Omg @stormtrooperjulian that sounds very positive! I've heard a lot of people say they've had stuffy noses on BFP.
I might be joining you on my first month of testing stupidly early...

@purplestar9 that's exactly what it feels like, my hamstrings feel sore like I've done a workout! I was trying to think back to what I'd done at the weekend but I've hardly done anything!

stormtrooperjulian · 03/09/2018 14:46

@Delilah7 @Crossfitgirl I hope it is a good sign! Not feeling very optimistic today but that’s probably cos I didn’t sleep well last night so I’m a bit tired.

ckc45d10 · 03/09/2018 16:14

Let us know how you feel the supplements are going.
One thing to note about CoQ10 is that it is better absorbed in a form that is water and fat-soluble.

Ebonyx · 03/09/2018 17:57

@delilah7 I have downloaded one called femometer but haven’t really got into the swing of using it properly do you suggest any that are worth trying? I feel like I maybe should of waited until my periods regulated for a few months before we started trying but I was just too excited! Xx

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 18:29

@Ebonyx be excited girl! I got pregnant last month on Flo app, and I log mine all the time. Only went by the app, my ovulation pains and EWCM. Unfortunately miscarried but it still worked so I recommend that! Plus not too difficult to work! Xx

Ebonyx · 03/09/2018 18:35

@Delilah7 oo okay thanks I’ll try that one!
Aww I’m really sorry to hear that hun! Forgive me for sounding stupid but what does EWCM mean? I’m new to this so sometimes reading these threads and having no clue what some of the abbreviations mean haha! Btw I just noticed the other thread shall I continue the chat on there? Xx

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 18:37

@Ebonyx yes Hun reply on there to my message here...

It's okay, these things happen for a reason! Egg white cervical mucus, you will know it when you have it! That's ok lovely. Just ask whenever you don't know. See this image below, helps with CM. Xx

Hey all - sorry I've been quite AWOL on this thread I am thinking of you all 😊
I've actually just come on to post to say goodbye for a while - I've been super stressed the last few weeks and I don't think that being on Mumsnet helps me, even though everyone is so friendly and supportive I think that I need a break for little bit.
I'm CD42, BFN this morning and no sign of AF. Also feeling ill 🤧 and woken up today with so many spots - hate my no contraceptive pill skin! I think that I just need to not think about TTC as much as I can, perhaps work some more on mindfulness. Really am so I'm sorry to go and leave you all but need headspace. Hopefully we can catch up again in a few months time - sending baby dust to all - I hope that there are LOADS of BFPs 😄 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼xxxxx

Delilah7 · 04/09/2018 17:17

@daisiesandpeonies bye lovely ;( so sorry your stressed. Some might not see this as we started a new thread! We posted you in it. Love to you xxxxxx

Crossfitgirl · 04/09/2018 17:38

@daisiesandpeonies I have been thinking along the same lines this month. Good luck and I hope the space helps, although I'm sad to see you go xxxxxx

Bye @daisiesandpeonies :( I hope you rest up and use the time to chill out, and have fun - lots of love from all of us! Xxxx

AngeloMysterioso · 04/09/2018 20:31

I've had a slight breakthrough after my setback last week- my GP has spoken to an endocrinologist and decided to start me on thyroxine now instead of waiting for my next blood test, so hopefully when I get tested in 4 weeks time I'll have the green light to get cracking. Fingers crossed! Feeling much more hopeful now!

FlapJackered · 05/09/2018 09:35

@daisiesandpeonies I thought you were being a bit quiet. We will miss you but I completely understand. Do let us know when you get your bfp though even if you don't come back! Take care of yourself 😘

Penguino888 · 12/09/2018 13:41

Hello everyone! 🙋

My stats:
I'm 31
TTC #1
Cycle 5

I came off the implanon rod after 6.5 years in February (after not having a period for this whole time!). Luckily I got my period back 6 weeks later and I have been TTC since May.

My cycle has been varying between 24-28 days but has been 24 days for the last 3 cycles with ovulation on day 14.

I have been a bit worried about the shorter luteal phase being only 10 days, but I think I just scrape through for the minimum to conceive. I'd love to hear of anything that has worked for people to extend this though!

I am currently 7 DPO and trying to remain positive but feeling that AF is inevitable this weekend 😭

Loving reading all of your stories and congratulations to those with the BFP recently! ❤️

cupcakesandglitter · 12/09/2018 14:32

@Penguino888 join the mega mega thread 😊 I'll see if I can tag you in it xx

buntingandstarcharts · 14/09/2018 10:30

I have posted on the September thread but I got a BFP today! 9 DPO! 11 months of trying, I can't believe my eyes! I just wanted to share because I'm going to wait til missed period before I tell husband (to avoid disappointment if chemical p) xxxx

@buntingandstarcharts CONGRATS DARLING ❤️❤️❤️

buntingandstarcharts · 14/09/2018 11:43

@Delilah7 thank you sweetie, I'm in absolute disbelief because I feel my period is coming? Very confusing? But I've done 4 tests and all positive. Just praying that it sticks, it's so common for them not to. Scared! Xxxx thanks for your cute message -means loads xxxx
