Good morning ladies....how is everyone???

Friskyfish any news...sorry im getting a little excited for u...any symptoms do u still have

Ladies thanx for the info about before O its very interesting...do u have the link so i could read it pls.

Haha u guys make me giggle having prep talks with your and eggs...think i will have to try and i will be laughing to myself thinking u guys are doing the same lol.

Well think im gonna try jump the dh 2nite i did attemp last nite but he seemed so tierd and i dont want it to be turned into a chore...gonna use opks this afternoon not noticed much more cm even though ive been taking epo and cough medicine....
Gonna try and stick to smep as much as possible...but ive read that is not good to follow if oh has low sperm etc...but his last sa was in april so it may of got better now so who knows...so maybe its good thing we cant do it everyday so give chance for him to renew his x

Trolley Dolly - good luck with dh tonight!! I read the thing about O in a book, but there's a quick summary and a link to the original article on the book's website:
https://impatientwoman.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/the-day-of-ovulation-myth/
The book's quite a good read, actually - it's very light-hearted and funny, and it's very positive about your chances at our age (and even quite a bit later!). Yay!

I'm still getting negative OPKs, which is worrying me a bit, as last month they'd already been nearly positive for a couple of days at this point in my cycle. I guess maybe I'll just O a bit later than planned - meh Ah well, I won't let it get me down. The pep talks have officially started for this month, though ("Come on, little eggie, come on, etc.")

How's everyone else? Friskyfish, what news? And Tink how's the move going?

 

[friskyfish]

Hi lovelys....I'm down south in Poole staying on the navy base for the weekend!! Whit whoooo! Haha xx

Still no AF,yes trolley dolly,my boobies are still bigger,as is my tummy....I keep asking my man if I look any different,but he can't see it!! Haha let's wait till we get down & dirty ..bet he will notice then. Not having any more symptoms,lower back keeps acheing,insanely tired,but my boobs don't hurt,which they did in my first pregnancy?? So who knows??

Haha girls,think I may start the pep talk thing. I must say also,that I do look forward to reading this thread xx

Much love xx

 

[friskyfish]

Oh no,getting worried now xx im getting cramps,like period pains xx
xx

 

[Fruitful]

Aww, Friskyfish. Fingers crossed it isn't af. It's so hard not knowing, isn't it? It could be lots of things, though, so try not to worry too much and enjoy your time with your man. xx

I love our thread too. It makes my day just that little bit brighter!

 

[Tink80]

Hi, ladies
I am cracking up imagining all of us with the pep talks now, lmao...

Jumped OH on day 8 and day 10 (yesterday)...trying to start out with SMEP plan but i don't know how much we'll follow through because landlord is giving us the keys TODAY and just let us know he's planning to show this unit TOMORROW so I am properly freaking out that we need to tidy this place up and at least get our pets out of here tonight. Gonna be doing most of the heavy lifting Saturday through Monday so who knows how tired we will be to BD..the new place has stairs so we'll likely be sore, lol. I'm not giving up on this cycle yet, we'll do what we can, haha. Multi-tasking, eh?

I also love our thread. So nice to have you girls to talk with..I think I've driven my hubby nuts already and we're only in our 3rd cycle..poor guy

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Morning ladies

Fruitful thanx so much for the link gonna have a quick look...

Tink gl with the move exciting times...

Friskyfish how are u fx its not af...

Well we just found out yesterday our dog has been cleared of cancer...im so chuffed...hes still got to have a big op on his leg but at least the worry is over about the big C.Hes my baby

Well i used opk yesterday and it was but the secong line was there but faint so i think i mite Ov on sunday gonna test again this afternoon....managed to jump dh last nite so probs go again 2mo...not sure if again 2nite if good with low

Wellim off to do the got our guests 2nite x

 

[friskyfish]

Hey ladies,my AF arrived this morning just as I was about to test gutted Is an understatement xx feeling sad xx so in gonna go out tonight with my man and get pissed!! Haha xx will I ever get pregnant?? Xx hope your all ok xx

 

[Tink80]

Awww, Frisky. I'm sorry, hon. I know that feeling all too well

Moving is coming along well. The stairs at the new place are giving me quite the workout!! We have till the end of the month to finish but we're still trying to get as much done as possible these next few days. Even fit in another round of BD last night I haven't been obsessively doing my OPKs as much due to all the craziness but I did do one last night and the second line was darker than the control line however it was very thin....thin and SUPER dark...so i'm thinking the big O is going to be happening soon.
I'm probably overthinking this but I've been reassuring myself we still have a chance this month because even though I'll be doing lots of physical stuff around ovulation, things should be settled down around implantation time if the egg did get fertilized...so I guess there's still hope...crossing fingers!!

Oh! And tons of EWCM yesterday...more than I've ever had. I don't know if it's the FertileCM, grapefruit juice, or because I've been drinking a lot more fluids because of the physical activity..but I was quite amazed at it!!

Hope you ladies are well

 

[Tink80]

Update: I decided to take another OPK with SMU. I know you're not supposed to do that but I wanted to see after the questionable result last night...glaringly positive!! nice and thick line this time. so me and DH went ahead and did the deed again..which is good because tomorrow is probably gonna be way too crazy and tiring to fit that in, lol

 

[Fruitful]

Aww, Frisky, I'm sorry to hear that - lots of . I found this cheered me up when I last got AF and was really down:
https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...-new-cycle-affirmation-some-comic-relief.html
I hope you had a nice night out with your OH. I always enjoy having a drink when I get AF - it cheers me up no end!

Trolley Dolly and Tink - wow, sounds like it's been a busy weekend on the bedroom front (and just generally)! My OPK's were very nearly positive Sat and Sun (same as you Tink, dark but thin), and then I ran out of sticks - argh! I figure it'll be ok anyway, as I think we're covering our bases nicely BD-wise I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for all of us this month!

Trolley Dolly, I'm glad to hear about your dog. What a relief for you!

Tink, you must be shattered! Are you happy with your new place?

xx

 

[Fruitful]

Hi girls! How's everyone doing? I feel like I'm the only one on B&B these days... Maybe I should go get a life

I've made an appointment to go and see a doctor next week. I know six months is way too early to start getting worried (and fingers crossed for this month!!), but I figure it can't hurt to make contact and see whether she has any suggestions.

Otherwise, I'm just still meditating away and giving my body pep talks - lol.

Hope you're all well! xx

 

[friskyfish]

Hey fruitful iv been travelling home today ,6 hour drive,so I'm whacked x no,it can never hurt to see a doctor ,I may do the same x still upset,I'm now thinking my cycle is 35 days long,rather than 28..my last two periods have been every 35 days,so gonna go off that number before I start getting ahead of myself x
Since coming off the pill,my AF is really really heavy,I'm doubled up in pain x gonna work.out when I'm du to ovulate,and lock myself in my room with my OH and do handstands afterwards! Haha xx god,I hope we get some BFP's soon xx

Much love xx

 

[Tink80]

hey, girls. moving is coming along slowly but surely. so my OPKs have started to go negative but my temperature hasn't shifted yet...wonder if that means eggy is still alive? wonder if i can talk DH into another round of BD to be on the safe side....lol.

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Hello ladies how r u all?

Im still feeling like crap from the weekend way too muchfor me and way too muchfor dh and ended up so not much as very hungover ooops...we did manage to last nite though and opk test was positive we used conceive+ and i used a softcup for the 1st time...i have used an opk today and no smiley face but think we should go for it again just incase...so not feeling as hopeful now think we have messed it up this month

Friskyfish im sorry af arrived pls dont feel too down i know every month gets harder we need to stick together and keep positive for one another.

Fruitful i think defo go back to the doctors sometimes need to be more forceful to get anywhere on the nhs...we r going back the beginning of october and defo going to be more forceful.

Tink glad your move is going well...u r like me though things just got in our way this month but we stillmite have a chance....its so hard sticking to smep.

Well ladies one of us has got to get a this month fx for all of us x

 

[Fruitful]

Nice to hear from everyone! I'm feeling very optimistic about our chances this month, girls. And, if not this month, then it'll definitely be the next

Frisky, I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Sorry to hear your af is painful, that sucks - it can hurt to get it checked out.

It's amazing how much you learn about your cycle when TTC - I haven't been on the pill for years, so you think there wouldn't be much to learn, but I'm still constantly discovering stuff I'd never noticed before (like I get ovulation pains but no EWCM - had never noticed either of those facts before!).

Tink, what's your temperature doing? I don't know much about BBT, but keep us posted!

Trolley Dolly - that sounds like an awesome weekend, I'm so jealous! Yeah, I think BD schedules never quite work out as we wish - sounds like you did fine, though!

And the 2WW begins... Trying not to symptom spot this time round. Argh!! xx

 

[Tink80]

Hi, ladies!! Things are starting to settle down here..only little things to move and landlord gave us till this weekend to finish the transfer so I think we'll be a lot more chilled out now. All the heavy things are moved so that is the important part.

I told DH yesterday that my OPK was negative but still no temperature shift so we had a chance so we fit in some BD before our friend came over to help us move, LOL.

Today, I had a temperature rise so I guess it's official that I am in the TWW now. My temp was 97.1 and lower the last two weeks and today it jumped to 97.6 so that's a good indicator. My OPKs this cycle kinda went like this~

Sat night: Almost positive (VERY dark line but not very thick)
Sun AM: Two thick lines the same darkness
Sun PM: Almost positive (VERY dark but also thinner)
Mon and Tues: second line definitely visible but also definitely lighter than control line
(Temperature shift Wednesday morning)

Also, very creamy CM since yesterday. Fingers crossed!

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

wow tink sounds very promising hope that little bean sticks....i dont really understand how the temperature thing works...but wished i had tried it...glad your getting settled.

So how did everything go...did any of u stick to smep...use preseed or conceive+,softcups...

So now for the 2ww.....its gonna drag....wish i could say im not gonna symptom spot...but i already am....im still having twinges on left side...cant sleep on a nite and when i do been having really horrible nightmares...felt like i could of had a nap this afternoon and got a hot flush on when i was hoovering today...felt like af to be honest...but im thinking its probably all to do with the alcohol in my system...as i wouldnt of thought u would get these symptoms so early...

Anyways im looking forward to hearing your symptoms too if u have any that is.

Friskyfish i hope u get your heavy af and pains sorted...also my period is different lengths every month but i just go on 30 day cycle as this one is the one i get the most....im like u next round of the big O we r not leaving the house lol x
