LadyGG sorry to hear AF has got you. I hope your cycle gets sorted out soon.

Blush I was incompetent and misread my OPK Sad In my excitement I expected it to be like a pg test where any line is positive. I checked the instructions properly today and the line has to be darker than the control. Mine was fainter, although it was vv faint yesterday evening and a bit less faint this morning. Am I clutching at straws here?

I had a bit of a funny turn at the gym tonight. Went all cold and shaky whilst I was running. I had to stop and come home early. I'm fairly sure it's because I had a light-ish lunch. I feel a bit better now I'm home and have had a couple of pieces of toast, although a hot shower was a mistake.

that was meant to be "oh no" - sorry

GetDownYouWillFall · 15/10/2010 17:45

ph no ladyGoneGaga Sad I am so sorry to hear that Sad

Does sound like your cycle is still settling down after the MC.

Hope it starts being more sensible too. Hope you are ok? Take it easy tonight

LadyGoneGaga · 15/10/2010 15:19

Well, the mc has truly played silly buggers with my hormones. AF in full flow today giving me a LP of 7 days. Great. Going to the back of the bus in a huff. Red wine, soft cheese and raw eggs for me tonight. I am pretty clueless as to what "fun" japes my cycle might get up to next so am working on around a 35 day cycle which is a blind guess. Will update when I have ovved, in several weeks. FFS.

Still cycle 1 though as the last one was my free spin as not meant ttc before first AF. But did. Ha. That told you, medical establishment.

me too Teds77 work is baaaaad at the moment, it would be so lovely to have an "end point".

I am driving myself potty with symptom spotting Sad

Have really sore boobs today and yesterday - hurts to run upstairs.

Also felt quite sicky this morning - but you don't normally get nausea till after missed AF do you?

Teds77 · 15/10/2010 13:41

Welcome Choco though fingers crossed it will be a very short trip Smile

Work very slow today... please let me only be stuck here for another nine months... pretty puleeze Angry

KnitterNotTwitter · 15/10/2010 10:50

Oooh choco sounds exciting.

Of course you can join - although you may be the speediest member of a conception bus ever!!

If you think you're pregnant then you may be better off on a Anti-Natal Bus... I think that you'd be due in June if you've just found out you're pregnant now... I think this is a link to the June Bus

But if you'd like to stay here until you're sure then it would be lovely to have you (and to claim you as a graduate :)) Let us know your stats and either add yourself to the list or if you just post your stats up someone else will happily add you.

Hi, can I hop on?

Had a 2nd line appear this morning on a cheapie test, I have had symptoms for a week now,and I'm going to get a digital test to do tomorrow to make sure!

ravenlocks · 14/10/2010 20:55

Glad you said that getdown as I really don't get EWCM and hoping it doesn't ruin my chances!

gettingonmyownnerves · 14/10/2010 20:10

Knitter that's so funny, hope you you were using cheapie tests! easily done though, I find myself wishing the weeks away, esp when not either ovulating or waiting to test.
Eskarina, great to know you are ovulating (peeing on things is addictive though) - have fun!
I have just realised that dh will be away around the time of ovulation - need to check exact dates but mightily peed off! was planning a major assault this month after a pretty mediocre effort last time.

Eskarina · 14/10/2010 18:27

Waves to new people. Welcome aboard.

My OPK's came today. How sad am I that I got very excited by it and ran off to give one a whirl. Perhaps I'm just getting carried away by the idea of actually being allowed to pee on something Grin It's positive so I guess I am ovulating at last. But I've also started spotting today. I hope it doesn't go on for 2 weeks like last month.

GetDownYouWillFall · 14/10/2010 17:40

Anyone know what happened to Alien06 her AF was due today according to the stats....

KnitterNotTwitter · 14/10/2010 15:53

Afternoon goldmaple lovely to have you with us...

and thanks Teds - I still feel rather foolish :)

OP posts:
jigglebum · 14/10/2010 15:21

Afternoon everyone. been lurking rather than posting as last month got rather too into it all and had convinced myself I was pregnant and was then bitterly disappointed.

Hi to all the new joiners. Hi Gettingonmyownnerves sorry not to have responded on the other thread. Sorry you weren't successful last month either - here's hoping July is better for us.

Congrats to Cep and looking forward to hearing of more BFPs soon. I have ages to wait as have a five to six week cycle, which is very frustrating when TTC. My DH definitely knows when I am ovulating or nearly ov - he never gets that much sex anymore otherwise. I think he finds the pressure to perform a bit much sometimes! I am in awe of anyone who manages it more than once a day! I was meant to be visiting relatives over half term and just realised that is not a good time for DH to be apart - think I will have to keep the visit very short, without explaining why!! It is tricky isn't it.

Teds77 · 14/10/2010 15:07

Afternoon all, have lovely cups of tea and chocolate tiffin for the afternoon ride.

Knitter fingers crossed for implantation and err, glad you spotted the calendar Wink

mrsden am wishing you extra energy for the next few days. Am absolutely shattered but sooo want it to happen this month. Obviously that means it won't...

Luce loving the bowel point reflexology success Grin

And welcome to goldmaple

MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO CEP!!!!!! Well done!!!!!can you please send some pregnancy dust my way???Grin
knitter..you crazy woman!!!!!LOL figers crossed the twinge is implantation! We need more graduates on this bus!!!!
so,what's going on with me...well,I decided to try something different and relax after all the problems I've had with my Surgery
Had my first Reflexology session yesterday morning and it was BLISS
DH thinks I'm bonkers but I do believe in souls,spirits and energyBlush the lady was lovely and managed to make me relax! I told her what has been going on for the past year and how I felt let down by the Dr.She concentrate on those points on the sole of my feet that corrispond to the reproductive organs and must say that sinc eyesterday morning I've had cramps in my lower abdomen ( also think that she might have touch my bowel point cause after 2 weeks where I was constipated,time to get home and went to the looGrin )I know that Reflexology is not going to get me pg but I do think that it will help me on getting the stress out of my system and help with my hormones imbalance and hopefully, after all this I wil managed to get pg

GetDownYouWillFall · 14/10/2010 12:17

well, knitter I didn't like to say anything at the time but I did think doing a test at 6DPO was a bit bonkers Grin

twinge in the womb area sounds promising I had major twinges yesterday - quite noticeable pains, I am pretty sure I didn't imagine them. But nothing today.

KnitterNotTwitter · 14/10/2010 11:19

Welcome new ladies :)

Do you all want to hear something funny.... I was making a cup of tea last night and while waiting for the kettle to boil I was looking at the calendar on the wall and thinking right so AF due 24th.... Today is the 14th... Hang on a minute.... yep i'd lost a week somewhere... Shouldn't have been even thinking about POAS for a good week... How I laughed (and felt a bit stupid) I had thought that the 2WW felt quite speedy this time round.

That said I had an interesting twinge in the womb area this morning... implantation...???

Wombat33 · 14/10/2010 10:28

Morning all. Congratualtions Cep!!!

Bubble I always get two or three days in a row of positives on the OPK (I use the clear blue digi smiley face ones) so I don't think it's anything to worry about. I don't know when during those three days the 48 hour window for ov starts and finishes though. In Aug we managed to SWI each positive day and got a BFP (but I MC at 7 wks), but in the cycle immediately following that we only SWI on day one, not days 2 and 3 of the smiley faces and BFN, so I guess keep at it for as long as you and DH can!! Grin Good luck!

mrsden · 14/10/2010 09:12

Congratulations cep!

Ok, I am officially going crazy. I had bad indigestion last night, woke up after a really vivid dream and felt sick when I got up and my nose was running so I thought "oh, maybe I'm pregnant". Then I remembered that I haven't ovulated yet and am only on CD14!

We should be right in the middle of SWI-ing phase but we both have bad colds and DH is working late so isn't getting in until 10pm and is very tired so I don't think this is going to be our month. But you never know Wink .

mylittlebubble maybe your DH needs a little rest Grin You should try and persuade him to go to his GP though, my DH had aching a couple of years ago and I nagged him to go to the dr because I was worried about it. His doctor took it very seriously even though DH was convinced it was nothing. He had an ultrasound and all was fine but the doctor said it's always better to get checked out and men are rubbish at doing that so need us to nag them.

GetDownYouWillFall · 14/10/2010 08:30

If it helps anyone, try not to obsess over EWCM - when I conceived DD I didn't seem to have any around the time of ovulation or after, so it doesn't necessarily indicate whether you can get pregnant or not Smile

Mylittlebubble I think you are fertile for up to 48hrs after a positive OPK.... but three days in a row? Hmm, you're not pregnant are you?!?!?

Eskarina glad you got your 2decimal place thermometer. Obsess away!!! Am very impressed with your DH showing an interest in your charts! Mine just goes "oh, that's.... interesting" Hmm

Was convinced I had sore boobs when first woke up this morning. Also those pains yesterday have got me all a wondering.... trying not to be too hopeful though, the disappointment would be huge otherwise.

Mylittlebubble · 14/10/2010 07:02

Kat i think the darkest line was the first one on the Sunday.

I'll keep going with the SWI till the weekend. DH plums are aching so will have to be very seductive to get another one out of him this week Wink. He says is due to too much SWI but I'm not convinced. Anyone else's DH suffered with this?
