@KerryW87 – Argh I totally missed your message about the good news from the SA call! I'm so pleased for you both, and it must be such a huge relief! I didn't know stickiness could even be an issue?! Glad the ball is rolling for you guys to rectify it!
Haha I'm clueless about BBT as well!
@Akcheer – Oh no :'( I'm so sorry. Has AF come yet? It's so annoying, just wish it would happen already now! Hubby will disappointed for a bit just like you are, but this will be a brand new cycle and a brand new opportunity for you to have another go. Me and DH agreed that when we feel like shit when AF comes, we do something nice together that evening, like do a puzzle or play a game or something. Last time, we did some mindful colouring together and it was soo addictive and peaceful!
Ooh, and about the pre-natal vitamins, I have decided to stop taking the Seven Seas tablets. There is review after review online about them messing with peoples' cycles/O days and reports of people suffering with heightened AF symptoms – I wish I did some research before buying them! Before them, I used the Boots brand vitamins which were fine so I think I'm going to use them again. I only got the Seven Seas ones because they were slightly cheaper!
Oh, I baked last weekend as well! Mini eggs cookies from Jane's Patisserie – I absolutely love her haha! I've been doing more yoga as well, I love a good full body stretch flow.
@JLP256 – Thank you! Looking forward to the next appointment now! Although I'm usually like a human colander because they can never seem to get my pesky tiny veins haha! But it's all worth it :)
I'm sorry you haven't yet had a positive OPK..that's really odd, but I think I agree with you that it's these vitamins that are probably doing it. What brand of supplements are you taking?
@Lynne425 – 10 mile walk sounds v tiring, but amazing!
I take Seven Seas 'Trying for a Baby' tablets, high strength Vitamin D, cod liver oil and also turmeric tablets. Vitamin D supposedly helps with tiredness and (I think) mood!
@Rose – Good luck with your bloods result! Did you make the call yet to get the result?
Oh no I am so sorry AF arrived. I hope you're feeling ok. If the cycles were a bit more regular/normal it might help a little bit to keep track of everything?! I'm guessing this will change the day that you have your Day 21 bloods taken? What's your average cycle length?
Ugh I wish I was a keen gardener, or even a half-decent one haha! It sounds like you have a beautiful garden!!! I love a bit of lavender. Last summer I potted some lavender with the correct soil/grit etc (after watching numerous instructional YouTube videos) and then October-time I trimmed the tops off, and they still look dead. I thought I'd watched enough videos to get it right! Ah well, hopefully they'll start looking a tiny bit more alive when it gets hotter.
I agree – meal planning is the best thing to do if trying to be good! Plus it saves me from standing around in the kitchen every evening wondering what to cook. Yes I love cooking! We recently got an airfryer so I'm loving playing around with that atm. I have quite a bit of plain flour to use up before the date expires soon so I'll be baking lots of cookies too! Lol the treats are what keeps us going so I don't blame you for trying to savour every last crumb haha!
@jules5232 – I'm so glad your scan went well! Hearing the heartbeat just sounds so exciting!!! Was your hubby allowed to be in there with you? Good luck at your next appointment :D
Girls, I've decided to stop taking Seven Seas 'Trying for a Baby' tablets because I've gone from having hardly any AF symptoms to feeling mentally and physically AWFUL, and for 2 weeks before AF starts. I looked at the Conceive Plus tablets online, and I think they look good. Has anyone used them before? Anyone have any opinions on any other brand? I'd love to see what you have to say about them :) Thank you xxxx
