Hi,
New on here! I have 2 children from a previous relationship and currently on cycle number 3 of TTC.
Pretty sure I'm 1dpo today, cycles are usually around 31 days. AF due on the 24th! Anyone else around the same dpo and want to chat?

I am keeping everything crossed for you too, for us all 🤞 I tested this morning, it was negative. Thought I could see something faint but partner said he couldn't. Reminds me of my daughter's test. Nobody else could see it but me. I think I was making it up this morning though with line eyes. Even took a picture and edited it, ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
I've ordered some first response early result ones again to try and they'll be here tomorrow so I'll test again Monday if no sign of AF. I do have another asda test I might try tomorrow but with them being negative I think I'm out. I'm sure it would show now 😔

@jessiemay2020 thank you hun. I would definitely test again if af isn’t here yet. Last cycle I found myself taking the test into different rooms looking for a line, still nothing though 🤦‍♀️

Jessiemay2020 · 23/05/2020 16:24

@suki2020 i just think it would have shown up by now if I was, with me being 13dpo...it is known for it to take a while to show for some people I guess but arghh!
Yeah I came downstairs, kitchen, hallway, dining room and living room as well at the landing and bathroom. Absolute madness 😂😂

@Suki2020 @Jessiemay2020 I did this the other day! Moved to different lights hoping to see another line 🤣

I feel really crampy now feel like I could come on any second ☹️☹️☹️

Jessiemay2020 · 23/05/2020 17:54

@mrsLA88 oh god nooo that's how I've been feeling. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

😂😂 sooo glad I'm not the only one holding tests up in different lights (in different rooms). I put white paper behind mine too. I stare until I see another line. Crazy.

@Jessiemay2020 there's definitely hope for dpo 14/15/16/17 etc. Apparently most people are mid teens.

@Suki2020 internet cheapies but today I bought clear blue nothing. I've got FRERS delivered today too. So I'm literally swimming in bfns and tests 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Jessiemay2020 · 23/05/2020 21:37

It's horrible isn't it trying to find that line 😔 well ladies I'm out this month just started spotting 😔 had a good cry to my partner and he's really upset too. Hopefully it'll go quickly so we can start again. Please keep updating on here what happens over the week with you all. Really praying you guys get your bfp!! Xxx ❤️❤️❤️

Suki2020 · 23/05/2020 22:10

@jessiemay2020 sorry that af had arrived for you hun. Fingers crossed June will be your month xx

Kangaroo77 · 23/05/2020 22:35

Uhhhh @Jessiemay2020 I'm sorry to read this. Big hugs. A new cycle, a new month and in a couple weeks you will hopefully catch that egg. 🥳🤞🏻💓

Jessiemay2020 · 23/05/2020 23:14

Thank you ladies. Feeling a sense of relief now. No more thinking about it and after I eat my weight in chocolate over the next few days I'm going to start again xx

Morning ladies @Jessiemay2020 sorry about your BFN @Kangaroo77 is right a new month and anything is possible!

I've just done a test was a BFN so I'm just waiting for AF to show up today ☹️ roll on cycle 19!

Suki2020 · 24/05/2020 08:43

Morning ladies, sorry about your bfn this morning @MrsLa88. I’m still spotting slightly, but I think af is now on her way. It’s been such a weird cycle for me this month, I’ve never had ovulation cramps until this cycle, I’ve never felt so up and down as I have this last two weeks in the luteal phase before. My body is playing tricks with me this month big time. Maybe it’s where I was taking Angus castus I dunno. I’m going to start planning for the next cycle, just ordered more OPK’s 50 of them so that will keep me busy haha. Just hoping my next cycle isn’t as long as this one. How are you guys feeling this morning?

MrsLA88 · 24/05/2020 09:00

Ah @Suki2020 I'm sorry I think we're all pretty much out this month ☹️ I've heard about Angus cactus but I'm not sure what it does? Do you take any other vitamins?

I'm at a point where I'll try anything! I'd love to go for acupuncture but with the lock down I'm unsure when this will happen. I've had some chocolate and coffee for breakfast so feeling better 🤣

Suki2020 · 24/05/2020 09:12

@MrsLA88 I take Angus castus as I have really long cycles, so I’m trying to regulate them. I also take folic acid and vitamin D. Not sure if I should be taking anything else. I’m waiting for a scan up the hospital but that got put on hold due to the lockdown. I also use conceive plus lube to see if that helps, but only started it this cycle. What do you take?

MrsLA88 · 24/05/2020 09:19

Really similar to you I take 5mg of folic acid which is prescribed as I take other medications, vit D, omega acid and skin hair and nails as I read (god knows where) it can help with cell growth?! It's made my nails strong so I'd recommend it just for that 😂

We're waiting for my husband to be referred for testing as all of mine came back ok but again because of the lock down who knows when this will happen. I've bought some castor oil to do a wrap after my period as I've read this can help if there are any blockages, has anyone tried this?

Kangaroo77 · 24/05/2020 09:21

Morning ladies. Sorry to hear about the bfn, same for me (again) this am. I feel like af is coming although it's not meant to be here for a day or two. All slightly depressing. If I'm out this month I really need to regroup and minimise testing obsession next month. Several days of bfn and my bestie bringing her new baby boy home is making me feel desperate 😔.

Need to keep upbeat! How everyone is ok xxx

Jessiemay2020 · 24/05/2020 09:30

Morning ladies, aww I'm sorry you're not having a good time of it 😔
Keep the hope until AF actually comes! When I thought I was coming on last night, it was the tiniest bit of pink with discharge, we ended up dtd and there was another bit of pink after that (sorry tmi) I put a pad on because it wasn't anywhere near enough for a tampon. I've woken up and there's been nothing since I've woken up. Still getting the AF pains so I think it's just taking its time. It did give me a bit of hope this morning though I have to say 😩

OP posts:
Suki2020 · 24/05/2020 09:38

@MrsLA88 I’ve heard of castor oil, but need taking it. Were you tested up the hospital?
@Kangaroo77 sorry your feeling down hun, keep positive af hasn’t arrived yet so there is still hope.
@jessiemay2020 that sounds promising, are you going to test again?

Jessiemay2020 · 24/05/2020 09:48

@suki2020 I'll see how today goes and if there's no more or its like last night I'll test tomorrow. I don't feel very well either. Heads pounding and my glands are swollen in throat 😩

OP posts:
MrsLA88 · 24/05/2020 10:03

@Kangaroo77 I'm sorry ☹️ I feel the same need to just try and let things be next month instead of obsessing!

@Suki2020 yea I had an ultrasound and she said everything was fine I had just ovulated and my lining was a normal thickness so I'm like 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Jessiemay2020 sorry you're not feeling well hopefully if it is your period she hurries up.

Let's hope the sun cheers us up today! 🌞

Suki2020 · 24/05/2020 13:37

I’m out this month af has definitely arrived, strange though that it’s early and my temp has only dropped a bit and still above my cover line. Maybe it will drop properly tomorrow.

Jessiemay2020 · 24/05/2020 14:25

@suki2020 oh I'm sorry 😔😔 is it definitely AF? Arghh life isn't fair 😔

OP posts:
Suki2020 · 24/05/2020 14:38

@jessiemay2020 yeah it’s definitely AF. Had a cry, ate cake, now I’m going to just chill out let af do her thing and start planning next cycle. Been trying to do some research into what vitamins to take along side Angus castus and folic acid. Some people say vitamin b.

Jessiemay2020 · 24/05/2020 15:04

@suki2020 bless you, I'm sorry 😔 I have just been saying to my partner how cruel our bodies can be at time. Messing us around all the time like this 😔

Chlo2701 · 24/05/2020 15:11

Hey ladies my AF came today aswel, bang on time🤦‍♀️ so I've just ordered some Angus Castus & some Coq10 as heard that can help improve egg quality. I'm abit worried that the AC might mess up my cycle though as I'm so regular, 28day cycles & ovulate around CD16/17. Do any of you know how it may affect that? I'm also currently taking Folic Acid, VitD, VitC & cod liver oil tablets. Worrying now that I won't be able to take them all together🙈
