thats really interesting! Thank you for your insight. Can I ask what your diet looks like without sugar in? I think I need to be more careful with mr diet in that sense. But not sure where to start. Maybe could others also share their diets if you don’t mind 😊 just to give me some ideas!

Sure! In reality I eat ‘low sugar’ as it’s impossible to avoid sugar entirely - it’s in bread etc. but I don’t eat any sweets or desserts, biscuits, definitely no cereal etc. I avoid sugary drinks, and I avoid sauces that are sweet or described as sticky (like teriyaki, or honey glazed stuff). I also avoid fruit. You may find that you don’t need to avoid fruit, some people are ok with fructose but at the time I wanted no sugar so that it wouldn’t interfere with my medication and it has been so helpful. I have been doing it for 4 months now.

I was never much of a sweet lover though and I never drank fizzy drinks so it wasn’t a big loss for me. After a few weeks I stopped caring and didn’t have the cravings either, even though I was a fruit fiend.

all of this doesn’t mean I eat healthy or avoid carbs. I eat chips, gravy, burgers, chicken nuggets, lasagne, pasta, meat, eggs, bacon etc. I just usually make the pasta sauce myself without sugar; low sugar ketchup or opt for mayo etc.

at the beginning because I didn’t know what to eat I just ate a lot of chips with cheese and gravy. Delicious 😂

@Muddysocks1how was the scan?

Ec2808 · 28/05/2025 12:43

feel soo tired today 😴normally full of energy in my fertile window 😑

@Muddysocks1how was the scan?

mixed… my lining was thicker than I’d anticipated (although at the lower end, 8.4mm) but I swear there were no follicles in one ovary, and the biggest follicle in the other was 15mm which seemed small considering I’d already had an LH surge the night before but hadn’t yet ovulated. Need to see what the clinic say..

On the upside though I had a really positive GP appt after and they’re referring to NHS fertility clinic, using my scan results and some private blood results which will save some time 🤞🏻

Ditto @Ec2808 i swear it’s the emotional stress of it all?

Ec2808 · 28/05/2025 12:46

@Muddysocks1 must be.. obsessed about it last month soo maybe the aftermath 😂

peanutForever · 28/05/2025 13:20

@Muddysocks1you must ovulate 48hrs after your peak then? as follicles grow a few mm each day so would give it enough time before the egg pops! And im really glad they are using your private blood tests! Lets hope you get a sticky bfp before you get referred anywhere though x

Yes that’s true, I read lots anecdotally about people having 15mm follicles and then by the time of ovulation they’re grown a bit, and 15mm can be ok on its own. Initially I thought it meant I was out this cycle but I don’t think so… also my temp didn’t rise this morning so it definitely is a bit slower than usual. But that’s a good thing in this case 🤞🏻x

LookForTheLiight · 28/05/2025 14:00

Anyone else around 8dpo? When are you testing? Longest 8 days ever and I don’t actually know for sure when I ovulated. Used the clear blue smiley tests but after the flashy one I forgot to keep going with them 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I’ve heard they’re not the best anyway?

SHD614012 · 28/05/2025 14:04

@LookForTheLiighti think I am 7/8DPO as im also not sure when exactly I ovulated and this has been the longest wait of my life, its taking everything in me not to test! I know that if I test it will still likely be negative as implantation happens between 8-11dpo but I really want to take one, my FRER tests arrived yesterday and I can feel them staring at me!! 🤣

Ec2808 · 28/05/2025 14:10

just had another friend announce her pregnancy feel very sad right now..second person in the last 3 weeks 😢

peanutForever · 28/05/2025 14:13

@LookForTheLiighti am 8/9dpo and i tested yday got a bfn and now i wont have tests come until friday (unless they deliver early tomorrow) i dont have much hope but i just want to know that im not pregnant so i can get over the sad part and look forward to the next cycle!

HennyPenny27 · 28/05/2025 14:34

@LookForTheLiightI am about 7/8 DPO and planning to test on Fri or Sat. Off to a fun event on Sat, so am using that as a point of focus, so I’m not just overly excited to test. It’s so hard haha

am44a · 28/05/2025 14:39

Ugh I think AF is starting and i’ve already had to take paracetamol an ibuprofen for the pain😣 I’m so confused with this cycle as I 100% had lines on Friday not sure if it was wondflo tests having indents or?

On another note my last cycle was 32 days and this one 30! Which is good as my cycles have been 34-38 for the past year and I was worried I wasn’t ovulating (most likely from stress). I had ewcm on CD 13 and 14 this cycle so guessing I actually did ovulate around cd 15ish? Which is so early for me but obviously way better! Unsure what the reason for us not conceiving is i’m guessing I missed my ovulation window this cycle however we usually bd frequently anyway so would’ve thought i’d catch on one of them aha
😅

So hard not to test!! Luckily I don’t have any in so I’m just trying to resist buying then I know I’ve got an extra day to wait. I might order some tomorrow for testing Friday 😬
ahhh so hard to resist if you have the actual tests too!

Really feel this it’s so hard isn’t it😢I’ve seen so many ppl announce and have their babies while ttc it’s awful I always feel so guilty for feeling jealous especially when it’s close family and friends. Also it’s so sad when it’s like a month you thought you’d be due and they’re now ready to give birth 😣x

Ec2808 · 28/05/2025 14:59

@am44a exactly plus I always get soo awkward trying to act nomal and happy.. 😭i am really happy for them but it just makes me soo sad after my chemical...my friend that just announced her pregnancy is due in december like i should have been soo it really hurts😢was soo positive up until today too 😔thank you for replying too feel very lonely! xx

rachael2308 · 28/05/2025 15:31

Hello ladies,
jumping over from the may thread. Current CD6 of cycle 4. Cycles seem to be regulating after having my implant out so fingers crossed we won’t be waiting too long.
im new to opks, when does everyone start using them? Last month I had a peak on cd15

Plumchumm · 28/05/2025 15:47

3dpo and so hungry :( progesterone cravings are so annoying

Howspieduh · 28/05/2025 15:58

I think it's ovulation day today (peak was yesterday) but my temp was already going up before LH spiked, so I'm a bit confused! I am currently under the weather so perhaps I just have a temp! It's not helpful!

YKM2829 · 28/05/2025 16:48

AF came yesterday, so I'm now on here waiting for 3rd-10th ovulation week 😮‍💨

bigbird1234 · 28/05/2025 17:27

@Ec2808yep, completely agree. And they seem to hit all the milestones so quickly while it feels like you're still at the starting line.

Ec2808 · 28/05/2025 17:46

@bigbird1234exactly 😔 sorry for the negative vibes promised myself wasn’t doing this this month just sad 😔

Iris2024 · 28/05/2025 19:00

Muddysocks1 · 28/05/2025 08:24

I had a surge on Monday afternoon/evening, peak Tuesday morning, but a scan Tuesday afternoon and I hadn’t ovulated yet! My BBT hasn’t gone up yet so think it is at least a day after my LH surge before ovulating. Which fits as I think they say you generally ovulate 24-36hrs after a surge. It’s the surge/onset to go by rather that the peak though ☺️

Ooooooo okay hun, is a surge when it starts getting darker? I’ve got my scan next week, so I’ll be in the 2 week wait 😂
