Ovulation/TTC continued

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@CShandy01 I take viridian's prenatal as I like their supplements and it is vegan friendly plus a DHA/ EPA omega 3 supplement (algae-derived). There is some evidence showing folic acid may slightly increase the length of the cycle by a couple of days (in some women) but it is soo important for preventing neural tube defects and also for egg quality- overall it's hugely important. When I look back at my app, the day I get the most EWCM is the day I ovulate usually but the amount of EWCM I get every month differs. Hydration also affects it so drinking lots of warm teas is helping me :)

@newtolineofduty I have started taking EPO and drinking pomegranate juice. I've tried to drink pink grapefruit but I really don't like it lol

@Aims1991 just make sure you stop the EPO once you've ovulated as it's not safe in pregnancy x yes the grapefruit juice is an acquired taste! X

@hoola23 @plantbasedlondoner @newtolineofduty I get really confused by the CM stuff. I've had EWCM a few times this cycle on and off but so far still no ovulation! 🤪

@MrsRosaline oh bless chick!! Which OPK's are you using?

Morning! I bring great news. CD30 and I have finally, finally received a peak LH and am about to ovulate!! I cannot tell you how happy I am. 😂 Now two weeks to my period and I can start trying again...

@CShandy01 I use Mira and Clearblue. With Mira you can see the exact levels, I'll put a screenshot.

@newtolineofduty yeah I will defo. Thanks. How are you keeping?

@MrsRosaline Thats great news. You must be relieved

@MrsRosaline Yey that's brilliant!!!!!!

@Aims1991 I'm good thank you-just the usual anxieties but just taking it one day at a time and counting down to my reassurance scan. Just 16 days!!! Need to keep busy! Feeling very rough but I like it as it feels like it's proof all is ok! Fingers crossed xxx

@MrsRosaline that's great news! Great to have such a clear sign and it makes it easier to look ahead :)

I have got lots of pink grapefruits in the house as DH loves them so might try eating them as a snack too since I'm about a week away from ovulation (hopefully)

@MrsRosaline yey!! Fantastic news 🙂🙂 that must have been a huge sigh of relief to see that chart!

@MrsRosaline hallelujah!!! I'm so happy for you!! I can't believe it's taken so long!! Now you can relax a bit and know everything is ok xx

How's everyone feeling this evening? Are we all feeling positive vibes? Xx

I have positive vibes for another positive for someone this month @CShandy01! Xxx

@newtolineofduty I completely agree with you chick! Genuinely feel like it's someone else's month this month 🙂🙂 not sure what it is but for the first time I actually feel so chilled about the whole thing of TTC and just want to enjoy the journey. Spreading baby dust everywhere!! Xx

Yey @CShandy01 that's exactly how I felt my BFP month!!!! That's brill x it's really hard to get to that place so that's great you have xxx

@newtolineofduty I think I also got to the point of what will be will be, and I am incredibly lucky to already have a wonderful DD. So I just enjoy all the moments I can because I know they go by so quickly as she grows up. As much as it would be nice to have another, it'll happen when it happens 🙂🙂 but like I said, I know I'm in a very fortunate position. Xx

@CShandy01 I could have written that myself!!!!!! Couldnt agree more! I'd started to come to terms with not having another and even the benefits of not having another! 😂 x

@newtolineofduty OMG YES!!! I was also starting to think how much more space we'd have in the house 😂 that was last month when I was telling myself I was alright with AF coming, but then I was definitely lying to myself to make it seem better. I think ever since AF has been and gone it's just been more positivity. I'm starting to wonder if my pregnacare has been spiked 🤣

@CShandy01 I said to my friends 'I need to get pregnant before I talk myself out of it!' 😂😂😂 x

You're in a brilliant place hun x

@CShandy01 evening, yeah positive vibes. Still love peak but roughly should be the weekend. I agree I feel this is defo someone else's month in here.

Still no peak today on CD12 so could be soon. Got some cramps todays, and loads of CM which is more creamy so hopefully next few days will be at my peak, feeling really good about this month. How's everyone doing

All good here thanks @Aims1991 think I'm around 4dpo but I really don't know for sure. Trying not to symptom spot, and quite frankly it's very easy since absolutely nothing is happening 😂😂

Love the positivity @Aims1991! You can relax for at least afew more days @CShandy01! Xxx

@newtolineofduty Ano but I feel I'm setting myself up for a fail!
