@Vil10 that's not too bad then! anything's worth a go 🤣

@Katao only the actual date but hopefully will be enough

Katao · 24/10/2020 13:40

@lucyrp yes but if that's the only date and the right date then doesn't that just seem meant to be! 😃😉

Minster2012 · 24/10/2020 13:40

@Juno231 what about @Florence13 & @Sarah239 & @Skip86 & @Sausage1990 @Newbie0818 @Vil10 for the bus! What part of the bus do I get? A door? A horn?! A gearstick first pleasuring myself?!! 😂

@lucyrp I would send them back if they are open that's ridiculous! If the seal has gone definitely 🤔

@Vil10 that's a lovely front door 😂what an old thing to say 😂🤪

@Newbie0818 that's so good about you OH & 🤞🏻for him & @Juno231's too that all is good with swimmers

lucyrp · 24/10/2020 13:41

@Katao i know that's what i was thinking 😱🙈

Katao · 24/10/2020 13:43

Oh sorry @LaceyMermaid, didn't mean to worry you 😬 just one of the things that put me off trying them. I had them i my online shopping basket and then chickened out 😂
I'm sure at 15dpo you'll have an answer one way or the other soon 😀

Katao · 24/10/2020 13:45

Aw hopefully @lucyrp, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 😘

Ltay2 · 24/10/2020 13:47

@lucyrp Defo complain about the open tests!

Also in regards to supplements to potentially try, I took these coq10 tablets 3x daily, they are said to improve egg quality. They are obviously a lot more expensive than usual multivitamins but have good reviews from what I have read.

I also took Zita West VitalDHA twice a day, and the usual VitD and Folic Acid once a day. The month I got my BFP was also the first month of OH taking wellman conception which probably is just coincidence but think it helped him psychologically by thinking he was doing something to help!

@Katao no I didn’t mean you’ve worried me just that I’m worried now! I’ve just been googling and it would seem the b6 is the most likely culprit it came up with loads of women saying it gave them crazy long LP. So they’ll teach me then and I think I’ll just have to wait it out now and I’ve probably messed up my cycle for a while now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Kirky658 · 24/10/2020 13:56

@laceymermaid don't beat yourself up about it hun I'm sure we all try things we are desparate to work and sometimes they just don't. ❤️

LaceyMermaid · 24/10/2020 13:59

@Kirky658 ah thanks, could kick myself but never mind it’s a lesson learnt! I should be more cautious like @Katao 😉

lucyrp · 24/10/2020 14:08

@Minster2012 yeah they were completely open when they got here. the parcel was flat and i was like what on earth is that i haven't ordered anything other than tests and it can't be them. opened it and completely open and the tests even fell out the box 🙄

@Katao i never hope too much 🤣 not anymore anyway but we'll see. x

Mrsbear1122 · 24/10/2020 14:28

@Juno231 can you put me down for 28th Nov for testing, not sure how messed up my cycle will be after CP, but hoping it'll be back to normal-ish but 28th would be few days after due date, planning to not test early this time around

Franklydear · 24/10/2020 14:36

Hi, I just catch up on a few pages, what’s with the speed!
@lucyrp do complain, it’s just not right
@Minster2012 the gear stick? 🙈
I can’t remember everyone to tag, soz
Still on af, 3rd day, very light by now, but much heavier than the few last ones, so longer cycles, and heavier af, we might be onto something, only that now, we ( please read I) need to decide how long to keep trying for, I am 43, and very little chance to give birth before 44 now, only one more cycle.... I’ll take opinions, if you are offering

Vil10 · 24/10/2020 14:41

@lucyrp oh definitely!! Are you going to try them??

@Minster2012 hahahha thankyou, I feel such an adult raving over a front door😂

Florence13 · 24/10/2020 14:49

@lucyrp I would definitely complain about that!! They shouldn’t be open.

@Vil10 love that door we need a new one also!!

@Minster2012 thanks hun

@Juno231 my testing date should be 2nd November going to try and hold off until then.

lucyrp · 24/10/2020 14:49

@Vil10 yeah i ordered some last night j was going to start taking them when they arrived but going to wait until AF i think which should hopefully be in 10 days time which will make this cycle 55 days which has gone longer than last time 😫

Juno231 · 24/10/2020 14:49

@missgoldilocks oops I'm so sorry! On the list now at least 😅

@minster2012 I specifically mentioned you cause you tagged me yday to say you'll still be on the bus but won't have a date until Feb 🤣

Katao · 24/10/2020 15:19

@LaceyMermaid really? I've been on a high dose of b6 all along (not for ttc) and dont think its affected my lp. I mean my cycles are all over the place but they are short recently so can't be making my lp linger really can it? And from the couple of positive opks i got my lp was definitely 12 days.

LaceyMermaid · 24/10/2020 15:22

@Katao yes I found loads of people online saying it - who knows though! I only took it for about 10 days 100 my a day. Could be the soy. Who knows! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Minster2012 · 24/10/2020 15:44

@Vil10 we've all gotta grow up sometime! My SIL has just bought a house and she's like "I thought you were dead boring with your housey stuff before now I understand your house porn I can't get enough of it 😂"

@Franklydear do you need to put and end on it? 45 maybe. 60. Join me for some gearstick fun. Why do you think your periods have got longer & heavier?

Katao · 24/10/2020 15:54

@Franklydear (hope this doesn't sound rude, can't think how to phrase it😬) you are already in the older mother bracket. will giving birth before 44 really make much difference than giving birth after 44? It won't really up any risks or anything as such. I think if it's what you want then keep trying. Would you look back and regret it if you draw a line under it? All of this said kindly please understand 🥰

Katao · 24/10/2020 15:58

@LaceyMermaid that's a pretty high dose, I'd be careful as too much can cause nerve damage.

AmesK · 24/10/2020 16:00

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone as you've all been so supportive! Started tagging people but it became an endless list :D

Sorry I've not managed to reply over the last couple of days, have been taking some time away from all things TTC related as have been feeling pretty grim but I love and appreciate all of you and just wanted to make sure that you know that. Your support means everything xxx

lucyrp · 24/10/2020 16:04

@Franklydear my opinion is do whatever makes you happy! as @Katao said there's not going to be any extra risks going forward! if it's whag you really want then why not keep ttc 💓

Franklydear · 24/10/2020 16:28

@Minster2012 well, I don't know if I'll be able to survive the baby days, on the invitation, I might be too vanilla for you, já boom! ,🤣
@Katao you frased it ver nicely, we started last November and thought we'll try for a year, whatever happened, I really thought it would have by now, and now I have to reconsider, I suppose down to risk it wouldn't make any difference, I guess I am struggling with the deadline coming up as I really do want another, same to @lucyrp
@AmesK they really are a fantastic bunch of women, aren't they?
