sunny because I had an emcs last time due to failure to progress/dilate while DD was getting distressed. Apparently vbac is a lot less likely to work if your reason for emcs was failure to progress. Would obviously discuss options but elcs would be most likely unfortunately :(

SunnyDays1987 · 13/04/2016 12:07

everdene fingers crossed it won't be an issue for you then and hopefully you'll have one of these wonder babies who sleeps through from a few weeks old...!

hanflan Aw nice to see you too! Hopefully we can support each other through the horror of being pregnant with a toddler!!! Why do you think you might have an ELCS? I also had a moment of madness earlier in this cycle but DH said no too! It's right though because if I had another early one it would be over Christmas or DS birthday and I really want to avoid that!

hanflan · 13/04/2016 10:17

everdene we are waiting until next cycle to start trying as didn't want a christmas baby (if I have an elcs at 39 weeks it would bang on xmas day/boxing day haha).
Although I did try to persuade DH to ditch the condom last night in a moment of madness. He said no way, not until next month Grin

Han get shagging! Wink

hanflan · 13/04/2016 09:26

p.s. I actually got a positive opk this morning! Shocker! All my ewcm is totally gone though. I'll ignore that part.

hanflan · 13/04/2016 09:26

sunny oh hiiiiii! Oh my goodness it's fab to have someone here who was on the buses with me last time too. And of course I remember you Grin

everdene · 13/04/2016 09:24

I'll have to be under a consultant I think - it is very mild but a factor nonetheless. But apparently for some women it actually helps because the hormones which can cause seizures are lowered because of the pregnancy!

Then if I do have a baby I'll probably have to express at night so DH can do some of the feeds so I don't disturb my sleep too badly, which definitely does cause seizures.

SunnyDays1987 · 13/04/2016 09:04

Oh I didn't know that Everdene. Will you have to do anything different in pregnancy?

everdene · 13/04/2016 08:19

Fab, I'll order one in that case!

I am epileptic so I had decided not to temp as seizures can make it inaccurate, but I'll try it and see if it's worthwhile!

SunnyDays1987 · 13/04/2016 08:01

everdene might was dirt cheap from eBay too. Probably depends how sharp your temp rise is to whether you can get away with a less sensitive one!

kellz I temped last time but I'm not going to this time because if DS wakes in the night it'll throw it off. He also varies on his morning wake ups so I don't think it would be accurate. Hope your DD is ok

My bbt was £3.50 or something from ebay. I normally temp except this cycle dd has been poorly and in hospital so lack of sleep would make it inaccurate. If you don't want another id give it a go x

I have downloaded Fertility Friend and already have a digital thermometer but it's not a BBT one - do I really need to buy another thermometer? Surely it'll show a rise even if it's not as sensitive? Just wondering if I can avoid searching one out!

Hanflan I'm sure you'll be ovulating. I have one step hpts but it was a home bargains opk, need some one step ones.

Good luck sunny days x

Oh and stats:

Age: 28
TTC2
Awaiting AF next week and then will be on cycle 1!
BFP due end of May ish

SunnyDays1987 · 12/04/2016 17:39

Hi hanflan I was just debating joining this but didn't know if I was brave enough. I'm on the Feb FB group and sent you the OPKs last time. Scary to be thinking of TTC2 isn't it!

everdene · 12/04/2016 17:37

Kellz I've just got some Preseed, haven't tried it yet though Wink

hanflan · 12/04/2016 16:19

Haven't spoken to doc but still very early days so will see how it goes! I used the One Step strips from Amazon, they worked so well for me last time!

When i fell with DD i didnt even try now im cycle 10 :( thought it would be quick.

I normally get a few days but this time ive already had it for a week! and im no where near ov.

han have you spoke to gp? which opks do you use, i never got positive on opk but when i used my monitor i peaked most months

everdene i agree with you if you get periods likely still ovulating thats what keeps me going when i dont get positives,

Have you tried out preseed if you dont get much ewcm, its meant to help the swimmers get to the egg, it acts like ewcm

hanflan · 12/04/2016 15:32

everdene that's a good point. Still regular periods which is reassuring. Maybe I;m just getting very short LH surges and missing them?!

everdene · 12/04/2016 15:19

Yay I was right!

Han I only had EWCM for a single day last month which did worry me.

I think if you're not getting any results on OPKs it might be worth seeing a doctor and also testing at different times during the day? If you're still having periods it's unlikely you're not ovulating.

hanflan · 12/04/2016 14:58

everdene yep, cycle day

hanflan · 12/04/2016 14:57

Speaking of ewcm, I'm getting in a right panic/flap because when I was ttc a couple of years ago my cycles were textbook. Plenty of ewcm, then three days of positives on opk sticks and ovulation pain on the day of ovulation. Cycles aways 28 days, always ov'd on day 15. This time around I barely get any ewcm. I do get ovulation pain, but don't get any positives on opks! Now panicking that I don't ovulate any more Confused

everdene · 12/04/2016 14:46

Sorry to sound dim - what does cd stand for? Cycle day?

Ivory Not tried the FSH test, good luck
Nimisha Good luck
Hanflan Good luck and nothing is tmi

Im cd9, usually ov around cd16/17 however since AF ive had ewcm (AF was like ewcm mixed with blood...sorry tmi) and ive had cramping lower right and in lower middle of stomach (had it when expecting dd so i was hopeful but tests are all bfn) Did an opk last night only the faintest of lines so neg :(

Welcome Han, and I say no subject is too 'ewww!'

My DH is currently suffering a slight abrasion after some over-enthusiastic DTD Grin
