How are you finding them? Read mixed reviews. X

LuxyLocket · 07/10/2024 18:14

@EagerBiscuit I’m getting on ok with them.been taking them for a few months. We conceived first time without really trying (just preventing) back in June. Sadly that ended in a mc in the august. Still kept up the proceive though and also the omega 3.
I do take boots max strength co-q10 alongside.
so hard to say, no luck for us last month, which was our first month ttc after the mc, but we did fall pregnant right away the first time. It’s hard to say if it’s the supplements or just luck. My cycles did come back like clockwork after the mc though which I was amazed at so do partly put that down to the supplements.

MyGardenDaisies · 07/10/2024 18:21

Hey @han311 ! Quite a few of us now with the same cycle days ! Fingers crossed 🤞
when are you planning to test?

Emiily887 · 07/10/2024 18:36

Welcome ladies🩷 lovely that there is so many of us🥲
CD14 today and opk are still very much negative….hopefully start to rise tomorrow like normal 🤞🏼 it’s strange because even though never see a rise until at least CD15 with my peak usually being between CD16-18, I’m over thinking it this month!😂
I think because of the chemical last month I’m panicking that I won’t ovulate and a month will be gone. Silly I know!🫣

@Emiily887 It’s not silly at all, it’s totally valid to worry you won’t ovulate especially after the chemical you’re bound to be feeling a bit more anxious about that. Hugs 💕
if your cd14 there is still plenty of time to ovulate. You might just ovulate later this month. I’m sure it does fluctuate within a few days or so and can’t always be bang on. I’ve ovulated earlier this month than usual. Thinking if you and I bet all of a sudden you’ll get that positive opk!

Pricklypickles · 07/10/2024 19:27

Hi everyone, been lurking but wanted to post as can see there are some similar dates to my own!
Cycle day 17, 2 DPO (or so). Expecting period on 18th October. My cycles are like clockwork.
We're trying for our second child. It's been a couple of months of actively trying (rather than stopping preventing). Last month I was convinced I was pregnant, and felt various symptoms that I was sure were not normal, but here I am. Not feeling this month will be the lucky one though.
Fortunately, have lots going on to keep me busy and stopping me from dwelling on things too much.

I know that's the problem.. is it sheer luck of something you do differently.
I think ill give them a go. Let's hope they bring some magic ✨️

han311 · 07/10/2024 20:54

@MyGardenDaisies hello! ☺️ yes it's lovely to have a few of us on the same schedule!! I'd love to say I'll wait til AF is due, or at least 11dpo but in reality I'm probably test on Thursday on my day off when I can go and sneakily get some tests, and then be miserable when it'll no doubt be a bfn because it'll be far too early 😂 I didn't test til the day my period was due (14dpo according to flo) with my daughter and even then it was faint on the first cheapie I did. What about you lovely?? Xx

han311 · 07/10/2024 21:00

@Pricklypickles welcome! Sorry about last month, it's horrible when your body/mind convince you and then it doesn't happen. Wishing you all the best for this month. My AF is due (but hopefully staying away) on the 18th too xx

MyGardenDaisies · 07/10/2024 21:03

@han311 I had an absolute squinter as well at 10 or 11 DPO with first baby.

I haven’t got any tests at home and have agreed to test with my husband next Tuesday, when my period is due

han311 · 07/10/2024 21:06

@MyGardenDaisies I think not having any tests at home is the best way, I am far too easily tempted once I have them here. Oooo I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you! Xx

Thank you lovely 🩷 I’ll probably ovulate as normal and then wonder why I was panicking😂
How are you feeling? X

MummyMammoth · 07/10/2024 21:20

@han311 12DPO so mega early 🙈🙈 on luteal phase progesterone as I’m under recurrent miscarriage clinic. Tested with my daughter at 13DPO… I’ll make sure it’s still positive in the morning before I start my blood thinners!!

Thank you for your lovely message 😍

MyGardenDaisies · 07/10/2024 21:32

@Joleyjojo we shall see! Never get too excited, we’ve had 10 miscarriages and only have 1 daughter so we shall see! Everything in the world crossed. Thank you!!

Hello ladies - can I join? I'm 35 with one tube after ectopic a few years back. Had a mc in June and now trying again. On cycle 3.

AF arrived yesterday and I had utterly convinced myself this might be our month as I had pregnancy symptoms - cotton mouth, feeling sick, cramps over tww - I'm so confused :(

Has anyone else had this?

Edited

Last month was my first cycle back TTC after taking a break as I had a chemical pregnancy earlier in the year. I was so certain we had conceived as I had all the same symptoms as I did with my first pregnancy, my boobs were so swollen, they looked like Halloween eyeballs with all the blue vains 😅 my period was even late but after 2 negative early detection tests, I got AF. I think it's psychological, I've never had that before in my TTC journey. It's sounds crazy right but there's so many women on here having symptoms when TTC then getting AF, it has to be a thing. A cruel thing might I add. 🤦🏽‍♀️

HA22 · 08/10/2024 11:05

@AnonymousSGJB it definitely is a thing - the mind is very powerful!

LuxyLocket · 08/10/2024 11:40

@AnonymousSGJB I had lots of ‘signs’ last cycle ttc similar to the signs I had last time in the tww when I had conceived and I wasn’t pregnant so the mind and body do definitely play cruel tricks on us.
I also had the veiny boobs both times!!! I know it’s soo easy to say and I probably won’t stick to this but going to try and relax a bit more and not obsessively symptom spot this time. Wishing you all the baby dust for this cycle! Where abouts in your cycle are you?
