SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - expecting plenty of BFPs in June!

Tee that's puzzling, wonder if it was the exotic fruit intake? Glad you've seen your doc and getting on top of this. Stripping back to folic acid makes sense.

I was wondering whether or not to use epo again as I've noticed really horrendous PMS and sore boobs throughout the TWW. Wonder if this is a result of taking epo for two weeks then stopping suddenly?

I'm taking it again this cycle as it definitely boosts my cm. If nothing this month then maybe I'll drop it next month.

Morning all CD13
Another smiley face from clear blue ovulation this morning! Guessing I will ovulate today or tonight? Dtd might have to wait till tomorrow as pretty tired today! So far have dtd CD 4 6 8 9 10 11 12

Hi pepper - welcome! Sorry I didn't see your post before as was typing and posting same time.

Jem - I've told my oldest friend tonight - we were doing about getting married, babies etc and I was going to only tell her if she asked but then I felt a bit bad for keeping it from her and just told her. She's so excited!
My manager at work knows too and friend at work who I've spoke to throughout the whole ttc process. So 5 of us know and all of you guys :)
Can't wait to tell my parents but waiting until after scan.

Purple - really sorry to hear. But good sign you can conceive.

Nim let us know how you get on with your test. Good luck.

I'm wishing all of you lots of gas as that has been my main symptom

Hugs purple I hope you're okay hopefully its a sign you are fertile and you'll be back onto bfp soon like radders.

Welcome pepper

Thank you Purple.
So sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better about it soon xx

Hi everyone, hope everyone is well.

AF arrived, so it really was a chemical. Sliding back to square one - funny how that works with the snakes and letters theme.

Feeling sad today, sorry for the short post.

Welcome Pepper!

Thank you *Nimisha
Have felt so nauseous all day today. I'm going by glow that I am cd19 but not sure I had proper AF earlier in month as was so light. Have ordered some ICs so may try one when they get here in case

Congrats *radders - lovely to see a BFP xx

Fx for you testing nim. We have started DTD on day 4 he gets bAck from Joburg tomorrow so lots more DTD coming up.

Hello radders so thrilled everything going well, please keep us updated! Symptoms etc! Have you told anyone yet?

Hi all CD 27 8dpo.
It's lovely to see the big strong BFP Radders. I'm so excited for you. Do you think it could be twins? I looked back and you did get ov pain on both sides!?!

Welcome pepper! It really helps to have people to talk to!

Good luck footprints, I have no idea whether you will ovulate early on clomid, glad you haven't got any side effects.

Have you started dtd yet Jem? Got to keep the swimmers fresh

PS I would keep going at least every other day while you have ewcm, preferably daily.

Wow Jodders, hope the relaxation and nice weather results in a BFP.

Mimi, how your feeling OK, peeing a lot is a good sign but could also be a uti (as I well know having had two recently)

Kate, how are you doing?really busy with work?

Hi tee and purple, hope you're OK.

I'm exhausted as usual so early night for me in a bit. I'm toying with the idea of doing an early test tomorrow. My lp has been so short I haven't really had a chance yet so I won't be too disappointed if it's a bfn. I'll be 9 dpo. I don't have any frer only an I.c.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for asking about me and hope everyone is ok.

Not much to report my side. I did my last test on Sunday and have stopped since then! Thought it was about time. I've attached the last pic - thought that was a good stopping point.

My boobs are tender now. Was so tired yesterday but better today. Confirmed my early scan today - 8th July at 7 weeks. Midwife appointment in for 14th July - day we go on holiday. So just waiting now. Still doesn't seem real and just hoping it's not taken away from me.

Jod hope you have good news upon your return.

Good luck everyone else - get dtd and preparing those swimmers!
Parney hope all ok

Xx

Hi,
Would it be ok to join, am trying ttc my first. Am on cd19 of first cycle.

Haven't told anyone we are trying and would love some people to chat to. Thank you

Hello all CD 6 here, boring

Jodders hope you bring home a little stowaway from your hols

Glad to hear you've had a smooth start on clomid footprints. An exciting cycle for you!

Ps I'd carry on a couple of days I reckon

Radders how are you?

Just had a smiley static on Clearblue - only on day 12 though! Last month got it on day 14??

will jump on husband when he is home tonight!

Then how many days should i be doing it for now?

No I didn't bring a test. If she hasn't shown by the time I'm returning I will be 5 days late! Sometimes I think flying can delay things though

CD5

Glad the holiday has distracted you a bit Jodders . Bet it's flown by for you already. Hope you will get good news when you are back? Or did u take a test with u?

PS-I'd dtd. Like Jem says that cm is vital to push up the swimmers so why not. You can still get a neg opk if have EWCM, and might find you ovulate soon after- you might get your positive later or it might peak in the night.

Mimi-frequent peeing is a good sign!

Summer-hope your man is back in time.

Tee- snakes and ladders it is definitely! Boring part of cycle isn't it. What are your tactics this month?

Radders- hope you're ok and lines are getting darker!

Psychic- hope you are taking the cranberry now u are approaching the f/w?! Hope it doesn't happen again for u.

Hi everyone else X

So no news here for me! Started clomid yesterday, no unwanted symptoms to report. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Got spoilt! :)
I keep forgetting the supplements! But also worried to not take too many with the clomid. Going to opk starting cd7 because I have to take clomid for 5 days and then a big egg should pop out soon after so wondering if I might ovulate earlier? Gynae didn't really say just dtd every other day or every 2 days.

Good luck Jodders!

I am away next week, hoping it distracts me too!

Hi all, been catching up when I can from sunny Gran canaria. CD 25 here! Haven't been thinking much about it all as distracted. Wish I had a two week holiday during every TWW! Only 2 more days til the witch is due. Don't feel PG at all though. Hope everyone else is well!

Trust your body. If you see EWCM then have sex. That kind of cervical fluid sustains the sperm, so that when the egg is released, the sperm is ready and waiting. Remember it takes time for the swimmers to get up the tubes. Egg prefers them to be there ready and waiting.

Ps my cycles are normally 28 days

CONFUSED! CD 12
Tmi alert - just had a clump of egg white cm when going to the loo but a blank circle when doing my clear blue ovulation test this am.
What do I do? We were going to have today as a rest day from DTD, now I feel we should do it tonight? Then that would be four days in a row!! Last dtd yesterday (cd11) morning.
Predicted ovulation is CD 15/16 so wanted to save some swimmers for 13/14!

Bah, just lost a whole post. Needless to say I had a reply for everyone (mostly). Anyway I'll reply tomorrow with a proper post, got to put the kids to bed then it's either bed or game of thrones.

Happy Belated Birthday Footprints hope you had a lovely day xxxx

Cd16 5dpo
Hie everyone
Tee,you nailed it (snakes and ladders) is the best description of ttc.you are almost there and that snake on 99 takes you right back lol.

Hardly slept last night. Was visiting the loo to wee every hour,could that be a symptom?

Ps,you are doing an awesome job,keep it up!!

Fx purple and nimisha(we need your bfps)

Wishing everyone luck this cycle.

Waves sucha,footprints,radders,parney,summer, kate, jod.hope you have a great week

CD11 for me too today! I'm not using opks this time round. In just going to go with the flow. Hubby not around much so will see what I can do. Xx
