Jesse, i have all day! being self-employed im supposed to be at my laptop doing work but im a little distracted today!
I drank my grapefruit juice, it was tropicana not from concentrate, pink grapefruit juice. A large glass everyday, even beyond ovulation. Though I stopped at the middle of last week. I got absolutely no ewcm so I thought it wasn't working! In fact, tmi, i was very dry altogether this month so it was very disheartening. GO figure!
Then we have both also been taking the pregnacare tablets from him and her, every evening after our meals. We haven't always been on time, and missed a few.
Also we did smep. I have a approximately a 34 day cycle. It fluctuates. I have gone as long as 41 days since I came off the pill. We missed dtd on Cd8 as we dtd on cd7, (you're supposed to start on cd8), we dtd on cd10, cd12, cd15, cd16, cd17, cd 21 and also cd26. I got a solid smiley on cd16, so we were supposed to dtd on cd16,17&18, but we were wrecked come 18 and fell asleep. I was very disappointed in myself!! lol. check back on my posts, i have really been struggling with the disappointment of ttc. This is our 12th cycle trying, i came off the pill in early Feb 2013 and i was confident something was wrong since it took so long. Ive just registered with my dh gp as wanted to get testing next cycle!
In terms on symptoms, i have had sore boobs from cd 22. Yesterday, this went away, so it lasted a whole week. I usually get sore boobs pre-af, but maybe only 5 days to a week before so this got my hopes up but I was trying to be sensible as my getting my hopes has really destroyed me in the past year. The pain was different thought, pre-af they are usually full and sore for 2 days, maybe 2. This was just like an achy pain. I kept pressing my boobs to see if it was still there as it got fainter in the last couple of days. Also on saturday, i was having some horrible abdominal pain, nothing us ladies can't manage though. I thought again in was an early af. Now tmi, but going to the toilet on Sunday was not pretty and on Sunday night, i definitely had the runs. i told hubby and he declared yesterday afternoon that he also had a jippy tummy and it must be something we ate. Maybe he was trying to keep my emotions down.
Also y'day and today, i have woken from bed in a pretty sweaty state (which is kind of annoying since I washed my hair last night and it's now standing on end!). I suspect this is my raised temperature!
I am really hoping this is a start of a snowball effect for our wee thread.
