@RMS0209 ah good start! We DTD on Tuesday, luckily DH is working from home currently rather than being away so should be able to do tonight and tomorrow - then see what happens with the OPK's!
I've not had the juice but I eat pomegranate seeds and blueberries with greek yoghurt for breakfast, I love the seeds so I imagine the juice is similar! Not a fan of grapefruit though, agree with you on that 100%! x

MrsGrealish · 19/05/2022 15:26

@RMS0209 I used them because they have q10 in them..anything to help my ancient eggs 😅

RMS0209 · 19/05/2022 15:37

@alwaysseeingstars PERFECT, so you have some guys waiting in the hall (haha)
Fingers crossed for you OPK wise, I think you are going to catch it.. how exciting!

I've not had the juice either but i LOVE the seeds so i'm excited to try it. x

@MrsGrealish I think you're massively underselling yourself, you have 'ancient' eggs (your words NOT mine!!) and only DTD once but look who's pregnant 😉xx

alwaysseeingstars · 19/05/2022 16:26

@RMS0209 yep, they can form an orderly queue... 😂let me know what the juice is like! I really hope your peak comes soon and this is a lucky month xx

MrsGrealish · 19/05/2022 16:43

@alwaysseeingstars all hail Q10 😂, but ok I'll give you that xx

Tropicana1 · 19/05/2022 17:51

@Nyxxie congratulations! Lovely bfp!

AF is a no show so far today - Just done another cheapie on a 2 hour hold and negative again but if theres still no sign in the morning (13dpo) I'll use an FRER but I'm not feeling like it's likely in all honesty - I've peed on so many cheapies the last few days 🤣 and all I've had is blank negatives

alwaysseeingstars · 19/05/2022 18:39

@Tropicana1 it’s still possible- fingers crossed for you!
@RMS0209 just did another opk, definitely getting darker! Just used the premom app for the first time and it gave it a reading of 0.93 😊

Nyxxie · 19/05/2022 18:41

Thank you @Tropicana1 Fingers crossed you get yours tomorrow! ☺️

Hi everyone, got my day 21 progesterone checked and it was normal. So not sure why i am getting this spotting before AF meaning short LP. I will see if actually my supplements are to thank for this, so that is if AF shows up when I would expect and not early. Sadly can feel AF cramps and it is heartbreaking again. Just when I tell myself I won’t care as I have had enough of ttc, the telltale AF signs get me every time 😭. At least I have now learnt not to label every PMS symptom as pregnancy. I have told myself my sore boobs are preAF boobs, my nausea is due to a cold and my cramps are preAF cramps not implantation cramps…and breathe…

QueenBee22 · 19/05/2022 19:24

@alwaysseeingstars that's a high reading you will have a peak very soon!

I just got my peak this morning 1.35 so ovulation day tomorrow then the TWW begins!

Tropicana1 · 19/05/2022 19:38

I'm worried I've now given myself false hope 🤦🏼‍♀️ - read the Amazon reviews of my cheapies (probably should have done before I bought them) and apparently a lot of people have got false negatives / don't think they are as sensitive as they say they are because they didn't get positives until 16-20dpo
Trying to stop myself doing an FRER right now and just wait until the morning!

taexo · 19/05/2022 19:49

Hi girls! I’ve been ttc since October and since then had two periods (November and April) my GP has referred me to the gynae. Has anybody got any experiences similar and thoughts about maybe going private?

I’ve had blood tests which all come back fine and we are getting a sperm analysis done with the NHS. My mother has PCOS and me and my siblings are all ivf babies. I just want to know where I stand really! X

Changingdirections · 20/05/2022 13:55

I'm pretty sure my pregnancy is another chemical one😞

Hope everyone else is having more luck

RMS0209 · 20/05/2022 14:19

@alwaysseeingstars how are the OPK's looking? Mines is back to 0.30ish today... it was all going so well! ☹️ CD15 though it's ok!

@RosyappleA hi great news about your tests! I have the same test at the DR ready to book once I have ovulation confirmed, was it easy enough to do? How are you feeling?

@QueenBee22 what a great peak 😍 what cycle day are you? Bring on the dancing! 💃🏼

@Tropicana1 how are you doing today? A little less stressed I hope...

@taexo hi and welcome! I'm sorry I'm not much use I don't have an answer but hopefully one of the lovely ladies can. I am glad you have been referred. I am in the middle of organising some private fertility tests but I'm not sure where you are I'm in Scotland.

@Changingdirections what makes you think it's a chemical? ☹️💗

I've started bleeding, just like my last chemical. I'm 99% certain.

Kitty901 · 20/05/2022 15:12

@Changingdirections is it proper bleeding or spotting? I had spotting on and off during the first 3 months of my pregnancy. Hope it stops and you are alright! Xx

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 15:28

@Changingdirections sending you so much good luck that this is a sticky bean ❤️

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 15:30

I am 5/6DPO and have had period pain like cramps for the last 2 days, twinges in my ovaries and an ache in my thighs… it’s making me feel quite worried that something weird is going on. It’s not super painful but definitely making me quite sluggish! It’s giving me a bad feeling :/

So far not a lot nothing since I saw it before when I went the loo but it was bright red and a couple of clots, sorry TMI, which isn't a good sign really. I'm trying to just rest now laying on the sofa just on the off chance but not easy with toddler running about!

Tropicana1 · 20/05/2022 18:26

@Changingdirections sorry to hear about the possible chemical :(

@RMS0209 honestly no idea what's going on with my period this month. BFN on an FRER this morning, now 2 days late no sign of anything (13dpo) usual luteal phase 11 days so no idea where this has come from. Haven't even got any spotting. Had some creamy CM this morning that was maybe very very slightly pink tinged but none since just cramps

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 20:39

how are you feeling @Changingdirections ?

Changingdirections · 20/05/2022 20:42

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 20:39

how are you feeling @Changingdirections ?

I'm ok thank you, no more bleeding since, so I have a little hope. I still think it's probably not good though, will just have to wait and see.

QueenBee22 · 20/05/2022 21:34

@RMS0209 CD 19, a day earlier than last month. How are you doing this month?
