Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

No problem Wootsit - good luck. I can’t remember if it was both but there is at least one that you are meant to stop taking once you ovulate, I used OPKs to check this.

I know what you mean, I didn’t have anyone to talk to apart from on this board so glad I can pass some info on. Hope it works for you too!

Wootsit - my story is similar. I only had 3 periods in 7 months after coming off the pill. Then out of nowhere my cycles suddenly became 27 days. My luteal phase was only 7 days for the first cycle, I’m not sure about the second as we were on holiday and I didn’t use OPKs, then we conceived on my third ‘normal’ cycle. Good luck!

Thanks Ginger!

I am just going to be patient and hope that things even out! I have ordered the B6 and Agnus Castus and am going to see if that helps! The pill has a lot to answer for:rotfl: hopefully I will be lucky like you in time

Sorry AF has arrived for both of you.

I am due to OV any day now based upon the last two months. Hoping to see that spike in my temps this week! We have BD the last two days and hoping to BD tonight and tomorrow and fingers crossed that will cover us (if temps show a spike!)

CD25 for me so in those pesky few days where you hold your breath and hope you don't see red when you go for a wee haha.

All the birthday celebrations are over now so back on the healthy eating & I've signed up to a couch to 5k class so do running twice a week to try and shift some weight before our holiday in April.

I've had a bit of spotting yesterday & today So I've took the plunge & got a doctors appointment for the end of the month to start the ball rolling on some tests.

Oh no Skimper Has AF arrived after the spotting? Well done for booking the docs app. The initial tests are invasive, just a couple of blood tests for the female and at least it will ensure you know where you are at. I wish we had done ours even earlier, if I'd really thought about it I probably would have paid private to have them done if it was possible! I definitely think that's what alot of wealthy/famous people do.

We have been on a BD record this week! Every day for the last 5 days (all fertile time on Ovia and FF). FF predicted I would OV two days ago, and last day of fertile time is today on Ovia but I feel like I got the cramps I usually get at ovulation yesterday... so we will see what the temps say! in the next few days.

I'm on my 3rd day of spotting no signs of AF yet. But I usually have 2-3 days of spotting before she turns up. So we will see what happens tomorrow.
The doctors is half hour from work so not easy to get the time to go unless it's first thing/last thing, but I think the walk in centre does after hour appointments & early morning blood tests. I'm slightly nervous about having tests done, think it's just not knowing what might come from it.

PKK fingers crossed that all the BD will work! :j 5 days in a row is impressive - we get too tired when working :rotfl:

Skimper I am sorry for the spotting do you think it is definetly AF?

My period didn’t start properly the other day - It has just been very light pinky coloured discharge (sorry tmi!). I am still hopeful that it won’t progress but not sure - I am 10dpo today and cd48! Might test tomorrow but if nothing comes of it I am going to the doctors!

I hope everyone is ok! So pleased it is Friday tomorrow - TTC is taking over my life and I need a weekend where I don’t have to think about work as well!

skimper

Thats impressive PKK, we struggle to do it every other day haha.

AF arrived as expected today! Took a test this morning just to be sure & BFN. Glad I booked the appointment now.
