Hi @dollface22 I am taking a pre-pregnancy multivitamin which includes vitamin D, foliate, a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Also taking a separate vitamin C since I caught covid but I don't usually as I eat plenty of fruit and veg so I think I will normally get enough.
I've also cut right back on caffeine and going to do the same with alcohol now I'm not going on holiday 🙃 I will probably have the odd drink here and there while TTC but only now and again rather than the full on indulgence I've had recently - although over Xmas, NY and on hol I have really let myself drink more thinking thinking might be (hopefully) the last few months I can for a long while!

Dreamingof3 · 05/05/2022 10:06

Cd33 🥲 hoping it turns into cd1 later, send me some after vibes ladies...last time ill ask for that 🤣

LemonZestDribbles · 05/05/2022 10:30

@SarahShorty just wild I think 🤣 thankfully I was so tired I slept through it last night. Did wake up with a frog on my head though

@HeathenPlayingHouse that sounds the perfect way to take some control ❤

@LaVitesse2022 yas! Happy bd time 🥳🥳

@Dreamingof3 strange wishing af on someone on here 🤣🤣

SarahShorty · 05/05/2022 11:04

@LemonZestDribbles 😂😂

dearhummingbirds · 05/05/2022 12:02

@dollface22
I take a multivitamin normally anyway, but have got some folic acid on the way as we’re getting close to the three months before TTC.
I’ve stepped up my exercise too and have been trying to lose a few pounds - I’m already a healthy weight, but put a few on over covid.

How are all of the May TTC-ers getting on so far?

DanceWithYourBalloon · 05/05/2022 12:04

9dpo and I think I have a squinter of a line on my test this morning if anyone wants a look.
I'm not even going to get excited until I do another test in a few days though! 🤞🏻

lj2022 · 05/05/2022 12:22

@DanceWithYourBalloon oh fingers crossed for you 🤞 any symptoms?

LucyLoopyLu · 05/05/2022 12:31

@Dancewithyourballoon ooh good luck!

keeponsmiling2019 · 05/05/2022 12:32

So confused. Bfn today. All the symptoms. I'm either having a long cycle which I've never had and will get AF or I'm pregnant and it's no showing yet... or the spotting I had on CD15 was a period and I'm in my new cycle... who knows 😞

Dreamingof3 · 05/05/2022 12:35

Ooh show us @DanceWithYourBalloon

HeathenPlayingHouse · 05/05/2022 12:36

@Brightonbelle87 Thank you lovely. I'm not sure how long the break will last (I keep getting mild spotting on and off), but I'll enjoy it for now.

Dreamingof3 · 05/05/2022 12:36

@keeponsmiling2019 🤞for you. Do you know how many dpo you are?

HeathenPlayingHouse · 05/05/2022 12:37

@DanceWithYourBalloon Yay! Let's have a look! 🤞

tryingtryinggone · 05/05/2022 12:37

@Bear486 congratulations!

@dollface22 im taking the seven seas breastfeeding vitamins. I’m still feeding my dd but I’m pretty sure it’s got all the same stuff as the ttc ones including folic acid. Just much more expensive 😅

@dearhummingbirds CD10 for me. Not long to go until trying again!

@DanceWithYourBalloon oooh let’s see the test? Fingers crossed it’s a positive for you!

keeponsmiling2019 · 05/05/2022 12:55

@Dreamingof3 Not sure when I ovulated as I wasn't tracking but 19 days after the 1 time we DTD and CD31.

DanceWithYourBalloon · 05/05/2022 12:56

This is my absolute squinter! 😂

Summerbreeze111 · 05/05/2022 13:07

@dearhummingbirds I am waiting for my period to arrive, hopefully within the next day or so and then we are going to start trying for the first time!

I have been taking folic acid for 3 months now and also Coq10 and occasionally other vitamins including my parter - fish oil (not fish liver oil), zinc, vitamin c and magnesium!

Dreamingof3 · 05/05/2022 13:40

@DanceWithYourBalloon I see it!!

NarnieJoy · 05/05/2022 14:48

Hey ladies, been so quiet on here - but huge congrats to those who are pregnant, really celebrating everyone as a little miracle.

Took a break because after we have been basically NPNT I had a CP and it's been a bit hard. Took the test on 14&5DPO and it was very faint then my period came. 😓

FourOclock · 05/05/2022 14:55

Sorry to hear that @NarnieJoy Sad are you okay?

NarnieJoy · 05/05/2022 15:02

@FourOclock I am ok, I feel sad some days. My body was different, my boobs were massive and I was feeling off so I thought maybe they would get darker.
Trying to focus on getting my body so healthy and not blaming myself for it - cause it can be easy to think it might be something I did.

NarnieJoy · 05/05/2022 15:03

@DanceWithYourBalloon I see it lovely! i bet you can't wait for 10 dpo!

dearhummingbirds · 05/05/2022 15:15

@FourOclock I can imagine that’s very disheartening :( but you’re right not to blame yourself - the body is a fickle thing.

fingers crossed @Summerbreeze111
& @tryingtryinggone !!

@DanceWithYourBalloon When zoomed out I think I miiight be able to see something!?

DanceWithYourBalloon · 05/05/2022 15:29

@NarnieJoy take care of yourself. I've had two CPs now and it's so disheartening. Definitely not your fault! X

DanceWithYourBalloon · 05/05/2022 15:30

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I'm not imagining seeing a faint line! 😂
