Cd1 of ttc first cycle after loss... anyone want to join me? 🙂

CD13 here too but OPKs are loooooooow so not sure what’s going on - usually it’s up by now. Annoying as DH is away several nights next week so could do with a nice prompt ovulation please!

@Ladyinpink1 it finally stopped yesterday so hoping that's it. Cycle day 12 but basically blank OPKs but realistically not expecting anything until next week. Honestly this is the world's slowest cycle, feels like it's lasting for ever 😞

@Ladyinpink1 I'm cycle day 11 too but my period is unfortunately still on the go after a day's break. It's very light and looks like darker/ older blood so hoping it doesn't stay long but it's making me worry it'll throw off my cycle 😞 I don't normally ovulate until CD15 so hoping that's enough time for my body to sort itself out

Everyone - today (at, I think, 5dpo) I had lots of cm - some creamy, and some yellow but stretchy (sort of like snot like ewcm!) has anyone has yellow stretchy cm before - never had it!

@Ladyinpink1 that’s good to know about the SMEP! I got another flashing smiley face today, based off this I’m guessing peak will be Saturday for me which would be good timing so fingers crossed 🤞 😂 Any sign of peak for you yet?

@CluelessInLondon @Vic231 thanks for the heads up about the first response. I used them for my last pregnancy and got a positive before my missed period! So I’ll order some more now they’re back 😊 I do have a pack of boots one in my cupboard too as they’re quite a good dupe for them!

@SunSparkle that sounds mainly positive, I’ve heard of people taking specific vitamins to try help with AMH levels so might be worth researching those to add into your supplements 🫶 Don’t stress too much about the 8 pounds you could probably lose it quite quickly with a calorie deficit 😊

Sending lots of positive vibes to those approaching ovulation, hope you have lots of energy ready for SMEP 💪🏼, and to those already in the tww, I feel really positive that we’ll see some more BFP’s in the next couple of weeks 🤞🏼

I used the boots early tests and can also recommend these.

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well @Aaliyahrae, I’m also struggling with the nausea so you’re not alone. I’m having a private scan on Sunday when I will be 7+3 if going off lmp or 7 wks if going off actual conception date. Feeling very nervous x

So... I had my fertility appointment today. Some good news, some bad news.

My AMH levels are lower end of normal for my age so my egg reserve is a bit low.

My womb is fine - no signs of anything going wrong there or on my ovaries.

Partners sperm is fine.

But, while she would be happy to prescribe letrozole, but only if I lose 8 pounds. and she wants to see my progesterone tests that the GP has ordered as well.

So tips on losing 8 pounds really quickly please!!

Also it will be privately funded so I need to see what a guided cycle of letrozole would be and if we can afford it. She did say that some people get it on the NHS but the wait time would be considerable and it's dependent on each PCT.

so...good to know that no PCOS or anything like that, but I'm annoyed my weight is holding us back.

@Ladyinpink1 @CluelessInLondon these are the ones I got a few weeks ago - albeit they were £9.99 back then! First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 2 Count (Pack of 1) amzn.eu/d/dhDGRHv

@Ladyinpink1 I ordered some in my last pregnancy but they must have been the end of a batch as they had a really short expiry date on them so I couldn't use them all before they expired! So annoying as you obviously can't look at the date when you're buying online.

The Boots early tests seem to be quite popular at the moment as an alternative to FRERs. I haven't bought any yet as I know if I have tests in the house I'll use them when I said I wouldn't, so I'm not buying anything until the beginning of next week!

@Ladyinpink1 I haven't actually looked for them myself, just saw a post on another TTC thread about them - will let you know if I spot them though!

@Aaliyahrae Hope you are starting to feel better today. I'm 9DPO today, currently managing to steadfastly resist any temptation to test! AF due on Monday so no testing before then for me...

I saw on another thread that First Response tests are back in stock on Amazon so now might be the time to stock up if anybody needs any!

Yeah I know the feeling about cycle being everywhere. I finally got the negative PT so been trying to DTD and my OPK readings are a bit all over the place so a bit hard for me to pin point when ovulation will be.

i prefer to use Easy@home strips. I find the readings pretty on point for me. The Clear blue kits I found pretty unreliable. I purchased 2 boxes and didn’t get a signal positive, not sure if it was me or maybe I got a damaged kit.

@Aaliyahrae as someone who’s had Hyperemesis with both my pregnancies, I’m here if you want to ask questions about medication.

so, I’m CD25, 9DPO. My cycles are anywhere between 23-25 days. Had a negative test yesterday and today and have been cramping so I do think my period might be coming just perhaps my cycle might be lengthening by a day. With short cycles, it took me being about a week late last time to get a positive result because I think it needs that many days past ovulation to turn positive

what pregnancy test strips does everyone use?

Thanks @CluelessInLondon and @graceinc22. Not with my DD or my miscarriage but with my DS I was so poorly but it was a different type of sick. Really trying hard to be grateful because this was so wanted after my miscarriage but I feel so unwell.

How are you both feeling? Where are you in your cycles?xx

@Aaliyahrae so sorry to hear about how sick you are. Have you had this before? Sounds awful. Hopefully the meds will work x

@Aaliyahrae Oh no, sorry to hear you are feeling so rough - keeping fingers crossed for you that it improves with the medication.

Also thinking positive thoughts for lots of BFPs in the next few weeks!

Good luck to you all trying new methods this month! I keep checking to see how you all are. Fingers crossed for you all. I’ll check back in in a couple of weeks to see how you’re all getting on.

I’m really poorly at the moment. The morning sickness is absolutely awful I can’t even drink water and all foods make the nausea worse. Been given some pills by the GP before I need to be sent to hospital. Taken two and they’re still not working but fingers crossed they start to work soon.

Loving the positivity today, lots of BFPs incoming this month 🤞🏼.

2dpo today, had a rise on bbt yesterday so confident ovulation was Monday. Currently on antibiotics and the gp tells me they shouldn’t affect ttc but I still worry there’s a lot of stress on my body at the moment.
