Hi, as an newbie (ish) to mumsnet I thought I would create a thread for the above. I would love to chat. Let’s be positive together but also share what the hell we like.
After a very definite BFN today I have been feeling really down but also angry with myself for not TTC properly. Not tracking no vitamins etc.
Looking forward I am taking seven seas ttc from today as well as Ubiquinol 1200 mg.
I have also invested in clear blue fertility tracker that shows 4 most fertile days.
Where are you in your ttc journeys? X

Hello, I'd like to join you please!

I'm still waiting for my AF to appear as well but definitely not pregnanant. It's 10 days late now πŸ˜₯ don't think I ovulated from being so ill lately with colds and flu.

SimplyChic · 18/01/2023 12:44

Pregnant* no idea what happened there!!

SimplyChic · 18/01/2023 12:46

@Luckystar7jf My brain is not with it today πŸ˜„

justsayso · 18/01/2023 13:57

Hi @Luckystar7jf and @SimplyChic mind if I join? I've just finished my period and we've been TTC our first for 1 year. It's been a terrible year but I won't bring the vibe down with details. This month I'm going to track my bbt and use ovulation strips to try and catch that egg!
Good luck to us all :)

justsayso · 18/01/2023 13:58

What does ubiquinol do?

Luckystar7jf · 18/01/2023 14:37

Hi @SimplyChic @justsayso thank you for joining me!
i will write a proper post soon as I am home . Xx

My bbt thermometer should have arrived by the time I get home, stupid Amazon prime - it should have been here yesterday! My tracker app is all over the place and it keeps telling me I'll be ovulating in 22 days. I'll need to be on it this month to have a chance.
I so want to be pregnant I've introduced SMEP to my DH who is understandably up for the challenge!

Galw9 · 19/01/2023 20:12

I’m waiting for AF, 2 days late but very clearly negative so think it’s just late! Had been on depo but finished July last year and recently started to regulate so it’s frustrating being late and negative :( bought some vitamins for regulation and more ovulation tests for next cycle.

best of luck everyone!! 🀞🏼🀞🏼

SimplyChic · 19/01/2023 20:53

I'm still waiting for AF, it's almost two weeks late now, I think I didnt ovulate last month and I have had lots of watery cm today (assuming near next ovulation now) I never seem to get EWCM though I hope it isn't anything to be concerned about.

@Luckystar7jf do you have any further updates? 😊

Luckystar7jf · 19/01/2023 22:01

Hi so sorry been manic few days. Just moved house.
so ubiquinol is supposed to improve egg quality so I’m hopeful.
How is everyone. Hope this is a lucky thread.
@SimplyChic cycles can be a pain sorry yours is late. Not an expert on cm but read there are supps you can take to increase it but can’t remember what? Sorry.
@Galw9 Hi mine was 3 days late was so frustrating x

Hi, I'm on day 5 of my cycle. This will be first month ttc baby #3. Fingers crossed for all of us🀞

Panauraisin · 19/01/2023 23:02

Hi would love to join! TTC about 8 months after missed MC last year, it can be disheartening! Think this month may be a dud we started DTD too early in the month and ran out of steam with it πŸ˜… so I think we missed my actual ovulation! Would like to track BBT next month though can you use any thermometer?

justsayso · 20/01/2023 11:54

@SimplyChic when I conceived in may 22 I didn't get EWCM I can remember getting it when I was younger looking back but now I'm in my 30s not so much! It's worrying but I have gotten pregnant without it. I believe preseed lube mimics EWCM so might be worth looking into.
Re BBT thermometer I think any oral digital thermometer will work. I just entered the reading I to my period tracker as it has a TTC mode.

SimplyChic · 20/01/2023 12:44

@justsayso I have ordered a BBT thermometer but its not here until Tuesday. I also have ovulation strips coming tomorrow so will see how they go and will try not to go mad with them πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ ive never used them before! Im glad to here you still have but I am almost in my mid 20's and I've never noticed it before really maybe twice but I wasn't even ovulating I don't think! Hopefully my app predictions are correct.

justsayso · 24/01/2023 22:26

How's everyone getting on? I'm going to buy some OPKs tomorrow to use with my BBT thermometer. I also read up on the ferti-lily conception cup and am thinking of trying my nix period cup as an alternative! Bought some new multi vitamins as well. I'm seriously trying anything and everything at this point. It's been a year this month,,and all I've got to show for it is 3 miscarriages and a referral to the recurring miscarriage clinic. The waiting lists are 19 weeks for a first appointment.

SimplyChic · 25/01/2023 12:56

@justsayso still the same here. No AF or ovulation it seems and on CD 46 now ☹️ LH tests still low, beginning to worry as I didnt think being unwell would mess me up so badly.

Still early days but I thought my cycles were back to normal then bam, this happens!

justsayso · 28/01/2023 16:49

Hi @SimplyChic that must be so frustrating, do you know why it's making your cycles do long?
I caught the LH surge on an OPK on Thurs so we've DTD since then. Fingers crossed!
Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Ttcpph · 28/01/2023 16:58

Hi all
also trying to conceive. I'm on CD9 and did a digital opk, which came out positive. I'm so confused as my last cycle was 35 days long?!

Ttcpph · 28/01/2023 17:00

Also to add, I had a MMC in October so my cycles have been a mess since then.
started BBTing last cycle and i must have ovulated around CD21, so no idea what's happening !!

Fairylight102 · 28/01/2023 17:34

Can I join?

I had an early miscarriage in December (conceived on my 2nd cycle which I was so delighted about because I have PCOS and expected it to take much longer.)

I’m now on cycle day 3 of my first period since that happened.

I’m 32 and TTC our first baby.

SimplyChic · 28/01/2023 20:01

@justsayso unfortunately not. My cycles used to be all over the place before BC though when I was a young teenager. I'm going to wait a few cycles and if nothing appears, I'll have to go to the GP as I doubt they would do anything before then.

Good luck to you! Hopefully you succeed.

Honolulu123 · 28/01/2023 22:22

Can I join too?

I'm just a couple of months into ttc #2. I say 'just' as DD took 15 months, an early loss, a referral to a fertility clinic, some mildly concerning results for both me and DH, gearing up for IVF, then a natural conception before we started.

We are throwing everything at it from the beginning this time; clear blue opks, conception cup, obiquinol, vit D, folate, alpha lipoic acid (basically 'it starts with an egg' book is my Bible), Mediterranean diet, oily fish twice a week, exercise. If I've missed anything, let me know!

So sorry to read about other losses, it's so heartbreaking. Sending hugs to you πŸ’

Currently 3 or 5dpo (which could be wrong, temping is my nemesis), so trying not to get too crazy symptom spotting and avoid early testing. Easier said than done x

Honolulu123 · 28/01/2023 22:29

@Luckystar7jf how are you doing? Hope you're feeling more settled after your house move!

Can I ask about your dose of Ubiquinol as 1200mg seems very high. I know some specialists recommend a higher dose of 600mg, was that your experience?x
