@candycrush2298 maca is good for my moods, i can tell when i dont take it. Literally can't stop that. Need to try hubby on something though as he's not taking anything at the minute

@NamechangeTTC oh ok makes sense. I thought the liver thing was for women not men my bad. I heard it take a few months for it to get into your system so best start ASAP. Really hope that helps.

@Kaybobx maca has been good for my moods too lol I guess because I am taking it everyday I take it for granted now. Youre right not stopping that one. Just know hubby will hit the roof if I give him more than 3 tablets a day to drink whahahah. He already thinks its too much. Alright will swap panax ginseng for coq10.
Fun fact just checked the well man ingredient list and it has maca root and ginseng in it lol!!! Who knew but very low quantities so it must help with sperm quality if they are adding it in. And there's coq10 in as well but its only 2mg not gonna do much hey lol.

Oh he was on well man but couldn’t tolerate the size. Coq10 is all I’ll manage him for now and got him buying us pomegranate juice which also help apparently. Thinking SMEP this month but unsure about what it means by high- high or our peak?!

@NamechangeTTC really? Maybe hubby and I are used to big tablets because the pregnacare and wellman don't seem huge to us but in South Africa we do get much stronger medication which would mean bigger tablets than in the UK so maybe thats why but we honestly drink them without any issues and I hate tablets lol!!

SMEP is do it every other day from the day your period finishes until you get a positive opk then you do it on peak day, on ovulation day, skip one day and do it again.

But is positive high or peak?

I’m fine with tablets it’s him that isn’t.

@NamechangeTTC a positive is peak. So if you get 3 days of positive tests you're peaking for 3 days and need to have sex for 3 days plus a 4th day for ovulation then you skip one day and do it again.

A high opk is almost positive

90 coq10, 60 soy and pomegranate juice for £16. Cheers Tesco.

@NamechangeTTC sounds like you have a winner.

Set up so I can record.

Morning! So AF arrived in full flow this morning, of course wasn't expecting her until Monday so got up as normal for work in the dark not to wake anyone... i have cream carpets! Say no more lol.

On the plus my luteal phase has gone back to 15 days wooohooo! 17 was just too long. Im happy with that.

@NamechangeTTC looks good!!

@Kaybobx so sorry AF came was so hoping she would stay away for you!! Ugh so annoying. It is good that your luteal phase has gone down a bit!!!

@candycrush2298 its fine, I knew it was coming. Best order those soy from Amazon prime today for the extra £5 after all haha.

Ahh rubbish AF is here @Kaybobx

After my period stopping Thursday I then started wiping brown again Friday which is weird for me
Hope the Agnus castus isn’t messing my cycle up already!!

@Boc86 rubbish eh!

Funny you should say that as that happened to me after my last cycle. I never spot before or after my AF but last cycle 2 days after AF I spotted wiped brown then nothing again. Odd

@Kaybobx oh shoot yeah you best order the more expensive one now lol!!! Ugh so annoying since you will need it Monday lol!!!

@Boc86 think the soy does something similar, as I started spotting before AF last cycle and the cycle before I spotted after AF making AF last 6 days which has never happened usually 4 days.

Let's hope for some more soy babies.

Also, thanks to the encouragement in this group I had sex 4 nights in a row during fertile period. I would NEVER of been bothered to do that!! Was worth the effort though of course lol.

I feel hard done by that 6 in a row means nothing 😂

Started pomegranate juice yesterday too. It’s actually nice but so bloody expensive. 250ml a day each means the £3 bottle lasts 1.5 days!

@snapple21 yay I am so glad it paid off!! Whenever you ovulated you obviously covered it!!! I am so pleased it worked!! Now we just pray for a sticky pain.

OK now since you track you cervical position and check it all time is it high and soft like Google says all pregnant women are?

@snapple21 also can we please see your chart... up until it broke that is

Ive just came across this site (im so busy at work) haha! McDonalds chips?? no idea what thats about but im up for that.

theduff.co.uk/ivf-food-pomegranate-pineapple-chips-coq10-dhea-acupuncture/

My chart is rubbish sorry!
My cervix is high and soft.

@snapple21 you timed BD perfectly! I think we did way too much so his swimmers probably had nothing left in them lol.

Interesting that your temps are very straight up and consistent too, mine were very up and down.

Have you told your hubby and son yet? How are you feeling?

I have told my husband he is pleased but we are both nervous due to previous chemical, and also we lost our first baby at 16 weeks when I had a termination due to medical reasons. So just want confirmation all is ok. I have a dream of telling my son on Christmas Day. I hope it comes true.
My plan would be too have an early scan in three weeks to confirm heartbeat. Then I'll speak to the screening midwife at my hospital as I want to have the NIPT test (private blood test for chromosome disorders) at ten weeks to confirm all clear. Fingers crossed all goes to plan. I've done another frer today which is stronger.

@Kaybobx which thermometer are you using? I found the femometer really accurate (until i washed it)!
