Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[Hoping girl 2]

So depressed. Tried the whole 'not stressing about it' business. On holiday visiting my family so that helped with not obsessing. Cut out cp and cm checking, stuck with opk and temp taking. Awful cramps on Saturday and positive opk so bdanced that night, next morning and evening to try and catch the egg as last time I ovulated day after positive opk. My opk on Sunday was negative so was sure I'd caught it. But no. No temp spike today so obviously didn't ovulate. The one month I don't stress and my body doesn't work as it should???? Not fair! Why does everything I try go so wrong?? I know I might o today so will keep bdancing but worried that dh will have a low count as we did it so much yesterday I feel useless

You'll be ok. Swimmers can last up to five days in there... Xxx

Being told things like "You'll understand when you have a baby", etc, makes my blood boil and me not want to see you.

I understand how this line feels. Recently one of my friend had a baby after 2 years of trying, now she is throwing it in my face by saying this statement everytime!!

I feel like smacking her face!!!

Hi and welcome!!! Are you temping or using opks? It's hard to know when you'll ovulate otherwise, or at least I found it hard. I was temping from cycle one and only then I found out I actually ovulate relatively early (at least before my cycle changed). Now I use opks I can also predict web I ovulate.

Now, having said that, as i understand it your LP should normally be around 12-14 days after ovulating, so you can kind of calculate it from then (eg if your cycle usually lasts 32 days you should be ovulating around 12-14 days before the end day). But it's not very accurate so i would suggest temping or using opks.

Good luck!

Good news: AF arrived right on time this month without missing a beat.
Bad news: Cramps were so bad it took a good 5 minutes before I could even get out of bed and then crawled to the bathroom, took 2 acetominophines and then waited on the floor for 10 minutes before they kicked in before I could continue to do my morning routine. This is the second month in a row this happens.

I'm so sorry. Did the drug work? I take mefanamic acid when I have cramps..

Yea always works, it's just the waiting part for it to kick in that is the killer part.

I hate how that even though dh's SA came back with zero I still look at each month as an opportunity. I can't seem to get over that it will never happen without medical intervention. I hate that on tv everyone is having babies. I hate that I have to fight to not cry so that my dh won't be upset. I hate that all kinds of ppl I know are getting bfp without even trying or planning.

Holy crap..I've only heard of the saying "cramps are so bad I feel like I'm going to barf" but it's the first time it actually happened to me this morning by legit barfing. Went to go take an extra pill and it barely touched my gag reflex and all of my breakfast came back up. I'm now typing this with 4 acetominophines and 1 excedrine for migraine in me to finally be able to breath. This is nuts, going to see an obgyn about this this month. There has to be a reason I've had such deadly cramps out of nowhere these past few months.

so upset... Meant to ovulate on Sunday but didn't get temp spike water day so hoped to ovulate yesterday and get temp spike today. Went to bed a bit anxious at around midnight and when dh went to the toilet at 3:30am I instantly woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. So decided to temp then even though I only had three hours sleep and woke up two and a Half hours earlier than usual. It was 36.47. (Pre o temp is 36.41). Stayed up reading and took temp again nearer to normal time just for the sake of it (I hadn't moved at all just laid there) and it was 36.66. Then fell asleep at 5 and woke up at 7:30 (an hour and a half later than usual and after only two and a half hours sleep) and it was 37.1. Obviously wishing that last temp is my temp as I have never had one so high before but truth is, can't even know whether I got my temp spike or not... How can I know if I o'ed yesterday????? . Can't believe I can't even manage to sleep properly in this whole ttc business
