Hi! Can I please join? First month TTC our first. I've been lurking around here for a while getting some hints and tips but still feeling like a complete amateur! I've been using ovulation tests to give us the best chance. Hope everything goes well for you all!

@LokiCat sorry for delayed reply. It's been hectic! Had to shift our planning to every 36 hours alternating between morning and evening as had friends staying since Thursday and pretty sure I'm ovulating. CD 14 today! We're flying in to San Francisco and out from LA and will be travelling down the coastal road after attending DP's cousins wedding. Should be a good getaway!

Some advice please? Today I'm getting some translucent spotting! I dont normally get ovulation spotting, which I guess this is asI got the sharp ovulation pain yesterday on my right side (last month was the left). I'm a bit concerned as I don't normally get this. I've been taking pregnacare preconception, methyl folate, magnesium, calcium, D3, ashwanga and maca. I was taking bites but advised to stop this, list dose was Monday. Nutrition wise for 3 weeks I've been following g the hormone reset plan, I've dropped a bit of weight and feeling better in myself! Anyone have any experience or any ideas if this is something to worry about or what might be causing it?

@Lemonysherbet ahhh that’s good to know! Thanks 😊

@MIW01 your trip sounds great! The PCH is stunning.

I don’t think the spotting is anything to worry about during ovulation, last month I got lots of watery CM to the point where I was worried AF had arrived / I had wet myself 🙈 it was quite the shock but believe it is normal for some ladies! I think it can also be different each month! I’m not sure about the effects of all the supplements as I’m only taking folic acid, other than that carrying on as normal.

@MIW01 I was a bit worried about my CM this month. Last month had loads and this month hardly any. At the point my app suggested I should ovulate I also had no positive OPKs and my temp was low but a couple of days later still with minimal CM I got the positive and a then a temp rise. I do think things can go up and down. I’m only taking folic acid and vit D so again not sure I can comment on the supplements xxx

By ‘things can go up and down’ I meant CM can be different each month!

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all having nice weekends.

@MrsH497 we've not got started with SMEP, DP had really stressful and tiring week at work, will see what happens.

Thanks @Lozzlepop and @ELW85 we're ok, just a tough week.

@Anny27 love your idea of a holiday every fertile week

@82YorkshireLass - welcome! I’m also in Yorkshire. I’m relatively new on this forum and everyone is lovely! Xx

Welcome @82YorkshireLass this is such a lovely supportive bunch!

We went to look at houses today feel like it's something I can control when TTC I can control bugger all!!

Cooking dhal for dinner to remind us of honeymoon!
How's everyone doing?

@82YorkshireLass welcome!! I joined this group a few weeks ago and everyone is so helpful! It’s nice being able to voice our worries/craziness to others in similar positions😂😊 xxx

@MrsH497 it is such a good distraction. We moved into our new house three weeks ago and I’ve been distracting myself with Pinterest and instagram! Oh and a bit of gardening. Hope you find the right home soon xx

Well AF is officially late! Testing in the morning 🤞🏼

Keeping everything crossed @whatsthecraic91 any af symptoms?

@whatsthecraic91 ooohhh exciting times!! I feel like AF is on her way 🙃 had mild cramps and like 3 bowel motions in one shift at work so there some tell tale signs for me 😅😅

@whatsthecraic91 fingers crossed for you!!!

@whatsthecraic91 fingers crossed for you. X

BFN! Why does our bodies torture us like this?

@whatsthecraic91 so sorry hun. But. You're not out until AF is here. Did you use FRER? X

@whatsthecraic91 so sorry hun. But. You're not out until AF is here. Did you use FRER? X

@whatsthecraic91 ahh so sorry about BFN - hopefully AF stays away and its a BFP tomorrow xx

My sister in law has very regular periods and didnt get a BFP untill AF was a week late!

Hey ladies. Having a real downer today feeling negative about everything. Just don't think I've been lucky this month I'm due AF next week or start of week after and just feeling so down about how long it's taken then to MC and start again.

@MrsH497 I feel you! I have angry PMS today and period pains and just feel a bit glum about the whole thing. I'm sure it'll pass in a couple of days - and I'm planning to get super fit this month but still, a bit disappointing. Hope you're ok. And hope everyone else is having slightly better Monday's!

So I’ve just had some brown spotting and I don’t know weather that’s normal or not.

I was due to ovulate a couple of days ago but I’ve had 8 days of flashing smiley and not had a static yet. I thought I had EWCM on Friday but I’m not sure. I got a static smiley after 6 flashing smileys last cycle.

Also my graph is really strange with month

Can any of you help me understand what might be going on?

Thanks x

@newgirl89 @Anny27 used a FRER the only one I had! So I think I’ll just wait until AF shows up now cos she’s gonna! Can’t face another BFN
