@IWM20 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss lovely 😔 It's never easy, take it easy this week xx

@Lynz2020 welcome to the group, sorry to hear about your journey, it doesn't sound easy at all, but you're in the right place, it's a great group xx

@SmileyT I'm going to the hairdressers tomorrow too! I CANNOT WAIT! My long hair is quite the mane now!!

@SmileyT eeeeeek so excited and happy for you!! Sorry I didn’t message earlier! I woke up late this morn (I have been super tired recently) so didn’t get time to read the thread! But I did think of you lol!! Wishing you a happy healthy 9mths that speeds by!! Did you take your coQ10 during your tww’s? I have stopped mine as I didn’t know if it was ok too? I’m still doing the calc fluor and pom juice though 👍🏻 xx

@Jazper we were lucky the first time and fell literally first try - but now not so much! Although I know 5mths isn’t long in ttc terms - my age is a factor! Oh is younger than me though which apparently balances out - so maybe that is the same for you and your oh? xx

@IWM20 I’m so sorry to see you here again - take your time and be kind to yourself xx

@2020wish I’m no expert but I’d say that 80% could be your peak. Was your wee diluted in the one after? Or not held?
DTD tonight If you can, you’ll be covered if it was the peak OPK yesterday or today xx

Possibly @Bellabubble , I haven't heard that. I'm a terribly obsessive serial 'Googler' and actually read that a substantial age gap can hinder conception. I'm not suggesting your age gap is substantial but ours is. Equally though, I'm sure the fact that I am young(ish) will make conceiving a little easier than if we were both pushing 50...
As you conceived so quickly the first time, could it be that your body is still settling and regulating post mc? I'm beginning to think mine is as I'm on cd 31 now and pre mc my cycles were 29 days. Last cycle was 31 days, and the first two were 5 weeks.

@MichT4 thanks. I usually hit like 114% for peak so just found it odd. No I held in between the four hours after the 80%. But gonna try again I’m another 4 hours. Maybe it is my peak as I got all the ovulation pains and bloating. I DTD this morning so hoping I’ve covered myself: I’ve done it every two days from fertile week started so 3 times this week. And well dtd again tomorrow. That should cover me? Feel like I should of did it yesterday also lol

@2020wish I think you have covered yourself, especially with a bonus one tomorrow. Don’t worry about yesterday, you’ve DTD every other day and that’s perfectly fine

Hi everyone, whilst I’m in a bit of a wait until hcg levels hopefully reach 0 I was thinking of starting some different supplements and things to promote fertility (I need to do something proactive going crazy over here 🤪). Currently I take folic acid with b12 and a separate vitamin D. Are there any supplements that you recommend or heard that are good at boosting fertility? I know my cycles aren’t back yet but might as well prepare x

@2020wish I think you have definitely covered yourself don’t worry about yesterday! X

@IWM20 be kind to yourself and do what's best for you, if that means having a bit of time out of ttc then definitely do that ❤️

@2020wish I'm the same as @VP91x probably go through a couple of litres of Pom a week. And I definitely be taking today as peak and tomorrow as ov day x

@VP91x I'm now in a food coma and ready for bed but just what I needed... how was B&L? Really made me laugh, Bella not recognising you comment 😂

@MrsK21 @Northernsoul90 I think bite size is the only way to keep me sane and you ladies when you get your BFPs x

@fafi I have the opposite problem I've had to take my extensions out and I'm so desperate to get them back in 💁🏾‍♀️

@Bellabubble ahh thanks so much, I feel so overwhelmed with how nice everyone is being... I dont think I'll even get this many congrats in real life 😂 do you know why you are so tired? Change in weather always gets me... and yeah I did take coq10 in TWW but will stop now, I read there is no evidence it does any harm but not enough evidence for them to promote it. Fingers crossed all the calc flour pays off 🤞

Hi ladies just catching up on the chat.

@SmileyT massive congratulations on your bfp I'm delighted for you 😊 wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months. Xx

@IWM20 I'm so sorry you are going through another loss please take care of yourself and rest up. Xx

@Lynz2020 welcome to the group and sorry to hear about your loss. Its frustrating when ttc again after a loss and it doesn't happen when you want it to. I was the exact same but I'm now 5 cycles in after my mmc I just keep telling myself it will happen when it happens. Xx

@Renna just saw that you started using opks but didn't get your peak maybe you did ovulate early keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

@HE88 aw thanks hun xx
Had a down day had some tears . Just come to terms with no peak this month got me down
Just feel like I expected to get pregnant again by now.
Yeah I started opks CD12 even though I want going to do then this month... and no CD20 and no peak ... I mean it's a possibility I got peak before CD12 but unlikely ... not sure its possible to ovulate before CD12. CD12 is earliest I've had a pesk since I've been tracking
How are you xx

@northernsoul90 I also take a vegan omega supplement on top of my prenatal multivitamin. I take vitamin d when I've not been outside much and calcium if I suspect I've been a bit low the day before! I guess it depends on your diet really! I'm vegan so this is the combo I've settled on x

@renna I've conceived twice without ever coming close to a positive OPK! I'd given up on them completely but has some left so used them this month and it's the first time I've ever got a peak. So hoping we've conceived a sticky one this time. But what I'm trying to say is - don't give up hope yet 🤞🏼 xx

@IWM20 I'm just so sorry that you're losing another pregnancy. I remember not believing this could be happening to me, it's so unfair, I'm sorry.

@Lynz2020 sorry you find yourself hear. My second pregnancy loss was almost exactly the same time and I've been trying again ever since too. I'm 40 next month so massively feeling the age pressure too x

@Northernsoul90 thanks lovely, we will get through this 💪🏽
In terms of supplements:
I'm taking pregnacare conception (took this before I got pregnancy first time round so it seems to do the trick so I am sticking with it) and now added 200mg daily of CoQ10 after doing some online research. OH is taking men's version of the pregnacare conception and the same CoQ10. X

@Renna sending you a big hug. I totally get what you mean about hoping you would be pregnant again by now but we will both be soon enough 😊.
I'm good I'm in my tww (well I think I am anyway) no idea how many dpo I am as I've not tracked but I'm on cycle day 20. Xx

Thank you both @fafi @MrsK21 I used to take a multivitamin but they were giving me headaches so switched to individual vitamins. I may add in coQ10 where did you get yours from? They have it on amazon I might order from there. I was debating on Calc Fluor as well but I’m not sure 🤔

@Renna Sorry that you have had a down day today. It can be so hard at times. Sending virtual hugs xx

@Northernsoul90 I got mine from amazon I'll pop the link below. CoQ10 is quite expensive but I found one which has more capsules in the pack and is reasonably priced too. I'm taking 2 of these per day. I've bought some Calc Fluor too in preparation for the TWW when it comes.

A to Z Pure Health CoQ10 100mg | Co Enzyme Q10 60 Capsules (2 Months’ Supply) | Support for Cardiovascular Health & Immune System | Made in The UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B086WMYRZP/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_4NJbFbGYHVGXE

@SmileyT B&L was soooo good. Had lots of prosecco and yummy lobster. Was lovely to be out having dinner. Home now feeling very tired.

How was your nandos? Bet you'll sleep well tonight.

Going to catch up with the thread properly as I've been not been on as much today, hope everyone is okay 🥰🥰

@Renna it's so frustrating isn't it. But like @fafi I too have conceived twice without getting any kind of peak opk. In fact I've never had a peak .. the one time I thought I'd finally got a peak opk turned out to be pregnant and it was hcg. So since that I've just used them as a rough guide and even if they get slightly darker I just assume that means ovulation is close by. I'm sure that was the case for you.. hope time goes quickly until you can test, and praying you get a lovely surprise when you do! ❤

Thank you @MrsK21 ! I will get some. Sorry for all the questions but would the calc fluor only be taken during the tww and not throughout your cycle? Does it support implantation? Xx

Hi everyone, just read through some of people's comments and so sorry for all your losses.
I had mmc about 6 weeks ago, worst moment of my life. Nothing will ever replace my baby bean, but I am now ttc, I've had the first period 2 weeks ago and now I'm back on the folic acid an healthy eating, even keeping away from foods you shouldn't eat when pregnant, just to be safe.
I've always wanted a baby but until I lost mine, I never realised how much. I am determined.
Lovely to see good hopeful stories 😊😊

@Northernsoul90 no worries. Yes to Calc fluor during the TWW to support implantation. I think most of the ladies here are taking 4 of them per day (2 in the morning and 2 in evening) in the TWW. You can take them throughout the cycle as they're good for other things too like cavities apparently. My only concerns are fertility related right now rather than dental 😂 so I'm just going to stick to the TWW for these when it rolls around

@KatB259 so sorry you've found yourself here. I know exactly how you feel, I never knew how much I wanted a baby until I had my mc, now it feels I'll do anything to fill that hole in my heart. Are you TTC #1 or do you have any other kids? It'll be #1 for me x
