@NatalieSFthis is 💔 I'm truly so sorry this has happened to you. And sending you lots of baby dust x

FlyHighSky72 · 16/06/2025 09:26

So I’m due my smear - when’s the best time to book it for when ttc?

Hi all! Lots to catch up on, hope everyone ok!

Random but does anyone else have really light periods? Mine are about 2 light days and have been for a while. This month it was about 1.5 days. My last scan my lining was 8.4mm the day before ovulation so not really thin as I was expecting, but seems odd not having much blood?!

Just jumping on this as i've had them really light since coming off the pill two years ago, we've been ttc for just over a year so i've mentioned it to my dr in the hope that we can have it investigated.
I've tried ALL the supplements to try and increase period length/flow but nothing seems to be working!

@peanutForeversorry yes the cough medicine is before ov it’s just the way I’ve written it!

@megan345i actually really liked the taste of it.. got some for this month and gna take now anyway just incase and baby aspirin from boots for like 90p (if youre in the uk) But check with dr as its not suitable for everyone

i didn’t like the taste so only took 45 mins before bd and still noticed a considerable difference xx

Makes sense @megan345!

I did cough medicine and baby aspirin after ovulation this month and nothing!! Not sure whether to try them both again this month or not - any views anyone?

will actually use my Proov ovulation confirmation kit this month now I know I need to test on day 5 of my cycle!!!

i also did cough syrup and nothing here, (plus it tastes vile) not heard of baby asprin? where do you get that from?xxx

@megan345AF arrived here too - overnight, great! I was on Proceive max from Jan-middle of this month and recently switched to ovum as it’s meant to be more ‘natural’

rachael2308 · 16/06/2025 07:49

BNF this morning and some light brown spotting. I’m only 9dpo but feel like I’m out for this month

peanutForever · 16/06/2025 07:47

@Muddysocks1i guess you can mention it to the gp if its a concern to you? ive always heard it should be 3 days+ but i know some people dont count spotting as their AF and if they did it would be longer

@NatalieSFreally sorry to hear about your loss, big hugs and baby dust

so i have a massive box of LH strips..should i use them?

@megan345im on naitre/proceive and DH is just on proceive but for men, i find when its 3for2 at H&B its not so bad. Ive spent a small fortune on supplements for this hypothetical baby already lol

It’s hard keeping up isn’t it?! I’ve been waiting for ovulation so just been lurking! My periods have always been really light - max 3 days and never heavy. Part of me started to wonder if that’s been part of my issue with so many chemicals but I’ve had 1 successful pregnancy and an MMC that properly implanted so I don’t think the heaviness of your periods necessarily means your lining is thin. I believe my issue is hyper fertility but would want to explore my lining thickness once my referrals for the recurrent MC clinic comes through. How did you find out about your lining thickness?

from what I read, a light period is only something to worry about if it’s not your normal. If they’ve always been like that then should be fine, I think if they’ve always been heavy then suddenly get a lot lighter then that’s something to look out for

Show quote history

Yes that’s true, I’ve read lots of people say they have light periods and no issue conceiving. I guess because mine have got lighter over the years it’s a change for me?

I had a day 14 scan at Window to the Womb, they’re fairly affordable ☺️

Hey 👋🏼

Just popping in. We are in our first month of TTC after a 34 week loss in February. Currently on cycle day 17 and 2dpo. Expecting this journey to be an emotional rollercoaster 🙈

That’s awful @NatalieSF, so sorry :(

bigbird1234 · 16/06/2025 07:07

@megan345i took proceive for the first time last month and it looks like it’s worked. I also did seed cycling (when I rememebered).

My issue (I think) was short luteal phase so my plan this month would have been to introduce vitex/agnus castus.

the final thing I did differently - and apologies for TMI - was make sure I orgasmed every day in Luteal phase. My reasoning was that it would help blood flow to that neck of the woods and relax me 😂

Mummysparrow · 16/06/2025 06:51

@megan345 I really liked ovum before when I was taking them. I am just taking supplements separately now

Welcome @NatalieSF. So sorry to hear about your loss 😢. Good luck!

Esssa · 15/06/2025 22:23

Cd2 here, boo hiss! I didn't test HCG this month but I temp so I knew it was coming. A drop the day before and then a drop to below cover line yesterday. AF showed up in the afternoon. 5 weeks till I see the nurse led RMC at my local hospital. Feeling meh which is an improvement on the angry I felt yesterday.

@EmPeEfmine are like that - second month here - first month had a quick peak on day 17 of 1.25 on premom. This month I missed my peak - but my baseline is def low

EmPeEf · 15/06/2025 21:05

So, second month TTC, currently CD17 but after a chemical. So no idea if it will be a normal cycle.

Been tracking for 4 cycles. Anywhere between 28-35 day cycles, and I’ve had a Clearblue smiley on day 20 once on the 28 day cycle, and it’s likely I conceived last month around the same time even though it was longer.

This is where I’m at currently. Loads of EWCM today but my tests look like this. I’m testing 3 times a day but any gaps in times were just super pale tests cos I was super hydrated and didn’t bother taking a photo.

Do you think I just have a low baseline? They’re so faint.
