Thanks you! Any advice? I'm a wanna be dad! And we are trying anything after the depo! It's been 9 months now having dark brown blood and tiny spots of bright red blood now and again tried Agnus cactus and another one from Holland and Barrett's in a red pot can't remember the name we are eating healthier what else can we do?

I'm a first timer here myself Calvin, so i regularly look for feedback and advice from the other ladies. Is your OH tracker ovulation? I would also get some ovulation predictor kits. I got a huge stash of them from Amazon for less that £10.

Sorry, meant is your other half tracking ovulation?

No we haven't got any! I'll order some now! There's nothing really to track! It's days here and there I have seen you can ovulate without a period! Heard of any tablets we can try?

I'm not taking any tablets in particular apart from some vitamins from SuperDrug aimed at fertility.

I'm not aware of ovulating without period, but then again I'm very new to this myself. If you get the predictor kits you can check daily for ovulation because there are so many kits in the pack so you want be wasting any. I would start doing these kits daily to see how you get on.

Only tablets I take is Folic acid and Vitamin D, as instructed by my GP. Fertility drugs are usually only available if you have been trying for at least a year or if one of you has a known problem but with your OH being on depo it can take a while for her cycle to get back to normal. Use the OPK's and a menstrual tracker app to give you a clearer picture and maybe try temperature monitoring. And try not to stress too much, I know how frustrating it is when you're desperate to be a parent!!

How old are you both Calvin?

CD12 and finally DTD this morning #backonit

How is everyone? I've got post bank holiday blues.

Cd141dpo
Morning all, hope you had a great holiday. Dh was a pain but managed to dtd cd6,11,13

CD32 18dpo, 11dpo or 5dpo or no dpo

Sucha- glad to hear you are back on it!! Yay well done Mr Sucha! That could be the swimmers u need.

Mimi- well done looks like you covered yourself.

Bfn today- didn't think I would b anything else really with this messed up cycle. Want AF to show now so I can start from cd1 again. Feel like I've been stuck in cycle forever. Temp is still up and still have lots of CM. No idea I could produce so much. Opk neg so think yesterday positive was showing same ovulation attempts 5 days ago. Read online that u can get about 5positives if the ovulation takes ages. So will go with that. No idea if ov was successful can only sit and wait.

Hope everyone's having a good day. Nice and sunny here.

How frustrating are you seeing the gynae the week?

Yes thank goodness.
The most frustrating part as you'll understand is that it was hard work dtd at the right time anyway not alone trying to manage it when kept having repeated surges! Has totally stressed me out and probably has not worked anyway.

CD10
Afternoon all,
Lovely and sunny where I am and HELLO FW
Managed to DTD x3 over past week (warming up!) since waved AF off. DH down in the dumps with a foot injury, I'm not letting that get in the way, might have to pull out my best moves Hoping to DTD again tomorrow (CD11), Thursday (CD12), Saturday (CD14) & Sunday (CD15). OD should be CD13 going by previous cycles.
Footprints Let's hope you get some answers this week, let us know how the appointment goes. Will you be taking your chart in to see what he/she makes of that?
Mimi Well done, sounds like you timed things just right!
Jem Superb effort fitting in a morning sesh! When are you expecting OD? Are you still doing opks?
xx

Hi all waves

Negative OPK today but DTD the last two days when I had positives so we've done all we can, 2ww starts here! Had some weird crampy pains across lower abdo today, I don't normally get menstrual cramps so not sure what's going on there! Gonna tuck into some pineapple and put my feet up!

How is everyone else getting on?

Yes completely understand your frustration footprints. It's a lot of effort timing everything right. The least your ovaries can do is comply. I hope Thursday brings you some answers and back on a straighter path to bfp.

Good effort tee! Sounds like you are right on track. I am opking - got a Snow White stick yesterday and a very faint line today so hopefully things are gearing up. I usually ovulate on day 15-16. DH is around all week so lots of DTD all round.

Fx rac!

How are you getting on radders?

...and relax Racja!
Don't forget the brazil nuts

Cd 23 4 dpo

All's quite here in the tww. A bit gassy (which I normally am not!!) and nips still weirdly sensitive. BBT nosedived below coverline, but it's only one temp, so not too weird. The odd twinge, but that's not mega unusual for me. So typical symptom spotting. I'm sure it will all lead to nowt. Low expectations, then everything else will be a pleasant surprise!!

Sorry CD 24 not 36! Dunno where I got that from

I've been eating walnuts all week, didn't realise it was Brazil nuts! Jeez, baby brain already ha ha

Heehee at walnuts racja who knows maybe they have even more potent ttc benefits!

physics I am so determined not to symptom spot this cycle! I really got myself convinced last month not doing that again!

DPO8; no symptoms here!! :-(

Came home to find DH fast asleep on sofa when he's normally at gym after work! Anyone would think he's pregnant!!!! Grrrrr!!

Hello everybody!

Did opk today and was lighter than yesterday but my wee looked pretty watery so maybe a bit diluted!
Tmi information alert but I checked my cm thinking it was Ewcm buuuut I think it was just semen... Eurgh.

Footprints even I can't wait to see what the gyno says so can imagine how you feel!

Suchajem yay to dtd time... Keep on it...!

Racja, physics, summer blush and mimi feeling positive for you. Sending baby vibes your way.

Tee sounds like jam packed dtd time which is brilliant. Be no excuse for the egg not to meet the swimmers!

Radders! Haha, I'm glad someone else said it! That is a bit of a problem for detecting and differentiating CM!! Especially if you haven't 'jumped & dumped', I never know what's what in FW!

Hello!
I've come to find some like minded individuals! ;)
We have been TTC since January for our 1st (well my 1st, his second) so still rather new to everything. I don't even know where to start with all this ovulation tracker business!?!

Sadly I imagine this month is going to be pretty unlikely as we have been moving so basically exhausted all the time.

It's so strange and exciting! All I'm thinking about are babies at the moment!

Just over 5 weeks?
Hi everyone!
Radders I'm laughing at your EWCM moment! If anything it's a great sign that you're getting plenty of BDing! The night I think we conceived I slept all night without a wee so woke up a bit like you!
Hope everyone doing well? I'm thrilled that you've been warming up so well Tee, FW won't know what hit it!!
Thanks for asking about Mimi and Footprints, but not really anything to update with! Been to the GP so I'll get a referral in the post.
Seems like lots are using OPKs, have been doing some reading and find it really interesting that pinpointing ovulation with the sticks has led to an increase in baby boys.. I know tee has spoken about how they're faster swimmers etc but really makes you think! Especially as nearly all of the babies born around here that I'd know of have been male.
Hope the TWW flies for those of you that are in it! One thing I never said that was different- when picking up a towel to dry myself after the shower it felt like sandpaper against my nipples as I lifted it up towards my face. Weird but it's been like that since week 2 of the TWW!
