I finished the last thread..if you want to continue your journey ❤️

I may have forgotten some. Please add🙏

@MrsJGrealish Yep. I had a negative by Friday and am just waiting for AF now. For me it will be a few days for the effects of the progesterone to wear off.

@TheBirdintheCave that's good! You really only have 1 cycle to wait until you can try again in September so that's a good thing. Are you able to try naturally between cycles?

@bunnykins123 Yeah we can do :)

That's me out girls. 41 days of hell. Culminated by an explosion half an hr ago. Good luck to everyone on this thread whether it's getting pregnant or giving birth. You've got this 💝 Xx

@MrsJGrealish ahhh so sorry lovely that's crappy 😢 big hugs

@Angelselevenx how's the tww going?

I don't know whats going on with me I'm on CD6 and I've got really fertile cm and backache 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's so weird and far too early 😂

@bringmearainbow 7dpo here, haven't caved yet but already getting negative vibes 😂 I've had on off cramps since 3DPO genuinely thought AF was coming v early, but nothing since this morning so I'm out I think.

Can you DTD just to cover yourself incase? Have you taken an LH test? X

@Angelselevenx I def had those feelings by 7dpo I just knew it hadnt happened that cycle which is crazy because you still have time so don't give up yet lovely 😘 you think you'll test tomorrow? Yes I'll make sure I pin him later 😂 I haven't yet I'll have to wait until I get home later I'm not expecting anything positive my body is clearly just whacky 🙄

@bringmearainbow crazy isn't it, although I thought it was out before my CP and although that didn't go to plan I definitely still sat there and thought it would be negatives.

I'm not sure, I don't think anything would show by 8dpo. I might fully wait it out til Thursday.

Haha yes make sure you do! You never know, you might just be ovulating extra early, keep me updated!

@TheBirdintheCave @MrsJGrealish I'm so sorry girls 😔 xxx

@calimc83 mine stopped 🤷‍♀️🤯 one bright red bleed yesterday just a niggle at my right side now. My body has given up. And I don't blame it

@TheBirdintheCave so sorry this time didn't work out, but great to have a battle plan.

@MrsJGrealish sorry your body is messing your around.

CD13 here which is awkward as we're off on holiday (a damp looking Bruges, Antwerp and The Hague) and I hate doing OPKs when away (but also hate not knowing) but at least the holiday will while away at least the first half of the TWW.

@curliegirlie I went to bruges in jan and we loved it funnily enough I had to do opks when we were away too 😂 I agree it's a pain

@Angelselevenx how you feeling lovely?

@bringmearainbow all good here! Caved yesterday and tested and BFN. Think I'll wait out for AF on Friday now, would rather see AF than more negatives 😅. How're you doing?

@Angelselevenx ahh rubbish but still have time 🤞🏼I'm the opposite as disappointing as negatives are I'd rather just know 🙈 I'm good still got weird fertile looking CM but no positive opks. I still think it will be in about 10 days 😂

@MrsJGrealish could it be implantation bleeding? x

@bringmearainbow AF arrived late last night which was a day early meaning my LP has dropped to 10 days, not ideal and another thing to stress about. Going to call the doctors although I'm sure there is nothing they'll do. How're you doing?

@Angelselevenx ahhhh lovely I'm so sorry it's really crappy 😢 def get in touch with the docs and see if they can run some bloods. It doesn't hurt to do them. If they won't do them I don't think they are that expensive to get done privately. How old are you? I can't remember if you've told me or not 🙈 try not to stress about the LP 10 days is still a normal amount of time. Did it full on start last night or just spotting? I'm ok CD10 today. Time to start opks just incase I get an early one but I'm not expecting to still think O will be around 14th. Cm is still a little strange but im just going to ignore that for now 😂

CD5 for me today. Got everything set up for a transfer in September and expect to O this cycle on the 17th. I hate all the waiting 🙄

@TheBirdintheCave waiting sucks 🙄 we'll be near enough cycle twins again! What's your date for sept?

@bringmearainbow so frustrating, my O day was CD19/18 the last two months then this month CD21 and then period came CD31. I've got an appointment at the doctors, I'll try them first and if no luck I'll pay for a private at home test just to see if it's low progesterone. Well it's weird, last night was bright red blood and this mornings is just brown and so little of it, I did do a test this morning just to check and BFN so god knows maybe it's just taking a few days.

Im stopping all my fertility vitamins now bar folic acid as I fell pregnant with my CP when I wasn't taking anything so I wonder if something has changed with taking all the vitamins. Im 29 and been off HBC for 8 months now so I would've thoughts my hormones would've sorted themselves out.

Ahh okay so CD20 for O, we must have similar cycles, have you managed to DTD sporadically to cover yourself if it's early?

@Angelselevenx Im glad that you've managed to get a doctors appointment that's one step in the right direction. They seem to be impossible to get at mine🙄well that sounds like possible implantation bleeding in which case it could take a few days still for anything to show up on a test. Does af usually start like that for you? I'm trying to get at if this is different 🤔like I always spot the evening before then next day its full on whereas I know some people just get full on from the get go. Ive never had IB but I think its usually brown or red with no clots.

I have heard that vitamins can sometimes send cycles all over the place but I've never had that issue I take about a million of the things a day. You might need to push the doctor to do the tests as you're under 35. I know they say a year when you come off HBC but I can't imagine it really takes that long surely not. My experience my cycle settled pretty quick coming off the pill both times I was on it.

Yes I think our cycles are quite similar my O is usually CD19/20/21. That being said I did start Thyroxine 3 weeks ago so that could be changing things. Ive certainly got the right CM atm. We've been dtd plenty just incase. its just a fine line between burning yourself out early though 😂can't be having that. for now ill just do every 2/3 days and keep an eye on opks.

@bringmearainbow it's not until the 15th mind which is basically going back to my fertile week but at least I've got in. After my CP the doctor was really helpful but this was back in March, I asked for her again so hopefully I can try and win her round as she did say to keep in contact with any worries.

Well, normally it starts red the night before and stays red the day after but this is really light and brown so I dunno if it's just my hormones playing silly buggars. It's definitely still not full on and I've been out on a dog walk where usually it'll be like the heavens have opened 😅. I'll see how it progresses but I'm sure it's AF to be honest.

What do you take? I was taking fertility vitamins, coq10, vitamin b (which I thought brought O forward for me on previous cycles) and omega 3 but think I'll just strip right back for now, at least if I then get my hormones tested if there is anything I'm naturally deficient in they'll be able to see 🤞🏼. Yeah my cycles have gone back to normal literally straight away as in AF always comes when expected, O is normally around 18-20 but this time I O late and cycle was 31 days which it always is so it's like my LP has been affected somewhere, it could just be a one off but I'll see.

Did you get Thyroxine from the doctors, what does that do? Good idea! This is my problem, I DTD after AF a few times and that's still only CD8 whereas I need to savour the shags until CD17+ 😂 we're both on a week off FW this month though so at least work won't get in the way

@Angelselevenx sounds like she would be happy to help which is sometimes half the bloody battle!

Well ill really hope that it isn't AF for you but sometimes I think you can just tell 🙄

lol I take

prenatal multivitamin
folic acid that the doctor prescribed
folate
vitamin B complex
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Milk thistle
Selenium
Zinc
Maca Root
Probiotic
Omega 3
Magnesium
Vitamin D

some of those are to help my thyroid and not just for fertility. I did that stopped taking all my vitamins for a couple of weeks before I had all my tests done just incase they were hiding anything.TBH it was just after I had the last MC and I honestly couldn't be bothered with taking anything. Then I booked to see the gynae and I thought no point in taking anything see how bad it actually is.

Thyroxine is prescribed by the doctor for my underactive thyroid which could be the cause of all my MCs. haha yes I have to space out dtd or by the time we get to O he would be spent 😂although he's never said no to me I'm pretty sure one cycle he was nearly at his limit after 4 days in a row. haha you've picked a good time for a holiday love it when everything aligns well!

@bringmearainbow AF is due on Sept 1st I think (just in time for my holiday 🙄😂) so it depends when it shows up as to when the next transfer is :)
