Me too! How long have you been taking it? This is my second cycle taking it. I'm 3 dpo now so just a couple of days ahead of you I think? Fx for us both!

LuciBee231015 · 09/10/2016 11:21

This is my first cycle taking it. Started on 24th September and stopped taking it today as they say to stop at ovulation. I will be 1 dpo tomorrow so you are just a few days ahead of me. Period due on 22nd Oct.

Going to try and hit the gym quite a bit in the next 2 weeks to keep my mind off of the 2ww!

happybus28 · 09/10/2016 15:58

Yeah I have stopped it after ovulation too. I'm actually quite looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after a week off, hopefully keep me busy and take my mind off the TWW!

Tommygirl10 · 09/10/2016 22:03

Evening ladies!
I'm contemplating taking agnus castus soon. Where is the best place to get it? Online the milligrams are much higher (1000) whereas in store (h&b/ boots etc) it's only 4mg? I'm a bit worried about buying from eBay though. My cycle has been 42 days longggg since coming off the pill in February, although last cycle was slightly shorter at 38. I've been taking seven seas Ttc once a day since February. Any advice would be gratefully received xx

happybus28 · 09/10/2016 22:14

Hi tommy I bought mine off amazon and it is 1000mg. I take 2 in a morning from CD1-ovulation. Stop taking them after OV. First cycle taking them I still had a fairly long one at 41 days but 2nd cycle taking them now and I ovulated on CD14! Have previously been ovulating CD30+ so they seem to have done the trick for me! The pill is responsible for my messed up cycles too!!!

Tommygirl10 · 09/10/2016 23:05

Aw thanks happybus! That's very informative. I shall order some from amazon this week then. What brand do you use if you don't mind me asking? Any particular one? The pill is the devil now we are ttc ay?! Fx for the both of us that we are able to conceive very soon. Thanks again xx

happybus28 · 10/10/2016 06:42

No worries, happy to help. Posted a pic of the packet of mine Smile

LuciBee231015 · 10/10/2016 06:59

I take the same ones as happy and take 2 in the morning too!

LuciBee231015 · 10/10/2016 10:10

1dpo today for me... The wait begins 😴

happybus28 · 10/10/2016 11:00

I normally think the 1st week isn't too bad lucie but it's dragging already for me, can't seem to get it out of my head today and only 4dpo! Gonna be a long 10 days I think..

LuciBee231015 · 10/10/2016 12:43

The first week usually goes pretty quick doesn't it. It's the second week I find that drags as your getting closer!

I'm quite busy at work and have plans all weekend so hopefully my mind will be occupied! 🙈

My af is due the day before my 1st wedding anniversary, not great timing if she shows as we are staying away for the night 😩

HighHopes16 · 10/10/2016 16:48

Hi all, not much to report from me, hope everyone is well??
I've found a local clinic that does fertility scans for £99 so have just enquired as I don't think I can wait 18 weeks for the nhs referral and just need my mind putting at ease.
Started taking Inositol today which is a b vitamin that apparently promotes fertility and is good for women with pcos - worth a try!

MouseLove · 10/10/2016 18:21

That's great news HighHopes and a great price.

I'm glad I've finished work. Don't think I could take much more of looking at babies and pregnancy related stuff. BUT was told today I'm working on a different project for the next 3 weeks at least so a little break from the baby and pregnancy stuff.

looby1304 · 10/10/2016 18:54

So I'm cd24, usually a 25 day cycle. I would have expected some brown discharge to have started yesterday (sorry tmi!) but it didn't. I've never gone pasts cd23 without any before so I poas - and a BFN Sad. But I'm not out yet, still trying to think positive! I'm going to make myself wait until Friday now unless AF shows, and hopefully I'll be able to get a FRER before then, today's was just a clear blue. Keeping everything crossed!

LuciBee231015 · 10/10/2016 19:21

Fx looby!! Keep us updated!

MouseLove · 10/10/2016 21:16

Looby I think that sounds positive to me, get yourself a FRER and test on Friday!!!

LuciBee231015 · 11/10/2016 09:28

Any sign of af today looby? Fx!

BBS83 · 11/10/2016 10:27

Hi all, I have been catching up on a the posts I have missed. Congrats to all those with BFP's.

I have been away with work and had my mother in law visiting so had pretty much written this month off as a fail at TTC, so did not do any opks. I am on cd37 still no sign of af, no syptoms whatsoever. I think going on how I felt I may have ovulate later this month.
Cold not help myself and tester this morning but came up as a negative - just a cheapy one though.

Trying so hard not to break open the first response tests. Don't want to be negative and wish af to arrive but it feels like a write off month so just wanting to get on with cycle 14 already.

LuciBee231015 · 11/10/2016 10:50

BBS don't count yourself out until af shows! Fx for you!

I'm on 2 dpo today and had tiny bit of pink cm... Ov spotting perhaps?

looby1304 · 11/10/2016 11:15

Still no sign looby, I'm still planning on holding out until Friday though (at the moment anyway, I'll most likely cave in!)

looby1304 · 11/10/2016 11:15

luci even - didn't mean to reply to myself!

BBS83 · 11/10/2016 13:57

Thanks LuciBee trying to stay positive. Looby fx for you, I am trying to hold out to the weekend but pretty sure I will end up testing again before then...unless af arrives.

BoBo90 · 12/10/2016 19:27

Oooh good luck girls in the tww!! We're due a good bfp boom! 😁 I have my fx for everyone!!

Nothing exciting happening with me, midwife appointment next Tuesday and waiting on a scan date! You think after the bfp it's great but it just more waiting haha 😆 The whole process is just one big long wait 😊

MrsG280516 · 12/10/2016 20:24

Aww exciting though BoBo!

Nothing going on for me yet either, just waiting for my FW! Wondering whether I should take my thermometer with me when we go away on Sunday, if I don't then I won't be able to tell if I ovulate this month... hmmm.

LuciBee231015 · 13/10/2016 09:47

Bet you can't wait for your midwife appointment Bobo, and the scan date! How are you feeling?

I'm 4 dpo ...and bored 😴
