TTC APRIL

[RMS0209]

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

@Presently83 I didn't think of that, I might give them a call tomorrow and see if they're able to move it for him. How did he find the process? Did your results come back okay?

@Presently83 great idea @Rhianne18 fingers crossed you can get an app.

I had another post asking about LP's and a lady who recently got a positive added vitamin C into her supplements that month only thing she did different.

@RMS0209 I think I'm going to give it a try this month, see if it makes any difference DTD after. I'm the same as you, never ovulate at the same time each month, and think it's a good idea every 2-3days, thinking we might give it a try next month too.

@RMS0209 thank you for that, off I go to get some Vit C too. I 've read on here that Vic E and B6 are supposed to help too? I take so many as it is, I'll be a walking Vitamin Box!

@Rhianne18 everything crossed for us! we might be a bit fitter after all this if anything ha ha.
I read about vitamin B6 too! I will let you know everything I take when I am home, I'm off to see a clairvoyant now after work... hopefully she has some good news 🙂

Hello again @RMS0209 thank you for setting this up. Hi girls!

Cycle 5 for us (I presume we’re out due to rarity of dtd this month, but it’s only 4DPO).

I’ve given up on SMEP (we can’t do it that often!) but will be trying the ‘purple plan’ with all of our supplements too!

The new method I’m trying in April is… going on holiday! A week in Spain, hopefully will reduce the stress and increase the rumpy pumpy 😅

Sending gallons of baby dust to you all

@Rhianne18 he hasn't had yet, it's now towards the end of April. He had a child from a previous relationship and we did get pregnant before so probably ok, but worth checking.

Insane how many vitamins and supplements I'm now taking, when the first time we got pregnant I was just on Pregnacare, Coq10 and vit d. Now if you shake me I RATTLE 😳

@Presently83 omg I bought pill containers on Amazon that has three sections for morning noon and night! It's mad.

I'm holding out hope for April (no pressure) as it will be three months since I've been taking them all and apparently your eggs renew every 3 months

Hopefully they are super duper eggs now 🤞🏼

@RMS0209 yes we just might be 😂 oh yes, please let me know, happy to share what I’m taking too if you’re interested. Good luck, hope there’s lots of good news for you 🤞🏼

@DogsAndGin Hello, don’t give up hope, keeping everything crossed for you! Can I ask what the ‘purple plan’ is? Holiday sounds lush, also you’re much more relaxed when you’re away too 🙌🏼☀️

@Presently83 yes, I’m sure all is okay! Similar to us, DH has children from a previous relationship but he’s a lot older now so we want to check what our chances are! Fingers crossed for his appointment.

That’s pretty much what I take, with addition of VitalDHA and b12! What other vitamins have you introduced?

I don’t know about anyone else, but by taking vitamins I feel like I’m doing my best to help the process as I have no control over anything else! 😂

EWCM starting 🙌 bring on fertile week!

Joining as I'm on CD22 of a 26/27 day cycle - this is my second month TTC after a chemical in Jan. I'm 40 and though my cycles are regular and I ovulate - I seem to ovulate on CD10/11 so I'm worried that this doesn't give enough time for the follicle to mature or my lining to be thick enough for successful implantation. Has anyone got any reassurances on this or is there any way of pushing my ovulation back a bit? Anyway right now - obvs not sure if my symptoms are hopeful or just PMS. Had a lot of creamy cm and sore breasts since CD15. I totally agree with relaxing and being positive but feel time is running out a bit because of my age.

@Tigergirl37 do you get your peak on CD 10/11?

Hello @DogsAndGin very jealous about the Spain holiday... I hope you enjoy and get lots of luck this cycle! 🌟

@Presently83 ha ha you should see the bottom drawer of my bedside table - it's like a mini boots with all the vitamins/supplements/OPK's and other fertility goodies.. oopsie

@MO22 great way to think about it... 3 months so everything crossed that it's all kicked in now.

@Rhianne18 oh yes please share what you take/get I'll go compose a list for me too

Clairvoyant app was AMAZING! First time ever went... would highly recommend, feel a sense of relief. I've also made a note of everything she said and can't wait to look back on it in a year or so and compare!

@MrsGrealish woo hoo fertile week, get ready to dance your socks off (but put them on again quick keep the feet warm! 😂

@Tigergirl37 hi & welcome 😊 I can't help ovulation wise I'm afraid but Im sure one of the other lovely ladies will be able to shed some light, try not to worry yourself too much (I know this is easier said than done...)
Sorry to hear about your chemical 💗 I hope
April is the month of a BFP for you x

@MrsGrealish well based on the cheapie sticks and egg white cm from CD8 - my guess is that I ovulate on CD10/11.

Thank you @RMS0209

@RMS0209 I take pregnacare (pre conception), 4000ui Vit D, vital DHA, 1000ug b12, 400g CoQ10.

Interested to hear if anyone takes anything else that could help!

I think I'm going to look into the Vit C and B6 too.

@Tigergirl37 For reassurance I have always had a 26 day cycle and have 3 DC. I'm pretty sure ovulation happens 24 hours post peak. But it can be variable. Your symptoms sound good though. Progesterone in luteal phase making boobs sore xx

@RMS0209 getting rid of old swimmers tomorrow (as per purple method) (also probably TMI😂) not starting tracking OPKs till CD9. Hope OH is up to this or doesn't get stage fright I've spent loads on vitamins!

Thanks for the reassurance @MrsGrealish - I have two DCs but this will be a 12 year gap as I'm ttc with my new partner so feels quite different this time round...

@Rhianne18 I take this and evening primrose oil, vitamin b6 & b12 and thyroid hormone.

But I have lots of things wrong with me ha, so plenty of pills

@Tigergirl37 yes I have a big age gap too. I'll be 40 in may so think my reproductive system may be getting old and cranky.

Wow this thread moves fast! Interesting to read about the supplements everyone is taking; I have just started taking vitamin B6 today in hopes of lengthening my luteal phase. Now wondering if I should be taking vitamin C alongside it?

@MO22 thank you so much for sharing, it's really interesting to know! That's quite a schedule to follow too!

@Nyxxie I have no idea if you need to take vit c with the B6 but I'm going to give them both a try too.

@Rhianne18 I take..
Pregnacare wellwoman before conception (great minds think alike) I did have the nutri advance but it was giving me a sore tummy.
I take vitamin B12, iron & vitamin D3.
I also have the coq-10 but not sure to take it?!
Do you think I should order some B6? Being CD1 (no bloody denying it's CD1 now 😅) I wonder if it would help this cycle? I think I just worry about it delaying AF if I ament successful this cycle... last thing I want!

@MrsGrealish ha ha - you are a week ahead of me, go you! I think I'm going to do CD10 for OPK's (if I decide to do them) I think the ovu sense gives me a good idea fertile window wise so will tell in a few days, sending all the luck though! I find it easier "dancing" at weekends rather than after work days.. if only it could always land a weekend huh 

@Nyxxie what vitamin b6 did you go for? What cd are you again?

@RMS0209 OH has made a promise every 2 days from Saturday. Wish me all the luck he's no spring chicken himself 😂
