good for you tinks I really hope you get your BFP soon hon, good luck- I usually get a positive opk around CD13 or 14


Caz night, hoping for a bfp in the morning

thanks britt- i did notice on the opk today the 2nd line was getting darker compared to the previous days. they say with the digi opks u shouldnt take any notice of the lines on the stick but whenever ive had a positive on it and ejected the stick there has been 2 dark lines on it so i think it must be the same as the regular ones. my cm hasnt been great so far but i am fxd for ovulation soon xx

 

[babyloulou]

If your cm doesn't get better Tinks- try decaf green tea and robitussin cough medicine xxx

Hello ladies,
I've been lurking around reading this thread but afraid I don't post a great deal. Just wanted to say that you've all helped keep me going through this 2ww & I've laughed out loud reading some of the posts, so thank you
afm, 14dpo tomorrow and I've held off testing as yet. Probably jinx myself by saying I'll do a test in the morning and AF will show before I go to bed tonight lol!! I've only got some cheap internet tests that I've had a while and noticed today that they're 10mIU so probably could've tested earlier anyway, doh!! Don't feel too optimistic though, symptoms are the same as they are every month, nothing different.... we shall see

 

[Smile4me]

Good Luck Wait and Hope hun
any reason why you are waiting until December to do the clomid?

 

[Wait & Hope]

smile - sorry, British thing with the dates, we put day/month/year so this is actually my first round of clomid

 

[Wait & Hope]

Just changed my signature to avoid any further confusion...

 

[Smile4me]

oh sorry ok thats good
Have you ordered your pressed hun? Also drink grapefruit juice and decaf diet green tea as well and do the egg meets sperm plan hun and you should get it

 

[Wait & Hope]

Used pre-seed AND softcups for the first time this month, so have those boxes 'ticked' (British term for 'checked' lol!) already! Have been drinking green tea for about four years now, so not sure if that is helping but I enjoy drinking it so that habit will continue

 

[Smile4me]

So go !!!!!!

 

[Wait & Hope]

Will test in the morning, it's real late here 1:00am, so I really must go get some shut-eye have a busy day tomorrow, family day out before my girls go back to school after their half-term break.

Congrats, BTW smile4me, on your BFP so pleased for you - how long were you trying for?

goodnight x

 

[Smile4me]

Awww good night but if its 1am then you might as well go ahead and test...lol
I took mine at 3am..hehe

I was trying on my own for 15 months and then sought out help and Thank God I was able to get mine after the second month but I truly believe between the egg meets sperm plan, the drinks, preseed and 100mg thats what did the trick

Good Luck sweetie, let us know... and Good night

tink- my positive smily opk came on cd 16. smile 4 me- congrats on the bfp!! what is the egg meets sperm plan?

 

[tink28]

sarlar- im cd14 now and not sure if i can feel ovulation approaching! i know its possible to O late on clomid im just hoping i actually do.

babyloulou- thanks for the advice, ive just started green tea the past 2 days how much of it should i be drinking? ive got the robitussin too.

was also goin to ask others what the sperm meets egg plan is? xxx

 

[sarlar]

tink- i was wondering the same the about the sperm meets egg thing- here is a link to an explanation! i was doing it without knowing it!
https://www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm

i started feeling o symptoms on cd 14-15- i had a lot of abdominal pain/side aches, bloating, ewcm, cervix was soft high open, tired, mood swings!! progressively they got worse! i also did grapefruit juice two large glasses a day, robittusin 2 tsp q4hours while i was awake, and drank tons of water. symptoms have all still pretty much continued. good luck on the o!!

Hi lovely ladies. Hope everyone is fine and well today

Smile, Onelil and Babylou.....how are those beans doing? Awww, so cute that you told your girls, Smile!!! I'm sure they're mighty excited!!

DM....I hope the finally showed up yesterday.

Emma.....how are ya today. Days till you're in the 2ww!! Can't wait to cheer you on

Caz and Wait&Hope....good luck with those tests today. I'm looking forward to some good news

Ttc sweetie....how's that 2ww coming along? How many days till you test?

Britt hun, are you on clomid this month? Have you started yet?

As for me, I'm having the clomid-induced symptoms (sore breasts, cramping, etc.), but because I know we missed the window, I know its just the clomid messing with me. Evil, evil, evil I say!!!!! . Besides that, I'm fine and looking forward till my period starts next week. I can't wait to try again next cycle!!!! IT'S DEFINITELY ON!!!!!!!

Oh, and I just saw Twilight last night, 1000 years after everyone else.....and I'm sat here at work still....speechless. I'll go hunt for New Moon next.

thanks sarlar- i cant follow this unfortunately as im using a donor so i just have to go for it when i get my positive opk and hope for the best! but i really hope this has worked for u this month and u get your bfp!
i have no real cm atall yet to be honest, not sure if its the clomid drying things up but i havent noticed any for the past few cycles anyway (certainly no ewcm anyway).
think i may try grapefruit juice today! i hate the taste of it but will try anything!
oh and sorry if this makes me sound stupid but how can u tell when your cervix is open? trying to check mine and can tell the difference from when its hard and soft but thats about it!
xxx

 

[sarlar]

yeah i was super dry at first from the clomid but i was obsessive about ruby red grapefruit juice, tussin, and water!! as far as the cervix, i think i am right about mine but i am still learning. this is what i have been going by:

i sit on the toilet and then gentle insert a finger into the vagina up towards the belly button, the opening of the cervix is located near the front of the vagina.
-open cervix will feel soft, high, open, and wet. An open cervix feels soft much like your cheek, while a closed cervix feels more hard and rubbery, like your nose.
High means it's farther back. During ovulation the "Os" lifts allowing the let down of vaginal secretions and allow sperm to enter. Open, it will feel like there is a hole, or small opening, that you can almost stick a finger tip into. When you are not fertile, and the cervix is closed it feels like a hard dimple. Wet just mean that there is cervical mucous. Cervical mucous is usually described as "egg white consistency" because it is white and stretchy, much like egg whites.

I also have a hard time with this because my cervix is off to the side so i kinda guess a little! i can at least tell though there is a big difference throughout the month so i can monitor changes!!

ttc- 9 dpo!! when are you testing??
