@Angelselevenx yes it’s the only new supplement I take (other than folic acid and vit d) and first cycle it increases my luteal from 12 to 14 days and this cycle I’ve ovulated on day 16 instead of my usual day 22. Definitely think it’s helped. I also feel less emotional but not sure if that’s the b6 or just one of those things.

Angelselevenx · 05/05/2023 09:52

@HavinKittens I've been looking into b6 for progesterone. How did you find it helped you?

Aquarius93 · 05/05/2023 09:06

@HavinKittens I haven’t but I’m going to order some! Before having my daughter I always had regular 30 day cycles so this is all new to me!

HavinKittens · 05/05/2023 09:01

@Aquarius93 have you tried vit b6? Did wonders for my long cycle. Sorry if I’m teaching you how to suck eggs tho!

Aquarius93 · 05/05/2023 08:50

@ddaisynner keeping my fingers crossed for you - there’s a chance it could be an indent but I guess all you can do is wait and see if it progresses! Do you have any other brands of tests you can try?

CD26 for me today and still no peak on OPKs. Feeling really deflated as my cycles keep getting longer and I’m just bored of waiting!

HavinKittens · 05/05/2023 08:34

@ddaisynner it’s hard to tell isn’t it? Hope it progresses for you. I’m just the same, can’t stop myself testing.

It’s the start of the two week wait for us, 1dpo today. Husband wasn’t up for sex the day of the LH peak (don’t get me statted…!) but we managed day of ovulation. Hope it works!

Any updates on lines? @CherryTreats23 ?

ddaisynner · 05/05/2023 07:50

@Bakingmom did Af arrive? 🤞 for you honestly I'm terrible I test daily as soon as my fingers itch to test. I must spend a fortune on tests lol

--

11 dpo today and faint line on the FRER. But I was hoping it would be darker and I know they are notorious for indents so feeling a bit deflated

I am obsessing on the inside, it’s all I can think about!! But I just think if I can make it until at least past tomorrow I’ll know AF isn’t arriving, I usually have a period like clockwork, 28 days and never late! Should I test in the morning? Haha

HavinKittens · 03/05/2023 19:17

@Bakingmom your will power is impressive!!

Bakingmom · 03/05/2023 19:12

Hey joining just looking for others to obsess over my symptoms with 😅 I’m TTC #2 ! AF was due today and still not arrived! I tested 2 days ago BFN, trying to wait until the weekend now to see if AF arrives before testing again so I don’t get disappointed at another BFN ! Fingers crossed! Sending baby dust!

HavinKittens · 03/05/2023 17:14

@Mummyme87 yes I started B6
and I’ve cut down on breast feeding at night. But I had a 35 day cycle even before I had my first baby. Haven’t had a 28 day cycle since I was in my 20s I think! Glad the 2ww is closer now.

Mummyme87 · 03/05/2023 17:09

@HavinKittens it’s not a bad time to ovulate, will shorten your cycle down also. Did you change vitamins at all?

HavinKittens · 03/05/2023 14:39

It seems like I’m ovulating a week earlier than usual?!

It’s cd15 today but I wasn’t expecting ovulation til my usual day 21.

I’m relieved now that we’ve been DTD every other day this last week.

Ou @CherryTreats23 that line looks promising!

CherryTreats23 · 03/05/2023 13:45

@ddaisynner Oh i can see it!!!! Heres to sticky beans!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

I caved too with an easy at home test which looked like a stark BFN until i could see a tiny, very faint pink shadow. Its really hard to see on the photo and it looks greyer than it was. Tummy feels sore today with some back pain, im going to pretend i never took a test and wait a few days! 😖

@RG9895 congratulations 🎉 you must have been estatic to see the words pregnant! I think that would be such an amazing feeling 💜

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 11:41

@ddaisynner fingers crossed, still mildly spotting today; no cramps to say it's AF and usually my AF cramps on day 1/2 are absolutely horrendous. So I'm keeping fingers crossed, tests yesterday where negatice. 13dpo today so hoping I see a line over the weekend and AF stays away. I've promised my OH that we'll test together Saturday morning if still no sign before we take a road trip for the day! It's all so stressful. I did read that once implantation bleeding starts it can take 48 hours for HCG to rise so that would be tomorrow for me but will try hold out another 2 days.

Ooooh, I deffs see a shadow on the test that's not inverted! Fingers crossed it starts to darken for you! 🤞🏻

ddaisynner · 03/05/2023 11:37

@RG9895 big congratulations it's so nice to see the words 😍 and your nails ahhh beautiful

@CherryTreats23 looks like we are riding together in the dpo timing and the pains. Mines back again it seemed to be gone in the morning and then appears again for a few hours. So three days now. Apparently Google says it could be twins 🙀 I'm hoping for one Sticky bean lol

@Nmmck93 it could be promising 🤞 implantation can happen between 6 to 12 dpo and that's defiantly Spotting. They say brown or pink. Fingers crossed its implantation and not AF coming

I caved and tried a test. V.v.v.v faint line at 9dpo 🥺🥺🥺 I'm hoping it's a sticky one

@Mummyme87 thank you! 💕

Good luck to you! My fingers are crossed 🤞🏻

Mummyme87 · 02/05/2023 22:43

How lovely @RG9895 congratulations!!

5dpo today. Had some discomfort in left groin today, boobs not sore yet…. Trying to ignore TWW. I’ve got some cheapies in so undoubtedly will probs test on Saturday which is 9dpo, and will get some boots early detection in also

RG9895 · 02/05/2023 20:47

@HavinKittens thank you!! Yes it for sure is! Really makes it real 😁 I hope so! 🤞🏻

Haha aww thank you!

HavinKittens · 02/05/2023 19:58

@RG9895 congratulations! Lovely to see it in writing eh? I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about re saying 1-2 weeks, as you say there could be a few reasons

ps I wish my nails looked that good!

RG9895 · 02/05/2023 19:37

I did a digital today and it actually said pregnant!!!! I am worried it only says 1-2 weeks as I'm over a week late but they are irregular and I had no idea when I ovulated so we will see 🤞🏻

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 11:07

So I’m 12DPO today; tests up until yesterday where negative, I haven’t tested today becasue I’ve just basically told myself im out this month; just wiped and have some pinkish blood on my tissue.

AF isn’t due until Friday; could this be implantation bleeding this late after ovulation? 🙈

I have attached a picture in hope someone could help me. I feel like it could just be AF showing up as it’s not mucas like at all.

Thank you for your replies.
As I knew it was very much just AF but sometimes it helps face reality but writing on here so thanks for the replies.
Onto another month, think I’m going to have a chat with my partner and try that SMEP for this month.
I just want to feel like we’ve put the most effort in but tbh we only DTD once this cycle as it was my first cycle since MMC so I’m not
too surprised.

@ddaisynner that sounds like good news! Let us know how your tests go! Good Luck!
