TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Mama I got a load of EWCM at day 12 and and then no more until around day 18 I think then I ov on day 23. I think issacRalph said that if you have PCOS you can have irratic EWCM even if you aren't ov. But what it does mean us that your body is gearing up to it so hopefully it will happen at some point in the next 2 weeks. I also get very faint opks for about 10 days before the positive but hang in there and it will happen! Sounding very promising!

Hey ladies

Was meant to hold of POAS still Friday but couldn't resist and did it this morning

am 10dpo and is due tomorrow evening.

Just devestated, did everything right this cycle, relaxed way more, did loads of Bding and at the right time just gutted, I know everyone says I'm not out till the witch gets me, but I know she's on her way, if a fert egg didn't implant by now and she due tomorrow it never gonna happen plus I just knew last night before I even planned on taking the test that she was enroute

Super sad

I didn't my BFP till 7 days late and 21-22 DPO hang in there it may still happen!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Morning everyone!

Banana - sorry about the bfn Hun but it is still early. I remember Holly was sure he was pregnant and took the test on like the day of or day before AF and got a bfn. She was so upset then the next day she got the bfp. So you never know!

Hann - yay for your fertility apt! But hopefully u won't need it! Chart still looking great! And nice to have that ff assurance that you dtd right this cycle hehe

Isaac - hope you're feeling better today! And yay for the opks! Hope you get your positive today! Did you get to bd? Get busy girl and get that bfp!

Afm - got some really stretchy Ewcm yesterday but barely the faintest line on opk. Do you guys typically see Ewcm before + opk? A bit stressed not knowing what to expect over here...thus is my ttc life! My friend having twins just found out yesterday it's 2 boys! That was fun news

Yeah mama cm can be a bit erratic if you've got pcos, theory being you have more follicles secreting estrogen which gives you the ewcm! BUT & that's a big but I always get it before ovulation. I don't always put in on my chart as I also do a lot of bding around that time which can also look like ewcm. I think you said before that you BD often,so anyways you're covered! Just try & relax as even ov watch can be very stressful! I have gone completly the other way this month & just done one a day, will do another later to see if its + x

 

[elt1013]

Well hello ladies...

Hann-your chart is looking good, and I am keep my fx for you that the b vits did the trick on your lp! It looks like you were on point with bding, so you have your bases covered and can't do any more but wait!

banana-like the other ladies said, you can still get your bfp..we have all seen it many times before.

AFM, My back is feeling somewhat better, and we were able to bd last night(I just made him do all the work, hehe). But, I am getting really irritated with these ic opks...I usually atleast get a hint of a line by now and they are still completely stark white! I am probably just worrying too early, but my temps also have me somewhat worried. I didn't sleep well for a couple nights because of my back, so I discarded those temps, but now I am second guessing myself about those temps, like well maybe I already ovulated and we missed it, since we didn't bd for several days because of my back. I know I am probably just driving myself crazy and everything will probably be right on track like it always is, but I just can't get it out of my head. I guess all I can do is wait also and see how the opks and temps go the next couple days!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey elt! Try not to get yourself stressed out over waiting to ovulate, I know its hard! Just keep on checking opk's & BD everywhere day,i'm sure you will see a + soon! Sometimes I've had stark white to +ve the very next day. Try not to expect things to happen the same every month, I have a few times! Especially when I got a run of about 4 months of + opk on cd 12 last year! I wasn't trying then but using them to avoid pregnancy! Mine differs every month now! My opk is still not +ve but probably will be tomorrow. Dh birthday on sat so have bought him (me) a slinky black number to get him in the mood! He he. So glad your back is better Xx

 

[Hann12]

Elt I have gone from completely white to positive within 24 hours - last cycle that happened to me. I'm sure you haven't missed your shot!

Off to the dr this morning to try and get a '21 day' progesterone test to see if it's improved at all this month. I hope so! Its just annoying that I probably won't get the results until next week by which point I'll prob have AF! Ah well at least I'll know of my level has increased anyway.
Woke up this morning and felt exhausted, my temp is up a bit but I did have a glass of wine last night - sometimes that affects my temp and sometimes it doesn't. I prob shouldn't have had it but I figured that if I end up pregnant next week I'll be pleased I had a glass of wine when I could!!

 

[Hann12]

Bloods have been taken, he said the results may come back tomorrow so I'll call in the afternoon, otherwise just have to wait until Monday. He was moderately less rubbish today, he actuallyseemed to get that with not a lot of progesterone I couldn't get pregnant - last time he shrugged me off!

 

[Hann12]

Any positive opks this morning?

Banana - any news? Thinking of you!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Banana - any news? Thinking of you!

Oh me me me! Just got bfp opk, Yippee cd 14 too! Do you guys think it will be ok to wait untold tonight then Bd Fri & sat?? Me & dh both at work today, boo!

Exciting!! Yes I should think its totally fine, we can only ever BD in the evening, I'm sure that's the case for most people. Did you bd last night? In theory the egg should be released by tomorrow night so by bd tonight and tomorrow there should def catch the egg!

 

[banana07]

Any positive opks this morning?

Banana - any news? Thinking of you!

Hey Hann. No news really still really pissed off at the whole thing. Just sitting here patiently waiting on the She is only a matter of hours away by the way I'm feeling 99% sure she'll be here by tea time.

I know its not like I've mc or anything but I am just totally and utterly gutted

 

[Hann12]

I'm sorry banana, hope you are wrong but if you aren't

 

[elt1013]

Banana - any news? Thinking of you!

Oh me me me! Just got bfp opk, Yippee cd 14 too! Do you guys think it will be ok to wait untold tonight then Bd Fri & sat?? Me & dh both at work today, boo!

I am totally jealous!! Get your bd on tonight girl.

Hann-I can't wait to to hear your results tmrw...keep us updated.

banana-Hope AF stays away! I know how you are feeling, but just remember, if she comes, a new month means a fresh cycle and another chance! When I get really down, I read some of the stories on here about women who were trying for years without success, then finally get their BFP. Or read about some who don't ovulate regularly and have really long cycles that get theirs. That is one thing we can be thankful for...regular cycles and ovulating on our own! It will happen when it is meant to, so keep your head up girl! All we can do is give ourselves the best chance possible and it will all be worth it when we see that BFP!

AFM...I am still waiting to ovulate and all stark white opks. I have been doing them 3 times a day now, so I don't miss it! I am not relying solely on those though because lasy cycle they were stark white the whole cycle (not even a hint of a line). Weird tho...as I wouldn't think that B vits could interfere with the results, but before them, I always got positives, and since them all stark white??? Anyone heard about anyone else on B vits having this problem?

 

[Hann12]

Elt - did you do the opks frequently last cycle? I know you are doing 3 times a day now but is it possible you missed it last time because you only did it once a day? I know you have said before that you struggle getting dark positives and peaks on the cbfm so maybe you just don't get positives. I wa reading a website where a fertility consultant was commenting about using opks and he said that some women never get opk positives. You definitely got a temperature shift didn't you? If your worried get your dr to do the 21 day progesterone test to see if you ovulate - though as you know the results I have says I didn't but I actually do, so the results can be temperamental!

I always do them like 3 times a day around ovulation, so I shouln't have missed it. I do get a temp shift, so I'm not really worried as I know I ovulate. Maybe I am just one of those people that doesn't get positives. I did get near positives with the Answer brand opks (which I just counted as my positives), so maybe I just have to go back to those and see if they still work for me. I gave up on the CBFM because I was spending alot of money with no peaks after 4 cycles. I am not concerned about not ovulating...but it just makes it so much easier to see it coming with the opks. Oh well, I know around when ov happens, so we will just have to bd alot around that time!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey girls!

Banana - hang in there babe. I know it must be so frustrating every time AF shows up month after month. Getting hopes up and then let down try to stay positive. A new month a new chance! It could be worse...I've been ttc for 4 months now and have yet to ovulate and actually have a shot at it hang in there babe, we all have our struggles on this journey but we all have each other too...we're here for you and we understand the disappointment you're feeling.

Hann - yay for the test! Hope you get the results soon and all good news keep us posted! and thanks for the words of encouragement

Isaac - Hooray for the + OPK! And oo lala for your little birthday surprise hehe that should help the months bd efforts along go get that eggy!!!

Elt - glad your back is feeling better...hope it's all the way back to normal soon

So totally OPK fail for me today...I peed in the cup and was all ready to do the test, opened the box and....Ooops...it was an old test from last month! Lol I'd tossed the box in the bag with the new ones after taking it since I was at work and didn't want to leave the used test in the trash where my boss may see it. Thus, no OPK for me yet today. I've felt rather warm today I've noticed....do you guys ever feel the temp rise like that? Not sure if the temp shift is something you can feel like that? I didn't OPK yesterday but we did BD so if I had gotten my + OPK yesterday I'm covered. Probably all wishful thinking...oh well, I'll test this evening.

 

[banana07]

Thanks mamamac - I do know it could be a hell of alot worse - I'm only cycle 2 and so far everthing running like clockwork - I'll be grand in a day or so. Was the same last month depressed and gutted for a couple of days then bang grand again and planning the next cycle... What CD are you now??? Hope you Ov soon fx for you!!!

Well done Issac - go get that eggy!!!

What CD are you elt - when do you usually ov?

Hann - sorry I'm sure you've mentioned and I've read it but wee bit consumed in myself last day or so - what tests do you have tomorrow??? Is it this day 21 test??

I was thinking of going to doc tomorrow (most likely CD1) and asking him to do them. What made you think you had low prog in the first place - is it something to do with the short lp???

Still waiting here impatiently for AF but she is there I can totally feel her

Worst thing is even if she doesn't show today I'm not technically late as I'm only 11dpo but she came on 11dpo last month (first proper cycle after mirena coil) but maybe that month was just early and I've another couple of days of the dreaded 2ww. Have really really watery cm - which apparently means AF is enroute and its clearing the way for her...

Think I'll just head to bed now (9.30pm for all those -6 GMT!! - I'm not a total dosser!!) and hopefully she will be here in the morning and I can sulk properly!!!

 

[banana07]

Hey Hann - just on another site (looking to find out where AF is - she's only 2 hours late!!!). Anyway stumbled onto a thread and the girls ended up talking about low progesterone and they said they had to take their supplements through the 1st Trimester to make sure the egg stayed put - not sure if you knew this or not but if your going to doc tomorrow shurly he'll tell you or you can say it to him - Don't forget to ask him about the quantities of the B6 I posted a link a wee while back that said too much of it can cause extra cells in the baby....

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey mama & elt, hang in there girls hopefully you'll get your +opks soon! If not elt then at least your sure that you do ovulate with your temps
Mama- I can usually tell I've ovulated about 2 days after when I Feel noticeably warmer & ever so slightly different in temperament!

Banana- we all know how you Feel, if AF comes you'll be sad all of a day but I always Feel better when I see cd 1 come, much better than just waiting for AF to start. Good news if your LP is longer this month

Han- glad your Dr was a bit better today & agreed to do your bloods, they should be good this time around, fx'd

Afm- early bday treat for hubby tonight, lingerie, candles & music & wait for it sex toys, he he! hope his little swimmers can catch that eggy

CD 14 for me...last ovulation was cd15 (but the ones before b vits were around cd17). Maybe I will just be a little later this cycle. I just hope my LP stays atleast 11 days!
