It's been a while since I had thrush, thankfully, but I remember feeling significantly better within 48hrs and then maybe another couple of days totally better, I think treaclepie. I thoroughly recommend drinking aptimil to help too, it made a huge difference to me!

KittyVonCatsington · 25/07/2014 08:44

Oh Hetty
That is a very easy chart for me to read! Your temps are not all over the place so don't worry!
Your last two temps are considerably higher and I am certain your next temp tomorrow will be equally as high and FF will give you cross hairs and a coverline saying that you ovulated on CD 16 as your CM is still a good sign-even if you got a negative OPK. The crosshairs may be dotted for this reason, but doesn't mean you didn't ovulate then. Well done for temping as you have seen first hand how OPKs don't work for everyone, every cycle but temping will give you a bloody good picture of what is going on! Grin

Ooops, forgot the penis Dragon luck

Treaclepie19 · 25/07/2014 08:51

Thanks cinnamon, I'm a bit stuck really. Felt better yesterday but worse again today. Can't do much about it though.

cinnamongreyhound · 25/07/2014 08:57

If it's worse again today I'd suggest that you need a second dose! :( Have you treated dh too? Try the probiotics and, if you can, reduce processed sugars, white bread etc as that is supposed to be a big trigger.

Treaclepie19 · 25/07/2014 08:58

I'll have to go to the chemist and see what they suggest as I won't be able to get into the doctors now.
I've told DH he needs to use the cream, he hasn't yet. We haven't been dtd though.

Phone won't let me check but wahoo for 3 eggs chandlers!Grin Fx
Sorry the thrush isn't getting better yet Hmm haven't had it so can't comment. Welcome to any newbies, hope your journey is short and sweet. Wink

I'm in so much pain this morn and so tired, but I was awake between 3-6 because of it. Not sure if I wanna risk taking painkillers tho HmmHmm
Hope everyone's looking forward to the weekend. Smile Dragon

ChandlersFarang · 25/07/2014 12:39

Treacle & Kurama I'm sorry you're both suffering!! Hmm Hope you have nice relaxing weekends ahead at least.

English, I'm sorry I missed your post about being a long-timer! You will absolutely get your BFP (zwanger!) again for keeps. It's all a matter of time. Grin

We all really have to ensure our journeys are smooth in this game, or we risk not making it to our destination! So everyone please do something to help you unwind, and be happy this weekend. Read rational things, clear your head and find pursuits that chill you out... avoid anything (including negative thoughts!) that have the opposite effect. When I think how far I've come, and all with support on this board, it makes me smile!! I was in a right old sulk last month about 'being infertile'. Now all of a sudden I'm more fertile than I've ever been! My chances may still be lower than you guys each cycle, but for MY standards they are infinitely better than when I started out. Smile I bloody love science... If I was born in a different decade this wouldn't be possible. It is an amazing mess English! Lol GrinGrinGrinGrin

God sorry about that - what a ramble! Ha ha x x xx

Siarie · 25/07/2014 12:40

Hi Ladies, look like I'm on this bus as possible chemical today (or really really early AF).

Stats: Siarie, 26, TTC Number 1, cycle 2

Siarie · 25/07/2014 12:43

Oh and worse thing is because I don't know which it is I have to use pads, which I hate using and don't want to leave the house with them. They just don't work for me, I must be a weird shape or something Angry.

lucieloos · 25/07/2014 12:56

Just popping in to say hi from the July bus. AF is due tomorrow, temps have plummeted and having cramps so I expect to be joining you very soon!

cinnamongreyhound · 25/07/2014 17:11

I'm still hanging on the July bus as af is due 30th if I go by 14 dpo rather than my usual cycle which would be 1st aug so I'm trying not to post the same things on both for those that are on both! Trying not to go mad waiting to poas and failing terribly today! Can't remember if I posted here but had cramps weds eve and thurs morn so was wondering if that was implantation but trying not to be too optimistic!

Hi Sairie and lucieloos!

gennibugs · 25/07/2014 17:18

Hi All.

Lots of familiar faces here. Hello to the old timers and the newbies. I've come to officially join as AF got me today. Going to keep a low profile this month but will be lurking. Stats are as follows:

gennibugs, age 33, ttc#1, cycle 9, bfp due 23 August.

BananaToast · 25/07/2014 17:28

Hi

First timer here, just started TTC last week. I came off the pill a few months ago but cycles are not quite settled into a pattern yet so trying to get to know what's normal for me. So far they have been 34 32 30 days and I think I ovulated around 11-12 days before AF started although not 100% sure. Trying not to get too overexcited about trying as it will probably take a while but everyone I know seems to get pregnant with the first month or two so that's putting false hope into me!

BananaToast, age 26, ttc#1, cycle 1, bfp due around 13 August

fattycow · 25/07/2014 17:29

Seems like I need a new ride as well...

HettyB · 25/07/2014 17:35

Hi siarie, lucie genni and banana! Sorry you're here but welcome to the bus!

Thanks so much kitty for the reassurance - it's my first time temping so I don't know what I'm looking for - every other chart I look at looks much neater than mine to me! Fingers crossed tomorrow's temp will be a high one.

In other news, my boobs are killing me! But nothing unusual there...

cinnamongreyhound · 25/07/2014 17:47

Hi gennibugs, fattycow and bananatoast and hope this is a lucky bus for you :)

BananaToast · 25/07/2014 18:24

Thanks, I can't even imagine it happening this month but I guess you never know. Good luck to you too!

Hi newbies! Hope your journey is short and sweet.
The last couple of days i've felt very snappy. Not hormonal, I think just working in the heat is getting to me. Not that i'm complaining, I love this weather but doing waxing, pedicures and massage when its nearly 30degrees is bloody hard work.
Got a fun packed weekend in Brighton for my best friends 30th, will enjoy it as if i'm not in the tww, what will be will be. Pass me the gin! Think I deserve a wild night!

Kyz · 25/07/2014 22:22

Hi all, room for another?

Officially TTC as of today, had my implant removed today so we're going to be shagging plenty and seeing what happens! My periods were all over the place with the implant in so i've no idea how long my cycle should be or anything else. I'm going to keep a track of it though, and start as I mean to go on I guess!

so my stats are... Kyzordz, Age 25, TTC#2, Cycle 1

kurama · 25/07/2014 22:23
