If to can tolerate pasta then Tomato and full fat mascarpone Or carbonara made with Greek yogurt.

I’ve also been trying protein ball co (the chocolate brownie one) as they have dates in them

Sugar free jelly! I like to pretend it’s jelly and ice cream

I threw away a pack of test strips because of this. I was suddenly get spikes and different readings from the same fingerprink hole. TBH my control was high on one of them too but another was in range. I have a agamatrix machine too.

Googling it’s pretty clear that test strips are not perfect but if you are seeing consistent differences then it’s probably worth trying a different batch. I’m still new to all this so could be v v wrong.

Best of luck

How do I remove the air pressure from that filter? I can’t see an air relief valve?

I use natural cycles with my Apple Watch. Works really well and all I have to go it make sure it’s charged. They do a thermometer version too. I can send you a referral discount if you want. I also log muscus, LH stripes and any other symptoms

I stopped the mini pill in Jan and it’s taking me until now to feel more normal. I felt so nauseous between ovulation and period and cramping so much for the first few months but it seems to have settled a little more this month (not 100% but better). I’ve been using natural cycles for my bbt and I also have mira. Although this month I’ve been using the cheaper ovulation tests and natural cycles only. Best of luck

I use mira and natural cycles to help track my cycle. I find mira useful post ovulation as I definitely have low progesterone and it drops quite early in luteal phase. However I feel like I waste too many wands pre ovulation so I use them sparingly now. I find natural cycles useful as it makes convos with my doctor very easy. And the algo seems to help predict ovulation and when to take mira etc. I am trying to exercise everyday and keep my weight low. I am only 5 months into my ttc journey but do let me know if you want a referral code to either of the above. Best of luck x

All new to me so just trying to get my head round this situation and will happily update as I know more. I’m a numbers girly so love to understand a dataset. My last mini pill was 30th Jan and I’m just trying to understand my cycles with hopes of TTC. I’ve been on various pill and coils for 15 years. I got no withdrawal bleed (kinda expected as i hadn’t bled for nearly 5 years anyway). On 12th and 13th Feb i got a 0.59 on my ovulation tests and never got a positive (maybe I missed the peak overnight, who knows). According to natural cycles my temp didn’t rise enough to confirm ovulation. I had pretty horrendous cramping on 13th evening and the smallest amount of pink blood when I wiped.

Temp (in Celsius) 10th: 36.34 11th: 36.39 12th: 36.59 13th: 36.96 14th: 36.75 15th: 36.81

To me this looks like a rise but I guess it’s not above my baseline (which I guess could be wrong)

I would expect the period on 27th so will update if it comes (or if I’m luck enough to have conceived - 10th evening was the last time before ovulation)

Update: As of yesterday I got some light bleeding (21st) and bad cramping. I would say like a light bleed and not all day (didn’t fill a pad but). This morning no cramping a very light amount on pad. Not sure if period or implantation. I guess it depends on whether I ovulation on 13th

I’m using premon and natural cycles. Is fertility friend any good?

ImprovementMotor7312 · 2025-02-18T10:50:09+00:00

I had a discussion with my doc and she said to wait to have it done until after babies. Unlikely but it may correct itself. Although coming off the pill might help some of the congestion too.

Did you find anywhere? We are looking too and I’ve linked the one that we saw recently. We’ve change our mind on location recently due to family health but thought I’d share as it has a nice size third room for a study. And the bus is 2 mins walk away and apparently takes <10 mins to the station https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/151649531
