10dpo here. None of my usual spotting or sore boobs, but feel like AF is imminent. Will have a repeat HSG the month after next if I'm not spouted!

Sorry she got you @thosethreewords.

Happy scheduled sex, @MrsEG!

MrsEG · 15/04/2019 15:44

AF finally arrived last night! 5 days late. So pleased, looking forward to TTC this month. Sent DH our sex schedule this morning 😂 - he loves it, knows what he has to look forward to!!

@Hannah192 That’s fairly standard, if you DTD on back to back days the swimmers get very tired!! Best to do every other day, just making sure you get the day you ovulate :)

@thosethreewords Sorry lovely that must be so disappointing for you. I can personally attest that a little break every now again can do you the world of good - TTC can be completely overwhelming at times. Look after yourself x

Hannah192 · 15/04/2019 10:44

@Lottiepink so sorry AF arrived. It’s a gutting feeling, but be kind to yourself and enjoy the wine x
@FlapJackered oh no!! We literally resulted in the floor 😂😂 classy 😉
@thosethreewords so sorry AF has arrived and especially late 😩

Sorry if tmi, but as I got my positive opk yesterday, we dtd Friday Saturday and yesterday evening. OH did say yesterday that there wasn’t much yesterday and feels a bit ‘empty’ which I’m not surprised at really 🙈 he’s limiting caffeine today and eating lots of healthy things so fx we should be ok for later and then we’ll have tomorrow off I think and go again Wednesday. Hope that covers it 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Lola871 · 15/04/2019 09:27

Sorry to hear that @thosethreewords! I'm due to ovulate in the next couple of days so will soon be entering the old TWW, need to get on with some DTD if it's going to happen this month though, super busy weekend meant not much on that front!

thosethreewords · 15/04/2019 08:57

AF has arrived 3 days late (just to fuck with me). I'm going to take a relaxed approach to this cycle I think so I don't know yet if I'll be on here much. I think I need a break!
Sorry to everyone who is in the same boat as me, and huge congratulations to the BFPs! ❤️💐

AysLon · 15/04/2019 08:39

7dpo and I'm symptom spotting, csnt help it! This morning I have slight cramps (when I exhale) from lower left abdomen....no other symptoms. CD30 and AF is due next Tues/Weds (24th)

Tropicana1 · 15/04/2019 08:02

@Lottiepink sorry AF got you x

@granddesigns so sorry you're feeling so down at the mo x

@FlapJackered same to you! Positive opks here we come!

@KatBeCool hopefully this is your cycle! Are there any side effects / do you think you'll notice the effect the increased dose has on you?

KatBeCool · 15/04/2019 05:58

@FlapJackered they normally start people off with 50mg, if that didn't work, then 100mg, and, rarely, even 150mg. Hoping for some extra good eggs!

FlapJackered · 14/04/2019 23:03

@KatBeCool double dosing! I didn't know you can do that, that is great. I hope it is third time lucky for you! X

FlapJackered · 14/04/2019 23:01

@MrsR16 I know how you're feeling but don't give up! It will happen for you I am sure, it is just taking us a bit longer for some reason. It doesn't hurt to have a little break from the ttc madness though so I do understand!

@Tropicana1 fingers crossed you get a positive opk sooon!

@Hannah192 I think we're going to need to be creative with our timing and location as the house is going to be full of family 🤦🏼‍♀️ there is a barn in the garden though! 😂

@MrsEG I have heard that only 1% of women have 3 or more miscarriages so that should be really encouraging that it is really unlikely to happen again. I know that doesn't stop the worry though. It shows amazing strength of character to be able to pick yourself up a second time and have so much positivity. ❤️

@Fivebyfive2 I think I am going to start testing tomorrow morning. Cm is now watery so I think it's probably just a random day, now going to brace myself to join you on the flashing smileys!

@granddesigns sorry you're feeling so down. I think a lot of us feel the same about the transition to 2020. It is hard, but I am trying to tell myself it is actually pretty cool to be born in 2020 and it makes working out their age easier! 😂

@Lottiepink so sorry for AF, it is so frustrating when the symptoms are lying. Enjoy your wine and be kind to yourself. X

Lottiepink · 14/04/2019 22:21

@granddesigns snap...
It's so bloody awful! Really thought this was our time, but it seems not with af showing up...
sooo annoying, genuinely could have cried 😕😕

Hope you are ok 😘

granddesigns · 14/04/2019 21:19

Hi all - losing the plot a bit here and looking for some words of sense! I had some tests last year and got a clean bill of reproductive health (not ttc related but everything works fine and nothing bad going on etc). Fast forward to starting ttc in November/December this year- still here on cycle 5/6 depending on who you believe. Have been doing opks and this month smep. Really hoped this might be it, still could be I guess but here we are 11dpo and think I've spotted the tell tale yellowing of cm, usually signifies af imminent. Boobs very tender this last week l, af due Wednesday (probably Tuesday!) and stupidly did an internet cheaply earlier - nothing. Think the big thing in my mind is that if this isn't the month we are into 2020 - when we first started discussing ttc 2020 was miles off.... don't know what I'm saying or asking really except feeling a bit flat and teary. Wishing you all well but struggling to heed my own advice and rational thoughts!

Lottiepink · 14/04/2019 19:57

Hi everyone,
AF arrived this afternoon... feel so stupid as I've symptom spotted and had so many different ones this cycle (such sore nipples, heartburn, queasiness etc) Totally gutted, but what can I do 🤷🏻‍♀️😫
Glass of wine or 2 to ease the pain I suppose.
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend 😊

@MrsEG omg that would be amazing , cut out the stressing !!

@FlapJackered hopefully you will find a way.. how unfortunate tho 🙈🙈😂

@Fivebyfive2 hope the opk testing goes well 😊

@Hannah192 that 100% is one 😊 happy bd'ing 😆😆

@orangeloo pleased the wedding went well, it's always hard to know when to tell people etc, i have told a few close friends but no family. Regretting it now as we are up to the year, and going to probs gonna go to the docs, so it will all have to come out 😕😕

Tropicana1 · 14/04/2019 18:37

@Hannah192 woo!! That's a definite positive 🙌🏻🙌🏻

orangeloo · 14/04/2019 18:21

@Fivebyfive2 thank you. Wedding was better and expected. Only My SIL asked me if we were trying which I'm not bothered about. I said we were as didn't feel the need for secrecy my mum and sis know so thought it's no problem if my bro and SIL know really. She told me they'd thought about it and her mum had bought her OPK's. I'd love another baby in the fam and would be over the moon for them I just hope it's me first or with them. Fingers crossed.

CD14 hope Ov is not today, don't think it is. DP home tomorrow so we can BD yaaayyy

starkid · 14/04/2019 18:13

@Hannah192 - definitely a positive! happy baby-dancing Grin

OP posts:
Hannah192 · 14/04/2019 16:57

This is more like it!!! So sad that just a positive opk makes me excited!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend 😊

Fivebyfive2 · 14/04/2019 16:54

Had mum and dad over for Sunday lunch, very nice! They provided the cake for pud.. Good job we dtd yesterday as we can't move now!! 🙂

KatBeCool · 14/04/2019 13:36

@FlapJackered I'm ok, just on a boring side of ttc. Taking Clomid again, double dose this time. And it's so bitter! Definitely start peeing on sticks, ewcm is telling you that you're "ready to receive" 😂

MrsR16 · 14/04/2019 13:29

@FlapJackered yeah, I'm alright thanks lovely! Giving everything a miss this month, as I'm managing to convince myself that I'll never be able to conceive... that's why I've been super quiet on here. I've barely even logged symptoms this month!

@MrsEG I was so sorry to read your news ❤️ I hope you're treating yourself well!

ValidUser · 14/04/2019 12:39

Thanks @FlapJackered. Still only 9dpo. Intrigued by my lack of the usual sore boobs!

Hannah192 · 14/04/2019 12:21

@Jessikka 😂😂🙈 what a keeper!

I’ve just done my opk and this looks more negative than yesterday 🤔 I’ll do another this evening to see if there’s any difference

TTC first baby - thread 15
Jessikka · 14/04/2019 11:54

Today is CD12 and on all of the other months it's been cd11/12 I ovulate.

So I'm upstairs minding my own business and OH comes upstairs and says "shall we have a quickie now" .... and so we DTD.

Afterwards, he says "there we are, ive done my part" and walks off back to the F1.

And they say romance is dead 😳🙄🙄😇😂

Hannah192 · 14/04/2019 11:51

@Tropicana1 that’s what I though, thank you. I’m expecting it to happen today so yesterday was a bit early

Tropicana1 · 14/04/2019 11:43

@Hannah192 I'm definitely not an opk expert but I would say it's not quite as dark as the control line so almost positive but not quite? Unless I'm looking at the lines the wrong way round!

@thosethreewords fingers crossed for you!!

@MrsEG sorry to hear about your MCs, must be so hard. Sounds like you've waited until you're in a good headspace to try again, wishing you lots of luck!

@FlapJackered sounds like we're at a similar stage, CD 14 for me today. Feeling some lower backache today but no positive opk yet or any EWCM, so I'm obvs just massively reading into how my body feels haha! On the basis of no ewcm at all I doubt I'm due to ov for a good few days yet!
