CD1 August 11th - wanna keep one another sane?

[Halle71]

got me a day early which means I was right - FF got my O date wrong. I'm now pinning all my hopes (rather dangerously I know) on this cycle. We are going to Majorca for a week in 12 days and I am due to O in that week. I was so upset this morning about that my lovely boy said we should talk about it tonight - a breakthrough! I am going to see if we can give it 100% effort for the next three months because my goal is to get pg by Christmas. That will also have been 6 cycles, the time doctors may see me as I am over 35....

There's a lot of pressure on Kittiekat, Chillbilly, Shmoo and Celine now to get us some May babies! Good luck girls.

Lots of love

Sorry, i've been a little quiet, but i still don't know if i've o'd.
Tested and got a
had tonnes of cramps this month, and was hoping my cycle was going to be a little more normal - last was 56 days.

Celine - my is irregular too, i am cd28 today and keep hoping that they're going to come into a more normal range.

there is still a chance that i haven't ovulated yet. so we are still regularly!

Good luck all you girls with regular cycles.

 

[celine]

So littlestar it is a battle to see who's cycle ends first or whose ends in a bfp even if I get out early I promise to keep you company here til ur bfp or af

 

[littlestar]

Thanks Celine - were probably in this together! If only our cycles were regular enough to make sense! I will do my best to post more regularly on here and keep you posted! Good Luck!

Hi,

I'm new but can I join please? AF arrived on Sunday, so soon start our 4th month of TTC. Feels more like 4 years though, the 2 week wait drives me totally loopy and I'm a complete POAS addict!! I honestly don't know how some of you stay sane! Any tips?? I'm lucky in that cycle regular at 27-28 days, going to get some Ovulation sticks this week though to hopefully increase our chances this month.

Baby Dust to you all!

P.s How do you get the little witch symbols etc?

 

[celine]

Hi Willow the symbols you should find it you click on 'go advanced'when typing response (should be bottom right )
When my af arrives will be my 4th month trying too!

 

[shmoo75]

Ok Celine I accept your challenge to race to see who's cycle ends first either with or My temp rose this am but, FF is still not saying when I OV'd and when so bloomin' annoying I feel sick every morning and at random moments through out the day also my boobs ache on and off through out the day as well. The boob thing I get every cycle and when I am pg so, can't go purely by that sign and, the sickness feeling might be a new AF sysmptom my body has decided to give me a few mths down the line after m/c. Oh the joys!!!!

 

[celine]

Hmmm It seems almost obvious that u o-ed on CD 17th...why dont you override it on FF? That nwould make u 13dpo!

 

[CHILLbilly]

Celine and littlestar......
Hope your wait will be coming to an end soon!!!!!!
My cycle has gotta longer by only 2 or 3 days. I can only imagine the frustration of an unpredictable cycle.
I am thinking my cycle will be only be 2 days longer then normal.....had a tiny bit of spot but no cramping.
I'm a bit down today so will be keeping myself busy off line. Hope you all are doing ok and keeping busy.

 

[kittiekat]

Ok the good news and the not so good, which first??

Temps had dropped a little this morning so started the morning feeling quite down anyway.

Well this morning I did a FR and it was and I can tell you i was soooo gutted. Had a good cry before going to work.

Then went to the toilet as was having af pains and found a bit of cm tinged with blood again and thought see here she comes So put a towel on and took some pain killers and got my head sorted to accept her when she arrived full flow.

So come dinner time I went to check how she was getting along and no sign, no blood stained cm nothing..........................

Af pains had all gone, they were the worst this morning they have ever been yet so was so sure she would be coming. I always just start bleeding, I never spot usually thats why I got excited two days as I had the same blood stained cm.

Anyway, thought nothing of it but then suddenly my boobs started to tingle and I thought lets check google and see what it says about implantation 12 dpo.......

It wasn't great news as it seems quite late to implant then but not impossible so I look up when people get there positive according to dpo, and again people usually say 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 etc

So me thinks in my little head here, just maybe.......this morning was the last bit of implantation?

So I hold my pee as much as possible and buy another double set of FR. Get home and do the deed, nothing at first and my heart sinks but then pink covers the correct pregnancy end and then low and behold but a comes up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres me crying my eyes out and I keep looking incase they try to disappear but I can see two pink lines where the pregnancy end is and also a control line so there was three lines (hope that makes sense).

So this is the bad news, two lines where only one should be signals alarm bells in my head, maybe its a faulty test, surely there shouldn't be two lines?? I tried to ring FR but closed so now I am in agony wondering whether to be excited or not.....................

One of the two lines is more darker than the other but when I look at it and compare it to other positive FR tests it seems to far over to the left of the test, so I really dont know????

Sorry the message is huge but wanted to try to make sense of everything I have one more FR test left and one clear blue digi (which I am going to do in the morning) but I am really sacred to do them incase they are . I so want to believe that this test is really positive and to be truthful I have never gotten a pink line on a FR even with my chemical pregnancies etc, so am excited really.....................

 

[celine]

Kittie im not gonna be very helpful but there is no such thing as a false positive so there is hope hun
xxx

On my end I have over-ridden my FF o-date to where it looks like it fits better so Im only 8dpo, bad news is i only bd-ed the next night afetr o so slim pickings for me again.

Im so frustrated, why cant I just get my bd right!! I guess these last 2 charting months are at least a learning curve for me to understand my body and stop bding too darn early!

 

[Lyns]

Hey ladies...seems strange reading about your 2ww stuff still and here's me on CD6 already. She packed her bags and left today.....hopefully for a loooooooooooong time!

Halle, JJF et all....sorry she got you...

Amber.....where you gone....hope your still in?

Littlestar, Celine, shmoo...everyone with strange or long cycles so far....don't know how you girls cope.....mine are currently 25ish days with irregularity only a day or so either side yet it drives me nuts!

Chilly.....Huge to you hun, really don't like to hear of you down babe. Hope your feeling a little brighter and all is still looking good.

Kittiekat....I've got everything crossed for you babe....I think you are in with a huge chance of being our next BFP....remember Porkpie's fly? Faulty test or not, something came up ither than the control line and there isn't much chance of that other than being BFP....are you sure you two lines weren't the 'sides' of the postive line, and it was faded down the middle? I've seen that before on OPK's.

Oi...Max...you still poking your nose in occasionally? Hows you hunny? Where you at now?

OK, think thats everyone, hugs to you all, just wanted to let you all know I'm still thinking of you girls (and cos I have no real cycles buddies now thought Miel was with me for a while but she dropped back a couple of days...I feel like Billy no Mates!

Now where's that hubby of mine I think we need to practise! lol x

 

[amber20]

Sorry I haven't been on that much I have been a little down. The came like clockwork yesterday. A little frustrating. My other 3 I conceived right away. But on to a new month!

How are all of you doing?

 

[JJF]

Amber I'm with you...I conceived my 2 babies easily but I've now had three MC's mixed in so I feel your frustration! The witch got me last night, not terrible unexpected though so I had already had my tears over it all a few nights back. Last month was 1st cycle after MC, so this is now #2 and (here comes the TMI) the first day of each of these cycles I have had TONS of clots, almost like a miscarriage. In the back of my mind I have to wonder if maybe I was prego to some tiny bit but it couldn't implant? That wasn't the problem with my 3 MC (all sacs with no babies in them), but who's to say I don't have more going on, you know. Just something for me to keep in mind as I continue down my journey! Think I'm going to try the low does asprin and some B6 this next month just to see how it goes. Sorry, that was a longer rant than I ment to write!

KittieKat-that test does sound very odd, but as Celine said, a line is a line and no really false positives so I've got my fingers crossed for you girl. I had that red twinged EWCM this month for a few days then it stopped a few days before witch got here, I too did not know what to make of it. It did it last month also (after the MC, sorry to keep repeating myself, haha) so maybe that is now my "new normal".

GOOD LUCK TO YOU LADIES STILL IN THE GAME!!!!

 

[shmoo75]

Kittiekat - I have my fingers crossed for you hun that it really is a

Chilly - How you feeling today hun? Hope your spirits have lifted a bit I know it can get you down big time all this TTC malarky

I have over rode FF and it now says I OV'd on CD18 as it did before. I took a test this morning and I could of sworn I saw the faintest outline of a 2nd line. Not sure if it was my still more asleep than awake eyes playing tricks on me or it was for real. I will test again on Saturday morning and see if I get a darker line or, it is confirmed that my eyes were really sleepy and playing horrible tricks on me. Trying not to get my hopes up too much.

 

[celine]

schmoo looks like you might win this race after all
Im on cd 30 no signs of af, no symptoms, am feeling af cramps though...

 

[Halle71]

JJF - That's so weird, I was going to post something similar to your experience because my current AF has been really weird.
Also TMI coming up so apologies.
Basically I used to have a 5 day AF - medium, heavy, medium, light, light.
This time I had very, very heavy flow on day one (leaked through super, super tampons) together with some fibrous type material. It was quite pale, too light coloured for clots so I'm wondering if I also had a 'missed' miscarriage. Yesterday, day two, was also weird. Blood mixed with what looked like EWCM which also caused a problem with tampons because it couldn't be absorpbed. I also had quite severe pain for two days when I usually get it for 3-4 hours and physically exhausted when usually AF does not affect my energy levels once it has arrived.
It just didn't feel the same. Now it's day three and all but disappeared. Definitely not normal.

Shmoo - we need you to get a to boost our group's morale!! Here's to very BFP tomorrow. And Kittekat - looks like you may already be there. Fingers crossed for a darker line tomorrow.

Hi Lyns - lucky you - you may be Billy No Mates but not long now til you can start BDing all over again. That's the only good thing about AF. Once it's over there isn't long to wait. I do worry about wishing my life away though!

Chill, hun. Hope you are feeling better now. Let us know how you are getting on x

And Celine, I think you're gonna have to BD every other day between AFs. Will your OH be up for that?! I'm now confused about my O date. I alwayd thought it was CD 14 but now I've started charting it's looking like CD17 and OPKs don't work for me so I'm gonna have to get a couple extra sessions in myself!

Amber, I'm with you on your next cycle buddies thread so see you there soon.

June here we come!!

Halle, JJF, Have you read this post by Wobbles in Miscarriage and loss support?

https://www.babyandbump.com/miscarriage-support/673-miscarriage-facts-myths.html

Whilst I hope that support for that is something I never need, I found it an incredibly informative thread as to what goes on when etc.....especially the 3rd post "I am not sure if I was pregnant and miscarried or never pregnant at all"

You may know all this already but I thought it may explain some of your wierd AF's

 

[amber20]

I bought my husband some multivitamins yesterday and we are going to use pre conceive this time and see if that helps.

 

[kittiekat]

Well girls i'm out.............. I did another test this morning and there was a nice line so I went to work feeling over the moon. About 10 am I got really bad af cramps went to the loo and I was bleeding red blood. Anyway, that has carried on all day with bits where there is none. Its only when I wipe so not really heavy but on the way home got yet another test and my line is much fainter.........

So looks like either or yet again another chemical pregnancy...I just can't do this again. My cycle was like 48 days or something which just takes for ever..........
