Fingers crossed it's your month hoggle.nothing like last month dear.35 day cycle wld be so long hey.im on cd3 and really need a bfp coz am turning 35 on the 6th.time is no longer on my side

shizzles · 31/12/2015 11:53

waahhaayyyy shorty! big big big congrats to you. post a pic post a pic!!

morning mimi, fxfx and you're right, I'm probably testing too early.

Kellz, just carry on dtd and leave the tech stuff alone for now. I tried all that temping for about a week and decided to just did as often as poss.

Gx, you upduffed? congrats congrats..

HoggleHoggle · 31/12/2015 11:51

Shorty that's brilliant! Congratulations. What a lovely start to the new year.

Kellz that sounds so confusing! It's the main reason I don't use opks at the moment, I did it for one month and got myself in a right tizz. I say go with your intuition.

G I'm not sure if I'm on the tww or not...if my cycle is 28 this month then I am, but if it's 35 days then it won't be the tww until next week. Still dtd eod atm just in case. Last AF was on 11th Dec so I'll be leaving it until mid Jan to test, at the earliest. Really hoping I don't have a repeat of last month.

Kellz92 · 31/12/2015 11:30

I'm going for ovulating on Monday I think as I've had a bit of pain since! I don't really trust the cheapie a but had a few left. I only had two days of high last month after peak yet I've had 4 so far but that means nothing. Been temping and not really had a temp spike either so god knows xx

Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 10:01

Morning shizzles ,let's hope af stays away and bfn is coz u are testing early.fxfx

Kellz , I would go with ur o pain and ewcm , you will know ur body better than the app does , must b so confusing X sounds like o day could b round the corner ! Good luck hope ur doing well Smilexx

Shortybabe · 31/12/2015 08:47

BFP. Can't believe it. Cd36 and 14dpo I think. The line is fainter than control but 100% a line.
Kellz OPKs have driven me literally demented this month. I'd sworn to myself that if this wasn't the month then in jan id bin them and dtd eod from end of af to start of next.

Kellz92 · 31/12/2015 08:40

Hope you're all well today ladies. I need some advice.

Last month on my monitor I went straight from low to peak then a few highs.

This month I have been getting highs since Monday but my other opus are getting fainter. But on Sunday my monitor said that there was an error with my test, and I was out of my testing window so couldn't do another. I've been getting ovulating pain all week and just feeling lots of symptoms so do you think Sunday could have been my peak. On Monday was when the pain started and started getting ewcm. Just don't know. I've never not ovulated before so dunno. Xxx

shizzles · 31/12/2015 07:37

Fuzzy 2016 will be our year indeed so lets kick back, have a Brew and count down to jumping dh

Hello Gx91, with all the different stories re copper coil, I feel like I should have just stuck with condoms. I hate the bloody things only downside to that is permanent maternity leave i suppose

I have poas again this morning and more bfn. I shld be 11dpo today according to my days but i don't even know if thats correct Hmm. The worst bit is i have never before now bothered with knowing the exact length of my cycle so i have no way of knowing whether the info from Ovia and my days is accurate. All i know, going by cm, is that i had a lot of very slippery ewcm on the 19th and slightly thicker with a twinge of ?blood on the 20th. i did feel sharp pains on both sides on the 20th but I've been dtd every day since the 11th (af left 10th) but did not dtd 21,22 and 23 so if the egg came out on those days, did i catch it?

I think i'm going to need a few more cycles before i see a bfp but on the bright side, I get to hang out with you lovelies even more Wink

Gx91 · 30/12/2015 23:19

Hey guys and welcome newbies !
Mimi sorry AF came early cd19 is a surprise ! Hope u enjoy a good cheers to the new year and fx for u ! X

Hoggle- hope u are doing well can't remember if u sed u wer in ur TWW ? Hope it passes quickly for u and we have some lovely news X
Sorry Iv bn catching up on posts and can't remember who said what but I hope ur all doing well and enjoying urselves over Christmas ! X

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 22:30

2016 will definitely be our year - as long as I can be pregnant (with a healthy baby) by this time next year, I will be happy. Otherwise I have decided my 2016 Christmas present will be IVF and that has made me a feel a lot more relaxed about things.

If only I had realised when I was younger and healthier that I would love being a mum and would want several children!

shizzles · 30/12/2015 21:58

our bodies,Fuzzy pick the times we decide to pay attention to mess with our minds. I never monitored my periods previously but now with all these cramps i'm getting I keep wondering if the witch is coming. fx we all get our BFP's in 2016!

I've heard it can take anything from a few weeks to a few years to fall pregnant after the coil! To say I'm worried is an understatement.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 18:40

I think shizzles that I know I can't be pregnant and it is just my body messing around with me. 2016 is going to be my year for another baby though, so am just going to work on the basis I have a bug and a weird cycle - which is almost certainly true.

I know someone who gave birth around the same time as me who got pregnant within a fortnight of having her copper coil removed.

shizzles · 30/12/2015 17:53

Oooohhh mimi that news got my hopes up. I read something today about extending luteal phase- something called cyclogest if I recall correctly. If you've been ttc for 7 cycles maybe you should ask your gp for something?
Fuzzy you're being very calm about it which is very good. I will be banging down the drs door in your situation.
Hi F1ddlesticks. Thank you for that info. I've read several stories about falling pregnant post copper coil and they are all conflicting. Even scientific studies!! So real life experiences are always better. I bought even more test sticks today and I've been symptom so much I think I'm now imagining the symptoms!! If af turns up I will start on high dose epo.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 16:38

Hello, welcome and good luck f1ddlesticks

OP posts:
f1ddlesticks · 30/12/2015 16:36

Hello! Can I join you ladies?

F1ddlesticks
3rd cycle TTC #2 (DD is 2)
Age: 38
Also T1 diabetic & hypothyroid

Currently about 10dpo, no symptoms to speak of!

Someone asked upthread (Shizzles?) about TTC after copper coil. I had one before having DD, it was taken out 6m before BFP, but we weren't TTC during that time (actually we were avoiding it, for health reasons), but she was conceived first month trying. Had same coil again until a August this year, so we're in the same boat.

Have just bought some EPO - will be using next cycle Smile

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 16:30

I don't know about lengthening the cycle Mimi but epo is supposed to give you more ewcm and enable the sperm to survive for longer, which gives you a higher chance of conceiving.

OP posts:
Mimilicious013 · 30/12/2015 16:12

Shizzles if u have an indent we crossing everything for u it becomes a bfp.peyia and gx here got that before their bfps.
Fuzzy have never used epo but want to start now.im so fed up of af showing,this will be cycle 7.any advice on what to take to lengthen cycle.
.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 15:42

I think you can take anywhere between 1000 and 3000 so I just went for the maximum and the first time I tried it, I got pregnant and when ttc afterwards used the same amount.

Maybe but I suspect the doctor will just say these things happen because most women have weird periods at some point. Endometriosis has only ever really caused me pain (primarily, bizarrely, when I ovulate) and it was only invested after a mc because I still had so much discomfort that the hospital wanted to make sure the erpc had been complete.

I am working on the basis the bleeding was AF and will start epo this weekend if I still have a bfn. At least these last few days have reminded me of the unpleasantness of morning sickness.

OP posts:
shizzles · 30/12/2015 15:26

Really? Then that's how much I will be taking if the lady comes.

I hope Dr google is wrong though but as you have endometriosis maybe you should see a doctor about the unusual bleeding.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 15:18

I take 3000mg from start until ovulation and have got pregnant twice doing so. It definitely gives me loads more cm and makes it more comfortable to dtd (I have endometriosis so it can be uncomfortable at times).

OP posts:
shizzles · 30/12/2015 15:04

No I haven't used it since then as I've had the copper coil in. But I recently read it should only be used from start of period to ovulation. I didn't know this back then and took one 1000mg daily for about a month. I only knew it was the go to supplement for female reproductive health. I will use it if the witch turns up.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 14:56

I do use epo every cycle from start until ovulation. Do you use it for longer than that shizzles?
