Wishing for a Christmas baby

Mmm thats very weird, sorry never had that happen to me, might be worth going to the Dr's to get checked? Hope everythings ok!
 
hey hippymumma23!

wow! that is very strange! I would definetely go to a doctor...hope all is well! It is probably one of those strange things that happen. I never got that either. Do you think it is due to lots of BDing and the soft cup...never used soft cup..sorry I can't help.
 
I think it is the soft-cup, yes. Another soft-cup user got the exact same thing. I think if I dont get pregnant this month I will probably not use this next month, because if they are making my bleed like that, they may be hindering my chance of getting pregnant, rather than helping. Only time will tell! These things are worth a try though I suppose :)
 
Glad you've found the cause! and yes, totally agree, worth a try but not at the expense of your health! Hopefully tho they'll have done their thing and you won't need to bother next month cos you'll have your BFP!

xx
 
Hi ladies - not much news here but wanted to say hello. HM glad you've worked out what the problem may be, and with luck you won't need the softcups anyway!

I've been doing OPKs since Friday, all neg so far - not surprising though as I'm only on CD10. Also been temping pretty consistently. I know I'd feel better about this whole thing if I got confirmation that I am ov'ing normally...whatever happens I plan to initiate loads of BDing this weekend :)
 
Hi girls, I hope you don't mind me gatecrashing your thread!!! I am CD10 TTC month 2 which is similar to most of you girls. I have a short cycle (only 24 days) though and suspect that I ovulated last night on CD 9, which is a little early for me as its usually day 11, but will continue to BD for the next couple of days just to make sure :winkwink: (secretly I am now tired of BDing!). This month i am going to attempt to 1. learn the 'lingo' on here and 2. not test too much (I have access to endless tests at work so the temptation is constantly there!!!).

Not looking forward to the dreaded 2ww...... (be nice to be able to chat to girls in the same boat xx)
 
Hi Madge! I'm the same CD as you and also on month #2 (we sort of tried for a month or two last year but it was much more casual so I don't count it :)) Are you also trying for your first?

I'm impressed with your testing willpower...I want to try to wait until at least day 30 (which would be feb 28) or after.

Welcome to the group :)
 
We are also trying for our first.... really hope we can!!! Bored of BDing now!!!
 
Well my softcups arrived but now after reading the bleeding problem I am a little more unsure of using them. The size of them were a little intimidating...and now reading the problem you had Hippy I am not so sure...how many months have you been using them and do you think the size is causing a irratation which is causing you to bled?? I did my first opk for this month and it was negative but will be doing another later this evening. I still can't get on track with my temps...do you lady think this late in my cycle is to late to start?? I am on cycle day 11.
 
Hi, I am also hoping for a BFP this month! This the first time I've ever actively TTC'd, and it is SO NERVEWRECKING! :nope:

Hmm, so apparently OVd on Feb 6 OR 7th.. never got into the whole BBT thing,so I just use a webiste to track periods,etc and bought an OPK which was + on the 4th.. Trying out Shettles method to conceive a girl, so BD'd 3 and 2 days before OV. Didn't risk it afterwards, which may be the thing that prevents pg this time around...

BUT symptoms? I've felt general nausea since Sunday (7th), so I think that is nerves/stress. Sore BBs/mostly nips.. and at this moment, feeling twinges in lower abdomin. On the 7th had (TMI alert!) creamy-lotiony like CM, very white, never noticed before outside of actual preg. sx. , for me anyway.

guess I am around 2dpo, which is too early for anything maybe.. I tested early with my other 2 pregnancies, so I will test beginning at 6dpo "just because" :blush:, then again at 8, 10 .. every other day til AF shows her ugly face :haha:

Baby dust to all ! ! I can't believe this is so aggravating, when it happened so suddenly twice before !! :dohh:
 
Welcome new comers! Reedsgirl, lots of women have been using this method and only two of us had the bleed and lots with their BFP's after using them, so Id be inclined to encourage you to try them this cycle purely because of their success rates. This is the 1st month Ive used them and wasnt daunted by the size, but I use mooncups so maybe slightly different. Before you put them in you fold them up and the open inside you, and they arent unfomfy. And yes this is my 1st and only month of trying them. I dont see how them causing me to bleed mid-cycle can be any good at all. But like I said it out of lots of women very few bled.

Aside from that, nothing to report this morning. Will be jumping DH tonight so long as we can both stay awake! Not bleeding at all, Im not checking my CM or temping or anything like, purely because Im too lazy and to be honest, I care little for the details when Ive not been TTC very long.

Ive put the mid-cycle bleed to the back of my mind now and continuing with my PMA and my belief that I will get y feb BFP and november sibling for my son. :D

How is everyone this morning?
 
Morning everyone! Welcome to the newcomers!

Reedsgirl, I kinda temp, sometimes I'm not so good at waking myself up to actually take it so take it later in the day, which prob accounts for my slightly dodgy temps at times, but, on the chart I can still notice a sig difference pre and post Ov so I find it reassuring that things are happening as meant to. If you started at 11DPO you may not get that accurate analysis of this month but it'd get you in practice, then next month you can start at the beginning(hopefully you won't need to though!).

Danzer-hows the temping going?

Hippy glad the bleedings stopped! Go PMA!

Nout to report from me this morning, I only on CD10 and don't Ov usually till CD19 so just waiting patiently!
 
Morning girls! (Or afternoon to some of you :))

Glad everyone seems to be doing well - let's keep up the PMA!! Caro, temping is going better since I started setting an earlier alarm - before kitty gets at her most annoying and starts demanding attention!

I'm pretty much also in the waiting game right now, although we BD'd Saturday and last night - don't want to make it seem like I only want to do it around ov time :) figure it can't hurt.

Reedsgirl let us know what you decide about the softcups, from what I've heard they're prob worth a try!

xx
 
Okay, so as I only have a short cycle and am now CD11 (and o CD9-11) I have offically started the 2ww......:help:
 
Good luck madge!!! baby dust to you!! and of course everybody...:)

Reedsgirl, it is never too late to start temping. I started temping halfway through the first cycle I temped and it was useful information. I still predicted AF perfectely that month. We were not trying then since I wanted the bcp out of my system and wanted to get a feel for my natural cycle...

so now I am CD 7 and waiting to use my OPKs...maybe CD 13 or 14....can't believe how much waiting is involved in TTC!!! and I am not a patient person!! LOL
 
Thanks for all the info ladies...I took the plunge(lol) and decided to use the softcups last after dh and I bd last night. It went in so easily!! (TMI) Left in all night and went to work with it in and was suddenly like Oh SH*tfire I have that in it was so comfy. So ran into the bathroom to try to remove and was a little freaked cause I couldn't get it. I knew I was just too stressed so decided to wait and try again after I could calm down...and well 2 hours later and it being in about 14 hours and me taking lots of deep breathes it came out and now I have had my first softcup experience and think I will use them again. LOL. Sorry for the novel but just thought I would update you. I did another opk last night and today still negative but I am having the O crampy feeling so I am not sure unless its from the softcups?? Well God bless ladies and thanks for all the support
 
LOL Reedsgirl! Glad it worked for you more or less :)

Still neg on the opk for me too...

Madge I'm jealous you're already in the 2 week wait! Thinking of you all!
 
Reedsgirl I struggled to get it out the 1st time aswell! And I hear softcups are worse (but better at the same time because they keep the swimmers closer to the cervix) because they sit higher up than moon-cups (which is the make Im using).

Ive got cramping today aswell and I dont know whether its ovulation of the using of the cup.

Either way Im pretty sure Ive ovulated so Im trying to work out whether today is 1dpo or whether I still count from CD14 when Im 'supposed' to ovulate.

I never had this when we made our son, we just shagged and made a baby. Simples.

Now its all planning and cm, and times and dates and stuff! Its fun for now but it'd do my head in for months on end.
 
Reedsgirl...your post did bring some images to mind! :haha:, glad you got it out in the end! How long you meant to leave them in for?
Danzer...I still have about a week till Ov!:coffee:
Hippy, 1DPO would be from when you actually Ov not the 14days average for everyone.:thumbup:

Well, I went shopping this morning and spent FAR to much! :dohh: but on the plus side I now have some nice new clothes, plus some prezzies for DH's b'day which isn't till March! Kept veering towards the clothes in the maternity sections, theres some really nice stuff out there, but I resisted! Fingers crossed in a few short weeks I'll get to go splurge again, in the section I want to be in next time!
 
Don't be jealous about my 2ww status!!!! Its killing me already!!! I think I am 3dpo and I am going crazy.... boobs are killing me..... don't know if thats a sign or just because we BD'ed like crazy the last few days. And I have felt sick all afternoon, could be a sign or it could be something to do with the 3 doughnuts and chocolates I have been scoffing all afternoon!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!:wacko:
