3 DPO 24/01/11, anyone with me?!

[struth]

Glad you had a good time Rachael1981! I love Edinburgh.

Soy - yes I would be careful. Also - if you lengthen your LP it doesn't necessarily mean that your cycle will stay the same length so if doesn't necessarily mean that your O wilol move forward. You could just end up with a longer cycle all round. I'm no expert though - I'd recommend you do quite a bit of research before taking anything.

And as for me - yup - my third 2WW this cycle! It's my own fault I guess - although the OPKs were definitely positive on the second one (I went only on CM for the first one - big mistake!). Still it means that I am already 6dpo and only have a few days left until testing again! Rather than feeling like a really long cycle, it feels like a really short one as I went from 14dpo to 4dpo!!!

How are you feeling Rachael1981?

 

[Rachael1981]

I'm ok, bit tired after all the driving I've done this weekend. I want to go back to Edinburgh, I loved it! Also missing OH too, usually on Sunday nights I'm really down because he's gone home, but this week today is my down day as I stayed there until this morning because I had the car.

How are you doing? Your temps look a lot better now, more like you are in the 2ww this time

 

[struth]

Yeah - I guess you feel like you are back down to earth with a bump! Do you only see your OH at weekends then? Does he work away or not live near you?

I'm feeling okay today - a lot more settled. Had a horrible saturday though when I realised that I was not 14dpo but 4dpo! I had a bit of a weep on the OH's shoulder - he was lovely actually (he is not the most empathic and so sometimes can be a bit dismissive when I get upset) - and I then figured it was not the end of the world as it looks like I have O'd this time and it would have been worse if I just kept getting negative tests and no O! I was really emotional over the weekend so I'm guessing my body is getting used to having no BC pill!!!

My temps are looking better aren't they. I was a bit concerned because a couple of the higher ones were taken when I was ill but I'm better now and they seem to have stayed high. I even tried discarding the higher ones and it still had my O in the same place so I'm feeling more confident now.

Whether we covered it sufficiently or not is another matter!!!

 

[Rachael1981]

I've definitely come back down with a bump! Picked the dog up though and she's missed me, and the cats have missed me too

TTC is a rollercoaster isn't it? I'm only temping this cycle and we'll see how that goes, no OPK's this month lol

 

[cherryness]

LOL racheal i live just across the forth bridge so weird how you were so close to me ! i hope you caught the babydust i sent flying in the air for you!!!!

 

[Rachael1981]

I hope so! We drove up to South Queensferry yesterday morning to see the bridges, so hopefully I've caught some of that babydust you sent me! xxx

 

[struth]

Ahhh - so the animals were pleased you were home!

I am umming and arhhing about whether to use OPKs or not next cycle (assuming there will be a next cycle). They really mislead me this month so I have lost a but of trust in them. However, if I only temp we could miss the eggy - with my cycles I have no idea when it is coming! Hmmmm....

 

[Rachael1981]

I figured as we can only BD at the weekends until we move in together, I may as well just drop the OPK's because knowing when I'm about to ovulate isn't going to make any difference to BD'ing. We'll see how it goes, I might start them again after we've moved, but we'll see.

Yeh, the animals were all pleased I'm home, shame I'm not all that pleased to be home

 

[struth]

Do you think you will be able to move in together soon?

 

[Rachael1981]

My tenancy here ends on 22nd April so I'm hoping to move to Sunderland then and he'll move in with me. I can't wait, I'm sick of only seeing him at the weekends

 

[struth]

Oooo - that is not far away. It will be April before you know it and we will have little baby bumps!!!

 

[Rachael1981]

I sure hope so! April really isn't far away at all now. I should possibly start house hunting

 

[mrsine]

Since i'm trying to understand my cycle and the general trend, i'm going to OPK this month to confirm my ovulation day and to get some sort of pattern. Quite a few days to go though.

Glad you had fun Racheal and looking good Struth!

 

[Rachael1981]

Thanks mrsine. Hope the OPK's go well for you!

 

[struth]

Thanks mrsine - I'm trying not to get any hopes up this week!

Although I do definitely have cramps this morning (and not like the imagined ones that are probably just gas!). Have also has a temp dip. Ohhhh - I was trying to not symptoms spot!

 

[struth]

Hey Rachael1981 - I'm proud of myself. Am 8dpo and haven't even thought about POAS !!!!!

 

[Rachael1981]

That's impressive
