heather you should definitely take advantage of every opportunity to dtd.... Have fun

MissMonkey · 19/01/2015 21:12

Evening ladies,

How are you all? Any news yet from those of you in the tww ?

mylittle your not alone I get really really depressed every month and get so frustrated with everything.

bovnydazzler I'm not sure if I got ovulation pains but when we dtd on the two peak days it really hurt on my right side as though it was swollen???? I'v got an appointment with my consultant next week so I will mention it to him. Oh and I think heather is right you should poas, fingers x for you

Heather24 · 19/01/2015 07:33

Hi bovnydazzler

I'm the same v impatient! I got my BFP with 3 of my previous pregnancies at 10 dpo, so deffo worth poas. Let us know fingersx

Bovnydazzler · 19/01/2015 06:57

Hi heather, :) for positive OPK. I'd Defo go for it regarding lunch time session.

I'm 8dpo and very tempted to POAS tomorrow (impatient...). Last month clomid caused me to feel really nauseous with sore breasts In the run up to AF, so I think I'd take no symptoms as a good sign weirdly.

Anyone else testing soon?

Heather24 · 18/01/2015 23:14

Hi how is everyone? Any updates?

Ive just got my smiley face- day 22 we dtd Thursday night and tonight, I'm thinking of getting him to nip home in his lunch hour tomorrow as I'm on a night shift tomorrow night, typical!! :( what do you think? Xx

Bovnydazzler · 16/01/2015 21:06

Evening all!

Sorry you're going through ovulation stress heather, it's exhausting and frustrating keeping it up. I'd ignore the average that you would ovulate 5-9 days after pills end, everyone is different. I think my ovulation occurred 10-11 days after on cd day 19-20. Have you been doing OPKs twice a day? I only got a positive pm on cd 18, it was negative in on cd18 morning and cd19 morning so it is possible to miss it. However I second nomio in requesting bloods to check you did ovulate to review dosage, you're on the lowest dose at mo is that right?

mylittle sorry your husband wasn't in a DTD mood that is so frustrating, especially if you're contending with clomid symptoms. There is a good chance you may have caught it though on the cd12 DTD, you're not out yet.

don'ttellme are you nearing testing time?

missmonkey sorry you had AF. Good luck with cycle 2. Did you have ovulation signs on cycle 1? If not I'd go back to your consultant to request tests to check dose is right.

I'm 5dpo, no symptoms yet but wouldn't expect any at this point. Less bloating than first clomid cycle after ovulation so I'm happy about that. We DTD for fun rather than TTC yesterday, it was nice just to do it without worrying about baby making!

Nomio230 · 16/01/2015 19:54

Hi heather, so sorry to hear you are still so confused. I would get a blood test if possible so you will know whether or not you did ov. If you didn't, then maybe you need to up your dose. I know it is hard, but I am sure you will get your bfp eventually.

Heather24 · 16/01/2015 15:13

Mylittlesandme5 you could still get pregnant from dtd on cd12 they hang around for a good few days in there! Fingersx don't give up hope yet xx

I'm even more confused now with this stupid cycle, I could cry!
Still no smiley face and the lines seem to be getting fainter now, they're practically non existent on the eBay cheapie opk and much fainter on the clearblue digital.

What the hell is going on? Maybe I should go and get my progesterone bloods done next week which will confirm. We have been dtd every other day since cd14 but daren't stop just incase lol I'm knackered :(

I hate this stress soooo much :(

Mylittlesandme5 · 16/01/2015 11:22

Sorry about AF missmonkey! Good luck with round two!!

OP posts:
Mylittlesandme5 · 16/01/2015 11:19

Heather apparently (Google tells me) they grow 1-2mm a day, so if yours were 10mm?? You have big follies...wahoo!!

Mylittlesandme5 · 16/01/2015 11:15

Hi girls!

I have a two year old chattering away to me so I am not able to concentrate enough to read everyone details properly. I got the general jist. I'm glad we can off load here!

I hope you are all doing well and are finding some kind coping techniques...I am sure I am not the only one who finds clomid physical, mental and emotional hell! I took a week off my obsessive googling. It was getting on top of me.

Well I last dtd on cd12 PM and ovulated cd14 AM. Hubby was too 'tired' to dtd cd13 and then we had a big fight on the day i ovulated. He was being an ass, he admitted it and apologised, but that won't fixed this cycle. LOL. Oh the joys. I am convinced this cycle is a bust and I will be amazed otherwise.

If I get a BFN at the end of the month my consultant has said I can arrange a review appointment for anything other than clomid. It makes me so depressed. Anyone else get really depressed?

It seems a few of us are in the tww together. All the best!

Heather I am so sorry about your miscarriage :(

Heather24 · 15/01/2015 22:44

Missmonkey sorry to hear af has arrived, fingers crossed for this cycle and we will all keep you calm and relaxed xx

Nomio230 I'm very jealous of your short cycles lol wish this smiley face would hurry up as it's costing me a fortune in clear-blue opk's

Just a quick question for you all, I had a scan on cd12 and my follicules were apparently 1.0 surely they'd be mahusssive by now seeing as I'm on cd20 tomorrow?

Nomio230 · 15/01/2015 22:19

I am on cd18 Heather, so very similar to you. Luckily I have quite short cycles, about 26/27 days, so only another week to go. I am sure the days will fly by (not) Hmm

MissMonkey · 15/01/2015 22:06

Evening ladies, hope your all well.
Af arrived late last night so now I can start my second round tomorrow..... I'm going to try to relax this month ( who am I kidding lol)

heather so sorry to hear about your mc and hope you get your smiley face soon, the darker lines are a positive. I was the same when I read you should ov 5-9 days after last tablet but I didn't ov until 13 days after (cd 19) so don't give up hope yet.

bovnydazzler and nomio fingers x for your 2ww, it definately is the worst because you can't do anything but wait and your right it goes so slowly

donottellmetorelax that's really exciting and something I haven't yet come across so it possibly may be implantation, fingers and toes x

squeaky I have never heard about massages before, what did that involve? My sisters both were born in April and they love being close together and being able to celebrate together so go for it.

Heather24 · 15/01/2015 15:47

I'm on cd19 Nomio230

Where are you? X

Nomio230 · 15/01/2015 12:54

Hi squeaky that is really good new. I would say to start trying now, as you don't know how long it could take. I have a niece & nephew with birthdays a week apart & we just have a joint party for them.

heather What cd are you on? I have ovulated 3/4 days late the last 2 months & it drove me crazy waiting, so can sympathise. Fx for your smiley face!

Heather24 · 15/01/2015 11:31

Ooo that sounds interesting, haven't heard about that before. Where do you live?
If I don't get a smiley face today I'm gonna scccrreeeaamm!!!

Squeakyheart · 15/01/2015 10:12

Just waiting for AF then we will start. Last time on cycle two, the one that worked, I took day 14 off and had a massage to reduce cortisol levels. I have no idea if there is any scientific basis to this but it was a damn good excuse! Really tempted to do it again but am only just back at work and I would need to arrange childcare but it would be lovely!

Heather24 · 14/01/2015 23:27

Hi squeakyheart,
That's great news :) so what's the next step for you?

Id say go for it, my 2 youngest have their birthday 3 days apart and have a joint party so it's not too bad xx

Squeakyheart · 14/01/2015 22:11

Hi all, new consultant was lovely and said yes! Then lectured re weight but still trying to lose it anyway. Only got home and started doing the maths and if I conceived on second cycle it would be a December baby and DD is a jan baby so it would be an expensive time so part of me thinks wait and the other part thinks go for it!

Sorry about your bfn miss monkey, and what a confusing time heather24,

My HSG was awful so luckily new Dr decided I didn't need it.

Heather24 · 14/01/2015 16:32

I started clomid as they couldn't get me in for my hsg initially but then they rang with a cancellation, luckily we'd not had sex. X

Donttellmetorelax · 14/01/2015 15:53

oops, sorry, the last message is for Heather24
