Thread 4: Ttc without ease, loopy length cycles, post pill poas and everything in between!

When I ovulated the week before the bleed that was the last time we DTD till this week so def conceived then. I'm actually five weeks this weekend if you count from date of my last period. I'm due 13th May

Wow congratulations shoney, how exciting for you! Also co congratulations to claire, let's hope that your good fortune spreads to the rest of us!
I'm managing to get through 2ww OK after my wobble the other day. I'm not really noticing symptoms any more, AF should be here soon, probably between 3 and 5 days left to go depending on my cycle length this time. I'm not even going to buy a test until at least Thursday - hopefully avoiding the disappointment of a bfn!

Good Morning Ladies, sorry I have been away for a bit, after the disappointment a couple of weeks ago I felt I wanted to pull away from it all and just try not to stress about it.
But I got the absolute shock this week to find out I am actually pregnant and the what i thought was AF was implementation bleeding. So after the shock of thinking I had AF just tried to chill out, went away last weekend, had a bottle of wine (eeeek). On Monday I started the ovulation tests again which was a decent positive, i did think it slightly strange but thought ok here we go again. Tuesday test was positive and even darker and wednesday was darker again. By now I knew something was up, i had sore boobs but was really dry, we were strugging to DTD. Also temp kept going up. So after dilerberating for a couple of days I finally thought just take a test and if its negative we can move on. So took a Tescos one on Thursday morning and came up straight away, a very clear positive. Couldnt believe it! Also took a CB digital (and with not much urine) got a pregnant - 1-2 weeks on that. Actuully took another one yesterday - still positive, think my OH wanted to just check.

So yeh who would have thought it! Just told our parents for the moment. Been ok apart from really tired, after finding out didnt sleep very well for too nights (due to excitment i think) so now we have told parents I did get a better sleep last night thankfully! Had really sore boobs and nipples can be mentally sore without a bra on. A few nauseous spells but not sick.

Went to doctor but totally underwhelmed, just said go see the midife and she wont see me till 8 weeks :( so appointment is 11 October. Roll on then!!

Praying everything goes ok!

How frustrating Bobo. Can't believe you are on your third surge. Good that you are stilling testing otherwise could have missed it.

It's a really good line for a cheap test Claire so should be really strong on a frer!

Well done Claire This is fabulous news. Don't think you need to buy another test because they are definitely positive!! But I would probably do the same... Buy one of each brand just to make sure!! Congratulations xxxx

Thanks ladies, I am slightly freaking out because I really thought this wouldn't happen! I've done another 2 tests this morning and they look pretty positive! I am going to go out later and get a couple more tests just because these are Internet cheap ones but the lines look darker this morning!

Nice to see you back marmite how are you getting on?!

bobo how frustrating for you but fx for you this is it! Are you doing bbt or anything to confirm ov? How do you know it hasn't happened last 2 times?

Cd8 for me and nothing to report still.

Congrats claire!!!! Keep us updated with symptoms as they kick in!

johno well done on the early ov signs and ewcm! What a dilemma if you do ov and dh has to restrain! I'd say bugger it and dtd lol would you be able to rearrange/delay his appointment if so? Or has it taken a while to arrange? Are you having another relaxed cycle this time?

I can't read the next page without losing this post so BRB!

Congratulations, Claire! Have you got another test you can do tomorrow? x

Hi guys, have been keeping an eye on this thread from the backseat and just wanted to say massive congrats Claire!!!
That's exactly what my first IC looked like and I was trying to put it down to indent. It is definitely a second line though!!! Have you got a FRER you can do tomorrow mornin f to enjoy seeing an even stronger line?! So exciting.

Hope AF arrives for you soon Highhopes so you can get started on the next cycle!

Congratulations Claire! Fantastic news!

Yes Johno I am still opk-ing, also started temping and I am trying accupuncture. It helps me relax if nothing else. It really will be Sod's law if you Ov and can't DTD as OH saving it for a bloody cup! As others say think I would be tempted to sneak a little action in!

Fingers crossed Highhopes. All the AC talk is making me consider trying it again. My accupuncturist does a lot with herbal treatments so might ask their opinion on it!

Ohh high hopes that sounds promising! I've read loads of stuff and some ppl do come on just a couple of days after! Could be coincidence or could be the AC. Fx crossed anyway!

Claire, how did DH take it?! How are you feeling x

Congratulations Claire A clear BFP !!!
Second day of taking AC and I think AF is on her way, must be a coincidence as it can't work that quickly can it??

Congrats Claire! Fab news! Xx

Yay claire!!!! Definitely BFP. Congrats really chuffed for you just saying I kept the faith X

So... My cm completely dried up last week. And this week I have noticed an increase as I have felt wet a few times in work and have gone to the loo to check for af. Yesterday got some ewcm and this morning Defo got some ewcm, quite a bit actually when going to the loo.

According to my calendar. I was supposed to see af on 2nd sept but didn't come, and if I was on a normal 28 days cycle tomorrow would be the start of my fertile week again. Wishful thinking, but maybe I'm gearing up to ovulate again? Or I'm just on a long cycle and ovulating late? Dtd Tueaday and last night, might try and get it in there tonight as well, no harm is there!

My AC comes on Monday anyway so fx that might kick me into action. Xx

Omg Claire that looks like a clear line to me girl!!

Ok because I am insane I have just taken another test and I don't know if I've just lost the plot or if I am really seeing a faint line? I've never had this before but do you think this is an indentation line or an actual one?

Lol Johno, yea I bet you're relieved not to be using creams now that the bird has finally flew the nest! She better not return anytime soon!! Never realised you'd tried all of those! I quite like Agnus Castus as (I believe) it was the fix that helped bring my cycles from 56/60/70 days to in the 30s. Might give the primrose a go! I think you use the prog cream in your inner thigh after ov only! I'm willing to give anything a go Mrs!! Honestly, I think you'd be fine with a couple of more shots of action as long as you refrain maybe 2 full days before it?? I bet my DHs appointment comes through around ov time too, argh!

Fx for you Claire. No news is good news! Did you try anything this cycle to help your luteal phase? I'm desperate for any hints/tips now!! Xx

Sounds like you've done everything you can lovely. Keep us posted xx
