Ah @chloedancer897 it’s so hard to read the body at this stage isn’t it with AF symptoms being similar to PG symptoms? Also, so hard after MC I feel to understand ours bodies as for some reason it changes things. Whereas pre MC I could read my body and cycles pretty well I felt. Don’t take your twinges as a full write off lovely, they could very well be twinges for a different reason 😉 xxx

Thank you @MinnieMouse4 @Banbi @MrsK21

@HappyVibes that sounds familiar - and I hope you do get to go and say that! It's annoying when you end up with tests that you know are pointless! And thanks for the supplements list.

Thanks @chloedancer897 - I was wondering about omega 3 and coq10 myself but worried to try too much at once. I might add them in after the next cycle.
I hope this is your month!

@HappyVibes I just think in TWW I'm so aware of every little twinge that I'm feeling. Last month I got this right sided sharp pain that I've never had before and then brown staining around 11DPO thinking it was implantation bleeding but AF came right on cue. So now I'm thinking this same pain is my body letting me know AF is coming as opposed to being pregnant. Also, apologies, I just can't allow myself to be hopeful anymore so I'm so negative all the time. I won't even tell DH when AF is due because I can't bear to think of him getting his hopes up either

@familybythesea there's a great YouTube channel called Fertility Homeopath and she tells you what supplements suit for certain things like PCOS, to improve egg and sperm quality etc. I also take Calc Fluor lol. I'm like a walking vitamin cupboard 😂

@familybythesea welcome to the chat ! I'm sorry you found yourself here. I can't offer advices on your two questions. But on second one, I drink grapefruit, pomegranate and plum juice a lot. It should help with tttc. So I think the juices have plenty of vitamins ;)

@BEESY90 I hope you are fine dear ❤️ and it all went well with your appointment.

@Runnergirl1 @Sully84 @MrsK21 Thank you ladies 💖 I will let her know of the things you've suggested xx

Just catching up on the thread now! Hope everyone is okay xx

@MinnieMouse4 @HappyVibes @Banbi @chloedancer897 @MrsK21 Eek so excited for Saturday! I actually won't be testing on Saturday as I'll be 12dpo at that point I'm going to wait until Monday/Tuesday to test if AF doesn't arrive 🙏🏼🙏🏼 fingers crossed for lots of bfps! Xx

@familybythesea Hello, I'm really sorry for your losses ❤️. I hope you will find lots of support and advice here xx

Hi @familybythesea I can’t help on being tested on the wrong day I’m afraid but am interested to see if anyone else can as I am wondering a similar thing. I had a conversation with a dr today and she said about booking in for blood tests 7 days before my expected period but my last few cycles have been really long at around 41 days. They are usually 31/32 days. I have managed to book in for blood test on Monday but that will be based on a 33 day cycle so don’t know if they will be any good. The dr also said about booking in for bloods on cd2 but doesn’t matter too much if it happens to be cd1 or 3 so to try and answer your question I’m sure you will be ok if you are a day out. X

Sorry to hear about your losses @familybythesea. X

Hi @familybythesea welcome to the thread and sorry for your losses.
I don't have any experience of those tests sorry but I get spotting before my period always have done since coming off the pill and nothing has ever been said to me about lacking in progesterone. I always count day one of my cycle when I get a full flow I don't count the spotting as the start of my new cycle. Xx

@Northernsoul90 I'm going to be 13DPO on Saturday and AF due on Sunday so I figure I'll just go for it and hopefully it's clear either way. I'd rather wait till AF turns up or not but I'm finding it a bit hard as the days go on so compromised with testing on Saturday. Hopefully I don't chicken out 🙊 x

Haha @Northernsoul90 @MrsK21 that’s me too! I can’t wait to hear all the BFPs over the course of the week eeek.

I feel proud of myself so far tbf as other months I’ve always worked out 6 days before and tested at the absolute earliest opportunity, so Saturday is good going for me ha. Xx

I'm so excited for you all testing over the weekend. Literally have everything crossed and sending lots of baby dust your way girls xx

I'm excited for you all too! Not long to wait now. It's been a while since we had some testers

@BEESY90 I hope you are ok? Hopefully you see this and can quickly let us know how you're getting on

Fingers crossed you guys get your BFPs this weekend girls!xo

And you @chloedancer897

@MichT4 thanks so much. On night shift now so I'm sure it's messing with my temps! And not getting much sleep either

@MichT4 I also promise to stop being so negative from now!x

@chloedancer897 that'll definitely affect your temp. I think it's important for us all to take all fracking, especially temps, with a pinch of salt. It's so fickle as a measure, could fluctuate because you're wearing different pjs! And the skin temp is always more susceptible to external factors, as our resident expert @VP91x once reminded me

And it's totally understandable that we all have some engrained negativity, it's so hard to get our hopes up. Well I say all, not unless you're a fountain of positivity like our lovely @HappyVibes 🥰. Don't apologise for protecting your emotions and managing expectations, but I think it's important to always think you are in the game during the TWW until you're told otherwise. No reason you wouldn't be 💗

Anyone caved a day early? @HappyVibes @Northernsoul90 @MrsK21 @MinnieMouse4 @Banbi @chloedancer897

@familybythesea welcome to the group hun, and I'm so sorry to hear about your losses.

I think they need to try and get the right day/time in your cycle with your blood tests, but not sure how much they can still gleam regardless of the date - can't always be exact. I have mine on the system for when I get to CD1 but had a similar thing with spotting and being unsure whether to book. I didn't because I'd had my smear so think it was that. I'd say definitely call though and get them to do day 21 bloods, or whatever day is 7 days short of your cycle - they need the whole picture not just the early cycle ones.
Have you had the results back yet? x

@MichT4 hahah I feel like you’re able to read my vibes! I did cave hahaha! Unfortunately no BFP to report over here from my early caving. I’m confident it’s because it’s early & still only low accuracy. I also don’t know for sure when AF will be, although apps are saying Sunday/Monday. Post MC my cycles have thrown me & different lengths so I can’t determine when AF is due...so unsure (other than apps) how many days pre AF I have tested. Time will tell. 😬 💓

You're so right @MichT4 I'm in total protective mode!

I will only test Monday because it's my daughters birthday on Tuesday (when AF due) otherwise I wouldn't test at all. I can't face it and actually I'm afraid to test this month!

How are you? Any further along with answers?

😂😂 @HappyVibes I had a feeling it would be you! Sorry it wasn't a bfp this morning but like you said, not out yet. AF being due Sunday/Monday means you might not have implanted yet, or only recently. Sending all the positive vibes to you for the next test

@chloedancer897 you could still not test this month, just use your daughters birthday as a nice big distraction and take your mind off it. Last cycle I was annoyed with myself for testing because I didn't want to, but the holiday made me. I wish I had the option to stick to my gut feel to wait (even though it now turns out I'd be waiting still 😂). Do what you need to, but no need to apply extra pressure if you don't need to

I'm fine thanks, generally feeling pretty bummed out about the whole situation but trying to scramble some positivity back. Luckily I'm distracted by Loki, the little shit bag 😂😂. The doctor has now done the nhs referral for RMC so I have to wait for that. I don't know if I said but she called EPU and they've asked me to call them next week if I still haven't had any bleeding, so perhaps they will scan me and see what's what. So I'm still very much in limbo. I'd rather AF just hurry up because then I know where I am and I can get my blood tests done. Feels like my body is mocking me x
