Hello everyone. I've not felt up to posting for a while now.
This month it will be a year since my MC. I'm hoping that this might be my month. fingers crossed. Hope we DTD at appropriate times by luck as I have decided to shun all counting etc and no pissing on sticks etc. It's spring and I hope my baby blooms with the daffodils!

Cd 4 seems early to get pos opk. Would say one line is fainter so would maybe keep going. When do you think you normally ov? Think i m about cd 17.

Sorry I posted and ran earlier, was running late for work.
I tested positive today at 10dpo.
I started with a major skin break out on sunday and I never get spots.
felt what I can only describe as a bubbly sensation in my tummy, minor cramping, did a test bfn.
Monday same only I was shattered all day and first thing I wiped away very pale pink cm .very very faint line but think it may have been an evaporation line
Tuesday even more tired and boobs started to hurt. did a test in the morning and night haha BFN
Woke this morning at 4am for toilet, not me at all, did a test but was so tired I fell asleep before I had a chance to check it haha
Woke at 7 and thought it was an evaporation line so did another one, boobs killing. Pink line started to show almost straightaway!
been starving all day, having that yucky taste in my mouth, cant stop peeing and my tummy feels, well it feels heavy and boobs very sore. I am shattered too.
Just crossing my fingers it sticks and goes all the way this time.
What did I do different?
Well I have several feng shui elephants dotted round the house for fertility haha
But I also used preseed the two days prior to O and during and after this time.
I also banned my partner from alcohol, not that he is a big drinker, but he does like to have a wine or two on a weekend.
I fell last time I used preseed too, but miscarried at ten weeks.
I used it this time as doctor seemed to think problem may have been lying with my partner so thought his swimmers might need a helping hand to swim faster. I also stopped making him 'perform' every day too and just did every other day until I got positive opk
Nervous as hell now....

Cd4 ladies - could be a dodgy batch

your line needs to be as dark as or darker than control line, unlike a hpt.
I usually find my line gets darker and darker and I can start with a faint line from cd 5/6 . It just means your body is producing more of the hormone ready for ovulation... I think? x

Fiona, looks neg to me.

Crazy, when. Got PG last aug my DH and I DTD every other day on run up to OV and the same again this time.

We always used to ever day in past and catch straight away, but he is getting older too and I thought those little needed more time to recover their strength and it seemed to work.

Creative, glad you have come back to us

Hi ladies, so sorry I went awol, my phone decided to go ca put and I had to wait for the insurance to be sorted to get another sent out to me, would you believe we'd just lent our lap top to my mother in law for a few days too! So I couldn't get on Thank you for worrying about me xxx got a new phone now I'm still feeling very rough after two days where my symptoms disappeared and scared the life out of me, now I wish I'd made the most of it lol. Have an app with a specialist tomorrow at 3 for an informal chat and maybe a scan. Hope everyone is ok, missed you all xxx

Thank you Lisa, I know I could see from your posts you were worried, thank you xxxx I hated having no internet, that was the worse time to lend out our lap top lol. My symptoms came back slightly different, very strange! Xxxx

I am still having sickness, though not as bad as it was, heaved a couple of times this morning, then had to run to toilet mid morning to heave again!

Sickness peaks at 9-10 weeks so I might be over the worst of it!

Still feeling tired though. Plus my boobs have got bigger too! I also have increased cm. not peeing so often, but that is normal at this stage.

Still just taking one day at a time.

 

[josie1234]

Hi becks glad you are ok. Good luck for the scan. Hi Lisa hope things settle down soon for you. I am now CD 18. Temps dont seem as erratic as last month but i did have a cold for some of it. Will try and upload opk that i ve just done. Hope you all have a good day xx

 

[josie1234]

I would be so lost without internet. How did we manage years ago without internet and phones?

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Joxxxxx

Lisa I'm the same, only up once or twice in the night to wee instead of 4! The nausea comes and goes, worse sometimes than others, I now have a constant indigestion type pain, like really bad hunger pains, but no matter what I eat it doesn't go had it the whole 9 months with ds and it's probably my worst symptom, also still have wet cm, stuffed nose, constant mild headache and massive mood swings, oh the joys of first trimester lol. But me too, never take anything for granted, one day at a time. Not sure if the specialist will scan me tomorrow we shall see xxx

 

[josie1234]

Becks, Fingers crossed tomorrow that your mind is put at rest. Let us know how you get on. Here's my opk today, i've used all my digis up lol. It was neg yesterday anyway so only had the day before with smiley face.

Not sure if still positive, but better DTD to be on safe side! Yo could well see a temp drop tomorrow or day after, that will be day of OV then look out for temp rise to confirm it!

 

[Oasis717]

I agree not quite positive and best to bd just in case! I'm not sure if this is tmi! But I think one thing that's helped me get pregnant quite quickly each time is to achieve orgasm straight after dh has, the contractions of the orgasm pull the sperm up higher giving a much better chance, I'm almost sure this is what aided us in getting pregnant, I'd share anything if I thought it might help! xxxx
