Hey ladies, had a couple of months away from MN and tried the whole being relaxed approach and still nothing. Having a really hard time as everyone around me seems to be pregnant 😔 I'm super happy for them but I'm getting sick of hearing 'it'll be your turn soon'!!

In the tww and it's agonising!!

Looking for anything to take my mind off it xx

@Ladybug06

Trying to conceive at 42. First pregnancy was a surprise & sadly ended Jan 2020 at 15 weeks due to trisomy18. Haven’t had any luck ttc for 11 months. Currently trying to improve egg quality by taking conception vits & 300mg ubiquinol. I’ve eased off extra vit D whilst it’s sunny & need to be consistent with omega 3. Been using the CB ovulation sticks & will try pre-seed next cycle.
Sorry your going through a hard time keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx
Laurenxx94 · 11/06/2021 18:41

@KM11 hey!
Sorry your feeling a bit overwhelmed. Are you trying OPKS and any vitamins to help? Xxx

Twochews78 · 11/06/2021 18:47

@Willow1982 I think my app is a liar and I’m maybe 7/8 dpo. I didn’t take tests and I missed 5 days worth of temps. The only sign I had was cm which was on day 9 and I’m not sure if that means you are ovulating that day or that you will be?! Not holding out much hope. It’s mad that we’re in such different places 🤣 I hope you’re feeling chilled this month. Do you think you have things sussed this month? A wee break will be lovely! xx

Twochews78 · 11/06/2021 18:50

Hiya @Ladybug06 I’ve just turned 43 and have 2 children 10 years apart. My youngest was born when I was 41. I’ve been trying for 3 months and have just recently started taking 300mg of Ubiquinol. I’m taking extra vitamin D too. Good luck!

KM11 · 11/06/2021 18:50

@Laurenxx94 hey, yeah I've been taking folic acid and vit d since October. I use the CB advanced digital and also the easy at home opks and they always match up so I definitely ovulate and dtd lots around ovulation so I'm a bit stumped?!? I know it can take a while and it's only been 6 months but worry creeps in everytime AF arrives. Xx

Ladybug06 · 11/06/2021 18:57

@KM11 oh yes I certainly know that feeling! Wish there was an off button switch as its such a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m in the 2ww too but don’t feel optimistic due to all the stress & worry that comes with ttc

purpleskyssssss · 11/06/2021 19:04

Hey @KM11 I am the same as you been taking folic acid and vid d and since October - I'm in month 7 of ttc - I also use clear blue and easy at home ovulation sticks and they match up! So I defiantly feel you when you say worry creeps in every time AF shows, it's hard isn't it when you just don't know. I'm from England so have to wait 1 year until any checks can be done.

I have tried grapefruit juice this cycle up until ovulation, preseedand pineapple core while in 2WW 🤣 also temping this month which gave my clarity that I am defiantly ovulating as I had a spike in my temp.

I feel ok this month currently 4DPO and haven't thought too much about it, that being said it's still early, I have had a super busy week and have for the rest of the month so hopeful that May keep my mind of it, I think keeping busy is the only thing that helps me

Ladybug06 · 11/06/2021 19:23

@Laurenxx94 Thanks for the good wishes, it’s very much appreciated.

@Twochews78 Glad to hear you’re ttc, it’s all about egg quality for us ‘oldies’. Certainly adds more pressure when the biological clock is ticking! I’ve been taking ubiquinol for the past 2 months & hopefully it’s working! Good luck

KM11 · 11/06/2021 19:32

@Ladybug06 and @purpleskyssssss thanks for the reply. It's so nice to talk to others who feel the same. Some days I'm very chilled then others I have really irrational thoughts, it's such a roller-coaster xx

AlmostLondoner · 11/06/2021 20:30

Hi ladies. Looks like my ovulation is just not coming. I think I also have short luteal phase 😤 I've started to do conception yoga according to YogaYin (on youtube), taking some extra vitamins and CBD. Hoping my cycle will get into normal 🥺

Could you have possibly O early? How long are your cycles xx
KSmith94 · 11/06/2021 20:55

@AlmostLondoner I'd test earlier next cycle as some people ovulate early, mine used to be around day 9 or day 10, hopefully you'll get you BFP soon x

purpleskyssssss · 11/06/2021 21:05

@AlmostLondoner keep testing, I had the same last month - I usually ovulate day 14-16, they was all very low, then I got a 'peak' (which then changed to high) on CD24 which quickly went to low the next day - but was not as dark as usually is, I really felt like just shoving the test in the bin but I kept testing as and day 29 I got my real peak!

timeisnotaline · 12/06/2021 02:01

@AlmostLondoner this looks particularly relevant for you! I’ve been doing opks since cd5 (now cd28) to make sure I didn’t miss it if it came at a weird point and got absolutely nothing, as per pic. Then I did a pregnancy test today and positive -2nd pic. It took a long time to get enough wee to do the frer to make sure! Now I’m going to get my blood test to see if I’m ovulating… I thought about just not going but it measures hcg too and might be useful. So you definitely don’t know for sure from the opks. I’m reeling a bit!

@Laurenxx94 @ksmith94

My cycles are now around 33-35 days. Last time I think I ovulated around day 23 and period came on day 33. I didn't have EWC mucus until 22nd day so I don't think I've been ovulating early. 🤔 With my first I had Ovulation on day 19 but I was doing bbt so I knew exactly.

Covid really messed up my cycles 🤦‍♀️ never been this long before. Will keep testing of course although I had some ewc mucus yesterday 🤷

Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ maybe I just have weird pee 😅

timeisnotaline · 12/06/2021 05:39

Then so do I- i never got even a half strength like on the opk , it was so frustrating doing them every day for nothing!

Fiep · 12/06/2021 06:26

@timeisnotaline congratulations on your bfp!!!

justwant2beamum · 12/06/2021 07:11

Congrats @timeisnotaline

Twochews78 · 12/06/2021 07:28

@timeisnotaline congratulations!! Great news. xx

Greymalkin12 · 12/06/2021 07:57

So sorry for introducing myself like this, this is a positive isnt it? It's my third pregnancy in three consecutive cycles with the firat two ending as miscarriages so its messing with my mind!

Greymalkin12 · 12/06/2021 08:02

Congrats @timeisnotaline!

SkeletonSkins · 12/06/2021 08:02

@timeisnotaline wow congratulations, just goes to show that we can’t totally rely on opks! Amazing news.

@AlmostLondoner if you’ve had some EWCM then fingers crossed you’ll get a nice strong peak over the next day or so.

@Greymalkin12 that definitely looks positive to me!
