@Kaybobx there was even a Maca Root for fertility (its not available in UK probably because there isn't enough research to prove it works) but my goodnes just look at these reviews and this maca was on 500mg we on 4000mg goodness I hope this helps.

@candycrush2298 haha he was like, who are you and what have you done with my wife 🙈 although he's just gone to bed now, he was up at 5am for work so he will be out like a light by the time i go up tonight.
My little girl has been an arsehole today, i need a chill out on my own lol. Terrible 2's is 100% a thing!

Oh my god i can't believe all im reading about this macca root! How long have you been taking it? As if i brought it for libido and it actually does more!! Id never heard of it before until you said. Thanks so much for telling me about it. Fingers crossed it works its magic on us!! I'll attach a pic of the one ive got. Do you think 4000mg is too much?? Sounds alot doesnt it.

Sorry didn't mean to double post! Said it didn't post the first time lol

candycrush2298 · 04/07/2020 21:00

@Kaybobx this is the one I got. Looks very similar. Sure they do the same thing especially since we both got max strength haha.

Oh shame poor hubby no wonder he is out like a light. Whaahahaha has your little monster at least gone to bed??? I have seen my kids friend at 2 and she is a little monster whahaha.

I know oh my goodness so I literally just googled natural remedies for stress and moods because I know i am high alert TTC which isnt helping. The things I read showed it helped with motility and fertility of sperm and increases female libido and then I got distracted and never thought of it again until you said you needed to increase your libido. So thank you for reminding me of it. I literally started the same day as you mine arrived the same day. Therefore we in this maca journey together haha.

ReginaaPhalange · 04/07/2020 21:08

@candycrush2298 BD last night and will do it again tomorrow morning :) hubby likes Sunday morning sex... lol!!

candycrush2298 · 04/07/2020 21:13

@Kaybobx as for if we taking too much no I honestly don't think so it dont think it can do anything bad to you. It's just a plant haha. Now for anyone who is having trouble to have a normal cycle I have read about this Vitex Agnus Castus
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019T6PN02/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HhoaFb76JJT1Z?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Which is used to help with PMS symptoms and moods i found this on my search for natural mood stabilisers the reason I chose maca root instead was because it is to regulate long or irregular periods. It is also to be used only like clomid (people are calling this the natural Clomid) when TTC so only from the day your AF ends for like 5 days it brings on ovulation quickly and since I need to regulate my moods particularly after ovulation and before AF it wouldn't work for what I needed it too.

But the YouTube videos on this guys. It might be my next craze in the coming months hahah.

candycrush2298 · 04/07/2020 21:13

@ReginaaPhalange definitely sounds like a plan especially if he likes his morning bd hahahahaha

Elakiya · 04/07/2020 21:25

@snapple21 the app is called Femometer.

Didn’t know about the Maca root will give it ago next cycle

Update: my peak stayed as a peak when I tested it at 14.00 and then when I tested at 19:00 it was still strong but not as strong as the earlier 2 tests

Kaybobx · 04/07/2020 21:26

@candycrush2298 always go for the max strength me hahaha! Just like my choice in wine 🤣🤣 i think by next month the macca will be in our system to hopefully work.

Yes shes in bed thank god! She goes at 7pm and wakes up at 7am so can't complain really. Today its literally been screaming for no reason! Do you want some strawberries? No! Ok, got myself some strawberries.. then whaaaaaaaaa i want strawberries!!! Whattt you told me no! 🙈 i picked some shoes up off the floor to put on the shoe rack whaaaaaaa i dont want to go out, stay at home. Dude im just cleaning chill out 🤣 shes been a pain today! But yeah still trying hard for another hahaha!!!!

@ReginaaPhalange woohoo! You're nearly there!! Get BDing.
Weekend morning sex is the best. Although thats a distant memory for me as we have a toddler in the bed waking us up 😂

ReginaaPhalange · 04/07/2020 21:30

I'm just worried because I have PCOS that the OPKs aren't reliable if that makes sense? I just hope it's a solid face tomorrow or at least still smiling as I don't want it to go back to a blank circle. I done a cheap OPK and that had virtually no line

candycrush2298 · 04/07/2020 22:41

@Elakiya have you been able to BD since the peak???

@Kaybobx lol me too if you going to do something do it maximum whahahah!! Oh wow she sounds like a dream to sleep through the night. Hahahahaha thats just kids though i am pretty certain I was just as annoying as a kid so mine are 100% going to be spawn of Satan and yet here I am trying to create one hahahahah.

@ReginaaPhalange I saw on this Dr Feritility website (after Kaybobx shared her delivery) that they have trying to conceive vitamins specifically for PCOS (I guess an alternative to Pregnacare/Seven Seas) I am not sure how it is living with PCOS but I think high OPK is high you know.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 04/07/2020 22:48

@ReginaaPhalange I'm not sure how the OPKS work with PCOS, do you have EWCM? I think that would be your best indicator as dont quote me but i read somewhere that OPKs aren't as reliable with PCOS. Is your GP giving you anything to help?
As @candycrush2298 said Dr Fertility is a great site and sells all sorts of stuff. Check it out.
Haha yeah my child is definitely the spawn of satan but she gets it from me tbf hahaha

ReginaaPhalange · 05/07/2020 00:48

@Kaybobx @candycrush2298 nope. Nothing from GP as first month ttc. Would only intervene if unsuccessful after 12 months. I had EWCM this afternoon and a few twinges which is usually an indicator for me

candycrush2298 · 05/07/2020 00:56

@Kaybobx it looks really great seems like some fab vitamins and things there. Really hoping the conceive plus works for you xx

@ReginaaPhalange oh right well if you having ewcm and twinges so if that's your norm best hop on the BD wagon for sure never miss an opportunity lol!!

JLM1008 · 05/07/2020 07:58

Hey guys hope you’re all ok? I’m getting ewcm today - period is due in about 4 days. Not sure if that means anything or nothing 😂
I also caved and did a clear blue early test thIs morning - I could swear it had a super faint line but not sure if it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me. When I took a picture I couldn’t see anything. I might try again tomorrow morning. I’m feeling so pregnant so I know I’ll be super disappointed if AF shows up next week 😳

Kaybobx · 05/07/2020 08:20

@JLM1008 Hey! Ooooh how exciting. Clear blue tests require alot more HCG to pick up a positive. Get to the shop and buy a red die test like a first response. Crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏼

JLM1008 · 05/07/2020 08:31

Thanks @Kaybobx I think it was a 10mlu sensitivity. I really hope it’s not my eyes playing tricks on me! I’ll pick up a first response today and test tomorrow morning with my first wee of the day 😂

candycrush2298 · 05/07/2020 08:32

@JLM1008 oooooh this is soo exciting!!! Holding thumbs for you. CB need high HCG like Kaybobx said so I would also say go get a first response or any other red dye test I have heard Superdrug are really good at picking up early but have never used it myself. Really really excited for you please let us know how you get on.

Kaybobx · 05/07/2020 10:01

Oh godddd girls. So yesterday my OPK was light and i wouldn't even say high. I didn't use my CB as i only have 4 strips left so thought id save them until im near. This morning i did a strip and CB, i got my peak!! Whatttt!! How has it gone from faint to a blazing red line and a solid smiley?!
I of course BD right away and I'm sat now with the cup in 😂. I didn't even get a practice run with it haha!! Its quite comfy actually.

So as you know my libido has been totally off and i only had sex the night before last for the first time in 3 weeks!! Do you think I'm still in with a chance or should i have done more before my peak? My app says i don't ovulate until Friday so ive not thought to start BDing yet. Ahhhhhh

ReginaaPhalange · 05/07/2020 10:02

@JLM1008 fingers crossed for you :)

Still a flashing smiley today. Should I hold off and do another test this afternoon in case I get my peak or should I DTD this morning and hope if j get my peak that they're swimmers there haha then do it again tomorrow?
