anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[dan-o]

Congrats on giving up smoking kitty! Well done!

I'm an ex-smoker too, I quit about 5 years ago!

10dpo for me today, took a test, it was BFN. Gutted.
Things were looking quite good as well, symptom wise!

Oh well, I guess AF will be here on sunday morning

 

[DaretoDream]

Dan-O remember 10dpo can still be early! Fx'd.

 

[dan-o]

Thanks yeah, I guess it can be!

11dpo today, boobs still sore & I'm still crampy, so I guess there's still a chance of a last minute BFP...

I'm not testing today though, I'm going to wait and see if AF shows tomorrow first

 

[DaretoDream]

i think that's wise. I think i'm going to wait until the day of this month to test. I know i'm O'ing today- TONS Of ewcm and my temp soared up. Problem is i haven't been able to bd for 2 nights because hubby too tired from work. That really pisses me off. You want this kid or not man? He got mad when i asked him that. He's just too grumpy. Hoping we'll get a shot at it today after work. i'm only there til 1, and i can use the glorious softcup which i'm hoping has helped us already!

 

[dan-o]

Well I caved last night as my boobs were still sore (unusual for me the night before AF due)

BFN again, lol

AF is now running late, but I have gained a day on my LP once or twice in the past, so maybe this was just a good cycle.

Good luck catching your egg dare!! Hope this is your lucky month!! xx

 

[ticktock]

sorry about the bfn dan-o but if af does arrive at least you've had a longer lp!

I'm just waiting for af to arrive, pretty sure I ov'd freakishly late and its the long weekend we went camping and sharing a tent does not make a good bding environment lol so pretty sure we missed it this month

even tho we're more ntnp, am still keeping track of ewcm but have felt much more relaxed this month which is good!

Next cycle is number 6, always though we'd have done it by now!

Even dreamt I started spotting last month, how tragic is that! I gotta get a more interesting life lol

did you get a chance to bd Dare?

 

[DaretoDream]

Hey dan i'm so sorry you got another bfn. But, i won't be taking that as the answer until the AF shows. Sorry! I"m going to have a pma for you!!

As for us we managed to get another in last night- hoping that we caught that eggy. Just waiting for ff to confirm an O. Not sure about my temps though.

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi all-how are we doing-Dan-o, any sign of yet? Yeah, I smoked on/off for about 8 years-was creeping up to 10 a day. I told myself at Xmas that if I wasnt preggers by June (6months) I would quit as I know it can affect female fertility-not sure exactly how though? on day 17 now-feel I am over the worst. Went out for a few cocktails on Friday and didnt even feel the urge!!

Ticktock and dareto-how you guys doing-are you post ov now? I am due on today and pretty sure not happened this month. I am hoping the holiday I have next week, acupuncture and no smoking will help things over the next couple of months. I have also started taking extra supplements ( I am a veggie) and actually taking them every day rather than for a week then forgetting about them! Out of interest, do you guys drink much? I dont drink in the week but like a couple of glasses of wine at the weekend. I kind of stopped when we first started ttc but decided I couldnt put my life on hold!

Anyway, decided to ntnp again this month-not gonna use cbfm as was soo much less stressed last month. Have got app on 23rd Sep with Dr to go through all results, although I know they are normal. I wanted to ask her about my tubes, re my op. My sister was back this wkend-I told her about the physchic ( I cant spell that word) and she put in into perspective in her no nonsense way for me!! Made me feel much better lol!! X x x

 

[DaretoDream]

Saw another post from dan-o around saying the got her this morning.



I'm at 3 dpo today love. Feeling down though because we bd'd on two days before O, and one day after. Not on the actual day. DH works so much, he just couldn't do it EVERY single night. I fear we missed it again. But we used softcups and pre-seed hoping it did the job.

kitty- does the cbfm work well for you? Have considered getting some kind of opk if we don't get our bfp this cycle.

I drink occasionally. Before we were trying, i drank a few nights a week- like one drink. That's it. Now that we're trying, i drink probably every night up until the week before O. So that i can relax because as soon as AF gets here i start drinking because i'm sad. But, i know to stop. And again, it's drink a night.

I do like going out with girls from work on a weekend night and just having a few drinks (that's like 2 for me).

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi dareto-poor dan-o. I am fully expecting af to turn up in next 24 hours-rubbish!!

Yes cbfm is good-sooo many people rave about them. I just seemed to get a bit stressed about being low, high and peak and I think it added to my stress! If you are less neurotic than me, lol, you will be fine!! If nothing happens next month I may well go back on. I may even this month, I'll decide when af shows up! Yeah I am not a big drinker either but just wondered if some women stop altogether when ttc? x

 

[DaretoDream]

I do only during O and the 2ww! Just in case.

 

[ticktock]

I don't drink much at all anyway but haven't given it up all together.

I was much less stresses ntnp this cycle so when the witch arrives as I'm sure it will I'm gonna do that again. was much better!!

I'm thinking of taking some soy next cycle so bring my ov earlier as its getting later and later. Anyone have any experience of that?

Ah sorry the witch got dan-o, not good at all

 

[dan-o]

Saw another post from dan-o around saying the got her this morning.

Yep she sure did

 

[dan-o]

Ticktock, I took soy on this cycle just gone
I will be on it again this cycle if I don't need bloods or anything doing at the FS.

I took it on days 3-7 to delay my ov to a more reasonable day, and it seems to have worked!
In fact I had an excellent cycle all round.. a few more like that & I reckon I'll be BFP again!

 

[KittyCat82]

Oooh can someone fill me in on the whole soy thing? Sorry af got you dan-o, fully expecting to be caught myself tomorrow. Good you are still so positive Hun I find it so inspiring x

 

[ticktock]

thanks dan-o, am starting to feel bit 'periody' bit of tummy ache and feeling hot so af will be here soon doh but hoping will at least last til tonight with no spotting and beyond hopefully!

Am beginning to think the month that I got to 14dpo with no spotting or anything may have been a chemical, I took a ic test the afternoon before and it had a very faint line but I dismissed it as I came on that following morning so assumed it had dried funny or was an evap.
I also had no hot flushes leading up to af and really had a lack of pms symptoms but I just thought the bvits had worked really well! Which I had tested properly no but thought I was being good not testing lol

Well will see how this witchy visit goes and get some soya methinks!

Am off to work now bleh and not in the mood to look after other peoples children! Have good day everyone!

 

[dan-o]

I'm back from my FS consultation! Seems like it's been a long time coming!
The FS was really lovely & the appt went well

We have two issues it seems, one lies with me - I have a short LP and a tendency to ov early, these are probably cutting my chances of conceiving right down.
The other is OH's SA. It's much lower than we thought, only 10m and this is almost certainly due to his varicocele, so they don't expect it to improve. The motility and morph are ok (39% mot 10% morh) though, so we should have enough to get the job done one way or another

First plan of attack is clomid & follicle tracking to try and give me a 28 day cycle. Hopefully starting next month, depending on when I can get my baseline scans done!

Soooo glad I am finally moving forwards!

 

[DaretoDream]

dan at least you have answers and that they're going to help! that's fantastic! i'm hoping everything works out well and you'll have your little one soon!

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi dan-o that's great I bet you feel really positive now about moving forward. What is your cycle now then? Sorry to sound stupid, but how can you ov early yet have a short LP-are your cycles very short? I worry mine are too long-around 33 but Dr said they were ok..should they really be 28 days then? How will clomid help-I thought that was for people who dont ov? I am probably sounding soooo clueless now!!!! X x x
