Looking for TTC Buddy. 'March 21'🥰

[Lizbb]

Hi guys just a bit about me. I'm 36, have 2 kids at 3 & 5. Came off the pill in Nov and fell pregnant in Dec but MC in jan. Not sure my system was ready at that time. 🤷‍♀️. I'm ready to try again. Have my ovulation set for March 7. My first month TTC after a MC in Jan. I'm CD2 and will keep testing till I hit that peak 🙏. Welcome journey stories till we get that bfp. 😊

[quote Lizbb]@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise yea thinking of buying the ubiquinol. It's not cheap lol. Is it possible to have a period and not ovulate? How do you know you were ovulating hun?[/quote]
I chart my bbt and I use OPKs. I'm usi3yhr easy@home ones this cycle and have been really impressed with them. I've always used the one step cheapies but these are definitely better. Since taking the supplements I get fertile cervical mucus too (but I also use preseed, just be be on the safe side!)

It was portion size and recognising I was actually hungry for me. And weighing everything. I was eating probably twice as much as I needed and not realising. Once I'd trained my brain into smaller portions and shrunk my stomach a bit its been OK. I did give up bread entirely for the first eight weeks though too.

@dippyegg32 welcome and good luck. Same with first time trying since mc in jan. Pray this is our month. 🙏🧸.

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise hey hun how are you. Had creamy cum today and I read it when estrogen levels start to increase before ovulation which is positive. Yea just put the £land strips ro one side and gonna a use the easy@home. When it picks up will test with cb. Yea that's exactly that. Training your body and mind.2nd day with the fasting and I'm barely hungry at 11 30 lol I'm doing it from after 7pm to after 11am. Will hop on the scale for a 1 wk check on sunday. 🙂

Sorry if I missed anyone. How you guys doing, any update, changes, progress, stories. 😀❤
Update from me, I've just started bbt to make sure I actually ovulate after the mc in jan. Still taking my vits but added cq one. Using 3 apps(all have given o date today and tomorrow, one did say yesterday but reading was low so they aren't far off). Just had a high reading on my easy@home strips and a static smiley face on cb. Also have white come(almost literally dripping out) sorry TMI 😷. Shall be having fun with hubby l8r. Look forward to hearing from you guys l8r.

@Lizbb yay for positive opk! Hope you got busy with it 😂

I'm not too bad, I'm on cd12, flashing smileys! AF was awful and lasted ten days, hoping that the soy isoflavones will bring O forward this month so I'm not waiting until day 20 to ovulate!

Brilliant news lizbb have at it

I'm 6dpo now. From premom predictions anyway. I'll attach my chart. I ovulated a week earlier than usual which was a lovely surprise, CD 18 rather than 25. So hoping that's the CoQ10 and vitamin E etc doing the trick.

With my Chemical pregnancy cycle my temp rose till cd11 when I got a faint bfp and then it started to fall from cd12 until AF arrived.

How is everyone?

@Lizbb
Hey, hope BBT goes ok. Which apps are you using? Yay for smiley face today. Good luck.
I started doing my OPK today on CD9 and ive got a peak static face straight away which is unusual for me. Normally i peak around CD15/16. I normally have a few days of flashy before peak. We are going to try and do the SMEP plan from today. However not sure whether ive missed some of the window now. Ive also been having stomach cramps and a small bit of brown discharge first thing this morning, so im not sure whats going on. Xx

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise that's a really good chart I've noticed my past 2 cycles that bbt works to confirm ovulation for me but it doesn't indicate AF is coming, my temp continues to stay high or even rise until about 3 days into my period, which is strange!

@fifi1086 Last cycle and this one are the first "full" cycles I've temped in, so I'll be interested to see what happens whether my temp rises or falls. I didn't even notice last cycle that my temp was steadily declining because I was so focused on my tests not getting any darker. How are you feeling now AF is over?

Hi 👋 jumping on from from a Feb thread after AF rudely made an appearance last week. Currently TTC #1, 3rd cycle after coming off the pill in January. 1st cycle - 23 days, 2nd - 26 days so who knows what this one will be like! AF only lasted 2 days this time though which was weird, usually 5 day's with a couple of spotting days afterwards - wondering if the shorter period will mean I'll have a shorter cycle this month 🤔. Going to try OPK's this month, any idea what day I should start?

@Fifi1086 so sorry babe as if af isnt a headache already, 20 days is a longggg time😱. Do you think soy isoflavones is making the af a painful experience. 🤞your ovulation dates are pushed forward. Keep me posted x

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise hiya 🤞this time its a bfp and it sticks. From what I've learnt your chart looks positive

@Fizzybelts hiya first time tracking wo using 3 apps. Glow. Premo and fertility friend. Love the groups and what u can learn as well. Do you use bbt to track. Maybe ur hormone levels were high and there was no need for the smiley face. Have u changed any vits, medication

@Bee44 hello to you to 😃. One can not predict when they are gonna ovulate. Unless they have previous stats and an awareness. When you purchase an opk it will say when u should start depending on your cycle. For me I came off the pill nov, fell pregnant dec but mc jan. So I did the opk test everyday after af to monitor as I wasnt sure when I was fertile cos I love been on the pill since my dd who is now 3 yrs. Did you change or use anything new that will cause ur period days to reduce.

@Lizbb
Thanks for the reply.
No ive never tracked that. Is this is your first time?
Yes possibly, not sure why im cramping though.
Ive added primrose oil tablets thats the only change ive made. Perhaps i should stop that.

@Fizzybelts hey I have 2 kids already 3 and 5. Wanna try get one more in lol. But first time with all this tracking. When I had the other 2 I was in my early 30s and didnt even plan them. Tbh I may be able to just take in as it happen that way in Jan but just wanna track and see things as I've never done this before. Lol. Were you prescribed the med or just decided to take? I've read some pp take some pills without it being needed etc and it causes problems. Did the doc say 10days of af is normal? Are they heavy or medium.

@Lizbb
Thats lovely. Such good ages for a sibling too. Yes of course, im sure it will all work out just fine.
No, i saw they recommend them for helping with cervical fluid, ive only taken them over the last week but ill stop them now just incase its that.
My AF is only 3 days hun, more light/medium. Not that heavy at all really. X

Light pink spotting now when i wipe 😕 who knows whats going on. X

@Fizzybelts hey surely it cant be af as you have just finished it and your now cd12. Weird maybe speak to gp

@Fizzybelts a bit of research is found on line about spotting between/after period.

@Lizbb
I know its strange. Im only CD9. Its very on and off and only when I wipe. Cramps still there. Ill have a read. Thankyou x

@Lizbb sorry to hear of your MC. I think I'll use the OPK's from tomorrow and see how I get on, it'll probably be evening time though as I understand I can't use FMU and I have to have a 3 hour hold - I drink loads of water so this may be difficult 😅. Not changed anything at all so unsure why it ended so soon, I'll take it though as it just means we can start DTD earlier 😂

@Bee44 lol yea same love my liquid. Just try even if it's for 3 hours or just drink less through those hour. That's what I do. I test twice a day 11am and around 7-8pm. Keep me posted.

Hi everyone how are we all doing today? Anyone in the tww? I'm cd13 today and I have some blood tinged cm which I've never had before. It's not 'bleeding' if that makes sense, it's only in the cm. I'm hoping it's indicating a strong O is on the way but still on flashing smileys!

@Fifi1086 hey hun. Maybe that could be it. I'm sure the body goes through changes around Ovulation. I'm cd 15. My peak was yesterday using easy@home strip and temp gone up a bit. The strip are still showing my levels are high so on to dtd again 😂. Inside my lower abdomen was feeling so weird but no bleeding still ewcm. I've just started paying attention to all these symptoms now lol.

@Lizbb it's funny how much you learn about your body and cycle when you're ttc! Great you're at peak - as my DP just said, if in doubt hop on 😂😂😂

I ovulated cd20 last month so I took soya isoflavones this month to try bring it forward as I've 29 day cycles so I'm really hoping it works!

@Lizbb good luck i hope its your month.
I got my BFP on Friday, and haven't been back on here since. I couldn't believe it and I've been a nervous wreck since as I'm cramping quite a lot.
Good luck to everyone , hope you all get your BFPs soon x
