Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

Only size 8 no weight to lose I've put a little on in about 2 years that's it nothing changes at all

xwonderingx · 27/07/2013 11:12

None of the above hun , I think I may have a water infection coming tho I can feel it I used to always suffer these years ago x

Doctorhappy · 27/07/2013 09:53

xwondering could there be any other reason you haven't got your period yet - have you been under a lot of stress? Or on a strict diet? Have you lost a lot of weight recently? Have you recently come off the pill or had a coil removed? Unfortunately it doesn't sound like you are pregnant this month, it's frustrating not to have your period yet though so you can move on. I bet it's nothing to worry about, hopefully the doc can put your mind at rest.
As for strategy, reckon we will try for every 2-3 days between about day 8 and day 22 just to be safe...
Also I really need to reduce my coffee intake! As of Monday I am sticking to one coffee a day for a week then the week after I'm going cold turkey.
Hope you all had a nice relaxing evening last night and are ready for another month - I had a few glasses of wine and watched some trashy tv, bliss after a long week!

xwonderingx · 27/07/2013 08:28

It's not till Wednesday , I'm worrying its somthing more now :( x

Cupcake11 · 27/07/2013 08:25

I'm not sure X - what days your doctors appointment? Hopefully they'll be able to give you some answers and put your mind at rest.

xwonderingx · 27/07/2013 08:09

Cloudy ??

xwonderingx · 27/07/2013 08:08

11 days late still negative. , I've noticed my urine is so muggy what could that mean ?

Cupcake11 · 26/07/2013 19:28

Sorry to hear about all the new people who are out this month :(

Doctor - my strategy will be regular sex throughout the month and lots around the middle of my cycle.

Haven't got to ov kits yet - would anyone strongly recommend them?

pxmx · 26/07/2013 18:23

I'm out, came on this morn :( Cried for half an hour would probably be crying now but i'm still at work so trying to behave like a normal human and not the hormonal mess that i actually am.
This is the first and last time i let myself get my hopes up.
Ill join everyone for next month, tho right now all i feel like doing is giving up completely. And to add insult to injury i'm still peeing constantly only now its starting to sting so i'm fairly sure ive some kind of water infection, probably from all the sex ttc. Fu*k it i'm still gonna drink my body weight in wine tonight.
X def head for the doctors for peace of mind if nothing else.
Until the next round ladies.........

xwonderingx · 26/07/2013 11:11

Come out in new spots today another sign of af , I'm going doctors next week

Wildwaterfalls · 26/07/2013 10:38

Doctor the strategy here will be much the same as last month because that clearly worked so well: invest in some of those smiley face OPKs and start tracking. I think where we went 'wrong' maybe was to do lots of SWI early on just in case, and then by the time the smiley appears we'd kind of 'run out of steam' a bit iyswim...

So taking it easy for the next 10-14 days I think.

What about you?

Doctorhappy · 26/07/2013 09:07

Wild, what a disappointment, hope you are ok. At least it's the weekend - I plan to cheer myself up with a large glass of wine this evening! Yes let's keep each other company this month, think there are a few of us. I might kick things off by asking if people have 'strategies' e.g do you try between days 10-20? Every day/second day? Or just when you feel like it?
Who's still waiting? pxmx?

Wildwaterfalls · 26/07/2013 08:53

Really sorry life... Frustrating isn't it.

AF showed up here this morning so I'm now definitely out too Hmm.

Still, August is another month.. How about we keep each other company for more testing then?

X that is very odd. Can't remember if you had made a doctor's appointment?

OP posts:
Doctorhappy · 26/07/2013 08:18

Life so sorry this hasn't been your month either. Have a good feeling about August...
xwondering - very weird! Maybe you should test again?

xwonderingx · 26/07/2013 07:55

10 days late still bfn !

lifesgreatquestions · 25/07/2013 17:15

I'm out! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

pxmx · 25/07/2013 13:47

Oh and wild enjoy your holiday :)

pxmx · 25/07/2013 13:45

wild & xwonder your still in until your def out ;) Keeping my fingers x for all of us & slowly loosing my mind waiting..... Ive just found my self rubbing my stomach and saying (out loud wtf?!) if theres a little person in there hang on tight your badly wanted!!!! Thank god i work alone & no one can hear me!!!! Have been to the loo about 20 times today and every time i go i'm taking it as a little victory that af hasnt appeared!! :)

Wildwaterfalls · 25/07/2013 13:02

Fingers crossed for those still in the running, and thanks for the kind words re this morning's bfn..

Will focus on enjoying the holiday, although will probably keep testing if AF doesn't show up soon!

Will be keeping an eye on the thread!

Not had any cramps today yet , will be testing every morning untill next week then I will be going the doctors , its weird somedays feels like I'm coming on others like today its doesn't , don't feel pregnant at all but saying that I didn't with my son :/ only time will tell !?

lifesgreatquestions · 25/07/2013 12:26

Fingers crossed pxmx, it's hard keeping emotions in check isn't it! I think I might be starting to cramp a bit. Like you I think I normally cramp earlier than this, and this feeling was fleeting and not really cramp like. Will be glad when i'm no longer wondering...

pxmx · 25/07/2013 11:31

Ah wild that's crap for you, but like you say until af shows you've still got hope :)
No sign of af here i'm literally on egg shells every time i pee (which is still V OFTEN!) I cant quite believe ive got this far i'm bubbling over, i just really hope af is not playing tricks on me & is going to sneak up & strike. My headache has gone today and i feel a good bit better so i think that was due to the thunderstorm we had here last night.
Ive still got no cramps which i'm convinced i normally have a couple of days before i'm due on. If af does show up i know i'm gonna be in bits, ive managed my expectations so well before this month but this month is different, i'm still fairly hopeful that we just might have cracked it!! I'm literally keeping everything crossed & trying my best to keep myself in check & not let my hopes get to high. Thinking of everyone else that's in the same boat & hoping that we all end up with bfps!! ;)

lifesgreatquestions · 25/07/2013 10:35

Sorry about all thebfns so far. I've not tested, might do tonight or in the morning. Af isn't reliable and I've spent enough on wasted tests to warrant waiting. I think if I felt pg I would have tested by now but I have no symptoms, i'm tired but have had some late nights, I also sadly know that symptoms can carry on after a pg has ended...writing that makes me realise how ambivalent I am! Most of us still have not had a visit from af so we can hold out some hope, eh?

Doctorhappy · 25/07/2013 09:38

Oh wild that's rubbish, I really thought you would get a bfp. Hope you're ok, I just try and cheer myself up with all the stuff in the coming month that I will be able to enjoy as I won't be puking and off the wine! It's so disappointing though, especially when you start to let yourself believe...
Px how about you? Any news? And life when are you testing? Fingers crossed for you both. Xwondering it's v.strange, def worth mentioning to your doc I reckon to put your mind at rest. You must feel in a bit of a limbo at the moment.

xwonderingx · 25/07/2013 08:59

Still no af here !
