Had a search for a may BFP thread and couldn't see one (please correct me if there is!) so thought I'd start one..

curiousgeorgie - TTC #2 - Testing April 29th

StephieFranks · 26/04/2012 13:21

It seems that you and i Hai are both Confused.com

LittleMissSnowShine · 26/04/2012 13:23

hello everyone and good luck to winkle and morecoffee for tomorrow!

And sorry georgie Sad Hope another test has a better result for you!

Stephie - I was all over the place after I stopped ebf when DS was 9 months, hormones everywhere. Took a couple of months for things to calm down! In saying that, no reason it couldn't be something like OV or implantation bleeding??

I'm on CD23 and this has been the strangest cycle for me. For the first time I actually know what day I am on, which is quite nice, but because of my crap attempt at temping and a lack of EWCM, I have no idea whether I have even OV or not this month, or whether this is going to be a super long cycle so OV might still be just around the corner. Very strange!!

Anyway, trying not to really think about it and not going to even think about poas until next Friday, cos I have a wedding reception to go to next Sat night lol

And until AF shows up, guess I'll just keep dtd...heigh ho heigh ho it's off to work we go Wink

tedmundo · 26/04/2012 14:00

Hello everyone. Ohh good luck for the testing tomorrow ladies. I am getting quite addicted to my dip sticks now. I have 15 preg tests sat in a drawer ... I cannot wait to get testing. I am 2dpo today so will stick to the 8th as my testing day. Or I may sneak a cheeky one in on the 7th if I can't control myself.

I am symptom spotting as I found a website that describes really
early preg symptoms. One is that cm changes to be a bit more thick and creamy. Which mine has. Also dull aches a bit in my womb area. Or could just be a touch of wind?

I am trying to drop a few pounds over the next couple of weeks. I put on 5lbs with the pregnancy I miscarried back in march and have added on another 2 with being miserable. I am a titch so half a stone does not sit well on me. Hence the knowing tummy area looks. Humph.

Steph and hai ... It must be a pain not knowing when the ov occurred. Wil you keep the original test dates? Stock up on Internet cheapies.

OpenMindedSceptic · 26/04/2012 14:02

right - CD21, no OV yet. NOt sure what to do if the smiley face appears tomorrow - DH is out in the evening and then we have visitors on saturday (they are also staying overnight). Not many opportunities to DTD Confused

RIBS · 26/04/2012 14:10

I havent been on for a couple of days. Nothing to tell tbh. CD14, no sign of ov (i can see that a few of you are about as clueless as me with whats going on in the downstairs innerds!!)

F*ing clomid, I dont think its working. Ive had no ov pain or anything. Back off to see gynae next week, so see what he says -except he's really foriegn and I struggle to understand a bloody word he's saying. I had to get him to write the medication instructions down when I got clomid.

Ive started POOSing (peeing on ov sticks) on day 9. Having great difficulty fior the last 2 days. Dropped the pee catching beaker down the loo, as i was emplying it, got splashed in the fact and eye by toilet "water". Yest managed to throw the ov stick into the cup with the little sillicon packet thingy (which makes loud popping noises) then dropped the cup and pee all over the floor. FFS!!!!

Good luck morecoffee and winkle tomorrow. Will be checking in the morning to see if we've got our 1st BFP. georgie its early days yet. Dont lose hope!!

More babydancing for me tonight. Got the Conceive Plus at the ready, didnt get an applicator so got a syringe - it'l do same job. DP can apply liberally, does that count as foreplay? Im sooo gonna get CP squirted in my eye, it'l go well with the pee! Grin

StephieFranks · 26/04/2012 14:55

Ted i have no idea what to do about testing seeing as i'm experiencing some kind of light bleed, if it hasn't turned into AF by the time i get home i guess i will POAS OV & PG in case it is either or like LittleMiss suggests OV or implantation bleed Hmm Confused Dunno??

RIBS · 26/04/2012 15:25

steph maybe looking good for an implantation bleed, looking at your dates.
Not sure if positive pg test would show up yet tho. If AF hasnt arrived by tomorrow it may be looking good??? But I do sometimes get random bleeds, possible cervical erosion etc. I had 2 in a 63 day cycle, they were brown/ bit red from time to time - very light. No idea why, I think im just made that way. Or maybe your bits are just sore and bruised from all the BDing!! Grin

I know its a nightmare when you dont know whats going on my period are 5 -9 weeks without the clomid, then you get random bleeds n stuff and you dont know whether you're coming or going! My last period came 18 days after ovulation, I didnt know it was possible to go as long as that after ovulation.

Men!! They dont know how easy they have it. And they dont know the daily stress you have when your TTC and its worse when your bodys all f*ed up and not working. Wine all round ladies!!

StephieFranks · 26/04/2012 16:06

Who knows Ribs! my brain is a bowl of jelly from over thinking everything

I had a cervical erosion about ten years ago and had cryotherapy on it was 19 ish, and touch wood since then it has been fine so don't think that - prob just the start of AF Sad As i feel very 'periody' achey with it.

I've a shed load of all sorts of pee sticks so i can POAS till my heart is content i guess inconclusively as usual i suspect

DH did say he was going to give me some TLC (makes me sightly uneasy like he is up to/ after something Confused) later so i will look forward to that at least lol

RIBS · 26/04/2012 16:18

Sounds like he's after something. Make him work for it. A massage and takeaway and if it is AF, a bloody big bottle of wine!

If I ov on the clomid the same time as last month (which I suspect isnt working and i ov'd on my own) my DP will be on a stag weekend, for 4 days, more like 5 cos he aint gonna be up for anything by the time he gets back, his little swimmers will be pickled!! Bah.

Sick of if's. Very Envy to all on regular 28 -32 day cycles.

StephieFranks · 26/04/2012 16:20

Well ladies it's just AF after just 26 days with no known OV this cycle Sad

curiousgeorgie · 26/04/2012 16:47

Thanks everyone.... To be honest, we've only dtd twice this month! (as opposed to everyday but two last month!) had a friend staying and it makes for a bit of an awkward situation so we mostly just left it :p I don't think it's my month. No symptoms apart from tiredness (but with an 18 month old I think that's pretty standard!)

Good luck to everyone else :)

morecoffeemorecoffee · 26/04/2012 16:58

Sorry to hear that stephie that's such a shame :(

georgie isn't it a pita when life just seems to get in the way of ttc! You.never know though, if you've dtd your in with a chance!

ribs you know I totally empathise with you. My cycles are as bad as yours. It's so bloody hard isn't it.

morecoffeemorecoffee · 26/04/2012 17:12

I'm so tired. I'm sleeping 8 or 9 hours a night this week which is not like me. I normally get about 6 max plus I normally work 2 nights. Working this Saturday, but not worked in over a week so I'm obviously hoping that this is a good sign. I'm wondering whether to test tomorrow or leave it for a few more days. I have 7 FRER tests here, so could test every day for the next week I guess.

LittleMissSnowShine · 26/04/2012 17:19

Stephie - Sorry to hear that, but hopefully that's your hormones getting back on track post baby and bf/ing and you'll be all set for next month. Feb 2013 will be a great time for a baby too, I'm a February Piscean-type and I say it's a great month for a birthday!

Wine or actually probably Brew to everyone poas or symptom spotting or generally feeling down about things. Come on universe, let one of us ladies get a BFP this week and start the ball rolling for everyone!!

After I was complaining musing re: the lack of EWCM this month and possible lack of OV, I went for a wee an hour ago and....EWCM? Or dats what it looks like anyway...on CD23! I am very confused! Well DTD tonight tho Wink

toobreathless · 26/04/2012 17:21

morecoffee sounds very promising! Are you testing tomorrow?

Stephie :( for you.

ribs How far away is the stag weekend? Can you go up or DH come home for a night? Or DH go for half of it?

Not much happening here, implant came out almost exactly a month ago & (apparently) fertility usually returns to normal immediately. No sign of AF or ovulation but, to be honest, not sure I would notice it. Bit tricky not knowing where I am in my cycle/if I'm even having a cycle! As you can see I'm not the most patient person.

Hai1988 · 26/04/2012 18:08

hummm littlemiss very curious, as you said just carry on dtd untill the end of this cycle as our bodys dont seem to know what there doing.

Bloating and quesyness seems to have passed now so god knows what that was this afternoon ?

Had Best friends DD being all snuggly with me this afternoon and BF thought maybe she could sense something on me Hmm
Anyone believe this could be true ?

LittleMissSnowShine · 26/04/2012 18:14

Hai - hmm, dunno, but my lil kitty cat knew when i was preg and he used to snuggle up on the sofa and rest his head on my tummy very protectively and purr. So the urban legend that kids / animals have heightened senses about this kind of stuff might have something to it? Hopefully anyway, fx!!

Ribs - Sounds like rubbish timing this month, but maybe as breathless suggests, there's a compromise to be made in there somewhere?

Breathless - Bah, impatience...

winkle2 · 26/04/2012 19:54

I didn't manage to get a test today so going to wait till Monday and just have a couple of glasses of wine and not go too mad this weekend.

Question for you girls - do your OHs drink and smoke?

CraftyGirly · 26/04/2012 20:38

evening all, hope theres lots of DTD going on! since I figure I've passed O this month we're having a well earned rest!
stephie sorry to hear about AF arriving, although if you have short cycles you might still be on track for testing at the end of May??

been feeling a bit indigestioney for the last few days, probably nothing tho cos it's waaaay to early for any signs!

My DH has just told me the freakiest thing! someone he works with asked him out of the blue if his wife was pg! As we havent told anyone we are TTC, he obv said No, and asked why, and the person told him that they had a psychic reading yesterday, and the psychic told them that someone with the first initial of my DH's first name was going to have a baby Shock

now if I get a BFP that is going to be so FREAKY that a blooming psychic (who I didnt even see) knew before I even did! Grin its like getting the info third hand before I've even taken a test lol! still too early to test, only about 5DPO (even iI even O'd) by my reckoning and AF due 8th May so the next week is gonna be HELL!

anyone else had any psychic connections whilst TTC? :)

RightUpMyRue · 26/04/2012 20:46

Hi all,

Hope you're all OK and DTD plenty Smile

I'm on CD9 here and have DTD CD 6 and 8 so still on track for EOD. Have been using the conceive plus lube and I really like it just as a lube nevermind the fact it may be helping with conception.

winkle DP gave up smoking about 6 months ago. He drinks a couple of beers every night, more at the weekend. Is it affecting our chances of conception? I don't know but 1000's upon 1000's of people conceive whilst they're completely pissed so it isn't affecting their reproduction. Having said that though we're on TTC cycle 14 now and have only managed one early miscarriage on cycle 11 so the beers he drinks may be affecting our chances but for DP giving up the beers is about the biggest ask ever so I don't think it'll ever happen.

Why do you ask?

winkle2 · 26/04/2012 20:56

Crafty - very spooky!

Rue - my hubs drinks a few around 3 times a week. When he drinks he smokes a couple of fags. I'm the same. Just wondering how much this is affecting our chances.

OpenMindedSceptic · 26/04/2012 21:16

stephie sorry to hear that!
crafty that's spooky! somebody asked my DH recently if I was pregnant - but nothing to do with a psychic though

winkle DH doesn't smoke and drink socially 2-4 times a week (with clients)

wishfulthinking1 · 26/04/2012 21:37

I'm on my phone do its hard to go back and name check everyone but...

Bummer to anyone with AF
All symptoms sound good for those on 2ww- will check back first thing tomorrow for BFP updates!!
And for everyone who is OV, might be OV, or arent sure if they're OV- shag, shag, shag- we can do it!!

Xxxx
