Please add anybody I've missed off!

@ChinChilly Well done xx I have been trying to call my surgery all morning, but they are not answering! Grr!

Hmm... OK, your opinions are swaying me towards option A. I'll blame you both if i'm pushing a baby out on Christmas day instead of tucking into my pigs in blankets haha!

blame you three! @MissC07* you're not getting away with it

@Kay00 I agree, option A. All going well, you'd curse us when crowing on xmas eve but you'd forgive us when you had your baby in arms!

@Kay00 I agree with @TheDaydreamBelievers I feel like this could be a thing now 😂😂 my GP surgery were pretty efficient emailed me back with an appointment within the hour except it isn’t until the 24th march 🙄

@LauraT94 thank you and congratulations on your digital too ❤️❤️

@Kay00 it just means you could be doing things like this!! Super cute

@Juno231 awww, yes, that is super cute!

@Emmgrem sorry just read your post! It’s always the way when your house is up for sale and there’s no offers you see all the nice houses and they get snapped up quickly when it comes to our turn there’s no decent houses on the market 😂😂. I’m looking everyday for new houses that come on the market like a crazy person but it’s taking my mind off TTC!

CD3 for me and I have had quite a heavy flow which is unusual but maybe they are just settling after contraception it’s been over 6 months but my cycles are so out of whack.... it was CD22 then a period came the next day. So far I haven’t had a regular pattern so I can’t go for day 3 or 21 bloods...the Dr wants them done on the same cycle and once I can predict how long my cycles are.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to suddenly just pop up but I’ve been reading through all your posts and it’s so nice knowing that I’m not the only one struggling with messed up cycles and not ovulating after coming off the pill 😂 congratulations @glow92 and @LauraT94 on your BFP’s and I’m so sorry @ChinChilly on your CP, it must be awful 😔
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Conceive Plus ovulation support capsules and the fertility support ones? I’ve just had a bottle of each delivered to me today but I’ve only just had my first ever positive OPK and I’m on cycle day 35 so I’m not sure whether to start taking the capsules or not? It’s all so confusing!

@chloerobinson97 Welcome!!

Congrats in your first +OPK! Hopefully you will ovulate in the next day or two... make sure you jump your man 😘

I think it would be fine to take either the fertility or ovulation support at any point in your cycle, just stop taking your usual pre natal vitamin.

@Chloerobinson97 thank you, I can’t help with the conceive Plus I’m afraid, I just take seven seas TTC.

Wow my hormones are on a whole new level today, almost cried earlier because every traffic light I hit was red, unbelievable 😂

@Kay00 @ChinChilly thank you! I tested again at 6pm and it was even darker than the one i done earlier so I done a clear blue ovulation test and got a static smiley! Such a good feeling!

@chinchilly I’m so sorry to hear about your chemical lovely ☹ that’s so so shit. Def agree with @Cams50 about trying to speak to a Dr. I really hope you’re doing okay today and are looking after yourself.

@Kay00 late voter here but option a!! Does soy iso help with late ovulation?? Should I add it to my daily cocktail!? Hmm it’s quite powerful isn’t it? Have you tried B6 and agnus castus at all? That’s what I’m trying this cycle. Hope you’re okay xxx

@Juno231 second the suggestion that you get a job in BBT. I don’t know if that’s a thing but if it is you absolutely need to be CEO.

Hi ladies! I don’t think I’ve posted on this latest dance yet but can I just say I absolutely lolled at the title and intro, absolutely top notch. Also love how we’re on 9 pages already!!

I FINALLY got my period after my ERPC. Day 52. Wow. Trying to put that mess behind me now and focus on this fresh cycle. Currently CD6 after a nice 4 day period. Taking B complex with added D, B6, agnus castus and folic acid in an attempt to bring ovulation forward and lengthen my luteal phase. It was 11 days last cycle which is a lottt better than the 8 day one I had in October (some of you may recall my breakdown…) so I’m happy with that.

Also doing HITT workouts 3 x a week (WHO AM I THOUGH) and trying to look forward and not obsess too much. Easier said than done but I need to focus on living my life. Apart from that I’m eating normally and drinking, albeit only on weekends, but haven’t really gone too crazy as I’d be miserable. Need to order some decaf coffee for my Dulce Gusto but I only have 1 a day anyway so don’t think it’s too bad. Obviously will be ordering pineapple and brazil nuts for the TWW. Also going to try to BD every day over my FW. Ooh and I splurged and bought advanced clear blue OPK!! What’s £30 when you’ve already spent the amount I have on OPKs, pregnancy tests and vitamins???

Sorry that was just a rambling trail of my thoughts but it was good to get it out. Sending love to you all xxxxx

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all doing okay,
Had my doctors app today, the doctor was a lovely female so that's always a relief when you get someone nice haha, tbh it was quite positive really.
So I have to give my body 3 more months, she said even though my periods are abit all over - so my last one was a 35 day cycle, 7 days late and it was very light and only lasted 2 days she said it's positive that I am having some sort of period, she said some people have nothing atall so aslong as I'm getting something every month it's not anything to majorly worry about, but she did say in 3 months she'll give me a blood test to check my hormones. I've been having blood when I wipe after having sex (has anyone else?) so I've got to book in again tomorrow to have an examination & my smear is due this year so she said she'll do the examination in the meantime to that coming around - I'm thinking it's a hormonal imbalance of some sort, I'm sure I've had something similar years ago.
So I'm being positive that I'm on a slow but steady path towards being somewhat regular or normal haha but I've not experienced any crazy hormones or anything just lots and lots and lots of spots! But hey, fun fact.. did you know hormones affect your eyes? 👀
Since Saturday I've had one extremely watery eye, so I went to the opticians today and I have one very intensely dry eye (but having dry eyes make them water like you've just watched my sisters keeper 🙄) I'm a contact lenses user and she said it happens a lot with them but I've used them for 5 years and never had any problems and she asked if I had had any hormone changes? I said well funny you should say that, I've been a bit all over.. she said well there's your cause
So yeah, how strange! I'm sure we're all in the same boat but are you not surprised daily on how our bodies actual work after it being masked for so long because of them nasty pills?! 😂😂

@TheHotelCalifornia ahh nice to hear from you, sounds like you’re doing well!! I’m ok, I flit from being really positive that I know I can get pregnant to being really upset about it! I’ve booked a GP appointment today but it isnt until 24/03. I’m hoping to take a leaf out of your book and focus on living my life and not obsessing too much, it’s so easy to get sucked in by it all things TTC. Let us know how you get on with the CB OPK.

@TheHotelCalifornia heya! Lovely to see you pop up on the thread ❤️

The tsunami of emails has started again MN notifications 😒 need to go into my account on the laptop tomorrow to see if I can deactivate them as they are clogging up my inbox!

CD16 here and still no peak on OPK test strips. There is a secondary line appearing but it's v faint. Will keep BD'ing and hope something happens ❤️✨

Hi ladies! Sorry have been v quiet, have been trying to limit my MN time to 1 quick read a day in an effort to stop obsessing about TTC so much.

@LauraT94 congratulations! Amazing news!

@ChinChilly was gutted to read about your CP, hope you're doing okay

Could I ask some chart advice from you wise chart guru's? Do you think I ovulated on day 15? Temp has gone up past two days but only really to my baseline as have never had such a dip before. In previous month I got a really clear temp rise up and knew I'd ovulated straight away. This month my FP temps seem to have been higher in general so I wonder whether that's thrown it off. I did have a CP last month, but I'm not sure how that would have impacted anything. Suspect it's going to be an annoying wait and see situation! If it is O, it's a fairly slow temp rise... does that mean I have a bad quality egg? Or does it not really matter how strong the rise is as long as temp continues to go up?

Hoping did O, as OH is so stressed at work at the mo so don't want to have to pressure him to DTD later today!

Current chart and last months chart attached for reference.

Thanks for any advice!

I’ve noticed most of you do temping.

I just do OPKs and I’ve been able to detect a surge every month. But you do you think I should be temping as well?

I don’t know much about it tbh

@TheHotelCalifornia I take a B complex, folic, and vitamin D too! Im also sort of considering Conceive Plus Ovulation Support like @Chloerobinson97.

@Tillybabs So, the pre-pregnancy midwife Ive been allocated to said she would only recommend temping if you have long whacky cycles like me, with ovulation timepoint a mystery. If you have normal lengths, get positive OPKs only at one point in a cycle, then its maybe more stress than its worth.

@abi555 I had a slow rise after O this cycle but obvs it ender in CP, I can’t imagine it makes much of a difference aslong as it goes up but I’m no expert!!

Wierd...my GP surgery called me first thing and asked if I could come in today for my blood test instead of the 23rd 🤔

@TheDaydreamBelievers ok thanks that makes sense. I think since I am getting positive opks I will just stick to those.

@TheHotelCalifornia I’ve been doing lots of workouts since lockdown. Although from next month when it’s around possible implantation time I’m going to do low impact ones just as a precaution.

Talking about vitamins. At the moment I’m taking folic acid, vitamin D, Vitamin C and Co-Enzyme Q10.

I’ve also bought the pregnacare ones but unsure whether to take them after reading it has messed with some peoples cycles.

@Tillybabs if you're comfortable with OPKs then stick with them I think! Most of us temp because we were either sick of second guessing OPKs (pre temping I was always convinced I'd missed my surge for instance but then I think I had cycles where I actually stopped doing them too soon and probably missed ovulation) or because are cycles are so wonky that we get multiple surges in a cycle and don't know which ones result in ovulation.

@Melissaq94 spotting after BD is pretty common! It's called cervical erosion but the GP always has to investigate it just in case it's something more sinister. Glad you had a nice GP and I'm so intrigued by hormonal changes affecting the eyes!!

@TheHotelCalifornia lovely to hear from you! Amazing about HIIT x3 a week, you're putting me to shame . Glad to see you back in the game though and I'm sure you'll see another BFP in no time.

@mrsmacmc I'm still waiting for the flood of emails, I think it might kill my inbox when it does arrive

Well I'm 11DPO and my temp has dropped to near the cover line and my RHR has continued to drop (down to 67 from a TWW high of 74). I might even get AF tomorrow at this rate which would give me my first 11 day LP since August.

I've been cross with OH this morning. He left the side gate unlocked so the storm ripped it apart. The builders yday seem to have taken our hammer as well so that's another extra cost. Plus his stupid pull up contraption over the dining room doorway fell on my head and I've realised it's been digging holes into the architraves. Oh and the trial pits ordered by OH have done more damage than necessary I think! Eg. they cut a ceiling hole but instead of moving it an inch to the right it's gone straight through the cornicing so that will now have to be replaced - and the builders told us what nice floorboards we have upstairs and how we should restore them... well gee thanks for not just lifting them up then but using a SAW to create the trial pit!!

Chart for reference - sorry for the triple post!
