anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[KittyCat82]

Sorry I just realised how long my last post was lol! Well my cystitis has got worse I'm supposed to be en route to work now but sitting with hot water bottle-got to go in as in court this afternoon! Ticktock I'm prone to cystitis anyway, but it basically feels very sore, tummy ache and feels like need to pee all the time and when you do it burns!! Not nice..don't think we will be able to dtd tonight so I suppose that's it now for this cycle-do you think that'll be ok?! Grr...anyway hope you get your peak soon ticktock must be bit annoying to get no notice! Why is that? Hope you doing ok too dan-o x

 

[dan-o]

Ticktock, my CBFM used to do the same thing sometimes, especially if my FMU wasn't very concentrated, which it often isnt. I thought it was pointless spending so much on the sticks when OPK's do the same thing, so I stuck in on ebay lol

Kitty I can sympathise with the cystitis, I get it sometimes too, it's not nice! Make sure you drink plenty, wont you. I drink a couple of pints of cranberry juice diluted 50:50 with water, over the space of an hour or two and that usually flushes it out

 

[dan-o]

As for me, I'm feeling fine, the bleeding is stopping and I havent passed a clot since last night. Hoping my latest hCG beta is negative, I should get the results later. My HPT's are definitely negative, as are my OPK's, so it must be super low now

I'm feeling very impatient today, I want to start BD again, lol!!

 

[ticktock]

yey am glad your beta is back to negative now dan-o so you can start afresh!

Kittycat, I've gone from low to peak once before so maybe it'll happen again, still low today but I'm not listening to it lol

 

[DaretoDream]

Dan-o your positive attitude is fantastic

 

[dan-o]

Ticktock, have you got your highs or peak yet?
I was reading about a lady who ovulated (confirmed by CD21 bloods) despite only getting lows on the CBFM!

Are you coming up to ov too, daretodream?

I've got no fertile signs yet, but then I didn't get any until CD10 last cycle.
Hoping I don't ov too early as I need time to build up my womb lining again!

OH has decided we are going to go for gold this cycle, lol, bless him. Lucky me!

 

[ticktock]

going for gold, thats a good attitude!!

I'm on my second high today but yesterdays stick looked like a positive opk to me plus had ewcm yesterday and day before and today still and bit of tummy ache/ov pains yesterday eve but might have beeen my ibs lol

My stick didn't fill up with dye properly today, dunno what happened but it still read as high but I'm not convinced lol am gonna use a cheapy opk later to see what that says

have got slightly sore boobs so think I'm around ov time somewhere so gonna make sure bd anyway!

I don't always trust the cbfm cos I'm sure i've ov'd before its even given me my peak before, I just kinda use it to confirm. Only bd'd yesterday and today cos the other time couple of days ago didn't quite go according to plan and not sure if any got up there

So shall see what happens in next couple of days I spose!

Hoe you do ov abit later in your cycle dan-o, can you normally tell when its coming up?

 

[dan-o]

Good luck ticktock! It certainly does sound like you are fertile.. hope you catch your eggy this month!

Yeah I get a few days warning usually, the EWCM sets in & the OPK's are usually dark the day before the first positive. I tend to ov a day or two after my positive OPK.

I don't know why I bother testing at all though. We usually BD most days when I'm fertile anway, just because we are both 'in the mood! lol

 

[DaretoDream]

dan- my normal cycles are 32- and the last one was 50. So my chart is showing normal of 50 days for me. I'm really going to pay attention to signs. But really- if im normal this cycle, i should be due to start o in about a week. Hoping i'm normal. If i don't get it this month, i'll probably start looking into opk. But i didn't want to get all into these things yet if i don't have to.

 

[KittyCat82]

Hello girlies-hope you are all doing well. Dan-o I agree you have a great attitude to all of this. daretodream, I hope your cycles start regulating for you so you know where you are a bit more with them!

I dont know why but I am really feeling down at the mo about it all...feel like I am gonna burst into tears any mosorry-I dont mean to bring a downer on anyone or fish for sympathy..and I know compared to some people I don't have anything to be down about...I think it hasnt helped that a friend gave birth on Sat to her first and she announced her pg about when we started ttc and I hoped I wouldnt be that far behind her..and another friend has announced she is again pg today with her second and her first isnt one yet.

I feel fine most of the time but this weekend seemed to have an overwhelming sense of panic about it all..and just feel really down today. I dont know how we will get on this month as the cystitis has gone on-still feeling a little sore, so in total we bd 4 out of 7 highs, high before peak and first peak but that is it. ticktock-do you know if that might be enough with cbfm? Last night whilst eating tea I had what felt like period pains for about 10 min and had to stop eating. Since then I have a dull ache in my right side-I am worrying now it may be cysts or something..no sore boobs again yet so I guess I dont always get them straight after ov'ing! I have also had a bit of dodgy tummy (tmi!) so that could account for pain but it seems in a strange place..
Anyway sorry to have a moan, I am probably just having Monday blues! x

 

[dan-o]

It could be implantation! I got a dull ache before getting a BFP, both times

 

[KittyCat82]

Thanks dan-o, it did cross my mind but I think I would only be about 3-4dpo according to cbfm so isnt that a little too early? I forgot to say that I also had shooting pains for a few seconds in my right boob and then in my left armpit which was v odd! I am NOT going to bore you with every symptom every day as I know some months I have had so many I could swear I was pg lol! Tbh, I had real diffculty getting a pill to suit me many years ago, as they all made me feel sick-dr said I am v sensitive to estrogen and that when I eventually do get pg, I may suffer badly from sickness so I always think that will be the give away! We'll see anyway x

 

[DaretoDream]

kitty i'm sorry you're feeling so down. Don't! It'll happen for us.

I started having really weird feelings like that too though. Like maybe- i'm not supposed to be a mom? I wish i could talk to my mom about all of it but she's so bent on NEVER being a grandma... i have no one to talk to. Maybe i could talk to my hubby's mom- i think she would like that. And make her keep it in confidence. I just don't have a mom to share it with because she doesn't like kids- so i'm scared of telling her we're even trying.

The last time i told her i was thinking about it- she said something along the lines of don't do it because it'll be a huge mistake.

And i'd be a terrible mom.


Thanks mom. She so doesn't want me to have children that she'll insult me as a mom before i even have a chance.

This also is the same woman who told me she hated my hair color from the time i was a child and pointed to my brother and tried to make me jealous because he has golden curling locks and i have wavy dark brown hair.

It's so bad i'm having nightmares about telling her.

 

[KittyCat82]

Dareto, I am so sorry to read your post..that is such a shame. Tbh, every month that passes makes me more desperate to tell my mum as I know she and both sets of parents would be so happy...its a funny game sometimes isnt it??!!

At least you know that when you do fall pg (which, you're right we all will) there will be people who will be on for you and you will be a great mum yourself, I'm sure x

 

[DaretoDream]

Yeah i really hope that when i give her the news- she doesn't give me the 'you know you could terminate it right?' just like on my WEDDING DAY she told me i could 'still back out because you're not even going to last 6 months.'

Almost three years later.

 

[ticktock]

sorry your mum isn't v supportive daretodream must be difficult

I'm bit cross with my cbfm still on high today but had positive opk day before yesterday and a negative one yesterday plus got sore boobies so I'm sure ov has been and gone but cbfm has missed it!

but got some bd'ing in so hopefully we didn't miss it lol so spose am in the 2ww but not too sure what day hehe

kittycat, will be hoping to hear of some sickiness then if its a good sign for ya lol

 

[dan-o]

I was also very sorry to read your post daretodream, how awful for you hun

 

[dan-o]

Ticktock, that CBFM is a nightmare for you this cycle!! lol Thanks goodness for OPK's!

 

[dan-o]

Ohh forgot to say, my fertile signs have kicked in now, so I look set to be in the 2ww by friday-ish, if all goes well

 

[ticktock]

yey you'll not be far behind me dan-o! my ewcm has def gone so does that mean I've ov'd? Without being gross I get quite alot of ewcm so its easy to spot when it is and isn't there lol

hope I get my bfp soon, this ttc lark does my head in

I work in a baby room in a nursery which does not help at all with broodiness!

Do you have other family members daretodream that will be happy for you?
