Thank you! 😊

Well I’m around 7dpo today and my boobs are a lot more sensitive than usual.

Hormones are so cruel!! 🙈😭
Hormones are arseholes. I have a lot of weird feelings going on in my body but my temperature is allllll over the place and AF is due in a couple of days ☹

No bleeding after sex or pain no. Just these horrible pains. I've suspected endo but it's so hard to talk to doctors about. I have a GP appointment in a couple weeks and no idea how to go about it
Just tell them you have pains you’re concerned about usually just before your period and explain what it feels like and they will likely ask you other questions. Don’t be afraid to speak up about something that’s bothering you.

How much folic acid or folate do you all take? I only take what’s in my Proceive supplement which is 400mcg but it starts with the egg says you should take 800! Also does anyone take bromelain? Supposed to help with implantation…
I’m on 5mg, can only get it on prescription. Was after a diagnosis of recurrent miscarriages.

Ok so I caved and I grabbed a test from sainsburys whilst picking up the salad for our tea tonight. Didn’t get a clearblue because I promised myself I wouldn’t get a test anyway yet 😂 so got a cheapie £3 one. Now it’s come back with a faint line and Google is full of bad stories about false positives with these sainsburys ones so I’m none the wiser. What do you ladies think? Is it just evaporation line?

First photo is straight away, second photo is an hour later. View attachment 1434971

Looks positive to me, I can't even see a difference between the two photos so doesn't seem like evaporation. Congratulations! 💕

My partner refuses to use pre seed again he says it made him feel numb!
Do people generally DTD every day or every other day during the fertile window?

AF due today. Annoyingly my app now says it’s due tomorrow? Really tempted to test tomorrow if still no sign of AF.

@Pineapple55 i still have spotting for 3-4 days now. Still negative, no AF. What the! I have no girlfriends trying for a kid so I have basically no one to vent to! But omg, can something just happen lol
Argh it's taking so long! I get spotting before AF but that's usual for me so I expect it. Could be implantation bleeding 🤞🏻

Sorry- did your period turn up? That’s what I meant 😊
Oh! Nope not yet. 12DPO today and nothing of sign of AF or symptoms today. I ovulated I think On the 14th July but did the DTD from 3rd July till 11th July (as the app told me) and went overseas that night of the 11th. I think I felt ovulation on the 14th. Sorry; does that make sense lol. So really unsure you know...

Anyone else ovulate every second cycle? Been tracking with bbt and opk for 5 months and every second cycle seems to be a dud. Starting to worry. Over in the uk and over 35 so my Gp is doing blood tests and I’m getting a ultrasound next month.

Nope, we live in a really high cost of living area and both our parents are from the other side of the country, over 2 hours drive away. No relatives around this way. I did recently have an opportunity to move closer to our parents with a new job but OHs locked into a contract down here plus we can’t afford to move at present. Career wise if I give up as I’m a registered NHS professional I have to go back within two years or I lose my registration so we have to pay childcare… 😐
I still lurk here from time to time.
Please don't let the climate be the deciding factor.
I'm NHS too and have given up, but my circumstances are slightly different I fell pregnant with twins and nursery would of actually cost us £2000 a month.
But if you can reduce your hours down at work you can actually still work and pay decent nursery fees without it breaking the bank.

My fertile window begins tomorrow but i’m so not feeling it this week. Work is mega busy (I work in large scale events) and I just cannae be arsed lol 😴
So tempted to just DTD once or twice as opposed to every single night.
we do every second night during fertile window if that helps

I’ve stopped drinking coffee (doesn’t do much to me anyway), drinking more milk. Using this diagram as a base where I can:

I’m struggling today. DPO 5 and my LH is having a wobble and my BBT is going down, but still above baseline. Works really quiet at the moment so i have a lack of distraction.
Thanks so much for this. I eat so much of that diagram, but I do need to increase in my intake of fruit and fish...

Quoting myself with an update - I don't really have anyone to chat to about these things (apart from my partner) so I appreciate reading all of the posts here and it serves to just let me get it out there 😅
View attachment 1419969Shocked to say the least. The weird barely-there period was maybe implantation? Terrified due to a MMC at 11 weeks in 2020. Here's to hoping all stays well and I wish so much love and support to all on the thread.
Congratulations!!! Massively hoping all runs smoothly for you 💖

Guys, I spotted this morning , as I wiped and It was light red . Normally AF arrives just like that. I’m 15 DPO, I pee al day and no more spotting. What does it mean? I’m on a vacation in America atm so I don’t want to go out and buy another test because my family don’t know I’m ttc.

My app now says AF due tomorrow (originally said yesterday?). I tested earlier today but it wasn’t first thing in the morning as I didn’t have a test. Anyways, BFN. Might test first thing tomorrow if still no sign of AF. Lets see
