June/July cycle - new cycle buddies please!

[Farie]

Hey ladies,
CD7 today .. not bought my OPKs yet but thinking I will tomorrow or Thurs. AF is still about by gradually leaving little by little.
Roll on O and lot's of BDing .. I'm getting antsy!

Lu - go for the BDing .. It cannot hurt and can only give you more chances
Rosh - turning to the pre-seed yet?!?
Loula - how you doing sweetie?
Hollee - did you get your pre-seed?

 

[Lu28]

Lu - go for the BDing .. It cannot hurt

Turns out it can hurt! We just tried to bd again for good measure seeing as it's the day after O (hopefully!) but DH has torn certain delicate parts and it can't get beyond a certain point before the pain kicks in and it retreats again! Poor man, what have I done to him??!

We'll just have to hope we've done enough. Looks like I oved on cd14 and we bded on cd9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 - a personal best for us I think so here's hoping it'll pay off!! It'll be interesting to see how FF rates me once I've had my 3 high temps!

 

[Loula]

hello all, been a bit quiet, not much to post about really lol, in the wait for ov lol

Rosh, can you change your ticker please?! I want pie!!!

 

[Loula]

oh no Lu, you done gone and broked it!!!!

 

[Lu28]

oh no Lu, you done gone and broked it!!!!

 

[Farie]

Oh Lu - your poor OH .. still .. at least you got the vital days covered!

 

[Lu28]

Yep, fingers crossed! Temp is still up, a bit lower than yesterday but ok I think. Roll on next week when I can symptom spot properly!

How are you girls doing?

 

[rachelle1975]

Hey ladies!!

Hmmmm Pie!!

Well apparently i've not eaten too much as lost another 1.5lb - i might not be pregnant but i'm getting lighter yay!

Farie - turned to Preseed Monday and Tuesday.... there were certain chaffing issues! not to mention last night when we both wanted to but were tired out... it just kinda 'assists' ha ha ha

I figure Preseed will be featuring quite heavily now - i have 5 packets left so MAYBE there will be 5 more days in a row. Surely this plan has to work??

Going out to dinner for DH b'day tonight - yum! (just got weighed and now i'm off to gorge).

 

[Lu28]

Congrats on the weight loss Rosh, you're doing so well!

 

[Farie]

Rosh - congrats on the weight loss!! that's fab
Lu - temps are looking good ... roll on next week and proper symptom spotting!

I'm still waiting for AF to leave!! another 8 days (ish) till I O!

 

[Lu28]

Hope AF buzzes off soon Farie, you've got some bding to do!!! I swear, this is the month for us, it's do or die!!

s for us all!

 

[rachelle1975]

Well so much for NOT using OPKS as i don't wanna get stressed.

Had 2 sticks left for CB OPK from last month so since its CD14 i thought i would just confirm what always happens and check out my smiley face.

Nada, nothing, zip. Bum.

So now i'm a bit fluffed off and confused and i'm still BDing and shattered from it!!

DH is logical, maybe it happened yesterday or maybe tomorrow. Since i didn't seem to ovulate at all 2 months ago i'm just apprehensive.

Do or die eh Lu? Oh dear... i'm not feeling so positive today!

Right off to ride the Northern line for 4.5 hours hurrah!

 

[Lu28]

Come on Rosh, positive mental attitude and all that stupid motivational talk! Your DH is right, you could well have oved yesterday, could be tomorrow but either way, you're doing everything you can to catch the eggie this cycle. I have everything crossed for you hon

I got my crosshairs on FF!!! It's my first month doing temps so I'm a little over-excited...... Shows I oved on cd14 like I expected and it gives me a high grade for bd timing!

Very happy now! Here's hoping the temps stay up for the next couple of weeks. I'm not testing until cd15 which would be 8 July. Taking more B6 this month so I'm going to assume it'll exted my LP to 14 days and I'll test the day after. Just so I don't get excited about AF being 'late'. Also that will be the 4th anniversary of my mum passing away so it would be kind of nice to get a BFP that day

 

[rachelle1975]

I'll do my best Lu! I don't know what is wrong with me - just feel a bit les mis as was hoping everything was goin in the right direction for once! Having said that my CM has been very sparse since AF which is odd as i normally have a fair bit?? My temps dont' seem to be doing much either.

oh well, persevere!!

 

[Loula]

Right off to ride the Northern line for 4.5 hours hurrah!

Assuming this ISN'T slang for

Well done on the weight loss Mine wasn't so good, have put on 7lbs in two weeks
my head just isn't there and am binge eating, the stress is getting to me and it's showing and hubby STILL can't see why I want a break, actually someone else TTC I know ( who got her bfp yday ) said to not take a break, so maybe it's ME that needs to be made understand? I dunno...

well cd8. Suppose we should start bding then....

 

[Farie]

Loula/Rosh - big and a boot up the bum to give you some added PMA! We can do this (ok, right now I'm not even believing me .. but at least writing it is a start)
Lu - you started symptom spotting yet?
Hollee - how you doing sweetie?

I am, as you may have guessed, feeling rather pants today, which is dumb as I bought OPKs, a jumper and I should be feeling 'raring' to go .. but I don't
AF is still about in force (well .. still definitely 'here') and I'm wondering if I should put my CD1 forward another couple of days (to take account of the extended spotting) as by CD9 AF should have gone totally
Blah
Opinions girls?

 

[Lu28]

Farie, sorry you had to move your ticker hon, that's got to be disappointing for you

No symptom spotting just yet, I'm trying to be good until next week! No symptoms to spot yet anyway.....

 

[hollee]

hi guys

Rosh great news about weight loss your doing really well
i haven't ended up following the smep plan we've just gone for it with one night break, haven't had a + opk yet, but the line was def stronger tonight so fingers crossed for tmw.

im buying my preseed tonight, hopefully it'll come by sat.

lots of for everyone

xox

 

[rachelle1975]

Loula you crack me up! i don't think i could ride anything for 4.5 hours! dear lord i'd be in agony. Thank heavens for Preseed!!!

Sorry about the weight gain Loula but the post important thing is - did you enjoy it? If you had a break, do you think you would still conciously think about timings/ovulation etc? What about going on the pill for a month or 2 and i'm not suggesting lie to DH but maybe not tell him the entire truth?? just to give you head space to breathe? Very easy for pregnant people to say persevere, keep it up and 'it'll happen'. If only it were that easy!

Farie - is it typical for AF to be lingering like this for you? if it's out of the ordinary what about doing an HPT just to see? As for shopping... now if you had bought a nice pair of sparkly shoes you would DEFINITELY feel happier!!

I have barely any CM at all - totally different to last month. I am drinking less fluid than normal as i'm on this course in north london but it just doesn't seem right?? last month everytime i went to the loo there was quite a bit on the tissue - yesterday and today minimal egg/white type amount of CM but no smiley on the ovulation??

Maybe tomorrow morning will be better!!

Sleep well ladies!

 

[rachelle1975]

just a quickie - trying to be upbeat re ovulation but..... i went on babyhopes and used their ovulation calendar. It reckons yesterday was my highest chance of conceiving and today is ovulation.

Now..... if i were to ovulate today then the OPKs wouldn't show the surge as it would have already peaked this morning right???

I did have something that was the consistency of EWCM but was a bit cloudy - what do you reckon?

Someone have a look at my chart and put me out of my misery - i figure if my temp goes up tomorrow then ovulation was today.

Thanks for listening to me being a nutter
