I collect her in 6 weeks. So excited.
Finally back from camping so back to my opks. My ovusense chart is so weird though. No idea if that crazy low temperature was ovulation or just from being outside. Temperatures need to keep climbing to prove it I guess, I can cope with missing my window this time if I've shortened my cycle.

First thing I did when I woke up! Wink
Probably a bit late for a bfp but if this ovulation is confirmed then I'll have a 38 day cycle! I'm most excited for that

Maca and apimist (honey with added pollen, propolis and royal jelly) made the difference for me with dc1 and dc2 when my cycles were long and all over the place due to PCOS.

They didn't shorten the cycles but apparently help to regulate hormones and improve egg quality. Got pregnant and stayed pregnant relatively quickly after I started taking them (after a long time ttc and two mc).

Also used conceive+ gel which I think helped as well, and was on a low-GI diet which is beneficial for PCOS.

Aph413 · 01/06/2018 08:08

Thank you Sherlock2207 how long after you started them did you get your bfps?
Chart is still looking good this morning, appears I missed ovulation this cycle but how amazing since starting the Inositol I've nearly halved my cycle length.

Do u think itd mess up ur ovulation if u dnt have pcos tho?

Aph413 · 01/06/2018 23:53

Not from everything I've read. It's not specifically for pcos, it's used for weightloss and other things too

Oops sent too soon!
@Aph413 which inositol did you buy? I think I am going to get some for next cycle.

Took a pregnancy test with one step on Thursday and it was positive- since taken Clear blue and first response and they came back negative. 🙁 just looked at the reviews and apparently lots of people get false positives on it.
I am not surprised as although I had a positive opk, my temps say I haven't ovulated yet and I am on cd39. I have been so good with diet and booze this cycle and it's still long 😩 feeling a bit low about it all.

Aph413 · 02/06/2018 11:30

FlapJackered sorry you got a false positive, I hate the one step pregnancy tests. I've had so many false positives from them. Fingers crossed you get a confirmed ovulation soon.
I got the 500g bag of inositol from my protein, I can send you a discount code if you like?
It's recommended to use powder because to take the dose recommended for ttc you need to take 8 tablets a day and it gets expensive.
The powder from my protein I started on 1.5g a day which is 7 scoops (tiniest scoop ever) then added another 7 scoops to take 3g daily. I'm currently doing 18 scoops for a full 4g dosage but they recommend you increase slowly because it can potentially give you diarrhoea.

FlapJackered · 02/06/2018 12:33

Amazing thanks @Aph413 - discount code would be great!
Yes so disappointing - I won't be using them again.

Aph413 · 02/06/2018 14:45

30% off £35 hope this obe is useful

FlapJackered · 02/06/2018 16:53

That would be great, thanks so much! Do you have the code?

FlapJackered · 02/06/2018 17:03

Ahh sorry just realised that's a link! Thank you. 😘

Aph413 · 02/06/2018 17:10

If it doesn't add the code then its

You just pop that in the discount code box

Heh ladies anybody up to anything xciting?

FlapJackered · 03/06/2018 15:02

Ordered! Thanks @Aph413
I hope it helps. I am so sick of these long cycles.

Aph413 · 03/06/2018 22:19

I hope it works for you too. Ovusense finally confirmed my ovulation as 30th May so AF is due 13th June, I'm really hopeful that camping didn't mess with my core temperature too much.

Nothing much exciting this weekend thisis been to work and sorting out my little caravan. Taking the shock absorbers off one at a time for change some rubber bits on them. According to my dad who is supervising this will sort the suspension out. Just got to buy some little indicator lights and all the technical work is done and I can move it from the garden it's in! Riveting I know 😅.

Hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend

FlapJackered · 03/06/2018 22:24

That's great @Aph413 - how long will that make your cycle? Is it looking shorter this time?
Well done on the caravan work! We have been painting the living room this weekend, also riveting stuff!

What have you been up to @thisisouryrfx18? How is your cycle going?

thisisouryrfx18 · 03/06/2018 22:42

@FlapJackered and @Aph413 ive been decorating aswell thats all i seem to do these days to try n keep myself busy..no amount of decorating seems to occupy my mind tho lol had a couple of drinks last nite only bonus to not being pregnant eh?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 03/06/2018 22:48

If it's correct I'll be down to 37. Which is amazing. Last cycle was 56 days to missed period and then obviously I miscarried a week after that.
Sounds like we've all had such interesting weekends Wink

FlapJackered · 03/06/2018 22:49

Me too @thisisouryrfx18 - exactly! 🍷
I just want AF to hurry up now so I can get going on the next cycle with my new poa, as this one obviously didn't work!
