It's hard to explain how I feel! I wrote a few threads on how she said some hurtful things when she was wtt! She told me 'it was alright for me I already had 2!!' And so on!Then She got pregnant the first month of trying and now at her scan she's having twins!!! I'm happy for her but he's not been very sensitive knowing about our troubles during the last few week's! But she is my mate and feel like I should put it aside xx
My hubby told me first it was twins and he seems a bit upset to so I guess we'll have to chat later and hopefully he'll put a bit more effort into bding at that vital time!

Mrskitty-always believe it can happen!!! Xx positive thoughts go along way xx

I have to admit when I hear anyone on here has got a bfp I am delighted because we share a lot and the majority of us do not compare each others situations, it is a struggle for us all. Saying that my oh told me a colleague was pregnant and I was 'I bet they did it once and she got pregnant'. Then there is the fact that I was told to lose weight (I know I need to and was already trying) and i'm saying to my husband that someone we know is literally twice my weight and has had a baby with her own egg on her own with a donor. So it is a mixed bag of emotions isn't it. People are insensitive, even our own friends!

Is anyone else's monitor giving them a count down to af?

No is it supposed to? What day are you? I am cd20.

 

[Biscuitbaby]

no - mine isn't either! but there was a part in the questionnaire that made me think maybe it was supposed to

I'm on day 18

I need help............

I got my 'peaks' on cd 9 & 10 but with no 'highs' before it - just straight to peak!? so do you think I o'd? I thought that was a bit early in the cycle to o? but the day after I had one high and lows after that

I guess I'm either 8 or 9 dpo? I have a 28day cycle (lately) which means af is due on the 22nd (ish) BUT I thought that AF always shows two weeks after O? which means af should arrive on the 16th or 17th

I'm confused now lol This make sense to anyone? Am I making sense?

(You can tell I'm on the laptop, I use loads of - I cant use them on my phone)

I do know that it shows two peaks, I read that and it will give you a high after. I think the reason is you get the hormone surge and you can ovulate up to 48 hours after that (this is where my timing has been out!). I never got any lows initially I went straight to highs from day 6! I got a peak at day 11 and 12 which is normal for me but my cycles are 25 days. so I have 13/14 days to af but I think this varies from each person. I do know that I was ovulating at day 13 or so I thought and was really concerned as this made my luteal phase only 12 days and a short luteal phase is not good but I was told 12 days is fine. You could of ovulated early? Maybe check next month with some of the ordinary cb tests, though my ic's matched what the monitor test. Do you think we have not had the count down as this is the first cycle with the monitor, maybe when it has more information about your cycle it does it?

I will be joining you this month as would literally have to be a miracle. Lets hope next moth is our lucky one.

 

[hopeforamirac]

just finished the questionaires ready to post back and realised i havnt got a package/ jiffy bag big enough to send it all bk lol.

 

[Biscuitbaby]

Even although from what I read, I should be in with a chance this month but I'm really not hopeful (we bd the night before I got my first peak) so I'm expecting af to catch me!
Can we keep our thread going? pweeeeeze

 

[MrsKitty]

I want to keep the thread going too! I have not connected as well anywhere else on here and I want to know how you are all getting on.

Biscuit you are certainly still in with a chance this month! Going to keep everything crossed for you. We bd 3 times this cycle (I'd be p'd even if we were not ttc) and not at the right times. I am on a mission now, he is gonna bd more and at right time next cycle even if I have to lock him him in the bedroom for a week Also I am going to lose weight, never ever been so determind.

 

[Biscuitbaby]

I don't know, I'm not feeling very hopeful! I wish I was but I just don't think we did it!
Hubby has been on fire since our 'talk' lol but I don't think it's gonna do us a lot of good now haha but I'm honestly not complaining ;-) I bet it's not the same for next month lol

I'm with you on the mission!!! I need to loose as much as I can for my birthday at the end of the month! What's your plan of action?

Weight loss wise I need to lose 1.5 stone to shut the fertility Dr. up and 2.5 to get into normal bmi. I was told to do low carb low sugar and was reading this is because insulin effects fertility and obviously both effect insulin (I am not diabetic). So I am doing old style weight watchers (this works for me the new one doesnt!) and I am eating good proteins and low carb. It is working, I cheated and weighed early I can honestly say I have not felt like cheating, possibly because I felt so bad about been told to lose weight and oh is trying to also. I felt fat and a failure and could of sunk into one and though the weight loss will not create the miracle I want if it helps a bit that motivates me.

What about you? Whats your weight loss plan? You are a lucky duck oh getting the message...not sure mine has yet. x

Welcome to the trial. I found it ok apart from having loads of high days and my monitor screen breaking half way through

I found it good apart from the lack of hubby's input haha
I went straight into peaks-which if it's right, I ovulate earlier than I thought! So at i still got something from it! Xx

What is the new weight watchers? How does it work?

I joined slimming world at the end of march! I've put on 6stone (it's not a typo it is 6) over the duration of having my 2 I've lost 1.5 stone so far but I've obviously got a long way to go!!

Its the pro points weightwatchers which has been around a while, you can eat as much fruit and veg, have a daily and a weekly allowance of points. I tried this in the run up to my wedding and I struggle to lose anything! Also despite loads of success stories slimmers world I could not lose with either So I am back to original ww which is as much veggies and a daily allowance of points, but I am also doing low carb (vegetarian style) as I have been told by specialist to do low carb. 1.5 loss is great! Just shows you can do it We will have to update each other on our weight loss, I think it helps when not doing it alone. OH is actually dieting too, this will make a massive difference to me cos I have never ate so much crap since meeting him lol.

Hi KirstyJane :wave: I have had a similar experience to biscuit, I would of found it helpful if it was not for oh lack of input and also we had tests at my peak time and we could not bd. I would probably not buy one as cb tests without the monitor tell me the same and I find it more useful recording stuff on Ovufriend or fertilityfriend. It seems easy to use though and can see how it would help people. I also discover through using it and my own research that my bd timing was probably slightly off. No success stories yet, but two of our lovely ladies got their bfp before they started!
