Anyone missing just let me know your next testing date xx

[SmileyT]

Also @noble89 hope you are doing okay? Xx

[LV1987]

@SmileyT @notyetamumbuttrying so what do I do now?!?! I mean apart from bang OH senseless, just in case obvs 😂 Do I ramp up the testing now to more than once a day?

Last month I got my peak RHR about 2 days after my peak OPK @SmileyT, and it was preceeded by a couple of days down at 61bpm (which is where it is now) so all things are pointing towards at least gearing up to ovulate 🤞🤞🤞

[blodyn91]

@lv1987 attached mine, thats how quick mine went up. Everybody is different though. I had 20 OPKs and decided I would use them all 😆 I kept testing once a day till yesterday, all low.

[blodyn91]

@SmileyT @Juno231 a triphasic graph! yes! What we all want

[Juno231]

@smileyt @blodyn91 aah triphasic, hadn't really fully processed that possibility! let's see if it continues tomorrow then. Trying hard not to get excited in the meantime ha

[Vil10]

@Mococo1 isn't it hard when af symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are the same!! I know I need to stop being so negative and just wait to see if af arrives!

[Minster2012]

@Clolo 10 days in a row!! Wow! You are going for the 👑off @Notyetamumbuttrying was it or @2alreadywamtanother?? From @Lucyrp 🐰

6 hours in ikea @Skip86 urgh no thanks, but least you got loads though, I would be overwhelmed & prob just buy 1 plant & a hotdog 🌭have you sold the pigeons a new house as part of your development 🤔

@cocoblue22 urine definitely sterile that's what I told myself constantly when I weed on my hand instead of in the cup 😂but no, not great for chocolate I guess. Get some Tonys chocolate, amazing ethically produced chocolate, stupidly expensive (I buy stupidly expensive organic cotton clothes for eczema /allergy DS so I got it free) but the funny thing is on the inside wrapper it explains why the bar is in funny shaped pieces not squares...to explain the unequal way the profits are shared amongst the chocolate trade...then the biggest piece in its bar has its own Tony's logo on it. 🤔🤔🤔hmmmm @smileyT have you ever noticed that???

Hi @Suemay803 welcome! Take most things I say with a pinch of salt!! Welcome to super July 🥰

@juno231 sounds like your graph looks purttttyyyy 💕🌟to those that know what they are looking at 🤞🏻

@Mococo1 what, noooo, the boiler/gas men are meant to join in the steamy sex sessions. Oh wait. That's the porn. Don't count yourself out yet lovely, those sperm can live a long time in your tubes, just casually hanging around for a date 🤣

Right I've had my lunchtime sit down, off to be productive again 🦄

[Juno231]

Gah I have to vent. Was meant to go to a wedding in France this August but it got cancelled early June. As it got cancelled the couple decided they might as well try for a baby instead. Spoke to the would be groom today and apparently his fiancée is 5 weeks pregnant! So they literally got it first try grr. I'm happy for them but I know you know how this feels... It's hard not to internalise it as there being something wrong with me.

@Minster2012 thank you, I hope I've got some luck this time round!

[Newbie0818]

@Franklydear that's a good tip, thanks :)

@Juno231 what does triphasic mean? and totally get the frustration! So unfair how some can fall so easily and others try for years. Still early days, hopefully hers sticks

[Ltay2]

@Juno231 So irritating isn't it! 🙈 I have a friend that got pregnant first/second time too.


AF definitely on the way for me now, spotting more than yesterday and now been spotting for a few days so it's unlikely to be anything but bad news.

What vitamins/supplements do your OH's take, if any? My OH entertained the idea of him taking something to help when I last mentioned it, so long as I researched what to take and bought it for him (typical man 🙄) so think that would be a good thing to have for next cycle a long with my EPO.

Also contemplating trying CB Digital OPK as I've had such trouble identifying a peak with cheapies but they're so expensive in comparison 😫 any opinions on switching?

[Juno231]

@ltay2 mine just takes the wellman conception stuff. Sometimes I slip him the odd ubiquinol as it's good for them too but only when I'm not feeling cheap as those pills are pricey lol. Mind you he'd never buy it or take it himself, I have to physically hand him the pill daily.

@Newbie0818 so if you ovulate but don't conceive you should have a biphasic chart. I.e. there's a clear temp shift between your FP and LP. If you conceive, most women then have a third shift (i.e. triphasic) where the temps go even higher after implantation.

[Juno231]

by most I mean some! It doesn't even have to mean you're pregnant but is generally seen as a good sign. It normally starts at 7-10 dpo though so I doubt this is it!

[SmileyT]

@LV1987 bang and personally I'd stick to one a day until they get a bit darker but if you fancy Poas more go for one early afternoon and one in the evening 👌🏾

@Minster2012 I've got to say I've never really read the wrapper (too busy stuffing my face) and OH does all the shopping so he buys it for me sometimes ☺️ I did wonder about the pieces though as if I want a tiny bit it's impossible to break off a little bit so have to have loads 😂 X

@Juno231 I totally feel your frustration I kinda wish it just happened in order so it was fair but no such luck. It will happen for you and maybe this could be a pregnant friend for you to hang out with x

@Ltay2 My OH researched a load of stuff no idea what half of it is but seems to take nearly as much as me, obviously hasn't done the trick yet though 🙈

I cannot be bothered with work anymore 😴

[Franklydear]

@juno231 good for them, but... don't blame you, my faith is starting to quable too,but hopefully we'll get there
@Newbie0818. Been round the block a couple of times, and have quite a few friends with asd kids too, if they need some support, send them my way, happy to give a new perspective

Cd22 and my cramps are starting to subside, boobs getting worst but no nausea today, shoot me if I understand what's happening, but definitely not testing early as this looks like af

[LV1987]

Thanks @blodyn91! Mine did seem to jump up quite quickly last month (attached) so I think I'll start doing an evening one as well from today just to make sure I don't miss it! My peak wasn't that high last month, but I think if I had done another a couple of hours later, I would have had a better one!

[Ltay2]

@Juno231 @SmileyT Thank you! Think I'll go with the wellman conception ones seems like the easiest option to persuade him with 😂

[Vil10]

So this time last cycle I was having af cramps but not had any so far!! And for the last 2 days I've felt so tired and fatigued, almost falling asleep when I've been watching videos and clips for work! I never usually get this symptom pre af but I don't want to be getting my hopes up! And my sore boobs and nipples had disappeared this time last cycle but still here now😬

[Ltay2]

@Vil10 Sounds promising!! 😬

I have had 2 staff members announce they are pregnant this week, and another only a few weeks ago. I know 2 of them at least weren't even trying which it makes it all the more gutting 😫

[Amy00]

@Ltay2 my OH takes most of what I take - we are both rattling around with all the vitamins!!

I've been taking folic, iron, vit c, b12, b6, vit d, omega 3, zinc, agnus castus, evening primrose up to ovulation, seed cycling, 2 Brazil nuts a day, pineapple after ovulation.

OH is taking all the vits above except he's not having agnus castus, primrose, seeds or pineapple.

I feel like it's getting a bit much. Having a day off from seeds today after the BFN as they are a bit relentless!

I also had to tell my mum we are TTC as we went to see them last week to have a bbq when I was 6dpo and usually when we get together because they live 2 hours drive away, we stay over and there is copious amounts of wine and gin and we all generally have a bit of a party - but this time I was conscious of trying to be sensible so had to actually pull my glass away from being topped up which caused confusion and suspicion!!! So had to come clean that I am not pregnant...yet!

This morning obviously had to tell her that I'm not preggo this month... so there was actually no need to have been sensible 🙄 and now I feel like I have to let her down as well as me and OH being disappointed each month...

Sorry for rant! Also sorry I'm rubbish at replying individually to people! I read everyone's posts and you are all superstars 🌟

[Amy00]

Oh and also the ass juice.

[KateColx]

@Juno231 oh that's always difficult news to take 😔 It feels like as soon as you start trying everyone else around you gets pregnant super quickly! It'll soon be your turn ✨

@Ltay2 I've never used the cheap OPKs but I use the CB advanced digital one and I love it. It's so easy to indicate when your fertile days start and then also peak! I think I'm just too lazy to guess all of the lines etc haha. X

@Vil10 that sounds promising!! 🤞🏻🥰

[Newbie0818]

@Juno231 ah interesting! Mines all jagged so god knows what that means, though apparently it's quite common with pcos.

@Amy00 aww at least you might have some support from her now? But totally get the letting others down thing, I constantly feel that way. Been so tempted to tell people but just can't do it. Rant away, that's what this is here for :)

[Juno231]

@Newbie0818 I think yours is looking really positive though! Very clear Oday and nice high temps in the LP! I know I was trying to get you to test yday but can't remember what happened after - did you say you felt like AF was arriving?

[Ltay2]

@Amy00 Wow that is a lot! Thought I was rattling already 😂 I'm definitely trying evening primrose oil next cycle though. I am tempted to tell my mum but then OH would want to tell his mum and I selfishly wouldn't want that so I'm avoiding telling anybody. Only you lot know 🙊

@KateColx This is what I need I think! I never seem to get a peak with cheapies so that's why I like the idea of the smiley faces but I'm already spending approx £50 a month on supplements so do I really want the added expense? 😫 I'll no doubt go for it anyway! My attitude to anything in life seems to be if I throw some money at it it'll fix the problem, it's never worked for my weight loss so dunno why I seem to think it will for TTC 😂 although probably more of a chance 🤔

[Franklydear]

I am the queen of going off topic... Had a call from the headteacher to discuss ds returning to school, and besides the non sleeping, hardly doing any studying and all the dispair, she's telling me I am doing a good job in hard circumstances 😍
