Jump on in - you are very welcome! You and your hubby look so cute in your picture bless!

How long have you been ttc? Are these your first lot of tests?

Thanks! Had my implant out 1st November last year, and yes, these are my first tests, quite nervous!

Exciting! Fingers crossed, don't be nervous about the tests or anything, it's all a step in the right direction xxxx

Wowww ladies our team is so big and growing day by day, welcome to all our new ladies

I've been so busy lately and still haven't managed to catch up with everything.

So I'm cycle day 24 of a 28 day cycle and I don't know what's happening crosshairs on FF say I OV on day 17 but I believe it was quite early this time and was actually day 13 - I had pos Opk's, high temp and OV pain likenive never had before, but this time there has been no spotting since !! Usually I have brown/pink smudges for the whole TWW or until AF shows but not a thing this time, I have caved and tested twice ... Both BFN but I still have no AF symptoms, which I always get, fingers crossed its because there's a BFP waiting, but I'm gunna wait now till Tuesday and see what happens I don't want to get my hopes up

How's everyone else doing, JoB how are you I've missed you xxxx

Hey ladies Im excited to say that I finally got up the nerve to talk to my doctor today about our TTC journey .. I was kind of forced to make an appointment today when I started feeling very ill before lunch (I still went I needed my sushi) Some of the things that I thought might have been pregnancy symtoms are still there and they are testing me for a kidney infection But on the plus side my doctor was very supportive and is getting the ball rolling with a physical (yikes) and shes sending me for a pelvic ultrasound just to see if theres anything wrong! That way if we end up hitting our year mark I can go to a FS right away! I love my doctor!
I was just curious my cousins told me she had to be on clomid.. if they find somthing in the ultra sound can my dr percribe me that or does the FS have to?
I asked OH tonight if his ex wife had PCOS because they had a really hard time and she had PCOS.. but he got her preg 3 times but they all ended in miscaraiges. So I dont think there was a problem with him? Although that was years ago

Hey Jo xxxxx

Missed you too hun! It sounds like you've got something to get a little hopeful about this cycle! Not meaning to encourage you with getting too excited, but it sounds really promising! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if you got your bfp! I would defo start making you one of my baby blankets to post up to you

I'm good ta, really going for it this month! Let's hope we both finally get our long awaited sticky beans! But if not, we always have next month and we can pick eachother up and go for it again!

Nice to *see* you xxx

 

[Jo_Bean]

Magan, that's really good news about your doctor, they sound lovely!

Let's hope that they can just confirm that nothing is wrong and maybe they just need to tell you that for it to happen xxx

I'm afraid I don't know anything about clomid Never discussed it with my doc, sorry!

 

[Magan85]

Thanks Jo Bean! And yes it will be good news to hear if nothing is wrong as ive always feared it. Im doing well with not going crazy so far!! Im proud of myself haha

 

[AmberDW]

Would love to join...i stalked ur guys other thread but only posted maybe once..i just found out im pregnant a week ago and a bit worried about my weight. I had a miscarriage in december and just hope weight didnt have anything to do with it. Im not sure how far along i am now but going off my last period im almost 6 weeks

 

[cravemyheart]

No shot for dear fiancé this month. The money is needed elsewhere. But I'm pretty sure I Od today. My cp was high soft and open and I have ewcm. So we dtd. This is really early in my cycle though. But maybe that's why I haven't had any luck yet. Wish me luck.

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I successfully ovulated EARLY with my first time taking Evening Primrose Oil. From cd 1 to ovulation, I took 2,000 mg (2 soft gells) a day, one first thing in the morning and one before bed. I have 35 day cycles, in which I usually O on cd 22c and this month with the EPO I O'd on CD 17 or 18 (not temping because it stresses me out). So for any ladies who have long and/or irregular periods this might be something for you too look into, it also increased my CM, I usually never have CM but with EPO i did notice some CM, it wasnt alot but definately there, and I BD with Preseed to suffice for anything more I would need in terms of CM. The funny thing is when I researched EPO alot of women said that it took 2 or 3 months before they noticed any difference, and surprisingly, I O'd early during my first cycle of intake!!!

Hope this helped someone!!!! Good luck!!! Im officailly 1 dpo so fx'd for a this month!!!

 

[Jo_Bean]

Good for you petesgirl!!!
Fx'd and xxx

That's good that the docs are starting to look into things though. Fx'd you won't need their help!

[bbbunny]

Hey ladies

Whew what a weekend!! Ovulation calcualtors had me as ovulating Saturday. Was focused on it all week then when Saturday rolled around we were really busy doing heavy garden work all day and I was so tired I cheated on my healthy eating plan and ordered pizza so I didn't have to cook. After we stuffed our faces we settled down really tired and bloated when suddenly I remembered it was O day!! Because I was just so exhauseted I made the mistake of suggesting to hubby that we just do a quick one because neither of us were in the mood I think he thought that I just wanted to get it over and done with so of course we argued and ended up not DTD at all
Made up for it today but I am worried we missed that O. I don't hold too much weight with what these calculators say but we shall see.

I other news garden is starting to look so much better I can actually picture us out there in the summer having a BBQ or something


Hope everyone is doing great

Erg! I had a nice long response typed up for all the stuff I had missed and my computer crashed and ate it I guess I'll just give an update and go from there. Oh technology, why do we have to have such a love and hate relationship?

Over the weekend I found out someone else is pregnant. This girl is only 19 and has so many problems! She is bipolar (on meds, but they are clearly not helping), she tried to kill herself a couple months ago because she got into an argument with her husband about doing the dishes (seriously, what the hell?). She had her infant son right next to her in the bedroom while she started downing pills! Her husband and her have such a toxic relationship, they really shouldn't even have the one child they do have. They are constantly breaking up and getting back together, it's so ridiculous! Her husband is a friend of my sister in laws and they stayed with my inlaws for awhile so that is how I know them. I would never call them friends of mine, that's for sure! I hate to be so judgemental, but it is really hard not to be in this situation. I really don't think they deserve even one baby and here they are pregnant with number two! They were trying apparently (even though she just tried to kill herself) and they are broken up yet again! Ughh! This stresses me out so much. Sorry it's such a long rant, but I just needed to get it out.

Now about me, today is CD1 again. I took fertilaid all cycle and I o'd normal and had a 13 day luteal phase so that put me right back where I should've been unlike last cycle, but still no baby for me! I had been feeling pre AF cramping the last 2 days so I knew she was on her way, plus my temp was dropping the last couple days too. I talked with hubby and I'm going to go in to my doctor and talk to them about trying to conceive. I don't like doctors and try to avoid them (haven't been in years, I know, I'm bad!). We're pretty close to 8 months now so we can hopefully get some preliminary stuff out of the way and if nothing happens by a year we can get referred to a specialist. I don't want something to be wrong obviously, but if there is I just want them to find it and fix it.

Since the computer ate my responses I'll just respond to the last page here.

petesgirl- I've considered taking EPO, but I've been taking fertilecm instead. I'm going to give it another month and see since I have seen postive changes. Glad to hear it helped you so quickly! I didn't know it helped you O earlier though. Is it supposed to do that? I just knew about it helping with CM.

kezza- Of course you can join! Welcome Good for you for going ot the docs. I need to get there myself! Hopefully they find some answers for you soon.

ttc_num1 - Hi welcome to the boards and the thread! Hopefully you get your BFP real fast!

bbbunny- Hey there! Those ovulation calculators aren't very accurate in my experience, but if it is accurate for you then hopefully you got to DTD a few days before as well. According to data on fertility friend most women get pregnant from DTD 1 to 2 days before ovulation and not on the day of ovulation itself. Sorry to hear you and the OH had a bad fight though. It can be so hard to get the BD in that we need to when we're tired, I know it all too well! Also, glad to hear that all your hard work out in the garden is paying off. My backyard is starting to look like a jungle. Hubby hasn't mowed it at all since last fall and now that it's warmer it's starting to grow again. Hopefully he'll do it tomorrow, lol.

Alright, hope all you curvy ladies are doing well. Had a long day today being in horrible pain curled in the fetal position on the couch so I guess I'll be off to bed soon. Anyone else get really bad AF cramps take anything that helps for it? I just sit here with a heating pad on so high I start to burn my skin a bit. It's the only thing that seems to help!
