Congratulations Annio!!!!

To make matters worse, daisies, I had grace in the cubicle with me and she was like, mummy what's that? mummy why are you weeing on that? and there were other people in there as well! I just shoved it in my bag, went outside and then tried to take a picture of it for DH without letting all the normal people see what a mad woman I am!

 

[ladders]

Ah amazing congratulations annio! What a strong line for 11dpo! So pleased for you. Kim and jessy it's you girls next!!!!

 

[Daisies11]

I did wonder that. As my little boys only 2 he probably wouldn't be understood by anyone else outside, but he would certainly be asking what I was doing! Aren't kids great at giving away anything you want to keep quiet!

 

[citrusfruit]

Anni and daisies, so glad you are sticking around! Keep us posted on how you are feeling as things progress! We need to be reminded what we are in for so share away and please don't think anything of this being a ttc thread, I hope everyone else would agree too that once a group is established it's nice to hear updates about your pregnancy even when we have bfns.

CD2 here. CD3 is still rubbish for me but Friday should be better. CD2 and CD3 are so painful. Oh and I did go to the docs and get that checked (which was fun!) but nothing to worry about just a very minor prolapse from DS1 which I knew about anyways and that is probably causing the symptoms. Been told to step up the kegels. I am rubbbbbish at doing them. Anyone else?!

 

[annio84]

I just read the word kegels and automatically did it!

Thanks Ladders. I thought it was a pretty strong line. I actually don't think I've ever had one that dark before to the point DH is convinced I'm much further along. I have a digi to do tomorrow. Where are you in your cycle? Hope you're ok.

Citrus, I feel pretty normal actually, just a bit bloated and I've got cramping low down but that's pretty well par for the course. I'll probably start to feel sick next week and then it'll really ramp up at 6 weeks.

 

[Daisies11]

Citrus I should do the kegels. Every so often something makes me think about it and I do it, but ordinarily I don't.

I'm feeling ok really. My boobs have been slightly more tender than usual and I felt a tiny bit nauseous this morning but nothing major. The only thing that I have had that's not eased off completely is the strange metallic type taste in my mouth. I think I mentioned it on here a week or so ago, and it has eased off a little but I'm still noticing it a couple of times through the day.

I was really lucky with ds and had minimal nausea and never really had any horrible symptoms so I'm hoping for more of the same this time. I'm bracing myself for this to be sickness galore though just to even things out for me!

Congratulations, Anni. I'm sure you aren't the only person to poas semi publicly lol

I completely agree with Citrus on this. I feel like all you ladies in our group are my friends and I would love to know what's going on with everyone throughout your pregnancies. This goes for everyone when we all get our bfp's! I'm happy to see you ladies, Anni and Daisies, are sticking around with us to root the rest of us on ❤❤

 

[ladders]

Yes definitely stay with us both! We have a lovely group and be great to stay together through this! Hopefully more of us will be joining you soon!

Annio I'm CD 9 now and started again on the opks. If bought cheapies as well as my clearblue digitals in an attempt to keep cosy down this month if again I o later than expected but spent a s**t load on vitamins and stuff so already failed at that lol

Cupcake I think it was you that asked about the mucinex? It's used to relive mucus on the chest so it thins stuff. When we had tests last time dh sperm test showed was highly viscous so the swimmers struggled to swim! Got him to take that around o. First month bfp that resulted in mc and second month bfp with my dd. After previously trying for 10 cycles and no luck I'm convinced this is what did it! Read about woman taking if for their cm too so reckon when it comes we will both do it. Any news about af yet?

Citrus sorry your having a crap time with af roll on CD 4 eh

 

[happycupcake]

Agree with the others, I hope we all stay in this thread together, it's been lovely.

Ladders, yes it was me. Ah I see, it's a certain active ingredient beginning with G in it I'm assuming, because I have read about women taking it (in certain types of cough medicine) to help their cm, but haven't heard of men taking it for sperm before. Come to think of it, the name rings a bell, does it come in a green box?

I reckon today will be CD1 for me, my temp dipped right below the cover line today in line with the temps I would expect to see from CD1 to ov. Cramps, windy, trapped wind... all of which I see on CD1 and I know this may sound weird, but downstairs always feels different on CD1 which does today so if af doesn't arrive I will be confused! Should have arrived Tuesday, my lp rarely changes so I'm assuming those tests were genuine and this is a chemical. I had kind of hoped in a way they were convincing evaps but these things happen for a reason

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Happycupcake, I already said on your test thread but, I'm so bummed for you. I was really hoping you would wake up with higher than normal temps and get a blazing positive. I'm so sorry this happened to you again. I hope the acupuncture will level out your hormones and this doesn't happen again. Hopefully this new cycle will bring you your bfp.

Ladders, that's interesting about the mucinex. I have heard of women taking it for cm but never heard of men taking it for sperm! If no bfp this time for me, I'll be sure to run to the store and get some on the next cycle. How long should he take it? Like cd1 for me to O or just the fw?

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, I think when taking any cough medicine or anything with the active ingredient guifesomethingorother (I hate that I can't remember the name) you take it during your fw but I wouldn't know about men and how long or when they should take it but I would have thought around the same times. Logically this makes sense to me anyway.

Thank you af has arrived. Relieved. Heavier than usual, more painful when I move around than usual, so I will be sitting on my backside being lazy today

 

[ladders]

Sorry af has arrived cupcake although at least like you said at least you can move on now. Does sound like a chemical as af heavier and I can't believe those Superdrug ones would be evaps they were too dark.

Kim last time I got dh to take the mucinex just on important days so tried the day before positive and the day of and then 2 days following. Last time I only got dh to take it but think I'll do the same this time. Took me bloody ages to find somewhere to ship over here so I'm quite excited to get my hands on it.
Make sure you only get the standard one and not the dm one (green box) as that has something else in that dries mucus up so definitely not wanted lol

 

[ladders]

This is the one you want

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh cupcake I'm sorry about AF but glad you know where you are. Is it a myth you are more fertile after a chemical? A reason to try extra hard this month, I guess. Defo take a few days to wallow and feel sorry for yourself though, I would!

Hi to everyone else. CD3. Yawnnn.

 

[bassit25]

Wow huge congrats to u both what amazing news u must both be estatic here is to a happy and health 9 months

Ladders your gonna have to educate me on opks before I start investing I can't believe the price of them


Cupcake glad af showed up it's not great but at least you know where u are

Ladies how are you sorry not to personal but wow you ladies are hard to keep up with ��

As for me I feel af is looming which is great as first month off of the implant after 5 years so hopefully I will return to cycles quickly which will give me a better chance of tracking and having a better understanding of things

Again big congrats to the girls here's to us and feb18 bundles x x

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I'm cd28 today and have no idea what is going on with my body! I didn't have much ewcm so far this cycle. I did have some mixed with creamy but wasn't sure if it was actually ew-ish if that makes sense? My boob's got slightly sore and nipples slightly sore but backwards this time. Anyway boob and nipple soreness is gone. I'm having loads of ewcm. My cervix went from high soft open to high soft closed. Now it's high soft and open again! Am I just now ovulating?! Did I not O the other day like I thought I did? Ugh I know you ladies don't have the answers, I'm really just venting lol I ordered more opk's but I'm sure that if I am O'ing now or will be soon, my surge will be over by the time the new opk's get here. Oh well. I guess this cycle is a bust.

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, I see ew ish cm later in my lp. I saw a lot more of it this cycle just gone. I mean absolutely loads of it. It could be due a number of things; extra hydration, hormones changing, it could indicate the start of a pregnancy too so don't count yourself out!
With cervix position, mine changes all the time, it's actually quite annoying! It means to me I can't count it as any kind of sign, although I do put it down on my chart anyway to keep track. It doesn't mean you didn't ov. I Googled about it a while ago and came across a post which was rather detailed in description, including photos of a cervix throughout the whole cycle and it altered more than I thought it would. And, it also altered at different times than I thought it would too, I think this is possibly the hardest thing to pinpoint as a sign of pregnancy, and at times ovulation. These photos showed it at its most open the day befor ov with ewcm which was also slightly creamy in colour as well, and the day of ov it was starting to close and cm was starting to dry out. Everyone is different and we have to remember that as well as the fact some may be taking certain things which could alter everything too, so I don't think this means you didn't ov, I think they are simply changes you have seen more obvious this cycle than before

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Hmm that's interesting, Happycupcake. I have noticed that I have been soooo thirsty for the past few days so maybe with all the extra water and tea (not herbal tea 😑&#128521I have been drinking is just causing more cm? I swear, yesterday the cm was white and creamy and loads of it. Then by lunch time till now it's back to ew. Maybe I did already O? I guess we will find out in about 13 days if af arrives lol last cycle was a 16 day lp. So if I am in fact 3dpo then I should expect af in 13-15 days. I'm hoping this weird cycle ends in a bfp 😊
