TTC #1 - Thread 8

Sounds like you are having a very confusing time block . Hopefully the dr will be able to shed some light on whats going on this week. nothing worse than not knowing whats going on with your own body. lots of chocolate and tea for you.

Sorry Hopeful not sure what is going on there.

Not sure what our chances are this month, we dtd on cd 8, 10, 12 and 15. DH was too drunk on cd14 and too hungover yesterday morning (cd15) so only managed it last night. Unfortunately i got my peak on the cbfm on sat (cd14) and yeterday (cd15) so not sure if we have done enough this month but fingers crossed.

That is just bizarre block - wth's going on?! Hope you get some answers at the docs. I'm waiting for af too now- day 30 so hope I'm not going to join you in a wtf cycle!

Defiantly! When my next cycle decides to show up .... AF still not here!(tmi!) A bit of spotting but only when I pee!? Do I count this as AF? Glad ive got that dr app next week :(

That would be a bit not a but of course. Thanks block, next cycle for us?

Ohh thunder I'm so sorry :(

Hey all. Yeah block tested yesterday at 12 dpo ish with a FRER and bfn, so I really think I'm out this cycle. Understandable really I guess. I'll have a but of chocolate

Did you test thunder? Any news from anyone else? AF still hasn't kicked in yet but I'm sure she's on her way! - did another test though just incase - bfn not surprised though.

• I had the same problem hoping maybe I'm using too much?
• Sorry Honni you can share my Chocolate stash if you want?
• don't have a clue Hopeful, but maybe implantation, isn't that meant to be about 5-6 days before AF is due? (Fxed)

Do we have anyone to update on our list?

Congratulations Pink! Great news.

Sorry, I can't help Hopeful.

I'm feeling really shit as AF has just arrived a few days early. Didn't have much hope for this month after various illnesses throughout my cycle put a dampener on DTD, but still really annoying. Ah well, DH has kindly gone to acquire chocolate for me and I will buck up to start cycle 2 of TTC.

Congratulations Pink, that's fantastic news!

Hi all, hope you're enjoying the snow or are at least snuggled up inside. Have a query I'm hoping you can help with me.

I'm currently on CD22 and have been experiencing cramping for the last 4 days. Also have a sharper, stitch-like pain on one side. I think I Oved around CD14+AF not due for another 6ish days. I know there's such a thing as implantation cramping but I think it started too early+has gone on too long to be that. Also too early to be AF cramps. Anyone else experienced this or know what it might be? Trying to convince myself that it's nothing pregnancy related but can't help but be a little hopeful it might be. Confused!!

Thanks everyone. Still doesn't feel real. Made a Dr app today to make it all official etc.
Thanks fl0 I will check out that thread, and hope to see u all on the other soon. X

Sorry about the bloated block and sorry it wasn't bfp instead but good if you finally know where you are and can crack on with next cycle. ?

Feel really bloated today :( and just had (TMI time) a bit of brown-ish discharge. I think AF is on the way! (Finally!) which means I can cancel my dr's appointment next week - bonus!

Great news pinkapple- you can always pop over here when you're ready:

Haha MoC that is a brilliant description of what we felt last night! lol. i think you are probably using the right amount for you if your OH hasnt noticed anything...thats the way i wanted to play it but the ice rink last night gave it away!! Wow you have been busy this month!! maybe tonight off would give him the boost he needs for next week fingers crossed for you this month, really hope you get your BFP. Have you tried the visulisation technique after you've ov'd? my friend said it helped her after a few years of trying for her baby. You just need 10 mins to visualise the sperm falling in love with the egg and bursting through it to fertilisation!! cant do any harm!! Postive thoughts

Way to go pink AMAZING!!!!

hoping haha, someone on another thread said their OH referred to it as dipping his dick in a paddling pool lol. Maybe I'm really not using enough then??? I'm using probably a teaspoon full or maybe a little bit more, the OH hasn't said anything.
I'm on CD16 so yep we are pretty close, I've kind of made it up as I go along this month, gone for the shagathon approach so far DTD on CD4 (twice) CD7, CD9, CD11, CD12, CD13, CD14, CD15, I was hoping to the DTD CD16, CD18, CD20 and CD22 but my OH is now, for the first time ever, close to refusing to have sex.....never thought I'd see the day! So I think I may have to give him tonight off! Then perhaps go for every other day for a few days. I got positive OPKs on Tuesday and Wednesday so I think I must have OVd by now.
I haven't had any OV pains but my nips are agony which I think can be another sign of OV so FX my robust little egg is about to meet and fall in love with one of the OH olympic swimmers!

wOWOWOWOW congratulations Pinkapple. wishing you a very happy & healthy 9 months!

Hi Hopefulfairy Fx'd for that BFP very soon for you

MoC I used the smallest amount of Preseed last night & it was like an ice rink!! So much for the DH not noticing lol. Didnt even fill it to 1 on the applicator so it was a tinsy tiny amount compared to the amount being suggested in the directions booklet! is too much counter productive to the little swimmers? Not the best experience with it, i have to say! I think we are quite close in cd's, I am on cd13 at the moment & hoping for that little eggy to show up on the cbfm tomorrow or Sunday. Are you following the SMEP plan?

Hope everyone is looking forward to a good weekend

Yaaaaaay Pink!

Yeay!!! Congrats pink!!!

YAYAYAYAYAY!! pinkapple!! Congrats x x

SHIT! Still no AF so I poas and BFP! Totally in shock as I already did 3 last week and bfn. But did 2 tonight and BFP!

haha cat well last night my OH really wasn't that interested, we DTD anyway but unusually it was hard to get him ready IFYWIM that's the first time that has happened. So far I'm on CD15 and we have DTD 8 times, going to keep going till Friday then let him have Saturday off and have one final go on Sunday Sexy sunday as the OH likes to call it then go back to DTD when we actually want to, not because we have to.

It doesn't help that he was really annoying me last night so neither of us were feeling that attracted to each other I don't think.

Hi Cat, nice to speak to people in the same boat. I almost wish I had your mood swings to give me a break from myself! I can think of nothing else+find myself completely consumed by thoughts of either being pregnant or having a baby. It literally is exhausting! Hoping this year will bring me that elusive BFP! FXed for everyone x

Hi HopefulFairy

I've been ttc for about the same length of time and got married at the start of October. I'm right here with you for the journey! I really feel your frustration about wishing you'd started trying earlier. Damn those school teachers for scaring us! telling us we'd get pregnant as soon as we had unprotected sex!

I'm battling with crazy mood swings; swaying between not being too bothered, trying to enjoy married life, doing selfish things we couldn't do with a baby etc (Off snowboarding in two weeks!) but then I sobbed after I saw my preg friend the other day.

I'm off to the doctors next week to investigate why my AF still hasn't appeared. I'm pretty sure it's PCOS.

Blockette - good luck at the docs. I hope they have good news for you.
Thunder - you're cracking me up encouraging everyone to POAS!

MoC - I'm a bit jealous of all the dtd you're getting!

Here's hoping Pink. Have been measuring potential conception against anniversaries like that. Over Christmas just kept thinking "Hopefully have a baby to buy for next Christmas " and then it's "Hopefully will be preggars on my birthday" (Sept 1st) or by my Mum's so I can give her the best B'day pressie of a first Grandchild. Not sure it's wise as makes the disappointment so much harder to bear but here's hoping we'll both have something else to celebrate this year

Still waiting for AF hoping
Welcome fairy I got married in the summer too. Fingers crossed we will both be with bump by our first anniversary!
