Got back from docs, she said a possibility of a burst ovarian cyst, but shes not sure as could be a bladder infection. I think that ive got both, the backache and pelvis pain is probably the infection and the stbbing pain i had inside my pelvis was something different. Any how I have some antibiotics now, so I will take them and see. The niggly pain ive been talking about was obviously a cyst (it did feel like ovulation pain, and similar to when i was first PG with DD on one side) Then last night it obviously got worse.

She also did a Pg test too just to be sure and it was -tive, so no chance im PG, just got to wait for AF now! I obviously didnt o this month either Why do these things only happen when you are TTC?! If it doesnt get better they may have to operate (possibly remove whole ovary)

me too lam81, my UCL is about 31 days, trying to be restrained and hold of testing till saturday so I don't waste my one remaining stick, but not sure I'll manage! not holding out much hope really, got absolutely no symptoms (although on other hand not had any premenstrual symptoms either), and more to the point had a stressful month and dh been away, so not got as much BD in as would have liked.

been away from thread a while as felt i needed a break from thinking about ttc (wasn't v succesful though!), looking down I see there's been a few BFP's - congrats!

hi ladies not posted for a while,have still been reading tho,

hi to all the new people,good luck to u all and
good luck at docs yummy!

got exactly 7 days until af is due and am finding it almost impossible to think about anything else except testing, am desperate to feel some symptoms but,nothing as yet,except being mega constipated (sorry tmi) driving myself mad!!

anyone else due to test soon?? xx

oneyummymummy · 22/01/2009 09:37

App. this morning at 10.00, better get going, i'll keep you posted! Hopefully its nothing!

AngelFairy · 22/01/2009 09:25

No, no, no! I posted a comment and it's not showing! That's rubbish.

I'll try again:
Yummy... I'm sending you some cuddles hun. I hope you're only experience pos+ growing twangs. Good luck for the appt x

I'm feeling quite good considering I ate a lardy portion of fish&chips. I then took a lovely (chocolate substitute) bubble bath, read my book and then my handsome boyf sneaked around the house this morning to let me lie in, bless x

It's blowing a gale up here today. My cats, looking like they've just stepped out of a carwash, have just begged to come back in!

How's everyone else today?

sammysam · 22/01/2009 08:16

Yummy-I hope everything goes well at the appt-try not to worry. What time is it? x x x

oneyummymummy · 22/01/2009 08:13

Well still no AF, but I have a doctors app. Ive had this pain on one side for a few days now, and last night I just hardly slept, my pelvis is hurting so much, so my back hurts aswell. The pain inside my pelvis on the left, just hurt too much! Ive googled it, and wish I hadnt! Im hoping its just a water infection or something, but pretty sure its not! My bones just ache and hurt all around my back, pelvis and legs! Ive also got a very high temperature! Im hoping the pain isnt from an eptopic (they thought last PG was eptopic because I had a similar pain on one side) but Im sure PG test would have come back positive if that was the case!

Anyway this is turning ito a me, me, me post! How is everyone else today? Anymore BFP?

oneyummymummy · 21/01/2009 21:40

Joy27 · 21/01/2009 13:48

Hello Antdamm. If I were you I would wait until Saturday. I really got my hopes up last month. My period was 4 days late, but it did arrive. I reckon having a virus before Christmas delayes things for me.
Anyway, I was glad I hadn't tested in the end. I'm not meaning to piss on your strawberries, you understand. It's quite possible you are pg, but if you are then you still will be on sat (and if you test now it might even be neg as it's so early, even if you are pg). I believe in minimising the risk of disappointment.
Also if money's tight then you might kick yourself for forking out a tenner if the test's negative.

Now, I know there are ladies on this board who are mad for testing, so I'm sure you'll get different advice from others!

Thanks for the advice on the BD marathon yummy and angel. I really have no idea when I ov (have had ewcm at the maddest of times eg CD8 or CD23, and sometimes not at all), so I think I'm going to try to stop doing sums and focus on making time for some business time (waggles eyebrows) 2-3 times a week.

Shall we start one of those lists again? I have totally lost track of who's here, so I'll just start one, then you can all cut and paste and add your names:

Antdamm · 21/01/2009 12:47

Hi oneyummymummy at this present moment in time I live in the Republic of Ireland and I dont normally shop here as it is too expensive. So would normally wait til weekend so we can shop in Northern Ireland and go to ASDA.
As for DP, i think he would be rather disappointed so I wouldnt want to set him up for a fall.

oneyummymummy · 21/01/2009 12:30

Hi antdamm I think it depends on how DP will take it! Will he be really excited on then be disappointed if BFN, or if he would just buy it for you and wait for the result? Do you do shopping online? Maybe you could do a food order and include it on your list? Im not sure wether you can buy P.tests online ordering or not, but worth a go maybe?

I hope that all made sense, typing fast as DD woke up!

Antdamm · 21/01/2009 12:22

hi all,

I have been lurking a bit reading all your posts. I am 23, I have a 3.5yr old son and have been ttc for only a wee bit.
AF was due yesterday - but been feeling quite windy and having a bit of problem with getting to sleep at nite and waking up in the morning [lazy emoticon]
Didnt have any symptoms with last pregnancy until about 14wks, so dont really know wat to make of it.
Havent been able to get to shop to buy a hpt as my DS is poorly. I havent said anything to DP yet as I think Im jumping the gun a bit. Rushing in head first. Do you think i should tell DP im late and get him to run out and buy a test or should i wait til Saturday wen I can buy a test in private, so not to get DP's hopes up???

Sorry for long post

AngelFairy · 21/01/2009 11:45

Thanks Joy, Yummy. A bottle of wine might just find it's way into my hand x

Joy... From my research, sperm can live upto 5 days, but only in the clear egg white cervical mucus (ewcm). It can survive in other types too but not as long. Also, if you ov'd during your bd marathon you'll be fine.
I hope you get the right result!

Now I'm off to get my hair done!

oneyummymummy · 21/01/2009 11:08

angel oh no, sorry to hear that. Definatly have some vino!!

joy from what I believe sperm can live for up to five-six days in the womb, so I think it would cover it, but best to wait and hear what some of the others say, as im new to this ttc stuff! GOOD LUCK!

Joy27 · 21/01/2009 09:18

Oh no Angel, what a disappointment. Have wine and lots of it (maybe wait until this evening though eh?)

Welcome to the newcomers- Ray I'm sorry to hear about all your heartache over ttc.

I'm fine, should be in middle of marathon, though not managing to BD as much as is needed thanks to reasons beyond our control.
Never mind, since he's away for the middle of my cycle this weekend I have sort of written off this month anyway.

Though I do have a question: if we BD on CD8,10, 13 and 16 is there a chance that would "cover things" (assuming I ov within that time)? Obviously haven't written off this month completely have I...?

AngelFairy · 21/01/2009 09:06

Ok... My lady friend arrived last night, so I'm sat drinking a huge mug of coffee and wondering why she would be cruel enough to give me symptoms for 2wks? She's harsh!

Boob... How very exciting. So pleased for you! I'd have loved to have seen your tutor's face - Ha!

How's everyone else today?

theboob · 21/01/2009 00:15

the thing that made me cry was my college tutor asking me to correct some mistakes on my assingment
I point blank refused burst into tears ,you should have seen his face i then realised i did not know why i was crying and started laughing lol my personal tutor had to tell him i was pg so i could be exempt from any experiments that could put myself in any danger
yummy it took me a while to get the hang of FF but i got it in the end
bubble ,glad your feeling better,and good luck to everyone bding and 2ww
I have also had digital conformation tonight and it was comforting to see the words
take care xx
