@SunnyL88 I definitely see something. Congrats!

KatBeCool · 23/03/2019 10:22

@cupcakesandglitter after consecutive three day temp rise, normally until 14dpo, if bfp, then I'll have to can the Dr and he'll, most likely, have me continue.

starkid · 23/03/2019 10:22

@SunnyL88 - it's a squinter, but I can see something!

OP posts:
cupcakesandglitter · 23/03/2019 10:09

@KatBeCool yeah sorry I probably should've said which one 😂 that's a pain, how long do you take them for?

KatBeCool · 23/03/2019 10:03

@cupcakesandglitter you mean on progesterone? None of them are good lol. Constipation, hot flashes, irritability, becoming a bitch. But hey, no sore boobs. Too bad I constantly feel mentally murderous.

cupcakesandglitter · 23/03/2019 09:57

@KatBeCool have you read up the (if any) side effects? Xx

@smitch82 nope, totally understandable 😂😂 DH stopped having sex with me after ov for a couple of months, that was fun 🙄 luckily all back to normal now 😁 x

Hi @ValidUser !! That's gone so quick! How are you? X

@starkid little newborns are adorable 😭😭 whenever I see one I'm always smiling at them, little angels (admittedly I do get weird looks from parents) but my heart melts! X

Congrats @SunnyL88 looks like a line xx

SunnyL88 · 23/03/2019 08:20

So I’m cd29 so due yesterday or today on normal cycle... feeling very nervous and disbelief

TTC first baby - thread 15
starkid · 22/03/2019 23:48

@ValidUser - have updated your stats. Good luck next week!!! Xx

I don't know, I'm not hugely confident in my symptoms. The sore heavy breasts are something that always happens for a week before AF. Just the aching rest of me that's an anomaly. Only a couple of days to wait though 😊

My friends were all asking how it was going this evening, which I don't mind as I'm very open about it all... Then a really cute newborn was next to me in the pub we were at, in a little sleeping bag 😍😭

MrsH497 · 22/03/2019 20:39

Bfn I don't get why my cycles are suddenly increasing in length

Fuiseog · 22/03/2019 20:28

Just used the last OPK test strip I have in- still flashing away for high, so no sign of peak yet. Not a bad thing (as long as it happens soon!) as I'm home on my own this evening and way too tired to want to wait up! I would be symptom spotting like crazy in your shoes, @PeacockingAbout and @starkid! Hope they are good signs for you! Hope the wait is quick for you, @ValidUser and that everything is successful

ValidUser · 22/03/2019 19:49

Thanks @starkid!

ValidUser · 22/03/2019 19:49

Checking in! Now 29, cycle 8/9/10, salpingectomy this week (appendicitis induced hydrosalpinx).

Then HSG plus or minus ivf!

PeacockingAbout · 22/03/2019 19:30

@starkid very similar symptoms then! My body aches have calmed down today, but my breasts, hips and lower back in particular are very sore. And a cracking headache. But I do have awful posture! Interesting that it's a bona fide symptom though @cupcakesandglitter!

Glad you've got the fun ones for the moment at least @KatBeCool! Hope the progesterone does the business to make up for the side effects.

That is good @LikeTheFruit - meant to stop on my way to the station and totally forgot Hmm

@granddesigns thst doesn't sound fun, hope it is a positive sign! Today is early to test if you're due next week -maybe repeat at the weekend? I'm also due early next week, and feel like I'm heading into Cycle 5 rather than success!

@thosethreewords oh perfect weekend! Enjoy nesting Smile

@Jessikka I know the feeling! Enjoy your sleep!!

Jessikka · 22/03/2019 19:08

We tried SMEP this cycle as it looked like my cycle FINALLY settled down. I had my first text book cycle so I'm VERY happy about that.

But after 3 nights of being tired but DTD anyway due to the plan I am REALLY looking forward to just going to bed tonight 😂 just let me sleep!

No more temps from today either as I don't want the stress so will just relax for a bit now and enjoy the lie in.

Happy lady!

smitch82 · 22/03/2019 16:55

Thanks @cupcakesandglitter that's reassuring!! Thought I was going crazy and freaked us out 😂

thosethreewords · 22/03/2019 15:59

@PeacockingAbout me and DH have a rare weekend off together with no plans to see anyone so we are bolting the doors! Haha. I'm in full nesting mode and DH is indulging me this weekend and we are doing some work on the garden and some odd jobs around the house. And probably practising for FW next week ☺️ FX about your symptoms spotting!

@orangeloo let us know how you get on with your appointment

@Jessikka GIL - love it! Definitely should be a thing! Hope you didn't get grilled too much (but if they're anything like mine, you will have been!!)

@LikeTheFruit that is a bargain! I might get some tomorrow for this cycle.

granddesigns · 22/03/2019 15:40

Thanks @PeacockingAbout - trying to hold out till af due but just have a semi constant feeling of fullness at the back of throat, acid and nausea. That said I am due af early next week (didn't get a clear confirmation of when ovulated so glow is a bit out this month!) and did a cheapy this morning that was very negative..... suspect we are heading into cycle 5 but trying to stay positive.

Hannah192 · 22/03/2019 15:40

@BabyO1988 thank you. They seem to have gone today though 🙄 Oh good, I’m glad that has no effect. I’m keeping everything crossed for you!
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend 🤞🏼🤞🏼 @PeacockingAbout that sounds like good symptoms so will keep everything crossed for you!

KatBeCool · 22/03/2019 15:22

@PeacockingAbout Clomid and Estradiol symptoms are so much nicer than progesterone. I'm far more relaxed and happy on the first two. Starting progesterone in a few days after the O is confirmed, dreading it.

cupcakesandglitter · 22/03/2019 15:11

@smitch82 I've not had something similar, but I wouldn't worry - cervix becomes really soft during ov and sometimes it can bleed a little when bumped xx

@starkid yes! Although mine was mostly nipple (which usually are pretty numb 😂) about a week after ov, and it was PAINFUL. Oh and they were super swollen and red, never had that before. Fx for you!!! X

starkid · 22/03/2019 15:08

@cupcakesandglitter - the aching all over? Ooh, interesting! I'm due on Monday, am 9dpo today...

OP posts:
smitch82 · 22/03/2019 15:07

Weird moment this AM and sorry in advance for the TMI!

So we DTD this morning and I started to bleed, it stopped straight away... today was my ovulation day according to Clue.

Anyone had something similar?

cupcakesandglitter · 22/03/2019 15:00

@LikeTheFruit a very very good bargain!!!

@starkid that was my first pg sign!! When's AF due? Xx

starkid · 22/03/2019 14:48

What a bargain! Grin

LikeTheFruit · 22/03/2019 14:27

So I just popped into Superdrug for a browse. They're selling FRERs box of 2 for £6. Which is cheap. So I bought a box 😂 though went through The till at 10.49 so had to get then to get them to change price.
Not decide if I'll use it or not yet
