anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[dan-o]

I don't temp so going by my peaks on the cbfm its 12 days then 2 days of spotting so 14 day but spotting is basically my af coming so more like 12 lol bit of a pain really!

Have registered with new GP today in the hopes of having a decent doc just in case!

12 days isn't bad at all hun!

Just give it a few months, bet you get your BFP!

haha all systems go!

Thats awful about your molar pregnancy, never heard of them before. Sounds like quite an ordeal, glad you got through it in one piece and can now start ttc again.

yeh 12 days is ok, I do worry slightly I have endo as have alot of the symptoms but also as periods are getting better and better since coming of the pill and I have quite bad IBS since I was a child I'm hoping its not!

Never really cared til started all this ttc business lol

Dan-o, good luck with your peak days and so sorry to hear about your molar pregnancy. I too had never heard of it, but I can tell it was traumatic. Here's hoping you get your BFP soon.
Tick-tock, one of the main signs of endo is increasingly heavy periods, something I have to watch for since I have it and am now off the pill, which normally controls it. But since your periods are getting better, it should be okay.

 

[ticktock]

thanks Mouse-chicky, I had such horrible periods as a teen, that when I came off pill was expecting them to be horrific but they not too bad. Not as good as some but better than I ever thought they'd be!

I mainly worry as I get pre-af spotting, lower back pain and I have IBS too but hopefully its that causing the pain. Plus have a dodgey back anyway lol

Do you use opks mouse?

 

[mouse_chicky]

I used the regular CBOPT last time, but I tested too early, so all I got were sad little circles. No smileys. I'm thinking if nothing happens this time, I might borrow my sister's CBFM. She kept it for me after she had her two in 06. Obviously, I'll have to get sticks but the monitor should still be okay, right?

Also, does anyone know if it's okay to take bacid (aka acidopholis) while ttc? My gyno told me to take it due to screwy flora down there a while back, but I forgot to ask her about it at my visit. I'm not taking it just in case, but it did keep me from having infections.

 

[dan-o]

Positive OPK for me again this morning which is unsual!
I normally only get one peak day, hope its a good sign!

 

[dan-o]

I used a CBFM for a few cycles, but had use OPK's along side as I didn't trust the CBFM alone!
I don't think my FMU is concentrated enough to get accurate readings on the CBFM, as I often get up to pee in the night. One month I went from low straight to peak, lol.

If you get your sisters, mouse_chicky, it's very easy to reset, you just need to use one stick to do it

Isn't that the same thing as whats in live yoghurt?
If so then I'm sure it would be safe if it's oral tabs, why not give the gyno a buzz and check? xx

 

[ticktock]

hey all

Not sure about the bacid Mouse, have you done a search on here to see if its mentioned?
yeh if you just reset the cbfm it should be fine.

I went low to high last month too was soooo annoying as we were on holiday with family and had trouble finding time to bd and trouble tearing oh away from his holiday drinks which does not help matters lol so could've done with more warning? I do go by ov pains and ewcm too.

I've started drinking red raspberry leaf tea this cycle,is meant to strengthen the uterus and help with spotting so we shall see! Well hopefully I'll get up the duff and won't see lol

Hello ladies-room for a little one? We are TTC #1. I was 28 last week and hubby is 32. Married for a year. Stopped being 'careful' around Dec 09 but really started trying from about March 2010. Bought myself a CBFM and started using it April-got my peaks that month and lots of bding but no bfp this month have only had highs and no peak, but def ovulated as have the lovely sore boobs I have post ov. We did bd on the first 4 highs so there is a (very) slim chance I suppose! I would think I am around 6-7dpo now and just the sore boobs to speak of! We are both healthy and fit so hoping everything ok-no previous children between us. I cant get over how long it already feels we have been TTC tho! Hubby v broody and every month af arrives I really get quite down and worried something is wrong . Would be great to have some buddies to help along the journey! x

Welcome kittycat!

Not long until you can test then!! You could be the first BFP of the group! xx

Its like I wrote that post, is exactly how I feel! It does feel like been trying forever doesn't it!
You're v welcome to join us and hope you get your bfp this month!

Well today peed on my cbfm stick, 2nd stick of cycle and got a high already?! When normally don't get peak til day 16ish and today is day 9? Maybe I'm gonna have a shorter cycle this month? Or to make up for no highs last month I'm gonna have loads this month

Agh its all sooooo confusing

 

[KittyCat82]

Thanks ladies-I feel better already. Even though we are in this together (ie hubby) sometimes it does feel a bit lonely-I think hubby doesnt want me to stress too much so try not to talk about it ALL the time!! dan-o, thanks for the post-I am not going to test until well after af due-too many disappoinments in the past. I have never gone over 35 day cycle since I came off the pill 2 years ago so I will be waiting till at least day 36! Plus we go on hols next week so that will take my mind off it! ticktock, I know how you feel! The first month I used the CBFM I thought it was great, peaks and everything-typical! I know it cannot have been far off as like I said I get sore boobs usually 1dpo and started having them on Sun-they are really sore today tho, and dont usually get too bad until just before af, but the monitor def picked up something at the right time-just dont think it may have been enough this month! X

 

[mouse_chicky]

Thanks everyone for the advice. I looked it up and nothing I found mentions ttc but everything says bacid's okay to take while pregnant, so I'm going to assume its okay.

I'm not sure when I'm going to see her next, but I look forward to using sis's CBFM to take out some of the guess work. Indeed, even though it it hasn't been that long, this journey sure makes time slow down.

Hi kittykatcat! Nice to meet you.

 

[dan-o]

How is everyone today?

My OPK's are back to negative, so I'm guessing I'll ov today or tomorrow.
Nearly forgot to BD last night, I fell asleep! Luckily the TV woke me up, so I pounced on OH quick!!

 

[ticktock]

hee hee, thats good, no slacking dan-o!

I'm high on my cbfm, prob won't actually ov for another 5/6 days I reckon but am bding anyway, gotta obey the cbfm lol

hope you all been enjoying the sunshine? I did a carboot this morning and made a measly 15 quid but at least got a tan so its not a total loss

 

[mouse_chicky]

Day 14. Ovulating; who knows? Better BD just in case.

 

[ticktock]

heh heh I'm same as you mouse, cbfm says high but much earlier than normal, weird! So am bding anyway and if I still ov as normal its gonna be a busy next couple of weeks lol

 

[Carnation]
