[Sez281]

Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.
@Jadeypie
@Westy22
@Freddie15VES
@fleur89
@Strawb28
@DmcinT
@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

@Westy22 not sure why I can't see your reply? 🤷‍♀️ @xxcxdonxx hopefully you do over next few days 🤞are you using opks?

Have yours arrived yet @Jadeypie?

@SnookyPook hope you're doing ok? X

I'm in no man's land at the moment, 2DPO so just keeping busy before I can test before surgery next week. I finally started diet, so hopefully will start to see results in next few weeks. It's hard as it's coming up to silly season but will just have to work around it 🤷‍♀️

Just realised I'm actually 3-4dpo as got peak on Monday morning. But either way still in no man's land so going to try not think about it 🙈

I don't know what I said @Sez281 but apparently mum's net are reviewing 🤣

I've not started the acupuncture yet @Sez281 as the lady went away to get married so hopefully it will be starting shortly x

Decided this month I'm only taking omega 3, coq10 and folic acid. I'm spending a fortune on loads of vitamins and nothings happening with my last pregnancy I was taking nothing, since that loss I have taken so much and so far nothing. X AF has finished so going to try and relax this month 🤣

@sez yes back to using opks, I’ve got a clear line on them but definitely not a peak. Mines often appears out of nowhere though so i’d guess it would be over the weekend.

Good for you, getting started is always the hardest part I find.

I’ve started taking Coq10 and calcium in addition to my prenatals @Westy22 but i do wonder what difference they make, time will tell i guess!

Sorry tagged the wrong @Sez281

@xxcxdonxx mine does the same, low readings all the time then massive peak and quick drop! Hopefully you get peak soon 🤞

@Westy22 yeah the amount I've spent so far on ttc between vitamins, opks and tests is crazy. Although not as crazy as if I have to get ivf 🙈 The CoQ10 and folic acid are definitely the only ones needed so you're dead right and as you say loads of people get pregnant without taking anything 🤷‍♀️. The relaxed approach is my plan next cycle too. I think the surgery is going to mess up ttc for a few weeks anyway so I'm going to enjoy the nights out in the run up to Christmas and then start properly again in the New Year 🤞 xx

Hi girls. Another cycle commencing haha. I've started my opk I got the easy at home ones this time so much easier to read. My lines r quite dark on them already but maybe thats just my base so am intrigued to see if i catch a peak on these ones. Oh has defiantly took our convisation on bored by the looks of it so that's good and we are away on Sunday for the night which will be nice. Health kicks still going strong another 2.5 pound down am really hoping losing this weight will benefit my hormones and pcos if that's what I have xx

These are my opk so far

Quick question. When do You take the pic for premom once taking the opk? Do u wait for it dry or after 5 mins? I take them before it's completely dry prob about five mins after xx

Wow @Jadeypie that's a stone down already well done!! 👏. So with the easy@homes I set an alarm for 5 mins and they're usually dry. I do the automatic upload to the app in the same light and place everytime to save confusion, not manually. You should definitely start testing twice a day from around cd10 or 11 just in case you hit peak quickly! Enjoy the night away, it sounds lovely xx

@Jadeypie I've attached my readings this month to show how quickly it can happen xx

@sez oh God It can change so quick!! I'm on cd 11 now so I will start testing twice from tomorrow I don't usually ovulate so early but with my last two cycles apparently I have if I have haha. Thanks for the advise xx

I think I'm actually going to ovulate and I feel so excited about it! Today's been the darkest opk I've ever had and I just feel like my body's actually going to do it this month I didn't test yesterday because we had our little day/night away. I'll add my chart. @Sez281 what do u think? Xx

Ooooh you're definitely getting close to it @Jadeypie I'd say you'll hit peak tomorrow or if not then 💯 the next day 👌 Do you have any other ovulation signs? It will say high first but if you do another later and it's lower then that's when it changes to say "peak" It's really interesting actually 😂

@Sez281 I havnt had any signs as of yet but I'm hoping I hit peak tomorrow or soon haha it's mad how it works it all out so what number does it have to be for peak or does it really just go on the darkness of the test line? Xx

If you hit peak tomorrow that'll mean ovulation usually the day after 🤞 Everybody's peak number is different but yeah it's basically when the test line is darker than the control one xx

Hey ladies,

Hope your all good!

Feel like I've fell off the ttc bandwagon unintentionally!! So much going on with house as builders are about to take over the kitchen in 7 days for 2 whole weeks 😱 I'm cd10, haven't done any opk yet but will try and start them tomorrow 🙏 I'm full of a cold though so not great timing, although cold and flu tablets may help 🤣🤣 been religiously taking my coq10 and omega3 supplements, I had to reduce the omega 3 to one capsule a day as I felt like I could taste the fish oil 😷😷 I feel and look rough as toast so doubt the bf will want to come anywhere near me atm 😭

Good luck this month ladies 🙏🙏 xx

@Westy22 oh I hated our kitchen getting done it took weeks. I did love the end result and it's my favourite room of the house!! I feel like I'm getting a cold again I just crnt seem to kick them long enough before another one hits! Least your still on your vitimin game hahah.

@Sez281 my okp have dropped so no peak for me so I will carry on the testing I don't think me and these sticks get on haha and now am lying in bed pissed off because I thought I would of got a peak!

How's everyone els getting on xx

@Westy22 that sounds so stressful, will be totally worth it when it's done though I'm sure! You're prob not even in window yet so I wouldn't worry about it. Actually a distraction and relaxed cycle is probably the way to go

@Jadeypie did you test again later on CD14? It was definitely rising so if not there's a chance you might have just missed the peak. If not keep testing you might just hit peak later 🤞

I'm currently in hospital bed waiting to be brought down for my surgery. I'm having 3 procedures but will be asleep for all of it. I'm having a laparoscopy, a hysterocopy and a hycosy. I'm going to be out of action for a while after it but hopefully it clears me out a bit for next cycle or worst case scenario I have an explanation for what's going on and can make a plan going forward 🙏

@Sez281 good luck lovely - hope all goes well and that you get some positive answers. X

@Sez281 oh good luck for today! Hopefully it won't hurt to much. I hope all's well xx

@Sez281 that came round quick. I still havent got an appointment 🤬.... your defo getting the full fertility works lol even if you have to have a cycle off trying,at least you know all your bits have been spruced up and ready to go lol hope recovery is quick x

@Sez281 hope everything has went well today and you haven’t too long to wait to get some answers 💜
