@AnxiousAnnie86 thanks I might give premom a go and see what that's like

@biscuit13 that's awesome! I bet that feels great watching it go darker Smile how long were you trying for? And do you mind if I ask did you dtd every day or every other day during fertile window?

@tossacoin1 I do feel a lot more relaxed now, was very anxious when the lines were so faint.
I feel a bit of a cheat really because this was only our 2nd month "trying" but we didnt end up trying because I was ill most of the month, so we literally only dtd once (trying to make some kind of attempt), I got my static smiley so my peak opk in the morning and we dtd in the evening and then went to sleep so i stayed laying down. That was it 🤷🏻‍♀️ although I did use preseed that time so maybe that helped?
I was totally NOT relaxed because i was stressing that we weren't able to dtd leading up to peak. But i did relax after because i thought there was literally no chance! It was only because I had cramps for about a week-which was weird- and also no spots leading up to being due AF that I did a test.

@biscuit13 amazing news, so pleased for you 😁🎉

tossacoin1 · 01/03/2020 19:08

@biscuit13 well they say all it takes is one time and it's very true. My friend conceived both her pregnancies first time. I'm hoping with using opks this will be our month and that maybe I've just been timing it wrong🤞🏻 we've used pressed but my husband doesn't like it and I don't think we'll be using it again annoyingly. I went into this stupidly expecting to conceive first time, it's certainly been an eye opener

@tossacoin1 I would give premom a go for sure! I don't know if I want to temp this month, it stressed me out last month 😂

@biscuit13 congratulations!!!!! Xx

Well I just can’t make sense of this 😂 bfns, day 34 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone just gone into their tww?
AnxiousAnnie86 · 01/03/2020 19:28

@Jobie9 when do you think you are due? X

Jobie9 · 01/03/2020 19:30

App is saying 39 days so 6 days to go (allegedly) x

Jobie9 · 01/03/2020 19:31

@AnxiousAnnie86 tag :)

tossacoin1 · 01/03/2020 19:32

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm not sure I want to temp either! My temps are all over the place and it's so hard doing it the same time every morning

AnxiousAnnie86 · 01/03/2020 19:43

@tossacoin1 I find it hard to do same time, maybe I will have one more go at it this month.. I don't know, I have a acupuncture appointment tomorrow x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 02/03/2020 18:00

So I've noticed since coming off the merina last year, my periods are so light. I have one day of normally really heavy bleeding then 1/2 of light, this time it's just been three light days.... I'm worried this is what's causing issues :(

AnxiousAnnie86 · 02/03/2020 18:00

That's 1/2 days light, not half a day x

SS123456 · 03/03/2020 07:14

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm having very light periods too (just a bit heavier than spotting) which last for just a few days following a short luteal period (10-12 days). This is my 5th month trying so if I don't conceive after 6 months I'm going to chat to the doctor about it as I will be 37 in October and running short of time

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 07:34

@SS123456 mines the same after the first day, do you have a short cycle or do you ovulate late in it? I have a 32 day cycle and normally ovulate around 17..... x

SS123456 · 03/03/2020 07:52

@AnxiousAnnie86 my cycles are around 32 days too and I seem to be ovulating between day 18 and 20 from what I can tell

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 08:25

@SS123456 so it's not the length of the cycle, it's the time you ovulate.... have you tried things in the first half to regulate ovulation? The tumeric tablets I have been taken reduced me from a 6 week cycle, I was just not ovulating till really really late xxx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 08:26

@SS123456 oh and evening primrose tablets, but only till ovulation happens x

biscuit13 · 03/03/2020 08:42

@AnxiousAnnie86 @SS123456 sorry to jump in but I did read on another thread that having light periods could mean that the lining hasn't built up enough for implantation to happen.
I dont think it's when you ovulate because I'm about 32 day cycle and got my peaks on day 19 or 20...
I think it would more be that your lining isnt thick enough?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 08:49

@biscuit13 I've been reading up on it the last few days and there's conflicting information. Most things are saying that light periods didn't have a negative impact, but surely it must... not sure what I can do to thicken it! My first day is normally so so heavy It made sense the other days are light, but it's not been like that this month xx

SS123456 · 03/03/2020 10:29

@AnxiousAnnie86 thanks I will check out tumeric tablets

SS123456 · 03/03/2020 10:32

@biscuit13 I read the other day that light periods and a short luteal phase could indicate too low progesterone levels which means the lining isn't thick enough for implantation. I'm hoping it could just be because I am still settling down after coming off of the pill late October as I am was on the mini pill and didn't have periods on it at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 10:39

@SS123456 yeah same wirh merina, I didn't have a period for over five years! I've heard a lot of people say periods are light after the pill xx

SS123456 · 03/03/2020 11:23

@AnxiousAnnie86 when did you have your coil removed?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/03/2020 11:26

I had it removed in August last year, I got pregnant in September after one period, then miscarried, then it took till Jan for periods to return, xx
