@Laurabub84 I'm so glad your tests are looking better today!

@wantingagirl I hope your spotting turns out to be nothing to worry about, I did have lots of spotting and bleeding in first trimester with my son. Was told it is very common! I hope that's the case for you too xx

@2nd time I do see it, not sure if its an Evap, I could be wrong but I thought if it's within the time limit it counts but if out of time limit not to trust it. Fx for you!

@Laurabub, sorry you've had such a rough day. Impossible not be a ball of worry when you've had one or more previous losses, eh. I am certain that all will turn out to be fine and you'll see a nice, strong heartbeat at your ultrasound. Do you already have an appointment?

@jellybeanxx - Forgot to ask you, how are you doing dear? How's the cycle going and where are you at right now?

Currently CD94 of this ridiculous cycle! I tried taking black cohosh to try and trigger AF. I took it twice a day for a week and have been feeling really anxious. Wondering if that caused it or if it’s just because my hormones are messed up.
I got some signs of my body trying to ovulate again. That’s happened a few times this cycle though without success so I’m not holding my breath!

Hello ladies

Can anyone see a squinter of a line? I think I do, but I might have driven myself nuts with POAS.

Fingers crossed for all of us! BFPs and healthy pregnancies all the way. xx

Question related to caffeine during TTC.

I don't drink coffee or pop, but love TEA! I usually have 1-2 black teas with milk (no sugar) and 1-2 green tea per day. The rest of the day I drink water. Is this too much? I didn't start drinking tea until after my daughter was born and I love it now!

Thoughts?

You are allowed up to 300 mg caffeine a day in pregnancy. I drank a cup of coffee a day with my 3rd and she is very healthy. Do you know how much caffeine is in all that?

Ok good to know. I don't think I have to worry then. Just looked it up: black tea has between 40-125 mg per 8 oz and green has 25 mg per 8 oz. Coffee has between 95-200 mg per 8 oz. I also don't drink tea too strong either.

Just wanting to make sure it wasn't decreasing our odds of TTC. CD26 today, AF due today or tomorrow. I have finally lengthened my cycle, it has been 24-25 days for a couple months now. So glad I'm not ovulating too early still. Still afraid to take a test and see another BFN again, will wait a couple more days if AF doesn't show.

 

[Bevziibubble]

You should be fine. Tea doesn't have too much caffeine

 

[Deethehippy]

Green tea is higher than regular tea.

Oh no, that sounds like absolute torture. I wish there was something that could be done about that... Hugs to you.

@Joannaxoxo 1-2 cups of black teas while TTC is totally fine! Even silghtly more than that would most likely cause no harm.

Hello ladies, how is everyone getting on?

It’s been a confusing few days for me.

all ‘symptoms’ petered out. It’s CD 32 and no AF, no BFP apart from the squinter of the other day.

I have a cycle that’s 29 days long on average. Not sure what’s happening here although my Femometer app predicts a 35-day long cycle for this month, which I find crazy. I certainly didn’t Ov on the day it said I did. I ovulated days before.

Had temp drop on two alternate days (Yesterday and two Days before it) but I’m a POAS addict so I’ll keep at it until BFP or AF.

Baby dust and sticky beans to everyone.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Sorry it's been a confusing few days @Kwipeh. I hope this is your month

Thank you!

So I’m currently 2dpo and ovulated on cd14. Our timing wasn’t the best this cycle as we’ve got so much going on.

Managed to bd in the wee hours of the morning of ovulation day (had terrible cramps and Ov pain in the evening so pretty sure that’s about when I ovulated). And managed to bd at around 2pm on 1dpo.

I think I may have ovulated from the right side (no tube) so feeling pretty out this cycle. Oh well

Congrats to all the bfps!! Love seeing all the lines ladies xx

 

[Bevziibubble]

Fx for you @Tesh23

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Also fingers crossed for you Tesh!

Temp dropped this am, so expecting AF today. So happy to actually have a 27 day cycle, so much better than 24-25 days. Just need to hope now that next cycle is the same.

Does anyone else have low CM when ovulating? I've been noticing I have lots of EWCM about 3 days before O, than just a little bit of watery CM on day of O. I'm planning to try some fertility lube this month (like PreSeed). Does this work well for some of you?
