Anyone missing just let me know your next testing date xx

@2020mission I think you should have tested in the evening of the 28th as I suspect that's when your peak was. Sounds like you're covered either way!

@2020mission bear in mind to follow the femometer instructions for pic taking btw - should be a white background if I recall correctly. Helps with the consistency of the readings.

@Vil10 8dpo so not far ahead of you. I'm similar just creamy cm and nothing else to report. (I never get sore boobs) also not feeling like this is my month. I was really impatient a couple of days ago but now I'm not even that bothered about testing because I feel like I already know the answer.

@2020mission I'd say the same as @juno321
Last month I didn't get a massive peak but similar to yours and I caught so I think you're covered really 😬

Anyone else taking raspberry tea!? I'm wondering it it will help prevent another mc

@lucyrp how's it going? Can't believe AF hasn't shown up for you yet ☹️ @minster2012 sorry to hear you're cramping- will having AF affect your ivf next month? Hoping you will be able to give it a go soon Xx

@Mococo1 that's reassuring, thanks!

@Juno231 ohh didn't see anything mentioning white backgrounds being best in the Femometer app 🤦‍♀️ the test strips aren't Femometer so maybe that's why I've missed it. Will do for future photos though, thanks for the heads up!

@Vil10 I am the same, 8DPO though, was feeling so positive a few days ago but now the anxiety starting to creep in and I have a feeling the BFP just isn't going to happen ☹️

@Mococo1 I don't know about raspberry tea but I read something the other day about B6 reducing the risk of miscarriage so that could be something to look into.

@2020mission from memory I think the app has a whole list of do's and dont's lol. A faff really but does seem to help mine! Even things like lighting and glare are covered.

@Mococo1 I read the opposite about raspberry tea and that having it in early pregnancy can cause miscarriage? I thought it was meant to be taken towards the end of the third trimester to help with labour but I guess those qualities isn't what you'd want when trying to keep a bean? So definitely double check just in case!

I'm 10dpo today, did a cheapie test again this morning and BFN, well aware these tests are less sensitive than a FRER but it satisfies my urge to poas at a fraction of the price! 😂 think I went through 4 FRERs last month which is not sustainable if this is going to be a long journey...🙈

Feeling like I'm out though because my boobs are less sore today. Like only feel tender if I poke the sides. That and I have a small amount of mild cramping today and yesterday.

I'm already planning the next month and month after - will give preseed a go next month, and if no luck then will consider using one of those soft cups... but to be honest those cups freak me out a little - what if it gets stuck and I can't reach to pull it out?! 😨

Also I was supposed to have bought a house this month but it's been held up by an issue out of our hands so still waiting! That was supposed to be my TTC distraction last month! Maybe this next month will be the month for a BFP and house purchase!! 🤞

I've been watching baby YouTube videos by Jessica Hover - she seems so lovely and real and her baby Wilson is the cutest 😍 Would totally recommend watching any of her videos (as long as you don't mind joining me in the crazy lady baby video club...)

@Katao I was feeling like this last month with these same symptoms and I got so excited then was gutted when I didn't get my BFP! That's exactly how I feel!! I don't feel like I'll be dying to test!

@Ltay2 I know exactly how you feel! Have you been symptom spotting yet??

Update, still mot very hopeful. 9dpo and had some orangey cm this morning along with a bad tummy ache sorry for tmi. I feel really rough today like af is still on her way. Roll on Wednesday, get me through guys x

10dpo here and BFN on an IC 🙄 was feeling very positive until about 7dpo and now I feel I'm out already 😕 will take a frer on Wednesday if AF doesn't arrive as I'm back at work after annual leave and a BFP would be a perfect excuse to avoid any covid patients aha

@amy00 I'm the same with planning something different to try each cycle. It's the only thing that helps me feel a teeny bit in control and not just leaving it to chance each time. Having seen the cups though they look like they have reaaaally long thinhamajigs to pull them out with so getting it stuck sounds unlikely!

I also feel you on the house bit - had everything gone to plane I reckon we would have completed the transaction by now but instead we're potentially losing out on the whole deal... would have been a great distraction!

@Madz123 I'm exactly the same - 10dpo this morning and bfn on IC. Also planning on using a FRER on weds and I'm also back to work this week after annual leave last week! I'm fortunate that I can wfh, you and all others that have been going out to work and especially in healthcare are all so strong 💪

Hey @Mococo1 ! How you doing! I drank raspberry leaf tea last time, unfortunately that ended in a missed miscarriage 😖Fir the IVF I just have to phone them on first day of AF & hope they have space 🤞🏻so it should make a difference we were just expecting next week & discussing with them that was the likely timing

@Vil10 I think I'm 6 or 7dpo today so same or close to you. I say think because my chilled out approach for this month meant no opk or temping 🤦🏻‍♀️
My cm is creamy/lotiony and has been for 2 or 3 days-not sure if it's relevant but don't think I had that last month.
AF due next Wed for me x

@Juno231 ahh no sorry to hear your house situation isn't going to plan! It's so frustrating isn't it! We had our offer accepted in Feb, currently renting, and the house we are buying is unoccupied (probate) so just knowing it is sat there empty when everything is all lined up is difficult! It has a massive garden as well which would have made lockdown feel so much better - I have visions of G&Ts in the garden with a book while OH cuts the grass (maybe shirtless)...

On the cups - do they have thingamajigs? When I've googled it just looks like a rim and some clingfilm 😂

@Amy00 oo it's nice to have a cycle buddy! Makes me more likely to wait until Wednesday to take a frer- so want to just take one right now aha! I wish I could work from home although I suppose the 13 hour shifts do slightly distract me from the TTC obsession- trying to think of the positives 😂

@Mococo1 I'm having a nightmare morning so much for having my lazy relaxing day before back to work. I've spent the last hour on the phone to British Gas trying to sort something out because back in February a different energy supplier took over my electric without my permission and I've had no communicstion from them at all I don't even know who it is ! But aside from that I'm CD51 still no AF still no BFP I am nothing!

@Juno231 @Mococo1 yeah that's what Ive heard about raspberry leaf tea too I drank it when I hit 37 weeks to induce labour with DS and he was born at 38+5 so I'm not too keen on the idea either although @blodyn91 I'm sure said she'd read it was good too until ovulation then as soon as you hit ovulation to stop ?!

@amy00 yeah our offer was accepted first week of March I think and is also an empty probate house! No big garden for us though lol.

Search for Ferti Lily Cup pics on google and they all seem to have long pulley thing :)

@lucyrp that's rubbish! Hate British Gas I have a whole list of complaints with them atm lol we haven't been very lucky

@lucyrp @minister2012 @katao @juno321 yeah as google says below it's good up until ovulation (helps with egg quality and figured at this point mine may be a bit rubbish) and then you have to completely stop during ovulation

I'm also taking the following as of yesterday's amazon delivery:

Extra Magnesium and B6, COQ10, VitD (which I take anyway) and Omega 3 fish oil 🤢 and then my usual pregnacare

I've convinced myself I have low progesterone or estrogen dominance..who knows at this point!

Sorry ladies it didn't upload- will be stopping this tomorrow and be starting this again next cycle as I'm not sure when I'm entering the fertile window! But LH is at like 23 atm so I expect soon x

@Mococo1 they're literally horrendous I've been trying to get in the shower to wash my hair all morning but I've either been on hold or waiting for a call back from them since like 10 o clock I'm finally taking the plunge to get in the shower and I bet I'll miss the call back 😂 I have a complaint on my account too lol they're trying to say I owe money which is being passed to a debt collection agency even tho I've paid the amount every month which is showing on their system! I don't owe them a penny 🙈😂 something to do with the payment plan not registering on their system even tho I have paid. Nightmare !

@Vil10 Been trying so hard to not symptom spot but it's impossible not to 😂 I've had the odd pink spot of blood the last few days, one dot of red blood today, started with mild cramping today so I feel now that AF is on the way! Looked back at my last cycle notes and I started cramping on this CD last time and then spotting from 2 days after so will just have to see how my spotting progresses I guess. I have some Zoom Baby early detection tests that are 10mlu sensitivity but don't want to test too early anyway. Will you test soon?
