@KT199
Oh I don't mind at all! I'm 31. Although for some reason I still tell everyone I'm 30 😂
It's always good to know I'm not the only one prone to early testing!

Hi ladies, hope it's ok to join you all!
Currently TTC our first & it's our first proper cycle since I came off the pill a few months back.
Think I'm around 8/9dpo today. BFN on a test today, apparently I have no self control when it comes to testing 😂
I've had a migraine on 6/7dpo which has progressed into a constant headache. Oh and my boobs are killing me, but this is the norm for me post O.
I say I'm not going to test tomorrow but I know that I'm kidding myself!

Welllllcomee to the dino club!

How old are you? (If you don’t mind asking!)

Good luck, and no shame in the peeing on a stick early, we’re all guilty of that at one point in time for sure!

@Toppstileslover im only on cycle 2, but I will 100% be presenting earlier than 6 months. Any chance you have a link for the coq10? I’m taking Proceive max at the moment and my diet is terrible! BMI and weight etc is fine, but I could definitely clean up my diet.

I’m exactly the same, I just love to eat rubbish but my BMI is fine and I exercise regularly! I just need to stop snacking and stopping at McDonald’s drive thru 🤣

Sorry i refuse to leave the group until we start a dino 🦕 mum thread 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

HAHA the dino mum club is gonna be a hit! We will all get there and SOON to join you! 🤞🦖🦕🪨

KT199 · 07/11/2024 20:30

Interested in which COQ10 too, I bought the wrong one the other month so doubt it’s done anything for me it’s not ubiquinol it’s uniquinone.. I didn’t know there was a difference when I bought it 🤣

I'm testing on Sunday I think guys ! Fingers crossed ! I think I'll be about 9/10 dpo ? Or if I can hold off I'll wait until Monday 😅
I have some femometer tests at home but I don't like them so might order an actual first response.

The more you hold the better 🤞🏻 maybe 11/12dpo ? Ahhhh the stress of testing!
Also im having headaches exactly the same day in this cycle as last one ? Could it be it? (Says the girls who didn't even ovulate 😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

Lila34830 · 07/11/2024 18:44

Guys I'm losing track of everybody's dpo and the bfps we've had so far 🤣 the club is getting big !
So excited for everybody to hopefully get their bfp 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@slothbat the Dino mum club would be epic !
I'm only 6/7 dpo ?? So I doubt this has nothing to do with pregnancy, but I've been absolutely exhausted ! I have no discharge or no implantation bleeding or cm so idk 😭

That's how I was feeling though at 6/7DPO then by 9DPO started having a few waves of nausea then it all stopped 😂😂😂

Fingers crossed!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Toppstileslover · 07/11/2024 18:37

😂😂😂😂 Dino mum is officially over 35 (but that was cosmopolitan magazine which you guys won’t even remember 😉) I was living my best life at 27! But that’s a London thing, all my friends at home had kids that are nearly in secondary! . I definitely could not have cared for a child. I am still not sure I’m ready but I barely drink and hate leaving the house so I can do it.

@Lila34830 I do and can ask him any questions for anyone! I don’t have a dad so I lucked out with him. Weirdly my brother is also a gyno and my MIL is a midwife so I’m well covered 😂 downside he is very medical so he will tell you straight up if you’re fat (which he did and I was only 11.7 stone! I’m 5’6) - weight is a big factor

though @Clara202 he was the one who told us to (lie and) go for tests early on. The NHS can be quite strict with IVF, it’s done by local authority. Around me the cut off is the year of my 40th birthday. He’s also told me to freeze any eggs straight after (hope he’s paying!)

thing with diet is you have to change it and be soooo consistent for soooooo long. I really struggle 🙈 45 year old boss was a health freak about this and did defy the 1% medical expectations to use her own eggs (but also had to go to Spain to do it because she was too old for London clinics!) so maybe there is a moral

i have been taking Coq10 since August and bought xxxxl strong ones in America

got twinges now - hopefully not AF 😞😞

Heartypandaa · 07/11/2024 18:37

@Lila34830 sounds promising for you 🤞🪨

@pastelpink0 I’m one of the younger dinos too at 30!

@Gemmaemilyx EEEEK!! Congrats 🙌

@Nay34 i could absolutely improve my diet, I try to be balanced but also like a takeaway as a treat on a weekend! I think nutrition defo helps with the ttc journey but I don’t want to take away all my life pleasures🤣

Thank you!! I’ve been feeling undeniably sick and metallic taste in my mouth so I had a good feeling! I was awfully nauseous with my other 2 kids but hopefully this won’t be as bad! Xxx

@pastelpink0 I thought of myself as a 🦕 at 27, it's funny how your perspective changes! In 10 years time we'll look back at how young we are right now. Newbie to the group but I'd say self-identified dinos are welcome too!

Haven't changed anything diet-wise, but did start on folic acid about 2 months ago and just switched to proceive. Have also been trying to keep up the fitness a bit more than usual and going to the gym.

🦖mum club sounds great, let's hope we all get there even if it takes a while!
