09:41

Thank you @HR2022 I will order some from Boots and start them this cycle. How long have you been taking them? X

I started them when I came off the pill in April :)
I ordered mine on Amazon if you don't want to go into town to get them xx

I've had a Google search and can't find anything regarding coffee and ttc it's more been cautious of caffeine intake when pregnant from what I've read @BiscuitLover3678

Wow that's crazy, caught pregnant on double protection 😳

I'm tempted to start some pre conception vitamins this cycle, maybe the seven seas trying for a baby ones. I don't know what else I can do, I dont have any other issues that would affect my fertility so I suppose its just a case of carrying on and being patient for me 🙈 x

@allthingssparkly I'm using the seven seas ones, I got recommended them by a friend who's currently pregnant xx

allthingssparkly · 05/06/2022 09:33

It really is, I just want this period done with now, I suffer so bad with awful period pains when I'm on as well @Tropicana1 👎👎 x

Tropicana1 · 05/06/2022 09:29

@allthingssparkly 😟 it's so hard isn't it when you get your hopes up.

@BiscuitLover3678 I looked it up the other day because I'm drinking a lot of coffee at the moment and there weren't any conclusive research papers definitively finding that caffeine when TTC reduces conception (although obviously there may be more out there I didn't see) so on that basis I continue 😂

Thank you @HR2022 🤍

HR2022 · 05/06/2022 09:08

@allthingssparkly aw so sorry to hear this, sending you an air hug 🫶🏼

@BiscuitLover3678 - I stick to one coffee a day but only out of choice, as you say there isn't much data/stats that I can find when TTC and coffee.. only when you're actually pregnant. How are you doing? Xx

I'm intrigued @BiscuitLover3678 does coffee have an affect on ttc? Because I'm a firm coffee lover 😬😬 sometimes I'll have decaffeinated other times I won't 🙈 ☕

Me too. I’m worried that maybe that’s impacting it? I’m not going crazy but I’m not giving it up as find it hard to cope and this journey is too long.

There is researching of it increasing miscarriage but in terms of TTC I can’t find much info.

Someone I know has just fallen pregnant by accident whilst using double protection! She has another child same age as mine and the same age.
