Congrats to @pinkandredflowers and @Scarletthoping on bfps last cycle, hope all goes well in the pregnancy.

Here we go...

@Mango30 i get that. I’m sorry to hear you are not doing too well.
For exercise we have a peloton bike which I try and do only 20-40 a couple of times a week. I have taken up medication though and I have found my mental health has improved soo much

opk update do you think that’s this is my peak???

Sorry forgot to attach

@Mango30 I got tv scan and semen analysis free from work employee benefit that luckily just showed up last year. But thrombosis and thyroid, I begged my GP to get it for me.

@ttcthoughts is it fully dried? It looks very much positive!

@ttcthoughts that sounds like a good routine. What kind of medication do you mean? I've heard some people say that sertraline can help with low moods and anxiety.

@HelloMoon87 thats such a good work benefit!

@HelloMoon87 yes it was fully dry by that point :)

@Mango30 Sorry auto correct Meditation, but I have also started taking Vit D, Folic Acid and Iron and my mood has increased sooo much!

I haven’t been on since my chemical a couple weeks back and omg I’m sooooo pleased to see all your lovely BFPs!! 😍 what a lucky thread this has become! Congrats to you all 💕

I managed to get progesterone prescribed privately and thankfully despite the chemical I ovulated bang on time so I’m now 2DPO! Super excited to try progesterone with this cycle, will start it tomorrow! 😊

@LacedBouquet ah that’s brill, I’m keeping everything crossed for you that this cycle is the one!!🤞🏼🙏🏼💖

Ah that's great @LacedBouquet . Do you take progesterone before or after bfp? I have everything crossed for you! 💚

Thanks @HelloMoon87 and @missmae 😊

I’m taking from 3DPO so start tomorrow! I’ve also been prescribed folic acid 5mg to start from BFP and baby aspirin from 6 weeks if I ever get that far 🤞🏻

Sorry to hear about your chemical @LacedBouquet 🤍
please can I ask whether your progesterone is related to your luteal phase? I've been a bit worried as my luteal phase is only 11 days at most and heard it can help

@Mango30 Thank you!
And yes- my luteal phase is only 8 days so the doctor thinks that’s why I keep losing the pregnancies.

11 days is much better than 8 but slightly short of ideal so might be worth exploring!

I got a private zoom fertility appointment and had the progesterone prescribed privately x

@LacedBouquet wow that's great, I really hope it does the trick for you this cycle! 🤞🌈

It's so dependent on the doctor you get, I went to a private fertility clinic and they said the 11 days is no problem, even though lots of stuff online makes me think otherwise (shouldn't google but I do!)
how did you find one that does zoom?

I'm 99% sure this is an evap on a one step... Never had one before. What do you think? I know it was way too early to test but I caved fmu 🤦‍♀️ next to an opk for comparison.

Hey everyone! I've been watching this thread for a while and just wanted to share my situation as I'm overthinking so much and would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm 28F new to trying, this is my 3rd month, my periods are usually like clockwork and my cycles are 28-29 days long. My period was due a few days ago and I'm now on Day 32 with no sign of it, I usually have some light spotting the day before it arrives but that isn't here yet.
Only symptoms I've been having is some of my favourite things tasting strange & for the past 5 days iv had left ovary twinges.

My app says I ovulated on the 3rd, but honestly it could probably be a couple days off & I'm not 100% sure on ovulation day.

No lifestyle changes or anything, but every test I have taken has been negative so far. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

xx

@Mango30 It was called Nova Fertility and I saw it recommended on mumsnet! I think I got it though because I’ve had 2 confirmed chemical pregnancies and 1 additional suspected chemical pregnancy (I was on holiday without tests and bled for 10 days). All of this has been in my last 3 cycles trying. So with the short luteal phases and repeated loss it made sense to try progesterone first 😊

@Kellyaust how is it looking this morning? Fx for you!!

@h0lly88 why does the app say ovulation is happening so close to your period? Are you doing opks?

Stark white bfns this morning 😓

@LacedBouquet thank you I will check them out!

@h0lly88 sorry I can't be more help but the food tasting weird thing definitely happened to me before I found out I was pregnant.

@Kellyaust it's such an emotional rollercoaster 🤍 I had a faint line last cycle followed by negatives and I was gutted. I think the best thing is really not to test early, I know that is so hard to do in real life tho xx

@Mango30 it is I promised myself I wouldn't last cycle but then you cave, get evaps then it makes you test more. This was it after 20 mins 🤦‍♀️

@Kellyaust fingers crossed for you! You're dpo 7, right?

7 or 8 coz my opk stayed positive for 2 days.. Stupidly early to be testing I know x

Oo thats interesting.. @Mango30 ! I have my hopes up now it's so late and getting a couple symptoms but I am still 80% convinced its just going to come late for whatever reason since I'm still negative.

@HelloMoon87 my period was on 17th - 21st July and it says I ovulated 3rd august but I didn't do anything to confirm that so it could be wrong, & my period is due 15th August (making me my usual 28/29 day cycle) but 3 days later no sign and I've never gone over 29 before, so just super confusing since I'm still negative!

Maybe try tomorrow again? I think dpo 9 is earliest I've seen...
