HelloBrass I’m sorry to hear you’ve been feeling low.. I hope you dont see Any spotting in the next few day! I don’t get any signs of AF so I won’t know until I test... I thought I was testing on the Saturday too but I worked it out and I should be due AF on the 25th which makes it Thursday.. fingers crossed for everyone šŸ¤žšŸ½
Sorry to hear that decgal I have no idea about the pregnacare tablets as I just take folic acid as that’s what I did last time 😊
That’s good the nurse said it was okay for your tests today! At least that’s done for now abz
Lets hope you get some answers lovelysam it’s horrible not knowing what’s going on!

@Rightnow1245 I am only going to take the folic acid tablets from now, how many children do you have? how long were you taking the tablets before you concieved?xx

Lovelysam1 · 18/10/2018 15:08

I know, I want a bfp or for af to show up I have never been this late before

Soph4321 · 18/10/2018 15:23

@Abzi91 I'm taking home brand folic acid and vit d from Superdrug. They're cheap and cheerful and easy to swallow.
I remember the pregnancy tablets I had with my first born, and they were huge!

I've been symptom spotting, but I really don't feel well.
Yesterday I was dizzy at work, and then fell asleep when I got home. Then still had a full sleep last night. I never nap during the day, so that's weird.
All that cramping I had the last few days, had stopped this morning.
But instead I was dizzy and felt sick. I also can not stop weeing today.
I've just had to stop myself from buying a test- cos it's still too early and will be a waste of money xx

Abzi91 · 18/10/2018 15:49

Thanks for the recommendations guys! ā¤ļø Will just get folic acid and vit d then😊

Sorry to hear you've been feeling so dizzy and sick @Soph4321! Hope you feel better!!

Mumof4andahalf · 18/10/2018 17:19

Started spotting today, not sure if that means I'm out for this month ā˜¹ļø

bunhead34 · 18/10/2018 18:12

@Soph4321 I think there's a funny bug going around, I had that a couple of weeks ago. Hope you feel better. But you never know it could be pregnancy symptoms for you!
I've got a bad bladder infection now. I had it last week but then antibiotics I got weren't compatible so now waiting for another wee test results to see what will work.
Anyone know how long test results usually take? I don't want to wait all weekend!
I feel like the doctor could have given me something else okay for pregnancy when I spoke to her. But she was horrible and I didn't want to ask her! Why are some gps so mean?!
Does anyone know if infections can affect early pregnancy? I'm in the TWW.
Oh the joys....

bunhead34 · 18/10/2018 18:13

@Mumof4andahalf when is af due?
You never know, everybody's different!

Soph4321 · 18/10/2018 18:22

@bunhead34 yeah a few people I know have had the sickness bug. Fingers crossed it's not a bug!
I'd much rather it be early pregnancy symptoms!
When I've had bladder infection tests at docs, they usually ask u to call back a week later for the results. But my docs are rubbish and slow!

Mumof4andahalf · 18/10/2018 18:51

@bunhead34 I was due yesterday, I had a blighted ovum last month and have felt pregnant for last few weeks, so many symptoms, ov'd 15 days ago so should of got a bfp by now if I was going to get one

Rightnow1245 · 18/10/2018 21:08

Decgal88 I have one little boy who’s 14 months 😊 I was only taking it for a month before I fell pregnant with him.. I was very lucky I got pregnant on my first cycle last time šŸ™Œ how long have you been taking the other tablets for?

soph sorry to hear you’ve been feeling rubbish! Well done for not POAS! I nearly took one this morning too but it would of been pointless because even if I was pregnant it Defo wouldn’t show 😬

@Rightnow1245 i have been taking the folic acid tablets for just over a month, just need to work out when im ovulating in Nov as my cycle was shorter than usual this month, going to start OPK when do you start using them? sorry am completeley new to this Smile
A bit about me
Age 29

Cycle 3
currently on AF Sad
Taking folic acid tablets and starting OPK next week Smile

Rightnow1245 · 18/10/2018 22:34

Decgal88 I always think it’s a good idea to use opk otherwise it’s guess work! This month I started on CD 11 but I didn’t ovulate until CD22 so if I hadn’t of used the opk my timing would of been way off 😬
How long was your cycle last month? Then you can roughly work it out when you should start 😊

OP posts:
Soph4321 · 18/10/2018 22:38

@decgal88 there should be a chart in the opk box, and it gives u an estimated day to start testing, based on the length of your cycle.
I got ovulation pain when I did my tests, so that confirmed that I was using them at the right time of my cycle.

My stats.
Age 30
TTC #2
Cycle 4
8dpo and symptom spotting like crazy šŸ™„

Abzi91 · 18/10/2018 22:56

Currently using Flo and Clue to track. Will probably switch to OPKs if this month doesn't work out!

So glad to have found this thread and you ladies 😊

Mcstark7 · 18/10/2018 22:58

Hey all!! New to this forum. A little bit about myself
Age 29
TCC #2
Still breastfeeding #1 (LO is 10 months)

I still haven’t got my period back, had some symptoms of ovulation this month šŸ™šŸ» And hoping for AF to arrive soon as I’ve been cramping, sore boobs, acne (I never get spots) and a grumpy bitch šŸ˜‚. Otherwise I plan to reduce to only night time feeds (currently doing morning & night) then slowly stop all together if I can’t conceive.

Anyone on here conceive while breastfeeding? Any tips for me?
Thanks :)

Decgal88 · 19/10/2018 06:21

@Rightnow1245 thank you hun! i was only using the app last month so was prob wrong so i will defo give the OPK a go Smile any recommendation for a good brand? I came off the implant in July so my August and Sept cycles were 30 days this month was 27! how long is your cycle? Thanks @Abzi91 sounds promising Smile

Rightnow1245 · 19/10/2018 08:12

Morning ladies 😊 Been up with OH and all night as they both have a sickness bug 😬 poor things!! I’m just hoping I don’t get it too šŸ¤žšŸ½

soph That’s so good you get ovulation pain! I don’t get anything the whole way through my cycle so I’ll have no hope in knowing.. where abouts do you get the pain?
I have no symptoms at all so hoping that’s not a bad sign as maybe it’s just to early šŸ¤”

abz Glad you’ve joined the group too 😊 I think it’s defo a good idea for next month but hopefully you won’t need it šŸ¤žšŸ½

mcstark7 I am breastfeeding but my son is a little older! My periods return at 6 months after I started to wean him.. so I’ll let you know how the whole TTC business goes for me lol..I know it’s defo possible tho 😊 You might not even get a period you might just get pregnant straight away.. that’s what happened to my friend 😊

decgal I use the internet cheapies because I test so much! I would spend to much money if I used the clear blue ovulation tests.. my cycles Vairy quite a lot since I’ve been tracking is anything from 30 to 35 days.. I would say start testing on CD8.. it’s probably really early but at least you won’t miss it! I think I got 80 tests for under Ā£10 from amazon 😃 Once you get your ovulation day you can start testing less because you’ll have a better idea!
