@candycrush2298 I think its to just give your body the right nutrients for it to start functioning as normal again. They do herbal tablets for loads of different cases, endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, Premature Ovarian failure, Male fertility. It's about $40 a bottle. I'm not sure how much shipping would be. I'll give it a try only if all else fails lol.

@Kaybobx Hows the acupuncture thing going? It was acupuncture wasn't it :S

Hi All. I'd like to join this thread as my AF is due 29/08

I'm on my first month TTC #2

Didn't want to be actively trying and just thought I'd see how things went but already 13 days into my cycle I'm obsessed and even took an ovulation test today which came out positive so basically jumped on my husband when my DS was in bed 🙈 lol

Good luck everyone xx

candycrush2298 · 05/08/2020 22:20

@Elakiya oh wow that is amazing that it does all sorts but how long does a bottle last you is that just a months supply? Is there no UK equivalent to that?

@Lynne425 welcome and good luck, thats great I am pretty sure he wasn't complaining hahahahaha!!

@candycrush2298 there is a national institute of medical herbalists. I just looked for my nearest one and she has a breakdown of prices

Initial consultation + research + treatment plan £90

Follow up consultation £50

Herbal medicine £10.50 per 100ml

Dispensing fee for repeat prescriptions £6

Not bad pricing to be honest lol. I am slight tempted. My private gynae costs £300 per consultation lol!

@Lynne425 Welcome :D

candycrush2298 · 05/08/2020 22:34

@Elakiya those prices are not half as bad as going for anything else fertility related thats private.

Definitely sounds like it has the potential to be really beneficial.

I assume because you're tempted you believe this is something you think will help you? If so this could be really like revolutionary for you and hopefully the small thing you need to push it over the edge into a bfp for you!!

@candycrush2298 Tbh I'd only try it if my gynae turned round and said you'll never be able to have kids. I know a couple who conceived after 25 years. Went to the baby's first birthday last year. I just need to believe it will happen when the time is right.

NamechangeTTC · 05/08/2020 23:03

@Elakiya I admire your stamina!

I’m low again on opk today so assuming I ovulated yesterday. Husband looking forward to a night off. Haven’t been hearts in forever and now this.

Welcome @Lynne425

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)
candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 07:30

@Elakiya do you really think your gynae would say that?
Wow thats a really long time to wait I think I would have given up by then yes you are right we need to just keep believing it will happen.

@NamechangeTTC hahahaha Well sure you can both enjoy the time off now you just have the horrid TWW good luck.

@Kaybobx before you ask, I took 3 tests Femometer looks negative so does home bargains 6 days early and I possibly see a very very very faint line that the camera will not pick up on easy@home which makes me think I am imagining it especially since the other 2 are negative.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 06/08/2020 07:34

@candycrush2298 that sounds so frustrating I guess you just want to know either way!

Yes 2ww now. App says I should test from next Saturday? Is that right?

candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 07:38

@NamechangeTTC yes after 2 years of trying I just want to be pregnant now lol!!

Its up to you, you will be about 10dpo by then which sounds about right or you can test from 8dpo.

Kaybobx · 06/08/2020 08:01

@Elakiya you had to shoo him away hahahaha!!! We've done good this cycle, i admire how your keeping going though. Im totally done until next cycle lol.

@Lynne425 welcome to the crazy bunch

@candycush2298 ooooo can we see them all. Have you tried putting the neg filter?

candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 08:28

@Kaybobx yes I have tried filters, edits, lighting everything. Nothing helps which is why I think its imaginary 🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 ah man, i can't see anything but praying it's just the lighting. How does your chart look?

candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 08:42

@Kaybobx the first two are definitely negative I saw nothing in them. They are negative. The easy@home is where I maybe saw something but can't pick it up on a camera. Chart looks the same. I had the same temp today as yesterday. If it drops over the weekend we know AF is making an entrance.

And I forgot to tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you have a lovely day 💜💜💜

@candycrush2298 Thank you lovely 😊

That chart you posted said to test in the evening, maybe try later?

Your chart looks good. Mine has too many dips, god knows where/if i ovulated.
So at what DPO does it drop if AF is coming or is that unknown?

Kaybobx · 06/08/2020 08:57

@candycrush2298 OMG i see it on both!!!!

candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 09:04

@Kaybobx I am so over holding my pee lol got bored of that testing at night real fast 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's see yours? Did it rise today?

It usually drops the day AF is due or a day before and it will drop done to your temps you were getting before you ovulated. So depending how long your luteal phase is will determine the dpo since I am thinking I will have a 14day luteal phase my guess is it will drop either 13 or 14dpo.

Yes I know you can see it lol!! But its old now. And when I saw it in the timeframe it was so light like truly light.

On another note have you got a little birthday gift at all from hubby yet??? Is it what you thought it was???

PinkRoseFlower · 06/08/2020 09:17

Hi all!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @candycrush2298, let's hope you do get your bfp this month🤞🤞

Aww happy birthday @Kaybobx! Have a lovely day, hope you have the day off work! 🎂

I got my static smiley on CB last Friday so would Saturday have been my day of ovulation? Making me 5dpo? Or 4dpo? Lol I am not great at this. I've already been symptom spotting as well which is ridiculous as its way to early for that😂 god help me! TWW sucks!

candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 09:24

@PinkRoseFlower lol I don't think the symptom spotting ever goes away lol!! You always think could this be it but progesterone just does loads of things to us so it can always go either way hahaha.

You will be 5dpo if you ovulated on Saturday and yes if you got your static on Friday then Saturday should be ovulation day.

And thank you lets hope so. I have like no faith left kind of just waiting for AF now.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 06/08/2020 09:28

@candycrush2298 did it have colour when it was light? You can't have a 3rd indent surely lol.

My chart attached. It just looks odd compared to others.

I did get a hot tub 😊 although its on back order so not arriving until 22nd August 😂 our garden isn't finished yet so wouldn't put it up for a while yet anyway. I got some lovely roses and lily's too with a balloon and some cupcakes. Cute!

@PinkRoseFlower awe thank you 💖 yes mostly definitely off work for a few days.
Ooooh what symptoms are you having?

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)
candycrush2298 · 06/08/2020 09:40

@Kaybobx the tiniest amount of pink I am not even convinced hahaha. Maybe I just have bad luck lol!! I dont know.

Yeah you have an orange line on todays so I would say yesterday was ovulation and we all have different charts even month to month will vary. It rises for 2 more days you should be fine.

Yay for the hot tub isnt your hubby just the bestest thats fab!!! How cute are flowers and balloons awwww adorable!! And yay for cake I will never say no to cake lol!!

OP posts:
PinkRoseFlower · 06/08/2020 09:56

@candycrush2298, totally understand its very easy to lose faith but your not out until AF arrives!

@Kaybobx My symptom spotting so far has been aches in my legs, which before I started ttc I never ever noticed but when I had my chemical and early mc that is one of the things I noticed the week before AF was due, very crampy legs... But every month since then I've also noticed it the week before AF so I'm guessing it's AF related and I just never noticed before 🙈 or maybe it's in my head😂 don't think it's even a common symptom anyway as I struggled to find anything related to it. Also got some twinges today but it's all in my head I know it😂

Elakiya · 06/08/2020 10:00

My peak has disappeared. I did a workout this morning and surprise surprise I am spotting. Really upset now :(
