Ladies what thermometer do you use? I have the Femometer opk but I feel like they’re a bit shite 😂 I’m so torn between telling myself I’m not gonna use any opk next cycle and try to not obsess, to thinking will I buy a thermometer and more CB opks? 😂🙈

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 20:57

@HappyVibes @littletandme I was wondering about this also with the vitamins I take - I was taking a high dose Vit D but when I looked it was 4000 mg and I thought this might be too high so switched to 1000. Im not taking a multivitamin though as they seem to give me headaches so I just have things separately xx

@Cici89 This month I've been using the femometer thermometer (what a mouthful 😂) and trying to temp properly for the first time alongside cb opks - I don't really get on with the others deciphering lines and holding is stressful for me! Xx

@MichT4 No I've not had static yet I'm on cd12 and got a flashy yesterday and today which is really early for me as I don't usually ovulate until day 19/20 so I hope I don't get loads of flashies! I'm trying to temp for the first time properly this month and my temp dropped from 36.26 to 36.11 this morning, could this signal ovulation is close? I've heard it can dip before your surge? Xx

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 20:58

@MichT4 Beautiful rainbow 🤞🏼🌈 me too!! Really hoping it's good news for you xx

VP91x · 17/08/2020 21:38

@Northernsoul90 Thank you, yes this is very true actually! It really does, it's such a shame that it becomes like that though. I am going to have a look to see if OH & I can get away for an evening somewhere, maybe a spa break or something without Bella, I feel like we need it! Ooh, I hope so? Although the dip should occur on the next day that you get your peak if that makes sense because that would be ovulation day! Fingers crossed you aren't waiting much longer!
PS. Jamaica sounds so dreamy for your wedding.xx

@Pugprincess thanks lovely, haha yeah! I think with her being older it would make such a difference too, she is so active and isn't used to not being able to do whatever she wants really. I'm glad it is going away, brilliant news.

@Tink20058 Oh amazing, it is so so nice to be able to buy baby bits. I can't wait until I can do that again. Enjoy all of the shopping! Haha, that made me laugh. Yeah the tiny dogs can be a bit nippy can't they. I would love a tiny dog! Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I saw the end of my washing basket or ironing pile so kudos to you! I'm impressed. xx

@fafi gorgeous scan pic, I am so glad all is okay with your tiny bean xx

@Cici89 Ooh definitely need to read that thread, thank you for sharing. Sorry that it was a BFN, might still be a little early for a digi though? Fingers crossed! Oh also, just saw about the thermometers I use the bluetooth femometer one it syncs to the app xx

@Bl0ndi3 Definitely getting darker, start testing a few more times a day with the cheapies and use your CBD daily for your static! :)

@Rb486 it isn't until May next year I'll be turning 30, if I get pregnant soon I will be heavily pregnant! So, no haha. I would have loved to go away for it, but that's okay if I get my little rainbow xx

@Mamainmaking1 welcome! Sorry that you had an early-mc, great that you have got an early peak, sending you lots of luck for this month.

@BEESY90 I'm glad you are being looked after, let us know about your scan when you go tomorrow! Please don't message your ex (?) unless you really desperately have to for something, he clearly doesn't care about you or the baby and you don't need him making you feel like crap. He sounds so despicable, he probably gets a kick from you still wanting to even talk to him. Sending you a massive hug xx

@chloxhunt brilliant news that all is well!x

@HE88 Sounds like you're all covered, sending you all the positivity for this month! Calc Fluor is fine to take whenever, you can even take when pregnant. I have only ever used the EPO up until ovulation because I took it to help with EWCM I was taking 4000mg a day and it made a real difference x

@MrsK21 oh no, maybe it is just like a leftover bleed like your OH said? I assume they mess around with your hormones quite a bit so it might cause a bleed once they are out of your system. @Rainbowhope11 has taken it before maybe she can shed some light? I'm sure it won't affect ovulation otherwise they wouldn't give it out without warning you especially when they know you are TTC. Sending you a massive hug xx

@SmileyT thank you lovely, yeah he is okay today actually which I am glad of. How are you? xx

@littletandme So sorry you have had another chemical - so gutting! That's good that your temps have improved, at least you can see a positive from that. Good luck for this cycle x

@Diorissimo1985 Ooh fab that you are 11dpo.. so the weeks indicators for CB Digi are 10miu, FRER are 6miu and normal early testing CB are 10miu so there isn't too much difference actually. I hope it is a BFP for you.xx

@MichT4 I love that rainbow, it is such a sign of hope isn't it :) xx

Only update from me ladies is I think AF is coming.. had some spotting!x

OP posts:
Cici89 · 17/08/2020 21:45

@VP91x @Northernsoul90 Thanks! I’ll definitely get that one so! I’ve bought another CB but the normal one for the morning. But I keep thinking how in May when I found out I was pregnant I was very tired and very thirsty. I think deep down I know I’m out but I’m willing to spend all my money on tests to be proved wrong 😂

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 21:51

@Cici89 Sorry I thought you meant OPK tests 😂 I have used internet cheapies for pregnancy tests and found them fine but used cb to confirm. Will you be testing in the morning? Xx

Rebecca1992 · 17/08/2020 21:54

@MichT4 Fingers crossed for a good progression when you test again! 🌈🥰

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 21:55

@VP91x A night away sounds lovely! It is a bit of a passion killer isn't it ttc 🙈. Jamaica was amazing it's a bit depressing looking at what I was doing a year ago compared to now 😂 we would love to go again. Oh right so would the temp drop after static smiley? And then rise? Xx

Cici89 · 17/08/2020 21:58

@Northernsoul90 Sorry, I was talking about the thermometer and then pregnancy tests 😊 Yeah gonna do another tomorrow and then AF is due on Wednesday. But I’d imagine it’ll be a bfn 🤷🏻‍♀️

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 22:10

@Cici89 Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼 really hope you get a bfp xx

HE88 · 17/08/2020 22:45

Those of you that is taking epo what one are you taking and also omega 3 what are you taking? Also is it coq10 that can help egg quality? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be taking the right stuff! Xx

HappyVibes · 17/08/2020 23:20

Hi ladies

In your fertile window - do you all still exercise? And in your TWW? If so, do you do the same level of exertion or do you reduce it a little? I am paranoid I don’t want to do anything that’ll effect the sperm quality / implantation. But at the same time, I love exercising & want to be as healthy as possible for my pregnancy xxx

chloedancer897 · 18/08/2020 02:23

@HE88 I don't take EPO as my CM was all ok but I take calc Fluor twice a day after I ovulate and coq10 for egg quality. My OH also takes it to increase sperm quality x

chloedancer897 · 18/08/2020 02:26

Anyone who is interested in buying the Ava, I have a code for £20 off. I haven't tried temping but I already know I would be too lazy to get up early and do it! 😂😂 hoping it will arrive this week and I'll update everyone if its good x

I've been wondering about this too, and what about in early pregnancy as well? I'm normally very active, do a lot of walking etc, and although I wasn't careful during my TWW as we were only 'trying casually' (whatever that means) as soon as I knew I was pregnant I stopped doing all heavy lifting and even most active stuff if I'm honest, I was worried about causing a miscarriage. Which then happened anyway Hmm but I'm interested if anyone's got further thoughts about during TTC itself. Xx
Bl0ndi3 · 18/08/2020 08:48

I just had a call from the midwife checking I knew my booking in appointment today was telephone not at the children's centre. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ EPU is supposed to inform them so this doesn't happen but obviously didn't
.

Also having a slight issue with FMU in that I keep waking up at like 5am absolutely bursting and i can't do my CBD test then and so I'm trying again with like SMU when I wake up a few hours later bursting again and im worries it's too diluted even tho I've not drank anything in that time. Done a CBD and it's still low but I'm just wondering if that's accurate. I'll do a cheapie OPK in a few hours and see how that's doing later.

I know CBD says FMU but if I get more concentrated urine later in the day can I use it then?

HE88 · 18/08/2020 08:50

@chloedancer897 thanks what brand of coq10 do you take? Xx

Pugprincess · 18/08/2020 09:02

@Bl0ndi3 sorry they have done that to you 😔 seems to happen more than it should.

Guys had some brown spotting back this morning when I went for a pee. I don’t know if we have set it off by ‘foiling around’ last night? We didn’t have full penetration but honestly I don’t know how we’re supposed to go without it the whole time. It had been 3 weeks and we were missing the intimacy and getting frustrated. I mean I can probably manage another 3 weeks again now lol. Hoping it clears off again. Not to be rude but we literally only had the tip in lol, but wondering if my O set off contractions and brought some down 😔 sorry for the xrated chat 🙈😳 no easy way to put it

HappyVibes · 18/08/2020 09:13

@Bl0ndi3 I would think that’s absolutely fine re: SMU as long as you haven’t drank anything since FMU. I would definitely count that. If it’s 5am your FMU, could you maybe use that one and do it then just for reassurance if you’re worried about SMU not being as accurate? Not that I would be worries re SMU at all, but just if you are. How many DPO are you now? Xxx

ladysamee · 18/08/2020 09:17

I don't know ladies.. evap line? I would have thought that it would have been a stronger line 13dpo

@Pugprincess I would definitely say that this will be the trigger, it absolutely fine and proven safe to have sex in pregnancy - baby is so cosy in the womb and lots of fluid around, it won’t harm baby. But of course it is worrying when you see anything that isn’t clear. However, if you research, there is so much research to suggest any form of ‘fooling around’ / orgasm (I love how you used that haha), May likely result in a little coloured discharge/spotting.

Hopefully this will be some reassurance for you - honestly, research it, it’s so common and no worry. It would only be worrying if you had no known trigger for it, which you do my lovely - so all smiles cxxx

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 09:17

@Pugprincess I've always been told it's safe to have sex during pregnancy, if you are worried contact your doctor and see what they say.
I still have zero symptoms I know it's still early but I'm really starting to worry now. Ttc and then falling pregnant is just a contact stressful time xx

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 09:19

@ladysamee you may have implanted late, there's definitely a line there. Try leave it 2 days and test again. Is af due tomorrow? Xx

Diorissimo1985 · 18/08/2020 09:19

Morning ladies, hope everyone is well today 💚

I found an Internet cheapie at the back of the bathroom cupboard 🤣 and tested this morning despite planning on buying either a FRER or CB later today. Accidentally dipped too long and it was either a evap line/splash mark or a very very very faint positive....😳
