Girls my head is so sore😫😫 never felt a head ache like to

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 18:59

@nt1992 @Ellsbells112 thank you so much😭 i also use the same, the one you can put in your mouth. And i will be ready this month. I will convince my husband somehow and visit the doc asap.

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 18:46

@prettygirl5545 no problem anytime ❤️ Ttc is really hard and we need all the support we can get. Okay that's great then, you'll be able to see if there is an issue while tracking temperature and opk tests. Also the thermometer you need to use is not an ear one it's not affective, one you can put in your mouth is what I use. While you start up these things on your side since it's been a year definitely go back to doctors and get them to start testing xx

@PrettyGirl5545 whatever happens AF or no AF we're all here for you, and we'll always be here for you no matter how many cycles it takes for you to get your BFP😘

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 18:16

@Ellsbells112 sorry forgot to tag. ❤️

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 18:15

Ooh! Thank you so much for all these information. These is my first time trying. I didn't know a lot about temperatures. I will surely use opks this month and track temps. Yes my husband had got himself checked. Everything was fine with him and seeing my cycle they had said everything seems fine, it was just 1 month of ttc then. But i never gave them any samples of blood or urine.

This time i will use opks again.

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 18:01

@prettygirl5545 not just in hindsight though, if you track your ewcm, do ovulation tests and track your temperature you have an all round winner I think! I'm starting tracking temp now

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 18:00

@prettygirl5545 I see your dilemma. The only true way to know you ovulated is by tracking your temperature, but you will only know afterwards if you ovulated or not if that makes sense so in hindsight the next month you can see.
Before ovulation, a woman's BBT averages between97°F (36.1°C) and97.5°F (36.4°C). After ovulation, it rises to97.6°F (36.4°C) to98.6°F (37°C). You can track your cycle by taking your BBT every morning. Take your temperature at the same time every day before getting out of bed.

Because relying on the pain isnt the best way (I was told this by a fertility doc)

Has your husband been checked?? Your cycles sound okay. When you have used ovulation test before have you got a positive on it?

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 17:57

Thanks dearie @nt1992.. I will let u know tomorrow after AF arrives. And ifffff (that's not gonna happen i know) she doesn't show up, i'll test. Also planning to start opks again next cycle.

nt1992 · 06/12/2019 17:45

@PrettyGirl5545 it seems you have your mind set that you're going to get a BFN. But the only way you will know is by testing or waiting for AF😞. The cramps in early pregnancy are very similar to AF cramps but a bit milder so don't lose all hope yet my lovely❤️

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 17:43

@nt1992 No dear. These are definitely AF cramps. I will let u guys know tomorrow when the witch shows up her ugly face. I have test kits with me but I don't want to test coz i know its defo a BFN love. I have seen BFNs like a trillion times. I have seen BFPs just in pictures sent by you ladies. : ( i wonder if i will ever see a BFP.

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 17:38

@Ellsbells112 My cycles are always 28 days long. i bleed for 7 days and are normal. I ovulate on CD12- CD15. At first i used to try opks but it was causing a lot of stress and i found that i have pain at the time of ovulation. So we dtd every other day during CD10-CD16. I dont track temperature for ovulation but i do in the 2ww. I get EWCM during ovulation but i feel that I'm more wet after Ovulation i don't know why. What to do dear? I'm so so stressed that i can't explain. Was tooo chill this cycle but the last two days of the cycle has stressed me a lot.

nt1992 · 06/12/2019 17:35

@PrettyGirl5545 I know you have cramps but have you actually took a test? Just to completely rule that out? Cramps in early pregnancy are really common

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 17:28

@prettygirl5545 of course, you need to do what is best for you. At the end of the day if there is an issue better to know earlier and then you can help it. Do you track ovulation and your temperature? Do you get positive opks? Also do you get ewcm around time of ovulation? How long are your cycles, are they normal? (not short LP)
I'm really sorry 🙏 I get so down every time I don't end up pregnant. I can't help but worry there is something wrong with me even though I know healthily it can take a year. Definitely go to the doctors and get the ball rolling, for your own peace of mind!

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 17:27

Should i first visit my GP? Or directly go to a gynaec? My DH says we can still try for some more months before visiting a doc.

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 17:24

@Ellsbells112 i was so tired of peeing on sticks from 10 months. So i had promised this time that i won't test and i won't keep my hopes high. i did keep my promise and i didn't test. But wat about my hopes?! They never die even if i try to kill them. I am planning to see the doc for bloods and check if everything is fine with me. My DH doesn't want me to visit a doc that's y i had waited for bloody 10 months. But now i can't stop myself.

CiaraJ01 · 06/12/2019 17:24

@PrettyGirl5545 sorry to hear, I can only guess how frustrating it is!! Have you had a chat with your GP yet?

@mellymoo86 I love your concept of drunken conception! I think I will drink tomorrow, dont judge me ladies! I've decided I'll just I enjoy the end of the year, if it's to be it will. I'll test before Inset off for Ireland and I'll either be pregnant or not and that will be my decision made on alcohol 🤷‍♀️

Its frustrating enough TTC and although I want to help it in every way - I don't want to become so focused on it I'm not enjoying the rest of my life. Have I convinced you guys?? 😂😂 I've only need TTC for 2 months so I reckon it's too early to completely focus on it - if it doesnt happen then I've always dry Jan.

nt1992 · 06/12/2019 17:18

@CiaraJ01 I am fine! Just winging this 2 WW🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@PrettyGirl5545 I hope AF doesn't show for you 😰 got everything crossed!🤞🏼

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 17:13

@prettygirl5545 I'm really sorry to hear this. I know nothing I say can make it better, I'm losing my mind at 4 months, I can't imagine 12. We are here for you even if it's not much. Have you had tests done? Xx

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 16:58

@mellymoo86 I feel sh*t. It's going to be 1 year of ttc. Took folic acid regularly as well. I want to burst out. My Dh is also tired of seeing me like this.

mellymoo86 · 06/12/2019 16:48

@PrettyGirl5545 oh no :( sorry to hear that

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/12/2019 16:08

@nt1992 My AF is due tomorrow. And I'm having cramps. : (

mellymoo86 · 06/12/2019 15:45

@Ellsbells112 we aren't helping @CiaraJ01 make a decision 😂

To be honest that's probably why women conceive when they're drunk. We get extra horny and the men get all flustered and their swimmers just get high on adrenaline and swim for their lives 😂

Ellsbells112 · 06/12/2019 15:25

@mellymoo86 hahahaha yaaaaas to the porn star martini tree. Listen, I will drink them all and turn into a poor star for my man and then we will make babiiieeeesss.

Yeah exactly it makes nooo sense of you're going to be like that why would you be in such mixed country? Lol people are so stuck in their small minded way of thinking. Jokes on them

@ciaraj01 yeah that's the average but you can implant earlier but it's realllllly rare

mellymoo86 · 06/12/2019 15:15

@Ellsbells112 yeah it's ridiculous...no offence to them but if you want to be married to a Pakistani Muslim girl and if my parents wanted me to marry a Srilankan boy then why bring us to the UK? Leave us in peace man! Lol. Sounds like she just generally has issues, so further she is the better. You don't need additional drama in your life.

Pornstar martinis are SO good. I can drink them like water. I noticed at slug and lettuce for like £40 they do a pornstar martini tree!! So on each branch they put 6 cocktails on it. It's for a group obviously but I'm good with one of those trees lol.
