Anyone experienced the same thing https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/conception/5248274-supplements-messing-up-cycle

I haven’t had this issue but read somewhere that Proceive can cause worse PMS and breast tenderness. I’ve been taking it for 4-5 months now and had both of these issues, so I’m going to just take folic acid, coQ10, omega 3 and vitamin D from now on.
Hoping I will see a positive difference but I know it can take a few months 🤞

I think I will ovulate on Saturday - finally!! Feels like ages.

@SarahB88 Thank You. I will

Hi Guys if my periods is 9 days away how many days past ovulation

Everyone ovulates at different times so it’s really hard to say. Would depend on the length of your cycle too. They used to say that majority of women ovulate on CD14 but it’s now been proven that only 50% of women ovulate then and even at that ovulation day can change each cycle. If you want to pin point your ovulation date you’ll need to start using OPKs and/or temping.

Depends how long your luteal phase is

carolinep3 · 09/01/2025 11:27

I feel like my body is teasing me, this is so hard!
I spot so I know I'm out, but then stop for a day and hope creeps back in even though you try so hard not to let it! Then spotting starts again and you feel like crap all over again 😭

9dpo today and took these - can I have opinions please? I turned the brightness down because the lines don’t photograph very well…

I can see a line on both ❤️ congratulations 🎉 ✨

BerrieSweet · 09/01/2025 09:01

I thought AF was due today but I didn't realise the app moved the prediction when I didn't log AF. 1 day late now, 13 DPO, negative test this morning. No symptoms related to pregnancy or AF😂

Room4onemore · 09/01/2025 08:55

I’m going to order some Q10 and raspberry leaf tea today and some cb ovulation tests for next month

Those of you who tested positive before me, have any of you done a dating one to see how many weeks you are?
I just did one today to be honest expecting it would now be 3-4 but still 1-2. Strip test is stronger than yesterday so that's at least a good sign. Although checking my tracker we only first DtD two weeks ago today so I guess I might see 3-4 by Sunday?
Anyone else just get so consumed by this?

Wisher88 · 09/01/2025 06:59

A couple of things I've heard that can help to conceive is finding a way to help the sperm pool and stay near the cervix. One method is a pillow under your hips and another is inserting a rubber cap to keep them up there.
The first time we were TTC I'd do the pillow method every time, lay like that for about an hour each time. Not sure if it helped? Maybe it increases the chances?
This time I was so sure we were late trying that I just got up fairly quickly, no pillows and just got on with my day 😂 so god knows. I think anything you can do to help it along I'm sure at least slightly improves your chances!

Alex2022 · 08/01/2025 21:03

I'm wondering the same - not sure how to assess as such! V new to this, TTC #1. Any tips would be helpful! :)

SarahB88 · 08/01/2025 20:09

@ThisHangryTiger I really struggle to see people’s faint lines too 🙈 so you’re not the only one!

ThisHangryTiger · 08/01/2025 19:58

I'm on CD25 and 6DPO. First time ever doing OPK's and I got a distinctive peak (well at least it looks like it!). I'm sure before the pill I was 28 days but my first cycle off I hit 31. No idea when to test, AF should be due Sunday based on 28. I've looked at all your tests and sometimes for the life of me I can't see anything - I must be blind as a bat or totally missing it! Wondering if I should hold out to sat as then I'm not so much in a rush for work. i have the 6 day early tests from clear blue but also the easy-home ones when I bought the OPK's. Currently been feeling very bloated but not sure if that's coming off the pill, and also my boobs sometimes feel a bit itchy - like there's a hair there so who knows!

Hi Ladies, wow don’t know how you keep up with all the comments it’s nice to see so much support! So I have a question and sorry tmi but how do you actually check your cervix because I can’t get to mine without doing the twister lol is that a good sign? Xx

SarahB88 · 08/01/2025 18:42

@carolinep3 wow definitely worth a go! They think I had my bleed because of having such a healthy uterus at birth time so there has to be something to it. I had an unplanned section, you aren’t meant to drink it if you’re having a section for exactly the reason I had.

carolinep3 · 08/01/2025 18:29

SarahB88 · 08/01/2025 18:23

I thought raspberry leaf tea was meant to induce labour! I’ve got loads of teabags left from when I was getting ready for my daughter arriving and trying to hurry her along so will give it a go if I need it next cycle.

It has lots of benefits I believe. Babycentre has an interesting article on it. Apparently it increases blood flow to the uterus to helps the strength and lining. Can be helpful in Labour too apparently. Who knows, from all my research it can't hurt!
