I was advised the progesterone after ovulation as long you you are 100% sure you have ovulated. But stop if you don’t get BFP day of AF. But I suppose with those that can’t tell if ovulation has definitely happened it’s probs best waiting until a BFP

Thank you @calimommy sorry @chloedancer897 just didn’t want you to use it at wrong time. But if all the other stuff helps you get preg then good to know you have it in ready to go xx

The cream is only 20mg a pump so it’s not as strong as the pesseries that are 200-400mg that I believe u take after a BFP

Thanks @2020wish, there’s so much to it all. Lots to learn for certain x

@Pugprincess I know so much lol

Wow Yh that’s big difference in strength @2020wish worth a shot though if they won’t help yet

@Pugprincess yea big difference so it probs doesn’t make the same difference as the pesseries but hey every little helps I suppose and might just do the Trick if you just need a small top up and get a prescription lol

How's everyone's Saturday night going 😁

Oh just came home with a piri takeaway so I have just got cosy in the spare room with snacks ready to watch cheesy romantic movies 😂.

@Stayinghopeful92x that looks yum 😋 we didn’t make it to the shops. After DH brother and wife left I just felt poorly and tired and been the same since. Feel run down and just not right, x

Morning ladies

How are you all today? I had a few more cocktails than planned last night which I am slightly annoyed about 😂. Can't be doing with hangovers anymore. Haven't drunk more than a couple in a long time.
Nice to let my hair down though - another reminder that life goes on outside this TTC which I think I need!

I wondered whether or not to wear Ava as the temps could be skewed but it didn't work anyway for some reason. So a proper night off for me!

Back to it today of course! xx

@MichT4 aw glad it was a good night and good to let your hair down amongst all this ttc.

Well I’ve just had my 3rd day of flashy smiley face in a row this morn, I’m sure I normally only get it 2 days so I’m wondering what’s going on now? I hope the flashy smiley face isn’t going to linger on and on, how long have you guys had them for? On a plus when I went toilet I saw more egg white cm than I think I’ve ever had any cycle so I wonder if maybe I am more fertile now or if my new diets helping to produce more in some way? Attaching photo of my cb lines, I think it’s getting darker. X

Could it be possible that maybe u did ovulate the first time... and the increased ewcm is pregnancy discharge and the LH surge again is actually hcg? It just happened to someone recently on the thread also. Was it @calimommy ? Sorry if it wasn't.

How many dpo would u be today if u did ovulate the first time

@Pugprincess sorry hahaha I've downloaded the app and got confused I thought that opk was @MichT4 and was meaning she had the first ovulation surge

In regards to yourself I think it's normal to have varying amount of days in the flashys. I had months where it was like a day or two then months where it was like a week long before my static

Morning ladies! I've take a few days off and I'm so behind on here!! @calimommy huge congratulations! I had a feeling you were 🥳 all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy

@2020wish happy birthday! I hope you had a lovely day and that you're celebrating all weekend ☺️

@1999EM I know what you mean about talking about CM being like talking about the weather! I think that's right and that it's more likely to be dry ahead of AF and continue showing if you're PG!

@chloedancer897 I love that haul!

@diorissimo1985 I hope you managed to have a lovely relaxing evening and you feel a bit better about things today ✨

@MichT4 so glad you had a fun evening last night and felt you let your hair down! You seem much more positive today?

@pugprincess looks like you're almost there. Keep going 😊

@2020wish and @fafi thank you ☺️ we didn’t dtd last night cause we were both knackered and I felt rough. Last did it yday morn so thinking il get one in this morn while I’ve got all that egg white and maybe test late tonight to decide if we can be bothered to dtd before bed lol? I don’t want to miss the peak now, I’d like to be aware of when it is xx

@fafi I'm fine thanks, I'm generally positive this month, albeit a little frustrated with peak OPKs and no definitive temp rise. But that's ok, still plenty of time - just hope I did/do ovulate.
Was nice to have a few drinks but not enjoying the icky feeling this morning.
Never intend to drink lots during TTC but I also felt like I started not being myself and doing things because I was worried it would hinder things and that probably isn't the best way to look at things

How are you?

@2020wish not my OPK today. I'll try and do one later. I did have lots of watery CM yesterday but I don't think it's PG unfortunately. If I did ovulate first time I'd be 7DPO today

Xx

@michT4 I totally understand how you feel! I have my fingers crossed for you.

I'm doing good thank you! I'm 5+2 so 5 days past my CP milestone and I just need to get through 5 more days to get past my MC milestone. I'm a little anxious but not as much as I expected to be. Definitely looking forward to passing that next milestone x

Oh @fafi that's lovely to hear. And I love that you're feeling less anxious than you thought. The next 5 days will fly by hopefully

Are you feeling any symptoms yet?

@fafi thank you lovely, glad to see you back and that you’re keeping well! Everything crossed for you xx

Girls, any thoughts on low oestrogen? Yes I’m self-diagnosing as usual 😂 but I’ve got to fill the hours searching the internet in the middle of the night when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep 😉
Wondering if my joint pain is worse before period because of lack of oestrogen and then if this could be an issue to recurrent miscarriage and not catching the last couple of tries...? Anyone any experience of this? X

@MichT4 glad you had a nice evening, definitely good to have those fun nights. You never know how long this journey is going to be, so can't always restrict ourselves 🥰. Hangovers aren't fun at all though!

@Pugprincess I've had up to 10 flashies so don't be disheartened. Also, the lines on the CB opks don't always get darker when you get a peak. Unfortunately they aren't much use that way I've found xx

@fafi glad you've reached a milestone already ❤️

@SmileyT how are you this morning lovely? Xx

I was so quiet on here yesterday just because I felt a bit sad. I think all my resesrch into PCOS got a bit overwhelming. I even forgot to temp this morning the first time in months!? No idea why. Bella got me up and immediately asked for the toilet so just went and done that, got downstairs and remembered 🤷 xx

Morning everyone! Hope everyone is well

@MichT4 I also had a few drinks last night and so agree with just forgetting about ttc from time to time. I used to try and not drink at all when ttc but I was putting my life on hold for months at a time and not enjoying socialising as I normally would. I now just let myself have a drink when I feel like it (normally at the weekend) and will carry on until I get a bfp. Glad you enjoyed yourself last night 😊

@Pugprincess Looks like you could be getting close! Fingers crossed you get a static over the next day or two 🤞🏼 I have always had different numbers of flashies per cycle - sometimes 3/4 and sometimes a weeks worth. I even had one cycle where I got about 10! 🥴 that was an unusually long cycle for me though xx

@fafi Glad you are doing well and not feeling too anxious... these next few days will soon pass and you will be over the next milestone ☺️ xx

@VP91x Totally understandable why you have been doing so much research - I'd be the same and it is productive towards your ttc journey but maybe have a day or two off from research and thinking too much into things. Let your mind clear a little. Sorry that you are feeling a bit down - you keep the rest of us going on the group with all your knowledge and pma just remember that we are all here to return the favour ☺️ sending hugs 💖

Is your appointment tomorrow? X

Oh phew @Northernsoul90 @VP91x I was worried you'd all think I was terrible for it. I was the same @Northernsoul90, I always drove or would make excuses. I actually drove yesterday with every intention of not drinking but then I was given a cocktail and just thought it was time to let go for an evening. It also reminded me how lovely life is, so I shouldn't be wishing time away from cycle to cycle. Obviously it's a priority so I'll always have it in my mind, but like you said @VP91x**, who knows how long this journey will be. First time I fell PG was during the most social few weekends.

However, may I reiterate that I do regret it now because I am not a fan of the hangover. And I'm trying to hold when all I want is a massive coke 😂

@VP91x oh lovely, sorry you felt sad. Try not to read too much, you'll have all you need tomorrow and hopefully they'll give you something to manage it and that's all you'll need to know. It's good to have some knowledge for sure, mainly so you know it's common and likely won't hinder your chances, but try not to let it overpower you. I guess it's the same advice as googling symptoms etc.
Are you feeling better today?
I'm with you on the no temp today, Ava failed me. The only other time that happened was the day I tested last month because I didn't sleep well.

@Diorissimo1985 I don't know much about low oestrogen or how you would know. No googling in the middle of the night though 😂

@Northernsoul90 thank you ❤️❤️ yes, I didn't google anything yesterday or today so far. I done a yoga class after LO had gone to bed and we watched more SOA. So that was relaxing. Sounds like you had a nice evening - did you go out? Yes, my app is tomorrow. Xx

@MichT4 haha no of course we wouldn't think you were terrible. When we conceived Bella we were going out loads and drinking alot! Also, when I conceived the second baby, it was the first time in months I'd gone out for a drink, I got home and we had some drunken sex. It was the only time that month we managed to because I'd been busy at work and doing silly hours! Just goes to show doesn't it, bodies are weird! 🤷

McDonald's coke and hash browns is my go to hangover cure!!

Yes, feel much much better today. I think I just needed to sit in my sadness I bit if that makes sense. My OH got annoyed with me because I didn't even want to talk 😂 I was almost lethargic with the weight of it. Xx

@Diorissimo1985 oh I'm really not sure!! Have you had your estrogen levels tested? Xx
