Hope the cramps are implantation and not AF Pulled.

Sorry to hear that Hope

I have had a lazy day due to having a cold and it being so cold outside. I just hate the 2ww as it goes so slowly, despite the fact I have a shorter than average LP so don't need to be patient for as long as the rest of you.

Sorry for af hope.best of luck next cycle.hope shorty and fuzzy and all the ladies are having a lovely sunday.

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 14:25

I will try the gel next cycle as well if I don't get a BFP next week. Thanks for the tip Shorty.

Ooh thanks shorty have ordered some of the gel just now! Smile

Shortybabe · 17/01/2016 09:30

I used CB opk and if (both drive me mad) but glad I did in a way as I ovulated on cd22 and I think without opk I wouldn't have dtd that day. I also used pregnacare as did hubby. Also balance active fertility gel from boots.
Sorry you're not feeling great Kellz. Good luck this month to u and all. X

Hopelass · 17/01/2016 08:03

I'm out for this month AF showed up yesterday Sad I think my cycle is still bit erratic after the pill (came off in November). Going to try epo and agnus castus this month. They worked with DS Grin
Anyone have any other suggestions I'm all ears!! Onwards and upwards.
Best of luck for those in the 2ww!
Huge congrats to those with bfp's and hugs for those also caught by the witch.

Pulledapart2015 · 16/01/2016 21:14

hi all,
Sorry I've lost track of the thread so just gonna say hope u all are doing ok.

cramps continue and I'm rather hormonal Angry it's 11dpo for me today. so hard not to symptom spot but I've really been trying not to. AF due in 3 days so at least not long.

best of luck to all poas'ing soon x

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 21:10

Yes they were Itterly and I had to take eight a day. I have moved since then but tempted to drive back and ask for more if I don't get my BFP soon!

Kellz92 · 16/01/2016 20:58

Hi Mimi no news here, AF finished yesterday, still getting cramps slightly which is weird but I'm having a really bad day for my fibro so aching head to toe. Getting ready to start dtd and hope that this is my month xx

UtterlyMonkey · 16/01/2016 20:25

Thanks Sinorita and Fuzzy. I've had reflexology too. I'll try acupuncture and see how that goes. Was the Chinese herbs courtesy of the acupuncturist, Fuzz??
Baby dust and happy, wonderful pregnancies to everyone else 😘😘😘 xx

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 20:10

Thanks Hoggle.

Hopefully you have managed to do just enough jennie.

When I got pregnant after my mc Utterly, I used pregnacare conception, evening primrose oil, OPKs (both IC and Clearblue), acupuncture and some strange Chinese herbs that I was given to increase my body temperature. It did work.

Sounds like there will be lots of us Signorita and I hope we all have good news.

Oh fuzzy and mimi - just decided I might join you for an around the 25th poas - should be late by then. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as I don't feel anything apart from a bit of light stretching. But I remember feeling that with DS1, so who knows? I keep imagining I'm feeling queasy too, but I'm hoping that's just imagination - if by any chance I do get a BFP I certainly want to keep sickness at bay for a couple of weeks yet!!!

utterly - hugs. It can't be easy for you when folk like me pop up and say 'I hope I fall quickly', so sorry if that upsets you.

Hoggle - how pleased you must be - here's to a sticky bean for you!

I couldn't remember which conception chat I had posted on already - as I don't post regularly enough for it to stay in my 'I'm on' list!

UtterlyMonkey · 16/01/2016 18:32

All BFPs - are you ladies using OPKs, pregnacare, and sperm friendly lube? I'm trying to think of anything else I might try... 6 months of trying after mc is a long time in TTC world!! 😐
Anyone here on IVF, as we're seriously considering it now that my 40th is creeping up on me!!

jennielm · 16/01/2016 14:03

Hi all,

Based on the limited info i have to hand i'm taking Drs word that 2nd Jan bleed to 7th Jan (and a bit after coil removal) was AF and by best guess should be ovulating now(ish)...DTD has been a bit intermittent but DH has flu today and i think it could be a good day for it...timing sucks!! At the very least it's a fact finding mission for us this month. Oh well, fingers crossed to no AF and BFPs for all those on the dreaded wait and I'll be testing about 2nd Feb if AF doesn't make an appearance before then Smile

HoggleHoggle · 16/01/2016 13:37

Hi all, good luck fuzzy and mimi on the tww. I hope it passes v quickly for you.

Sorry utterly, will be crossing fingers for you for next month.

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 12:29

Good luck. Mimi. I am not totally sure when AF is due but I think it is 26th. Hopefully we will be have good news in the last week of the month.

Hello everyone and sorry I have been a bit slack.

Welcome to the newbies, huge congratulations Hoggle and commiserations to those with AF.

I got a positive opk on Wednesday and have DTD very early Monday morning, Wednesday, Thursday and last night. Really hope that is enough and will try again tonight, but have a horrid cold and I think I ovulated on Thursday anyway. Am fairly sure I am in the 2ww now, which luckily for me is only 10 days due to my LP, but I have given up testing as my new year's resolution so will just have to see if my stomach starts bulging and a baby pops out in nine months now. Smile

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

UtterlyMonkey · 15/01/2016 20:00

Hi everyone!! Congratulations shorty, hoggle and mimi 👍
So I've done the test. I couldn't wait until tomorrow, (especially as I've had a stinking cough for weeks and hadn't dared take anything just in case).
A great, disappointing BFN. How disheartening 😔
Ah well. Am holding on for the next round! 😜 xx

Shortybabe · 15/01/2016 00:28

Ive been thinking that the last few days f1ddlesticks. Think u feel every preg symptom under the sun on tww then bugger all after bfp. Defo not in a hurry for sickness though. X

f1ddlesticks · 14/01/2016 21:56

Nice to hear updates from you both Shorty & Hoggle - I remember those stretching sensations from last time... Look forward to feeling it again!

Funny though, that we imagine so many symptoms in the 2WW, but once you get a BFP there aren't that many til morning sickness strikes. I remember feeling completely un-pregnant until about 7/8 weeks!

HoggleHoggle · 14/01/2016 21:19

Hi mimi good to hear from you, glad all is ok. I can sympathise with not being into it this month, maybe you needed a quiet month? It's really exhausting and I was starting to get so fed up. It will happen though, I know it!

No symptoms really...still got quite sore boobs although with ds they were agony and it's not like that. Like shorty I've been feeling lots of stretching sensations, really clearly. I remember that happening with ds so it's interesting to see what is different/the same. I'm an anxious person so I find the wait until a scan awful, but am trying to keep relaxed.
