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

[ameeann]

aahhh stupid bodies!!! I did it twice before I finally did!! it's the best feeling in the world when you know you've done it though!! . . . i'm sure it's just round the corner hun, usually within a couple of days so keep using OPKs maybe twice a day and keep an eye out for signs!!

good luck hunny

Hi ladies!

Glad to read that everyone is doing good.

I'm a little confused... I have been having a sharp pain on and off on my lower left side for the past week and a half. Not consistently, just randomly. And my nipples have been SUPER SORE to the point that I can't even deal when the hubby touches them. And I haven't felt totally right, bloated looking and gassy (sorry tmi). Thought it was weird so I took a hpt on Tuesday morning (not with first morning urine cause I read that was bad), and negative. It was the first time I actually thought I might be preggers so it was pretty sad to see not pregnant spelled out for me. Had the pain a couple of times that day still.

Then last night I went to the bathroom and there was some brown blood on my panties, but nothing else. This afternoon same deal.

What do you ladies think about this? I'm thinking maybe ov pains and spotting. I doubt I'm pregnant cause I haven't felt anything except the sharp pains and stuff. No cramps or anything. I would be excited even to know it was just ov and that means that I'm not broken, but it's confusing since I don't know when I ov so I can't even guess how many dpo I am if it did happen.

PS: Stay positive Imsotired!

Hi girls, I've only posted once or twice in your thread but I alwasy follow it

Im so tired - how many cycles of ttc have you had? Am I right in thinking that I have read your cycles are irregular?

I came off bcp 16 months ago and have had irregular cycles since but I started temping (on my third cycle of temping) and started taking vitamin b complex and I swear these vitamins are magic! My last cycle before starting the vitamins was 51 days, it then went to 34, 35 and then this cycle will be 30 if I ov'd when I thought I did! Never had a 30 day cycle before (shortest I've had is 35 but only once before vitamins). I would definitely recommend giving them a try to try and make your cycles more regular. I was convinced I wasn't ovulating with my cycles being so long but feel much better about it all now!

Yes my cycles have been irregular since coming off of bcp. I have been actively ttc for about 4 months.I was taking bcomplex vitamins for about a month and I just recently switched to a prenatal which has all of the same ingredients plus more. I've been on the prenatal for a week or so, so that is when I stopped taking the bcomplex and zinc. I also take vitex and epo. I breifly stopped the epo when I thought I had ov'd but temp never rised(or rose). I resumed taking it yesterday. I am pretty sure I have been ovulating, just not at a reasonable time- making some of my cycles pretty long. I ovulated last cycle at about cd58 or so but it was ovulation just the same. It was confirmed with bloodwork and a temp rise. I thank you for the suggestion however. This morning I had a bit of ewcm(slightly less stretchy). I'm getting a bit confused. I will take 2 opks today and keep checking my cm. I suppose maybe my body is going to have another go at ov. FX it actually happens this time. I better get bd'ing.

Hi ladies - Happy Weekend!!!!

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you all, have been major busy but will reply properly at some point this weekend.

Big hugs

 

[cmarie33]

Good to hear from you sparkle!

MrsJsH what cd are you on? xxx

 

[Sparkle12]

Hi ladies,

Well its been a lovely weekend - we did lots of walking (via a few pubs) and had a meal at home together. Been great. BUT on the negative side Ov day is due Thurs, so not good as he is away all week.

SO I have a plan - we Bd yest night, have set the alarm early tom so we can before he goes. He is then going to drive back Wed so we can wed pm and very early Thirs (I know this mean less that 24hrs so sperm won't have as much time to 'replenish' but I think some is better than none. We eill then Bd Fri when he gets back. I know this is TMI but do you think we will still stand a chance?

I'm only stressing because it is the last month before we have to stop and I know we will both be totally gutted if we don;t succeed.

How is everyone else doing?

Lots of hugs to you all. xxx

 

[ameeann]

yes!!! by the sounds of it, you have a very good chance lovely

yay!!! good luck hun

 

[ImSoTired]

I am waiting to ov.

[cmarie33]

That sounds like a plan sparkle! Gl to you xxx

 

[ImSoTired]

Just got another pos opk ladies! Bd for me tonight!FX

 

[Sparkle12]

GL ImSoTired.

I never get lines on those OPK things. not even faint ones. Last month was the first time I gor a line and it was there at 10am and gone by 2pm so I think I must miss it and have a really short surge.

DH on his way home for 'mid week visit!'!!!!!

Hugs to all.

 

[cmarie33]

Hehe fingers crossed and sparkle! Have fun!

 

[Sparkle12]

Hi All,
plan actioned!!!! Got as much of a line as I ever get on OPK (I must have a really low amount of hormone) so f'xg we got that egg. Might BD tom when he gets home as well just in case!!!

BTW random question - what's the deal with exercise and TTC? I was at Zumba tonight bouncing around and suddendly stopped! Wondered if I had killed of any sperm that were alive by bouncing their heads against walls of cervix (giving them concussion at the very least) or jigged them out of place. Am I thinking too much??????!!!!!

TTC turning my crzy this month - thank god its the last one for a year or they'd be locking me up!

Any news?

Big hugs

 

[ameeann]

deffo bd tomorrow sparkle!! hehe lets hope you catch that eggy!!


and exercise is totally fine while ttc, i think . . . i never changed anything :S haha


not much news here impatiently waiting for my scan to hurry up and get here . . . come on 9th of feb

 

[ImSoTired]

I got another pos opk today. That's 3 in a row. Hoping everything is ok and that there isn't anything wrong with me. Bd'd fri, sat, sun, tues, and gonna try for tonight.

 

[cmarie33]

Afm... Oh got a letter through the post this morning saying he isn't entitled to job seekers! How does that bloody work?! So I'm currently stressing wondering how we'll
Pay the mortgage etc! xxx

 

[ameeann]

nope he won't be, because your on more of a wage than is stated by the government that you need to live on!
we were the same, because I was my mums carer paul couldn't claim job seekers, but was still expected to sign on!!!


and IMsotired . . . women have different lengths of LH surges, I'm sure theres nothing wrong any more positive opks??
