Cavemum TTC#1 - Currently undergoing fertility tests.

Morning Frolickers! Rain here today - boo. Shall still press ahead with the bbq we've planned though.

Anyone nearing the end of their 2ww?? Any exciting symptoms from anyone??? I should be OV in a couple of days - so glad to be getting to the end of the boring first 2 weeks of the cycle.

Right, I must tidy up the house. Happy Saturdays to you!

Morning All! Rain here too :( ah well, wer in england, we cant expect too much sunshine!!
Hope you have a lovely bbq Imps7.
A little while back i thought i had ov'd, but temperature never went up, yesterday i started getting lots of achyness in my lower back and again today with sore boobs and my temperature has gone up a bit, so fingers crossed im ov'ing! better late than never i supose! must be on about cd39!!!!

Hope you all have a lovely day despite this horrible weather!!! :)

My temp is still low too Maybe I am not ovving this month.

What cycle day are you on tiger? well my temp is higher again today so thinking maybe i have ovulated, will have to wait and see if it continues to stay up. Just checked and im on cd 41!!! What is my body playing at?! :)

I am really fed up today waiting for AF to arrive. No symptoms at all of the arrival, usually get spotting in the days prior but nothing yet.
I know I shouldn't be concerned as it is just my body getting used to coming off the pill on 17th June. I just really want to make a clean start of TTC and had EWCM "CD"14 after so expected AF "CD"28. Am now on "CD"30 and feeling a bit low.
Sorry to go on when I know some of you are in a much more stressful situation.

Aww polly i know how you feel, im afraid your just going to have to wait! i was in the same position as you, i came off the pill in March and mine is still all over the place, i waited 42 days the first time, 48 the 2nd time and im on day 41 this time, i think ive just ov'd now, so looking at a a 55ish day cycle this time, it is fustrating i know. Ive spoken to my doctor and shes just told me to relax, it is hard to do but stress messes with your cycles too! Good luck :)

Hi

I a on CD 24 so am assuming I have ovved by now, I usually have a 32 day cycle. That would give me an 8 day luteal phase though, unless it is going to be longer this time. I feel horrible, bloated, tired, weepy, agrumentative, nesting....

1st according to my fertility book the body temp stays high then dips down again on day 1, unless you are up the duff and then it stays high :) S if you are on day 41 you never know...

I would assume you have by now tiger, unless like you say it has been delayed and you are going to have a longer cycle or you have had a cycle where you havent ovulated at all, but if your temperature is still low surely that means no ovulation yet?
hmmm yea definately nesting!!!

Im eager to go bed and find out what my temp is tomorrow morning! im hoping it stays up because then i know i am actually OV'ing (and stays high for a long long time ) but also i dont think we have swi'd enough because since cd6 we swi'd every other day and i was getting fed up of not ov'ing so didnt have any for four days :(
might have made a mistake doing that!!!
Really aching down low today which i am assuming is signs of ovulation and also my boobs are sore.
!!

Oh it's so hard to decipher! I know what you mean about wanting to temp though, I keep getting tempted to put the thermometer into my mouth 'just to see' but of course, at this time of day, after rushing around, eating, and drinking, it will be all over the place

I think I have done all I can for this month. Now is the time for finger-crossing.

Serious TMI warning!

So I'm on cd19 of my first cycle dice coming off the pill. Haven't been checking cm until the past three days, so probably would have missed the magic ewmc if I ovulated when I should have. Did an opk for the first time yesterday (arrived in the post, wanted a try) and was negative. No idea when AF is due with it being my first natural cycle in 16 year.

....So just now, had a pee, checked cm - clear and sticky but no stretch. Then wiped again and suddenly there was one lump of pale reddish brown cm about the size of a grape. WTF?! Checked and wipe again, but clear.

Whaaaaat? Anyone any suggestions? . .

Yea it is so hard isnt it tiger why do our bodies have to mess up!why cant we have a 28 day cycle ov on day 14 or whatever it is!!! Just had to jump in the bath cos i have so much lower back and lower tummy ache!

Im not sure im afraid floydie, the only thing i can think of is that not all your lining came away last time and because your having cm, some of the old lining has come away too. I expect im completely wrong though! someone else might know more. Sorry!!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't got time to catch up properly but promise I will tomorrow.

Had my day 21 bloods today but they need to be done again as I passed out and then had a fit on the floor of the nurse's room I was 2 and a bit vials down out of three, wish I'd managed to hang in a bit longer! Apparently she put the needle in and filled one vial, then took the needle out and stuck it in my arm while she readied the next vial, then stuck it in me again and filled the second vial etc so neither wonder it bloody hurt! They'll have to do it differently next time, I couldn't cope, hence the fainting! It was very embarrassing but I'm glad DH was there as I was really disorientated when I came to - couldn't see cos my pupils were fully dilated, and didn't know where I was or who the people were around me, until DH said my name then when I knew he was around I started to calm down. I still feel pretty tired and a bit out of it but I'm ok and have been out and about a little bit.

I'm not looking forward to my day 3/4 bloods so if my body knows what's good for it I'llk be pg this cycle

Hope everyone is ok, will catch up tomorrow

Oh no! so sorry that happened to you josie, what a pain! I feel for you, cant stand having blood taken, hate needles completely!
Yes your body should behave and get pregnant so you dont have to have anymore bloods!
You take care, Hope your feeling better again soon :)

Arg Josie - how horrendous!!! You poor thing. Your body definitely needs to do you a favour and let you avoid any more horrible tests like that. How are things going at work - are you still off?

Ov'ing today - at least I hope it's today. Then I can crack on with some serious symptom spotting!

Floydie - possibly your body flushing out extra leftover stuff?? Alternatively it could be ovulation bleeding - I'd never heard of it before today but I had some pink tinged CM today when I wiped so looked it up on google - apparently it does exist!

Hope you're feeling a bit better Josie.

Thanks for the comments - I'd love it to be from implantation; google does have loads of results which suggest this, but really need to not get my hopes up too much! Fingers crossed though

Floydie do you have any idea when you might have ov'ed this cycle? I know it might be hard to pinpoint since it's your first 'natural' cycle in a long time. From what I understand, an implantation bleed would happen some time after ovulation. In fact it can come so late as to be mistaken for a very light period.

Josie Gosh, how awful! Hope you're doing okay in the wake of all that!

Hello all, just marking my place as this thread fell off my "Threads I'm On".

No TTC news from me at the moment. I'm recovering nicely but still waiting for an appointment to go get my Clomid.

On other matters, we have exchanged contracts on our house so will be moving to our lovely new home on 22 August

Hurrah re: house move Cave!! It's so exciting getting settled into somewhere new - is there much to be done to it?

1 DPO for me - the boob prodding has already started as has, somewhat bizarrely, the pants checking. Am I really expected ERTD to arrive yet??! This is going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooong two weeks.

Hi all congrats on the bfp's ok im ttc%231 cycle 11 cd ??? Who knows as af are all over the place going from 32 days to 47 days, vert frustrating
I gave pcos had tubes checked all good been seeing a consultant and they have been trying to cycle track me having bloods taken every week
Next appointment on 5 august but if 1 more of my friends announces they are pregnant I'm running away
I know I'm noticing it more because of how I'm feeling but out my group of friend there are 7 pregnancies due from 2nd dec to 26 Jan so I'm doing lots of swi and keeping my fingers crossed ( not my legs ) for news of my own before then so I don't have to go missing at Xmas
I am happy for all it's just hard to take when all I here is "we weren't even trying" aaargh

Sorry for rant ?

littlejesamiah I feel your pain. I had the most horrendous night out with my gal pals a couple of weeks ago. If someone had handed me a sawn off shotgun I would have put it to my head and blown my brains out! 6 hours of constant baby talk!I'm probably just over sensitive about the subject as well at the minute but I felt so left out I couldnt wait to go home and curl up in a ball in my bed with the covers over my head!

We're all a bit down at the mo, not helped I feel by the totally pants weather!! Have some delicious cocktails and nibbles to cheer us all up!! !!!
Nothing new with me, still trying, still failing. :(
Nxt appointment with consultant is on the 9th august, think they'll probably try another 3 months of clomid before referring on...

That's what kills me it's my birthday today and me and dh are going out at weekend and have only invited the only couple out of our friends that isn't pregnant and when dh asked why I hadn't asked the others I told him I might end up aces ing obscenities at them, which is terrible I know I love my friends to bits but this is about me and at this moment in time I can't handle it.
Dh thinks I'm crazy and just keeps saying everything will be alright but it's obviously not!
I'm trying to keep positive and know I'm going to get a bfp it's just a question of when

Xx

Thanks Imps, it's a brand new house so absolutely nothing to do to it! It's 4 bedrooms, up from our current 2, so plenty of room for the patter of tiny feet!

Welcome littlejesamiah, we all know what it is like when it seems the world and his wife are falling pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Welcome littlejesamiah hope you're feeling a bit more optimistic, it's difficult to be around pg people a lot of the time.

Cave fab news about the huse, hope the move goes well

I'm totally recovered now, just in time for my team manager to be visiting on friday (that's my sick face ) not looking forward to it but I've written down what I want to say so I don't get flustered and forget, but she's coming to the house so I'm on my home territory so hopefully will be more confident. The idea fills me wth dread though, doubt I'll be going back next week, I just feel sick at the thought (that's a sick face too )

Tomorrow I will be mostly cleaning and baking if I can be arsed
