@candycrush2298 if I’m not mistaken they only intervene after miscarriages?
I’m going to do what @Boc86 recommended. I’ll get some Brazil nuts, I’ve had my seeds.
Have quite mild cramping as well.

candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 08:58

@Elakiya really but a short luteal phase or the lack of appropriate progesterone could inhibit pregnancy as your lining might not be strong enough and all sorts of things with low progesterone. So I would have thought they would have done something after a year of trying without success. But I am only guessing lol!! So dont take my word for it hahahaah I have no real knowledge in this department.

I think that is a great idea. I dont know all the benefits of vitex but have a look at it and see if its something that will help you. I have heard really good things for people who struggle with ovulation and have irregular cycles and it isn't expensive and you only take a few tablets a few days after AF and before ovulation so will last a long time.

@candycrush2298 oh no ☹ not the news we wanted or expected but lets hold on hope until she arrives (Hopefully not).
My temp hasn't risen today either. I did sleep with the fan on too! So hopefully thats the reason.

@Boc86 good luck with move

@Elakiya Oh wow look at that! Im afraid to say but you need to keep BDing 🤣 I've not checked mine in a couple of days. Will try one now.

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:10

@candycrush2298 I think I could get my private gynae to look into it. I mean they are getting paid so they'll probably be more careful so I think I could write off April baby :(.

I wanted to go back to the gynae in October. He told me to come back in August but I have exams and stuff so didn't want to but I think if I get AF this month I may go and see him end of August.

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:10

@Kaybobx Well I'm due a BD today anyway lol!

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:11

@Kaybobx Surely this much BD-ing can't be good for the body! My PT gave me a mega workout yesterday and I am still aching from it.

Kaybobx · 07/08/2020 09:19

Woaaaaa why is mine still high too?! 😲

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)
Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:27

@Kaybobx Lol! Maybe it's normal then. Maybe last month I shouldn't have had a low and something was up last month? I am not sure. But as we both have it I am now not as concerned?

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:28

@Kaybobx to be on the safe side, get ready to BD lol!

Kaybobx · 07/08/2020 09:37

@Elakiya I've had all my tests done recently so i know nothing is wrong so i wouldn't worry. They say not to keep testing after you get a peak, probably for this reason that we freak out.

Im absolutely not BDing again haha!! We need to do his semen test today so he's only getting a helping hand today 🤣🤣

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:49

@Kaybobx I told my hubby that I can't do this BD-ing business so often. I told him we should by one of those home insemination kits and just use that. That went down like a lead balloon.

However you know whilst you give him a helping hand, maybe take the preseed syringe thing you got and transfer some semen :P. It's all the same thing really.

candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 09:49

@Kaybobx I know but its OK. Honestly I am OK. I am very emotional but that's because I had a really bad vivid nightmare about my sister so its got me all giddy and since she doesnt live here I have been calling make sure she is OK lol. Stupid I know but these damn hormones get the better of you lol!!

@Elakiya @Kaybobx please stop testing your opks you girls are freaking yourselves out lol!!! And all your Dr Googling is making it worse you know things are exaggerated there lol!!!
I think personally that you have both Bd'd enough and if AF arrives this cycle then calling the gynae might be a good option elakiya. It's always better to know where you stand if you can you know.

@Kaybobx let us know how the test goes crossing fingers and toes its all normal

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 09:50

@Kaybobx I disagree with the do not test after your peak though. What if you didn't ovulate on the first peak? You'd totally miss your second peak.

Kaybobx · 07/08/2020 10:15

@Elakiya its like with the CB digitals, once you get your peak it doesn't let you test again. I have no idea though, maybe thats why so many people struggle to get PG.

@candycrush2298 haha im not testing anymore. I only did to see what mine was like as @Elakiya was still high.
Im absolutely not BDing or checking google haha. It is what it is now.

snapple21 · 07/08/2020 10:17

@candycrush2298 if this isn't your cycle I'm sorry ❤️ and on to the next.

We need a name deciding today for the new thread or we might lose each other! We're nearly at 1000 posts again'

@Kaybobx that opk looks like it's coming back down to me. I always seem to have 3 days of super high readings. At least.

candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 10:22

@Elakiya that is why people temp to confirm they ovulated so that after the fact they don't test anymore if ones temp doesn't confirm ovulation then yeah keep testing.

I think thats the exact reason CB does not let you keep testing after a peak. But in saying this its for people who have normal cycles and are regular. I know you have PCOS and are irregular so your circumstances go beyond the boundaries of "whats normal"

In your case it is probably better to keep testing.

@Kaybobx lol good you have been for tests at the doctor and you know you are ovulating so you dont need too and your test is high but its negative so its coming down lol.

@snapple21 thanks hun!! Its OK
As for the name I like CSG that Elakiya came up with if you have a suggestion give it I don't mind but agree when we get to page 39 I am creating a new thread and will post the link here so we can move.

snapple21 · 07/08/2020 10:30

What does csg stand for but yes of course :)

Elakiya · 07/08/2020 10:38

@candycrush2298 I'm only continuing to test in the hope of seeing a peak OPK just before my period :D Hubby won't let me use PG tests. He said I can only use them if I miss my period.

@snapple21 Can't believe we're nearly at 1000. I have no idea. Maybe we should get a short list of names and then do some sort of poll on here?

Kaybobx · 07/08/2020 10:45

Just having a browse on Glow and came across this persons chart!!! Holy shitballs!! Look how much BD she has done!! Wow.

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)
candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 10:54

@snapple21 conception support group

@Elakiya lol I remember you saying that. Its not a bad thing it feeds the poas addiction without the dissapointment of negative pg tests lol.

@Kaybobx see everyone's charts are different but think she has some problems either not taking her temp correctly or hormone issues.
BUT the BD holy cow she has stamina lol!!

snapple21 · 07/08/2020 11:51

Omg all that sex I could not 😅😅
This is my temp chart guys does it look as it should!

candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 12:05

@snapple21 you temps look great is that the flo app? I would say tomorrow being the 3rd risen temp will confirm ovulation. Look at those hearts you been busy hahahaha.

As for the name you happy with CSG? Or do you have another suggestion?

OP posts:
Elakiya · 07/08/2020 12:25

@Kaybobx OMG she's a machine. That or it's her first cycle of TTC and she's gone all out. That won't last! Imagine 6 months of sex every single day! I'd die.

@candycrush2298 I have other suggestions. Conception support unit (CSU) but for some reason reminds me of ICU.
TA (Testing Asylum)

@snapple21 Is that Flo? I didn't realise you could put BBT in there.

candycrush2298 · 07/08/2020 12:30

@Elakiya oooh you're good now i don't know what to choose!!

Girls look at Elakiyas suggestions above and pick one please ASAP we need to move lol!! We going to get shut down again lol!!!

And you can add bbt into flo I add it everywhere lol!! I still like how it looks best in fertility friend even though it says I am 14dpo today lol.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 07/08/2020 12:48

I like CSG too but open to any

We should have BD last night as last night of fertile period but I couldn’t face it, especially the 30 mins legs in the air after. Definitely makes it a longer scenario and not in a good way!
