@apwilso how many dpo are you ? Is there a chance you could have ovulated later than you expected? x

apwilso · 13/03/2021 09:18

@1992EM not sure it's the month I didn't test. I don't think I ovulated later than usual though and I've never had a period this late before. I'm not overly bothered at the minute so I'll leave it and see what happens xx

1992EM · 13/03/2021 09:30

@apwilso fingers crossed ❤

Hi everyone back after another cycle and I’m 5po and have no symptoms yet. This month (cycle 12) we used clear blue advanced ovulation kits, pre-seed and legs & hips in the air for 30mins @1992EM 😂

All my tests came back normal so if it doesn’t happen this month we think OH will have to go get tested.

One thing I’ve learnt this month is I wouldn’t buy the CB ovulation kits again because they’re really expensive and I used the Easy@Home ones at the same time and they were just as accurate so if anyone was deciding which to buy, I’d go for the cheaper ones.

@apwilso fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Tabbycat92 what vitamins are you taking? I’ve been taking iron, folic acid and b12 but I’ve no idea if there’s something else better you should be taking? There’s lots of pre-natal vitamins but I read they’re just overpriced?? 🤯

1992EM · 13/03/2021 10:25

@LRW26 fingers crossed 🤞 I wouldn't get too caught up on symptoms as I had none until the nausea started at 6 weeks. I took prenegacare but also took seven seas at one point too. Seven seas was pretty cheap . Vit D is another one which is needed so would maybe add that to the mix too . Good luck in your tww ❤

@lrw26 in taking:
Seven seas prenatal (cheapest)
Coq-10
Macca root
Turmeric
Calcium
Magnesium
Vitex (pre ovulation)

Hello ladies ❤️ I hope you are all well? I took a bit of break from here whilst I got my head in a better place. We are still trying this month, now using conceive plus lube and my partner taking macca root as well. I take seven seas too. We are not doing opks or temp. Just going with my normal cycle... less pressure and bulking DTD around one week.
We have now officially been referred- just waiting for a phone call to book the initial appointment. I'm anxious but pleased things are moving forward. Any ideas what to expect at the first appointment? Xxx

apwilso · 14/03/2021 18:04

@laura2093 that's what this month for me was. I stopped testing etc due to getting obsessed. I recommend the conceive plus vitamins apparently there miracle tablets?! I'm just still waiting to see it there done there but😂

I can't comment on referrals as I've done not that yet. But I've got my fingers crossed it all goes well x

laura2093 · 14/03/2021 18:55

@apwilso thankyou! Hope this month is the one for you! I might try the tablets next month! Xxx

apwilso · 14/03/2021 21:37

@laura2093 let me know if you do and I'll let you know how it goes! What day of your cycle are you on?x

Tabbycat92 · 15/03/2021 06:46

Has anyone ever had a bbt chart like this? I've got my dip and rise for ovulation, but by now my temp has risen up around 98 (you can see from last months), but it's still kicking around 97.7. I'm worried I may not have ovulated, even though I had positive opks

laura2093 · 15/03/2021 07:21

@apwilso cycle day 13 today 'predicted ovulation'. See what happens!! X

apwilso · 15/03/2021 13:02

@Tabbycat92 I don't record my temp. I'd go off the opks to be honest as I think that's more reliable.

@laura2093 fingers crossed

6 days late me at the minute. Negative tests. Constantly bloated. Extremely tired. Nauseous on the weekend. Lower back ache. But god knows

LRW26 · 16/03/2021 13:57

@apwilso I’ve read some people don’t get a positive test for a while so you’re not out until AF shows. Hope this month is your month.

I’m 8DPO and trying so hard not to test just because I know it’ll be negative and I’ll just drive myself insane 🤦🏻‍♀️

@laura2093 good to hear you've been referred and hopefully get some answers. Did your OH have to get any initial tests before you got referred?

@Tabbycat92 I’ve never done BBT but I would think you have ovulated if you’ve had positive OPKs?

apwilso · 16/03/2021 14:06

@LRW26 I'm out it came this morning 6 days late. Gutted. But we are looking into it further possible testing etc

LRW26 · 16/03/2021 14:37

@apwilso so sorry to hear AF turned up 😞 yes, definitely speak to your GP see what they can do for you. Look after yourself xx

laura2093 · 16/03/2021 19:21

@LRW26 hello, no so far he has only been for SA. Currently waiting on our initial phone call to book an appointment x

Tabbycat92 · 17/03/2021 18:41

Just depressed myself by doing a IC at 7dpo 😩 when will I learn... 😂

Not just any old IC either, this one was also 7 months out of date! 😂😂

DNpink82 · 17/03/2021 22:16

@Tabbycat92 I was just thinking of doing one in the morning at 8dpo 🙈 and on the bright side at least you not wasted a good one 🤷‍♀️🤣

Tabbycat92 · 17/03/2021 22:24

Haha that's true @DNpink82

I wouldn't recommend it! I'm forcing myself to wait until the weekend at least!

LRW26 · 18/03/2021 18:19

I just did an easy@home at 10dpo and it was stark white so just going to assume I’m out 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll never learn to just wait and not test.

@laura2093 I think my OH is going to ask to have a SA but he’s just a bit worried on how awkward it’s going to be. Sorry if you’ve mentioned before but how long had you been trying before they referred you?

Tabbycat92 · 18/03/2021 18:33

@LRW26 it's still early! You're not out yet. I know the feeling though ❤️

LRW26 · 18/03/2021 18:39

@Tabbycat92 I know but I just have a feeling like I know I’m out. I thought I saw a really faint line yesterday and though ‘oh it’s just early’ so was hoping I’d see it today but nothing. It’s so hard 😞 xx

Tabbycat92 · 18/03/2021 18:43

@LRW26 I know. I'm always convinced I can see a line 😩 I feel the same after testing negative yesterday at 7dpo, which I know is far too early. I just think I feel like it's never gonna happen now

LRW26 · 18/03/2021 18:47

@Tabbycat92 I know exactly how you feel. I know you’ve probably mentioned in the group but how long have you been TTC?

We used pre-seed this month (we’ve used conceive plus for months and it never did anything) so I really thought it might happen for us so it’s just so disheartening. Especially when you’re spending so much money every month on everything 🤦🏻‍♀️
