Got some Proxeed Plus for DH today, and some pre-seed (Used conceive plus last month, trying this one this month). Who knows whether that’ll help, but willing to try anything!

Anyone else’s DH on proxeed? It’s so expensive!

Thanks all xx

Congrats to those ladies with BFP

Long may it continue

Never ties pre seed - intrigued to know if this helped anyone

Tried

Hi ladies. I got my flashing opk smiley on Saturday, and we DTD Saturday night. Sunday morning I got my static smiley (which it says will stay on the screen for 2 days). We didn't DTD again last night. I'm wondering if it's too late to do it again tonight or is this too far into ovulation? (Not sure if that makes sense). Is there a chance from the flashing smiley on Saturday? Thanks

@Rumi1 we use pre seed and got pregnant the first month using it but ended in mc then last month period was all over the place and this month it hasn’t seemed to help as AF has just arrived ☹️

@LouJ85 I would dtd again today if you can. I’m never 100 % sure exactly when I ovulate even with a static smiley. And it stays on there for 48 hours so I take that as keep dtd.

Also curious about what vitamins you’re all taking? I’m taking iron, coq10, all the Bs (including folic acid), and fish oil.

Anyone taking anything extra?

I’m just taking pregnacare conception. Took folic acid alone for few months then changed to pregnacare start of my last cycle. It didn’t affect my cycle at all Like I’d heard with others

@Matilda19 Congrats that's amazing news :) xx

I've been spotting from cycle day 10 until day. That's two or three days. And I've a mild cramp. Don't really know what's going on but it's probably a hormone imbalance.

Bit down in the dumps about it. Got a phone appointment with my doc on friday. It's less and less as time goes on and it's only in the afternoon for some reason. Wondered if anyone else has had this or heard of it?

Not sure if I'm going to ovulate with this going on. And it's a shame too, my donor has been really sweet, contacting me a lot to see how I am. And he was looking forward to trying again. :)

Hey @LouJ85,

I'm in a similar position, had a flashing smiley CD8 (same as last month) but then a static on CD9. The CBOv Test instructions say the Peak fertility (static smiley) is shown when your LH Peak is detected.

"An LH surge happens about 24-36 hours before an egg is released from an ovary – ‘ovulation’. When your LH surge is detected Peak Fertility is displayed"

So technically, you could ovulate up to 36 hours after seeing the static. I've also heard (here mainly) that it's better to DTD before you ovulate as sperm can live for a couple of days.

We're following SMEP this month (DTD every other day until Peak then DTD 3 days in a row, day off, then once more for luck) so our 'timetable' has ended up being DTD every day CD8-11, day off today (phew! knackered! ;)) once more tomorrow. Then just for fun ;)

Hopefully your Saturday night DTD 'covered' you for yesterday but definitely worth trying to DTD tonight and even tomorrow if you can muster the energy.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time @Lynnysong. Hopefully your doctor can reassure/provide some answers. Good that your donor is being supportive.

@Matilda19 Congratulations!

@Lynnysong that’s annoying. Hopefully the doctor will help on Friday!!

Think we’re almost out of space on this thread 😱

Confusingly it's also called Thread 3, I'm really on form today

Haha thanks @Sleeeeeepy

I've had another go, try this one. Good job I don't work with numbers or anything like that.....

Help... Tested again this morning been feeling ill all day then tested again tonight and all positive then wiped and blood x

@Matilda19 see the new thread 🙂

How is everybody. Where you up to in cycle.
Im cd4 and AF easing off now.
I ovulated day 10 last month which shocked me I wasn't prepared . I will be this month

Hope everyone is good! I’m 8 dpo and symptom spotting left right and centre. Had really painful nipples since 2 dpo, sore boobs and shooting pains in my boobs. Felt really nauseous 2 days ago then settles but feeling so sick today. Hoping this isn’t just going to be my usual monthly progesterone symptoms!!
Had d21 bloods taken yesterday so will get results tomorrow or Monday
