The NHS says you can take paracetamol, just use the lowest dose that works xxIts 3DPO and I have the worst ear infection. The doctors have given me a spray for my ear but its not working and they are refusing antibiotics and I'm popping painkillers like sweets. I'm so scared that if I have conceived this month that I'm causing harm to the baby.
That makes me feel better, just hope the spray they have given me kicks in soon.The NHS says you can take paracetamol, just use the lowest dose that works xx

It's just so disheartening isn't it. Take care of yourself and enjoy a couple of drinks or a treat xI'm out once again. Spotting and negative test. Should be used to this by now but I'm not.
For ne I find it all a deeply personal issue. I haven’t told anyone that we’re TTC as i just don’t want to discuss it. I have also had lots of friends who have been very open about it. I also don’t want the pity party that it’s taking us so long. It does frustrate me though every time someone asks about it I just feel like telling them we are trying and struggling to see the look on their face,!When if at all do people start telling family/friends that you’re TTC or struggling to? We’ve chosen to keep everything quiet for the time being but our friends have been way more open, announcing they were TTC last July and they’re not pregnant yet. I’m not sure I could deal with that pressure of everyone knowing you’re trying especially when it takes longer than you anticipate.
I say I’m on a diet xI also get paranoid that family and close friends will think I’m already pregnant when I’m not.
I would try to leave at least 24 hours between drinking days as much as possible because of the livers function in fertility and the potential of it being overused by detoxing the alcohol. Not being judge-y at all because clearly I like a drink myself lol.Thanks for your feedback ladies.
i think I will finish the current bag of teabags and then go decafwaste not want not.
And your take on alcohol is an interesting and useful one thanks @Its_Me I may try that rule too. I guess if I only allow a drink on a Friday / Saturday it would be 2 drinks each night. But the 2 week window is so long
Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks for the advice!I would try to leave at least 24 hours between drinking days as much as possible because of the livers function in fertility and the potential of it being overused by detoxing the alcohol.

No worries babe and of course I’m not an expert just saying what I do based on what I’ve read from the book and other stuff. In an ideal world I wouldn’t drink at all until pregnant and given birth but how long are we going to wait for that? People try for 10 years doing everything ‘right’ and don’t conceive whereas people like you said drink all weekend and still have success. So realistically there has to be a balance. Bear in mind though the advice is different if you’re doing IVF xOh I didn’t know that! Thanks for the advice!
Oh that’s so strange, my ovulation seems to be late this month too! My peak is usually CD13, but I’m now on CD14 without any sign. Hopefully it happens later today and I will ovulate tomorrow.I’m CD14 and should be ovulating today, but I don’t think I’ve had a peak OPK. I’ve had one which I thought that the line was *almost* the same, but the app scanned it in as high rather than peak, and when I’ve tested this morning it’s lighter. Not sure whether that’s just because LH levels rise as the day goes on, or if I could have missed my peak/not actually had one.
I’m using the Femometer OPKs which I don’t actually love - has anyone else tried them? I feel like they take longer to start even showing a second line compared to other brands I’ve tried. But I do actually really like the app.
Totally familiar! I get this tooI have slightly shorter cycles (24-26 days on average) and I’m currently CD25 and have a bit of tummy pain - is it period cramps starting or do I just need a poo? Anyone else have this struggle or is it just me
