@fivebyfive2 (new name?) just start when you're ready. If you're happy to and DH is happy to then there's nothing reckless about it IMO. I think the only downside is if you did catch again straight away it'd be a bit harder to date, but that's what scans are for 🤷‍♀️ listen to your body and go with how you feel.

@flapjackered oh no... POAS mayhem... Sorry 😬😬😬 hide them??? Lock them away and give DH the key?

@toobies1 ahhh good old forcing of sex in FW, it's gotta be done 😂 since when did sex become such a big thing! Everything focuses on that during ttc and its bloody tiring! Good luck and yes cycles can still be funny even when you're regular, just our bodies being helpful as usual xxx

@crossfitgirl, yes I had a 'moment' and deleted MN then quickly changed my mind and signed up again!! Hope you're doing OK and getting prepared?! Xxx

To be honest we've been told that many things by different people and read conflicting advice... We're now not even sure we need to test, as dh is sure no one at the hospital told us to do this and it's not on any of the letters. Think a friend may have told me she had to do it and I got mixed up?! Might just do one Mon for piece of mind though. Just re read all the hospital bumf, it does say we don't Have to wait... But dh says that is what our lead nurse advised (I think for dating and also to give the body a bit of a break after the op) so wants to wait. So will probably wait!

On a happy note, my bro is proposing to his gf next week, so that's a nice distraction!! 🙂

@Lottiepink I'm only CD7, so not much fun happening here.

@FlapJackered I'm torn. Because I can either tell you to stop poas, while, on the other hand, I poas on CD5 just to make sure I'm not ovulating early. And I can't stop because of the precise days I have to take the pills on. But... While you pee on all the sticks, what you actually need to do is to stop worrying. There are literally no reasons.

@fivebyfive2 it's different for everyone, which is why, I'm sure, the safest most broad answer is to wait until your next cycle. Imo, listen to your body and pay attention to symptoms. If there's ewcm, especially, it's your body's way telling you that it's ready, since you can't stick your head into your ovaries and look at the follicles. I mean if your body is going through the motion of ovulating, why would it do that if it's not "ready"?

My second bbt thermometer decided to display only two temperatures, either one or the other, instead of actually measuring. I think the first one sabotaged it because it got jealous. And the first one veeery suspiciously started working again, I'm definitely suspecting foul play.

@KatBeCool I'm the same cd7 too, it's the calm before the storm I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

What tablets are you taking? Is it vitamins? Sorry I keep loosing track of people and what they are taking etc 🙈

I just take folic acid, and vitamin D as someone said you need it when ttc. But I've never really looked into that side before. Maybe I should for the cycle?

@Lottiepink I am on Clomid, Estradiol, Progesterone, so you take those on specific days of the cycle. This is my second cycle on them, first didn't work.
As far as supplements consider something like pregnacare instead of just folic acid. Omega-3s are very important, and everything else on the list has a purpose.

Hi ladies just a wee update I have to go for blood tests on Monday doctor was nice said I have to go for laparoscopy and dye test to check what’s going on as I have had pelvic pain recently and no AF since January. I have had laparoscopy before when checking for endometriosis but I am nervous.

Hope your all getting on ok x

@Pinksunset1 - oh no, good luck with both tests and fingers crossed for some answers and then solutions very soon!! xx

@Pinksunset1 that is great they are looking into it all! I understand the nerves about the Lap but it's not too bad and it will be good if it sheds some light on the long cycle.

@KatBeCool 😂 i have stopped peeing on sticks now! Although due to Dtd tonight and I feel so bloated and tired I am delaying until tomorrow. 😩 knowing my luck that means I am probably ovulating today! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@Fivebyfive2 ahh that's so lovely about your brother. Has he told you how he is going to do it?
I was told I needed to test 3 weeks after the MC to check it has all come out, but because you had the surgery I don't think that would be a worry for you? I also just want to know it's negative in case by some miracle I get pregnant this cycle, I don't want to worry a bfp is just retained hormones.

@Crossfitgirl I blame you!! 😂😂 I have stopped now, the will power has prevailed! 💪🏻

@starkid thank you I hope it gets to bottom of things. How are you getting on?xx

@flapjackered I hope so then can get some idea of what happening. How are you getting on?xx

Morning ladies, hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far!

@BostonFern what a nightmare, I hope you didn’t have to do too much work over the weekend? The OH was still doing his ya from Thursday at 11:40pm on Friday night 🙈 how was the theatre what did you go see?

@Pinksunset1 that’s good that you are getting somewhere now, speaking to another doctor was deffo a good idea, fingers crossed for you!

@Fivebyfive2 how exciting do you think she’ll be expecting it?

Currently 10DPO had some spotting yesterday during DTD (absolute mood killer) don’t want to get my hopes up thinking it could be IB as the exact same thing happened last month 😒 DP was asking how I was feeling about this cycle and I said not hopeful so have suggested making more of a plan for next month to try and cover all the bases!

@flapjackered @Lozzlepop, they're going to Whitby at the weekend and apparently he's hoping to do it while they're on a walk by the big Abbey 🙂 She has no idea, she told a friend that she thinks he might ask in December so will probably be surprised when he asks nex week! It's all very exciting!!

Well, my spotting seems to have stopped so may try to seduce dh today, just for fun... Hope I've still got it?!

@Lozzlepop, keeping my fingers crossed for you that this is your cycle! Sorry about the dtd spotting, that would put us off too! What are you thinking for next cycle to cover everything , if you don't mind my asking?? We may also be making a plan! Xxx

@KatBeCool how did you find the progesterone? After having read more the last few days on my Agnus Castus I'm going to start taking it from tomorrow. I was due to ov today but with being ill my temps have been all over the place so can't really tell and I keep forgetting to do an opk but I don't really vary that much month on month.

@Pinksunset1 I bet you're so glad you went to see a different dr. I hope the tests shed some light on the situation.

@Lozzlepop bummer about the mood killer, could it have just been something simple like during foreplay?

After feeling really crappy all week and not DTD since Sunday (which is long for us) we've had a weekend of it haha, Friday night after watching Captain Marvel, yesterday twice, planning today as well! 🥵 Hopefully that'll cover ovulation which I think is today. Then on to my post ov diet plan and Agnus Castus!

How is everyone?? I've been having such vivid dreams that I'm pregnant to the point of tests being clear telling my best friend and hubby. Wish it was true!

@MrsH497 not on your own there girl, I had a dream last night that we got a BFP. On the strangest looking test though haha
It's because it's always in your mind and it's something your wanting so badly that you're dreaming about it. Perfectly normal hun.

Morning ladies.
I'm 10dpo today, thought I'd try a naught early test with second morning urine.
Tried an internet cheaply first, thought I might have possibly seen something incredibly faint, so thought I'd try a FRER too.
I'm still shaking! Never expected to see anything, let alone at 10dpo.

Congratulations @BostonFern that's a lovely line for 10dpo!

Thanks @MrsAW2018 Feeling excited and nervous at the moment.

@BostonFern that's understandable, have you told your OH yet?

Yes, woke him up with a 'quick, come look at this!', scared the life out of him as he though something bad had happened. He's over the moon. Told me he 'had a good feeling this cycle'.

Aww @BostonFern so lovely to see! X

The biggest of congratulations @BostonFern Absolutely delighted for you. This is really a lucky thread! Hoping for a wonderful 9 months and beyond for you xxx

@BostonFern new home is fantastic, after living with fiancées parents for 18months it's like a breath of fresh air 😍 My wee kitty is transitioning from getting out to being kept in, that's a little bit stressful 😔

@Bostonfern **fiancé that should be (the boy one) haha I always get mixed up

Thank you @LikeTheFruit and @MrsH497

@MrsMcNtobe You must be loving the sense of freedom! Maybe try Feliway for your kitten? It's helped my cats before.

@BostonFern - Hoorayyy, congratulations!! Wow and at 10dpo eh? Brilliant
