Continuation of previous .. what 4 threads lol

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 i didn't think I'd get on with temping at all and forget but I've been on it every morning. I really enjoy making a graph lol. Yeah my new one will be here tomorrow and my easy@home tests Saturday. I really really really need to stop with this spending 😭

I'm never checking my CP again, what aload of tosh. Id tells lies haha.

So now we cant ask what dpo you are, when is your expected AF so we can remember?

Glad your vag is ok 🤣🤣🤣

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx I know its weird i tried and failed two or three times before but now since actually setting an alarm 7 days a week I am fully trained and cant wait to see the graph progressing hahahaha.
Ooooh how exciting so you have a new thermometer new tests and you have 1 FRER left so you are 100% set for next cycle and dont need to spend a pennie which is fab!!!

I am the same got mad at myself for buying the big box of easy@home opks and tests but I will be sorted for a few cycles now. Hopefully I won't need them lol but if I do then at least I have them.

Lol OK so I am 1dpo tomorrow and AF is due on Wednesday 3rd September making it a 26day cycle according to flo app. Which is what I have been guessing as well. I really hope I can be good this cycle my emotions need me to be good lol.

Lol me too so we can bd tomorrow lol. And yes totally agree cervical position is pure evil lol

[indecisivewoman81]

@candycrush2298 I think my lack of PMS symptoms kind of hinted to me I might be pregnant which is how come I tested before AF.

But to be honest I have been pregnant 5 times and each one has felt different! One was a missed Miscarriage , one was a chemical then two live births and now this one.

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 i haven't got any of those horrid 5.30am shifts anymore now we have recruited so my 7am each day alarm is perfect for temping👌

Yup i have tons of OPKs, soon to be PG test and that golden FRER that i won't use unless really necessary lol. I dont think im going to bother with the CB digitals anymore when the easy@home OPKs are so good.

Right I've put your date in my calendar haha. I so bloody hope this cycle is the one! Ugh my next AF is like 22nd ish of Sept. Hopefully the soy brings it forward.

I've BD twice this week and I'm not even ovulating! I do rate the macca, i feel i have more energy and feel less grumpy since taking it. Does your hubby take any vitamins? Mine started on the vitabotics but after one box we never got them again. Not sure whether we should or try something else for him.

[candycrush2298]

@indecisivewoman81 thanks hun!! Yeah I have heard each one is different. Just wondering if you ever thought you were out before your tww even began but thats just because I am feeling bleh.

I wouldn't think to test with a lack of pms symptoms because I have had cycles where I thought AF forgot about me and then surprise she shows up unannounced but on time lol.

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx ooooh thats amazing I am sure you are so pleased about that lol!! At least! And now for sure your temps will be more consistent so thats fab!

Lol yeah i really don't think you need to spend anymore money i definitely think you're all set. At least lol so we can actually save money this cycle lol!!

Whahahaha lets hope we have some good news when your calendar reminds you lol!!! If this cycle isn't successful my next AF predicted date is 27th September so will be close to everyone again hahahaha. Yes hoping you can ovulate nice and early and no more AFs

Omg hun are you feeling OK twice this week just for fun 😂😂😂 so proud of you sure your hubby feels like a total boss whahaahah! Yeah I am also loving the effects of maca. Think its making a big difference to my moods. Especially the week before af I am way less grumpy and mean to everyone and don't even feel tearful after the negative tests anymore hahah. Just hasnt helped me obsessing and over analysing the negative tests lol. So i have to fix that myself lol.
Yes hubby takes wellman which comes in the "his and her" pack of pregnacare its supposed to help with motility, sperm quality and sperm count as well as just overall health. He is also on maca root with me and he is on panax ginseng which is also supposed to help sperm quality and count. So yeah we are both on supplements. Was the vitabiotics an all round vitamin or preconception vitamin?

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx this is what we taking was your hubby taking this one of vitabiotics?

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 I'm hoping for a less erratic chart this cycle. Mine were like mountains for some reason! I think a better thermometer will help, mine was just a baby one. Yea well chuffed about the later shifts though!

I am literally spending no money this month now!! Well maybe some vitamins for hubby. I'll attach the ones hes been having.
Your hubby is invested and taking quite a few then which is good. I take folic acid, vitamin c & zinc separatel so ive not bothered getting the woman version.

Literally there's so much to all this its tiring!

I had my first 'arent you pregnant yet' at work today since being back. I say nooo not yet and laugh it off but also cry a little bit inside. I think my daughter hates how much i wont stop cuddling and kissing her. Im so grateful and lucky to have her. Just wish i could give her a sibling and make our family complete.

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx hahaaha the thermometer still seemed to do what you wanted it to do though it took your temps and you got a coverline so even though it was rocky you still saw you ovulated which is the biggest thing and unfortunately it showed the drop today.

Yeah I think its the exact one my hubby is taking. Ours just includes the one for me too. Think you are taking the most important ones anyway. And agree on the no more spending money lol. I dont want too either. But I do agree with vits they are important.

I know who would have thought we have to do so much.

Ugh did they know you are ttc at work? I havent told anyone at work lol. I work with a bunch of men only 6 girls out of 178 employees at our facility hahahaha. And the girls are all older like in their 50s so they not worrying about kids hahah.
Awwwww she just doesn't understand she is small. Probably just thinks you're being weird hahahaha. Really hoping your dream comes true you sound like you really deserve it.

I am off to bed girls have to go into the office tomorrow bleh so have to be up earlier to look like a human 😂😂 night xx

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 I'm not sure how i got the coverline. Some people dont have them but mine just appeared luckily.

The penny sale is on at H&B so might get hubby some more vitamins tomorrow then too. Then no more spending!!

Yeah everyone at work knows were ttc, my hubby used to work there too and literally everyone knows us and our lives lol. Its like a big family there we all know way too much about each other TBC haha.

Awe thank you hunni, we will all get there soon im sure.

Off to bed too in my big pants too incase the cow shows her face in the middle of the night haha TMI sorry.

Speak tomorrow x

[sb12985]

Hello, I was part of this conversation a few threads ago (June). Been absent due to being busy with all sorts going on, but found out today I'm pregnant, I'm only around 3 or 4 days late and was a bit curious. I've been so busy I've not even symptom spotted, I actually feel quite normal! I hope everyone is OK x

[indecisivewoman81]

Update; got 2-3 weeks on the CB digital this morning! So I'm really hoping that means my bean is a sticky one! Going to phone the doctors this morning and see if I can get booked in with a midwife.

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx I think because even though your temps were rocky you can see a definite shift in temps. I think people who don't get coverlines may not be ovulating - thats my understanding anyway.

Ooooh that is nice sale I saw the ad on TV for it lol!! At least you can get the vitamins you need and then yes no more lol!!

Awww how lovely that you both used to work there and everyone knows. I can only imagine the heartbreak though when someone asks you that must be so tough.

Lol let us know if she shows her face.

@sb12985 hey thanks for the update congrarulations that's incredible. So pleased to hear it. I am good thank you no bfp yet but maybe soon.

@indecisivewoman81 yay congratulations thats amazing!!! I am going to keep my fingers crossed real tight that this one is sticky. Sounds like a plan good luck xx

[candycrush2298]

Got my temp spike whoohoo!!! Feel so damn relieved. Like I was freaking out lol!! Took the bromelain this morning. Gah can't even express how relieved I am lol!!

Will still BD tonight 🤪

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx meant to say please update your calendar lol I clearly can't read properly AF is due on Thursday not Wednesday hahaah you will be excited that I am late when I am not.

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 haha! Updated.

Im glad your chart has changed, andddd relax. Mine stayed the same as yesterday and her lady ship arrived in full force this morning.

I've got hubby to start macca today with my and I'll get him some vitamins in the penny sale at H&B then noooo more!

@indecisivewoman81 @sb12985 congratulations both. Wishing you a healthy 9 months.

[candycrush2298]

@Kaybobx lol thanks hahaha

Awww even me hahah definitely more relaxed today lol

Ugh at least she has arrived so we can be 100% sure never to believe blue dyes. So another 17day luteal phase for you lol
Yay think your hubby will enjoy the benefits of maca. Have fun shopping on penny sale lol.

[Boc86]

Yay for chart @candycrush2298
Yes how annoying I fell pregnant both my regular ov months then just didn’t on my super strong ov month! I’m 35 in April and read it’s only like a 20% something chance to fall pregnant even doing everything right

Took my first temp at 2am as I was awake again then
97.79f
How do you change the premom app to C?
So after ovulation temp goes up? Then down before period if you’re not ttc?

[NamechangeTTC]

Congratulations @sb12985

Congratulations @indecisivewoman81

I still feel awful. Exhausted.

Do you take soy at night?

[Kaybobx]

@candycrush2298 look how much my chart looks sorry for itself haha!! Here we go againnnn. 17 days so long! I know its good to have a long one but thats borderline too long!

[candycrush2298]

@Boc86 I know right yay!!! Feeling so much better today lol!!

Argh that is annoying and yes only like a 20% chance when we do everything right how sad is that

Ummm I am not sure let me check the app and see how to change it to C.
Yes your temp will go up when progesterone kicks in and will drop for AF when progesterone leaves the building and estrogen takes over again

@NamechangeTTC yeah i have read less side effects if taken at night. I took at night right before I went to sleep and had no side effects.

@Kaybobx I know so sad when there is only 1 temp its like just reminding you that you are starting from scratch again hahah. So sad

[PinkRoseFlower]

Congratulations @sb12985!

@indecisivewoman81 that's great your weeks indicator has gone up🥳 congrats!

Sorry AF turned up in full force @Kaybobx, looks like you're well prepared for this cycle! I hope we all get our May babies!

[Elakiya]

@candycrush2298 The appointment is just a follow up from my last one but I also want to ask about the exercise and bleeding.

I've texted now so we'll see if I get a reply. I am a bit worried its closed due to Covid but I don't want to find another gynae. This one was really nice.

So you had a 2 day peak? and ovulated the day after that. Based on what you've said if I ovulated on the last day of my peak then I have an 11 day Luetal Phase (well that's great [Sad] ... add more to my problems)

Your cycle in general seems massively different this month. I am very excited for you. 1 dpo. I'll be checking up regularly to see if you get your BFP this month.

@Kaybobx Yh definitely try it, it seems to be working wonders for @candycrush2298
I would try it myself but unsure if its a good idea to take it with Metformin and it also mentions not to take it if you have PCOS so a bit concerned on that.

[Kaybobx]

@PinkRoseFlower its ok thank you. Im excited for this next cycle for us all.

@Elakiya oh yes definitely dont take it whilst on other medication. I hope your gynae gets intouch soon to give you some answers.

@snapple21 has AF showed for you today?

[candycrush2298]

@PinkRoseFlower yassss to May babies!!!!

@Elakiya oh right OK, that makes sense. I really hope they are not shut due to Covid as I myself do not like to change any type of doctor when I have found one I like. (Dentists especially for me LOL)
Yeah I did have a two day peak and judging by temps and negative OPK yesterday I would say yes I think I ovulated sometime after the last positive test. BUT every women is different you know that. I have short regular cycles so you cannot compare at all. And even if that was true 11 days for a luteal phase is also still normal which you know so don't beat yourself up at you!! YOU GOT THIS HUN!!!!

I promise to tag you if I get a positive test hahaha!! But only if its like a real positive which I probably wouldnt even believe whahahaha.

Yeah you are right my cycle seem different I have never had two days of positives ever since I have been using OPKs (even on those horrible eBay OPKs I used in the beginning) I also never had ovulation pain that strong before. so lets hope for very very good things
But fortunately it hasn't made me ovulate late (I am still within the norm for me and I suspect even without soy I would have had a 26day cycle as its been a few cycles of 24days) But I am glad its a longer cycle as my follicular phase was 2 days longer than when I have 24 day cycles. so yay me haha!!

Good luck with your studying and focusing on you! Thinking of you xx
