[Briss]

sunflower, welcome!

Chicky, I hope your relaxed approach to TTC this cycle will pay off. So many of my friends got pregnant on holidays after TTC for a while so I am really hoping for you!

I agree my chart looks sort of promising but unfortunately since last night I have been feeling very familiar pains down there (probably cervix is opening up for period) so can only guess AF is on her way but am still hoping cos you never know. I have not tested yet (largely because deep down I know what I'm gonna get) but plan to POAS on Wednesday.

someone mentioned abstaining from sex in 2WW, the right answer is you should not abstain for more than 5 days (just read it in a book) cos the sperm needs to move all the time to be fresh, if you abstain the sperm literally begins to rot so you would need at least 2 ejaculations before you get new fresh sperm capable of fertilising an egg. To be honest I do not feel like BD in 2WW myself but after reading this something needs to change

Hi ladies

I signed up to this forum ages ago and dont think i ever posted! This is my first cycle using the clearblue monitor and i've found it really easy, it asked for a stick on cd6 and stopped asking on cd26 (yesterday). I'm currently 10dpo and feel no different!

Urm...i usually have a 30-31 day cycle so i'm due to test in 3-4 days, i have my FRER at the ready!

At little about myself me and my OH are both 27, i have a son from a pervious relationship, we have been ttc for 2 and half years, all tests have come back negative, OH SA is good, was referred to a specialist in april who says it appears i have PCO but not the syndrome, i'm currently having 3 lots of cd21 bloods done to check ovulation (i'm on my second month) waiting for results in july.

I'm hoping to find some ttc friends, hopefully i'll get to know you all a little better

Baby dust to you all X x X x X

Welcome Emma b!! Two newbies in one day!!! good luck this cycle let's hope your stay here is a short one little tip once you have had your first peak stop feeding it sticks as its pre programmed to give peaks, high and back to low after your first peak and if surge isn't detected in the first ten sticks it'll keep asking until it's use all 20. So save some pennies I also feed it an old stick at te beginning when I know I will get lows xxx

Ah thank you for the advise, i will definately do this. They are fairly expensive, especially as i forget to order them of the internet. I had to rush out to buy the sticks when i first started using it because i forgot them! And this month my fella pick my some up when he was in town as i mentioned i need some more soon, he then moaned about the price and was gutted when i told them you could get them cheaper online! lol

 

[chicky160]

That's men for you always finding something to moan about mine too nearly had a heart attack when he realised how much they cost but a very worthy investment I think. Xxx

Hi ladies -

Thanks for checking on my Chicky! I've got some stuff going on that I'm sort of in the midst of (not sure if good or bad - but definitely nerve wracking). I'll know more some time this week and will share when I can - but I'm following you all and can't wait to hear test results and see digis pop up with that beautiful word "pregnant"

[hopefulhoney]

Hi everyone,
Just remembered my password and now have baby and bump on my phone. Officially able to stalk you all properly! I am cramping on and off and waiting with baited breath to see what this cycle holds for me! (yikes!)

The cramping does sink my heart still but I refuse to give up hope... Can't wait to see what your results are ladies. Remind me, who is testing when?

 

[Briss]

Hopeful, I was planning to test on Wednesday but I am cramping too and all signs of AF are here so I am quite sure I will be out by then and wont get to POAS (well, there is 2% chance for a miracle BFP as always).

am pretty depressed as it is only CD23... I want my regular cycle back! Maybe I should stop drinking nettle tea? Apart from the operation, the only other new thing in my routine is red clover/raspberry leaf tea before O and nettle tea after O. I wonder if this tea may have any effect in shortening my cycle? They were supposed to make things better actually

 

[hopefulhoney]

Aww Briss! I get HORRIFIC cramps ordinarily (with vomiting and runny tummy too). My first pregnancy I had cramps EXACTLY like normal AF cramps. I wondered if ppl who say it's the same only get light cramping ordinarily but nope-I got full on EXCRUCIATING cramps! So hang in there. It's not over til ugly AF shows her face...

I am cramping too so if we both get bfn's we can comfort each other It's way too early for me to be getting AF too. I am expecting her 14 days after my Peak which would me Thursday.

I have heard those teas can affect your cycle and so be careful (even if they are supposed to be helpful). I have only changed two things. My op (when I lost bean, ovary and tube -Feb) and I use preseed which I love! Only the lube though-not the internal one. It's called pre...

Baby dust to all!!!!!

 

[smythdm]

For me - the BFP cramps are very different not only in intensity but in location and duration from AF cramps. Pregnancy cramps are definitely less painful/intense (for me - I get medium intensity AF cramps), but they last longer and come more frequently, and also feel lower in my abdomen. Hope this helps someone somehow

 

[Briss]

Hopeful, I expect my period to come on Thursday as well and it's 14th day after my O I still very much hope for both of us that AF wont come (at least not before Thursday).

Smythdm thanks for sharing!

I also was pregnant once long time ago, it was a very unfortunate pregnancy which ended in termination (and for which I guess I am now being punished) but from what I can remember for several days it felt like AF was coming any minute now, I remember a few times I felt AF actually started (was so relived) only to discover it was some kind of white CM. it was not until CD30 (my cycles are never more than CD29) that I did the test

 

[chicky160]

Ok I have one for you all!

I'm having ov cramps, and I've just done an opk. It's not a true pos but an almost there if you know what I mean. My chart says I've ov'd already and seeing as my temps are up it certainly looks like I've ov'd already I know temps are patchy as I've been away etc but it's a bit weird no? Can you ov twice in a cycle? X

Hi Ladies

I've rewrote this post a few times - I'm still a bit disjointed in my thoughts

Welcome to the new ladies I'm Garfie and I have not really been supporting the thread much as I've been in a dark corner hiding, I'm creeping out slowly.

I am feeling a little bit better physically today and even attempted some major housework, although I was totally knackered after it and had to have a lie down (but maybe that's my age )

Tink - have you had any HCG tests done yet? to see your levels rising.

Briss - Your temps are still looking good hun. Briss you are not being punished hun and you are correct I felt like AF was on her way when I was pregnant (now I just hope she bloody well gets here soon).

SMYTH/HOPEFUL - Glad you are back again lets hope you both get your this month

CHICKY - I am just in limbo at the moment waiting for two weeks to pass - that is how long we have to wait before we can (although we snuck a quicky in the other day OMG it hurt and he had to wear a raincoat) bleeurgh!

New ladies as you can see on this thread (I will get to know your names) nothing is TMI, nothing is sacred, we love to POAS and often encourage others too

Pixie - How long is your LP normally (I can't remember)

So now I am just waiting at least to get the two weeks post op out of the way I am temping and my temps are a bit crazy at the moment. I have promised hubby I will only temp this month (as how can my ladies stalk me otherwise?) he doesn't want me to use OPK's or CBFM - I'm sure after a month or so I will be able to talk him round

[garfie]

Chicky - I'm afraid your body can gear up to ovulate - but then something stops it - so you get like a false start if that makes any sense and then it ovulates later on maybe that's what has happened?

Is this a def positive or a nearly?

[hopefulhoney]

No harm in some baby-making fun chickie!!!

I hope this is it for you!!

 

[smythdm]

Garfie - happy to see you back Thinking of you!
