@snapple21 Don't lose hope yet. Buy an FRER this might be the start of something :D. Fingers crossed for you.

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx But it's true though. I've been told one very simple thing. Lose weight and you'll get pregnant naturally. I was told that over 2 years ago now and I am still overweight so to sum it up, I've just been lazy I need to sort myself out. I know this will happen if I lose the weight but that's where my problem is... I sit exams every 6 months work can get super busy so I just end up making excuses for myself. If I want a baby I need to pull myself together. Even my gynae last month was fuming that I had gained some of the weight back. I could clearly see on his face that he wasn't happy at all... I need to lose it. I don't know how I am going to do it but I need to otherwise I am scared I'll either have a baby with health conditions or I want have one at all.

@NamechangeTTC Sad I'm sorry that you also feel this way. It's really disheartening and upsetting, and what makes it worse is if you're an emotional eater, it's a vicious circle.

NamechangeTTC · 16/09/2020 20:24

Oh I fully understand. I got mega skinny to get married and ran all the time but I can’t run now and it makes me angry trying. I can’t be arsed found out to do a mile when I used to do 10 miles easily for fun. I can drop carbs and lose weight but be fucking miserable and skint but I might have to try.

Elakiya · 16/09/2020 20:27

@NamechangeTTC Yh low carb makes me lightheaded and tired all the time. I did this before I got married and used to sleep at 8pm everyday because I was sooo tired. But I definitely think unless I do low carb I won't lose the weight... and once I go back to the NHS they just won't help me.

snapple21 · 16/09/2020 20:46

So possibly the asda ones aren't that good.
I'm going to do another clear blue early detection in the morning.
I have the first response but only the rapid ones?
I think they're only sensitive to 50miu.
I'm cramping like my period is coming!

NamechangeTTC · 16/09/2020 21:03

Could be implantation though!

candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 21:26

@Elakiya I believe its possibly a contributing factor but by no means the sole reason. One of my friends are almost 20 stone and she had a healthy baby. Whilst she may not have had the best pregnancy being obese she conceived and her husband isn't much lighter than her (they did no struggle to conceive within 4 months off birth control she conceived). And of course there are many other people who are overweight and have children. So I refuse to believe thats the only reason.

I am most certainly not saying dont lose weight because being a healthy weight is always a good thing I am just saying I dont think its 100% preventing pregnancy. And the same goes for you @NamechangeTTC I just cant see it as a punishment to you.

And I didnt do low carb when I lost my weight I constricted calories and followed my fitness pal which was macros of 50% carbs, 30% fats and 20% protein.

@snapple21 think the rapid response won't pick it up yet unless you're prepared to wait a week to test i would use a different test for now and keep the rapid response for later.

Can you grab some other tests?

I need to be so low cal to lose it’s so frustrating I maintain on 1200. Low carb helped that.

I’ll kick my arse in gear soon.

ReginaaPhalange · 16/09/2020 22:17

Hi all.

CD14 and not near a peak yet.

Took today off. Dizziness has subsided and only getting the odd wave of it. Ear infection has cranked up so went to chemist earlier and got some earcalm spray which i hope helps. Boss says if I'm still not well I should stay at home, but I feel so guilty about being off.

Had a wave of lightheaded ness as I typed this..... maybe it's cause I'm thinking about it!

I'm thinking about watching some one born every minute just now, while DH is in the cabin lol!

NamechangeTTC · 16/09/2020 22:20

Maybe it’s ear related @ReginaaPhalange?

I’m 2 days prior to AF and spot this day every cycle. Nothing.

NamechangeTTC · 16/09/2020 22:20

Which lets me hope.

ReginaaPhalange · 16/09/2020 22:24

@NamechangeTTC I'm thinking it is too. Bloods weren't back today, so hopefully tomorrow and they are all clear.

Have you got any symptoms at all? X

NamechangeTTC · 16/09/2020 22:30

Sore boobs and crampy. Also exhausted but walked miles today. Ended up asleep for 90 mins before dinner.

candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 22:45

@ReginaaPhalange wow you're opks are a pretty consistent darkness before you peak. What day do you think you will ovulate?

Hope you feel better soon, its possible your light headed and off balance due to an ear infection as that controls balance?

I am guessing ovulation for me is today, or maybe yesterday? Is your CM still eggwhite on ovulation day? Today I am having creamy CM and my boobs are super sore and engorged so definitely think I have ovulated but don't know if you ovulate the day your progesterone symptoms start or the day before? Any insight @snapple21 sorry you're my go to lol. Or @Elakiya you have a wealth of knowledge haha!!

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 22:46

@NamechangeTTC lets hope there's no spotting at all for you hoping this is a great sign and there's still a chance for your bfp yet.

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 16/09/2020 22:55

@candycrush2298 last cycle was CD20, so I recon a few more days to wait.

Yeah, I agree it's more an ear issue than anything else. The spray does make my ear ache for a while though which I'm taking as a good thing that it's helping lol!

candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 22:58

@ReginaaPhalange have you been BD'ng every other day to follow SMEP yet? Sure hubby is loving those lol.

Let's hope the earcalm starts working it all through and gives you some reprieve

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 16/09/2020 23:07

@candycrush2298 nope, we haven't bd at all this week since I've been feeling so poop. Need to make up for it hopefully over the weekend haha!!!

candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 23:10

@ReginaaPhalange awww your health is the most important if you aren't able to this cycle just try again next cycle. At least you haven't ovulated yet so there's still time. But yeah focus on getting better first.

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 16/09/2020 23:12

@Kaybobx felt my cervix again and I definitely without a doubt have developed little cysts I think there's 2 but could be 3 lol. I know I shouldn't touch it hahahah but I needed to check if I have ovulated lol.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 17/09/2020 07:44

13dpo, decided not to test
Wait to see if AF appears tomorrow

snapple21 · 17/09/2020 07:51

@candycrush2298 I would of thought cm would turn creamy post ovulation.

Update from me. I've done the other clear blue I had see pic attached and tell me your thoughts. I've done the other cheap Asda and thought I could see a squint of a line on that one too. I need to go to super drug today and hope they have early detection first responses.

I've had a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage before so I'm very very nervous.

Top is yesterday's bottom is today.

@snapple21 I really hope they aren't evap lines. I'm excited to see a frer

snapple21 · 17/09/2020 08:37

Trying to get a good pic of the asda one. It was stark white yesterday and I can see the faintest squinter today.

@snapple21 you don’t even need to draw that arrow it’s easily noticeable and it’s pink! I defo think this is the start of something. Way too coincidental to get 3 evaps. Do an FRER 😁😁😁😁😁 fingers crossed for you
