Bright New Month, Bright New Cycle! Everyone's Welcome! :)

[prepping]

Thanks jchic. I really have no clue about cervical positions. All I know is that it was really uncomfortable for quite a while which has very much not been the case (even for quickie's) in the last week.
It's a long weekend so I have a feeling that our streak may just keep on going for the heck of it anyway.

Thanks everyone. Trying to think positive Doesn't help that I am also super emotional with AF!
Prepping - there is no reason I know of that we would have difficulty conceiving, although we have not had much testing done. My day 21 blood work came back fine, I am healthy and not carrying weight, have regular cycles etc. My husband is yet to have a sperm analysis which I am keen to do, but we need to be referred, and they won't do that until we have been trying for at least 12 months and my doc doesn't want to count 12 until December because we had two months where I don't think we hit O time due to work. Frustrating that it is an extra 2 months past our count, but what can you do.
Fingers crossed that you got your 'sticky seed' this month.

and Fingers crossed for everyone in the 2ww!

Hiya Ladies.

Could i join your little group?

I tested on monday and got a bfn however AF due today, got sore boobs that i don't normally get but im pretty sure its the witch.

Hello ladies.
So, I went on school camp. Very light and brief spotting on Thursday morning at 9DPO. Tonight, heavier spotting started tonight at 10DPO. Did a pregnancy test to verify and came in BFN. Looks like AF has arrived 4 days early. We are really bummed. Had stupidly kept our fingers crossed for a birthday present baby. So this is cycle day 1 of cycle 12 and no sign that we will ever have a baby. Not sure how much longer we will keep actively trying. I agree with you Summer - the pressure is too much. Perhaps this is just not something that is supposed to happen for us? Not very positive thinking perhaps, but the expectation every month that it SHOULD have happened is what just breaks your heart. Maybe I should expect nothing and then if anything ever happens I can be surprised.
Best of luck to everyone still in the game!!!!!!! Baby dust to you all xxxx

I definitely feel your pain. My plan right now is to quit all the technical stuff (bbt, opk's, cups, etc) and just take a more relaxed approach. My dr is trying to set me up with a specialist, but until then we will just keep having sex regularly. After all what else can you do right? Lol.

And prepping... Omg on the preseed package story. If that was my family they'd definitely have ripped open the package. Lol. At least you finally received your "moisturizer". Lol.

 

[wintergirl]

Hello everyone!

How is everyone doing??

prepping - that is funny about your mom finding your lube! haha, bet she must have known...wonder why they call it moisturizer? lol. I remember a few years back my OH wanted to spice up our sex life and brought some ...ahem.. "aids" if you like and my youngest sister found the box in my room before we had chance to use them! anyway you sound like you have been humping like no mans bussiness so I hope that one of those little has managed to fight its way through!

waiting - have you ovulated then yet hun? I hope you have been getting lots n lots of BDing in too! try not to get too stressed in the 2ww - just relax and try not to symptom spot! i know its hard - fingers crossed for you

mmquade - i feel for you I really do, its so emotional but try and stay positive, dont think that you will never have a baby becuase you will one day... try and take some of the pressure off yourself maybe and then it could just happen! by the way I know plenty of people that have conceived after trying for over a year!

jchic, doopers - how you getting on? you're both going on holidays soon right?


vicky - of course you can join! sorry the witch got you! how long have you been TTC? do you temp and chart etc... or just play guess work every month like me?

well I have got cramps today - sort of like period cramps and I'm guessing it is ovulation pain. I have a fair bit of EWCM but too be honest I noticed a lot of CM a few days ago but it wasnt clear, it was tinged.... I think that must have been pre ov CM! who knows... had a few good BD sessions in. last night we did it and I lay in bed with a pillow under my my lower back for about an hour... then I fell asleep so hopefully some of his little guys were angled enough to find there way in! gonna do it tonight and tomorrow just in case.

 

[jchic]

Hi ladies!!!

Winter/summer/1mm and doopers how r youuu?
Prep- Please store ur lube in a safe Place lol! Too funny
Waiting- hows the O looking?
Welcome vicky!

Afm- leave on thurs for italy and I cant wait!!! 2ww, ithink im out. Temps are above coverline but have cramps today @ 8dpo so i know shes coming. Am super emotional. I cry like every 5 minutes! Like right now lol. I feel this witch is going to ride in strong. I had a dream last night that i was driving and in the middle pf the road there was a hoard of animals like noahs ark. I could see their freaking breath in the cold! Such a weird dream and real! I think im going crazy!!!

 

[vickytoria88]

Ah the which hasn't actually got me yet, she's late and 2 bfn. Weve been FTC since April when we got married. Can't help but feel really down about it this month. Any news from anyone else?

 

[waiting2c]

Hey Hey Everyone! I am at my desk at work, first time in days! Not for long though but it means I have a proper keyboard to type on, not my phone.

I was so close to getting crosshairs, would have got them tomorrow but then my temp dropped today so I have no idea again. I have cramps and sore boobs to indicate ovulation but my temps are just not playing ball. Been so busy though that dont have time to dwell on it right now.

How is everyone else doing?

Great that you got to BD winter! here is hoping your got your eggy!

Prepping, your preseed story made me giggle. How funny. How are you feeling, anything happening on your end?

Jchic - 8dpo is a bit early for AF cramps isnt it?

Welcome Vicky! Fingers are crossed for you and your BFP

1mmquade - sorry you got AF its always so hard when that comes around again.

Hmmm, maybe temp drop ='s OV is near!! That is a good thing

How are all my lovely ladies today?! I leave for Italy on Thursday - cant wait!!!! I am so so excited
AFM - temps went back up today and I feel like AF is going to come. Cramps not bad today actually but I feel queasy and lightheaded....which I am hoping doesnt mean I am sick!!!! I will freak out if I am sick for my trip, LOL.

I think I am going to test on Weds or Thurs AM before I leave....lets keep the fingers and toes crossed for all of this month!

Thanks waiting! Hope I caught the egg... gonna be impatient now as i guess Im in the dreaded 2ww now - had sticky non stretchy CM today so i suppose I was right in thinking i ovulated y'day!

I have a work thing tomorrow - an art charity that we have worked with is throwing a party tomorrow that starts at 9! goes on until the early hours of the morning apparently! on a tuesday i know! we all finish work at around 5.00 so everyone was talking about going for dinner and some drinks before! The thing is I work with people that just LOOOOOVE alchohol - more than me, and if im not drinking much they will ask why, or just buy me a shot of jaegermeister!

what do i do?? I mean, im sure one glass of wine wont hurt, but just in case, I dont want to get totally f**ked! not only becuase of that, who wants a hangover on a wednesday anyway right?! I might just say im not feeling too good and slope off early! lol

hows everyone??

 

[vickytoria88]

Hey jchic! aww big hugs hun! are you sure it is definately AF? not to sound patronising... you know your own body but i think sometimes you can get a little more than spotting when its IB. Im sorry to hear you're feeling sad, dont get down, i kmow its easier said than done. How long is your LP normally? just remember, you have only been trying for a short period of time, you will get your BFP all in good time x

 

[wintergirl]

sorry jchic
big hugs
how is everyone else??
i not been on here for a few days as been a work alot i finally go on holiday on fri yey

hey doopers! im good thanks! well jealous of your holiday! make sure you relax loads and get plenty of

if you conceive during your holiday I am so storming into thomas cook and booking a nice week away somewhere hot! lol x

 

[prepping]

Vickytoria, Didn't even get a chance to say 'hi' before you got your BFP! That's wonderful hun!!! H&H 9 months! Want to share what kind of symptoms you were getting towards the end?

winter, I honestly don't think it's an issue to have a few drinks at this point. Especially as it's not even likely to have implanted yet for you. Either way though, a Wednesday hangover would suck. Have fun!

jchic, like winter said, you're still pretty early on ttc. Try not to let yourself get too bummed as it'll happen when the time is right. I'm currently in my 5th cycle and am pretty okay that it hasn't yet as I've enjoyed the process. There's something to be said about a few glasses of wine, some sushi, and having my steak medium-rare.
It'll happen for you soon. Wouldn't it be nice to be a stress-free pregnant lady when that time comes? Bet you'll feel better as you're enjoying a glass of italian wine.

dooper, just a few more days until you're off! Yay!

waiting, maybe your work schedule has thrown your temps all out of whack? From the little I've been able to interpret on charting, it would seem to me that you O'd on CD14. That's just based on comparing this cycle to the others you have there.

Doing good here. Back to real life after having Thanksgiving long weekend. LOTS of food. Now need a major detox.
No casual observations as of yet, but it's still super early. I feel much more relaxed this month for some reason... it would be super if this was the month, but I won't be too upset if it isn't. It'll happen when it's ready!

I've mentioned before that DH's mother has a weird ability to foretell when people are pregnant by dreaming it. Well she mentioned that she had one recently where she was taking care of a little baby girl and she mentioned to DH's sister that they can borrow a playpen from us. ...... Maaaaaybe it could mean something?? DH isn't convinced as he says she normally dreams they're pregnant, not just having baby stuff. So we'll see!
