You girls won't be far behind, I know it

[almosthere]

Congrats EMZ! wonderful news, new you got another sticky bean! And Wantsbabysoon, I didn't start ttc until Sept, but that month shouldn't really count, as I was on BCP's part of the time. Think I am still not OV unfortunately, as today when I checked my cervix it was very firm, medium high and closed. Very upset, and to confirm, yet another neg opk this am...testing again tonight, only have enough to test twice more tomorrow. that will make 22 neg. opk's for this month =(

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Almosthere - I stopped my BCP in September too, although I'm not using OPKs. I am however checking my cervical position and CM and looking out for other signs.

I don't think I ovulated during my first real cycle but think that I might have last month (although can't say for definite as didn't poas). I felt on/off cramping and sharp pains at the time when I had loads of EWCM. Despite the cramping and CM my cervix stayed high firm and more or less closed.

It's all a bit too confusing for me. How often are you using the OPKs? And when in your cycle are you supposed to start?

[almosthere]

My new cycle is due to start around DEC 6th. I have an average of a 28DC and my opk got a lot darker after the wait time-does this mean it is not accurate? I hope it is, as it is giving me some hope! As for EWCM I may have had a little last cycle, but nothing this cycle.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almosthere - I would try vitamin b6, it doesn't bring on ovulation but will help with the Luteal phase - the phase needed for egg to implant BUT has given me AMAZING cm this month for a good 4/5 days as well.

Emz - CONGRATULATIONS! Amazing news. That has really put a smile on my face! So that's three BFP now, leaving 4 to follow? I think I'm out this month FF said ovulated day 15 but opk positive 16 and 17. We couldn't bd around ovulation time for one reason and another, did on day 12 but I would fall of my chair if get a bfp from that.

I am totally clutching at straws here but when do hpt stop picking up HGC as in HGC being too high? The only reason I ask is because I've been nauseous for two days now, sick this morning, off food, I cant even touch my nipples (having to go bra less where I can) and boobs are rock hard! Plus some odd flutters in tummy. As I said clutching at straws but when I went to consultant on Monday for breast cancer screen he also commented on hardness of my boobs and asked if I was pregnant????
Oh well I'm pretty sure I'm not!

On the same subject, consultant thinks my Boob ulcer is nothing cancerous. Has done some tests / swabs to test and I'm back there in two weeks but very relieved for now

Congrats Emz!! 3 down and counting!!

Sonia - glad you've had some good news from the doctor!

I'm on CD18 today, anybody else similar? According to an app on my phone, I'm due to ovulate tomorrow based on my 2 periods since finishing BCP's but have a feeling that I O'd on Saturday (CD15) based on cramping, but I can't be certain! If my cycles have regulated AF should be here on December 3rd, but if it's similar in length to my last one, it would be due on the 11th, so I'm going to try and wait until at least the 11th to test if AF hasn't showed before then. I wouldn't want anything for Christmas if this one's a BFP!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm on cd20, last cycle was 25 days so would be due Sunday based on that but hoping for a 28 day cycle so due net Wednesday as been taking b6 to help extend Luteal phase.

This is harder than I think I thought

 

[almosthere]

Thanks Sonia, what cycle day would be best to start taking the b6? I will look into it for DEC! And my cervix seems to have softened and opened, I am thinking it is more firm and closed very early in the morning. keeping my FX for OV and for BFPs for all!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Oh sounds like you could be right and ovulation could come tomorrow?

For the whole cycle, it isn't day specific. I started on cd1 but that was more coincidental. The only think I soil say is that some people have mixed reactions - my purpose is to extend Luteal phase as last month was only 9 days, the cm has been a bonus! Just make sure your pre natals plus b6 do not exceed recommended daily limit which is 100mg. My prenatals have 10mg in and in the uk they only do b6 in 50 and 100mg so I'm taking 50mg plus the ten in my prenatal. Also mine is a stand alone b6 not a b complex. Let me know how you get on x

 

[almosthere]

Thanks, and will do!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Sonia - Your symptoms sound REALLY promising. Don't give up. can hang around for days waiting for the egg. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you hun x

Can I ask a really silly Q? When you check you cervix, do you actually CHECK your cervix???

 

[almosthere]

if you are asking me, you feel with your middle finger, I do not actually look lol

 

[Jembug]

Congratulations Emz!! Sooo exciting! Im not officially ttc yet, altough im not on bc, will keep you posted if anything happens. Xx

Hi ladies,

Just a quick update...
I´m not really a symptom spotter but it´s been hard not to spot the symptoms these last few days as my body is acting really weird.

Between 3-7dpo I was suffering from really bad headaches (I hardly ever have headaches) and an extremely dry mouth. I had to have a bottle of water with me at all times and even when i woke up in the morning, the first thing I did after temping was gulp down loads of the warm water that I´d had next to my bed all night I couldn´t even wait to go downstairs and get some orange juice to drink! It didn´t occur to me that it could me a symptom but when reading some posts about headaches during the 2ww I read that it is!

Anyway, today I´m 8-9dpo and I don´t know why but I feel really really down. It´s my birthday so I really shouldn´t feel like this but I almost burst into tears twice this am for no reason at all which is pretty weird. Also, I have never suffered from acid reflux before but I have been suffering all day. Again, I didn´t know it was a symptom until I was looking via google to see what the hell was happening with my throat (it feels like i´ve got a burp trapped in my throat and when I finally manage to do it, it tastes like i´m about to vomit tmi). Turns out that a lot of people who suffer from this get their bfps!

I really don´t want to get my hopes up and promised myself I wouldn´t but I haven´t really had to "look" for these symptoms, they´ve just been impossible to miss! I didn´t even know they were symptoms so at least I know I haven´t been imagining them!

for some bfp´s

 

[almosthere]

when are you testing?! TEST!! hehe =)

 

[miss malteser]

I´m going to try and wait until i´m 13dpo which will be mon/tues. Although, last month i only had a 10 day luteal phase so if AF hasn´t arrived by 11dpo I might give it a go!

 

[almosthere]

GL!

AFM DH is being super moody & refuses to go buy OPK's with me, I feel weird buying them myself, I am such a baby! Anyway, we are going to buy a BBT today finally and OPK to be safe to see if and when I will OV next month. Does anyone know when the latest I should stop OPKing this month? Still neg's and I am on CD 17 today...is there a time too late to OV? AF due around 5th ot 6th of DEC...

However, I feel like I either OV or tried to because of the bloating cramping and nausea signs I had last and this month. I did research & lot's of ladies got preg. without catching a LH surge, so I am keeping my FX!
