Anyone at the beginning of their cycle? Feb 18th

[StarL2021]

What will you be doing differently this month? How long have you been trying? Month 5 for us. I've been taking vitamin d, B6, vitamin c and Folic acid and using clear blue ovulation tests but sometimes they aren't accurate my EWCM is days before a positive test so I will try a different brand and chart too. I'm also
adding magnesium and COQ10 to my vitamins. (This probably won't work, but worth a try )

Hi! CD3 here, cycle 15. The main difference this cycle is having an HSG just before ovulation 😅. I'm hoping it'll do the trick!

For what it's worth, it's normal for EWCM to start 5 days or so before ovulation - would that line up with your tests?

@Juno231 ahhhh good luck! Hope this is the month for you

CD2 over here, cycle 8. This month we’ll be doing SMEP, using Pre-seed during fertile week and I’m going to add some Coq-10 to my supplements. Currently taking folic acid, vitamin D, omega 3 and vitamin C. Oh and drinking pomegranate juice after ovulation. I’m determined!

Yep! CD3, cycle 8 after losing our wee boy last summer. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING 😂😩 SMEP, OPKs, folic acid, omega 3 tablets up to ovulation, cough syrup, pineapple core 1-5dpo, hot water bottle on feet after ovulation....the works!

Trying temping this cycle to see if I can understand my cycles more!

Fingers crossed the HSG works for you! 🤞 Are you having it privately or NHS?

@Asthenia good luck. This is our 5th month. I've not hear about the pomegranate juice? What does this do?

Best of luck ladies. I’ve been taking COQ-10 for past month could be a coincidence but I ovulated much later than I normally would so be prepared. Currently only about 5DPO so don’t know if it’s helped but today I have what I think is very strong implantation cramps, Wowsa never had it this strong! Took my breath away. Best of luck this month

Hi @StarL2021 5th month could be a lucky one! I read that pomegranate juice thickens your womb lining so makes implantation more likely. Apparently they recommend drinking it after IUI(?) treatment so I thought I’d give it a go. I buy the POM juice which is pretty pricey at £4 a bottle but lots of people say it works for them, also it’s an antioxidant and full of vitamin C so can’t be bad either way!
@Gamechanger2019 I’ve heard this about coq10! Will be interesting to see if that just happens the first month or if it continues. I usually ovulate at day 21 anyway so wonder how much later it would make mine!

@Juno231 @Asthenia @KerryW87 @Gamechanger2019 how are you all doing?!

@StarL2021 plodding along. Another month another cycle, in 2 week wait now...you? I’ve booked some cycle tests with doctor, got first one next week.

Hey @StarL2021 I’m Ok! Currently on CD24, ovulated on CD21 so in TWW. Luckily slightly more distracted than usual as we’re moving this weekend. It’s stressful but it’s really nice to have something to focus on rather than whether I’m pregnant or not! How are you doing?

Oh and I’ve booked some acupuncture sessions for next month which is making me feel a lot more chilled.

@StarL2021 are you ok?xx

@Gamechanger2019 I'm 8/9 dpo. Tested today but bfn 😢. How about you? I have a teeny bit of spotting so think I may be out this month x

@StarL2021 keep the faith, could be implantation bleed and you’re still only early days. I’m only 7 DPO, but had my bloods taken today to check for a few things so 🤞🏼. I have started to take Vit C and Vit B Complex and so far no spotting for me. My cycles can be 25-30, and I generally spot a lot even when I was pregnant it happened. Positive thoughts going your way 🙌🏼

@Gamechanger2019 what did you have bloods for? Good luck 🤞🏽. Spotting is so annoying isn't it? You automatically think you are out. The vitamins sound great. I've been taking magnesium, coq10, b12 and vitamin c. Spotting is much milder so perhaps there is some hope x

@StarL2021 i tried coq10 but my LP didn’t push out and just seemed so short so stopped. Bloods to check for thyroid and progesterone levels. Have you had anything like that done?

The dreaded AF has arrived! Hope you are all lucky this month xx

@StarL2021sorry to hear that...roll on next month! I’m on 10DPO and started with strange discharge so think I’m out too but my boobs are quite sore, so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s sooo frustrating. Get yourself a nice glass of vino tonight x
