Continuation of previous threads new name...

@candycrush2298 you give me hope. I keep staring at that evap hoping and praying its real :(

@Elakiya I really really hope its real for you too have everything crossed that this is your month hun!!!

Just checking in. Really hope we see some lines soon! We have a distinct lack of them in this group! Haha. Surely odds are we get at least one this cycle!!!
I'm 5 days po. No symptoms. I start getting progesterone symptoms at around 7 days po based on the last two cycles. My boobs hurt, I cramp and feel nauseous etc. So we will see if this happens this cycle. I've started convincing myself I haven't ovulated then last two cycles cause I haven't had intense ov pain like I have before. My temps seems to suggest I have ovulated though so we will see.
I really don't want to test early as I convince myself I can see lines.

Fingers crossed for you @snapple21 we are about the same stage app says 6dpo here. I didn’t temp but got a peak LH which I haven’t had before.

I have both the femometer strips and the solid ones in cases @candycrush2298. The easy@home would have been perfect. The other ones said 25 which confused me!

I’ll look again tonight. No real symptoms of anything. I was so certain our last cycle - cramps, implantation bleed

@snapple21 hey😊 I agree this group doesn't of ours needs some uplifting hahahahah!!

I definitely think that you are ovulating your temps have raised though havent they?

Its weird because my intense ovulation pain also hasn't been happening do you think our bodies change with age? Like I wonder if its because I am getting older hahaha or if its because of the vitamins and maca root. Weird though lol.

I am also with you on the testing early. I dont want to test early this cycle either.
Are you going to wait until AF?

@NamechangeTTC I think you will be fine with the tests you have or do a poundland/home bargains run hahaha. Another really good early test is the superdrug early tests but I haven't been able to find them near me forever!!!

I know the feeling of being so sure this is the cycle and the dissapointment is so tough

I’m off to buy Brazil nuts after hearing they can help implantation. I’ll have a nosey in Tesco at tests too.

@NamechangeTTC yes @Boc86 is an expert in these nuts lol!!! I have also heard that pineapple core from 1dpo to 5dpo is really good not sure how true it is.

I hope your tesco has tests mine just has Clearblue. When testing early stay away from blue dye tests once you have gotten a positive on other tests then blue dye is fine but when testing early you can never tell if its an evap or real positive. Thats why they famous for false positives

Thanks @candycrush2298 I will definitely pick up a couple tomorrow then :)

Hahah Brazil nuts are fine to tolerate but Jesus the seed cycling is rancid
6dpo, got my 7DPO bloods tomorrow
Very very sore boobs yday, little better today but I get this every month with progesterone after ov

@NamechangeTTC I've also been eating Brazil nuts since @Boc86 recommended them.

I am sure I've read pomegranate juice is good to thicken the lining but I could be wrong, I'll need to look it up.

I’ve had a load of Brazil nuts. Now cooking mushrooms as the psychic who told me I’d be pregnant soon told me I needed to eat mushrooms. (Also marmalade but not doing that)

Yes. I went woo.

@PinkRoseFlower no worries lets hope yours have two lines on them when you test eeep.

@Boc86 yeah I would think the seed cycling is rank lol which is why I haven't tried them yet lol!! When are you supposed to take the Brazil nuts might try those lol!!

@PinkRoseFlower I dont like pomegranate juice why can't it ever be anything nice 🤣🤣🤣

@NamechangeTTC lets hope those mushrooms result in a bfp!!!!

Has anyone used the pregnancy test brand called "Answer" I know they look like FRER and made by the same manufacturer but has anyone actually used them? First time I actually looked at them on Amazon lol!!

@PinkRoseFlower Can it be Pomegranate rather than the juice. I am sure I saw pomegranate in my local tesco/asda and I do absolutely love the fruit!

@candycrush2298 you take them all the time
2 from af to ov then 3-4 from ov to pregnancy/af x

@Boc86 oh so I am late to the party then lol already on CD4 whoops

I’m positive I’m out this month :(
Only 6dpo but period due in 3 days and I’m getting the low down crampy aches I get a few days before my period :(
I’m going to be so devastated, I then have to stop trying till December
This also means my luteul phase is 9 days not 10 like I thought so it’s definitely an issue :(

@Boc86 Hopefully it doesn't arrive. But if it does then between now and December keep tracking your cycles, keep temping. Hopefully you'll get some insight about your cycles. Keep seed cycling and keep up all the other progesterone stuff your taking. Then hopefully come December you'll have conceived straight away.

I'm also out this month. I took another PG lol and realised the first one was 100% and evap. I think my body needs to be taken care of. I've completely let go during lockdown and gaining weight at a substantial rate. I am going to take 2/3 months off and eat right and look after myself and then start using opks again (note I'll be doing SMEP until October) but I've decided not to test with Opks for a couple of months just so I can focus on myself. I think that's the best thing I can do for myself right now.

@Elakiya I've just been having the exact same talk with myself. I've put on weight, I'm not exercising hardly at all and I need to stop obsessing over this and focus on getting healthier first.

Sending you love x

@indecisivewoman81 i think it’s the fact that we’re not healthy that’s making our low moods even lower. We need to fix it who knows how long this will take we need to be able to get up and go again but doing what I currently do I know I’ll be depressed and Ill in 2 months if I don’t pull myself together now.

@Elakiya the whole fruit is good! This wee article shows the benefits, it's also good for the man's health too! I haven't done much reading on it I'll be honest but I enjoy pomegranate juice so going to add it to my diet next month anyway! parenting.firstcry.com/articles/pomegranate-for-male-and-female-fertility/

Sorry that you think your out this month. Definitely need to look after yourself. I also feel like I've let myself go the past few months, literally done no exercise in so long. It's not easy is it. X

I agree about the weight thing. I'm 3 stone heavier than when I got married in 2017. Feel very sluggish and unhealthy at the moment. Eat out to help out isn't helping ME much 😂

@candycrush2298 I really want to try and hold our for af to test yes! We will see how that goes.

@Boc86 I am so sorry does that mean you're not getting the same symptoms you did with your last two chemicals? That just blows!!!
Hopefully between now and December you and doctors can figure out what's wrong.

@Elakiya awww so sorry the first one was definitely an evap. I know what you mean I also havent been eating great. Definitely self care is always a must. You do what you need to do to feel good and if stopping opks is what you need to do then definitely do it.

@indecisivewoman81 I think this lock down and breaking our routine has definitely let us not worry about ourselves so much. And I 100% know what you mean about obsessing I went crazy lol.

@snapple21 lol!!! I havent used the eat out to help out but its a great day will likely be doing it before the end of the month lol!!
So bad isn't it.

Good luck on holding out rooting for you!! I am taking small steps to recover from my addiction 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like a true addict. I dont want to test before 10dpo its messing me up. Next cycle I will aim for 1 day before AF is due lol!!! You can do it 💜💜💜💜
