About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 4)

Hurrah for smiley face Swede! Hope your DH fulfils his husbandly duty tonight!

donnas how was your scan?

Better sorry you're ill now, but maybe this is a good thing as the cramps might well have been bug-related rather than a mc. Really hope you get some good news tomorrow! What time is your scan?

Welcome Hazy! Ttc does drive you mad and makes you examine every tiny little twinge...

Sorry if I've missed anyone, just trying to catch up aftadams conference day in London, which wasn't as bad as us feared thankfully.

:-) Even better!

Have you warned DH his services are required?!

Any EWCM, Swede?

Not super late then, in the scheme of things. I'm a smiley on CD15 person!

You ovulate 24-36 ish hours post smiley, I think, depending on when you get it. As you didn't test yesterday you don't know when the surge started, so it should be today - tomorrow I imagine. I always test with FMU and go with the day after the smiley (especially as I tested at 11 the night before my smiley due to OV pain and no smiley then!).

The sperm should still be there from Thursday, but definitely DTD later!

Darn

[Grin] for the Swede

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy Swede!!! :-)

When did you last DTD? What cd are you on?

I used My Days, Hazy. It also has a pink flower, confusingly.

Oh better hope it is all just gluten and that time passes quickly until tomorrow afternoon. Waiting and uncertainty are horrid.

Heartbeat and flutters sound so exciting toothpaste, brings it all back from dc1

So I've now got two tracking apps on phone: lady timer which I downloaded months ago only because it was not pink and Period Tracker, with a pink flower. Can anyone particularly recommend either or any other app for tracking?

I'm glad you heard the heartbeat, Toothpaste. :-)

Tell us more about your MiL...sounds like you need to vent!

Bloody hell, Better...if it doesn't rain! I hope you're feeling better really soon.

Swede, Fx that you now OV. Good luck POAS later on! Not sure about the nausea? Intense OV?!

Better really hope it's all bug related. Bleeds can be very common in early preg. I know what u mean bout not wanting to get hopes up though. Just want to fast forward. Though u want to get better before so take it easy.
I had tough weekend with mother in law. She is nightmare! Other than that 16 week midwife appt was good and amazing to hear heartbeat - albeit very briefly.
Think I am feeling fluttering too.
Goodluck to all on the wait and also those for the scans !

better glad that you have a scan scheduled now (and also that your sis can look after dd today). You've been through the mill in the last few days :(

donna best of luck for your scan which should be happening around now I guess!

No OPKs here either. I've just been using Period Tracker for the last 2 months and it looks like my cycles are 35-6 days long, boo! The year I conceived DD I'm nearly certain they were a shade shorter (DD was happy accident too). It took a year for AF to return after DD (breastfeeding) and then I went straight into the pill for 6 months so I think my cycles are still finding their feet a bit. Can usually tell when ovulation is imminent because of CM though.

Yesterday I was in Crazyland - kept thinking I could feel very slight cramping going on, tingling/stabby pain in breast and felt a bit dizzy...then realised that I must feel like this EVERY month and just don't notice. Did somebody upthread say Ttc makes them a hypochondriac? Can really relate to that. Normally I don't pass much heed to whatever little pains go on in my body. Boo to the 2ww!

Hi Hazy, welcome!

Better - that is really horrid, poor you - as if you haven't already got enough to be putting up with. Hope you feel better soon. Praying for you for tomorrow x

we're not charting or OPKing as I think DH would find it too stressful/pressured, so I'm just trying to keep track of likely OV date and DTD regularly around that! I think I should be OV between today and Thursday, so DTD last night, and will do tomorrow and Thursday too to try to cover all possibilities. Never really ttc before, as DS was conceived almost immediately my coil was removed, so I'm trying not to get too technical too early on... we shall see!

Good luck for the scan donna

Great that you had a decent sleep hungry and also nice and reassuring re nausea.

Just to add insult to injury here (and more confusion) I have now got an awful d&v tummy bug :( spent the night on the bathroom floor. Have awful chills/fever & aching all over. It could be that Ive been glutened (with me having coeliacs) but impossible to know. Hoping its the gluten thing as would hate dd to get it. Thankfully my sister has taken the day off work to look after dd for me as I'm in no fit state.

Bleeding and cramps have both stopped. Now unsure if cramps were re tummy bug/ glutening!! Or if it could be incomplete MC. Rang gp this morning who said they could book me for an emergency scan tomorrow morning, but just going to leave it as the afternoon as dh has the afternoom off work & my mum has taken the afternoon off to have dd.

Sorry to hear youre feeling down lucy do you feel better for telling your parents? Everything crossed for you this month. Are you using conceive plus? Have I asked you before? Sorry if I have. My scans at 3pm tomorrow.

Donna, even better...I slept all night (bar loo visits!). Think I'd got to the point where I was so knackered I wasn't going to wake up!

If you need stuff, you may as well buy it, no matter what time it is! :-)

I'm not in so much pain today and I'm feeling nicely sick, so I'm a bit happier!

Swede, how frustrating for you. In a way do you think it'd have been better to not have been told about the developing follicles?

Better, have you decided to call the midwife again today or will you wait til tomorrow now? How are you doing today?

Hi to Hazy. Good luck!

Hi hazy I'm similar to you, DD was a happy accident so have not TTC before. It is also our 1st month of TTC intentionally after having a random 70 day ish cycle. Not charting/doing OPKs as hoping it happens quickly.
better hope you can persuade someone to do a scan for you today. Can you self refer to EPAU where you are?
Hope everyone's scans go ok today.

welcome hazy hope you get a quick bfp xx
hungry dod you have any snacks last night hehe?! I managed to refrain but instead ordered a big ball to sit on and a microwave steriliser! fml ifbhave beem better getting up and making a sandwich! twilight online shopping will bankrupt me!
Better how is you bleeding/pain this morning are you going to call epas? Xxx
