If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 3)

[fedupofrainydays]

Still here, still ttc, still POAS, still symptom spotting, still counting days, still temping, still shagging and still absolutely nutty!!!

Sorry 2be, just saw you're around 2 dpo.

Has anyone decided not to poas this month?

Hey geta
Sending you a hug to help with this hideous ttc process. I can safely say this is the worst time of my life so far. And I feel bad saying that when the year it's been has been a whole year of my ds life which, with my husband, and the best things eve rhappened to me. So all a bit confusing.

I'm not even dpo yet... I'm cd 8. Should be getting pos opk in next few days (I hope). This is my first month temping too so will see what happens.

And I always decide not to POAS and fail miserably. I have my colposcopy tomorrow for my abnormal smear so a bit nervous about that but also trying to forget bout it.
So noone else with more rubbery than watery cm?!?!

Well neg opk this morn but my fertility signs are extremely good this month. I put the moon cup in last night straight after BDing and kept my legs elevated for about half an hour. When I took it out this morn I had the most massive stretchiest amount of clear EWCM mixed with semen. Much more stretchy than yesterday and about five times the amount.

To my mind with these signs I should be ovulating within the next few days. They say you are at your most fertile following a chemical pregnancy is I am going to keep BDing daily and fingers tightly crossed.

I think TTC is so should destroying as you're just waiting waiting waiting, hoping and waiting some more. Then trying to deal with crashing disappointment at the end if every cycle.

I think we need to concentrate on the positives. Let's list five positives each to help us feel a little better on this journey?

1. that I met my DP having spent much of my twenties and early thirties alone
2. having my beautiful son who I never thought I would have and now can't imagine life without.
3. to be moving to our new house next month which will be our first owner family house
4. to have my mum as a huge support and a great friend even though she is having a really tough time herself at the moment.
5. to be able to spend this time with my DS. I know I am EXTREMELY lucky not to have to have gone back to work and whilst it can be hugely frustrating not to be using my brain a little more, I know a lot of women would chew their right arm off to be a SAHM.

Good idea!!

1. I have an amazing husband who supports and loves me no matter what shit this world throws at us
2. I have the smiliest, happiest son who is the biggest blessing ever
3. We are financially ok. I can afford to give up work if I want to, I don't HAVE to work for us to live.
4. I have great set of friends and family nearby and afar to have fun and moan to!!
5. As far as I know we are healthy and can have babies. I just need to be patient (which am not!)

LOVELY fedup . You are extremely lucky, you only have to cast your eye over Active threads on this site so see what terrible situations others are going through right now. I know it's hard but it's also important to count our blessings occasionally xxx

Five things, hey?

1. My boy's laugh, and everything about him!
2. My mum who helps me all the time, makes me amazing clothes, and makes me feel sane.
3. My dad who is amazing and cheerful even though his chemo makes him feel tired.
4. My husband who works his arse off and is getting qualified to do better.
5. In a roundabout way my job, which though I hate and is the most stressful thing in the world, does help people and will lead to better things.

Hmmm pma makes me feel better. Thanks for the suggestion sebsmummy!

Re all the cervical mucous... lol. I have never had rubber mucous. I have got cottage cheese thrush at the minute... sebsmummy yours sounds out of control! Ha ha, with a ruler and all, so impressed!

Right that's it. I'm back on the cough medicine. Rubbery mucous does not seem the norm!

Loving all the PMA and I do thank God everyday for my amazing son. Love him.

Boobs and back hurting. Why?!?! My body is so odd and wish it would just be normal. No ovulation signs yet either so it's not that. Trying to ignore it all but failing.

Sleep well everyone. Having a microscope shone up my fanny tomorrow so that will be fun. Hopefully nothing will be wrong. Trying to forget about it all and not worry.

Hope all goes well fedup, and that you and your fanny are ok (!), it's natural to feel nervy, but it's good they're getting you in to have a look. That feels like it's taken a very long time. Your uncertain test results were quite a while ago. Hopefully that's a good sign. X

My 5 things:

1. We have a lovely 3 yr old dd who is an absolute pleasure to be around. She is just so sweet and lovely and curious.
2. We're ok for money atm
3. I don't hate my job and its only down the road.
4. Ive got 2 exciting nights out planned and its half term tomorrow
5. We're all in good health.

Aaaah these lists are making me smile

Fed up good luck today. I has to have treatment for abnormal cervical cells and it was totally painless and quick. You will be absolutely fine xxx

Well bded last night, neg opk this morn. I feel as though I should get a pos soon but an also aware that as I am using FMU there is a chance I could miss my surge. Not crosshairs on the FF app either so I'm going to keep on shagging until they tell me the horse has bolted and the fat lady is yodeling.

I test twice a day sebs when I'm nearer ov time - to make sure I catch my surge!! Last month it was neg at 3pm but pos at 6.30pm! Thanks for the good wishes for today. We dtd this morn in case this appointment cancels me out for this month. Although if they say I can't have sex then I'm out this month anyway as think ov will be Sunday ish.

Hope yr doctors appointment goes ok Fedup!

Can I do I list?

1. Baby boy number 1 is the cutest, funniest thing and the light of my life!
2. DH for being such a smarty pants and doing pretty cool things in his area of work and being a great daddy and partner.
3. Being lucky to live in a lovely house, all be it tiny it is home.
4. The end in sight for my current working career for the moment and the end of worrying over things that in the grand scheme of things are ridiculous! Bring on antenatal leave!
5. My little cell division, uterus burying bean that I hope will find a nice home in my womb and stick!

Ah that was fun, hope u lot don't mind me hanging around for a wee while, I think until the morning sickness starts I'm not going to get my head around this.

Does anyone know the best way to ensure you get a result on the cheap ovulation strips. I have never succeeded in getting a sniff if a second line on them. I think I am meant to not wee for 4 hours or not drink for 4 hours, something like that. I have some upstairs and I would be good to do one in the afternoon/evening and stick to my clearblue in the morn.

Yes. Don't wee for 4 hours and don't drink much in that period to ensure your wee is more concentrated

So.. They did a biopsy but will wait to hear results and what treatment is needed. Can't have sex for a few days so hoping our dtd this morning was enough or I ovulate later this month or I'm out.

Crap. Smiley face on digi opk. What do I do? Have sex anyway or ignore doctors advice? I have no discharge / bleeding since the biopsy...

Errm yes!! I would!

I'm totally confused now though and think it could be a false positive. I have no cm so that's what makes me wonder and when I took the stick out the lines are a blurry blue mess - no clear lines. So I think it's a false pos. thoughts? I will save up wee and do it again but really don't feel like its ov time yet

Well if it was me, I would research whether the no sex guidance after a biopsy is precautionary or whether there is a real risk of infection. If it is precautionary I would be having sex just incase.

I have such a good feeling about this month. We have been doing some very good BDing every day and all my fertility signs are excellent. I just need to see that bloody smiley face.

I've read to not have sex til the bleeding / yukky discharge stops but I've had nothing.
Saving up my wee to test again at 10

Opk was neg so taking it as false pos. I thought the digis were fool proof but no ! I think I will get my smiley for real tomorrow ( she hopes) but we were naughty and dtd this morn anyway.. I'm on cycle 9 after mc now, I'm not going to hang about!

Opk neg this morn

Opk positive this morn

What are you doing testing at this time of the morning?! Are you in uk? I'm 7dpo now, hoping to hold off until fri (12dpo). I've for a frer so that should be late enough.

Fedup just do it. Well I would anyway. And I don't know if my ewcm is rubbery or not. All I know is it doesn't let anything back out afterwards!! How long til biopsy results?
