Hello - starting a new one as the old one filled up.....

Didn't want to start another...but I really hope this is the last thread for all of us.

Red Hmm 15dpo? I hope you're wrong about af being on the way.

The soy isoflavones don't seem to have done much re my cycle. I have heard you can get lots more ewcm early on in your cycle - but it hasn't for me. I was also hoping for an increased sex drive, the jury's still out on that one. I'm having a lot of odd sex dreams but sex drive isn't very high in the day time.

At least I can reassure myself ov isn't about to start anytime soon and I haven't missed to boat.

So sorry fatas. The waiting must be awful.Sad
Hi res, I agree with red. It looks like you ovulated on the date you got your +OPK. Mine usually dips that low when I ovulate too.
Good luck red, hope AF stays away this time.

fatas that's awful, I'm so sorry. Hope you are ok and it all gets resolved quickly.

red I've got my fingers crossed too. How many days post ov are you?

fatasbutter · 31/01/2013 11:02

Fx red for af staying away! Some good news would be nice Smile

fatasbutter · 31/01/2013 11:01

Just back from hospital. Reassurance scan not so reassuring!! Possible ectopic possible blighted ovum. Have to wait 48h for repeat hcg unless I get tummy pain etc (fx I don't!!!) but essentially not good news. Was prepared. Not a shock but just wish I could know now and not have to wait!! (As everyone always wishes!!!)

Grrrr stupid body...

weechops · 31/01/2013 10:52

fatas oh no are you ok?

resipsa · 31/01/2013 10:52

Thanks red and my fingers remain crossed!

twinklestar2 · 31/01/2013 10:27

fatas hope you are okay? what happened? x

res I temp + use OPKs to give me confidence that I do ovulate. Most of the time my +ve OPKs have coincided with temp rises. Your temperature must rise for 3 days to confirm OV. Try again tomorrow morning to see if its at 36.3 or higher. If yes, then it means you OVed on Tues when it dipped to 35.7 - hope that makes sense.

no news my end, feel certain AF will arrive Sad

resipsa sorry I can't advise on temping. I tried a bit when trying for dd but I am not very with it in the morning and kept forgetting to check my temp first thing.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 31/01/2013 10:01

fatas you ok?

resipsa · 31/01/2013 09:59

fatas what's happened?

fatasbutter · 31/01/2013 09:46

Hi everyone. Looks as if I will be back with you lovely ladies very soon... x

resipsa · 31/01/2013 09:16

Do any of you do "temping"? I did it this month to try something new and don't know if my figures show ovulation has happened. The results were 36.1 on Sun, 36.1 on Mon, 35.7 on Tues (+OPK), 36 on Weds and 36.3 today. Do you think the rise to 36.3 is the rise I should see? TIA!

resipsa · 31/01/2013 08:54

red any news?

resipsa · 30/01/2013 14:55

Oh winkle the evil booze - great when it exacerbates a good mood or you're really bored with the company, otherwise a disaster. Think positive.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 30/01/2013 12:16

Oh bless you twinkle, crying about babies Sad

[leen] it is a bit odd af has still not arrived. Def do another test in the morning if it still isn't here. I am desperately trying not to treat dh as the sperm bank, I keep complementing him on his performance. Hopefully he thinks I just want his body but in reality I mostly want the sperm.

I feel quite bad writing that as I do enjoy sex with him, I am just a bit obsessed with ttc at the moment.

twinklestar2 · 30/01/2013 12:02

Hi all and welcome to newbies.

I broke my dry jan and ended up getting drunk really easily and crying about babies.

So no more booze for me as it doesn't help.

weechops · 30/01/2013 11:03

Go res! Grin

leen really sorry for the bfn but you're not out til af shows so keep hoping.

LeenHS · 30/01/2013 09:13

Can you tell I just learnt how to bold!!

LeenHS · 30/01/2013 09:13

Wow you are all so lovely. It makes me well up!!

red I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you so much.

sam thank you! It was quite an impulse test. If AF doesn't show I'll test again but first thing in the morning.

As for seal chat... DH always says to me: "you only want me for my sperm"... I say noooooo not all. Inside I'm like, pretty much.

Grin - performing seal is classic, show pony even better. I might try those on DH next month.... or not maybe.

No news my end. Waiting for spotting / Af to commence. Def don't feel pregnant.

resipsa · 30/01/2013 08:04

Also said he wasn't a show pony but later conceded that probably wasn't the right turn of phrase. We didn't do it in public!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 30/01/2013 07:37

Well done res glad you got your seal to perform. Grin
