February testers

Hi, I thought I would kickstart the new month’s topic. I am now on cd 3. This month I am hoping to try agnus castus and b6, aside from Pregnacare and 5mg folic acid. Anybody else joining me/ And has anybody else been given any tips on helping the ovary by the remaining tube to ovulate better/ Thanks, Victoria x

Hi,

I’d be really interested in this!

I’ve tried evening primrose and star flower

CB digital ovulation kits

Vitamins for preparing for pregnancy

Bush flower remedy.

Nothing has worked so far :frowning:

Xxx

v odd. had a positive this morning…day 8…going to stop agnus castus for this morning and dtd xx

Hi Feb friends!

I’m 3 months since MTX for ectopic and now TTC. Getting my hopes up because I don’t know how else to deal with my crippling worry that it will either happen again or no pregnancy will ever happen at all.

I am fairly certain I O as I have been BBT temping and can pinpoint the required rises and falls. So relieved to have some success with BBT as the internet cheapy OPKs I have tried thus far have never gotten me a true positive. I have purchases the clear blue digital so hopefully they do the trick.

By way of vitamins I am taking folic acid and primrose. As well 100mg of B6 and an additional B complex which includes additional B6 as my luteal lengths appear to be under the required threshold of 11, mine are more like 10 so hoping to extend that this month.

I am on CD2 and to my surprise I have minimal period cramping this month. I usually get moderate pain, not debilitating but certainly present. One would think that I would just enjoy this, but alas here I am concerned that its a bad sign.

Baby dust and love all round xx

good luck Smartiepants xx

I just feel am never going to get pregnant again. Losing hope

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling down GabrielGenesis :frowning: I think we all feel that way sometimes. Staying positive is so hard. Huge hugs to you xxxx

Thanks Smartiepants

Morning ladies. Just wanted to wish you all luck this month. Sending loads of pma. Xxx

Hi everyone,

Hopefully this will be our month!!!

I am at that terrible two week wait now… Anyone else??

Quick question regarding egg white cervical mucus…

I got a small bit of ewcm last week leading up to suspected ovulation… then got a positive opk on Friday and Saturday. We bd’ed Thursday Friday and Saturday.

Definitely felt I ovulated Friday as I got pains on my good side! Sunday and Monday I was too busy with work and then too tired to do any bd’ing BUT on Monday and Today I got ewcm again!!! Did the opk Monday and today but got negatives. How can it be that I get the egg white stuff after ovulating??? I also have some sharpe stabbing pains now on my bad side :frowning: anyone else experience this??

S

I’m also in the 2WW. Fingers crossed!

I have heard that you can get a little bit of ewcm after O as well as before, cant be entirely sure but I remember checking with Dr Google cos I had a similar experience. Either way you got some nice BD in! Good luck!

I often get stabby twinges in my bad side. I had MTX 3 months ago. I always put it down to awareness of the area.

AFM I have been stupidly messing with my cycles by taking b6 and b complex for a self diagnosed LPD and evening primrose oil for increasing CM. Its CD 22 now and my temps are all over the place, indicating I didn’t O at all. I know I do O cos last month I had a great rise and a 10 day luteal phase (borderline of too short) and now I have just been crampy for 2 weeks. Definitely will stop taking everything unless medically advised. I am actually furious with myself :evil: :? :x

The whole process drives us crazy!!

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You just really want this to work, like everyone on here, and are doing the best you can to heighten the chances which is good! I’m so not a patient person either so the waiting and not knowing drives me nuts. Im on 6dpo so roll on the next week you??? xxx

Oh you jus said in your post… I get confused with all the days… :shock: actually the whole pregnancy process just confuses the heck out of me

Hi ladies,

I’m also TTC. Every day I worry about every cramp, pain and bit of bleeding I get. Getting a HyCoSy done on CD10 and natural killer cells test done on CD25. I need to try and focus on other stuff but so hard to do!

Ok so in my last post I said i got a smiley on Friday and Saturday… I have two types of tests the advanced dual clear blue and also the regular clear blue… Tested with both and got the perm 48 smiley on one and the regular smiley on the other. Then I got negatives on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but got the ewcm. Then today I got more ewcm and had pains again in my lower region so when I got home from work I tested again and got the perm smiley again! Do you think this means I didn’t ovulate with the first smiley on Friday 5th/6th? And now 6 days later I get a new surge? It’s all very confusing. We just bd’ed this evening to be on the safe side but maybe I missed my window and I actually ovulated on Monday or Tuesday… :roll:

Hi all. I’ve been wondering whether to post on here so I hope you don’t mind me swooping straight in with a positive pregnancy test this morning. I am slightly terrified after 1 mmc and 2 ep but trying to stay positive. Have booked in for a scan and bloods over the next couple of weeks. I’m finding it hard to believe that it will end with a baby… and finding it very hard to concentrate on work today!

I don’t know whether it is a coincidence but I had a hycosy last month which I was told can open the tubes. Also I put the husband on zinc supplements this month.

Wishing you all luck this month xx

Hi ladies

Suesad I am in a similar boat to you with multiple OPK positives and bouts of ewcm and a whole lot of confusion. I wish I could help but I literally have no idea why my body appears to have geared up to O and then not O’d, and tried again a week late. So weird. I have read that this can happen I just don’t understand why. I am hating this whole process right now.

I am on CD28 and I think 2dpo as O was VERY late for me this cycle (as I suspect I had a failed O CD14). My bbs feel tender and I feel slightly nauseated constantly but mostly I am just depressed. I have never had an irregular cycle and I don’t know what to do with it. I am just so constantly worried that this will never ever happen for me. If AF comes tomorrow (I have a very regular 28 day cycle) then at least I know I can try again soon. If not then I am going to be stressing til she does.

Whispered congrats to you KEW. I hope all the testing went well and you can graduate to the pregnant chit chat forum :slight_smile: FX!!

Hi Smartiepants,

I so feel your despair. This is such a nerve-wracking time. I go through highs/lows as well.

How can you get your period only 2 days after ovulation though? That seems so soon and i didn’t think that was possible? Maybe you are pregnant as you feel sick etc. did you do a pregnancy test? what other symptoms do you have? How many months have you been trying since op?

I am really not sure if i o’ed on the 5th feb now or later on 9/10th Feb. If it was the 5th, right now i am at 10 dpo and i have absolutely no pregnancy symptoms. i felt a bit dizzy/sick yesterday but not sure if its me being overly sensitive - i also have a little bit of milky white discharge - this could be lead up to period. I am due ( if the cycle is 28 days - not sure) my period on 20th/21st of Feb so this weekend so we will see what happens. I am obsessed with doing tests so did a pregnancy test and it came back negative obviously. I think that this is not my month…

I got pregnant September 2015 - It was our first time/month trying to get pregnant and it was a half attempt as i didn’t know when i was ovulating etc. ( didn’t even know what an opk was back then now I’m an expert) but it worked straight away! However, I had a horrible time as first i got irregular bleeding and the midwife/doctor said it was normal so i believed her and waited for the 9 week scan. Then at 7 weeks i i started bleeding heavily. Went to midwife and she did a scan and said i miscarried and it must have been a very early pregnancy as she couldn’t see anything in my uterus. BIG MISTAKE!! Afterwards i had pain but not too bad, so i assumed it was the aftermath of the miscarriage. But… two weeks later i got very bad pains, going unconscious, looked like a ghost, pains in shoulder and actually all over my upper body and started bleeding again. So went to the doctor who immediately sent me to the hospital and then that day ( dec 2nd) i was told i was still pregnant, i was bleeding out and i needed surgery immediately for my right tube to be removed. Was such a shock and very scary. However, I am still hoping that I will get pregnant within the next 4-5 months. I just turned 33 so no spring chicken so if i don’t get pregnant naturally I will go back to my gynaecologist and look at IVF possibilities. Trying to stay positive but also have lows. I have heard many positive stories from girls i know who have had this and also girls on these forums… and that stats are in our favour. We just need to stay positive and be patient ( latter is very very hard to do though!).

Please let me know whether you get your period today or if you get a BFP. If not there is always next month!

Talk soon!

Simone

Don’t give up hope simone. I’m 34 and after 9 pregnancy ( only one thb) I am sat being kicked around at 29 weeks. Xxx

Hi Simone!

Ah I don’t know. I was so bummed out about the failed O and then worried that the second O wouldn’t get any of the luteal phase love it deserves. I am on CD28 now and no sign of AF so I think I was just being super negative. I did a HPT a few days ago as I was feeling weird, it was negative so I did an OPK and that’s when I realized I might be about to O again. Sure enough, temps are rising slowly. Too early to know as I am only 4dpo now. Trying to keep busy.

I had MTX for my ectopic. Had the dose in October so this is our first month trying post-ectopic. I know what you mean about oversensitivity to nausea! I swear its in my head most of the time. But with my ectopic pregnancy I remember feeling only slightly nauseous as well. Or do I?? I don’t even know anymore!!

I am so sorry to hear of your heart breaking story. What a horrible experience.

You got pregnant the first time you tried and not even actively trying, that’s an awesome sign! I truly believe that it will happen to both of us. 33 is still a spring chicken! I was in no way an expert on charting and opks when I first started TTC (April 2015) but I am enjoying finding out about my body.

I hope the rest of the week goes super quick for you and you get a beautiful BFP over the weekend! When are you planning to test?
