May 1st Testers?

[hemmysgirl]

I'm feeling ok. CD 12 and I started feeling some cramps today as well, on both sides. I got an extremely light line on my OPK yesterday (I broke down and tested), so I know it was neg. We have started bd'ing every other day starting last night so I don't miss my window. Still trying to figure out my ovulation days and such.

HopefulKirsty, how do you watch those baby shows?! lol I'd be an emotional wreck if I did!

 

[HopefulKirsty]

I don't normally watch them but couldn't get pregnancy out of my head and I was in alone so I watched one episode on the laptop. Been so emotional since!
I too am trying to work out my cycle, no idea when I ovulate but hope I a today as it would be my best shot.
I made an appt with my doctor for friday as I have been diagnosed with eno and pcos in the past - so I really should get to a gyno and see if they can laser off some of that endo!

I've had no cramps this cycle Still baby dancing every other day

Just got done crying for 2 hours straight. I never cry when I get my period or when people announce their pregnancy, but my baby brother just told me that he's having another "oops" baby. I have no idea why I'm taking this so hard! But I am crushed. We've been trying for FOUR YEARS and in that time he's popped out two oops babies. Awesome.

You cry all you want, girl. You have every right to feel your emotions and it's better to get them all out. I'm so sorry for your disappointment.

 

[Amber_Lynn822]

Thanks ladies, I really needed the understanding. I'm still super bummed, but trying so hard to be positive. I think next month we're going to start IUI's :/

 

[TerriLou]

Hi all, I should also be testing around May 1st. I'm so impatient, its really difficult waiting isn't it? I haven't even o'd yet!!!

Hopefully we'll all have really clear fantastic BFPs eh?

Good luck and to you all.

[HopefulKirsty]

well it's been really quiet around here ther past few days - can I assume it was o time and everyone was otherwise occupied? lol

the 17 day wait is on lol

 

[hemmysgirl]

haha Kirsty, I guess we've all been "busy" lol

TerriLou--our cycles are pretty identical, as far as O time goes. I'm already looking ahead too, and I don't O for another 3 days! I've been feeling O pain since Tuesday, so I wonder how accurate the tickers are?? Or if you can feel O pain before the actual O?

Spring has sprung and I've been cleaning and taking walks...it's been great! Life looks so much better in good weather!!!

I'm feeling really frustrated today. The more I try not to think about testing, symptoms etc the more I do. The days are going so slow and with every day that passes, my hopes are raising and raising and I'm dreading being disappointed. This is only my first cycle of ttc and already i'm not sure I can handle it. God only knows how ladies who are ltttc manage when they have been trying for ages and ages.

My hat off to all you lovely, brave ladies

I feel rubbish today

 

[TerriLou]

Morning everyone,

I've never monitored like this before, but I guess because I am, I'm more aware of things. The last couple of days, I have been feeling really strange in my belly, like a pulling sort of feeling, but quite high up, so I'm sure its not from ovulation, but I really don't know.

Its quite bizarre. I am actually feeling quite confident this cycle for some reason. I know its early days, but its best to think optomistic thoughts isn't it?

Hemmysgirl, as this is the first month really recording things, I can't be 100% sure of the right ovulation date, but just keeping a close eye on things, especially temps.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Amber_Lynn822]

Any news ladies? I have cramping and lower back pains (But the pains could be because I have a UTI)

 

[hemmysgirl]

Well, I was flipping out on Sunday through today....I swear I have all the symptoms of PCOS. I've had lower ab pains, both sharp and dull, since CD 12 and it's CD 19. A good friend who has PCOS said to get checked out...my pains might be from cysts! I"ve had those pains before, but for the life of me I can't remember how long they lasted. I should've been a man, for as much as I paid attention to my body in the past!! grrr....

I've been on hormones so long, I don't remember what my cycles were like before..regular or irregular.

I'm going to temp next cycle for sure; the OPK's are driving me crazy! I haven't gotten a positive yet.

LilMiss---I totally get you. Symptom spotting is just not worth it to me and I've only done it once lol GL to you!

AND it's raining....I can't exercise outside.....to add insult to injury lol
In serious need of some cheer!

 

[TerriLou]

Hi again,

Well, I've had a rubbish few days really, I had OPKs all weekend, then my Husband went away with work Monday and Tuesday, still not had a positive OPK, but possibly won't as I've never been regular and have always beenconvinced I will have trouble catching.

I have PCOS and apparently I was told that the cysts are actual eggs that are released and then attach themselves to the ovaries and form cysts. Would have thought though that if this happened, OPK would still have shown a positive. Maybe its because I'm so irregular, it just hasn't happened yet.

Strange seeing I had the EWCM a week or so ago, but maybe I was just imagining that as my chart said I should be ovulating around then.

My temps are all over the place, so its hard to see a pattern, but it stayed the same for a couple of days and this morning its gone higher. Maybe I just need to concentrate on the next cycle and if it happens this cycle, its a huge bonus eh?

Hope you've all had more luck than me.

I make baby clothes and sell them. Last night I was sewing a little cardigan together and burst into tears. As I had made myself feel so miserable and my Husband wasn't around to chat to about it, I took a walk to the chip shop and bought a chip and cheese cob. I'm on Lighterlife, I shouldn't be eating anything like that, its like I'm punishing myself becuase I'm not pregnant! Grrrrr!!!

Why do we do these things to ourselves?

Sorry to be so long winded, just sometimes need a rant!

Thanks for 'listening'.

 

[HopefulKirsty]

sorry you're having a such a rough time
I have pcos too and although I don't know how oyu feel, I know how upset I get over it so I totally empathise with you

 

[Amber_Lynn822]

One Week Wait!!!!
Who am I kidding? I'll be testings weds morning

 

[HopefulKirsty]

I tested yesterday because I'm technically due AF on thursday. The first test i got 2 lines!!! allbeit one was very faint. I done another that was negative then this morning done another that was negative! dont know If i was imagining that second line now or if that test was just really sensitive!

 

[Amber_Lynn822]
