TTC October 2023

@Mi3mi I've always gymmed throughout my TWW. I did conceive on my second cycle but that was a chemical pregnancy and I don't think the gym had anything to do with it. As long as you aren't exhausting yourself or anything to vigorous I think you're fine going by google

9 dpo negative test - feeling deflated but still slightly hopefully. I can feel the period symptoms coming on though. Does everyone continue exercise during the 2ww? I know they say nothing vigorous but I’m not sure a regular gym counts. Any idea if it can affect implantation/conception?

@HRHXO I'm trying the 1-2 Brazil nuts a day in luteal phase. Figured it can't hurt.
I did the socks last month - no success, I like being barefooted so dropped it this month.

@HRHXO
I've been prescribed a new thing called Estradiol valeratel pills this month. I take that on top of my folic acid, other supplement and metformin.

Does anyone else take Estradiol valeratel? I read online that it's also used in birth control which confuses me.

@greentree16 what does your premom app say? I've also never had one that dark and also have a DS.

@TTCnewbies @DoloresOnTheDottedLine @123456789ss I have a feeling I will be joining you all. AF due tomorrow and not even a hint of a shadow on what are supposed to be super sensitive hcg tests

AF arrived today 😢 see you next month (or hopefully not and you all get your BFPs 🤞 )

@HRHXO I've given in and got the Proceive Max sachets after a year on the Proceive standard tablets. This is also my second month of triple strength CoQ10.

I read the thing about warm feet too! Can't hurt to try.

@HRHXO Ive got the zita west suppplements. It's the first month trying those I've heard really good things about them. Also first month using opk but it's stressing me out too much as don't seem to have hit a peak yet 🤦🏼‍♀️

Same here @TTCnewbies - I’m sure AF is going to show up overnight for me, all the signs are there. We may be cycle buddies again this month!

Is anyone trying anything different this cycle? I've started taking conceive plus ovulation support supplements for egg quality and a bit of a weird one but I read that keeping your feet warm equals a warm womb and more likely to implant 😅 might be crazy but ill try anything!

@greentree16 I think that's a positive ovulation test! None of mien have ever been that dark and I have a DS lol. Time to DTD I think 😉 good luck

I'm in full blown crampy mode now, my period hasn't fully started yet but it's the start of it with a bit of spotting. So I'm going to probably not have much to say for a couple of weeks but I'll keep an eye on the thread and comment again when closer to next ovulation. Good luck all 😊

@ReginaPhalange12
Thank you, hope I have better news to share in 2 days.

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine
Thank you!!! Eggs all the way!🥚🥚

@hicketypickety
Thank you, so kind of you! 💗

Hi all!

Struggling badly with my pcos at the moment on cycle day about 90.... Does this look like a positive ovulation test? I've never had one before quite like this so hoping the maca root I've been taking is doing something!

Sending lots of baby dust to everyone x

@ceruleansky I'm sorry that sounds so tough. Thinking of you and wishing you good luck for 2 days time

@ceruleansky thats’s a total bummer. There’s still time though and I will cross everything and think eggy thoughts for you.

@ceruleansky I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope you get some better news in a couple of days.

Had a scan today cd12 and my follicle hasn't grown yet. Have a follow up scan on cd14. Hope it grows by then otherwise I'm not going to ovulate. 🫠
Damn you, PCOS.😭

@wanderlustre me too. So depressing. This month I've managed to stay away from OPKs and only updating Flo when we DTD. Tbh I have sort of given up hope with the whole thing but that might be because I'm tired and a bit hungover from a wedding we went to this weekend

My next urine test following the molar surgery is due on 20 Oct and Flo reckons AF is due on 22 so I will maybe test on the 20th at the same time as they want to know if there's a chance you could be pregnant so they can do extra checks before they put you on the chemo list.

I hate when you log your period on Flo and its takes away your "If you're pregnant: Day X" box and rejigs your potential due date box, sending the date even further into the future 😔

On these threads I don't think there is such a thing as TMI.

I don't have much discharge at all, I'm not really sure what that means.

I also check due dates/ conception dates etc!

@wanderlustre that’s really tough. I definitely have had a few ‘this is a sign from the universe moments’ and the crash is always worse isn’t it.. especially when a part of you believes in it too.

I’ve actually had to hide posts from my timeline over certain friends who are pregnant now. I’m happy for them but also it really hurts. My best friend is due to announce her 3rd in the next week or so and it’s mentally difficult asking about scans, midwife appointments etc.

So my period has arrived....onto another month 😫

@bumptobean I constantly do that 😂 back when I first started TTC 12 weeks would've been my birthday so thought that would be a great time to announce then it was DH birthday and now around Christmas. I get far too ahead of myself and need to take it 1 day at a time 🤦🏽‍♀️
