Not Knowing Whether I'm Ovulating or Not is so Frustrating :'(

[cmarie33]

No!! Not had anything like them today thankfully. And I'm feeling sick so that's a good sign. Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. I'm just worried it could be an ectopic pregnancy now although the cramps arent always in the same place xx

 

[cmarie33]

And I was doubled over in pain with them, sweating and everything! Wonder if I've just got a pathetically low pain threshold?! Xx

Are you ok now hon? Try not to stess - I am sure it will all be ok. My thoughts are with you. Its good that the doctor confirmed your pg!!!

Ameeann - poor lass, I am sure the tiredness will go soon (and tehn come back in full force in about 7 months) How is everything else going?

ImSoTired - fingers crossed for you positive OPK. I temped this month for the first time and I think I get it a bot more now. Although I am like you and don't sleep very week, especially during week when DH is away.

AFM - I am a little bit down today. It has been brilliant having DH home for 10 days but now he is gone again and we're back to just weekends. Boo hoo.
I really thought that we had done everything right this month and wld get a positive but have done another test today and BFN ( I know its only 10DPO but others have theirs show up this early!!) I guess I am being impatient.
Also next month is our last month trying and I think I will Ov in the week so it;ll be a wasted month anyway. Then I will have to wit for at least a year - so i am just a little down right now. It does cheer me up chatting to you ladies though as DH is not around and it is really hard to talk about on the phone. I really need to get myself sorted out (oh the self pity - I annoy myself!!!)

Sorry - Hope everyone is good. Big hugs

People haven't got bfps until a couple of weeks after af is due! You're not out yet! why are you stopping trying? Will you go NTNP?

I'm ok now. Been reading things and concluded that it was probably trapped wind after a curry last night! well that's the preferred diagnosis anyway! Lol! Back to work tomorrow so that'll keep me busy.

I think if it were ectopic hun then the pains wouldn't have gone away if they doubled you up, because sudden sharp pains that double you up usually mean it's ruptured (I think) so I think you would know by now hopefully you just needed to *ahem* flatulate


Sparkle - I completely understand why you're down, I was like that when OH was at uni, I hated only seeing him twice a week how come you only have a month sweet?? is it because of your job did you say?
as cmarie said some women on here don't get a bfp til 18dpo! lol plenty of time yet! sometimes you don't even implant til 10dpo! so if that were the case, the earliest you would get a bfp would be 14dpo

AFM - I'm racing for 12 weeks when hopefully this tiredness will disappear! other than that, my boobs have become fuller (I can see new bras around the corner tbh, I'm already quite big but atm I'm bursting ) a little but more tender to touch and sensitive nipples, I don't really have much else, occasional waves of nausea, but nothing to complain of too much, as of yet


hope you feel better soon!

I'm having cramps lower back ache. I ovulated Friday. Have never had cramps like this before hope this is a good sign!

 

[cmarie33]

Mrs Martinez they sound like ovulation cramps. Gl xx

 

[ImSoTired]

I temped this morn and it was a tad bit higher. Not much. But I also haven't temped since fri or sat. I'm hoping now that we're back to our norm schedules it will get easier. I was having a lotiony kind of cm but none so far this morning, but it is very early yet. I have been having very mild cramping the last few days and I hope it is a precursor to ov. Today is cd14 and I'm going to use an opk the next time I need to pee. I hope I am just having ov symptoms early and I ov within the nest few days. I REALLY do not want another long cycle! Keep your fx for me girls, one for my ov soon and one for my bfp shortly after! Hope you are all doing well!

 

[ameeann]

Fo you use fertility friend or anything to record your temps? X

 

[ImSoTired]

yes I just recently started using FF but I don't know how accurate it will be for me with my crazy long cycles (if I have another) and difficulty temping.

 

[ameeann]

When i get on my computer ill send you a link to mine! I didnt ovulate til cd 30 and i had difficulty temping, i just used the website i sent you the other day! Worked fine for me!

 

[ImSoTired]

What do you think I should do? Go back and correct the temps? or jst use it from now on when I temp late? I babysit and have to wake up early 3 times a week but the rest of the week I wake up at 7 (occasionally a bit later on wkends but I can def wake up at 7). So confused! I am terrified of having another long cycle and I'm really afraid that the tempong may cause stress if I don't ov at a normal time.

 

[ameeann]

Ye id maybe go back and change your temps! Hmm well i guess it could cause added stress but if you try not o worry about it too much just take it note it down and not think too much about it, then it should be ok, once you get used to it it isnt too stressful just knowing your eventually ovulating should relieve some street for you though shouldnt it? I know it did for mme! Lol

 

[ImSoTired]

I guess but I just wouldn't be able to stand it if I ov on cd58 again! That is soooo long to wait!

 

[ameeann]

I suppose! I was like that! But on the plus side atleast you would know when/if you ovulated! Because with having long cycles its kinda a guessing game isnt it really!

 

[cmarie33]

Fingers crossed for ov soon ImSoTired xx

 

[ImSoTired]

Thanks girls. I just took an opk and it was neg. So It's def not gonna be a 28 day cycle. I'm still hoping for a cycle in the low to mid 30s which would make me ov within the next week. I feel so desperate sometimes. It is very difficult. I just hope that I can continue to feel better and regulate. Thanks for the support. Please keep your fx for me! How are you ladies doing?

Did you manage to call the midwife today Cmarie? ow was school?

We are stopping TTC as DH lives away and I am going to hopefully apply for jobs where he is. Being a teacher we worked out that if we concieve this month or next I could leave on Maternity from my school at the beginning of September and then apply for jobs when I am living there and just not go back to my current school.
Trying to look for schools and do interviews is a nightmare with a full timetable. If we don't manage to concieve it will be Easter or September before I find a new post and then I would have to do a year in role before we could TTC again!!!! NIGHTMARE. I guess maybe we are putting a little too much pressure on - I just really want everything to work out.

Ameeann - isn't seperation a nightmare. We did it through uni too and then I lived abroad for a year!! At least we are closer now but it doesn't make it any easier. I enjoyed the holidays so much and now the house is all empty again.

ImSoTIred - Any news on the OPKs? It is so rubbish waiting. I just starting temping too and Ithink some of my early ones were a bit out. I also just stated the 20 lesson course on FF so I could learn more. They send it to your email daily and it is really interesting and has givem ne a much better insight into all the hormones and signs your body give you. Its in the Education section if you are interested.

Anyone else got any news?

Thanks again for being so supportive. x
