Update from me CD20, 3DPO (I think) 🥰.. Nothing going on at the moment, will wait impatiently for the next week xx

@Hayleylou89 omg what a gorgeous video! I have not filmed / documented anything! Maybe I will now xx

@2020wish I am so glad you had a positive appointment with your doctor, I think I might consider taking asprin too, just feel a bit nervous about it for some reason!

I currently take pregnacare, vegan omega and calcium +vit D - I am vegan hence the omega and calcium with my vit D, though I track my food most days on my fitness pal and I usually hit most of my calcium requirements but it's hard when you have an off day (but I guess that's the same for everyone)

@fafi do you take extra vit D? I take pregnacare and it has 800iu of Vit D so I thought best not take more as it could be too much?

@MichT4 the dose I used to take in a single vitamin D tablet was much higher - though I was deficient. But you're right! I can't really remember what my reasoning was when I decided to take the extra. I'm about to run out so might just replace with calcium alone. I take the calcium with a different meal to pregnacare as I think there is something to do with taking iron and calcium together that should be avoided.

I'll jump on the supplement sharing too.

I'm taking: pregnacare conception, CoQ10 200mg, vit d (vitabiotics one - it's high strength but I'm deficient).
Also trying to lose weight (I'm petite but put on about 6kg during the whole lockdown/miscarriage/feeling sorry for myself saga) so have cut out all junk, excess sugar and general crap I started eating. Restarted on my fitness and aiming to workout 4-5 times a week (currently easier said than done).

Oh and remembering to DTD on top of everything 🤣

Hoping my tests say everything's in good working order and I can be less strict with everything and relax about TTC a bit xxx

@SmileyT glad you had a fab sleep! Ah yeah definitely give them a ring if they don't get in touch soon to get your booking appt in the diary. So exciting! What date is your private scan? Well, I was planning a day at home, but Bella begged and begged to go to the wildlife park again, we are definitely getting our moneys worth out of that membership 🙈. Yeah I start on 3rd August, imagine if I get a BFP before I've even started 😂. How has work been today?

@MichT4 Oooh, look at that strong OPK!! I honestly think our bodies sometimes just ovulate super quickly post miscarriage to like get back to normal ASAP and that's how women fall again quickly. I really hope this is the case for you ❤️

@Northernsoul90 haha only because I have used like 1000 sticks. 😭 I love those memes 😂😂 need to have a look at that thread

@Hayleylou89 oh Hayley!! That video made me cry, it's so gorgeous. So so happy for you. Your little boy looks all lovely and growing happily in there 🥰🥰

@Lollol86 I'm really sorry this happened to you too! I got a letter for my scans too and then I got a phonecall asking why I didn't attend them! The lady on the phone was so apologetic when I told her I had miscarried. They really should have a better system I think it happens quite alot!!

@MrsK21 @MichT4 no nothing today and no UTI symptoms all gone. I only had like the initial discomfort/dull ache you start to get with one, but nothing now. I did speak to my GP earlier and they said to keep an eye because it didn't sound like a uti especially as it was a vaginal bleed. Going to have to stop myself from testing tomorrow at 7dpo like a loon. I'll hopefully hold off until fri/sat xx

@2020wish thank you lovely 🥰🥰 glad you are being signed off!! That's brilliant news. Haha me laugh about you having a bottle of POM. I have such a large glass everyday, a bottle lasts me just about a day and a half xx

@Stayinghopeful92x thank you 🙏 oh did she? Like full on UTI on just like the type of symptoms? Xx

Supplements wise - this month I took Evening Primose Oil up until ovulation to help with EWCM alongside grapefruit juice and I took soy isoflavones to help me actually ovulate. Now taking Calc Fluor and drinking POM juice in TWW. Xx

@fafi it's funny isn't it with these supplements. I have to keep reminding myself what's in the pregnacare ones so I'm not massively over indulging.

I just do pregnacare, coq10, omega 3. Then calc Fluor in TWW. And juices. I just ordered the biona organic pomegranate juice off amazon. 6 1L bottles for £24. Should last a while (maybe). Worked out slightly cheaper than Pom and is 100% pure - in case anyone wants a shopping tip.

@VP91x I really hope so. I can't work out the fluctuations but I'm not going to try to. That was super dark, I'm almost tempted to not do any more but that's unlikely 😂. Just want a fair chance this month, and if I get an earlier ovulation too then that's just a nice bonus. Maybe my body is ready 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I'm so excited for you to test xx

@2020wish @MichT4 @MrsK21 @VP91x thanks ladies! The rash has gone down quite a bit today so thank goodness for that. I'm not sure what else they can give me. I'm just going to hold out until I see the new doctor on the 24th of August. Hopefully he can help. To top it off, I decided to do a cb opk last night because I was thinking that if I count the spotting as a period, then I would be around CD11. I got a peak on cb😫 so I have no idea what's happening. Dtd but not so hopeful at this stage. This morning my bbt was high, I can't tell whether it's because I ovulated or it's the effect of the dose of Provera I took.

@MrsK21 I'm really sorry that you're in the same boat. I'm on CD 74 or something ridiculous like that. When do you see your doctor? I hope that you get AF soon or they figure out what's happening Xx

Ah so calc Fluor is only for during tww wait to?

Seems like we are all a pro at the conception vitamins lol

My manger just rang me also asking had I spoke to my doctor so she seemed supportive. Said she’s thinking about me and not to worry about work and to keep her updated with my progress of pregnancy. So feeling very good and ALOT less stressed compared to how I felt in my previous pregnancies trying to sort work out. Fingers crossed I get to use this 8 week sign off for pregnancy! Lol

@Hayleylou89 oh my goodness!!!! That is just beautiful❤️❤️ your video just made my day!

@Pugprincess I take calc all throughout my cycle x

@Rainbowhope11 wow how confusing! A peak on a cb digital ovulation kit? You 100% sure you aren’t pregnant

Would these be ok?

@2020wish I did a FRER on Sunday, it was negative. No symptoms at all! So I doubt that I am

@Rainbowhope11 frer aren’t all that rated anymore. A lot of people complaining about them of lately. In all my PST pregnancies they have never gave me a positive result early! Even with this pregnancy when clear blue and cheapies where giving my positives and even clear blue digital. It was the same with my previous pregnancies. I used 4 frer last week after I got my positive on clear blue and the frer where all negative! I’ve read so many forums on here with women having the same experiences: go get urself clear blue 6 days early! And try again. The positive opks can be a sign of hcg

@Pugprincess no they have to be the 6x or 6c

@Pugprincess these ones

Ah thank you 😊 this is why I check 😅

How many do you take per day x

@Pugprincess I take 4 a day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening x

@2020wish crikey lol this is going to be expensive lol. Does it say to take 4 on pack? X

@MichT4 I really think this could be positive for you ovulating quickly. Also maybe your body is taking your spotting as the beginning of a cycle and then you're a bit later. It is all so unknown isnt it! Rooting for you this month 🤞

@2020wish so interesting that your FRERs have been negative but absolutely positive on all other brands. I didn't know this was a thing!

@Rainbowhope11 maybe the spotting was your AF and just a light one? Sorry you're having so much uncertainty at the moment 😩 but good that your dtd if your CB gave you a peak. Xx

@Pugprincess the bottle tells u to take more I believe. But for implantation I think it’s 4. Someone else posted a video on it a while back.

@VP91x I know it’s so strange. Then I googled and it seems others have had the same problem.

I’m on pregnacare original, I see some of you are taking the conception one, is that one better to be on when ttc or are they similar?
