First time TTC - thread 2

Weird that your temp bounced up though, no?

Just did another digi OPK - still a flashing face! So. Confused.

Oops forgot to attach my chart before. Temp is really down so definitely not hopeful for +hpt.
Ah right pjs, hopefully everything will settle soon after coming off the pill then. I really didn't rate the pregnacare tablets so have just switched to folic acid. I read quite a few bad reviews online but obviously people only tend to write reviews when they want to complain!
difficult your symptoms sound really good for pg - Let us know when you test, fx for you!

I'm on the pregnacare tablets as well Eva! Wondering if I should just switch to regular folic acid.

How annoying for you - def test again on weekend if there's still nothing. What's your temp doing at the moment?

Yep - mega early for me to be getting flashing smiley face. Testing again later and using cheap opks as back up just in case! This is my fourth cycle after coming off pill, but only second properly TTC. I did have one 22 day cycle (in between 32 day and 34 day cycles) so can't be sure this won't be a short one!

My boobs have got a bit tingly and sensitive (nipples are itchy!) but nothing uncomfortable in general and I haven't noticed them grow! Haha

I'm thinking I need to test I. The next couple of days. I wasn't exporting a normal cycle after being on the pill but I've been on it less than a year.

I'm feeling better today, but yesterday i had to go home and sleep. Ended up with a migraine which I've never had before, so didn't know what was going on at first.
I must just generally be under the weather as a few warts have sprung up on my right hand too which I haven't had for years.
Either way I'm much better today despite a dull achey back which I expected after being horizontal for most of the day yesterday.

I've spotted spotting now. It was so slight that it was only there when I wiped, nothing shown in my underwear.
No signs of AF on her way. I usually get terrible cramps but that hasn't started yet, just mild low pinchy feeling a bit like a dull stitch.

pjs no I haven't tested since Saturday. If AF doesn't arrive by the weekend then I'll test again on Saturday but I really think those stupid pregnacare tablets have messed up my cycles. My previous 2 were almost identical. I don't feel anything pg or AF wise - feel completely normal, except sore boobs yesterday but think that was due to the run and too much jangling about for them lol.
Oh bloody hell - surely it can't be like another 10days of highs!! That's really early to get a high isn't it? Like you say though better to be monitoring to not miss ov with it only being your second cycle.

How annoying - are you still testing Eva? AF is such a total turbo bitch sometimes

I started on the digi opks yesterday and got a low yesterday, then an unexpected high today! Am on CD8 so very confused/gearing up for another flashing smiley face marathon. Going to test again later to make sure. Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh I hate my cycles!!!!

difficult hope you're feeling better today? Spotting could be anything, no point worrying about pcos, Google has got you thinking the worst! When are you testing?
pyjamas a bit frustrated actually, still no AF??? Grr I wish she would stop taking the p*ss that woman ha! here's my chart, ff says AF due tomorrow, Ovia said it was due yesterday (although admittedly I've not really been using that properly, only putting in AF, BD and +OPKs, no temps). Ah back to the monitor days for you - hope it isn't as crazy as last month this time.

Eva - sure did :) actually enjoying the rest! Haha

I can't help but Google search what's happening and brown spotting instead of period is apparantly sign of pcos
So worried

Thanks. I'm just sorting a few bits out at work and then I'm heading back to bed.
Weird thing is I could have sworn I was preggers 2 days ago before the spotting started, so generally feeling bit down. Silly really. I know it's unlikely, but was surrounded by babies all weekend so never helps

Aw difficult get some r&r tonight, sounds like you're really under the weather

Hi Eva - sorry to hear about impending AF, how are you feeling about it all?

I'm on CD7 and started with the digi opks today as I'm still unsure on cycle length. Would rather waste a few sticks that miss ovulation altogether! I got a low which was expected as it's the first day and setting baseline.

Had reassuring chat with my mum last night - she said her AF only ever lasted 2 days (one day normal, the next really light and totally gone by the third) - exactly the same as me!

Sorry to hear your feeling crap difficult - sounds like a summer cold

I am a total mess this morning. Went to bed with headache, woke up with headache, sore throat, runny nose and what seems to be a sore eye too! Feel like I am falling apart. When AF arrives that will be the cherry on top

eva im on CD31 now, light brown spotting, very gassy but no cramping. No sign of AF as of yet.

givingitago good luck for the 2 weeks of craziness! did you manage to get a lot of bd'ing in over FW?

Welcome elmwood and shoney - sorry for AF elmwood. I too thought as soon as I stopped bc I'd get BFP but had to readjust my thinking to its a long process and each month only 25% chance of getting a sticky even with perfect timing. We'll all get there in the end are you ladies charting/temping/using opks etc?
I'm on cd31 now. Previous cycles have been 29 & 30 days but ov was cd17 this cycle instead of cd15 previous cycles. So I'm expecting AF tomorrow or weds, big temp drop today to near baseline confirmed she's on her way.
pjs how you getting on, which day are you starting with cb monitor?
busy how's things, any symptoms yet?
difficult no sign of AF? What cd are you on now?

Start of the dreaded 2WW today...just hoping I can keep my mind occupied enough for it to go quickly!

Afternoon would like to join, this is our first time trying to conceive, i finished the pill mid January then had a period. Had occasional spotting over the next five months, ovulated June (although didn't realise at the time) then had my first proper period 21st June and then began trying. We went on honeymoon and had a great holiday but didn't actually think about me having longer cycles and I think we my have missed the boat. I had a forty day cycle and got my 2nd period 31st July. We now have been ovulation strips and testing daily to see. So far nothing but if I have a longer one not looking to ovulate till nearer the end of August so praying for it to work. At the moment trying to do it every couple of days. Both just so anxious to be parents. Fingers crossed it work this time.

I'm being good with the alcohol intake the past week as I had a works do and got so horrendously drunk that i felt pickled for a good few days after

Hope you feel better soon.

pj no sign of AF yet and brown spotting seems to have stopped. Effectively on CD 30 now so will wait it out a little longer. I had pink spotting 11 days ago for 2 days so no idea what my body is trying to do

Welcome elmwood - sorry AF got you i just had my first TTC cycle as well and I found AF's arrival really disheartening. But, I tried to look at it on a positive side - my disappointment showed me I that I am ready to start a family.

How are you getting on difficult? Any sign of AF?

I'm nursing a bit of a hangover today - was supposed to go to the gym this morning, but ended up watching crap telly instead. Oh well!! The OPK POAS begins again this week, so I'm enjoying the relaxed feeling while it lasts!

Think AF may show up any time soon

I have had cramps since Monday without no show of anything but just found vey light tinge of brown down there after DTD

Likely to hit me with avengence tomorrow no doubt

Hi! Hope it's ok to join. My husband and I agreed to "see what happens but not actively try". I then got my hopes up when seemingly felt a few symptoms of early pregnancy (tiredness, really sore boobs, needing to pee often) but then AF visited today. I am devastated. This is only our first month of trying and I know it is so naive to think it will happen as quickly but I am just so sad! Probably hormonal too!

Glad you are feeling better eva sounds like just what you needed to get your mind off it.

Sounds like your in the sweet spot pj! Enjoy it!

That's a good idea jj no point pushing to do stuff which just causes more stress or worry just do what's right for you =]
