Shelby when will you be testing hun??

Fletch any sign of those OPKs getting darker hun?

MrsD hows things hun?

Everyone else i missed out im so sorry im going on what i remembered when i had a quick catch up last night

AFM i had my first blob of CM yesterday,havent had CM like that for months and my OPKs are getting darker (iv attached a pic for Tawn and Fletch as i know they love looking at sticks,) we have been very good so far we have dtd every other night, done it last night, im debating whether or not to do it every day this week or carry on doing every other night, im due to O on Thurs/Fri. what do you think ladies?? every night or every other?? xxx

P.s sorry my tests are proper rubbish!! The lines are really faint, where do you all get yours from ladies, i need darker lines xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Cheryl glad you had a nice time and was able to eat a bit more yay for being over the worst of ms x

Leinz ouch 100% that's evil, I hope your appointment goes well and they can do something for you x

Hi cath, those lines are getting darker yay, I dont know why your lines are light I use that brand (well they look the same) and mine are dark you must have had a low inked batch x

Amy what a kind lady x

I'm off to have my blood taken to monitor my levels, chat later x

 

[MrsDuck]

Ooh I forgot bailey did you take today off? x

 

[cathgibbs]

well this is the second batch iv ordered and still bloody light grrrrrr, i dont mind this cycle as i know im gearing up to O from the CM.

Do you have to go every week for your blood MrsD? i hope your feeling ok xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Good luck at the hospital mrs d!

Yes I did take the day off, and I slept until 10 minutes ago so clearly I needed the rest! Feeling rather guilty now though as I have woken up feeling ok (ish, still quite achey) but I guess theres no point feeling guilty now coz its done and I am sure they will have covered it somehow and I need to look after the hobbit!!

Cheryl how was the Hilton? Hows the ms? I hope you managed to eat your nice meal xxx

Cath - oooh yay for darker opks and cm!!! I used to get mine off a seller on ebay called fertility planner I think. Are you going to dtd every other day?

Amy - aw that was so nice of that lady to help you!!

 

[cathgibbs]

Awww good, dont feel guilty hun you obviously needed it, just relax for the rest of the day now and have a nice relaxing soak and dont get changed out of your PJS!!! have a lazy day! you working tomorrow?

I dont know hun do you think we should dtd every day or every other? My OH doesnt want us to try too hard so i think every othr day would suit him but then again he has a very high sex drive so he wouldnt complain if we did do it every day lol xxx

 

[baileybubs]

No its my day off tomorrow anyway so more chance to catch up and relax. I am glad really and everyone else ca sod off if they think I shouldnt be off. At the end of the day I will be leaving there after this baby, whether it ends badly or I end up having the baby so why should I be bothered. And they cant sack me for being off sick when I'm pregnant and I have suffered a miscarriage before.

Me and my oh dtd every other day, coz quite frankly with mine and his work shifts I couldnt be bothered doing it every day!!! The only time we did it 2 days in a row was the day I got a positive opk and the day after, and I figured that would have been enough coz then there would deffo be spermies in there when I did O.

 

[baileybubs]

Oh and thanks cheryl! I forgot I'm a prune from today!!

 

[Tawn]

Amy, that was really sweet of that lady!

Cheryl, glad you are keeping some food down now!

Bailey, f' em! LOL you deserve some rest, I think you have run yourself into the ground!! And happy prune day! I cannot believe you are 10 weeks already! How many sleeps until your scan hun?

MrsD, good luck with your appt! Update us soon hun!

Cath, I def think every other night is the better plan. Both bfps that is what DH and i did, in fact the months in between with bfns we did it more and I think they are absolutely right that it lowers sperm quality since it takes 48hours to mature the spermies. And yes, I DO love squinting at your lines, though I still think that batch of OPKs is so strangely light? How weird is that?

These are the ones I used, they worked really well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highly-Sensitive-Ovulation-Fertility-Strips/dp/B001G7P62S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346671253&sr=8-1

 

[cathgibbs]

I agree with Tawn - Bailey you have worked yourself so hard you need to have a day off, sick day or not you dont want to be exhausted, tiredness in early pregnancy is a killer hun! your def leaving are you chick Will you look for a job in care or look at a different career?

Awww Tawn they are extremelly light lol, i wont buy them just yet if AF shows up then i will buy them, im trying to be optimistic this cycle lol

Did you have a lovely week with your dad?? when is your next scan? xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hi tawn, how are you feeling today? Thank you I cant believe I'm a prune already too, not long til you will be hun. I still think I'm at least 5 days behind that though based on ovulation but I guess I will find that out at the scan. Only 17 more sleeps until the scan.....when I think that when I booked the scan I had 31 sleeps I have to say time has actually flown (although 17 sleeps still seems such a long time!!)
I think I might be worrying a lot more next week though as my angel passed at 11 weeks so I will be really scared.

Yep Cath i agree with tawn, more bding makes less sperm quality I think hun.

 

[baileybubs]

Cath - I really want to get into project work or something like that and be a proper support worker, my area of expertise is really dementia and I would love to work for the Alzheimers society. But I also think that once I pass my driving test I could just quit my job and work for an agency. I know that they arent always reliable for hours but at the moment theres a real need for staff with agencies and you earn more and can pick hours, as well as gain experience so I will do that whilst looking for my ideal job.

 

[Tawn]

Yeah, having him over was amazing Cath, thanks! I just wish I had had a bit more energy because being so tired made me a lil' grumpy

And that sounds like a plan with the tests! Tbh, just being more relaxed and just doing it every other day with OPKs just as an indicator of O is a great way to go, and you are right to be optimistic! You are going to get your BFP hun!!

I am pretty sure my next scan won't be till end of Sept/early Oct when I am 12 weeks now, but I will find out when I have my booking in appt with the midwife on Friday.

Hiya Bailey! I am feeling pretty good today, was glad to be able to sleep in a bit this morning that's for sure!

17 SLEEPS?!?!? That will go so quick hun! I can understand how worried you will be, but just try and remember the chances of mmc are so low and having 2 in a row is even lower, so the odds are in your favour! I am sure your amazing PMA will get you through, and if you need a moan or to worry come on here and let it all out!

 

[cathgibbs]

yeh i think every other day is more realistic, i dont want my OH to get his hopes up with the every day, i dont think i would have the energy too!!

yeh when your driving you have more options to do stuff havent you? well you have a few months to figure out what you want dont you? When is your driving test? xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

oohhhh if you have your scan whilst im away im def going to have to get online and see your pics!!!! I bet you were over the moon when you seen it in the right place!! EXCITING!!!

Yeh CM put a smile on my face, im a tad 'wet' down there today so its getting me more excited (That sounded so wrong!) FX!! xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey everyone

Just checking in quickly!

Cath I use the same OPKs as Tawn, nice dark lines on them so easier to compare properly. I get them from eBay tho from fertility plan. Yey for cm, I think I am about 4-5 days being you in this cycle. I'm gonna be dtd every other to, starting tonight!

Tawn how are you are you getting much sickness?

Cheryl glad your feeling a little better.

Bailey glad you took the day to rest, will do you the world of good x

Mrs d good luck today!!!

Mummy how are you? Did you test again or did AF come? I hope not cx

Fletch where you been all weekend?

Poppy Thurl Amy, are you all ok today?

AFM I have a sore throat and am sneezing lots....think I'm getting sick which really sucks as we are approaching baby time!!!

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, to anyone else it would sound wrong cath but we get what you mean lol!!

I have lost my PMA a bit at the mo Tawn, I seem to have accepted that I wont get passed the 12 week scan. I just cant see it going right, but I'm trying to not let it get to me and get me down coz I'd just get stressed. I have just got to take each day as it comes, probably have a major wobble the day before the scan and then go from there.

Oooh Tawn when do you see your midwife?

I need help with something ladies, I keep forgetting to take my pregnacare (I end up taking it before bed on an empty stomach and you are supposed to take it with food). How can I remember??

Cath - I dont know how blokes would even have the energy to bd every day, even those with a high sex drive. My oh has a high sex drive too, must be killing him only once a week now lol!!

 

[baileybubs]

Morning cupcake, sorry you arent feeling well! You dont have hayfever do you?

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey It's only natural to feel like you do hun, everything will be good this time you just have to believe that, it's so so so unlikely to happen again. I do understand how scared you are tho, mmc is terrible as you just don't know what's going on but all will be fine x

I put my prenatals right next to where I dish up dinner so we take them at the same time (yes we, hubs has them to give him super spermies!).

 

[fletch_W]

ladies!! im home

i decided to multi-quote as i find it easier to catch up

I love baking cakes but I hate cooking dinner am I a bit weird??

I'm the same as you I'm sure I suffer with SAD. I suppose living on a little island so I spend a lot of time at the beach or on the water so as soon as summer ends I feel miserable

So the smep plan is basically every other day then as soon as positive opk 3 days in a row then stop for a day then one last try. God I'm knackered just thinking about it. Is it just me or does each month begin as a laugh and you are nice and enthusiastic then as the month goes on and you are still bding every other day and still wishing for that bloody positive opk it just becomes more and more like hard work???

Bring it on.......6 months to go!

hi mrs duck!! 6 months will go soooo fast!! i cant believe its september already! my mum gets SAD. i thought it was a made up thing but its def real lol. she gets so depressed. but i LOVE winter and praying so hard for snow! how are you doing? xx

Cupcake I couldn't cope without pre seed, we use it all the time now becuase every 2 or 3 days can be pretty time consuming, we have quite frequent 'pre seed quickies'

my conceive plus came this morning! although my hubby doesnt like quickies, he likes it to last as long as possible hehe. bless him. cant complain really but i think i have a higher sex drive than him.

Took another test Friday just for fun and it was NEGATIVE. Took 2 more and they were negative. I'm SO confused! So I had false positives all week long and all of a sudden it's gone? I'm confused...confused because still no period, now 2 days late and temp shot back up this morning but had a confusing dip in temp yesterday...I can't go for my bloodwork until Tuesday. This is horrible. All I did was cry yesterday when I should have been overjoyed. This is awful.

Oh hun. I can completely understand u being so upset. That's so confusing!

Were they the same brand of tests? Hopefully u will get answers when u have blood work done

Yes, very confusing. Ugh. I did a FRER and a Clear blue digi and a few hcg strips, internet cheapies. all were positive at the same time and then negative at same time. Don't think blood work will tell me anything good...started my period last night/this morning.

so so sorry to hear about your chemical ttc. i have no words to make you feel better other than words of encouragement and sending lots of hugs xxx

Aaaaargh my dh annoys me sometimes, I managed to get on the Paralympics site just as the athletics were released for next Saturday evening, and I wanted to go but dh was doing the whole I don't know thing because he wants day and not evening, so then I just thought forget what he says and just buy the tickets, and they had all sold out!!!

Tawn good to see you back, glad you had a lovely time with your family, and good to hear your ms isn't too bad

Bailey sorry to hear your dinner wasn't quite right, I agee with you chefs get far too carried away with the whole 'seasoning' thing

ttc I am so so sorry to hear what's happened, the same thing happened o me hun it's horrible, thinking of you

Mrs D I didn't realise you had your stitches out, that's great, well done on resisting the urge though because that's so tough to do

Oh and Tawn my appt isn't until 15th Sept, I'm so nervous because I'm really overweight at the moment so that's why I haven't bothered to go before, I already know what they will say, but regardless of my weight I still deserve to know if I have pcos or not I think, weight on on Wednesday too eek

I'm going for a pamper myself bath, I feel shattered today, I will probably pop on again later to see what you're all up to, but if I don't manage to then lovely speaking to you all again

hi thurl!! i have a question that may help. do you have regular cycles? i was convinced i had pcos last year and my doc sent me for tests but found nothing. i have a 31 day cycle on the dot and he said you can tell by it being on the dot that you dont have pcos. but if you dont know the exact date its going to come then its either affected by weight or pcos. also, women with pcos get a lot of hair growing in places they dont usually grow, like your back or stomach? they will do an internal scan of your ovaries and several blood tests. fxd you dont have cycst and you fall pg soon!

Cath, fletch you've both been very quiet this weekend I hope you are both ok xx

im here!! im great thank you

Oh and I can't join in with the love for runny eggs, I don't like eggs

i dont mind eggs but ever since i got my bfp in march, i cannot have runny egss anymore. everything has to be well done but iv started to enjoy hard yolk.. :/

Awww Amy that was nice of her, very thoughtfull""

Cheryl you went to the Hilton didnt you? Very nice, i hope you enjoyed?

Tawn! Im glad you had a lovely time with your dad, you must be exhausted now!!! Oh yes i love the poas haha!!

Shelby when will you be testing hun??

Fletch any sign of those OPKs getting darker hun?

MrsD hows things hun?

cath! i havent done an opk in a few days. fxd it darker. i dont use those 'one step' ones. i got them off ebay they are 15miu i think not sure. your test looks darker than the one the other day. keep bding every other day thats what were doing cos i dont actually mind not doing my opks i just do it to feed my addiction hahahaha!!

tawn so excited your are back!! glad you had an amazing time with family!

amy what a lovely lady! i love random acts of kindness from strangers! yay for possibly moving on the 28th!!

bailey so glad you didnt go to work today! you made me want cheese on toast hehe. 5 months will go so quick and you can be rid of that flaming cowbag

cupcake i want chocolate cake now too!! im basically doing smep but didnt know i was until i read that link. always wanted to know what it was but always forgot to look it up lol. fxd for us!!

i think iv missed out loads of people so im really sorry if i did.

afm: im fully enjoying my cycle this month. no idea why but my and dh seem to be very affectionate and cuddly for some reason. im just hoping this positivity stays and helps us to conceive. my lube came this morning and he is very excited to try it tonight haha. i know we shouldnt plan bding but it gets him in the mood and hopefully the lube will too

oh cath! the bleeding phone shop couldnt fix my phone so im buying a part from ebay and gonna try do it myself following a tutorial on youtube. cos iv read a lot of people have been doing it these days and its like 3 times cheaper. £15 for the part!! they quoted me £40 in the shop!
