Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🀞🏼

Hope everyone’s doing well.
I’m feeling a bit more positive today, not about this cycle just in general (which very like unlike me in the run up to AF πŸ˜…)

Both BBT and RHR were down this morning but still above baseline and no AF yet. If BBT and RHR dip further tomorrow morning then AF won’t be far behind

@Lh4503so sorry for your loss, I hope your ok ❀️

Update on my side as I haven't been on for a bit. Cd9 on our 4th and potentially last cycle. Not due to ovulate for another week so it's just a waiting game atm.

@MegLSi used to take pregnacare but it gave me horrendous heartburn after and then someone told me it was full of fillers so I swapped over to naitre but tbh I don't know if they're any better 🀣

Lh4503 · 01/09/2025 16:54

@WF1990 I've just ordered coq10 to try too, how do you find it?

I've also got the usual conception vitamins and omega 3. I'll try anything at this point!

WF1990 · 01/09/2025 15:56

@MegLS no experience but I take :
inosytol
coq10
vit d, c, b9, b12
omega 3

pretty sure the omega 3 is giving me heartburn though πŸ˜…

@Lh4503 So sorry, hope you're doing okay🩷

@EllieWales How are you? Has AF made an appearance today? Got my fingers crossed for you!

I was previously just taking folic acid but my husband and I have just started the Pregnacare his and her for conception vitamins. Had some mixed reviews with a few people saying they really helped and others saying it made their cycles longer, but my luteal phase is often quite short so figured it might not hurt anyway! Has anyone had any experience with them?

WF1990 · 01/09/2025 14:21

Hi ladies how is everybody feeling today ? πŸ’— I hope you’re all feeling a bit better.
im in the β€œ I don’t care β€œ pre ovulation phase which I always prefer since the 2WW drags !!

Thanks @EllieWales very true, will just have to wait til the weekend & see what happens. I’m 2 years down the line now & not sure how much longer I can deal with it. How are you today?

@WF1990 the waiting is tough, I always wish time could speed up. This is the month of your appointment though 🀞🏻

@Insidemyownhead i’m sorry you are feeling deflated about it too. I definitely think I need to come off the socials too. It 100% puts me in a down mood when there is another announcement

@Lh4503 definitely agree that a break from socials is the way to go. I need to find something in an evening to occupy me. Hope you are doing ok

Lh4503 · 01/09/2025 09:00

Aww girls, I know what you mean everyone on socials seems to be pregnant lately. I had a break a few weeks back and it did me good, so if it's getting to you definitely take some time away. Sorry your all feeling so deflated, it's really tough constantly being in this cycle and feeling like it's not going to happen. Sending you all hugs and make sure you take some time for you, treat yourself to something nice and hopefully the positivity will be back soon 🩷🩷

Insidemyownhead · 31/08/2025 22:40

2dpo here, strangely enough I’ve also not had the same enthusiasm to allow myself to hope this cycle either 😟
I think after this one I might need to come off socials until Christmas/the new year to give myself a break from that, definitely know how it feels on that front!

WF1990 · 31/08/2025 22:27

Hey girls, waiting for my LH peak which is probably due in 10 days πŸ₯²
so pretty relaxed so far , we will still give a shot at ttc even though I know we will likely need the medication to actually conceive.
ttc #1 for me, I think we’re coming to 13 cycles of trying. Starting to feel deflated but I’m sure the appt with the clinic soon will be positive.
you’re not out until Af shows! Don’t lose hope xxx

EllieWales · 31/08/2025 21:03

We’re not out until we’re out @Figtree11 often people say that the cycles where they had the least symptoms where when they actually conceived! I get it though, I think part of me doesn’t want to test because I know it will be negative and the thought of another month feels daunting. This is cycle 6 this year (third consecutive cycle - we took a break in between).

You might have a change of heart closer to testing time 😊 hoping for a lovely surprise for you

Figtree11 · 31/08/2025 20:52

@EllieWales I’m sorry that you feel similar. I really hope that AF doesn’t arrive for you. I’ve no inclination to early test either. I’m not really sure why I don’t feel hopeful. At 1dpo I felt like we’d had a good shot at it. But now I just can’t imagine seeing 2 lines. It probably doesn’t help with how many people I know who are pregnant, and even going on to have their second babies now

EllieWales · 31/08/2025 20:26

@Figtree11 I’m the same, this cycle has been so messed up that I’m just not feeling it. I think I’m 11dpo today with AF due tomorrow and I haven’t even tested yet which is so unlike me. Is there a reason you’re not feeling very hopeful this month?

I also feel like everyone I know is pregnant and keep seeing fresh babies everywhere 😫

Figtree11 · 31/08/2025 20:08

@Lh4503 ❀️

How’s everyone doing? 5dpo here, and I feel very negative about this cycle. Had a little hope at the start but don’t now. Doesn’t help that I keep seeing pregnancy announcements on instagram all the time

Lh4503 · 31/08/2025 12:36

Thank you all ❀️❀️❀️ yes we're doing okay. Hope you are all doing okay too.

Figtree11 · 31/08/2025 12:29

@Lh4503 i’m sorry - glad you have that bit of closure with the test though, and you’re not in limbo for ages, even though I know it’s hard

WF1990 · 31/08/2025 12:21

Sending you lots of love @Lh4503🫢🏽 so sorry for you and dh. Take a few days to relax and take care of yourself 🀍

I’m so sorry @Lh4503 glad you have closure with the test but doesn’t make it any easier πŸ˜” hope you and DH are doing ok x

Lh4503 · 30/08/2025 19:50

Hey all, just a little update I got back home today took another test and it's a BFN so I've definitely had another loss. πŸ’” I'm doing okay though, obviously emotional but that test has given me a bit of closure now so I can move forward.

WF1990 · 29/08/2025 16:33

@WF1990 i don’t feel like the metformin is doing much for me now. I did notice is make my cycles shorter, but then this month I’m on track for a 43 day cycle. Not long til your fertility appointment then, it always feels better knowing you have a date to aim for

Thanks @EllieWales I hope you’re getting on ok

@Lh4503 i am so so sorry πŸ˜”
