@Daniki it's really pissing me off now 😂. I'm taking one practically every time I pee 😅. Did one not long ago and it's still low.

@whatdoyouthink123456 I thought I did a few days ago but my tests were super faint and usually I get an obvious peak, so think it was all in my head.

I too am trying to lose weight to better my chances. Consultant said it would help but it's not his main concern as I'm not out of the window bmi wise for medication. I weigh less now than when I did when conceiving my daughter, but that was 4 years ago so again probably age not helping among other things. Just another thing to contend with 😂

@whatdoyouthink123456 i cant remember exactly but they said it had to be in the normal range as the risk is to high or something. But ive lost a lot of weight so hoping it wont take me too much longer to hit it but ive never been that small so i am worried i wont get there

whatdoyouthink123456 · 06/03/2025 16:12

@Daniki

Congratulations! That soo exciting. Iv got everything crossed for you x

whatdoyouthink123456 · 06/03/2025 16:12

@RRAEE

Do you know what BMI they asked you to aim for?

Have you got much to lose?

I did lose 3 stone before I got pregnant with my son naturally but I'm about that same weight now. I'm guessing being older and having a tube removed isn't helping the situation!

It's soo draining isn't it!

whatdoyouthink123456 · 06/03/2025 16:08

@Marie1990x

Iv ordered some from Amazon. I think my supplements have 70g of coq10 in but all the other doses are much higher.

April will come around quickly 🤞🏻

I hate months like that. Have you got any other symptoms? EWCM etc?

Daniki · 06/03/2025 14:47

@Marie1990x really hoping it is! 🤞🏻 oh god how frustrating are you testing a few times a day? Altho we're all pros at this stage now we know all the tricks 🤣

RRAEE · 06/03/2025 11:43

@whatdoyouthink123456 yeah bmi based and then he gave a kg amount

And same been over 2 years and no luck :(

@whatdoyouthink123456 I just have the ones from boots, max strength I think they are so take 2 of those a day.

My hycosy is in April, seemed ages away but these weeks are flying by!

@Daniki amazing news! Hopefully this will be your miracle baby 😊.

My OPK's still don't seem to be getting any stronger. Don't know wtf is going on this cycle but will keep dtd and trying to catch it. Just frustrating 😫

Daniki · 06/03/2025 09:29

@Marie1990x so out of scan, all ok and strong heartbeat. Still being cautious and guarding myself of course but can breathe easy for now 🤣🥰

whatdoyouthink123456 · 06/03/2025 08:22

@RRAEE after soo long of trying, it feels like it will never happen at this point 😒

Is the weight goal they gave you BMI based? I'm holding off going to the doctors because I know I'm overweight. Iv lost over 2 stone now, but probably need to loose another stone! I don't know if it's worth trying to speak with someone now or if I should just focus on my weight and then go

whatdoyouthink123456 · 06/03/2025 08:20

@Marie1990x

Proceive has vitamin D, folic acid, iron etc.

What coq 10 do you take?

I never know what's a waste of money

When is your Hycosy?

Marie1990x · 05/03/2025 18:12

@Daniki omg that next scan has come around quick!!!! The weeks are flying by, it'll be your 12w scan before we know it!

I've just done one now and it's quite a bit darker but still definitely negative. It's similar to when I'd expect to get a high/peak the following day so fingers crossed it comes tomorrow.

@whatdoyouthink123456 my consultant had said folic acid and vitamin D 100%, then I found out I'm deficient in iron and b12 so was recommended to take them, then coq-10 was highly recommended from a lot of people.

@RRAEE oh perfect, sounds like you're on the right track to them being able to help out then 🤞🏻

RRAEE · 05/03/2025 17:59

@whatdoyouthink123456 that sucks, sorry ti hear.

@Marie1990x nope they just told me to hit the goal weight they set before they will do anything but ive been loosing weight anyway so hopefully not too far away till i get help.

whatdoyouthink123456 · 05/03/2025 17:26

@Marie1990x iv seen the first signs of spotting and iv got my normal symptoms so im 100% out.

How did you decide what supplements to take? Research? Or has a specialist recommended them?

Daniki · 05/03/2025 16:43

@Marie1990x it's the fear of the unknown too, we like to some control! Any sign of peak coming?! Aw I know delighted, there is a big change in him since getting them 🥹 have another scan in the morning, a bit anxious and a bit excited 🙈

Marie1990x · 05/03/2025 14:37

@whatdoyouthink123456 oh no! But you never know until AF arrives!

I take B12, iron, vit D, coq-10 and folic acid. But clearly it's not working for me 😂😅

Hi everyone,

How are you all getting on?

My period has just started showing signs today 😒 I have been very distracted by wedding plans but I was still secretly hoping that il get pregnant.

What combination of supplements do you take? It feels like a minefield!
I take zeta west- inositol & folate and proceive max. Who knows if it's any good or not 🤷🏻‍♀️
