Oh dear 🙈 well good luck to you too , 2021 is the year 🙏 im ovulating today so had to pin my husband down as he wants a few drinks later!!! What a bloody carry on this is! Xx

Good luck @MgW1! I finally got a positive on an opk today so looks like I may still be in with a chance this cycle after all! 🥳

Happy new year everyone, here's hoping that 2021 will be our year 🤞🤞🤞

@selina37
Stopped opks , dtd 3 times this week and itd enough, eaten too much choccy and dont feel sexy at all 🤪xx

@selina37
*its

Argh, was so relieved when I finally got the positive opk yesterday (after thinking I wasn't going to ovulate this cycle) that I made the mistake of telling my oh that I was ovulating. So then yesterday and this morning he's not been able to 'finish' as he feels under pressure. Wish I hadn't told him but I can't unsay it now. We'll try again later but worrying now that we won't have done enough this cycle 🤦‍♀️

Happy new year lovely ladies!!! 😘😘😘 Here's to lots of healthy and sticky BFPs, especially those of you currently in TWW!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks for asking - I'm getting there! Hoping AF kicks in soon for me, so we can TTC again! Also, my BBT is dropping, so it's definitely been accurate for me - if that helps for anyone considering doing BBT tracking! 😃

Feel the pain on the OPKs - they stress me out too, so I try and focus more on DTD when we want to, especially around the FW days! Don't worry that you're not ovulating, honestly! The main thing I noticed was being too hydrated shows up as a negative OPK - annoying since being hydrated is best for fertility/conception! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@Kitekat81 excellent news re: clinic! Please keep us posted! 😃😃😃

Also, Anyone here use any of the pregnacare supplement - for you and/or partner? I take folic acid everyday and vitamin D when I remember, so wondering if it's worth getting pregnacare so it's all in one?! 🤔

@M4v3r1ck I took Pregnacare and it messed with my cycles I had loads of cycles where I bleed mid cycle 🤦🏼‍♀️ stopped it and cycles went back to normal. Now I just take folic acid and Vit D daily instead. OH was on male version but now on Impryl instead as recommended by our clinic x

@M4v3r1ck glad to hear you're getting on ok! Hopefully it won't be too long until you're back on track.

I used Pregnacare for a few months but decided to stop as read a lot of reviews from people saying it messed with their cycles. It's actually quite a strong supplement if you look at it - lots of ingredients in quite high quantities. I think if your cycles are irregular then pregnacare might help regulate them, but if your cycles are regular I wouldn't risk messing with them. I switched to seven seas trying for a baby as it seems to have fewer ingredients in smaller quantities. No side effects so I'm pretty happy with it, although obviously can't say it's helped me conceive because it hasn't so far...

Note to self - never tell your partner you are ovulating! It's a total mood killer in the bedroom 🤦‍♀️ Luckily we've been able to joke about it today - I've had lots of 'is that because you are ovulating' / 'be careful of mummy she's ovulating' (directed at the cats) / 'can you ovulate on someone else please' jokes today 😂

Phew, glad I checked, ladies! Thank you! 😘 I'll just stick with the regular folic acid and vitamin D then! It obviously worked! Just 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for a healthy and sticky BFP next time!

@Kitekat81 omg yes! DH loves the extra DTD during FW, but at the same time, he has confessed to feeling pressured too! Catch 22, eh?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️ How many cats do you have?! We have two!!! 😻 I swear they know when I'm ovulating and act like a pair of cockblockers!!! 😹😹😹

@M4v3r1ck I have two as well! 😻 They are my surrogate babies until the real thing comes along 😄

@M4v3r1ck I'm sure I read somewhere about high vit b in it causing an issue but I could of just made that up 😂
AF arrived in full force for me today after being 3 days late this cycle just what I wanted for new year 😩 xx

Happy new year ladies.

I can feel my AF coming on as getting the cramps. I hate it! Due on in a few days. I was really hoping this month would be the month ☹️ Sorry just having a moment.

@Tillybabs same here... it's gonna be here today for me too and I feel proper bloody down today anyway. Hope you're ok ❤️ Keep going 🤗

Arguments yesterday with DP for me 😪 and I can't get myself to snap out of it 😞
Anxiety gets the better of me sometimes. I was always scared of being cheated on and my ex did exactly that with bells on. It's hard to think rationally sometimes. Can't seem to shake the anxiety some days 😫

Happy new year all. Hoping this year (or month!!) will be lucky for us.. in the TWW so fingers crossed..!

Hi Everyone - Happy New Year. I’ve just made the decision to try for a third so hoping I can join your lovely thread. Had some blood work done a while ago that suggested perimenopause so not super hopeful 😬 Think I’m about 1DPO if it happened.

@selina37 sorry to hear you’re struggling with anxiety. I’ve had anxiety since I was a teenager and it’s just the worst thing. Have you talked to your other half about your anxiety?

@selina37 sorry to hear that. I hope you can work it out. I know the anxiety is there because of past experiences but that doesn’t mean it will happen again. Try not to let it worry you so much.

I turned 40 yesterday so it just made it feel all the more depressing lol.

Happy Monday everyone! I think I'm 2dpo, waiting for my temp rise to confirm ovulation, sometimes don't get a proper rise until 3dpo. So sorry for everyone waiting for af, it really is the most stressful part of the cycle, so many emotions.

Welcome @GuessHowMuch! Do you mind if I ask how old you are, and what was in your bloodwork to indicate perimenopause? I worry about it a lot but don't really know what the signs and symptoms are. From what I've read though it's still perfectly possible to get pregnant during perimenopause!

Happy New Year ladies!

Af here in full force today 😩 such fun!

Sorry you are struggling @selina37 my previous relationship did not end well (ended I’m divorce due to ex h cheating) but I refuse to let that dictate my future or current relationship. I know it’s not easy for everyone though. I am quite in to meditation and self help though so that def helps. Perhaps something you might try?

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

New Year New Me! Prioritising weight loss this month (including dry January) and also not going to poas early anymore! Here’s to a new less fat, less crazy, sober moi!! 🤞
