morning everyone. another one feeling despondent here. I am still spotting, presumably from my coming off the pill, which i stopped over 2 weeks aago. then again, am iright in thinking you can spot when you're ovulating? I have slight amount of pain too.
I did opk last night but no line, might bd tonight just in case.
I know i shouldnt expect everything to go back to normal stright away, i'm just soooooo impatient!!
good luck to those on their 2ww.

Sans04 · 08/11/2008 03:34

Hi
bluesatinsash thank you I think that is it I ovulated during last 2 days ago.

LJ29: thank you for careing, you're very right, when i collect the urine for the test it was just like a water, it was very light because I've drank too much water, afternoon at 5.00pm I went to my GP and I showed him the thursday's stick, he said go home and do another one and see if you get the same (no line)because you seems like you either ovulated thursday or you goona ovulate today based on the Ov'stick from thursday, and he was right when I came home after half in houre I did another one and there was to line but I could see that the T line was just a little bit litter than a C line, so I think that I've ovulated but atleaset we had a goodbding during these two days, so I'll be positive and wait 2WW.

pinkie08 · 07/11/2008 12:55

Sans04, I'm sure your not meant to do OPks in the morning. All the info i have read says to do them in the afternoon as that is when you produce your LH and also you shouldn't drink for 2-3 hours before testing. If I would you I would try again at about 4 this afternoon.

Sans04 · 07/11/2008 04:10

Hi everyone

I am a bit confused I nedd a help yesterday I did Ov test and the was two line same color, so me and DH wen bding last night, but I just did anither test now and there is only one line which is C line, so need help could that be possible I had ovulated and the sugar level went down that quick?

Doesn't time fly. It doesn't like more than a few days ago that I was devastated at AF arriving and already we're only a week away from BFPs for those at the top of the list. Good luck everyone.

VeryKeenForABean · 06/11/2008 20:50

Hi Rip, Sorry to hear of AF arriving

It is so hard not to feel down. I find it amazing the way my thinking is cyclical as well as my hormones. I was so low with my period, really despondant. Then I had whole days where I was ambivalent about ttc, now I am really keen to give it a really good shot iykwim ! Then, I am sure I will become obsessed and unable to think of anything else for a good fortnight. Bizarre .

At least we're all in it together!

Baby dust to all x

ilikeyoursleeves · 06/11/2008 19:35

How is everyone doing? Ripmac I hope you are feeling a bit better, I know how you feel with AF turning up yet again. Well, our plan of BDing every night went out the window! Too tiring! And it's freezing at night so we just get in and cuddle under the duvet. We BD'd last night though and I'm only on CD15 so I won't have OVd yet anyway. I'm sure once I get any OV signs I'll jump on DH LOL!

RipMacWinkle · 06/11/2008 14:44

Cheers WSB - am feeling a bit better now. Feel a bit silly, everyone's in the same boat so I know everyone gets disappointed when af arrives.

But I'll join you in that chant this month....

WarmSeaBreeze · 06/11/2008 14:40

Hi RipMacWinkle sorry that you are feeling so down, when AF arrived for me on Tues I was gutted to. Lets both try to be positive, try chanting "it will happen this month" "it will happen this month"

bluesatinsash · 06/11/2008 14:29

Sans - were the lines of the same darkness? If so you may be ovulating now - you have a short cycle so go for it!

I got a OPK +ve this morning on CD12 so now in 2WW territory but having some more bding tonight and tomorrow for good measure

Morning everyone,

I knew I was out on Tuesday when my usual pre-af spotting arrived but proper af arrived this morning so I'm counting this as cd1.

I'm adding myself to this list because i'm in for this month but am a bit disheartened by the whole TTC thing just now.

Fingers crossed for us all

I have read somewhere that the dose needs to be reasonably high so i get the 1000mg capsules from tesco. Also, it should only be taken up until ovulation as it can cause uterine contractions and effect implantation. Only read this after starting to take it but have also read that flaxseed oil is a good alternative and can be taken throughtout your cycle.

liahgen · 05/11/2008 21:36

ooh, i'm getting some of that.

LJ29 · 05/11/2008 20:56

EPO helps to increase the quantity and quality of your cervical mucus which ou need for sperm to be able to survive and travel to your egg.

HomeintheSun · 05/11/2008 20:51

LJ29 what has EPO done??

LJ29 · 05/11/2008 20:41

Well CD 9 today and as I am completely unsure when I ov due to irregular cycles thought i woould make a start on the Bding!! Dh works nights for 7 and then has 7 days off, he's on his week of nights at the moment so got home put kids to bed and promptly dragged him to the bedroom for a quickie before he went to work!!!!

Planning on BDing every other day until about CD25 and hoping this will do the trick. I have also ben taking EPO since CD1 and can't believe the difference already. I definitely haven't had EWCM yet but there is CM in abundance where I don't normally have much at all (sorry if TMI!.
