TTC just off the pill buddies

[Caroline:-)]

Hi girls!
Well, I tested today and BFN
But, I am still only 11DPO so I'm not out yet! Last month my LP was only 11 days, sooo, if this month is the same, AF should be due tomorrow... But not sign yet... no spotting of cramps in the last couple of days - both of which I have had both months since I came off bcp... But who bl00dy knows after BCP, hey?!?!? It could come without warning, or could be later this month
But, I have to say, if I don't get a BFP this time, there is no way I'm taking any notice of any 'symptoms' next time!!!! I seem to have had loads of 'symptoms' - none of them really terrible - but definately there!!!! So if they're not real, it shows that BCP really can casue ANY symptom!!!
So, I've been getting headaches, feeling a bit sick, having cramping (in different spots some sharp some dull aches) since 5DPO, getting emotional and crying over nothing, feeling a bit dizzy/lightheaded, gassy, slight cold symptoms, ache in my very lower back, needing to wee even more than normal - so I tell you, if these aren't genuine symptoms - DO NOT EVER let me symptom spot again!!!!!
Also, I had a HUGE dip in my temps on 7DPO (see my chart below)... which makes me hopeful - and the reason (as if I need one!) that I insisted on testing - I tested at 9DPO too But for now, I'll just have to wait and hope that AF doesn't turn up

Aaaaanyway, enough about me and my probably-not-real symptoms!!!!

Mothercabbage - you spoke too soon about it only being us on here!!! How're you doing? How's the going?!?!?

Congrats wishbaby

Aaaaw babycakes, really sorry that evil got you - At least you got to have a good drink though!!!! PMA for next cycle though hun

 

[squeal]

Yeah it will be within 12 - 36 hours which is why am worried as mine was still positive yesterday morning and we didn't BD

 

[Caroline:-)]

I'm back!!

Been BD LOTS over the holiday but now I am worried I have missed the egg, I know that makes no sense but I will explain.

Basically we have BD say Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then Friday I got a positive OPK in the evening so we BD that night, and it was still positive Saturday morning, but due to travelling home we didn't BD, do you think I could have missed the egg?

TWW now for me! Anyone due to test soon or tested? What have I missed?

xx

Hey squeal - welcome back!!!! I thought you might be here today!!!!
I hope you had a lovely holiday!!!! so come on then... tell us the 'other' news!!!! Did he ask? Did he have the ring!??!?!
Don't give up hope though hun, there's certainly still a chance!!!! can live a good few days so BD-ing a day or 2 before O is fine!!!! GL hun, fingers crossed for you - you're definately still in with a chance!!!

 

[squeal]

Well I REALLY thought he hadn't, I kept asking and he told me no and I searched our hotel room while he was out and found NOTHING so we had a chat about it and he said he really didn't have it etc, so I was gutted and tried to forget about it all and enjoy the holiday.

The next day we went to Mount Vesuvius and climbed up to the top, and the views were stunning, and I was sat on the bench thinking to myself if he proposed here it would have been so perfect, but I didn't say anything as I didn't want him to feel bad. However, a bit later as we were walking back around the crater, I just said to him, it would have been perfect if you proposed to me here, and he was like yeah it would, this could have been our little spot, and then I saw this big rock at the side of the path and there weren't any others so I said yeah you could have proposed to me beside this rock and we'd know where it was to come back to in years to come as it's the only one around here, and then we kinda wondered over to this rock beside the crater and had a cuddle etc and then he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him!! I was SOO happy!!

He said he was going to do it there all along (and funnily enough about a month ago I had said to my friend that it would be perfect if he did it there but I never said anything to him so he came up with it himself) but I was so miserable after the climb he was wondering whether to do it or not!

Anyway I am trying to tempt him into BD right now so bear with me!! xx

 

[mothercabbage]

[squeal]

She's out until 1700 so we're going to go around then.

Just laid here with a pillow under my bum atm, not much I can do!

Where are you both in your cycles atm? I think today is CD17 for me. I shall give OH a break from BD now until he wants me, I don't think there is anything more we can do this month now.

 

[mothercabbage]

im on CD15...i think....gonna do another OPK in an hour, see what that says, got a pos opk yesterday, so hopefully i covered O this month!
pillow under bum...love it!!!

 

[Caroline:-)]

haha - well done!!! You managed to lure him to bed then!!!

Ooooooh, good luck with your mum tonight hun - I really hope she can be happy for you!!!!

Did you miss my loooooong update this morning above?!?!? I won't repeat it all here, haha... I'm 11DPO, tested today and got a BFN...

I do the pillow under bum too - lol, it might just give the a little more change to make their detination!!!!

 

[squeal]

Sorry Caroline, I did read it, once I had posted I looked back and realised, I just forget.

Can OPKs detect if you're PG or not?

I hate the TWW. I don't want to symptom spot but I know I will. I already am and I know it's impossible to have any true symptoms 1 or 2 DPO but the fact that I did three big wees in three hours without drinking hardly anything automatically makes you think of pregnancy when it's just impossible so soon after. I need to get a grip !!

You're still in with a chance Caroline, most tests don't detect anything till 13DPO so FX'd for you!

And my 20 minutes and more is up so I shall have to get out of my warm bed and do some washing!

 

[mothercabbage]

i think i might try the pillow under my bum tonight!, poor OH bet he's worn out!!!
done another OPK and the test line is much lighter today, does that mean O has passed now? or do we keep DTD?...

 

[Caroline:-)]

If it was dark yesterday and lighter today, it could mean that you are actually ovulating today - so keep doing it today and tomorrow!

I have heard that opk's will go really dark if you're pg, but I don't know how reliable it is?!?!?

So, you up outa bed now I always get so comfortable that I end up deciding I'd better stay longer - say an hour just in case!!!! lol...

Yeah, I'll just have to wait and see if AF arrives (and hope it doesn't!!!)
I know it sounds stupid, but I kinda can't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to get pregnant! It's stupid, because the majority of women obviosuly do, it's just soooo important to me that I can't believe I'll ever get something I want sooo much.... does that make any sense to anyone!?!? So as much as I hope and pray for it, I kinda feel like I'll never get to see those 2 lines... I've got the hugest fear that I'll never get pregnant... What if by being 'sensible' and putting it off for years to get a more stable/comfortable environment to bring up a child, I've left it too late?!?!? Don't get me wrong, I'm only 31 and loads of my mates are nowhere near even thinking about it yet... but it does worry me... Anyway, I'm making myself miserable now! And I'm supposed to be finishing my assignment that has to be in tomorrow!!!!

 

[mothercabbage]

... im gonna get sore!!!!!!!!! friction burns!!
roll on 2ww!!! never thought id say that!
so i can test in 2 weeks then? or a little earlier with frer?

 

[squeal]

I feel exactly the same Caroline. I ALWAYS worried that I could never get pregnant and that I wasn't working properly. The fact that I had two positive OPKs has made me feel a bit more confident as it means by body is actually working properly, so fingers crossed it's both possible for us both.

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey Girls! I also have that worry that I will never be able to get pregnant but I try to tell myself not to think like that. PMA and all that!


Caroline you may still get a F'xd for you hun. How do you do the charting stuff? I've ordered a btt on the net. Will it be okay to start doing it from a few days into my cycle?


Squeal congrats hun!!!!!! That sounds sooo romantic.

This cycle I'm going to try and drink grapefruit juice, chart my temp and have got OH to start taking father to be vitamins I would soooo love to be preggers this cycle/or next as it's my OH's 40th at the beginning of Dec. I would just love to give him a +ve test all wrapped up as a gift.


to you alll xxxxxx
