Yes, the journey is quite different, but I’m hopeful for all of us.
i ended my prenatal tablets and i am too lasy to go grab a new one haha! maybe next cycle i go for another brand. I want to focus more on diet actually, i heard a posdczst about egg quality, thye say results might show only after 3 months.. so guess i have time ahead.

MrsS11 · 29/09/2024 15:45

@HeartyPanda welcome 🙂 hopefully this is your month! Whatever you're eating, NHS advise to start folic acid asap, ideally a few months before conception (but obviously lots of people can't and are fine) to prevent neural tube problems in baby. So maybe start with that and add in as you feel you want to, though folates/folic acid will be in all your general fertility vitamins.

Evap rrrrrrgghhh

Lucky october?🤞🏼
Emiily887 · 29/09/2024 18:56

Welcome @HeartyPanda! I think we’re all a week or so behind you but I’m already invested in your journey🩷 I definitely second starting folic acid early🥰 fingers crossed for you lovely!

Evap rrrrrrgghhh

Is this definitely an evap?! It looks very similar to the one I had, it did end in chemical but surely that can’t be an evap?!😱🩷

@Emiily887 I’m cycle day 5 today, we’re so close! Mine is starting to tail off today too. Yes the feelings of sadness quickly have turned into hope again so that’s something.
I tried BBT last cycle but it was my first time doing it so I didn’t really know what I was looking for either!
I did it as soon as I woke up. It stays around your average BBT until just before ov where it dips, then it increases afterwards, I tracked it all the way til AF where it stayed high but then it dipped again as AF came. If you’re pregnant it stays high apparently. I don’t know much about it that’s just what I read/have been told but let us know how it goes!
I’ve ordered some male supplements so DH is going to start those for this cycle. I’ve decided I want to try opk and maybe preseed for this time.

We are very close aren’t we! I’m glad you’re starting to feel less sad, it’s been such a whirlwind!
Thank you for the info about bbt! I’ve never done it before so this is new but figured it may help me get more of an insight into my cycles! So I should expect a drop before ov then a rise? Its remembering to do it each morning before I get up that’s going to be the test, I am so forgetful😂😂
I tried conceive plus last cycle but debating swapping to preseed for this cycle. Also going to hold off opk’s until around cd12/13 as I never ovulate earlier than cd16 so I figured remove the stress of those for a few extra days this month (unless bbt is suggesting something different). Has anyone use the clear blue ovulation kits? I usually use the easy at home strips!

I really don’t know, I think these asda tests are a bit naughty and give false readings🩷

this is it now

@Emiily887 @LuxyLocket sorry replying late, a busy weekend! I'm CD6 today so I think we'll all be testing around the same time again!

owlcat24 · 29/09/2024 20:06

The testing process is so nerve racking! Gooood luck 🍀 hopefully you will get your BFP tomorrow. Keep us updated 🤞🏻

SlimGin · 29/09/2024 21:30

@Emiily887 apologies I had such a busy weekend. I have tested this morning and yesterday morning, both very stark BFNs, so just waiting for AF now.
I haven't looked into any supplements or diets so will be looking into that next!
Hope all have had good weekends x

Pinkflamingo77 · 30/09/2024 07:59

I’m a bit late to the party but Hi TTC buddies!! AF came for me today so I’m also hoping for a bit of luck this month. I’ll be ovulating around 14th according to my app and going to try to relax and not test til 14dpo this cycle. Last month I was symptom spotting & testing like crazy from 6dpo and it was not good for the morale…

MamaSads · 30/09/2024 08:47

Hi all, wishing us all the best luck this month. AF came on Saturday, so I'm cd3 and due to ovulate on 11th October, 2nd month ttc. Feeling nervous as when I had my daughter (7years ago!) It took nearly a year for us to conceive so I'm hoping it is quicker this time. Fingers crossed for everyone here x

owlcat24 · 30/09/2024 10:53

@LucyLou0527 have you tested this morning? X

I spoke too soon!

AF is now here and officially CD1🥰

@LucyLou0527 hey lovely, hope you feeling better. get some rest. It's always frustrating when AF is late. I hate when it happens. wishing you a nice ride for this month and for all of us having big hopes in this sweet october month.
