Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

@JosieB68 aw congratulations! ☺️

@Saribon totally, I don’t like telling him too much either. I tell him when I get a negative or when AF arrives but to him it’s not the end of the world every month whereas I’m gutted 🙄 I try not to mention it much other than that since I feel like it kind of takes any romance out things if you’re purely doing it to get a baby 🙈

JosieB68 · 20/11/2022 17:54

Confirmed today at 15dpo, could not be happier!

My period still hasn't arrived so I've done another test and there's a definitely line but I just dunno if it's an actual line or an evap or what
Not sure how good this brand of tests are
I feel all crampy as tho my period is on the way but.then questionable tests mess with my head

@BCxx me too! My partner doesn't like to talk about it or focus on it too much. He thinks we should just let things happen as and when they happen. I literally just pass him the coneption vitamins and aside from dtd he isn't very interested (Im only kidding). He just doesn't want it to take over. He is almost superstitious about it so if I didn't have this site I'd go mad.

BCxx · 19/11/2022 15:10

@Saribon 😂 laughing at this, totally! The internet makes you an expert on every subject in the world of TTC. I can’t imagine having to go through all of this just in my own head though and not be able to tell strangers online 😂

Saribon · 18/11/2022 21:03

I know, I didn't even check when I was ovulating when I had my kids first time round. I knew it happened roughly two weeks after my period and that was it! I got pregnant with little effort, took one test and waited for my 12 week scan.

This time round I feel like a scientist and a herbalist 😜 and it's all so much more stressful

BCxx · 18/11/2022 20:42

@Saribon 😂 yeah I didn’t know exactly what the risks of it were but it just didn’t sound all that great so stopped it 🙈 I think the maca root probably did the same, my ovulation went from cd20 to 16 but that could have been a coincidence. Really hoping it’s closer to 14 this time! You end up with a whole handful to swallow every day 😂 I did none of this last time, just took the prenatal ones and off I went

TulipVictory · 18/11/2022 20:39

@2021lady sorry I can't see anything but I would've thought that if AF was due now then the line would be darker? Maybe test in a few days if AF hasn't arrived x

Saribon · 18/11/2022 19:49

@BCxx yeah I chickened out with agnus cactus a few months ago. I'm going to stop with the starflower until next cycle. I saw the improvement in EWCM after taking them a week so no need to continue through the month. They might last me a bit longer then as well. I can see these vitamins being an expensive necessity.

2021lady · 18/11/2022 15:59

Guys I'm due on today and done a test as af hadn't arrived. And I can see a line but not sure if it's evap or indent. What do you guys think??
You do have to zoom to see the line like

@Knov20 sorry AF has arrived 😞 I’m on day 4 and have dusted myself off ready to go again. Try to take it as a positive that you might be getting a Christmas bfp 🎉

Knov20 · 18/11/2022 11:56

Well I think I'm out...I thought I had some implantation bleeding yesterday but its continued today and more of it so guessing its just my period 😔

BCxx · 18/11/2022 11:55

managed to book my smear this morning for cd17 which should hopefully work out okay if I ovulate nearer cd14! If I’m that early on in the tww I wouldn’t even have the possibility of being pregnant so it should be fine. I was waiting on them reading out an appointment later on in December and having to tell the receptionist we were trying but luckily she got me in early 😂

BCxx · 18/11/2022 11:53

@Tweetypie27 congratulations! Hope you have a healthy 9 months 🎉

BCxx · 18/11/2022 11:53

@Saribon I’m taking maca root which I think has a similar effect and stopped it last month at ovulation then had planned to take agnus castus the second half of my cycle but chickened out because I’d heard mixed reviews on it 🙈 it seems to be one of those things people really just do their own thing with

Saribon · 18/11/2022 10:13

Hey, I'm now 5dpo and I used vitamins and fertililly this month so I'm hopeful but not feeling anything unusual as yet.

Does anyone know if I should take starflower oil for the entire cycle or just before ovulation? That stuff is impressive. I hardly saw any EWCM until this month and I only started them this cycle.

I'm taking the vit c and b6 entire cycle I just wasn't sure about the starflower

hi ladies I got my BFP 6 days late this month. Never happened with my other children I was so shocked it was also so faint it didn’t get any proper line till day 8. Thought I would come in and post my symptoms which only started a few days before my period was due. I know how much I symptom spotted 😂
No discharge at all it’s been dry as anything.
sex hurt a bit like it was bruised slightly inside.
Migraine
coldsore
stuffy nose
my boobs didn’t hurt at all till my period was four days late so I thought I was defo out as they always hurt.
The day before my faint positive I had the most weird symptom I felt a strong pulsating in my left ovary it literally last 20/30 seconds like a heartbeat feeling but in my belly.
Night sweats they started about five days before my BFP.
Hope this helps someone and good luck xx

BCxx · 17/11/2022 23:25

@Daisy155 can’t believe you’re still managing to hold off, that’s dedication 😅 are you testing at the weekend?

Aixenprov · 17/11/2022 22:50

AF due Sunday after 35 day cycle. Been super sleepy and even felt a bit sick this morning so I'm really hopeful but I did also symptom spot the last 2 months and BFN.

Daisy155 · 17/11/2022 06:46

Thank you so much @kizzy97 same to you as well good luck xx

kizzy97 · 17/11/2022 06:02

Everything crossed for you too @Daisy155 xx

BCxx · 16/11/2022 20:46

@staceymarieox definitely good news rather than bad! I’m one day ahead of you 😅 here’s hoping we have normal cycles this month

Daisy155 · 16/11/2022 19:27

@staceymarieox sorry to hear AF arrived but I know what you mean it’s a relief once it arrives sometimes! My cycle is currently 39 days long 😅

I wish you a BFP this next cycle and also @kizzy97 @Ncl31

I am currently 7dpo and I am so tempted to do Frer but I am holding off. Hubby wants me to test but I won’t I don’t want to be disappointed just in case so I will wait until AF due date x

Ncl31 · 16/11/2022 13:28

@staceymarieox
sorry to hear AF has arrived but I know how you feel, I am CD54 today. I know I’m out so just want AF to arrive!
I’ve been cramping all morning but still no sign :(

good luck for your next cycle
