Oh awesome congrats @GinAndBearIt90 !! So good to see it on a digital right?

I am doing well not testing yet. I have been reading It Starts With the Egg. Finding it helpful and maybe explains why we haven’t had much success yet ttc. I’m going to try some of the changes eg supplements, med diet, and reduce plastics.

i purchased the book last month too! i added in the coq10 she recommended and have started making some of the changes!

fingers crossed!

Vic231 · 09/08/2023 17:58

@Optimistic66 @HavinKittens I've read that too! With the coq10 i read it that you shouldn't take it in the TWW, did you both take it that way aswell?

@GinAndBearIt90 that's brilliant! Congratulations 🎉

CinderRosie · 09/08/2023 18:08

@GinAndBearIt90 congratulations!! How many DPO are you? I’m saving my digital for tomorrow or Friday although I have no idea why 😂

HavinKittens · 10/08/2023 13:57

Ah ladies I caved and tested. Negative on a 4 hour hold (long car journey!)
so I think that’s me out this cycle
feel quite sad and frightened by how long it’s taking
at least I can try some of the things suggested in the it starts with the egg book.

@Vic231 i haven’t got to section on q10 yet so not sure what they recommend or what I’ll do
any idea where is reputable to buy the supplements?

@HavinKittens it's the ubiquinol that you need to get. She suggests places in the book but they all seemed to be American and I couldn't find them. I ended up getting them from Amazon after some research, the reviews were all pregnancy related. They aren't cheap though!

Sorry to hear your test was negative 😞

I buy the ubiquinol from Amazon and on my second packet - tbh there much better on my stomach than other coq10 ive taken.

I take thme all through my cycle - didnt realise we werent meant to take post ovulation?

CD16 no ovulation!!!! Come on now!!!! If I have another anovulatory cycle - i will be so upset.

Vic231 · 10/08/2023 16:08

@Optimistic66 I'm away at the moment but I'll try and find the page when I get home, she said something like when taking for IVF they recommend stopping the day before implantation and not to take when pregnant. I think it also said something else but I can't remember, so that made me think to stop taking it during the TWW incase I became pregnant but maybe 2 weeks taking and 2 weeks not, doesn't actually achieve anything 😂 I think I'm just over cautious because my first pregnancy resulted in a TFMR so I'm scared to do anything wrong which may be a bit paranoid 😬 this is now making me think I'll try and find the actual answer!

Hello everyone
I know it’s gone a bit quiet on here. I hadn’t posted as I was trying to take a break from TTC. I was still looking at my apps but not doing any opk tests or temps. I will be about 10 dpo today and finally got what looks like a line on a boots early. It’s pinker in person. Hoping this one sticks. Will feel better if I get a positive digital. Hope you’re all doing okay?

@HavinKittens that's so fantastic, congratulations! I had an over 9 week cycle last month. Now TTC again this month with opks, bbt,etc., for the first time but not much happening so far! Best wishes for a happy healthy pregnancy and baby x

ttcthoughts · 06/09/2023 08:01

@HavinKittens this is great news :)

How are you feeling?

HavinKittens · 06/09/2023 08:40

Thanks @GHJ and @ttcthoughts
GHJ - wishing you luck with your first tracking cycle, hope you see some positive signs soon

I am feeling pretty normal at the moment. I had some cramps a few days ago which I guess were implantation. I am cautious about getting too excited. Really hoping this won’t end up a chemical or early loss like back in Jan.

@HavinKittens congratulations! Hope that line darkens up over the next few days and you have a sticky bean in there x

Well, it’s a bit more official now. Going to book a reassurance scan with the early pregnancy unit though.

@HavinKittens this is soo exciting congratulations lovely. Xx

CinderRosie · 07/09/2023 19:32

@HavinKittens yay! May due date? You’re only a few weeks behind me 🥰

ttcthoughts · 07/09/2023 19:42

@CinderRosie when is your due date? April?

i am the 5th may currently 😊😊

CinderRosie · 07/09/2023 19:49

@ttcthoughts 21st April but I was overdue with DS so think there’s a chance this could be an early May baby!

HavinKittens · 07/09/2023 19:50

Yes May 19th but I suspect it’ll be 12th or earlier as they I had an induction for last pregnancy cause of gestational diabetes
excited for us all

Hello 👋 Was looking for a TTC thread to join.
@HavinKittens Massive congratulations. Wishing you a sticky little baby xx
We just started trying for our second baby. DS is 3 years old.
Took us a year and a bit last time to conceive. It all got very stressful.
Do we told ourselves we aren't putting any pressure on it this time. But we Bded for the first time yesterday, and here I am joining a TTC thread and looking things up.
So we will see if I can try not to stress about it this time.

ttcthoughts · 08/09/2023 02:52

@CinderRosie @HavinKittens this is all very exciting I hope we all have a lovely smooth stress free pregnancy. I think we all deserve it xx
