Yeah, winkle there's no need to worry yet. With DD, I remember getting absolutely hammered a little tipsy on CD 31 cause I was so sure it was a "no" that month. 24/7 nausea kicked in at about 8 weeks though Wink.

winkle2 · 02/07/2012 13:43

I don't know when to test... when would you girls recommend? 14/15 DPO?

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 13:55

Winkle winkle if it were me you know I'd have poas allready!!! Grin
If you can last til dpo14/15 though I'm sure you'll get a more accurate result, especially if you may have ovd later then monitor said I guess

resipsa · 02/07/2012 13:55

Well, "they" (whoever they are) say the luteal phase is pretty much fixed at 14 days so if you test at 14DPO, you're likely to get the true picture. A few days to hang on in there but fx for you.

redstrawberry · 02/07/2012 14:20

oh winkle the waiting is frustrating, but yes as repisa and kitty say - if you can hold on till 14dpo then you will get an accurate result.

its difficult not to POAS though... i remember feeling equally torn to do it before!

winkle2 · 02/07/2012 14:27

I can't afford to waste money on tests so I think I'll wait till Saturday which will be CD29 so 14/15 DPO. I have a hen do that evening so it will be good to know if I can drink or not ? please please please I don't want to drink!

Is trumping like a trooper a sign? If yes, I must be carrying triplets, I'm sooooo windy!

Hi, I can get a bit of a signal out here.

I seem to have dropped off the list. Still no af, cd38 here, I'm starting to allow myself a glimmer of hope again. Last tested cd36 - when I thought I was due on - and bfn but it's weird I've no af yet. Technically I'm still in with a chance? No tests here but home on Thurs, if no af I'll test again then - on the 5th.

Will prob come on tonight now I've posted all that!

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 15:54

Wow sunshine cd38, that's long cycle, are they usually that long?
I've a glimmer of hope for you too! Smile

Well, I've only had one period since stopping bf. Before that my last one was Oct 2010 before I got pregnant with dd. I had only come off the pill for about 3 cycles then, but I think I was about a 35 day cycle before. So tbh I don't really know how long my cycles are at all.

likesoxinbed · 02/07/2012 17:58

resipsa I'm with you and waiting until the 16th June. I like having someone to share the wait with, thanks! :) and winkle you are near too?

Not had chance to read back through all the threads but I think a heart felt congratulations is in order to a couple of people?? :o

Lovely news!

OpenMindedSceptic · 02/07/2012 19:51

Hello,

CD28/30 here. Have some twinges, they feel like AF Is about to arrive and really really tired atm. Also strange cravings for beetroot salad and garlic?! Aprt from that nothing new to report!

fatasbutter · 02/07/2012 20:25

Hello!
Just wanted to say, wishful that there is plenty of room in my depression cave! I have made it so comfy and welcome you for some good old tea and sympathy - are you still lurking or are you hiding like I was for the last day?! Wretched AF is so painful and heavy this month - extra special torture!!

Massive good luck to all those testing in the next few days! Need some news to cheer us up and get us back on the TTC horse (as it were) x

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 20:48

So due to dtd tonight, last chance til fri night as dh shifts and we've had a row, feeling really irritated at him but have I got to get over it and shag him anyway?!?
I hate shifts!
I hate arguing!
I hate ttc madness!
I hate dh!
Where's that cave!!!!!

RIBS · 02/07/2012 21:13

Kitty. Just do it. Angry sex is often quite good and u can make it a bit rough if u like and give him a bit of a slap and a bite and say u just got carried away. Lol.

The latest here is, I'm oving, just got positive ov test. Don't think it'll pop til later in the wk tho. Plus I'm having tin acupuncture on Weds so that's good timing really. Dtd last nite, gonna have another go 2nite as well I think. The epo is defo having an effect! Yey.

Open and sunshine. When r u testing? Ur both sounding good. I've got everything crossed 4u 2 winkle. Not long til Saturday. Hope u don't c any sign of af 4 at least 9 months.

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 21:24

I think I will but just got in bed and my cat bit my nipple?!
Weird and gross! Not a good start
Ribs is this first cycle with epo and what difference to your days has it made? I started this month but not til cd7, cd12 today, will it make ov sooner?

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 21:26

Plus how much are you taking? The extra strong are only 1000mg but some seem to be taking bigger doses then this?

winkle2 · 02/07/2012 21:31

Thanks for your message RIBS, that's so kind of you to think about me. When you say the EPO is having an effect do you mean increased EWCM or early OV? As I thought it caused my early OV.

kitty - have some make up sex :)

fingers crossed for you sunshine! you def deserve a bfp after all your dtd this month!

likesoxinbed - my BFP is due this weekend. Good luck for you for the 16th.

openminded - hope she stays away!

And hi to everyone I havent name checked :)

scubastevie · 02/07/2012 21:32

Hi all :)
Some of you may remember me from a couple months ago on these threads. Sorry to see some of you still here, but congrats to those with BFPs!

Sorry to high jack the thread but not getting many responses on the thread I started and wondered if any of you lovely ladies knew the answer as I'm really confused...

So I'm in the 2 ww. Now every month about 4 days after OV (day 14 of 28 cycle) I get sore boobs, then about a week before AF due get spots round chin :( and v. Bloated tummy.

I've read on here that actually if you are pg its unlikely you'd get any symptoms at all at this stage. So, does that mean I would expect NOT to have sore boobs, spots and bloat, OR does it mean my body doesn't yet know due to not implanting yet and therefore i'd have these symptoms anyway?! Please help :(

RIBS · 02/07/2012 21:35

Ha ha. Kitty. Iv heard of Cat nip! But really!

Taking 1500mg epo. Loads more cm. Had ewcm from about cd 8 or 9. Cos I'm on clomid its dried me up a bit. I only started taking it on cd 5. Bloody marv stuff.

winkle2 · 02/07/2012 21:42

Hi scuba, I remember you! But I don't know the answer to your question, sorry. Someone more knowledgeable is bound to come along soon.

RIBS - have you found EPO has made OV come earlier?

OP posts:
winkle2 · 02/07/2012 21:43

lol @ cat nip! not a good start!!

congratulation KFF and Flowery great news.

Sorry wishful that AF arrived sending you a big hug

feeling mine is on the way as getting a few cramps, bit disappointing as my scan showed 3 eggs waiting to be released but maybe it was not meant to be, I will have a better idea on the 12th.
It is hard to stay positive while ttc for so long and it becomes an emotional roller coaster. It is nice to have group of girls to share things with so sending you all some good vibes Smile

kittykatsforever · 02/07/2012 21:45

So do you take more then one pill? I'm abit scared of taking more then one incase I overdose on epo lol

redstrawberry · 02/07/2012 21:47

I'll add you back on sunshine will update the list tomorrow. On the phone app right now.

I'm on 2000mg Epo and already lots of EWCM on cd6. It's amazing stuff really!
