Thanks for the advice. I have a cycle like clockwork so don't might not need to take anything. I've been taking folic acid

Jaylou7 · 23/04/2020 13:26

Ladies I am currently taking the trying for a baby tabs from boots. They are in a purple box and are mini tabs. I swear by them. Have fab reviews too xx

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 13:46

This is what's frustrating me ladies - I have a perfect 28 day cycle and we're still on month 8 TTC taken all vitamins and folic... perfect weight... the list goes on 😣

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 14:15

@ArjaD I'm hoping I won't be TTC much longer .

I'm going to be testing using OPKS this
Month which is something I've tried to avoid but something is going on so I need to see when I ovulate exactly to see what's going on with my cycles

We are trying the SMEP plan this month so who knows maybe this cycle will be the one !

I really hope all you still waiting get some
Good news ! I am taking my seat on the May bus and hoping for some good news ! Xxx

Carol1980 · 23/04/2020 14:48

@nicoleR14 I'm so terribly sorry to hear your sad news x sending much love x

Appears I'm ovulating early, so DTD last night and will again tonight, think I'll be ovulating either later today or tomorrow xx

Sending love to all you ladies xx hope your all keeping safe xx

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 15:04

@Hopefulmummie I am a great believer now in just letting the body do its thing, and folic acid should be enough. I am Overweight and because I am now pregnant, my midwife will get me a higher dose of folic acid to take when I get my appt. They joys of being chubby huh...

Hopefulmummie · 23/04/2020 15:17

Thanks for advice. I was actually prescribed folic acid a few months ago by GP as had blood tests that's showed I was low in folic. This was nothing to do with TTC so maybe it was a blessing this showed up. I'm wondering has this affected conception if I have been low in jt

Carol1980 · 23/04/2020 16:06

With my daughter I was taking the pregnacare plus x this time round I'm taking the sevens seas trying for a baby tablets, don't know if it's making a difference to be honest I think taking any folic acid helps but there are so many other vitamins out there !

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 16:08

Freaking out ladies ! 9dpo already felt out, I don't know why I just did this test before my after sun burn shower I just felt like I needed to . Please tell me you see it.

@Shelly10111 yesssssssss❤️❤️❤️❤️ wow that's an early bfp!

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 17:41

Really hope it's true :( trying so hard not to get excited incase it's a false positive or another chemical

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 17:51

@shelly10111 I see it too ! Fingers crossed
For you ! Xxx

Jaylou7 · 23/04/2020 18:37

It’s horrible isn’t it feeling that way. I’ve had 2 chemicals last one this month and you almost don’t want to celebrate. Have you had more than 1 chemical. I pray all goes well for you. I can’t test until end month xx

Bbutterfly · 23/04/2020 18:42

@ArjaD cracking up at your message 😂😂 nothing wrong with a bit of chub 😂

Omg @shelly10111 I can see it!!! If I was you I'll be testing again everyday! Fingers crossed for you, that arguing this week would've all been for nothing ♥️♥️ xxxx

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 18:48

Thanks ladies yes 3 chemicals :( hoping this wouldn't be another but I'm paronoid it's a false positive... fighting the urge to do another FRER tonight ....

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 18:57

Ladies I cannot believe it... just did a FRER after a 3 hour hold ... faint line, it was totally negative yesterday, please pray for this sticky bean ! Only have clear blue and cheapies left now so will do cheapie tomorrow and then clear blue on 11dpo

LucyCharlotteP · 23/04/2020 19:11

Hi ladies m, can I join? Me and my oh have decided to try for another baby. We have two girls already one soon to be 11 and the other 4. I’ve just come off my period I am on no contraception.

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 19:13

Clear blue tends to detect much higher hcg levels only, so careful if you use those to test early xxx BUT CONGRATS! IT'S LOOKING GOOD! Sorry didn't mean to shout 😂

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 19:13

I'd love to say this is still a lucky thread but I don't want to jinx it, a lot of heartbreak on here too xx

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 19:31

Yes :( tried to take pic of my frer butnits so faint - the line is pink and wasn't there yesterday so for now I'm happy although as you say I'd prefer a pink dye progression so need some more frers really :/ - I got the one step internet cheapies that usually have bad reviews and the line on them is darker than the frer and like £2 for a box of 10! I'm only 9dpo so a long way to go :( praying that line grows dark

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 19:34

Taken it out the case so I could try get a better pic of the line, I took yesterday's apart too and was so hint of a line

Evening all, so much to catch up on since yesterday.
First off @NicoleR14 I'm so so sorry for the news about your husbands granny how very sad, sending you and your husbands family all the love to get through it❤️xxx
@shelly10111 wow congratulations to you, I know how scary it is but try and relax and hope everything will be ok, and Thankyou for my virtual hug yesterday too 🥰 I've certainly felt the love and support on here.
@Sungirl11 Thankyou too for your kind words, and bless you for offering to send me wine that's really sweet ❤️ luckily I do still have a few bottles left but Thankyou though, and your little fur babies are really cute.
@Donnat89 really sorry to see your af has came 😞 ❤️ hope your ok xx

Hello to any new people👋🏼

This thread is moving so fast isn't it 😁
Anyway just a little update from me, I finally spoke to the dr today and she said I can either go to the Epu for a scan or wait it out so for now I've decided to wait it out as the thought of internal scan etc I just can't be dealing with it as I just know its ending. But she did say if I changed my mind and want one to just call back, and she said if I get any really bad pains or really heavy bleeding to also call back. Other than that she said to do a test in 10 days and if it's still positive they will def need to scan me. So I'm just gonna wait it out, I've not had any major pains or anything yet just been like a normal heavy af so far. Hormones have been a bitch though, one minute I'm ok then I suddenly feel raging mad and then I just cry and I'm not a cryer at all so I look like a mad version of myself right now!
On a positive note I have ordered a fitness hula hoop today, like @ArjaD said, I am also overweight well I'm a size 16 now but I used to be a comfortable 12 but comfort eating/drinking through the stresses of life lol I've definitely gained a few extra stone over the last few years and I'm now determined to get fit in lockdown whilst I've got the time!
Oh yer and also, the dr is referring me to the early miscarriage unit once I have tested in 10 days so I'm happy about that..finally they are gonna do something!
