Hi @hotmalibu94.

I’m good thanks, still bfn today at 11dpo but temps still high so we’ll see what happens.

@Ncl31 how are you today ?

the other thread got full so I started a new one 😊

I’ll add now all I can remember but keep adding who else I missed!
@pinkmarshmalloww@Huriya @thejollytrolleydolly @ginny93@MorningsideMaisie@Myna13

@hotmalibu94 sounds like you’re getting into your fertile week soon so that’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

@CatiaR Sounds like excellent timing, glad you managed to beat the dreadful summer weather we had!

How is everyone doing? My LH tests have started to come out a lot more darker a lot earlier than last month. Not sure if I'm going to ovulate early or if I'm taking them more accurately, ha! I'm off abroad with work at the crack of dawn on Friday so hoping we get our window before then 🤞

CatiaR · 17/09/2023 12:47

@etaketak1991 ovulation must be near then!

doing good! A lot more CM starting now that I’m in the fertile week. Mine seem to stay low and then spike so just waiting to see. Premom and flo predict differently but premom has been more accurately so far. Although my cycles can be a bit all over the place so I can’t trust those too much.

ooh work trip! Hopefully you’re going somewhere nice 😊

Officially on CD2 with a 9 day luteal phase last month 😭
This month we are taking his and hers pregnacare conception tablets and I'm going to try and start taking vitamin C and vitamin B6 in high doses to try and elongate the luteal phase 🤞

Hotmalibu94 · 17/09/2023 18:24

Gonna be quiet whilst we are away now but good luck for fertile week guys! 🤞

etaketak1991 · 17/09/2023 18:28

@CatiaR Yeah last month mine were always almost at 0 before spiking then falling back down, premom read my test at 0.3 today so we'll see 🤔 I'm off to Cologne! Haven't been before, so looking forward to it.
@Hotmalibu94 Oh no, sorry to hear it was so short for you! Fingers crossed the vitamins can work their magic for this cycle! Enjoy your break!

Hollie1802 · 17/09/2023 18:29

@etaketak1991 @CatiaR Good luck as you both go into your fertile phase!! Such an exciting time 😊

@Hotmalibu94 Aw I'm sorry to hear AF reared her ugly head! Good luck with the supplements, I have also looked at a few for this month but haven't decided on anything yet - need to hurry up though!! Have a lovely time away, it'll be our fertile time before we know it!

CatiaR · 17/09/2023 21:15

@etaketak1991 ooh exciting have fun!

@Hotmalibu94 aw sorry AF showed but enjoy your break!

@Hollie1802 arguably the best part of the whole cycle perhaps 😂 trying my best to be chill this month so we’ll see how it goes.

Myna13 · 18/09/2023 20:20

@CatiaR thanks for adding me! I've been quiet this month because it's just been a super busy month. We aren't trying this month. Not by choice. A lot of family stuff cropped up, and DH is back to school. We just haven't been able to time dtd this month. I'm on CD19 today. Ovulated 2 days ago, but didn't manage to time it well. So just going to make it through this cycle and focus on trying again next month.
Hope you are all having a good month! Good luck and I really hope this is the month for some of you <3

CatiaR · 18/09/2023 21:22

@Myna13 hiya lovely sorry to hear its so busy for you this month, take it easy and hopefully all goes well next month!

taking it as chill as I can this cycle 😊 sending baby dust to all ✨

OP posts:
Hotmalibu94 · 19/09/2023 10:43

Hey all! Hope you're all well 😁
Have started Vitamin B complex this morning so hopefully that will help elongate my luteal phase a little. I'm starting with 2 capsules a day to equal 100mg b6. Shall let you know how that goes :) have vitamin c at home so I'll start that too at some point, might wait til next cycle to start that properly.

etaketak1991 · 19/09/2023 11:21

Looks like yesterday was probably my peak day! BBT hasn't jumped up as much as I'd like though 🤔 Two days earlier than last month! Glad I'm tracking this month or I'd totally have missed it, my CM has been weirdly inconsistent too 🤷

@Hotmalibu94 Super! Hope it works well for you 🤞

Heya everyone how you all doing?
Ive puking like an animal (Sorry TMI) ended up being admitted last week with hyperemesis and needed iv fluids.

Hows everyone keeping? Any more BFPs?

Ncl31 · 20/09/2023 03:48

@Huriya im so sorry to hear you’ve been so poorly. I hope it all settles soon for you.
no BFP here, just hoping I can have a more normal length cycle this month, my last cycles was 78 days.

CatiaR · 20/09/2023 17:05

@Hotmalibu94 thats great hopefully it helps! Keep us posted and lots of baby dust ✨

@etaketak1991 onto the TWW then! Exciting.

@Huriya sorry to hear you’ve been poorly, hopefully they can give you something to help.

just waiting for ovulation to come, premom thought tomorrow but doesnt seem like it just yet. Flo thinks friday which may be more accurate. Testing twice a day for now to catch that increase and BD every 2 days if I can (DH was tired today but may stretch to 2-3 days but trying to not expect too much out of this month and keep it chill

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 20/09/2023 17:12

@CatiaR Yup, in the TWW now! Feeling more chill about it this month, but we'll see how I'm doing in 7 days or so 😂 Good luck with ovulation, hope it comes soon for you!

CatiaR · 20/09/2023 17:44

@etaketak1991 thanks! Thats true, I’ve said the same for the last 2 months but nope 😂
to be fair tho I’ve gotten progressively better and this is only our third cycle trying so I’d say were getting there. Does seem like after actively trying my cycles want to be on the longer side but at least I know what to expect now. Will try to convince DH for some BD tonight but tomorrow will be fine too. They do say every 2-3 is good so will keep at that till I can pinpoint ovulation then I may do the day of and the day after just to wrap it up. Flo predicts Saturday (cd19) ovulation which considering I’ve ovulated on cd 24 last month could be more likely but definitely in fertile week with plenty of EWCM so I’m sure it will turn up.

I gotta be honest BBT is great as at least so far has been great at telling me if AF is coming. My cycles can be shorter or longer so I don’t 100% know if its due that week or the week after. So I’ll hopefully hold onto that instead of doing pregnancy tests this cycle (easier said than done but I’ll try! 😂)

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 21/09/2023 18:30

I got my cover line today on premom so feeling positive! How are you doing, @CatiaR ? Any sign of ovulation yet?

CatiaR · 21/09/2023 20:37

@etaketak1991 exciting! Not yet. Premom still thinks my cycle is like 30 days but avg is 33 so probably still adjusting to how my cycles actually are. Flo predicts Saturday so we’ll see. Definitely have ewcm and been BD every 2-3 days so will keep at it. I know LH for me increases quickly so testing twice a day for now. Should be at the latest sometime next week. I seem to ovulate later in my cycle. But doesn’t matter much my luteal phase still seems to be about 13-14 days so that’s ok. Feeling chilled for now.

fingers crossed for you ✨

Hey everyone,
I got too see my little bean today 🥰
Measuring slightly ahead at 8w2days.

How are you all?
@Hotmalibu94 @MorningsideMaisie @thejollytrolleydolly and everyone else its been a while since we last heard from you all.

Hotmalibu94 · 22/09/2023 16:37

Ahhh @Huriya I'm so happy for you. How are things now, more settled?

I'm ok thanks. On CD7 now. Have started my vit B and pregnacare, will see if it helps. First indication might be if I spot or not befor ovulation as that's happened the last two months.
Just feeling really down. Seeing family this weekend who are due in December and just wishing it wasn't taking so long. On cycle 5 now.

CatiaR · 22/09/2023 17:27

@Huriya Hiya lovely 😊 how exciting you got to see your little bean 🥰

@Hotmalibu94 hopefully this month will be better and the vit b helps! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

got my opk this afternoon so ovulating tomorrow! Flo was spot on this month while premom was 2 days off but at least ovulating on cd19 instead on 24 like last month so it will be a shorter cycle this time around.

been pretty chill so far BD every other day and going well, planning for tomorrow and Sunday and we wait again. TWW and two weeks annual leave so that’s gonna be fun! I definitely need a rest work has been absolutely manic!

excited about this cycle but trying to keep expectations low. Not planning on testing unless BBT stays up on AF day.
