[Kylarsmom]

Hey ladies and Sarah! I just wanted to come say hello! I miss all of you! I wish I didn't feel like barfing all the time and I'd be on here more to chat with you lovely ladies! Hope all is well!!

Hi I was wondering where you were!! was thinking you were caught up in the 1st Tri section. Oh no too bad you are feeling so sick, but Im sure its well worth it. Please sprinkle some baby dust on our thread, even if it is slightly tinged with the smell of vomit

I was talking about you earlier, you ended up practically every night around your OV before your BFP right??!!

ya i havent even been talking in the first tri much either ive just felt so sick..

Here's some baby dust tinged with vomit

Yes we did it everyday in my fertile period except one day we missed..

Hi can I join?

I have looonngg cycles for some reason usually from 43-45 days. If my calculations are right I should be due for af on boxing day. I'm more in the NTNP area, all I really chart is af and CM. Now I think according to my ticker thing I'm 2 days to ovulation but I had EWCM on the 8th in the am and dtd that night. So would it make sense to dtd tonight, and tomorrow for my suspected O? Does EWCM indicate O in the next couple of days or that day?

Sorry I am really new to this.

hi and welcome! where in canada are you?
Im sorry I dont know anything about CM, I use the ovulated pee sticks myself.
and wow 43-45 days, is that every cycle?
wishing you lots of luck!

Hello everyone! AF is due the 23rd, but I'd love to get a that day instead!
My story is that I got pregnant on the first month of TTC; unfortunately, it was an ectopic and had to be terminated at 10.5 weeks. We had to wait for 3 months in order to get the methotrexate out of my system and to build up folic acid again. So, this is our 3rd cycle TTC again.
My cycle is usually 30 days, and this month I got a +OPK on CD14 and a -OPK on CD16 (I couldn't test on CD15), so I'm just guessing that I O'd on CD15, which puts me at 4DPO. We tried to follow the SMEP, so CD9, CD11, and CD 13, 14, 15, 16. T
his was my first month using OPK's and I think it really helped me understand my cycle a little better.
I'm on a few other threads, but always looking to join new ones in order to meet new people and hear about their experiences!
sarahincanada: Where do you live in Ontario? I'm from Montreal. Are you originally from England?

 

[Kerjack]

I'm in Ontario about an 1.5 hours east of Toronto.
I've been thinking about trying OPK's but I don't want to be obsessed with using them, so I may not even try that haha.
Yup it's been every cycle since I went off the pill a year ago.

hi! Im an hour west of toronto and yes grew up in the UK
when you get a positive ov test you can ovulate anywhere from 12-36 hours later, so its hard to pinpoint I find (you getting the negative on CD16 means no LH surge but doesnt mean you definitely O'd) I find I get crampy a day after my positive ov test so assuming thats my O, do you feel anything?. the SMEP is good I think as you BD for 3 nights after the positive test... sounds like you BD'd right around the perfect time so good luck! Ive done the SMEP for 2 solid months, last month my mum was here so that messed everything up. This month trying to do the every other night thing.

i do think the ovulation tests are really worth it, so you can narrow down your ovulation a little better. we started trying in february, but didnt do the ov tests till 3 months ago. I realized I ovulated much later (around CD18) where we were around day 13/14 as I thought it was 2 weeks after first day of period. so we wasted a lot of months doing it way too early. I think the pregnancy test thing can get obsessive, but not the ov tests as you are just waiting for your positive then you know to get busy! (the positive means you are going to ovulate 12-36 hours later, so you have the time to get that sperm up there!)

 

[Anna Purna]

Kerjack: I wouldn't worry about getting obsessed with OPK's. Like sarahincanada said, they can really help you know when you're going to ovulate. I too thought my Ov happened sooner, so previous cycles I was doing marathons too early.
My only worry is that I didn't O at all this cycle! Usually I get the tell-tale cramp in one side followed by a few days of serious bloating, but this time nothing. So, it's true that OPK's can predict when you might Ov, but it can't tell you if you've actually O'd or not.
A lot of women on this forum do temping, which apparently can tell you exactly when you O. But if you're worried about becoming obsessed, I'd say that that seems to be the most addictive thing to do!

Hello Sarah and ladies!!

Just wanted to see how things were going for you.. really glad to hear that the appointment went well! A close friend of mine was trying to conceive her first at age 36 and had a polyp (spelling??). She struggled for ages, until she got the polyp removed, then conceived the following month... went on to conceive her second child with no struggle at age 39 too.

Not saying that is the cause of the 10 month wait... but it'll be interesting to find out the results when they come in. It all sounds very promising!

Good luck to everyone! fingers crossed for Christmas BFP's!! and

 

[mummyApril]

my AF due 24th had lots of symptoms until today where i just dont 'feel' pregnant slight cramping and had a bit of nausea earlier today but feel quite normal am hoping its just one of those days! i wouldnt normally say this but bring on the nausea sore bbs etc! hope you all get a BFP soon x

 

[kasey c]

Hey there...same here.
I'm due for af on 24 Dec too, and I no longer "feel" pregnant, like I THOUGHT I did a few days ago.
I am gutted.
In fact, here is my story from this morning.
Hi ladies
I have had a harrowing morning and need to share with someone.
First off, I am 8do or maybe 9dpo today.
I have had this feeling of pressure in my vagina, almost like I was...please don't judge me here as I know it sounds odd...but giving birth to an egg!
I know.
It's like a bulging feeling.
After much googling and staying up all night in tears I had decided I was having a prolapse - despite the fact that I am 29 and have never had children.
I was like, yup, this is it, I will never be a mummy.
I was even more upset when I did a hpt on first pee this morning and got a BFN.
There wasn't even a GLIMMER of a positive in the circle part.
I dragged myself off to the gyno and he did an exam and said NO PROLAPSE. Thank godddddd.
He did say though, that my cervix was high, and that I appeared to have had a surge of progesteron which meant my vaginal walls were kind of crushing my bladder.
I rang my sister and told her, mother of 2, and she said "oh yes I get this before my af"
GREAT.
So even though I'm not technically due for my period until Dec 24 I am pretty positive that I'm going to get it now.
The gyno wasn't saying much about whether I could be or could not be, but he certainly didn't give me any extra hope.
So now I am resigned to the fact that surely, nothing as GREAT as a BFP could happen to me.
I dunno.
I feel so negative and desperate and I hate myself for it!
Self hatred central.
xx

thought I would check back in here!

Im 7dpo I think (possibly anywhere from 6-8). I though my AF was due xmas eve but now worked out its due the 22nd! Although will only be second Af since my miscarriage so not 100% sure how reliable it will be. I POAS yesterday in moment of weakness, BFN obviously!

I got a positive when I was pregnant at 10dpo with a digi last time so going to wait till then now.

My symptoms so far:

Gums bled last night when I brushed teeth, but didnt this morning.
When I blew my nose this morning there was streaks of blood in it, but havnt had a proper nose bleed (never had one in my life).
Lots of cramps, some stronger than others.
Bowel movements either very loose or very hard (sorry TMI)
boobs feel fuller, and one nipple is itchy and is bumpy. Nipples more sensitive.
Thirsty and keep getting a blurry eye
CM is either very dry or very wet lotion type. Varies from dry to very wet in space of an hour, weird.

There we go! Anyone else similar DPO let me know your symptoms. x

Hey girls- sorry but I dont think im due xmas anymore...im just finally starting to get darker line on my Opk meaning im almost to surge but not quite so that could mean actual O in a day or 2- i dont temp. Does anyone else not temp and if so how do you know your actual dpo once you see dark lines on opk? Cant believe O is so late this month when ive been on vitamin B this month...seems to have done the opposite for me of what I wanted it to do

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

been away for a couple of days xmas shopping over the border in buffalo! how is everyone doing? I am now on CD19 and I usually get my smiley face on CD17, been doing ther Ov tests and no smiley face yet! when I pull them out to see the strip I can see the line is getting darker so I think its going to be tomorrow. Funnily enough my period was 3 days early last month, if the period hadnt come early then tomorrow would be my CD17 so perhaps my body is keeping to the old pattern (not adjusting for the early period)

I am using the ov sticks twice per day so I dont miss my surge, this morning it looked fairly dark but not to enough to create the smiley face, so will test tonight and tomorrow. Been BDing every other day.

good luck everyone!!

hi! i just posted about this too, I use the ov tests with the smiley face and no smiley face yet, but the line is getting darker when I pull it out. Im hoping to get it tonight or tomorrow. I take 1DPO the day after I get the smiley face. With yours I think you wont 100% know until the line starts to go lighter. If its dark now get and once you see it start to go light still as you ov from 12-36 hours after the surge (my specialist said generally 24 hours after)

Hello Sarah and ladies!!

Just wanted to see how things were going for you.. really glad to hear that the appointment went well! A close friend of mine was trying to conceive her first at age 36 and had a polyp (spelling??). She struggled for ages, until she got the polyp removed, then conceived the following month... went on to conceive her second child with no struggle at age 39 too.

Not saying that is the cause of the 10 month wait... but it'll be interesting to find out the results when they come in. It all sounds very promising!

Good luck to everyone! fingers crossed for Christmas BFP's!! and

hello the lovely mummycat how are you doing?
my regular doctors offce called 2 times already , the blood tests and the ultrasound tests were going to them and the fertility specialist so I wonder if they are calling about something on the ultrasound. we were away for 2 days so I will call in the morning. but i wonder why the fertility people wouldnt call, perhaps they are waiting for the results from the sono I go for next week then will call us in. If I do have a polyp thats great to hear it can be a quick fix! will let you know. hope you are doing well, are you taking it easy still?

AF is due Xmas day. Anyone else having symptoms yet? I've been very light headed and tired.

Heya... hope you had a awesome couple days away! Sounds very good about your lines getting darker! Fingers crossed for the smiley face soon!

Well.. glad to hear you have missed calls, sounds like they're on the ball, perhaps the fertility people refer details to docs and ask them to chat to you about it first... to advise you your options etc. Not sure... hopefully you'll know more tomorrow!

Otherwise we're taking it easy, still waiting for the first period after miscarriage, but I can expect it to be about 2 weeks later than it would normally be!

Let us know how you get on and if you have any news...

 

[sarahincanada]

so talked to my doctors receptionist, im low on vitamin D so have to take 1000iu daily which I dont think is fertility related, and i may have a polyp! she said they would fax to my fertility specialist. but my fertility specialist should have the same ultrasound anyway, so i called them and left a message asking them advice about this polyp. I go for a sono next week, so perhaps they are waiting for all results to call me in again. I just want to know if its big enough to stop me conceiving, the doctors receptionist didnt know.

I also didnt get a smiley face on my ov test last night or this morning, and the line is getting lighter now. so did I miss it? so weird. it was darker a couple of days ago and we have been so im not going to worry. theres no point if theres a big fat polyp in the way anyway!!

how many weeks has it been now? are you going to try the first month after your period or leave it for a while? there are so many people who become pregnant the month after a miscarriage, I wonder why people are so fertile after.
