June BFP thread! come join us!

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Thought I would take the plunge and start the June thread! I won't be getting my May BFP as my cycles are sooooooo long. Who's. With me?

Hello Nicola and kfforever!

Pinkie to your 30 internet cheapies!

So, I cracked yesterday -tested and got BFN! But, that's pretty much what I expected so not feeling disappointed at all. I ran out of my OV sticks and really just wanted to POAS! This is my first cycle of TTC, so not really expecting much anyway. I confess to being another poas addict!

It was only 8 dpo presuming a very early OV on CD7. Some people claim to have had a BFP on 8 dpo, so obviously I had to try! It is CD16 today of a usual 28 day cycle, so I am still in the game for June.

I am a little confused now as started having OV symptoms last night -CD15 (really thought OV was on CD7). So, we DTD'd and now hoping for the best. Maybe I had two OV's this cycle?! Anyway, I am keeping away from further tests until AF now (I hope but won't guarantee!)

We used Concieve+ this month - and dtd EOD from cd5 through to cd19, but every day during 5 supposedly fertile days according to MN conception predictor thingy - and as I was feeling particularly frisky . DH was knackered! We got a result this month.

When trying for the other DC: DS1 we went hell for leather on honeymoon and the month after with desired result. With DS2 we stopped dtd around cd11 as I wanted to try for a girl - unsuccessful for 4 months, gave up being controlled and went hell for leather and were successful that month. Exactly the same with DS3.

Friends have been told to dtd EOD too. It seems to me that as many swimmers as possible is the way to go, as someone said earlier on?

Good luck to any testers or those on the 2ww.

Is that all conceive plus is for - for helping CM? Sorry, just don't know much about it but wondering whether to start on stuff like that next month if we're not lucky this month.

What CD are you on now when?

Sorry about af mresmellow - fx for next cycle.

By the way ladies, not a newbie - I've changed my name slightly from rodeo to drama, suits me and my situation better!

amaya maybe wait until at least 10DPO to test again? And keep dtd in the meantime just in case!

Queen, yes -will definitely wait now. As much fun as it is to poas, those tests are not cheap!

Wilde Because of the timing of your spotting (9dpo), I will be a realistic optimist and suggest that it could have been implantation bleeding -fx! At least you won't have to wait too long before you find out!

Drama - yep. All they are good for is helping you when you don't have too much CM

If you aren't dry or lacking in CM, don't use them :)

You can't ovulated twice in one cycle. Sorry :(

I discovered last cycle that CM increase and decrease and changes etc etc is not a sign of pg.

The only thing that will happen is you will get a BFP. That's the first sign of pregnancy. ALL the other symptoms only kick in after missed AF and BFP

Please be practical with me this month :D

I am on CD8 and going of the opinion this month that there will be:

NO symptom spotting (it's impossible until after 13DPO)
NO sticks whatsoever
NO google (it's prime group mentality)

DTD lots! It has worked for EVERYONE

And we have ordered some fertility tests that you take at home so we can both just try it and see for fun.

But that's it. That's what we're doing this month :D

More Coffee : temping has to be done at the same time every morning before you do anything, to get a reliable chart you can take it vaginally which gives a more reliable chart as things such as snoring etc can change your temp. Ovusoft website has a lot of info and the book taking charge of your fertility by toni weschler is a mine of information.
HTH

Wild : spotting can be helped by taking a vitamin b complex but it has to have all the b vitamins in it otherwise they are not balanced.

Buzz : you can only ovulate once in a month but you can release two eggs, use your cm as a guide the more eggwhite consistency the closer you are to ovulation.

And remember that temping is only a guide to work out what your cycles are like.

You pick up the temperature spike when you have already ovulated

Which is why temping isn't a good idea when actually TTC

Woah! You have all been busy posters. At this rate, we will have got to 1000 posts before June even gets here.

@wilderumpus .. I got an AF 28 days exactly after the ERPC. We DTD during the WTF month but nothing came of it. I didn't look for OV particularly so not even sure if I did? I would think that as long as it is brown blood it is still a little bit of the old pregnancy. And if you have only just got your BFN, do you think you could still ovulate with HCG in your system. I have to admit until I got the BFN, I assumed there was no way I would be able to conceive. But that was just an assumption of mine, not based on any medical information!

@amaya .. Step away from the piss sticks! I fell for that last month and it is a nit are getting bfns every day. Wait til your day you would start AF. It sounds like you are OVing now so perhaps earlier in the month was just a confusion?

Cd16 for me and I am sure I have oved now. So I think I will class this as dpo1 just to give it a timescale. We are off on hols for the half term which is perfect for keeping my head space clear. too busy getting organised to think about testing.

@morecoffee .. I went to lanzerote last year to costa teguise and we had the best time. the local council for the resort have thrown a LOT of money at the place, everything is clean, new, gorgeous. best playgrounds ever. Kids were in heaven. I hope you have an amazing time.

We have been DTD most nights, went to have a night off last night but I panicked that it would mean us missing the boat, so jumped H this morning before the alarm went off! ha! Swim swim as fast as you can. there is an egg I want you to meet! I think we will now aim for EOD until the AF or Bfp.

Echo kicking on the conceive plus info! Tmi time! I literally have to get a finger to the back of my cervix to find it and even then it was only a tiny amount but was undercooked egg consistency and very stretchy what I did find! Just want to help the swimmers if I can!

Kicking in going to try follow your lead and be sensible and practical during the 2ww!

Cannot remember who as about a false negative on the op sticks? I'm not sure if your urine could have been diluted but logically you'd think so? I always do mine at 2pm and make sure I haven't been to the loo for at least 4hrs, hard for me as I normally pee all the time but trying to train my bladder to hold it in longer

Thanks for your help guys :)

Thanks home. Am taking b vits complex (well, pregnacare) to help with PMT and fatigue. Am obsessed with b vits and their wonderful properties :) Am not spotting as such though, was just the once.

kicking hate to be a bugger but I had symptoms before AF with both my previous pregnancies! hehe! Personal to me though, not generic like sickness or owt :) IIRC most people don't though.

I am a POAS addict too amaya! 8dpo waaaay to early lady, step away! 10dpo at the earliest and that will probably be bfn so don't be disappointed.

ted thanks for sharing your experience. It makes me feel very sad that I might be still mc'ing. Am going to chill today and try and sort my head out. You can ov when having BFPs, I know a couple of pregnancies on this here MN where this was the case, but no, until you have a BFP you can't know if you ov'ed and made a baby...

I hope you get to enjoy the sun ladies!

Yes but at that point, they would have been typical AF symptoms as a result of the increase of progesterone.

They only become pg symptoms when the brain is told to switch off menstruation and when the placenta releases hormones.

So it's pointless to symptom spot because we ALL get them. They only become pg symptoms at 13DPO.

If I was pregnant this month, I would have every single symptom. But I am not pregnant. So it's just as a result of progesterone after OV and before AF

If you know what I mean?

Just to add to that - if I did have a BFP, I would then be able to join every other women who says that their pre-AF symptoms were (in fact) pregnancy symptoms.

So, when I finally do fall pregnant and (like every other month), I get symptoms of AF up until 13DPO, I can FINALLY say that my symptoms were from pregnancy.

Even though I had them every month leading up AF.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. :D

Just checking in quickly with a question and will catch up on what I've missed later! So ky question-

Had lots of ewcm yesterday but it was streaked quite a lot with blood. I know this is tmi, sorry! It was only when I wiped (on 2 occasions). Some cm this morning, slightly brown rather than red. Do you think this was ovulation or implantation or something else?

I've had ovulation spotting and apparently it's a sign of fertility to get some blood streaks.

Are you sure it's the right time to OV?

Hop to it!!! Oh and make sure you do it EOD for the rest of the week. Remember that you can ovulate and release the egg a few days later so be all hopping for another week!

Although I suppose the other questions should be:

What day are you on your cycle?
When you should you/will you ovulate?
How long is your normal cycle?

For example - if you are CD10 and your cycle is normally 25 days long, you should OV ono CD12 - the blood (since brown blood is older) could either be early OV or some late AF drops.

If you're CD22 and you cycle is 25 days long, it could be implantation or pre-AF spotting.

no kicking i didn't have AF symptoms. Totally did not, this is how last time I knew I was pregnant; I noticed I was happy and had lots of energy, cramps were different, sore boobs different... when pre-AF I am pretty depressed and cross (to the point of going back on the pill to alleviate pmt). My experience is mine though, everything is relative - even each pregnancy is different :) If you don't want to symptom spot and think it is pointless because in your experience there is no difference to pre-AF symptoms, don't.

more that sounds weird! Where are you in your cycle do you think?

HA yes! That's more my understanding of it.

A complete lack of symptoms is probably more positive than having symptoms :)

I never get sore breasts and the last two months, my breasts have been very sore. The first month was right from OV until AF, the second was a sudden arrival on the day AF was due until the 4 days late arrival of AF.

I think my point is more that searching for reasons to be pregnant leaves you with a further way to fall if AF arrives. Since it's not an exact science, it's best to not torture yourself because there is nothing that's convincingly a correct pregnancy symptom.

Apart from a missed AF and a BFP... :)

definitely agree kicking that looking to be preggo before getting a BFP leaves you frustrated and disappointed when AF comes/get BFNs. A good symptom spotting session is quite fun though, I find, and am happy to take the risk :)

And indeed we aren't clairvoyant, just people getting on in a stressful situation and that is why we are here, being neurotic and silly and obsessed together, keeping each other company (and sane) in our relative madnesses :) It's lovely, i think. And lucky you that you are on the more rational end of the spectrum. I love a good symptom spot, love to poas and google too much so probably at the other end!

Anywho... I feel very periody today! So obviously think I am pregnant

My kitten keeps chasing flies. she is utterly hilarious!

Cd27 today, although my cycles are often long and unpredictable, although usually 35-40 days. I think it is probably Ov time. Will get on with dtd later :) just in case

Wilde your kitten sounds sooo cute. I know what you mean with symptom spotting I know for a fact that I had no clear symptoms (other than no af) until at least 16dpo. It probably won't stop me symptom spotting in the 2ww though.

It does sound like ov morecoffee have fun winkleing tonight.

wilde - that does sound very promising, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

homeaway/morecoffee - I'd be nervous about temping vaginally... we might have another situation lik whenshewas's hubby! LOl

I told my hubby that you havenamed legs in the air after me and he found it hilarious!

I am most certainly not logical or practical. I symptom spot and it's just a letdown so now I want to believe that if I am oblivious (never going to happen), then I won't be so letdown when AF arrives.

It's how I manage my sanity :)

I have consulted Dr Google and the general consensus is that my 'streaky' ewcm could be...... ovulation. or it could be implantation! so still none the wiser. Will plod on with dtd eod/ as much as possible and hope for the best!
