Another reminder that I need to cut the jelly babies!! Otherwise I think I'm looking ok!

There's definitely something about these b vitamins. I started taking seven seas tfab back in November, a month before we started ttc. Then last month I ate a load of kale, quinoa, avocado, nut, lentils etc. Then no spotting before AF last month.

Sparkly123 · 22/03/2015 19:59

I wish my spotting before AF would bugger off! Especially considering I chuck b vit foods down my gob constantly! Ha

Well I'm def having warming food tonight! We made a veg and cashew nut curry (I know you are all asking where the chicken/meat is..but it's surprisingly filling with the nuts, aubergine/squash etc!) it's def heat inducing as lots of chilli in there! Yum!

Hi Bean welcome to April! The one!!

Mumof1sofar · 22/03/2015 20:02

Thank you sparkly & spinning for the interesting information. Will definitely be paying close attention to what I eat & check how much b6 is in my vits.

Beansprout30 · 22/03/2015 20:21

Hope you are right sparkly mmm the curry sounds good, I love anything with cashews

Sparkly123 · 22/03/2015 20:39

Beansprout30 · 22/03/2015 20:58

Jammy dodger isnt it ?! Grin

Sparkly123 · 22/03/2015 21:02

Oh dear.. I thought that was supposed to be a nipple!! Ha ha Biscuit

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 22/03/2015 21:07

I thought it was a nipple Hmm
I think I need to get some b vits. Been eating lots of nuts as they are meant to be a good source.
I tried EPO but didn't seem to do much, for got to take it this cycle.
Have a lovely time in NYC bean

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 22/03/2015 21:08

Hahasparkly xpost great minds think alike.

Beansprout30 · 22/03/2015 21:10

Thanks purple not going till easter but on countdown.

Am I the only one who's experienced late ovulation due to b vits?

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 22/03/2015 21:32

How late did it make ov? I'm a bit worried about taking anything that could mess with things too much. so far I seem to Ov on 13/14 but my cycles average 25 so luteal phase is a bit short. After I started EPO I then read on a thread it has changed someone's ov day, but I took one tablet where as I think some take 3.

cymonsarah · 22/03/2015 21:32

Can I plonk me bum on the bus girls Smile

28 Cycle 4 TTC #1 BFP is gonna happen 17th April *

DizzyMerry · 22/03/2015 21:35

I've had pains in my left side and watery discharge but negative opk. Cd10 and not sure what is going on. Could I be leading up to ovulation? Well if I am then it's an improvement on previous cycles as I only get some discharge but no other symptoms Hmm

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 22/03/2015 21:36

melon I hardly get any if at all - that's why I thought I'd try EPO.

Beansprout30 · 22/03/2015 21:43

purple I cant be sure it was the b vits, I guess it could actually have been the epo as I took 2 of those each day and I didn't ovulate til cd 32 that cycle. Bit scared to try either again now

BabyBumpHopeful · 22/03/2015 21:43

Sparkly thanks for noticing my absence! I've sent you a PM with a photo of my furry child as she'd definitely out me! She's doing much much better. Vet was surprised how open her wound got but also happy because it was nice and clean. She's finished her antib's and she's back to her normal adorable self (but needs a bath!!)

CD19/32 still neg OPK. Really thought I'd get flashing by now at least... Remembered to take my BBT this morning but failed at it because my nose was blocked and I wasn't able to hold my breath the whole time. At least with OPK's I can be sure I'm not ovulating yet so my BBT screw up's aren't too bad. Still DTD EOD though just in case.

wotsits1 · 22/03/2015 22:00

melon I never got any (unless I went rooting around for it) until this month. For some reason I've had loads! Like, huge globs of it! Its so gross!

God knows where its come from, but I've never had it before! Weird.

cremedecacao · 22/03/2015 23:09

Melon- The last couple of months I had about what you describe. Definite improvement this month which could be due to expo/grapefruit/cough medicine. This month, when I rooted around for it i got a little more that was very thin but stretched between my fingers for about 3cm before it broke.
It wasn't copious but it was there for longer and definitely more than the previous months. A little present when wiping too and quite a lot after we dtd on ov day.

A few years ago I used to get LOADS that was like really elastic egg white and it would get everywhere. I googled it once and thats how I found out about ewcm! It used to freak me out a bit. Wish I had that now!

cremedecacao · 22/03/2015 23:10

Wotsits- thats good! Hopefully this is your month!

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/03/2015 23:25

That's interesting wotsits that you've suddenly got loads, have you done anything differently this last month?

Well I'm getting into dangerous territory over here. Very wet ewcm tonight and an ambiguous is it/isn't it opk test. We haven't dtd since Friday (too soon) but I'm determined to stick to my plan of no dtd until ov. Which could well be today.......DP wanted to dtd tonight but we've stuffed our faces full of takeaway and I feel sick, so couldn't even if I wanted to!

My plan will be for tomorrow night and then tues or weds..... deep breath

cremedecacao · 22/03/2015 23:29

Dizzy, why no dtd til ov? I've read the best days to conceive are one and two days before. I always feel the most 'ready' (as you describe) two days before I ov. Why not dtd tonight as it sounds like you have a good environment for happy sperm!

Sparkly123 · 22/03/2015 23:30

babybump yep I totally wondered where you had gone!! Got the pics! Cuties!! So glad all ok now. I hope you get that peak OPK soon! If you are dtd eod you are sorted anyway! Fingers crossed!!

Melon can honestly say I don't remember ever having ewcm it's always just wet!! And I've had a BFP! So don't stress Wink
