Also girls quick q, my mouth has been dry since tea time last night and all day today which is strange because I drink a lot, I was with my mum today and complained about it and she went "it's an early sign of pregnancy that" and her face lit up, but I'm not thinking that's the case for me at all as I'm only 7dpo, but I never knew this was actually a symptom did anyone else?? I've googled it and apparently it's quite common, either extra saliva or dry!

Amy00 · 29/07/2020 22:18

So this happened this morning...!!!
I'm 10dpo today. Got a super faint line yesterday on IC you could barely see it, but I actually felt low level nauseous all day yest so I knew it was 100% BFP!!!! This morning clear line on IC and frer 🥰

This is third month trying after coming off the pill. Things I did differently this cycle:

  • preseed during fertile window
  • bang slightly less in the run up to FW (saving them up)
  • raspberry leaf tea c3 cups a day up to ovulation for juicy lining (OH refers to it as my juicy pussy tea..!)

Things I did this month (and also did last couple months)

  • take a shedload of vitamins: vit d, folic, zinc, COQ10, omega 3, b12, iron, vit c
  • OH also taking similar shedload of vit d, zinc, COQ10, b12, iron, vit c
  • vitamins for progesterone: b6, magnesium
  • Agnus castus for regulating cycles after the pill
  • evening primrose oil up to ovulation
  • seed cycling
  • pomegranate juice throughout cycle for juicy lining
  • bang every day in FW, maybe twice
  • confirmed ov with bbt rise
  • ate a whole pineapple cut up into 4 portions on days 2 -5 dpo
  • ate c3 Brazil nuts every day in TWW

It's a horrendous long list when you write it all out!!! Who knows if any of these things made a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️

@blodyn91 I love tenby, I love Pembrokeshire but I also love north wales 😉 no I haven't tried booking again I could have forwarded the dates to next year but decided on a refund for now. We may try and book a weekend away just me and OH at some point this year but sad as I wanted a summer holiday as a family as me OH and DS have never gone away together ☹️

2alreadywantanother · 29/07/2020 22:19

I was meant to fly out to Lanzarote monday, but here I am in Ireland 😭

JustMouse · 29/07/2020 22:20

@lucyrp - Thank you. I have save it to my bookmarks to do once home.

@2020mission - I would really like to do the NC500 at some point. Never been to Scotland but its always been on the list of places I'd like to go.

Currently all tucked up in my sleeping bag, all warm but needing a wee and don't want to wak to the toilet block!!

lucyrp · 29/07/2020 22:22

@Amy00 omg congrats! I could never bring myself to do all of that long list of things tho😭 that just looks like stress stress and more stress to me 😂🤣 so excited for you!!

@JustMouse no problem x

2alreadywantanother · 29/07/2020 22:22

@Amy00!!!! Yay delighted for you. You certainly did enough by that list!😂 great line too. Congratulations.

@Vil10 I was reading your post and thinking no, complete opposite and then got to the end wher you said extra saliva. I haven't heard of dry mouth but have definitely got that extra saliva thing in previous pregnancy.

Vil10 · 29/07/2020 22:25

@Amy00 ahhh congratulations! Amazing news!!

LV1987 · 29/07/2020 22:30

@JustMouse @2020mission I'm off to do the NC500 next month... Can't wait!

2020mission · 29/07/2020 22:33

Thanks all for the pomegranate juice feedback 👍🏼 I've got a small Tesco and Lidl nearby. I was hoping to only have to do shopping in Morrison's for less mask use 😷 but I will pop in to one of those tomorrow for a nosey. All I've got is my Brazil nuts for now so I've just had my 3 today.

@Amy00 congratulations and thanks for the list of what you've been doing to get there... although it's so long I've got no chance of getting through such a big list 😂

Vil10 · 29/07/2020 22:39

@Katao hmm strange! Trying not to symptom spot now🙄😂

JustMouse · 29/07/2020 22:39

@LV1987 - ooo, what are you doing it in? Would love to hear all about the plans and afterwards

notyetamumbuttrying · 29/07/2020 22:42

@Franklydear good luck!! 🤞🏾
@Vil10 ah I hope you do get to go! I've always fancied Morocco.
@Amy00 congrats 🥳 hope all goes well for you! I pretty much do/take all that as well but nada for me so far. Hopefully next month!

blodyn91 · 29/07/2020 22:46

@Amy00 congrats! I feel my list will be just as long if I acctually wrote everything down! Love a good informative post with a BFP 🤓

Mococo1 · 29/07/2020 23:41

@amy000 congratulations!!!! 😬

SmileyT · 30/07/2020 05:12

@Amy00 congratulations 🥳 and love the tips, I did most of that aswell, I always feel like it looks like more when you don't take a multivit and write all the stuff down individually 😂 come join us on the grads thread... July Bus Graduates ❤️

Morning ladies! CD10 here and I started taking my CB OPKs on CD8 had 2 blanks so far and got a flashing smiley already today ?! Last cycle I got 4 blanks from CD8 then 3 highs and then my static so wasn't expecting a high so soon?! Ahhh😱

Minster2012 · 30/07/2020 06:54

Morning ladies & massive congrats @Amy00 🥰that's fantastic news!

Just catching up after a long day running round yesterday before it starts again! @blodyn91 sorry I'm on the fake shreddies, but I know what you mean, I will only drink Nescafé coffee & my hubby is picky about Heinz beans & ADORES bovril on toast. Yak

So we've got a lot of testers coming up & into FW for a lot...DH & I had condom sex last night, love how unmessy it is, though awkward again at first 😂

Happy Thursday! X

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 07:12

@Amy00 yay congrats! That's amazing news. Just out of curiosity, how come you started taking Agnus Castus so soon after the pill?

@lucyrp woop woop! Here comes ovulation 🥳

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 07:13

So I have a question... how high is your highest temp in the luteal phase?
Mine this morning (usual morning temp routine, same time, same amount of sleep) was 36.99. Surely if it goes higher I have to self isolate or something?!?!

13 lucky for some? No...cos our bodies are f**k boys 🤪
Juno231 · 30/07/2020 07:22

@Newbie0818 highest mine has gone is 36.9. Hopefully yours is a one off but even if it isn't then low 37 isn't unheard of I think!

My temp shot up to 36.63 this morning so that even femometer has confirmed my ovulating date now and I feel way more comfortable with Sunday actually having been my OD :) officially testing on the 6th and I really want to hold out until then and test properly with a FRER before we head out to Holland that day for the long weekend.

LaceyMermaid · 30/07/2020 07:30

@Newbie0818 I think it needs to be above 38 to be a high temp so you don’t need to worry about that. Mine has dropped (only by 0.2) but I think this is a bad sign
@Amy00 congrats!

lucyrp · 30/07/2020 07:34

@Newbie0818 I recorded a temp of 37.01 in my LP last cycle! Excited for ov 🙊😈
