Well it didn't take long to think about it..

Sod it, still going to keep track of dates as I need to for my gynaecologist appt. just going to dtd as and when, ditch the opks and Poas until I speak to the expert or get AF. Then go from there.

Still going to take my supplements etc.. Just will have to keep the emotions about ttc to myself.

He really freaks out when things are not simple..

CD 45Star

So no AF, temp 36.45 this morn (still above coverline) bfn on IC. When I held up the test you can see a faint mark but it's just an indent of where test line is. My midwife friend said I'd know by now! So def not.

Couldn't get appt with gp, but managed a telephone call. They want me to wait til I see gynaecologist end of May. To see what is going on. Grrr.. But says it's still too soon after pill to panic. Delayed ovulation is normal after pill they say.. So AF will be delayed if Ovulation didn't happen. Just gotta wait. It's still possible to get more attempts of ovulation in the meantime.

DH wants me to stop all this now and let the cycle get back to normal before ttc. Says I won't be stressed then.. But I'm not sure I can? Once you start u get a bit addicted don't you?! So I've now either to forget it all for a bit or keep tracking in private (already have anyway- so he's only seeing the half of it)?! Gulp.. Hmm

Morning all! Happy Monday! Im kinda gutted now that I didn't do an OPK on Friday and Saturday as I really don't know if I got that Surge or not. Will take an OPK at 2pm today.
So today I feel a bit crampy, watery Cm, high energy and a little frisky still! Don't think we can DTD today as hubby is back at work tonight but we did it again last night. So that's CD 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 & 15. Really hope I have done enough! The fact I'm a bit horny is making me feel I maybe haven't ovulated yet Confused if I was to ovulate today or tomorrow would last nights swimmers still be there? Or would I be out?

Such an exciting week!l for so many!

Foot good luck at GP!

SuchaJem · 16/05/2016 08:23

foot please don't go anywhere! How cruel of ic to tease you like that. Defo try another with fmu.

Sorry it was bfn radders hope it's just too early. Absolutely fair enough you needed to see a test before the day ahead of wondering.

Good work ni, if you ovved yesterday I'd try and do one last DTD tonight if you can!

No symptoms at all from you tee? That sounds promising in itself!

10 DPO for me and I'm just so so so so tired. However I've also forgotten how to sleep it seems Envy am going through a spate of waking up loads and not able to get back to sleep. My mind is whirring! I'm exhausted, though about calling in sick but though better to stick to routine then hopefully sleep will come back. Other than that I've got sore boobs but we all know the boobs can't be trusted.

Going to try and hold out for Friday. Feeling like a long week already!

Tee4me · 16/05/2016 07:42

Well done Nimi, those DTD sound great, you've done everything you can, up to the swimmers now!
Radders, perhaps you implanted super early last cycle. So glad you feel better for it though. I wonder what this week will hold for us! More symptoms hopefully. Still nothing to report my side. Jem anything?? x

Nimisha · 16/05/2016 07:06

Morning all. CD 16 Star. I think I oved yesterday.dtd CD 7, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15 so I hope I'm in the running.

I'm exhausted now, I need an early night to catch up on my sleep. Smep says I should dtd tonight as well but I think I'll give it a miss.

My temp was slightly up this morning so well see what it's like tomorrow.

Footprints this thread is as much yours as ours. Wonky cycle and all.

Jod wow that's impressive. Join me in the dreaded 2ww. I'm going on holiday in a week so I'm really busy, hopefully it won't drag too much. I'm going to have to pack some pregnancy tests to take with me. I'm not going to test until I'm truly late.

Thanks Mimi I've got my fingers crossed.

Good luck Jem, Tee and Radders. Hoping for BFP. Sorry AF got you Physics and Russ.

raddersmrs · 16/05/2016 07:00

Oh yea I know it's super early but I think because I got my BFP this time last month at 9dpo I had that in the back of my mind. Maybe I was going to have twins last month that's why it showed up so early?!

I feel ok actually. I don't feel sick now because I know so can go to work and not think about it! If I didn't do it I would've been worried all day xx

Good luck with GP Footprints, let us know what he/she says.
Radders sorry about the FRER, but I think you know what I'm going to say.... remember implantation is anywhere from 7dpo-13dpo, then you need 3 days of hcg build up before seeing a line. So technically you would have had to implant at the earliest stage of that range to be able to see a line today? You may not have even implanted yet? Chin up, not over or out yet! Smilex

raddersmrs · 16/05/2016 06:46

CD24 - 10dpo

Morning everyone. I woke up feeling so sick and anxious this morning so I used the FRER - BFN which is a bit pants. So whether it's too early or whether it's telling me the truth I'm not sure but I feel bit better for knowing now.

Footprints1 · 15/05/2016 22:25

Thanks for letting me stay on your thread with my dodgy cycle and wonky test lines! Confused must have wonky hormones too Grin

Footprints1 · 15/05/2016 22:23

Yes gold star to Jodders for dtd so much this week! Star

I need to plan my attacks for the month - got a feeling DH going to play hard to get.
Maybe I'll buy him the horny goat weed and slip it in his drinks! Hee hee

Footprints1 · 15/05/2016 22:20

Hi ladies, so excited for u all.Smile

Poas IC today mid afternoon because I was bored and I thought I saw a line but it's just the shadow or evaporation line where the test line should be. I think. Plus its wonky ! Yes a wonky squiffy line! ConfusedSomeone having a laugh somewhere.. Ha

Anyone else see the evap line on the IC ones? Didn't notice it last time I tested. Going to do another in morning with FMU but really think I'm not. Just want to check it out again to see if it happens again .

Bit more positive today in myself and planning diet for next week. Going to carry on incase I ovulate again and just missed AF. No sign of AF yet. Calling gp tomorrow see what they say.

SuchaJem · 15/05/2016 21:45

Jodders you sound super fertile 👍🏼

Rad totally with you. I've got a stash of Internet cheapies plus two frer in the cupboard.

Reckon will test with cheapies and if I get a faint line then jump onto a frer

Hopes are a bit up now Confused really don't want to be let down again!

raddersmrs · 15/05/2016 21:35

Jod definitely another gold star for dtd! Go you :)

It's so tempting to test in the morning but will only be 10dpo. Not even that as only ovulated the night time I think so technically it's not 10dpo until the night!
Ovia is telling me to test on Wednesday.

I know what you mean Jem. I want a BFP so much too... I hate the not knowing and that's why I want to test so much. Even if get BFN it's the fact I know for now....
I don't have enough tests to serial testing though. Only 2 and I'm not buying anymore ... Only a digital if get a positive!

Tee4me · 15/05/2016 21:19

Jodders no need for opks when you're BD'ing that much! You are well and truly covered!! Good that you got all the other signs of ov x

Sorry I have been missing I had friends visiting this weekend and with the weather being so lovely we have been out day and night.
So I missed two days of OPKs Confused today's looks a lot darker than Friday but I don't know if I missed the positive or not.
So far have DTD CD 5,7,9,12,13,14 and will try tonight so 15 too. And then I will hope that is enough!
I have EWCM the last two days, feel frisky, bloated and OV pains occasionally too.
I have everything crossed for everyone to get a BFP this month and June - going to be positive about it!

SuchaJem · 15/05/2016 17:56

radders I think Father's Day is 19 June so not far off your dads birthday. Really hope you get to give him this good news!

Well I must admit I did have the urge to POAS today. DH is away at work until tomorrow so I'll definitely not - but I will also struggle to wait until Friday.

Had some friends over today. One brought her 7 month old daughter. Was so lovely having a baby rolling about on our lawn. Broodiness is through the roof.

Not much by the way of symptoms but boobs still heavy and sore, still nauseous on and off. We walked to the shops this afternoon and I felt overwhelmingly tired and light headed - but then I had a really crappy nights sleep. My heart also still feels like it's beating faster.

God I really want a bfp so much Confused

raddersmrs · 15/05/2016 17:53

Tee it only takes one time to catch so don't get too disheartened. You never know.

Wonder how newhair and January are doing - hope you guys are ok xx

raddersmrs · 15/05/2016 17:47

Would've not wouldn't

raddersmrs · 15/05/2016 17:46

Forgot to add 17th June is my dads birthday ... I take it it's Father's Day that day too?! You guys would've thought why hell 17th June if it wasn't! Haha

I feel really sick today. But again think it's IbS symptoms. If it weren't for my Oh I wouldn't tested today.

I have a FRER and morrisons. I only want to use FMU though so not doing it today. Every morning will be a struggle now! Will crack at some point this week

Mimi I agree with the others, worth going back to reassess, and defo try a different Doctor.
Footprints you are not boring anyone! I think you've done amazingly well containing yourself, I would be climbing the walls. If you can't have a rant here, where can you do it!!
Radders funny you say that about Fathers Day. When I got my BFP in Feb, I ordered a double frame with the word 'Grandchildren' engraved. Planned to put a picture of DS in one, and sellotape a poppy seed with the words 'expected November 2016' in the other. Was going to be our Mothers Day present for my MIL on 10th March. Unfortunately had the mc before we made it to that date, but perhaps it can be a Father's Day present instead! May have to join you and Jem testing on Friday depending on how I'm feeling. Not hopeful though considering how little we DTD in FW, not feeling hot at all, and hardly any CM since OD.

Thank you, ladies! Was half expecting it since everyone is talking about fertility issues after 35 and I'm 40! But not giving up. And now I'm at home full time, will get cracking on. Also heard about acupuncture helping while TTC. Has anybody tried it!? Your thoughts and experience are welcome

Mimilicious013 · 15/05/2016 11:33

Best of luck radders. I like the sleepy symptom. I never could keep my eyes open when I was pregnant with ds2,

Mimilicious013 · 15/05/2016 11:30

Nimisha and jod hope ov has finally come and you managed to dtd at the right time. Best of luck catching the egg((very difficult egg to catch Wink))

Parney hope you and our baby are doing just fine.

Summer, a new cycle new ideas. Am going to try out everything I can this month. Kiwis, rj,asprin,pineapple and looking into epo ooooh and brazil nuts
