Hi ladies,

who wants to join for the tww? I had peak fertility on 25/02/23. So I think I may have ovulated 26/02/23.

now in the tww.

who wants to join?

I’m TTC#2, month 8 of TTC this time. 16 months TTC #1.

I can’t say I’m feeling particularly hopeful. I’m used to the disappointment (again), sadly.

@Piglet34 awh but im so glad u can move on now 💗 yeh i read so much even about the pregnacare i was taking and just decided to stop after a month and now jus take folic acid crazy how a vit can alter somethin so much!!

Piglet34 · 19/03/2023 07:29

Phew ladies my AF came in full force yday with the worst cramps but I don't even care as just so glad it came and I can move on!

I actually stopped taking my seven seas trying for a baby tablets and it came the next day! I'm now wondering if that's why I was spotting so much this month because my AF never properly came last month (just one day) so loads of old blood must have been left 😩 so annoyed I ever took them, definitely only taking folic acid from now on.

I get what you mean, I'm beating myself up about every month that's passed and wondering why it didn't work, when it's at the exact right moment etc, and sperm was waiting on the little egg. Depressing as hell! 😔
But yes @Freya8 we have each other! Thank god! Lol xxxx

Floralsandsmiles · 16/03/2023 21:02

Piglet34 · 16/03/2023 20:43

@Floralsandsmiles I don't think so necessarily, both are over the counter so should be fine but I guess speak to your doctor if you are worried :)

Snap!! Mine came at 5:30 😅 onto the next cycle for us xxx

This is good @Piglet34 ! Onto a fresh cycle and start for us! Xxx

Piglet34 · 16/03/2023 14:45

@Floralsandsmiles I think yours are about double mine as mine are 1100g, no idea how much we actually need though 🤔 I also get DH to take it as good for sperm apparently 😅 the things we try!!

So strange ladies I was absolutely convinced AF was going to show this morn as seemed like a lot of watery brown spotting when I first woke but since then not even a drop in my liner all day or when I wipe! What is going on!! Bet it comes back like clockwork at 6pm this eve 🙄🙄

Haha o dear @Piglet34 🤣 does that mean I'm taking too much? Did AF show?? Mine did at 6pm!!! Woohoo! Cd1! Xxxx

Lilothblos · 10/03/2023 15:39

@Janeykat sorry to hear your news too 😔focusing on holidays and fun things to look forward too sounds like a good strategy.

@ddaisynner have you tested again today?fingers crossed for you…we need some positive news on this thread!

@lilothblos negative on digital but tested on a frer and got a faint line and also a faint line on a cheapie at 14dpo. But that afternoon started Spotting. But it didn't touch the pad literally just as I wipe (TMI) was pink/brown and only one wipe was bright red. No clots. Usually I'm very heavy and very clotty. Didn't have any cramps or Moody either. Lasted 2.5 days But negative 15dpo/16 dpo. 17dpo today and I've been sick twice (once with coffee and the second time reading something just made me gag.) So I'm in limbo of weird period or could it be late implantation so who knows lol. I have doctors on Monday so gonna hold out and see what she says about it all.

Freya8 · 16/03/2023 17:42

@Piglet34 awhhhh gutted abso gutted! Least u know an arent in limbo now best of luck for next xxx

Piglet34 · 16/03/2023 17:32

@Freya8 I agree the BFNs are so sad 😞

AF has finally just shown for me ! So looks like I am officially CD1 all over again 😩 I guess at least I know now ..

Can't believe I bought those FRERs and then it came a few hours later , ah well no money wasted I guess and on to the next cycle.

Really hope you gals still waiting get answers soon xx

Freya8 · 16/03/2023 16:01

@Piglet34 my last frer was monday morn at 11dpo and it was neg. Since then ive been doin the easy at home ones as i figured well if i get a hint of anythin i will buy a frer again. I think poss tomorrow ill test with frer just as it will be 1 day after and officially missed period. If thats neg i wont do another and just wait on af as it really gets ya down the bfns over an over! Xxx

Piglet34 · 16/03/2023 15:55

@Freya8 ow :( I kind of want it to come but then also don't because I keep just thinking what iffff .... I have just bought some FRERs and going to do one in the morn! Never done a frer before only IC so that should give a definite answer! Are you going to test again?

Freya8 · 16/03/2023 14:50

@Piglet34 im convinced shes gonna show so much so i stuck a pad on!! Nout on it tho other than white cm. Been feelin super emosh n hot flushy. I jus want it to come instead of this wait! I think i musta had 2 surges or somethin n we didnt catch the actual one as didnt dtd enuff after in that supposed tww

@Floralsandsmiles sorry I don't know enough about it to know for sure! I think it's mainly the B vitamins that can alter your cycle though. I also just started taking DHA this cycle. Wondering if my dose is too high as doing a quick google it does say some things about it being linked to spotting. My fish oil capsule has 237mg am going to have a research !

Interesting @Piglet34 . I wonder what else, and if anything I am currently taking can alter my cycle...

These are the DHA I'm taking:

Omega 3 Fish Oil 2000mg, EPA 660mg DHA 440mg per Daily Serving. 120 Capsules (2 Months Supply). Supports Heart, Brain Function and Eye Health. 2 Capsules Per Serving amzn.eu/d/8xPORyr
