Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@Mumofboys17 I also think you should test, at least you’ll know either way hun x the limbo is awful x

Mumofboys17 · 16/01/2020 18:34

It's a no from me! 😂 I expected it so it's OK, I'm not even upset really! So no more testing for now, just need to wait for AF to turn up 😐
DH even bought me a clear blue on his way home from work 😂😂 bless him. At least I have a FRER and clear blue ready for next cycle whenever it shows up!! X

@Mumofboys17 that’s super frustrating, least it gives a bit of closure and hopefully af shows up so you can start on the next cycle. That was v sweet of DH too ❤️

@Beau2020x still got my fingers crossed for up you. Only takes one wee swimmer 🤞

Ellsbells112 · 16/01/2020 18:52

@Beau2020x Ahhh you could catch from the 13th!! If you had ewcm it protects the sperm and you might not know if you had any because sometimes it easily just slides right on out on the toilet 😂 haha xx

@Mumofboys17 ahh sorry to hear that but at least you know now, hopefully af shows soon so you can get onto your next cycle!! Xx

Beau2020x · 16/01/2020 18:56

Oh @mumofboys17 I am actually gutted for you :(

@Ellsbells112 @Quiffy I hope so! 😭😭 I've hardly had any EWCM this cycle or last. Before that the stuff was flooding out of me I couldn't miss it! I did use conceive plus on 13th though 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Mumofboys17 · 16/01/2020 19:01

@Beau2020x @Quiffy @Ellsbells112 thanks girls 😊 honestly I'm ok! It's just frustrating that AF hasn't turned up yet, I'll be joining you all at the beginning of next cycle this rate 😂 fml!!
Just said to DH we're really going to grab TTC by the horns this next cycle. Eat properly and try and stick to a 'fertile friendly' diet, use pre seed, sacrifice to the Gods.. the lot 😬😂

Beau2020x · 16/01/2020 19:05

@Mumofboys17 sacrifice to the gods omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dying here at that one.

Quiffy · 16/01/2020 19:08

@Beau2020x evening primrose oil is good for ewcm, although I’ve that preseed takes over the job for you anyway.

@Mumofboys17 sounds like a plan. Literally and metaphorically for the TTC horn 😹 you’ve got this!

Ellsbells112 · 16/01/2020 19:47

@Mumofboys17 I know what you mean about giving your all!! This ovulation medication is giving ovulation pain already and only taken it for 2 days? It's like my body is like heyyyy man Where's the estradiol?! Let's make FSH nowwwww!! Just imagining my eggs literally doing bachata in me 😂😂😂😂 grow mother fuckers grow!!
Dunno when I'm going to ovulate with this medication sooo gonna be doing opks from cd10. Gotta buy some more I lost my digital thing coming back from Australia 🙄🌏
Quite excited but don't want to obsess again, probably will but trying to think not to! Hahaha

I've started evening primrose oil @Beau2020x ill let you know if it helps because I vary from month to month too

Hi girls, slowly catching up on the new thread!
AF finished for me yesterday so cd5 for me now.

I started with evening primrose last cycle and stopped at ovulation, started again cd1 for this one.
@Mumofboys17 sorry about you bfn, we'll all get there soon!

BntTowers · 16/01/2020 21:02

I have a friend coming round at the weekend with her 6 week old girl, I brought some super cute bibs for her with yellow polka dots and yellow flowers, trying to avoid the girly baby pink that I'm sure she has been given loads of.
I get the looking at baby stuff, I try to restrict myself, although baby name videos on YouTube are a weakness...

Katie1109 · 17/01/2020 07:21

Morning ladies x How is everyone today?x
Missed DTD last night, OH fell asleep earlier after exhausting day at work, which I understand but I’m quite annoyed by it anyway 😩. Although it looks like my O day may be Sunday or even Monday instead. I’ve done an opk this morning and it’s still very faint and reading as low x it’s always been high day before and the morning of my peak, so considering we didn’t DTD last night if my O is day late then maybe we’re still ok to try in the next couple of days x

Beau2020x · 17/01/2020 07:34

Awww @BntTowers how cute!! I'm seeing my friend with her 3 month old tomorrow too and I've not seen him since he was 3 weeks old. I just want to buy him so much stuff 🙈🙈

@Katie1109 I suppose it's a good thing that you didn't manage to DTD then seeing as you're still low on OPKs! We hardly did it at all this FW 😫

Beau2020x · 17/01/2020 07:37

@Ellsbells112 that's a good shout actually because I was taking evening primrose oil the 1st 2 months TTC and had loaaads EWCM then I stopped because I wasn't sure if I could take it while TCC 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'll start again next cycle x

Mumofboys17 · 17/01/2020 09:10

@Katie1109 if I were you I'd start doing OPK's twice a day now if you're not already, I reckon if you did another this afternoon there'd be a difference in colour already x

@Ellsbells112 @Beau2020x I've never heard about taking evening primrose oil! I've been taking folic acid and wondered if that's why my cycle was longer this month, as I've read some prenatal vitamins can make it longer 😬🤷🏼‍♀️

Quiffy · 17/01/2020 09:11

@katie1109 looks like you've still got time at least. Going to try again tonight?

@Mumofboys17 any sign of AF yet?

Think I might of only just ovulated. Got a lower peak reading on one brand of opk today and a much lower high on another, must be different sensitivities. DTD last night and DH is working from home so going to squeeze in a lunchtime go.

Quiffy · 17/01/2020 09:15

@beau2020x @Ellsbells112 @Mumofboys17 Ive heard the Pregnacare preconception ones are bad for extending cycles, but I've been fine (although you sometimes get a neon yellow discharge tmi). Evening primrose had made a big difference to ewcm for me, actually saw some this cycle. I stop taking it once I hit ovulation day. Have any of you tried vitamin b6? Someone in another thread I'm on finally got her bfp and she was trying it out (ofc could be coincidence).

Beau2020x · 17/01/2020 09:45

@Quiffy yeah I take B complex and extra B6. The B complex makes my wee neon yellow hahaa

I've been using conceive plus as a little extra this month as I have had EWCM but not a huge amount. Going to deffo get back on the evening primrose oil next cycle!

TWW is on for me ladiessss! Although not quite sure what I am waiting for as totally missed FW ooops.

Mumofboys17 · 17/01/2020 10:03

I'll be getting some evening primrose oil too then!

@Quiffy nope!! 🤬 feel like digging around up there and pulling it out myself right now 😂 (I'm joking.. even I'm not that crazy) 😂😂

Katie1109 · 17/01/2020 12:08

@Mumofboys17 thank you, I'm already doing them twice a day since Wednesday! :( I'll give it till 3pm and do one then x
@Quiffy I'm also on pregnacare conception I started taking it 3 months ago, before it I was taking only folic acid and it didn't do my cycles any favours. Pregnacare seems to be ok, max 2 days variation x

Quiffy · 17/01/2020 12:54

@katie1109 yeah they didn’t switch me at all and been on them a few months. It worried me when there were review saying they had 40 to 50 day cycles because of them but worked fine for me. Well apart from the no bfp part 🤪

Quiffy · 17/01/2020 12:55

@Mumofboys17 get some jumping jacks on to try jumping on dh 😹 wouldn’t blame you for poking out, very annoying!

Katie1109 · 17/01/2020 14:22

Ladies why is my opk still so faint 😭 have I somehow missed it?! I was doing two opks a day since CD12, I’m now CD14 and I never ovulated before CD 14 😭

New thread for the crazy gang part 2!
Beau2020x · 17/01/2020 14:56

@Katie1109 have you been putting them into an app like femometer? I had a good solid 2 days of the same (getting sooo slightly darker) OPKS and then overnight it went from 45 to 117 on femometer or something similar - maybe you're not quite there yet?

In 24 hours I went from peak to nothing at all on an OPK. Today mine are totally negative

Quiffy · 17/01/2020 15:26

@Katie1109 I agree with @beau2020x it's likely still to come. Last month I ovulated two days later, so could be a month like that for you. Keep hope and testing!
