Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

*niptuckfan*

Rambosmum - glad not just me lol! technically should be due on today but i know myself it may take a while to settle down period wise...i could be preg as have been dtd but i not starting tests etc yet as think just make a rod for my own back so to speak

Baby06 I doing weight watchers so very similar to you – I used to be fair bit bigger and like to keep at ww to maintain or reign myself in if I had a few months of weight coming back on – ideally If I fall pregnant I don’t want to just go daft and eat for 3 lol so want to try and keep at the healthy eating

CD7 and AF appears to be over, at last. That's the longest AF I've had since...well..I don't actually remember one ever being that long. Is that a bad sign?

I've switched to Ren moisturiser. I looked at La Roche Posay, but they (or at least their parent company, L'Oreal) are heavily involved in animal testing, which is a big no-no in my house. Ren moisturisers are quite thick, so I thought it would clog my pores, but it's actually been really good. A little bit goes a long way. Plus, sometimes the dispenser makes a convincing fart sound, and I get an immature giggle out of that :laugh:

My apps aren't massively out of sync with each other - Glow says Monday is the start of the fertile window, FF says Sunday. Why can they not just invent an app which would do the best bits of all the fertility apps? I like FF for its reassuring scientific data collection style, but I like Glow's friendly visual graphics. I also like to chuckle at Glow's forum. It appears to be used by a lot of clueless young woman, asking questions like "I have AF - could I be pregnant?", "I'm not pregnant, but I think I have breast milk", or my favourite one asking if you could get pregnant as a result of a threesome. Where are these people during sex ed lessons? :eek:

According to Glow AF is due today, and she was wonderful at guessing correctly last month, but not had anything yet. I know I can't possibly be pg as I only DTD on CD12 and CD17

I think I might try the La Roche Posay creams - I have always had bad skin and can't seem to shift some spots on my cheeks. It's been getting worse these past few months. Feel like a teenager again!


DH and I managed to BD this morning. Ovia says that it is peak ovulation today. Fingers crossed with it being the long weekend we can have some time alone.


Hope everyone is feeling ok and positive. At least we have a long weekend to look forward to

I get the effaclar duo serum from escentual.com It's usually on offer and I have saved it as my 'favourite' brand (or something like that) so I get an extra 10% off plus cashback through quidco. It's sometimes on offer in boots though so worth a look.

A couple of years ago, my skin was so bad I couldn't look in the mirror without crying. It was really tough as I had to take roaccutane for it in my early 20s and had assumed it would be gone for good. I literally walked into boots on the way home from work, said give me something to cover up my face and burst into tears! The no7 lady sorted me out with a heavy matte foundation and it did boost my confidence hugely. I don't need that one now but I'm still a foundation addict

Kellykins, thanks for the lists - was disappointed to see you back on CD2, hope all's ok. Big hugs x

ah thanks lovely.

yes massive disappointment 2 days late - dr google obviously stated i must be pregnant at 19 days post trigger!! then she arrived...

Took a few days out, had a few tears.. sorted myself out and now ready to face cycle number 2 of clomid and the HCG injection. as OH says... Rome wasnt built in a day .. onwards and upwards.

Next AF will be due on my sisters wedding.... so ill have things to take my mind off it.

hope everyone is well.

Going for 3, please Kellykins.

Dr Google is the worst doctor in the world. One minute I'm checking to confirm I've got the symptoms of hay fever, the next thing I know I'm convinced I'm about to drop dead from a prostate problem :rotfl: Onwards and upwards indeed - all the good karma you've got from helping us lot will bring you your baby

Argh!!!!! I am not sure if I am ovulating

CD10 - nothing on internet cheapie or Clearblue
CD11- CB peak - Internet cheapie - nothing
CD12 - didn't test
CD13 - CB still peak - internet cheapie nothing
CD14 - didn't test
CD15 - CB still peak - internet cheapie nothing
CD16 - (today) CB still peak - internet cheapie a visible line (not v strong but there)

So is it that CB got it wrong and showed peak (skipped past high) too early?
We are following SMEP so today should be skip a day......

THoughts?

Babyb, not a clue I'm afraid - but I'd try to dtd just in case. Have you noticed any cm? I find that's one of my most reliable signs of ovulating.

Good luck, sorry I'm not being more helpful - this ttc lark can be so confusing!

Black_Ribboner

Kellykins, I'm going to guess 4 for May, please. Glad to hear your OH is being so supportive - st least you are definitely ovulating now, fingers crossed for a sticky bean soon
