Yeh, we all started somewhere but those posts are difficult to see sometimesand those struggling don’t want someone trying for 3 days and then posting positive pregnancy tests, so it might be better for everyone
Yes, after losses I was told to take 5mg a day.Has anyone been prescribed a higher dose of folic acid when trying to get pregnant?
Thanks and congratulations to you for your little one!I too had an ectopic and 3 month pause, did me the world of good. Fell pregnant 3 months later now have a toddler so wishing you the best
Hi, I definitely get very blocked up around ovulation time too, like a bit constipated maybe, absolutely does not make me feel like doing the deed at allHi, new to this thread and I’ve been hesitant to post here as I have a 3 year old but it took a long time and I had a miscarriage which completely messed with my head before we had our daughter. I’ve had a couple of miscarriages after having her too. Haven’t been actively trying recently, I got a bit too obsessed with ovulation testing and online forums etc before I had her so been determined not to get in that headspace again and for a while felt like I’d be ok if we didn’t have another but recently I’m feeling very broody again and want to try properly.
Apologies if this sort of thing has been discussed before but I’m wondering if anyone else gets really bloated around ovulation and experiences quite painful trapped wind type pains? I got that on Thursday last week, which was CD13, I have only started testing with clear blue ovulation tests this month and based on my cycle length started testing on CD14 but I’ve had no smiley face yet and I’m wondering whether my ovulation actually happens earlier in my cycle than I think and is when I have the horrible bloating/trapped wind - hardly when I feel my sexiest
I’m going to do the clear blue ovulation test again tomorrow but think I might have missed the smiley face - was just trying to work out my cycle better so I know for future months.
Hope I’m not in the wrong place, if there’s another thread for people trying for their second babies, please let me know x
I used the CB digital (the purple ones) and they worked for me. We also just decided to have sex every second day too no matter what the tests said to just cover all bases so to speak.Has anyone any experience with the clear blue ovulation tests? I’ve been ttc properly since about June. I’ve used the easy at home ovulation strips from Amazon, sparsely at first but then had gotten the hang of using them and tracking with the Premom app. No joy on conceiving though!
Two friend’s recommended the Clear Blue test kit. I got 10 of the purple tests in a bundle with the Seven Seas trying for a baby vitamins from Boots. Easy to use, I started tracking on CD10. A couple days of negatives, then the flashy smiley face, indicating high fertility on day 14, 15, 16 & 17! No solid smiley face to indicate peak fertility though. I had begun testing twice a day on days 15 & 16 and we had been really trying everyday in the bedroom too!
So I ran out of test sticks. I couldn’t find the purple sticks in the pharmacies, only the pink Clear Blue sticks. So tried two of those last night, and they both gave an error. Honestly, I was so frustrated and annoyed that it put me in a bad mood as I had flushed away my concentrated weeand couldn’t do another! Plus these tests are so booody expensive. I’ve spent near €70 this month. So we didn’t do it last night! Negative circle on test this morning so so frustrating
Update - I just got my period at CD18 🫠 so that might explain no LH surge but the CB tests picked up on estrogen rise. This is so unusual for me as I am usually on a 28-30 day regular cycleHas anyone any experience with the clear blue ovulation tests? I’ve been ttc properly since about June.
