Continuation of previous threads new name...

Just catching up ladies

Interesting to hear others feel awful after ovulation. I felt very low.

5dpo.

Ooo exciting @Kaybobx and good luck. Thank you ❤️

@candycrush2298 thank you ❤️ I’ve already been referred to the recurrent mc clinic so I don’t need to update my doctor anymore x

@Kaybobx hahahahaha our husbands must be none the wiser and how can we blame them when we spend most of the time confused by what our bodies are doing 🤣🤣🤣

Hmmm I don't mind cordial @but not when its hot hahahah.

Are you at least feeling a little hopeful about this cycle?

@NamechangeTTC morning!! Awww sorry you feeling awful

Hey everyone.

How are we all doing?

I'm 10dpo today and did a IC pregnancy test which was BFN so I'm probably out this month.

I hope everyone else gets there 2 pink lines xx

@Boc86 oh thats lovely so glad you have been referred there (sorry if you already told us this) very pleased to hear it then I like your plan of waiting until 11dpo to avoid dissapointment. Truly hoping there won't be any dissapointment this time round though.

@indecisivewoman81 so sorry about your BFN hopefully it will still turn into a BFP when is AF due?

@candycrush2298 AF is due Friday.

How are you doing? X

Happy Monday All!

I am 9dpo, not feeling any pg symptoms 😒 as much as I do keep searching for them 😂

I've only got 1 pg test and it's a CB digital so not wasting it, going to order some frers and test on Thurs or Friday, AF is due Saturday.

Good luck to everyone else testing this week🤞

@indecisivewoman81 yeah still a few days away so you definitely have time dont stress about it.
I am good AF is nearly finished so we can try again soon. How are you??

@PinkRoseFlower lol as they say some symptoms is the symptom lol. Yeah definitely keep the digital for last lol!!! Good luck for testing let us know how it goes xx

@candycrush2298 I'm trying to stay positive but then just thinking it never happens so whats the difference now.
The triphasic example chart on Fertility Friends is exactly the same as mine, so if my temp shoots up high tomorrow I'd be happy at this then lead to a pregnancy.

@PinkRoseFlower no don't waste that digital. You need to have really high HCG for those to work. Good luck.

@indecisivewoman81 dont give up yet. Its not over until she shows.

Just read a different thread and found this
"I've pasted the soy info below - I did CD 5-9 as was having blood work / a scan before that and wanted them to be natural. I just got the Tesco ones (ignore the fact they say menopause on them 🙈) and took 80mg CD 5-7 and then 120mg CD 8-9 although actually didn't take day 9 ones as had a migraine. I took them before bed as can cause headaches etc.

Here's the info I found on them:
You take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on either CD 1-5 , 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9. If you take Soy Isoflavones during the later time bracket, for example CD5-9, you shall strengthen the egg that has already started growing producing a healthier egg. The earlier in your cycle you take it, the higher your chance of releasing multiple eggs but these eggs will not be as mature as the eggs grown from taking Soy later. A lot of women will choose the middle cycle (3-7) allowing time for a strong and healthy egg to develop without erasing the chance of a second egg being developed and released.
1-5 = you produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.
2-6 = you produce more eggs than usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.
3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be alot stronger than 1-5.
4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured alot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.
5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality."

Tempted to try next month

@PinkRoseFlower we are at similar stages of our cycle.

@candycrush2298 I'm okay, but frustrated and fed up. Need to stop being so obsessive and focus on the present more. X

@indecisivewoman81 Awww, I know how you feel. I am becoming quite teary and upset. Also I am an emotional eater so this is genuinely not helping my PCOS :(

@Elakiya you and me both. I've just had a handful of chocolate pretzels because I saw them in the fridge even though I had breakfast 45 minutes ago!!

@Kaybobx I know but this time you have done something different you BD'd more you used proper OPKs that showed a much longer surge and bd'd on those days. And you charting BBT to ensure you did actually ovulate so yeah this month could be different hun!!!
As for triphasic chart thats incredible really hope it shoots up up up!!! Ooooh so routing for you!!

@Elakiya omg that sounds great. I want to get some I can still do the CD 4-8 or 5-9 if I grab some tonight after work. Did the poster of this thread say that it worked for them? Or anyone else say it worked?

@indecisivewoman81 I hear you my obsessiveness went way over the top last cycle. So totally know how you feeling!!! Its so difficult though isn't it

@Elakiya do you tbink it will matter if I take them tonight and still do CD3-7 or do you think its best taken in the morning? I missed the window by not starting on CD1 with raspberry tea so maybe this will be better for me to try. I know I ovulate but I don't know the quality of my eggs and this will improve the egg quality and give a strong ovulation I am all for it.

@candycrush2298 The poster got a successful BFP on the first month of doing this. Hopefully if you can have it tonight you could do 3-7? Omg I am so excited to see how this goes. I will try this next cycle too.

@candycrush2298 I don't think it matters if you take them in the evening/night. As long as you get it in your system from cycle day 3 - 7 I think that's fine

@Elakiya OK will get hubby to go past Tesco on his way and pick some up lol!! Going to start tonight. OMG a BFP first time I wonder if she was struggling to conceive before this. I know everyone is different and it may not work but at this point anything is worth a shot I think.

Thank you so much for the suggestion really appreciate it. Eeeep fingers crossed xx

I am hoping with your erect nipples that eggo of yours is already preggo but in the event that it isn't why not give this a go lol

@candycrush2298 This was posted in a thread called "long cycle girls" or something like that. Therefore I am guessing they would have had irregular cycles and therefore trying to conceive for a while. I'll have a read of that thread and see if I can work out when she had been trying since.

At this point I genuinely don't think any of my symptoms are actually pregnancy symptoms lol. I genuinely think I might just have erect nipples due to this cold/flu type thing and I think I got that due to not taking antihistamines.

@candycrush2298 I will definitely be trying it next cycle too.

@candycrush2298 This is what that poster had said "Hey ladies, I'm also in the TWW (AF was due today) but I actually got my BFP a few days ago on a ClearBlue digital (and now I'm a whole new level of feeling anxious!)...after almost a year of TTC we were very shocked as was losing hope. In case it helps any of you long cycle ladies I tried soy isoflavones this month - it's dubbed the 'natural' Clomid, which I'd been prescribed but had put off taking as wanted to do everything possible naturally first. I O'd 7 days earlier than cycle before and I'm sure it was stronger than normal because I had an instant temp rise whereas normally I have a very slow rise. Would definitely recommend looking into them if you want to bring O forward to shorten cycles. It's obviously very early days for me, but just wanted to share in case it helps anyone else x"

@Elakiya lol well we can always be hopeful!!! No losing hope before AF has arrived positive April baby vibes hahahahahah argh thinking of you hun I know how brutal it is xx

Oh wow ok that's amazing I know I dont have long irregular cycles (hope it won't mess that up lol!!) But I am still going to try it anyway.

@candycrush2298 True, AF is only a week away so we'll see how that goes. I don't think this soy thing should wreck your cycle. I think it will just improve your egg quality. Fingers crossed for you this month :)

@Elakiya yes you have made it through the first week of the TWW which is always the worst for me. On the last stretch now!!

Yeah dont think it will I have heard vitex will mess up regular cycles and should only be used for irregular (its also dubbed a natural clomid) so thats why I didn't buy it. You have got me all excited and ignited a bit of hope me again was feeling quite defeated thank you so much xx

Hi girls, please can I join your chat, I've actually been following your previous threads but haven't been able to register... It turns out I'd been autoblocked for some reason, but now we're all good! Just as a bit of background about me, we thought we'd start trying last month as we had our wedding day and we're having our reception next year, so would love for a little one to appear in between (I know that's a big ask!!). Anyway, I thought we'd done it last month and the first of trying, I got a really faint BFP the day my period was due... And then had a bad bleed and a negative after, so it must have been a chemical (this happened a week before the wedding). But we've got back on board and have tried again this month. I'm not tracking as don't want to appear too obsessed yet as my husband will totally think he's married a crazy person 😂 but I'm on my tww now and I'm already hating it! Does anyone else find themselves touching their boobs willing them to be sore?! My boobs were so sore last month which is what gave it away for me and prompted me to test!
