Hello! Well I'm in 2ww now - ov'd yesterday!

Poor effort this month on the sex front so feeling less than optimistic already. Think I got day of ovulation though so you never know!

Penguinttc · 26/01/2014 20:36

I might have to google this about the ankles... Any excuse for a foot rub lol

Jessica78 · 27/01/2014 07:09

Also in the two week wait from Thurs /Fri!! Good luck everyone xxx

spinningirl10 · 27/01/2014 07:51

Morning ladiesGrin

We've decided to have a week away, just get a late deal somewhere sunny!! So we'll be off when af is due in 2 weeks!!! Hope I get a bfp, the witch isn't wanted on holiday Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 27/01/2014 08:18

Morning!!

Can I officially take my seat.
TTC #1 cycle 4 (1st post mc) BFP 7th Feb

This is my wtf cycle story so far:
Well this cycle really is fucked up! Had some weird brown spotting on Thursday/Friday which I was hoping was implantation. Although ff hadn't picked up ov as my temps have been very weird.
Then I just assumed it was a long drawn out prelude to AF.
Now ff has given me an ov date of Friday according to my temps!! DTD very late Wednesday and last night. Bloody typical it happened when DH was out the country!! And that was CD 25 so it looks like this is gonna be a long cycle and I'm now only 3dpo!

Phew! Sorry for the essay!! Wink

barmybunting · 27/01/2014 08:22

I'm a tad confused this morning... I joined the bus on sat after spotting started on Friday and continued on sat. But apart from spotting again yesterday morning, I've had nothing since. Given af normally lasts 7 days for me, I can't really count that as af I don't think so I have no clue what's going on! If I'm still in my Jan cycle, I'm on cd43 and 20dpo so I'm hoping af turns up properly today instead of this stupid spotting!

barmybunting · 27/01/2014 08:23

Happy holidays spinning!! Have a lovely time Smile . Hopefully it will be a wonderful holiday including a bfp!

broodysnoopstie · 27/01/2014 08:30

Barmy have you thought about POAS? I think you should

spinningirl10 · 27/01/2014 08:55

Thanks BarmyGrin

Your spotting is strange, fx af stays away and you get a bfp!!

gennibugs · 27/01/2014 10:27

Hi All

Ive been keeping a lowish profile too as finding this all quite draining and wanted to try and get some perspective on it all and think its helped! Im in my 2ww now so just going to keep busy and try not to think about it or symptom spot! (unlikely I know!)

Just been catching up and see the koala plan is still going strong amongst you! :)

Gingerbreadlady1 · 27/01/2014 10:53

Hi all, sorry for crashing. Barmy, sounds like it may be implantation bleeding, getting peeing lol!

Toots, my specialist said sex day before ov is best as gives the little blighters time to get to target so sounds like good timing to me. Fingers crossed for you ??

sazzlehopes · 27/01/2014 11:05

Tigsy - i'm not that ticklish but they press quite firmly so i think you'd be ok!

And to those asking when to go - missmrs snowbells my lady said as near to ov as possible - so the days leading up to it is best. I think i went the day before i ov. And once a month around ov is fine she said, no more...
And mine was £45 first session for one hour, then follow up session would have been £40.

Itschristmas - hope its lucky cycle14 for you too.

Missmrs - if he can spend that much on a computer for gaming you are definitely entitled to a reflexology session!!!! What cycle are you on? If necessary put a date on it so example - if we aren't preggo by cycle blah blah you get your treatment then...

Ooh spinning - where are you off to. Sorry if that is too nosy! Just roughly Wink

mama good luck staying crazy free over the next few days - have my fx for you.

mama31 · 27/01/2014 11:12

Thankyou sazzle! I'm trying to keep busy but at 6dpo now....and all I can think of and dream of is babies...my mind is out of control I am obsessed with getting my bfp and even when I'm trying to distract myself and keep busy then I dream about it in my sleep!!! Arrrggghhh when is this going to end with a big fat bfp for me!!!!

toots123 · 27/01/2014 13:22

Yeah ginger suppose we are in with a chance! Im feeling really positive this month and hoping if thia isnt our month then it will be soon! :)

Gingerbreadlady1 · 27/01/2014 13:31

Here! Here TOOTS, how long you been ttc? This is month 15 for me, it's a long ol' slog.

seasavage · 27/01/2014 13:31

Well i officially am going mad.

Last night I dreamt I got a BFP. Fortunately I maintained willpower and didn't POAS. I am absolutely not doing that until at least 12dpo (1st Feb) after AF due.
And then. HR have slotted me in a sickness review on Weds. As i was so rude as yo have a day off work when my migraines returned in december. I find myself thinking testing Weds at 9dpo might be good to not be sat there distracted by the wait for BFN.

I need a break. So, after this cycle i need to go cold turkey. A cycle off sticks. Gearing myself up for it now.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 27/01/2014 16:02

Sazzle, how'd you get on at the docs?

toots123 · 27/01/2014 16:36

Not long ginger this is second month since stopping pill at end of Oct. Im young and healthy so hoping it wont be long. 15 months huh, that must be hard. But then all that shagging isnt too bad lol. Have you spoken to your gp? Sorry if you've already told your story, I cant keep up with MN all the time!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 27/01/2014 16:58

Hey toots, everything's going in your favour then so you never know. This could be your lucky month. After so long, despite best efforts, the shagging is getting to be rather prescriptive when it's done ttc as opposed to fun. Yeah, gp's, specialists etc. trying 6 months on fertility drugs (this is month 1 of 6) then prob ivf which I'd obviously rather avoid!

toots123 · 27/01/2014 17:03

Yeah I hope so but you never know whats going to happen!!
.fingers crossed you on the meds. Have you tried reflexology? Sounds relaxing :)

If af comes this time im going for clear blue ovulation tests (the expensive ones!) Haha

missmrsmummy · 27/01/2014 17:05

Kitty like the idea but he will be here when I poas as he's so keen!

I'm game for poas party on 14th! Who else?

Thanks sazzle. Only on cycle 3 so I reckon I'll suggest it if no bfp by cycle 6. I'll be v stressed with SATs by then so I'll need it! Grin

Gingerbreadlady1 · 27/01/2014 17:18

Tried acupuncture one month but wasn't convinced. And it was so expensive on top of everything else I'm buying, opk tests, homeopathic stuff etc. Should have opened a new bank account for all this Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 27/01/2014 17:31

Interesting,you say that, barmy, my AF has been the shortest it has ever been-full 'flow' Thursday, completely finished by Saturday. Usually, my AF is 7+ days! Def try POAS again, seeing as you only had spotting, otherwise, it could just have been a little one Grin. (loving the Burns Night smileys!)

missmrs - Valentines Day will be particularly special for all of us on the Feb bus, with or without BFPs, I'm sure!

RetroHippy · 27/01/2014 17:49

Hello all

I'm still hoping I can catch that Jan bus at the last minute! 7DPO today and I caved and POAS this morning Blush. Nothing. Of course. Far too early.

I shall be POAS-ing daily until AF arrives or I get my bfp. I got a positive OPK, so I'm pretty sure I ovulated. and a making up all sorts of non-symptoms Just got to keep fingers (but never legs) crossed!

We're also in the middle of trying to sell our house, so it's all rather stressful. Will be glad when I know either way.

RetroHippy · 27/01/2014 17:50

Ooh, mama31, we could be bfp buddies! Hope you get your positive soon.
