@ReginaaPhalange I have also always used tampons. I never wanted the cup always said nah I will never use it and then bought it for when I put my legs up to keep the semen inside to give the sperm time to swim hahahah and then I thought ugh why not and its so amazing!! I change it once every 12 hours.

@ReginaaPhalange I second @candycrush2298. The cup is amazing. I can't believe I never used it until now. But it's the best thing ever.

@candycrush2298 I've had a very bad day of eating today. I really need to sort my diet out. I'm going to start meal prepping and freezing meals from now on. I was tempted to try diet chef it's £90 for first 4 weeks and then £190 for the other 8 weeks. I thought that's really good and then thought, nope thats ridiculous. I can do it myself for half the price I just need to meal prep. Here's to meal prepping, will cook and set everything up on sunday :). Tomorrow and saturday I'll just use my fitness pal

candycrush2298 · 03/09/2020 20:58

@Elakiya awww I have also been so bad on Tuesday when I was sad I walked my dog to the shop and bought junk. So know how you feeling.

Well done on meal prepping truly its the best thing you can do. If you have them ready made it makes it so much easier to stick too. You are going to do so well I can feel it!!! And if you mess up one day dont let it become a week just accept you screwed up and do better the next day. Dont beat yourself up. Just chat to me whenever you feel like you struggling. And feel free to share you meals from myfitnesspal if you want. Whatever is going to help you get through it I am here xx

I held my pee then forgot and drank 2 cocktails.

Testing now but two cocktails down.

Elakiya · 03/09/2020 21:12

@candycrush2298 Thank you so much :). I'll come on here and tell you weekly progress. I want to be 7kg less when I meet the gynae in mid-November. I have 2 months (I think that's achievable even though I am going into the height of exams).

I also want to be at a healthy BMI for my birthday next year at the end of feb.

NamechangeTTC · 03/09/2020 21:51

I seem to have a higher peak. Perhaps soy? Even without holding wee. Hadn’t peed for four hours but had had cocktails.

@Elakiya OK deal!! 7kgs in 2 months is 100% doable. Awesome sounds like a fantastic goal for your birthday!!! I am super excited to hear about your weekly weigh ins.

@NamechangeTTC ooooh look at that. Did you get that BD in???? Definitely seems the soy has done it for you I also got my strongest peak ever with the soy!! Awesome!!

That peak is incredible 😬

NamechangeTTC · 03/09/2020 23:12

Not quite yet. Hopefully!

Kaybobx · 04/09/2020 06:36

@candycrush2298 erm yeah.. i think im broken this cycle 🤔

Is a strong peak good @snapple21?

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 07:16

@Kaybobx don't freak out remember the same thing happened to me my bbt only raised the day my tests went negative. But I have googled it and apparently your BBT can spike up to 3 days after ovulation so try not to do what I did which was freak out until it started rising 🤣🤣🤣 sorry its being so annoying hun.

@NamechangeTTC from what I have read about peaks on an LH strip apparently how strong the line is has no impact on conception but it does make it easier to see you are peaking as you know when it's only as dark as the control line you think to yourself hmmm is this peak? isn't this peak? and you second guess but with such a strong peak there's no second guessing that hahaha.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 04/09/2020 07:20

It looked darker without my attempts to photograph in a pub loo!

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 07:26

@NamechangeTTC thats awesome!!! Nice strong surge and it seems longer than what you said about last cycle i would say the soy did its thing xx

OP posts:
snapple21 · 04/09/2020 08:13

I don't know the significance @NamechangeTTC but it's nice to see! Hopefully would suggest a strong surge?
My monitor has finally move to high today. Cd16.
I've not bd much this month I'm going for a more targeted approach 😅 might start tonight or tomorrow, considering my peak should be tomorrow or Sunday.

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 08:36

@snapple21 sounds like a plan hahahahahah!!! Lets hope this more targeted approach works wonders for you I know a targeted approach definitely works for @Boc86 hahahaha.

Kaybobx · 04/09/2020 08:40

@candycrush2298 oooo can i see your chart please so i can stop stressing. I'm literally having a meltdown this morning thinking I've not ovulated! I got a BD in last night so only missed one day in 7 days 🤣

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 08:47

@Kaybobx You see mine only rose up after an actual negative opk.
I know the stress because I was freaking out thinking I hadn't ovulated. Because mine also just barely shifted up and I was like what you supposed to rise after the first positive opk what you playing it but it didnt it only spiked after a negative test lol!!!

Lol so Reeses and a wee beer did the trick then whahahahahah!! Omg cannot believe you got 6 out of 7 days thats me needing A&E for a broken vagina if I tried that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 i literally think I've given myself thrush 🤣🤣🤣

So when do you think i actually ovulated? Im so stressed lol

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 09:14

@Kaybobx LOL lets hope not I have never had it but I think it is extremely unpleasant haha.

I think since you were still peaking really strong yesterday that the chances are you are ovulating today IF your OPKs finally go lighter today that is. If you are still peaking today then....... you know how the story goes whahahah.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 04/09/2020 09:16

Apps think I’ve dropped but it looks pretty similar to me.

@Kaybobx tempted to say "BD until the temp rises" but I feel like that won't go down well.

Kaybobx · 04/09/2020 09:43

@candycrush2298 I'm definitely not at peak today haha!!

@NamechangeTTC those easy@home tests are amazing aren't they?!
You've had some strong readings

Kaybobx · 04/09/2020 09:43

@Elakiya whats yours like today?
I'm absolutely not BD again! Noooo way

candycrush2298 · 04/09/2020 09:53

@NamechangeTTC nice!!! You are having a two day peak it is lower than yesterday but you are definitely still peaking. I would say tomorrow is ovulation for you. Mine looked exactly like that will show you my strip logs I also had two days of positives when I usually get one.

@Kaybobx oh that is great to know it has dropped but is the test actually negative or is it still positive?

@Elakiya is it your ovulation day today? Or was that yesterday?
