So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Read this the other day and it helped me mentally. Mother Nature is a difficult creature

Glad to hear she's still not come jod

radders! Why were you crying at work? I hope you're okay. Cramping is normal for PMS and BFP so nothing to hang your hat on sadly.

footprints mentally cheering on the sperm is brilliant. I think a little prosecco can't hurt!

tee you poor thing that sounds awful. Hope you feel better soon.

I seem to have swung 360 from convinced AF coming to being mentally pregnant now. Dangerous as could be in for a big fall next week 😕

Cd23 even!! Star

tee sorry to hear you have been so poorly. Sounds awful. Hopefully you're on the mend

I still have mild period like cramps so anxious to see if AF comes tomorrow. I still have CM though so doesn't really make sense

I'm going to test tomorrow and if its negative will wait until Tuesday/Wednesday. Tuesday officially AF due

Here I am! What a week 😫 Been totally wiped out with what turned out to be flu. It's been horrific. I don't know if I ovulated before this all kicked off (Sunday), or if those pains on Monday were my ovaries trying to release an egg but couldn't. I've barely eaten a thing all week, although I have forced down the odd brazil nut, dried apricot, and chunk of pineapple! Really wanted to DTD after expected OD but was way to sick by then. Haven't been taking my supplements either because I haven't been eating dinner.
Radders/Sucha, amazing how much BDing you managed!! You've definitely given yourself the best chance.
Jod can't believe you're still waiting for an answer!!
Anyone testing at the weekend??

Jod- are yourboobs usually so sore before AF? I got to CD43!! However I did ovulate late too but was still 23dpo, I had AF cramps that last week before AF. No sore boobs or CM and I was a BFN. I'm positive for u! As really think u are going to be a BFP. When are u testing???
Hope you day gets better for u.Thanks

Sucha- yes I was tempted to get on the prosecco tonight. Every time we dtd just as soon as the swimmers are released I do suddenly say in my head.. "go on you swimmers.. Swim for your life" lol!! Feel bad that it takes over my thoughts. Maybe the prosecco will help concentrate on the moment rather than the possible outcome. Smile

Mimi- hope AF stays away

Radders- yes I was worried about Cystis, as I do suffer a bit from that.

Tee- not heard anything from u- hope u are ok??ThanksThanks

Had a cry at work today - emotional!

I feel like I've got period pains - slighting cramping over the Lower abdomen but I'm not due until Tuesday. Really hope it's not an early AF Sad

No AF and no BFP. Warning; moody cow today! Think I could actually choke someone. Boobs really sore too.

Mimilicious013 · 15/04/2016 09:35

Lol at getting drunk now sucha ,ttc madness 😂. It's nice to know you are in a good mood. Might just be an early symptom Smile

SuchaJem · 15/04/2016 08:27

parney lol at missing the pill! It's true sometimes I wonder if getting drunk might help?!

SuchaJem · 15/04/2016 08:26

radders yes to sexed out! It gets to the point where I'm just getting a bit sick of it! Amazing effort from you both, fx a plucky one got through.

Lightening vagina 😳 something to look forward to!

footprints I stay put and lie down for 5-10 mins but then go for a wee. Every time they ejaculate squillions of the stuff gets up there - hopefully right up by your cervix - so the ones that comes out when you wee were never gonna be part of the party.

How's everyone doing today? I'm inexplicably upbeat today. I've been singing a little African song I was taught at school to myself getting ready for work! DH was like 🤔

Mimilicious013 · 15/04/2016 08:17

Kkkk parney, that thought once crossed my mind haha.
Suddenly feel cramps like af is coming early ((I'm soo scared))

This month I decided not to pee after and try to go straight to sleep Confused I know that it can lead to infections though! Ttc makes me jealous of all the accidental pregnancies! Half thinking I should go back on the pill and miss one!! 😂

Mimilicious013 · 15/04/2016 07:24

Physic your cycles are pretty long hun, hope you get lucky this month. Fx

Jod poas again today? Rooting for you!!

Tee hope u are better.

Footprints I go to the loo just before. Don't want to lose them swimmers either 😂

Lightening vagina lol!!

Parney don't feel pregnant either but maybe implantation has occurred yet .

Mimilicious013 · 15/04/2016 07:07

Radders I think the temp drop could be implantation Grin fx the temp rises tmrw.im impressed with lots of dtd. Your chances are pretty good.

physicskate · 15/04/2016 06:58

Radders I get some dips in BBT during my luteal phase, so you're not out until AF shows! It's meant to not drop below coverline, but mine sometimes does. One day doesn't mean much...

footprints I haven't been on the pill in about 8 years - and FF says to tell my doctor that my cycles are irregular. Pretty sure most people with regular cycles OV around the same CD (give or take)...

EVERYONE not going to the loo after can cause cystitis (which I sometimes get anyway). There is no cuddling after in my house until I've been! Some people get it more easily than others, but I HIGHLY recommend (as a resident science boffin) that everyone go immediately after DTD!!

raddersmrs · 15/04/2016 06:49

I do go because apparently it can cause cystitis if you don't go after and you need it but I make sure I've laid horizontal for 15 mins or so first!
There's always going to be some that escape anyway. I don't think it ever all stays in there!

I think my bbt is starting to drop but I'm not sure which means AF will be coming.

I sort of think I would feel pregnant by now if I was. And I don't. But then again some people have no symptoms do they I suppose

Jod1985 · 14/04/2016 23:43

No I don't go. Remember to go before DTD Grin

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 23:37

Forgot to ask u ladies earlier but this might be tmi so sorry...but do you go to the toilet after dtd? I try not too but sometimes I'm busting, which is really annoying! Worried of losing any potential swimmers.Hmm

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 23:24

CD13

Jod-Ha ha.. I nearly googled that too!
Pillow worked a treat Wink

Radders- that's a lot of dtd! Impressed.

Physicskate- I ov'd late last month cd23 but think I'm ovulating now at cd13, so I'm so pleased I started opks earlier. I guess it can change month to month? For me my body adjusting after pill.

Jod1985 · 14/04/2016 22:32

Its shooting pains due to increased blood flow / stretching. I remember walking along the street and getting it and crying out clutching myself. It felt like I imagine lightening going through would feel like thus my nickname!!

raddersmrs · 14/04/2016 22:01

tee how are you? Are you feeling better?

raddersmrs · 14/04/2016 21:59

Lightening vagina sounds interesting....!

Parney · 14/04/2016 21:57

Haha Jod I was about to google until I saw it's your nickname for it! 😂 Tell me more?!
