Hope are you getting on @WellHurrahAndHuzzah?🥰

[Banbi]

Well boo. We're calling this CD1 unfortunately. I've never had spotting before AF before, despite how common it is - another change of pace gifted me by my post-MC body

Still, today and grapefruit juice tomorrow.

Any tips on best place to get cheapy OPKs?

And huge congrats @IWM20

[MichT4]

Ahh @banbi sorry AF got you. I’ll be joining you in a glass of wine tonight 🍷
Are you feeling ok?

I got mine from amazon, they were about £14 for 50 OPKs and 20 PG tests (I think). I thought that would last me a few months, but nope! Still good value I think though.

So ladies, here I am tonight, DTD, worrying the swimmers fell out after and stuffing cheeselets into my face. One of those days 😂

[PickleAF]

Hello! Brand new member here, just come across this forum when googling desperate for answers! Hopefully it’s okay for me to jump in and join everyone? I’ve been TTC for a while now, after coming off the pill in January this year (after five years on it!) and have recently discovered OPK testing and the new world of TTC

[VP91x]

@Banbi ah I'm sorry AF came 😩, definitely enjoy the wine and soon you'll be back in fertile week. I also use the femometer ones from amazon x

@MichT4 😂😂 why do you think they've fallen out? I'm lying on the floor next to a my terror toddlers bed waiting for her to go to sleep. Will be dtd later too, can't be bothered today though 😴 xx

[VP91x]

Welcome @PickleAF how are you getting on with all the tracking? 😊

[Banbi]

Thanks @MichT4

I'm ok. We hadn't "properly" been trying (plan was to start this next cycle) so my head was sure it wasn't real. But stupid irrational hope. Ta for the tip re OPKs

Sorry you've had a bizarre one. I think the most important thing is to have a sense of humour about this journey when we can... and drink the wine and eat the cheeselets when we need them.

[SmileyT]

@Renna hope pup is feeling better soon 😊

@VP91x sorry I may have missed this but what did your opk look like tonight? I'm all good just patiently waiting for fertile window, a girl at work told me she was pregnant today, she is 9 weeks and it was kinda hard to hear. She has been trying for about 2 years and she knows about the MC so was very kind but still felt jealous then felt awful for feeling that way 😩

Sorry AF arrived @Banbi but enjoy your wine, i was on the Gin and Grapefruit juice over the weekend 😂

@MichT4 I just googled cheeselets I thought it was some kind of ttc magic but instead they look like very yummy crisps... enjoy 😋

[MichT4]

@VP91x TMI warning (maybe) but today I was on top and it just felt like more leaked out. So then I had a panic they’d all gone 😂😂 such romance.

Yep @banbi, got to have our treats.
I survived well after my sisters scan pics but now I’m panicking she will choose the buggy I wanted (I hadn’t chosen one) or decorate the nursery how I’d have (haven’t done that). Is that irrational girls? Such silly things in the scheme of things but it’s bothering me

[MichT4]

I like your style @SmileyT - mix the gin with CM juice! Two birds with one stone!

😂😂😂 re the cheeselets. While 95% of what I consume is probably with TTC in mind, yes these are just yummy crisps. They will not make your lining thicker but they might just comfort you 😂

[PickleAF]

Hello! @VP91x Sadly OPK have all been negative! Only discovered them this cycle and got a bit obsessive (6 a day 😭) haven’t had any positives yet x

[peonyrose87]

@IWM20 congratulations!!

[VP91x]

@SmileyT this was the one from a little bit earlier. Ah shit, that's not ideal. Yeah its hard to balance those feelings. I hope you are okay though? Have a nice dinner🥰

Haha made me laugh about the cheeselets. If they some sort of TTC magic I'd be ordering right now.

@MichT4 🤣 I'm sure the non dopey ones as @SmileyT said before will have made it to where they need to be. No getting on top for me whilst TTC, doggy or him on top. I'm so lazy, haha🤷

@PickleAF are you holding enough between tests? X

[MichT4]

@VP91x that is not reassuring me 😂😂
Not to worry, I asked trusty google 🤓 and apparently it’s fine to do. Although we have already decided that tomorrow is missionary 😂
Plus, I’d be quite concerned if they all fell out, they’d have needed to be more than dopey 🤪

[PickleAF]

@VP91x
I’m really not sure! I was doing them between 10am and 12am so probably every 2.5 hours - I think I will just have to do less next month. Followed all the instructions about leaving it to room temp etc but then started googling and worrying about missing it. Will try and be more relaxed next month x

[IWM20]

Thank you so much for your love and we'll wishes everyone 💕

@wellhurrahandhuzzah I think I should be due around the 25th Feb 😊. I'm also going to be sticking around on here, one because it's the most supportive thread I've ever come across but also it just doesn't feel real yet! Xx

[VP91x]

@MichT4 haha oh no I didn't mean it to not reassure me. It's just we end up doing it so much that it just works out that way 😂

Haha, that made me laugh.

@PickleAF I normally do them every four hours or so. 10-2-6-10 and I only have one drink after each test. I'm forever dehydrated in the run up to ovulation 😂

[Wishingfornumber2]

@IWM20 congratulations!!

@Jazper just catching up with the thread and saw you said about the CB opk lines. I have asked this before too but they don’t work as the normal lines. I think I read that the left hand one nearest the arrow is in relation to LH but could be wrong. I have been taking some photos of mine this month to compare. I haven’t had a peak but the left line has been getting darker. But again don’t really know what it means! Have attached photo of negative one at the start of testing and the one I had today. X

[Wishingfornumber2]

Also @Jazper forgot to say I have got my DH on the Pom juice now 🤣

[HE88]

Hi ladies how are we all today?

Congratulations to those that got bfps today xx

Sorry to those that af came xx

Welcome to those of you that are new, sorry for your losses xx

So I have a melt down on Monday and adamant that I was giving up on ttc but I've had a couple of days to think it through and I'm not ready yet. Af is due in a day or so and going to try a more relaxed approach. I'm not going to use opks I think they maybe adding stress without realising it. I'm still going to carry on with my supplements pre conception vitamin, omega 3 with added evening primrose and calc fluor. Are there any supplements anyone those of that helps with thickening your uterine lining I don't know for definite that my lining is thin but my periods are always super light so thought maybe helping to thicken it a bit more would help.

[WellHurrahAndHuzzah]

@VP91x I'm doing well thanks!! No real symptoms aside from fatigue. Trying to keep exercising and eating healthily. Got my booking appointment with the midwife booked in in a few weeks, eeeek!

[WellHurrahAndHuzzah]

@IWM20 it still doesn't feel real to me either!!! After a MMC last time, I don't think it will until the 12 week scan to be honest...

[Bellabubble]

@Banbi I have been exactly the same! Since mc I have started my cycles with spotting - except this month! This is my 4th cycle - although af is due fri-sun as I range from 27-29day cycles - so there is time for spotting to show!

@VP91x Thank you! I’m considering getting an early detection test on prime for the weekend in case I cave - given that af could appear over the course of 3 days (damn her!!) I just had to put Bella’s ear drops in and she looked horrified, like she couldn’t understand what was happening and was just wanting it to end! Felt like a mean fur baby mummy lol!

[VP91x]

@WellHurrahAndHuzzah I'm glad you're feeling well, yay for your booking. Will it be in person or oger the phome? Are you having a private scan done before your 12w?

@HE88 I'm glad you are feeling better. Yeah, just dtd every other day throughout your cycle and hopefully you will feel less stressed. Not sure about supplements for thickening lining but POM juice is meant to help with that apparently it makes a big difference! X

[Bellabubble]

@VP91x also - I’m considering starting the POM juice - is that one the best because its 100% pomegranate? How much do you drink a day? I was wondering whether it would be cheaper to buy the feuit and blend it 😂 the thingns we do on the trc journey! I’m not sure I can manage grapefruit juice yet!! xx
