@Aandk64 hello! I also got my solid smileys and due to ovulate today so we will be in the TWW together! 🥰 I’m CD17 x

Baby dust to you 🤞 The TWW is so long isn't it haha
I got a solid circle this morning at CD14. Let the count down to testing begin 🤞👣 I think I will start testing at 9DPO x

Evening All, (Hi Again Nicole, I remember you from last month in the Sept babies group - sending baby dust to you for this cycle x)
Yesterday and today I got my solid smileys, so Ovulation day tomorrow (I'm CD13 today) now for the long painful TWW 😊
Sending baby dust to you all this cycle x

If I believe I have the symptoms for an under active thyroid would that affect conceiving?

@Noelle020 I have heard the opposite, that Vitamin D is one of the most important things to take! As Vit D deficiency can reduce fertility and I live in the UK so definitely need it 😂

Kay1578 · 09/01/2025 18:49

@Em3009 I'm doing good thank you. Been keeping busy this week. Kids schools been closed pretty much all week due to snow and ice. Currently CD6 so will start opks tomorrow. Got my first positive on CD12 last cycle. Hope your doing ok x

Em3009 · 09/01/2025 14:47

@Noelle020 hey!

im just taking folic acid and vitamin D - I did look into some branded pregnancy TTC vitamins a few weeks ago but I’ve also read they can change your cycle etc so decided against it x

Noelle020 · 09/01/2025 14:35

So sorry to hear that! 😓I've heard Maca root is supposed to be amazing for fertility! I've read so many conflicting things on NHS website and forums about not taking things like vitamin d etc! So confusing !!
Have you ever used a TTC vitamin for yourself?

Noelle020 · 09/01/2025 14:26

Hi all I’m very new to this!🥰
I was hoping I could get some advice on vitamins etc to help conceive? I have used seven seas trying for a baby in the past but had no luck.
1 previous miscarriage last year, hoping to conceive soon just wanted some advice and tips if you girls have any🥰

Hiya! I'm currently taking Folic Acid, Vitamin D, Red Maca Root, and Omega 3. And my partner is currently taking Wellman conception & Omega 3. We actually conceived first cycle not sure if it helped or not with that- but I unfortunately had an early miscarriage at 4 weeks & 2 days 😔

Good morning! I know this is a TTC thread, but I stayed cause I wanted to follow the journey of us who started TTC together and you said you wanted to follow my journey's updates as long as you're here.. so I'll update from yesterday 😊 that I had my first scan :) Everything went good, measuring 8w3d, two days ahead of what I had calculated and 1 week ahead of lmp (but that I knew cause I knew I ovulated early). Really happy that everything is in place and developing as it should ♥️🙏🏼

Congratulations to you ❤️

@Katielouise111 so hard to not symptom spot isn’t it! I managed to convince myself last month with all my ‘symptoms’! CD14 today for me, still negative on the OPK’s but I got my flashing smiley on clearblue just now so should be happening soon!

how long will you hold out to test? X

It really is!! I hope you have a positive outcome this cycle.
Last cycle I had a chemical so really trying not to overthink it this time round.
I'll probably try and hold out until atleast 10dpo, af is due in 6 days

How's everyone getting on today? Currently 5dpo fighting ever urge not to symptom spot

Em3009 · 07/01/2025 16:01

@KittyFantastica keeping everything crossed for you 🤞 it’s still very early so faint lines are to be expected but I can totally understand your fear 😢🩷

OP posts:
KittyFantastica · 07/01/2025 13:36

Thank you @Em3009 @nicolenorris

This is my fourth pregnancy and no living children yet, so it's been a morning of intense feelings. Lines are very faint, so will have to see where it goes. Lots of fear here.
