SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - Supporting eachother on TTC journey

Tee-heard that aspirin causes bruises.

Jodders- woo hoo high temp again is really good news. My temp at that dpo was dropping dramatically! So fingers crossed xx

Hello everyone.

Update-
I had scan today, was no bean in there hiding. The sonographer said nothing is jumping out at her and can't see anything untoward so I think I can relax a bit and take that as good news! She said the pains sound like crazy hormones. The results go to gp but lady was assuring me I think?!
Period slowing down now so hoping i will slowly get back to normal cycle. Still have gynae appt on Tuesday which my mum is babysitting for.

Did a fsh dip test yesterday as I ordered a HomeKit and it was negative. So that is good (if positive -means high fsh levels as I previously had so I really am hoping this is all good news and things might start clicking back into action.

Thanks for your ongoing support girls X

I ovulated on cd14 last month I think so around Thursday next week. So might dtd Wednesday Thursday and Friday to make sure covered. I'm not going to opk so will just go with how I feel etc

I've been having cramps and twinges today ... If was in tww would be reading into it but obviously nothing is happening! Goes to show how mind goes crazy

Jodders everything crossed for you!

Tee no DTD for me yet either oops will correct that tonight!

Good work radders, what day do you think you'll ovulate? I reckon it will be next Saturday for me - day 16

Finished work early for the bank Hol, and the sun is out

CD8

Jod looking really positive!! Super excited. Remind me when you ovulated and when you dtd?

We are dtd every other day this month and a bit more round ovulation maybe. Dtd cd 6 so on it again tonight.

FW comes round so quick again! Shame tww doesn't feel so quick.

Nice long weekend for us :) xx

Hope DH starts to cooperate more Tee. I feel guilty cos my DH wanted to get it on last night but I was too damn tired!

I have a clear blue. I was really put off FRER after the indents I kept getting last month. I haven't ever used a CB before though. It says I can use from the four days before but I wanted to be sure which is why I left it. I honestly would rather see AF than a negative especially at this point of my cycle. I'm actually afraid to test tomorrow but I have a birthday party so I need to know whether to drink or be designated driver.

CD 27 (13/14 DPO)

Eeeekkkkk that is all!! I resisted. I didn't test. Tomorrow it is. No AF. Temp 37. Sensitive boobs.

Hello day 8 you've come around quick better dial up the DTD!

Podcast recommend for podcasters - Fertility Friday! Really interesting fertility chat, lots of useful information eg cervical mucus and charting, preconception nutrition, sleep and fertility blah blah - there's loads.

Happy Friday everyone

Sorry nim and purple and for you xx

Fx jodders!

FF says period is due Sunday so going to try to hold off til Saturday morning to test. Just bought a dual pack of the clear blue tests. You know the one with the normal test and the digital with conception indicator. I have never used CB before but as you know I don't have a good history with FR so giving these a go. I don't feel like this is my month though.

Sorry Nim So is there just me left to test this month?? Oh man!!!

CD1 AF has properly arrived. Decided to be positive though. I spent way too much this month, had to borrow from the baby fund, so I need another month to save up.

CD4

Jodders/Nim -The first month of the pill my luteal phase was short too. I crazily googled luteal phase defect and started to panic. Next period gave me a huge lp length of over 20 days! Crazy. So think body has to adjust. Jodders- that is looking good for you, creamy CM and high temp.

Sorry purple about AF, hope pain eases soon. Well done though for losing that weight, that is great!! Keep it up. :)

Nim- hope it's not AF for u and just implantation spotting or something. Hope it won't spoil your holiday. X

Still bleeding a bit, but much lighter- so am hoping they will still do a scan tomorrow.

CD26 (12/13 DPO)

Sorry to hear AF got you and it's so painful purple that sucks!

My cramps have gone NIpples still tender and creamy discharge. Slept well last night. Temp back up to 36.7. I don't know if I will be able to test tomorrow as I have a very early start and away for the weekend. Might have to wait til Saturday which I suppose isn't a bad thing right?

Nim - how's things?! Are you testing tomorrow?

CD1... AF woke me up at 5 today, cramps killing me. It doesn't even come in the afternoon, to give me a chance to wonder if it's late. I've started the treatment for the supposed bites and have talked to a doctor friend who said that if the treatment ends before fw I can get pregnant and it won't be a problem.

In other news, today is weigh-in day and I've lost 1.3kg! Cramps today didn't let me go running - it's so bad I considered phoning in sick, but I've taken painkillers and should be fine.

While writing this I just received a text from the GP office asking me to schedule an appointment about yesterday's blood test results. That can't be good.

Good luck Nim and Jodders, the odds are now more than even in your favour!

Nim I had my first proper one since Mirena last month and it was heavy and painful so I would say to stock up on painkillers just in case. Weirdly mine also arrived Early at 10dpo last month!

Hi all.

I'm here on holiday and I haven't tested but I think I'm out. Dark brown spotting. Could be very light AF. Early!I'm only 10dpo so that gives me a lp of 9days. Not long enough. I'm disappointed, it could be implantation spotting but I'm not hopeful. I've had spotting last cycle too. I planned to test after the weekend but I don't think I'll need to as I suspect AF will be in full flow. The first proper one since the mirena came out so I'm not sure what to expect.

Your not out until your out Jod. Fingers crossed for you.

Nada ladies no spotting (maybe I imagined that one smidge when I wiped)
Still vagina cramping but not quite as bad as I was. Nipples sore. Had to have a nap this afternoon. Still thinking though that I had a lot of these same things last month and I wasn't PG. I guess time will tell. Glad to see you are all doing well!!

Russ- beetroot I like so will make sure I have it frequently from now. Yes look forward to hear what they recommend to eat etc..

Tee- yes we posted together. Oops glad u ok.

Jem- I have dress envy. :) so sweet that they are getting hitched after all this time.

Must admit- is boring part of cycle. Can't even dtd yet. I think I'm too tempted to opk and bit addicted to temping now. It is intriguing.
Think I might book myself up in tww so I'm a bit distracted.

Jodders- anymore spotting?

Cd 12

Thanks for that radders!! have ordered!

My manflu has turned into a cough. Bit of ewcm, today so that was good. Need to get well to get on the dtd train soon!! Ov expected sometime over the weekend or next week (bit unpredictable). Feeling positive about this month (aren't we all trying to??)!

That's pants purpleowl!! I would also seek a second opinion to see if there is something else that can be tried...

Just seen this in Groupon if anyone's interested
