Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 11

a_fresh_start

Sorry to hear about AF arriving blueneleh and everyone else waiting for her to leave.

I think I've ovulated, although ive had some pretty conflicting signs this month- I'm either 1dpo or 5 dpo! :rotfl: I was convinced i ovulated earlier, but now not so sure. I'm hoping I'm 5dpo as we had plenty BD to coincide with that one, and only one chance to BD if I did ov yesterday . FF keeps changing it's mind, and I only need to discard 1 temp (that I'm not certain about) for it to shift the crosshairs from CD 17 To CD 21. what would you girls go with? Unfortunately I seem to have had 2 patches of EWCM this month, just to confuse things even more.

Oh and there's always the fact that I'm on CD22 and for the last two months have averaged 25/26 day cycle

Urgh I just don't know- hope everyone else is faring better than me!!!!

Sorry to hear about AF blueneleh

Sorry for those waiting to ov, why can't there be a sure sign of it? Maybe mother nature can send you a text saying "do it, NOW"

AFM - BFN at the moment. OH found my small mountain of tests in the bin and asked me when I've been testing and has said not to test until Saturday if AF hasn't arrived because he's off then and I think he's convinced I'm pregnant :rotfl:

Hugs to all who need them!

Can I ask if anyone here is exempt from paying nhs prescriptions as had to pay for their ivf drugs?? Im getting my drugs in a couple of weeks and I am exempt from paying for all prescriptions. Just seeing if any of you lovely people have experienced this??

Had a bit of a meltdown last night about this TTC business! I'm 8dpo and at this point last month I started to get a bit twingey, followed by spotting on 9dpo and full AF at 10dpo. Trying to remain positive but I've convinced myself that AF is on it's way. I'm worried that it's down to my short ish LP and have been doing some research on it.

With DD I fell pregnant on cycle 4 (where I'm at now) but I don't know what my LP was like then. The only thing I remember was that my cycles were regular, but they are regular now just in the wrong way!

Anyway, I know some people have had success with Agnus Cactus, and I've also read that many have been taking B6 successfully. Has anyone here used B6? From what I can tell my LP is borderline short, so even if I could only increase it by a day, it could make a difference. Also booked in for reflexology next week if I'm not PG this time around.

Good luck to all the other ladies hoping that AF stays away!

Yup on B6 here now and was when concieving but didn't help I dont think. I fell 3 or so months after starting it.

Hugs to you! I feel ya about the confusion. Really considering starting to temp and use OPKs next month (will be month 5). I have only had EWCM to go by so far and I seemed to have had it over the course of about 5 days this month starting on cd11, even tho I've been having 29 day cycles!! Confused or what?! Today is cd25 and am imagining lots of twinges, really don't know what it going on. Trying not to think about it too much and enjoy my weekend. Probably not going to check here again until cd1 or BFP, whichever comes first!! Need to try and chill!

Musogirl, my folic acid supplement has added b6, I've now been taking them for 3 months. My cycle so far is 25/26 days with a LP of 11 days, and I should know soon if it's made a difference depending on when (if!!) AF shows up. Although any changes could also be due to coming off the pill. Ah nothing is simple in this!

My thinking is that b6 can't hurt....

That's my thinking too. Do you know what the dosage of B6 is in your supplement? Most of the stuff I've been reading recommends taking between 50 and 200 mg daily, but I've also read stuff suggesting that there could be different issues with taking 200mg. Holland and Barrett sell it in 50 mg and 100 mg capsules, so was thinking I'd start with the 50 and see how I get on.

Just looked up my vitamins and it was a 7seas one, with only 2mg of b6 (143% RDA), so id go with the lower dose of 50mg? I now hope my b6 intake was enough to make a difference and not just a token gesture!!!

Eta: I've just noticed my berocca has 7mg (507% RDA), so at least it's bit more. Plus I think a relatively healthy diet should help too?

Wow, that's a big difference! I'll definitely start with the 50mg then!
