WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[almosthere]

sorry to hear AF might be on the way preshfest, but many women have said they felt like it was then instead they got a surprise BFP!

Emz - the dark right hand side line in Almosthere there pic is the control line. The line to the left is the test line. The opk's pick up on the LH surge in women to indicate imminent ovulation. The test line needs to be the same colour or darker as the control line to indicate a pick up in the LH surge. Once detected they predict ovulation in 12/36 hours. That's a rough summary, guess different opk's are different. Generally I think they say test any from 10am and should not use fmu as lh is synthesised overnight.

I tested this morning.. BFN, but only 8dpo, so that's to be expected. I have one test left and will save it for wednesday and if it's another bfn, then I will just wait for af to arrive.

I was laid up on the couch all day yesterday with major nausea and diarrhea. I had the nausea last month, too at 6dpo, but no diarrhea... So I'm hoping maybe it's a good sign this month? My boobs are also sore which hasn't happened in ages.

I really don't have much hope, though. I had a fever while we were ttc, I think it was gone by the time I OVed, but you never know how a fever can affect everything. It could have killed his swimmers for all I know. But it's ok! I seem to OV on alternating sides, so next month it should come from my good side which will be much less worrisome for me!

Hey Presh, sorry you're feeling poorly, but fingers crossed it's a good sign!

Another 2 of my facebook friends have announced they're pregnant today. Jealous!! One of them are on their third and the other on their fourth and they're both only 23!! Wish it was that easy for everybody to get pregnant!!
I've still got my fingers crossed for a Christmas BFP but I won't be too disappointed if I don't get one, as I'll be able to have a few drinks to celebrate the festive season then! lol We're still NTNP so if nothing happens by the end of the year, DH better watch out in the new year!! haha

How is everyone else feeling? Anybody got any symptoms?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi all.

Sorry to hear you've been poorly preshfest. Hope you are now feeling better and AF stays away.

I'm ok, a bit down and emotional today. Long story but have what I can only describe as an ulcer (for want of a better word) on my right boob. It came up whilst we were away, end of September, literally not there one minute and there the next. I assumed it was a bite or spot etc. When got back went to dctr and got some anti's and cream. Went back as hadn't cleared, again more anti's and cream and still nothing. Both these times were with another GP so saw mine and he tested straight away for infection and nothing, clear. Went back today as not happy with it as not clearing up and he has referred me for an emergency breast cancer screening.

He did say that he is confident it isn't as known of the symptoms point to that and no lumps etc but is ruling it out rather than ruling it in - if that makes sense.
But just a little scared, upset and frightened I guess.
It's a two week emergency referral so should hear back pretty sharpish. I know he is only doing it as a precaution and really did assure me that he doesn't think it is but I am now really worried.

No ovulation for me, due this Friday so we were BD'ing every other night from yesterday, cd10 and then everyday to + opk but not sure feeling up to it now after today.

Sorry to moan on and I know and I over reacting but it's not nice

 

[miss malteser]

Sonia, don´t let it get you down. As you said it´s just for precaution and they won´t be able to move on and find out what´s causing the ulcer until they´ve done the screening and got it out of the way. Try and see it as something positive that takes you a step closer to finding out the cause and then the correct treatment!

I´m cd 16 and still haven´t ovulated so it looks like I´m going to have a short luteal phase again. I was hoping that it was just a symptom of coming off my BCP and would gradually get longer every month. Last month I ovulated on cd 19 so I´m really hoping that I ovulate within the next 2 days just so I can convince myself that it is improving!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks miss malteser your right! X

 

[almosthere]

I had a breast lump scare as well, keep positive until you know the real hard facts!!

AFM, no OV yet, but still early. My OPK line was a little darker than the others so hoping I am slowly progressing toward OV. What a treat if I find out I am OV only less than 3 months off BCP'S! Hoping this month or the next brings me a BFP!!!!

 

[PreshFest]

I've had a couple lump scares myself. One was surgically removed and the other was removed through a biopsy... Fun stuff... So really try to stay positive and just get it taken care of!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks girls so much for our support, it means alot. I don't have any lumps, well not that I can feel and GP couldn't feel any either just this ulcer / wound.

I'm off out to an awards ceremony in London tonight, black tie, park line - I guess the oscars for the PR world!

 

[almosthere]

Ooooo that sounds very lovely! Enjoy!

 

[PreshFest]

Which OPK's do you guys recommend? I'm looking ahead to next month...just in case... So if AF comes this weekend I want to order some online. Never done OPKs before and don't even know how to use them!
And since I'm a POASA, I might as well order some cheapie pregnancy tests. Any recommendations on those? Do the 10 miu or whatever ones really work?

 

[miss malteser]

I´ve no idea as up to now I´ve never tried POAS! I don´t use OPKs and AF came so early last month that I never needed to do a HPK.

I think I´m ovulating today (cd17)!! Finally! I know it´s still late, but it´s 2 days earlier than last month so at least it is getting better. If I´m not ovulating, well then I dread to think what these scary pains are. One of them left me breathless!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I use the ones from SME fertility. The do a combination of 40 opk's and 10 pregnancy tests for about £8 I think. Very easy to use.

 

[PreshFest]

I just went ahead and bought a combo pack from Amazon! 40 LH ov strips and 10 pregnancy tests. Hopefully I won't need them, but I'm fairly certain I will. In any case, it gives me something to look forward to next month! And the best part is, they will be here tomorrow so I can test! Wahoo! Even with the super fast shipping, it only cost me $12, so that's definitely affordable.

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Sonia - I'm really sorry to hear you're going through an anxious time at the mo. Stay positive

 

[almosthere]

Hey ladies, here's my OPK's from CD5-today (CD8). Looks like I am starting to get closer to my OV LH surge as it was much darker than the first 3 with these CVS strips. Just for fun, when do you ladies think I will OV based on tonight's OPK? I am guessing a early OV on NOV 18th which would be CD11 of my cycle! But perhaps too soon, I am getting in over my head! I wish

 

[PreshFest]

!!!!!!
Will go to the dr today to get my beta hcg and again on Friday! Please pray it's not ectopic!!

 

[miss malteser]

Huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Think positive - it WILL NOT be ectopic!!
