6DPO throwing up all morning x5 so far and diarrhoea could possibly be a virus with having both, feeling rotten today. No other symptoms 🫠☹️✨

This is me this month barely BD mainly due to us both working and me falling asleep early 🫠😄
Hopefully enough (says the girl not trying this month but trying) 😂

I will look into Mira, I just pay the month Flo app at the minute ✨

Here’s to no spermicide cycles 😆 @ElGraham

last month my DH and I had sex every day in the two weeks up to ovulation day, from my research think that might have been too excessive. We are going to try to reduce to every other day this month.

Mira is great- highly recommend it. Cost is a massive downside though.

omg I have been using spermicide lube for 5 months now so I have done exactly the same thing to try and feel better about myself “must be the lube”!

glad I’m not going through this alone! Xxx

That sounds so good!
the cheapie sticks are ridiculously cheap, they seam reliable enough, only just started using them really, just to guide me to fertile week if anything, not 100% rely on them tbh.
good luck with the new toy! ☺️
Yea I use the conceive plus! 1st time last month, haven’t used it this month tbh but yes great results!
I made a massive mistake and was using spermicide lubricants for the last 6/9mths which I will put down to the no luck just to feel better about myself 😃

✨✨✨

Here is a picture of my chart and numbers from CD 14-24 last month. You can see my PDG jump it then stayed really high which makes me think even more that I must have had a chemical last month.

This is Mira - https://www.miracare.com/

I was terrible with reading the sticks and really wanted to understand my numbers clearly so I bought this. It is so so so expensive, I found a deal for £170 with the monitor + 20 wands which made it a bit more bearable. I have found it amazing to see my hormone levels actually jump day to day rather than relying on interpreting the sticks.

We cant DTD unless we use lube so I thought I should find something: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002V0ZJ4Y?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Loads of reviews saying they were trying for ages until they started using this lube and got pregnant the first time so I thought I would give it a go to see if it helps us.

What is Mira?
my son was conceived March and was due 19th Dec and arrived NYE!!!

I am also not trying as hard this month to catch the window but if it happens will be happy regardless!

another December baby 😂 it’s expensive as it is!

which lube did you get? Xx

✨

I'm CD 9 today - I have quite a long cycle and don't usually ovulate until CD18 or 19 so a bit of a way to go for me as well.

Started testing with Mira yesterday and my levels are:
LH: 2.2
Oestrogen: 167
Progesterone: 4.3

All pretty much average for this point in the cycle so we will see how things progress this week.

If it doesn't happen this month perhaps might consider not trying next month due to Xmas and not wanting a baby around then.

We are using fertility friendly lube this month for the first time too.

Fertility is such a whirlwind!
all this TTC makes me want to specialise in women’s health more 😌
What is the next step for you? ✨

Yes hopefully they check your AMH and sperm too. I am not sure what the NHS do, we went privately because I have one DC so there was very little the NHS would help us with. I got some basic blood tests and a scan but that was it.

My AMH is 4.6 and I am almost 40. I think ideally it would be higher than this!

That all sounds positive!! 🙌🏽
Maybe your head and body needed some of that reassurance and it could take the edge off things? Without you thinking ✨
GP have also asked for my OH semen sampled too. Not done one yet though.
Glad they checked your AMH levels though, what level should they be at and what was yours? I guess they will check mine then?
will they do the scan then at my appt?
don’t know what to expect xxx

I am CD10 today too! I ovulate late around 16/17 so I have a little way to go before my peak.

I also had a diagnostic hysteroscopy yesterday to check for adhesions (it was all clear!) so I gave to wait a couple of days before BD anyway.

We had a full fertility MOT recently. My AMH is a little low (but pretty normal for my age) and my husband's sperm test was really good, which was encouraging but also like - why hasn't it happened then!

I have ramped up all my supplements and started fertility acupuncture this week... I think perhaps our issues is my egg quality.

@jennacx @RooneyRu
CD 10 today
OV stick not as dark today so yes! Your right must have been my peak yesterday 🙌🏽
Below is this morning.

As I said I wasn’t going to be as hard on myself this month, we have only BD Tuesday not leading up to peak day.

No lubricants either.

GP has referred me to gynae just for checks which I asked so that is in April.

& repeating my progesterone bloods this month as levels were slightly low, needs to be above 25 she said, mine were 20.

Are any of you guys DPOing yet? Xxx

send lots of love and baby dust to us all this month ✨✨✨

This looks good!! Definitely a peak :)

Hi Girls I’m backkkkk! ☺️☺️☺️
Got my 1st dark + OPK
ehat do you guys think… this was this morning, I’ve done one just now but didn’t take a photo and have left the house and even darker.

so sorry to hear both of you had CP ☹️
Here’s to a new cycle together ✨🥰

Yes true @jennacx

Would love you guys to check in next cycle!

❤️

I can't believe we all had chemicals 😔

AF came this morning - a relief now, so it was definitely chemical. Will start trying again this month so will check back in with this thread in a few weeks - wishing everyone all the ✨✨✨

No AF for me still today, did a test and BFN. now just wishing AF would come so I can try again this month!

Sorry to hear your AF came, but I know what you mean about relief.

❤️❤️❤️

I made a post earlier this week:

How late was your period before you got BFP??

some interesting reads!

might be useful?
