Hey lovelies! Let's hope this cycle is as good luck!!!

So Cd1 for me I guess😩 here we go again, anyone trying anything different?

If I've missed anyone please add!!

@Chlo2701 @Gemster19 @Spinksy9 @Suki2020

@Suki2020 I'm having a bloody nightmare this month🤦‍♀️ so yes I started taking Agnus Castus & Coq10 together last month.
But stopped AC on ovulation but took Coq10 the whole way through without a break BUT here is my nightmare......
I'm a 28day cycle, & ovulate CD16/17 but last month AF came CD25🙄 & now this month on my Clearblue ovulation digital I'm CD19 & still getting flashy & not ovulated yet!
I'm thinking the Agnus Castus has completely messed my cycles! & I've ran out of CB strips this morning so I'm not going to know when I ovulate.
I stopped taking AC on Friday & I don't think I'm going to bother with it now as I think it's that that's messed everything up! X

@Chlo2701 oh no! Agnus castus has shortened my cycle a lot. I was have 70+day cycles I’m now down to 41days. I’ve been taking it for 3months. Do you think it’s the two together that are messing up your cycles? It’s so hard this baby making isn’t it

@Suki2020 honestly love I have no idea. I only started taking the AC because I read that it might help with getting pregnant, didn't realise it shortened your cycles. I don't want my cycles shortened because otherwise my LP is crap. But it's supposed to help with PMT & I suffer with that so thought I'd give it a go. I've decided that I'd benefit more from the Coq10 as that helps egg quality & because I'm 35 that's more important. So no more AC for me. Let's see if I get AF at CD25 again this month😣

That's very confusing @@Chlo2701
Your LP maybe longer this cycle if you will ovulate later than normal.
It's so hard to judge what to take and what not. I read up about so many thing but worry, like you that it may messy the cycle up.
Fingers crossed you get a static soon

@Blossom428 I have no idea when I'll ovulate now as used my last stick today😣 this is the longest I've had a flashy smiley for though as today was day 4 of flashing & ive only ever got 3 before & then I get my peak.
So I'm wondering because my cycle was only 25 days last month, I think I may have ovulated earlier & maybe missed it🤷‍♀️
Oh well there's no way of knowing now. CD19 today so will just have to wait for AF.
How have you been getting on anyway?

@Chlo2701 hey, sorry you are having such a confusing cycle, it's so upsetting when TTC is made harder by things like that! I've had months where I have had loads of flashing smileys and months where I have had only two! Do you temp? I can't remember if you said xx

That's frustrating @Chlo2701
You never know you could have DTD at a time when you ovulated. I guess maybe just continue and do the DTD when you feel like it for the rest of the month and not put too much pressure on yourself.
Then next month hopefully things will go back to normality.
I'm all good thank you- nothing really to report 5dpo today.

@Chlo2701 sorry I didn’t reply yesterday. My period was really heavy for me and makes me feel ill. Not sure what’s going on this time as I normally only get 2days of a medium bleed and then I’m very light but this time very heavy. maybe your right about stop the AC and just take the others and see what happens. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will happen for you this cycle though.

@AnxiousAnnie86 no I don't temp, it wouldn't work for me as my sleep is so up & down. Have you finished your AF now?
@Blossom428 we DTD Sat night & yesterday morning so if I ovulate today then 🤞🏻 I'm covered. Will probably DTD again tonight. Was not in the mood last night as felt really grumpy🙈
If you're 5DPO then time to start symptom spotting soon🙉
@Suki2020 sorry you're suffering this month with AF, you have my sympathy as I really suffered last month with mine😣 x

@Chlo2701 yeah finished now, CD8 had my first acupuncture this morning, temping is so consuming I found, the timing it doing the same time everyday, scrutinising every temp. Drove me mad, don't think about it now with the Ava it just automatically records it on the app x

Yepp implantation can happen any day from 6p
Dpo can't it. But usually around 8/9. @Chlo2701

@AnxiousAnnie86 how was your first acupuncture appt? Do they do it all over your body or a particular area for fertility?
Yeah that is really good about the Ava bracelet.
I do tend to wake up at the same time everyday so I'm doing okay temping far.

@Blossom428 yeah implantation anytime from 6-12DPO but they say the most common time is 8/9DPO.
Ooooh yes @AnxiousAnnie86 tell us about the acupuncture? X

My boobs started throbbing last night & just felt out of sorts yesterday so think ovulation might happen today or maybe I just won't ovulate this month🤷‍♀️

@Chlo2701 yeah my boobs go sore right after ovulation, so maybe it's happened and the OPKs hadn't picked it up.

@Blossom428 @Chlo2701 sorry for late reply, acupuncture was really postive, she's going to focus on regulating my cycles so I hope that can happen! Also working on anxiety and stress and she thinks that's a big cause of why we haven't conceived yet....

How you ladies getting on x

That's okay @AnxiousAnnie86 I guess part of reducing stress and anxiety is taking time off things like all the apps. I have about 5 on the go and keep looking at different threads 😂🙈 although this month I have been a lot more relaxed and just thought it is what it is.

I'm 7dpo today. Still no real symptoms which is strange as last month a week before AF I was cramping, felt sick and shattered. AF arrived 9dpo last month so I'm not sure if will be the same or not, hopefully it's a bit longer for implantation if anything's happening down there. But this weekend I may potentially test if there's nothing coming up.

@Blossom428 I just don't know what else I can do to be honest, just kind of trying to go with the flow....

Did you manage to confirm ovulation then I know you were struggling with it! X

Glad you've had your first acupuncture session now @AnxiousAnnie86 let's hope it works!😃
Nothing to report my end, I have no idea if & when i ovulated🙄 all I can tell you is my boobs have been really throbbing on & off since Sunday x

@AnxiousAnnie86 well seems like you are doing all you can. Hopefully have a few more relaxed cycles might do the trick, and we see a BPF v soon!!

My BBT raised last Thursday. So I'm going by Wednesday I ovulated. See what happens from now

My bbt has slightly dropped again which it did last cycle 8dpo, followed by spotting later in the day. So I'm thinking it's heading towards AF 😩

If so I think I will look at taking something that May increase my LP as it is very short only 8/9 days.

@Blossom428 that is short! How long are your cycles? I've seen lots of people on here talking about things for extending LP, was it a big drop? 9dpo spotting and temp dip could be implantation? X

Yeahh I've just been reading up on a short LP thread and there's a few things people take. I just worry as I wouldn't want it to mess up my cycle in terms of make it really long.
Last cycle was 26days.
I'm currently on cd21 so I'm hoping AF doesn't come tomorrow (9dpo) as that would only be 22day cycle.
I guess my body still maybe regulating after coming off the pill in April.
How are you getting on @AnxiousAnnie86 & @Chlo2701

@Blossom428 it has taken my body a year a mc thrown in my cycles still aren regular :( I'm Cd11 today, so think I will start testing with clear blue digital tomorrow, ovulation isn't forecast till Cd20 but with taking soy and having acupuncture it may come forward and don't want to miss it x

@Blossom428 your spotting & dip in temp could be a sign of implantation, @AnxiousAnnie86 has a very good point there.
I'm CD22 here, boobs still achey & nipple area abit sore. Literally these last 10mins I'm getting really sharp pains like electric shocky, pains that are lasting a few seconds, they're coming & going & it's stopping me in my tracks!! It's definitely not ovulation pains as I know what they are!
It's wishful thinking but I'd love it if I ovulated early this month & it was implantation pains🤞🏻 one can hope lol!
@Blossom428 I really hope AF doesn't show tomorrow, will you test this wknd if she's a no show?
@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm really hoping the soy & acupuncture together brings ovulation forward a few days for you! How many CB strips have you got? X

That's very strange @Chlo2701 wonder what those pains were. Have they gone now? Our body makes our mind go bonkers haha 🙈 how long are your cycles normally, sorry I've forgotten what you previously said.

Yes hopefully implantation- we shall see what happens tomorrow with my temp and if AF shows. I do just feel very weird this cycle as I've hardly had any symptoms compared to my usual really bloating feeling before AF.

Yeah I may test Saturday morning @AnxiousAnnie86 I know still very early as only 10dpo. But I've got loads of IC's haha. If I go to the shops I may get a FRER as I've heard the clear blue early detect aren't as good.
