@LittleMysSister hmm inconclusive lol! I suppose it can't hurt to take extra vitamins so I think I'll start from tomorrow and keep an eye on it. Technically it would be better for me to fall pregnant in December due to the fact I've just started a new job 6 weeks ago but I really don't want to wait any longer!

Mummybearto3bg · 13/10/2021 16:35

My period was due sunday/Monday according to my app but I'm wondering if its not due until Friday. Let's just say its not due until Friday to keep it easy. Just now I've got a lot of slippery clear with some white discharge. Is this normal before a period? Its lovely not having periods for so long being on the pill but also makes you realise you know nothing! Going to take another test in the morning if AF doesn't show her face x

Lianna93 · 13/10/2021 16:36

@HRHXO I decided this month to take OPKs every day from CD5 because all my apps were giving me different dates & I had a really short cycle last month which completely threw me off.
Hoping you finally get your line 🀞🏻

I can't help but think how wonderful it'd be to fall this month & then announce on Christmas day to the family πŸ₯Ί

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 16:36

@Elsols93 thank you for your kind words. It has been hell tbh, but we're still standing somehow.

Ladies, I've been on the conception boards lomg enough to have learnt that the Pregnacare conception vitamins can and do mess up your cycles for a while. I'm taking Seven Seas Trying for a Baby but had twins twice whilst taking these so I'm a bit dubious to say the least. There's probably no link but I feel like I'm playing with fire!

Mummybearto3bg · 13/10/2021 16:39

Ps thanks for the tag in the new thread, had no idea you can fill a thread!! @danani

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 16:55

I heard that pregnacare conception messes you around as well as I started taking them for like 5 days, then read that and stopped. I’m now on vit D and pregnacare original. I do have just normal folic acid pills as well but not taking them at the moment.

Peauela · 13/10/2021 17:01

What happened here! In my defense work has been so busy I didn't have time to add much to your wonderful group. I can't believe you nearly filled up the other thread πŸ˜‚

I will continue peeking for those BFP which I'm sure are coming :) πŸ€

Not much to report here anyway, just waiting to get back into the game lol

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 17:09

@SammiStap may I ask why you're not taking folic acid?

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 17:17

I think I have period pains 😫 AF due Friday...

Elsols93 · 13/10/2021 17:31

Do we think slight cramping is a positive sign at 6dpo? Had it on and off all day tugging sensation?

lemons44 · 13/10/2021 18:03

I've been taking pregnacare for about 7 months and it hasn't messed with my cycles at all... but then I haven't got my BFP yet so maybe they just do nothing for me πŸ˜‚

Tefiti3 · 13/10/2021 18:13

Manifestating that this will be a lucky thread for everyone!! I think about 5po here and nothing happening out of the ordinary! Had some cramping yesterday which was far too early to be anything but TTC really gets your imagination going!

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 18:53

@Squiff70 I do as it’s in the pregnacare original. The recommended amount is in there plus the Vit D and others as well.

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 18:55

@Squiff70 it’s this one

beckybabyx · 13/10/2021 18:58

I was on the previous thread but been a bit quiet because of how busy I’ve been at work! Quite a welcome distraction though in the TWW Grin I’m 6dpo today and had some very strange stomach pains today, god knows what that is xx

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 19:03

@SammiStap ahhh I see. I think I was advised to take folic acid as well as those DURING pregnancy but I can't remember now. I'm due a review of medication with my GP so I'll ask him.

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 19:06

Ahh ok @Squiff70. When I was pregnant last time they put me on 5mg of folic acid as am slightly over my bmi. But these have the recommended amount and I got pregnant on them last time.
Yes do ask, be interesting πŸ˜€

cocoforbes · 13/10/2021 19:20

Mind if I join? I was lurking in the previous thread as I'm just restarting my ttc journey after an early miscarriage back in July but I hadn't reached my fertile window till now so had not a lot to contribute!! CD9 today and trying SMEP for the first time, DTD yesterday and feeling good for at least sticking to the first day but not sure we'll last! πŸ˜‚

I've been taking pregnacare conception for about a year now but I started taking it before I started tracking my cycles so not sure if they affected them. I feel like my cycles are more regular now though but I have no proof! I take extra vitamin D and fish oil too. I've noticed some mentions of brazil nuts and pomegranate juice too... is anyone trying to eat any particular foods?

Lovely seeing the BFPs, baby dust to all, hope there are many more!! πŸ€

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 19:23

I just cracked again and tested. Obviously a BFN. I held it for well over 4 hours too, unintentionally (been too busy). AF due Friday BUT test was out of date so it doesn't count, right? I'm so impatient so I'll do a FRER tomorrow morning. Not expecting a BFP at all now. Kinda deflated now....

BH1926 · 13/10/2021 19:25

2nd thread already πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

Thanks for the tag @Danani 😊

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 19:27

Oh @Squiff70 bless you. If it was out of date they might not work as well. Hopefully a FRER will work and give you the answer you want xx

Hi @cocoforbes welcome! I had a mmc in July as well so I know your pain πŸ˜” xx

cocoforbes · 13/10/2021 19:28

@Squiff70 really hoping the FRER brings good news but you're also not out until AF arrives!

cocoforbes · 13/10/2021 19:44

So sorry to hear @SammiStap, hopefully we get our rainbow babies soon! 🌈

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 19:54

@cocoforbes wishing you lots of luck and hope we do! 🌈🌈

MrsBiddy · 13/10/2021 19:55
