Van if you go to the top of the page then you will see Acronyms written in blue. Click that and all will become clear. Confused the hell out of me too.

So I mentioned to DH today that I have ovulated and that I was happy about this because I wasn't sure if I was and that it meant all further sexytime is for recreation only.
He replied with 'oh, I'd forgotten we were trying'!

Probably for the best. No point in him obsessing too.

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 30/08/2011 18:40

Pipbin, couldn't agree with you more about keeping DPs in the dark about the details of our cycles, I'll have to make even more of an effort to jump him more randomly so that he won't get performance anxiety when it really matters! Wink

Pipbin · 31/08/2011 21:23

Come on girls, where are you all?
I want to do some phantom symptom spotting!

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 31/08/2011 21:27

Ok, just fo

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 31/08/2011 21:39

My fingers are way too fast today. Was going to say that although I'm only just past OV (maybe 3 dpo) and there's only a very slim chance of anything interesting going on I've been symptom spotting like mad today. I seem to keep getting these very light twinges in my lower abdomen and keep imagining all sorts. I bet I've had them loads of times before but am only noticing them now as they could be a sign of something. Hmm

Timtam78 · 31/08/2011 22:22

Keep checking but no symptoms for me :( Day 21 no sign of anything and no temp shifts. booooo. oh well guess I was being optimistic that I'd have a normal first cycle!

Readynow · 01/09/2011 09:33

Think I ov'd yesterday or CD14 (am on CD16 today). Have had lots of SWI over the past week - managed 5 times!! :o :o So now it is onto the 2ww for me.
Will be obsessing over any little thing I'm sure.

Lucylucy57 · 01/09/2011 10:01

Good luck MrsSET! Its looking pretty good!

Im pretty sure that I havent ovulated this month given my temps. Think Im going to have a crack with the fertility monitor next month. I hate not knowing whats going on in there!

Florin · 01/09/2011 10:08

Hello ladies can I join, well rejoin! I was part of the thread about a year ago but gave up as I felt I needed to chill out more about it all. Now feeling much better about it all and I miss the support I got from this thread. We have been trying for 20 months now. I was diagnosed with both pcos and mild endometretris. In January I had ovarian drilling and they zapped the few bits of endo away. Anyway still not pregnant so this month took 50mg of clomid had to have scan early due to the bank holiday to check if it had worked which showed I had one egg that looks possible although still a little small (but I was scanned on day 10) so there is still hope for this month, luckily been on holiday for my fertile period so had plenty of chances to try and get it to work Grin been told if it doesn't work I have to take 100mg of clomid next month. Anyway that's all about me I think. Looking forward to getting to know all you ladies.

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 01/09/2011 23:04

Well, 30 days after my erpc, and with Designated POAS Day on Saturday, I had a little bit of blood when I wiped this evening...Sad I suppose it was a long shot that I would get pg straight after mc, but I was hoping... At least, if this is AF on the way, then it means the beginning of a back-to-normal cycle, one I can really get my teeth into!

wallydog · 01/09/2011 23:23

Hello ladies - room for a little one? I'm on day 28 of 32-34 cycle and am 9dpo. I may test in the morning - been having slight af cramps just on the left - so hoping not af and implantation! Fc. Big Congrats to the ladies who hAve their BFP's and good luck and babydust to all! Xxxx

wallydog · 01/09/2011 23:28

Sorry to hear that latetothisbabymalarky hope you get your BFP soon. X

Pipbin · 01/09/2011 23:29

If I stare at my nipples hard enough they are sure to get bigger aren't they? And that slight cramp. It's not just indigestion at all.

hey guys this is an in depth of PCOS by the Medical journal of australia

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 02/09/2011 07:36

Here we go, CD1, exactly 30 days after the erpc - I should be thankful, some people have to wait longer than that for their first post-mc AF... Let the ov countdown begin!

Lucylucy57 · 02/09/2011 14:10

Good luck Late, it will be reassuring for you that your cycle is getting back to normal. Following my ectopic, mine took a little while and I was beside myself willing it to appear just so I knew things were still working in there.
This month however is a different story but Ive been spotting for the last four days now and its day 27. Given that they are usually 31 Im expecting an unwelcome visitor any day. Cramps too. Booo!!

FloydieDoydie · 02/09/2011 15:16

I got a BFP yesterday! Grin Himself and I can't stop grinning, we are so excited. I had told him I'd been out on my motorbike and said that it turned out I had brought a passenger - the look of confusion on his face before realisation dawned was so cute Smile

So looks like I'm due 7th May, but will go to doctors next week to confirm. Pray my passenger holds on tight!

bradderswantsababy · 02/09/2011 15:37

Congrats Floydie what a great start to the weekend

FX your passenger holds on tight Grin

I am 2 days away from officially being able to test ( I have tested a few time already all with a BFN) I dont hold out much hope as its my 1st month off the pill. If nothing else if AF does arrive I will be able to track better :)

Anytime · 02/09/2011 16:24

Hi everyone - can I join you properly please, in need of some shared insanity!

Congratulations to Floydie.

We've been trying for 2 months but been waiting to start trying since feb as had to wait for some tablets I take to get out of my system.

I had day 21 bloods done this month (except I ended up getting them on day 24 (oops) but hoping it doesn't matter too much as it was a 31 day cycle. Get the results tonight. Had them done as my hair has been falling out for a few months in handfuls and my periods have been getting gradually more odd since I stopped taking the pill in jan, currently on day 10 of my period!

Oh well looking forward to joining you all, hoping for a lucky few months for us all!

Anytime · 02/09/2011 16:25

Ps supposed to be working from home but have dedicated a large part of the day to fertility obsessing!

Readynow · 02/09/2011 16:42

Congratulations to Floydie& welcome Anytime!
Me, I am currently in my 2ww of my 7th cycle of ttc. Hopefully I am lucky this month :) But if not I am off to the GP to start tests.
Will really try hard not to obsess about symptoms & to not spend too much time on Mumsnet - yeah right! :o

cookiemoo · 02/09/2011 19:15

Congrats floydie!!!
welcome back florin, I remember you, hope your return is brief and you get your bfp soon.
I'm in the 2ww at present, just had my fourth cycle of clomid. Horrible side effects this month so it'd be nice if this was our lucky month!! Fingers crossed! Grin

wallydog · 02/09/2011 21:17

Congrats floydie !!
I did a first response test this morning and got a BFN - boo! So waiting for AF now (due Wed).
I may test again if not arrived, but still getting niggles on the left side only!

Hope you don't mind me crashing - as no-one objected??? Wink

vanfurgston · 02/09/2011 22:45

hugs Floydie thats amazing news Wine
hearty congratulations

Bleats · 03/09/2011 10:50

Hello all , I hope I can join your thread.

Def not up duffed at the moment so looking forward to this month of trying (inc a trip to Rome). I have a whole series of drunken conferences coming up at the end of the month which will be hard to explain non-drinking activity so I am thinking that as it will be so akward it has to happen this month. I hope!
