Sounds like that could have been an implantation bleed then @Doodle10 Hopefully so!

Mummyme87 · 25/07/2022 08:39

@Doodle10 that sounds super promising!!

NiceToChat88 · 25/07/2022 08:49

Morning lovelies

am I too late to join? I’m cycle 8 of ttc and 5dpo! Very much need somewhere I don’t feel so alone x

EdinburghGirl1 · 25/07/2022 09:35

Hi @NiceToChat88 and welcome. I'm 4dpo so in the tww with you

NSx · 25/07/2022 09:38

@Aurora81 I’m 8dpo today and my BBT is high but it’s almost impossible to tell anything as it’s bloody roasting here πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and I had alcohol last night so it’s really pointless.
good luck 🀞 I hope this is your month, I’ll be watching for your posts midweek!
im going to hold off until the wkend I think, unless I get some signs.

NiceToChat88 · 25/07/2022 09:38

@EdinburghGirl1 thanks for your reply! How long are your cycles? I’ve quite short cycles 24/25 days. I think I’m going to start temping next month as my OPK have been a bit over the place this month & I don’t often get noticeable EWCM. Just trying to dtd as much as possible to be sure πŸ˜‚

NSx · 25/07/2022 09:39

@NiceToChat88 - you are more than welcome here I’m only 3 days ahead of you πŸ’•

Has anyone used agnus castus? I've seen it mentioned on here but I've never used it myself and not sure what it's meant to help with exactly!

I bought this and then scared myself out of using it -
because it says on the bottle something about not being suitable during pregnancy.

I don’t know πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I couldn’t get a definitive answer anywhere online πŸ˜…

EdinburghGirl1 · 25/07/2022 09:42

I think generally short cycles too around 26/28 days but this is only the second cycle after coming off the pill so no idea. I know that they were that length when ttc#1. I ovulated pretty early this month CD11 as got my peak CD10 and had ovulation pains and EWCM around that time too. Can't go wrong with DTD as much as possible 😊

EdinburghGirl1 · 25/07/2022 09:43

@NiceToChat88 forgot to take you in my reply

CinderellaFant · 25/07/2022 10:23

9 dpo and I've woken up this morning with sore boobs! Taking that as a positive sign (even though I usually get sore boobs around the time of the month anyway πŸ˜‚)

CinderellaFant · 25/07/2022 10:24

Sorry to hear about your bfn @calipoppy and @cavebaby. Ttc is really tough x

NiceToChat88 · 25/07/2022 11:18

@NSx thank you lovely! It’s always a nervous wait and hyper sensitive to any twinge/cramp/nausea no matter how small 🀣 I have been recommended pure pomegranate juice to drink daily which apparently helps with thickening of uterus and blood flow - at this stage I’m willing to try anything. Although at Β£5 a bottle it better be a miracle worker πŸ˜† x

CinderellaFant · 25/07/2022 11:36

I've just tested positive for covid 😩😩😩😩

NSx · 25/07/2022 11:43

@NiceToChat88 i hadn’t heard about pomegranate juice? when are you supposed to take it ? X

@CinderellaFant oh no! I’m so sorry you’re going through covid, but hopefully that doesn’t mean you can’t get your bfp! Fingers crossed x

NiceToChat88 · 25/07/2022 11:48

@NSx I have read that you are meant to drink it daily but if not daily then at the start of AF until ovulation. There is a lot online about it, not sure how reliable it is but it can’t hurt - proovtest.com/blogs/blog/fertility-superstitions

@CinderellaFant i tested positive two weeks ago today, I was very unwell with it and missed two days dtd because of it 😞 hope you’re feeling okay. Lots of water and pain killers to help fight x

NSx · 25/07/2022 11:55

@NiceToChat88 i had a wee look, I’ll bare that in mind for next cycle if I’m unsuccessful this time 🀞 let’s see.
day number 8 - feels like the longest 2 weeks ever πŸ˜‚

EdinburghGirl1 · 25/07/2022 12:08

@CinderellaFant oh no! I hope it isn't too bad for you

H1994 · 25/07/2022 12:14

Right girls, I'm in the TWW... and feeling EVERY tiny thing going on hahah! such an idiot... fingers crossed and we will see! Babydust to all! xx

BiscuitLover3678 · 25/07/2022 12:41

Sorry I’ve been so distant this month! Trying not to obsess. But then I still early tested and all negative again. :(

how are we going @Charl881?

NiceToChat88 · 25/07/2022 14:53

I may be looking into things a bit too specifically here (πŸ˜‚) but does anyone think time of day to dtd would be better/make a better chance.

My DH leaves for work at 7am and gets home about 6pm mid week so we either need to do first thing in morning or before bed. I don’t ever have much noticeable EWMC so wondering if that effects how long sperm will last? I’ve also never done an OPK in the evening, only morning/early afternoon so wondering if I’m missing the initial surge. Maybe clutching at straws here - who knows!! X

NSx · 25/07/2022 14:54

@BiscuitLover3678 how many dpo are you? X

NSx · 25/07/2022 15:01

@NiceToChat88 i honestly don’t know, I would be interested in finding out.
this time we DTD before bed and once in the afternoon…
I know when I fell in feb with my girl, we only DTD 3 times πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ once a day from flashing smiley to static smiley on clearly blue OPK and one of those was afternoon - but it worked ! so I don’t know πŸ˜… x

for some reason I can’t tag you?
how many dpo are you? X

CinderellaFant · 25/07/2022 15:05

Thanks girls, I have no symptoms at the minute and wouldn't have known if my mum didn't message me to tell me she has it and to do a lateral flow! Let's hope it stays like that.

I am very worried though about what will happen if I am pregnant this month. I've been frantically googling all morning and seems to be the high temperature is the thing to worry about when in early pregnancy ☹️
