I have one child who is 11, and who longs for a sibling. I am 32 years old & I have been trying to conceive since December 2013. I am ovulating thankfully, but seem to ovulate on CD18. My issue is that at 9dpo I start spotting and 10 dpo AF starts. I am on TTC#7 now, and I find the 2WW very difficult every month. I try to be positive and hope for the best, but on the other hand I try not get my hopes up too much, as it is so upsetting when AF arrives. I have had CD3 and 7 dpo tests done to check hormone levels...all of these have come back normal...My temps are really good too, so I just can't understand what is going on with my body. I also have been going to accupunture for the last 3 months. I am on CD1 today so hopefully this is the month I will conceive. Fingers crossed.Would anyone like to join me as I begin Cycle 7 TTC? x

CD1-36.9oC (TTC#7)(LP 10 days)

Hmm have a lower temp today but definite EWCM this morning! Not sure what's going on! I had ov pain yest too so am pretty sure I just have ovulated late this month. Maybe my temps have been all over because of being unwell Confused

laurano looks promising that you've ovd! I don't know about adjusting the temp, I think all the other signs are pretty clear that it's happened! Woo fx! I def need to dtd tonight though! Xxx

I woke at 5am this morning for a pee (TMI), so I took my temp first...it was 36.19°C. I usually take my temps at 7am, but I don't know whether to leave it or adjust it? I defo ovulated today! Left ovary Grin Please work! I am quiet sore there! x

The first pic shows tests starting from the bottom from CD14, CD15 & the two top ones CD16...they were stronger in colour within the first 10 mins or so. The pic of the OPK on the True pack was taken today CD17..it is definetly lighter x

Hi Ela I am delighted you are feeling better x Maybe it is the opk's you are using...I have only ever used the True ones...they look the same out of the packet though! My temps are as follows the last few days:

CD 12 36.48°C
CD 13 36.51°C
CD 14 36.37°C
CD 15 36.01°C
CD 16 36.02°C

Hopefully your temps will drop for ovulation x Maybe you have ovulated already? Is that a possibility? Perhaps that is why your temps are on the rise x Either way! Fx for a shiny BFP this month for us all ! x Oh wouldn't it be fab! x

Wow laurano I don't ever get anywhere near a line like yours! I'm pretty sure the only line I've got before is an evap!! My cycles are usually pretty regular but I'm on cd16 now and don't think I've ovulated yet, temp has begun to rise now so hopefully that's a positive sign!
Fx for you though that you get your BFP this month!! I'm feeling better now :-) xxx

I just did an OPK! I was kinda freaking myself out worrying about ovulation! when will I learn This TTC does take it's toll on me sometimes! These are pics of the OPK I did today CD16 & then a pic of the ones I did CD14 & 15, with todays one..I will do another one later, to see if it gets stronger x I am not sure which ovary I will ovulate from, as they both seem to be giving out every so often! Fx the left will win! x

Hi ladies! I did an opk again today, and it was the same as yesterday. I ovulated CD17 last month, but I was hoping to ovulate a bit earlier this month! Fx I am getting cramps again today, left & right! Fx I ovulate a lovely little egg, that will be a sticky bean Smile x We have managed to DTD CD 14 & 15, as well! If I get a BFN this month! I simply will wonder what the heck is wrong with me! Hmm Fx it won't come to that! My DH has agreed to get a sperm analysis done this month, if I get a BFN. Better to know all is ok in that regard!

Ela I hope you feel better soon! Nothing worse! My DH & DS had that last month! Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, but sip them so that you don't puke it back up x

1More I hope you are ok x

Hey ladies! My temps have been rubbish this month :-( they're a teeny bit higher today but considering I'm on cd15 thought I might be ovulating soon! Did have tiny cramps on one side last night but then had diarhrea and vomiting this morning so more likely down to having a bug it seems!

Sorry to hear about the BFN 1moretime I sometimes get browny or reddish blood after dtd, stringy sounds positive though, I've not had any of that so far this month!

Xxx

laurano81 · 30/06/2014 23:08

Do you think you are going to ovulate soon? I have had cramps on & off today, coupled with watery CM , so ovulation is on it's way Smile Fx

OP posts:
laurano81 · 30/06/2014 23:05

Hey 1More Smile ,
Sorry you got a BFN Sad
Was the blob of blood red or brown? I had some pinkish cm before around ovulation, but I was on herbs that the acupuncturist gave me. Also I had a mild cervical eversion, so I often bleed after DTD, before I went to a gynae in Hungary & I'm fine since x

you can write your stats like this:
name, age, temp, ttc#, cycle, CD, CM

Hello lovelies :-)
Im not too bad thank you. I had the faint faint line on the Monday the day after af, but then a BFN on Tues & Wed last week. I guess it was an evap line or mc??
I am on cd12 today & when me & dh got intimate earlier Blush he got alot of stringy dc which had a blob of blood tinge to it??
Never ever had this...pleased about the stringy cm but what the hell is the blood blob?
I have had a few cramps today...nothing major.

Awww laura really hope you get the +opk soon hun. You and dh have been busy ;-)
Keep it up & fx for bfp this cycle x

Hi Ladies I have been feeling wrecked since my acupuncture session..I think I am coming close to ovulation, as I am getting cramps in my ovaries! I really hope I get my OPK's tomorrow! I sent an email asking where they were on Friday. I was assured I would get them by Monday! Well I just will have to wait & see. Otherwise I probably will miss the LH surge! Hmm! Enough whining...how are the both of you doing? We managed to DTD CD 8, 10, 12 & 13 so far! My DH has been up for work at 4/5 am some mornings, so I have had to change my game plan, as he is usually snoring by 8pm. I'm hoping to continue DTD right to several days after I ovulate. Well that's the plan anyway! Smile x

Hi Ela
I'm glad you are feeling better x Honestly I wouldn't blame you for being down in the dumps! You are well entitled to feel that way. You are better off acknowleding that & dealing with it, so you can lt it go! Your child will bring so much joy into your life that it will heal all the pain you endured TTC. x (((Hugs))) x

I'm feeling a bit better today thanks laurano, the in ritual irritation has subsided thankfully! Did notice yesterday someone I went to school with was also announcing her pregnancy after only being with her bf about 4 months so that also annoyed me but I'm over it! I just think our child when they're ever conceived are going to be the most wanted and special gift. It's just hard to remember that sometimes when babies / pregnancy is EVERYWHERE!!
Hope you're both well and fx for your BFP 1moretime xxx

Hi 1moretime I hope you saw my post for you on the July bus! Fx your bleed was implantation bleeding! If I were you I would POAS again with FMU with a FRER, as I couldn't cope being in limbo land! What were your temps today? Also what are your stats?

Ela & 1moretime What do you think about us writing down our stats every day, so that we can keep track & see a pattern! x Say like the way I have written mine above!

Hi Ladies Smile

Ela I know how you feel! Honest! I know I am only TTC 8 months, but I have wanted a baby for years! My Dh & I are together more than 6 yrs,...all his friends meet & got pregnant really fast! For example we were together 3 years, when his friend rang him & said that him & his OH were expecting! They were together 6 months! No exaggeration! I felt so cross, cos I really wanted a baby, but my DH wasn't ready! Even before we were married, his ex had gotten married & had 2 babies! I was like slow Joe or what! Now we are married almost 9 months & still have no BFP! Well that is not from the lack of trying or not wanting a baby! We are both ready & stations go! So I too feel it is so unfair! Everyone is pregnant! Why not me! But I give myself a good kick up the butt & say you have to get on with it! We simply have no choice! xx Fx for you my lovely! I hope you feel better soon! & I really hope & pray you get your BFP this month! xx

Awww bless you...its hard isnt it?
This forum has helped me stay off fb haha. Im now a mumsnet addict instead!

Im confused hun as i done a hpt yesterday as someone pointed out that my temps are still above my coverline & i have had af...they normally fall before, during or after but they havent gone below cl yet.
Bfn but when i went to put it in the bin (i left it on window sill) there was a very very faint line...evap line i dont know!
Af stopped on Sunday and today i have had cramps & creamy ewcm...i really dont know what my body is playing at!

ELA88 · 25/06/2014 18:29

It was just one announcement too many and I just lost the plot! Another popped up tonight and am now considering deleting Facebook and becoming a recluse for the next however many months! Am so fed up! Work being rubbish doesn't help because I can't even escape there it's just more stress! Argh! !!

1moretime · 25/06/2014 18:29

Thanks Laura. Yeh i do think it was af hun...weird though as my last 2 periods have been alot lighter & shorter than what i used to get.
I guess after i have temped a few more cycles i will beable to understand it all a bit better. Xx
