hello,
can i join please?
im currently in my 2ww, im 3dpo

TTC#2,30 i have no idea of cycle, been TTC since april, lost baby boy in january :(

Sarahg1 · 28/07/2014 11:22

Well my AF was due later this week but my crazy short cycles are getting even shorter and it started this morning. which means I should get another shot at the August bus in about 3 weeks time. Plus I will be on hols when I ov so fingers crossed!

Feeling really mixed up today - on sat someone I hate had a miscarriage, we didn't even know she was preg. Only found out this morning she actually lost it so spent all of yesterday devastated that she was preg and I am struggling as she is someone I have to see a lot but now feel terrible about thinking that. I would never wish that on anyone no matter how much I hate them.

ttc is such an emotional roller coaster!!

good luck to all you other ladies!!

Seraphina5291 · 28/07/2014 11:22

Thanks for all the welcomes ladies. I think I ovulated on Friday so on the 2ww now.

Fingers crossed its implantation bleeding HopefulMUm111!

jdear · 28/07/2014 11:31

Hello ladies can I hop on? I was on the june bus but unfortunately had a cp after some faint bfps. Didnt join the july bus as I was trying to relax but have been lurking! Had a bit of a weird cycle last month, a couple of days shorter than usual and agonisingly sore boobs so was convinced i was pg but my hormones must have been all over the place following cp.

Was very low in mood last month, I do have issues with anxiety so finding ttc very hard but I'm feeling a little more positive the last few days and trying to remind myself we did actually conceive, which had always been my main worry (that we wouldnt!). DH is being an absolute gem. He doesnt always know the right thing to say bless him but he tries.

So here we are now, cd10 and seeing how things go!

Stats are:

Jdear (27) ttc#1, cycle 4 (cp cycle 2)

Aurenna · 28/07/2014 12:40

Hi ladies. :)

I'm on CD10 now and finding myself most bemused about figuring out when ovulation is going to happen. I have an irregular cycle (fluctuating between 22 days at the shortest and 63 at the longest...) which is driving me nuts.

I'm trying to track ovulation using dip strips and by recording my BBT first thing, but it's all just confusing. I'm not sure I will ever get my head around it!

lp2014 · 28/07/2014 13:15

Hi girls, need to catch up soon. Today is cd 20 for me. I usually have 26 day cycles but last month ya randomly 31 days so not a clue when i should poas! DH just wants to wait til period is really really late then we'll know but i am not sure i can do that. He doesn't like testing xx

Sunshinesaz86 · 28/07/2014 13:23

Hi ladies, sorry to all that are in limbo with their cycles, must be so confusing for u to know when the best time to DTD is?! Baby dust to u all!

I am on cycle day 10 DTD 6,8 & 9 (too early I know) so far going to just keep doing it as much as possible this month at least EOD if possible, bought some really cheap OPK's this month too so hopefully they will help but expecting to ov around day 14/16 as first cycle off pill was 30 days so fingers crossed it is similar again!

CockBollocks · 28/07/2014 13:56

tooth I'm due AF on the first so should be able to test. Will only be 10 days post ov I think.

So we will see.

I have been incredibly lucky when falling with my first to so i'm stressing myself out thinking i can't possibly be that lucky again.

TheGrandHighWitch · 28/07/2014 14:18

Welcome to new passengers, hope your journeys aren't too long. Smile

I've changed my fertility friend so it tracks ovulation by my monitor/opks rather than it's preferred 'advanced' method. If it goes by temps as well then it doesn't seem to have a clue whats going on. By monitor/opk results then it puts me at 9dpo today (did test with an IC and BFN) but with just a vertical red line rather than the crosshairs. I think the problem with my temps are either a slow rise in progesterone after ovulation. Or possibly high levels of estrogen after ovulation have caused my temp to go up slowly as my saliva microscope showed the ferning pattern for two days after my positive opk/peak reading on monitor. I should be due af/BFP on 2nd August or thereabouts. I ordered a twin pack of FRER's off ebay for £6.99 yesterday so they should arrive in time for me to test Thursday/Friday.

cinnamongreyhound · 28/07/2014 14:48

Love your planning Aprilray!

Hope you get an answer soon Hopefulmum111!

Hi pickle84, I guess if you've be been ttc since April it's cycle 4 or 5. So sorry for your loss :(

Hi jdear!

I bought one today TheGrandhighWitch! The one I bought last month from eBay was here the next day.

jdear · 28/07/2014 15:08

Thanks for the welcome! Has any of your DHs had any side effects from the wellman conception tablets? DH started taking them about a week ago and hes been complaining of a funny tummy since then.

He did take them for cycle 2 and I seem to remember he complained of the same thing but I'm sure it ended up settling. Forgot to buy more for cycle 3 so started again.

fattycow · 28/07/2014 15:18

Did I do my stats for August yet?

Natalie1989xo · 28/07/2014 16:31

AF has arrived early :(

Still though, my bus ticket is still valid for one more try!

New stats

Ugh ladies I'm confused.
My bbt is showing an annovulatory cycle (on cd20) but I have so many pregnancy symptoms.
I'm thinking I must be coming down with something.
It is worrying though because if I am pregnant I shouldn't take my thrush treatment :/ but I can't be if my bbt hasn't risen can i?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 28/07/2014 17:33

If your bbt hasnt risen it's doubtful Treacle, sorry to tell you that. Hope the thrush treatment sorts you out.

8dpo and nothing to report. Won't test until Saturday unless the witch arrives.

ChandlersFarang · 28/07/2014 17:46

Sorry Treacle I don't know much about temps!

Jdear & pickle, so sorry to hear about your losses. Good luck now you're back on the bus! Smile

Aurenna have you looked into what's behind your mad cycles..? Have you recently come off the pill?

So the DTD marathon weekend just came to a climax (pahahaha) in the Chandlers household... I think I ovulated yesterday so I could be 1DPO now. DTD the day before, yesterday and today (with fertility lube, orgasms & lots of upside down cycling thrown in for good measure!) so am pretty confident we've done all we can. Time to bed in for the usual wait now, I guess!! ConfusedGrin

Am clearly going to have the usual TWW recurring pregnancy dream - I predict this month's episodes will be all about having triplets here in Thailand and a snake eating them, or something. Lolz. They have found so many snakes around my house lately it's untrue. My next door neighbour had one fall out of a tree right in front of her last week and thump down onto the path... Had she been a meter further forward, it would have landed on her head!! ShockShockShockShock

Treaclepie19 · 28/07/2014 17:48

Don't worry English, I know I'm being irrational. Also it's a good thing in a way with taking this tablet.

Hi angelaham :)

Depressing chart attached.

Toot Toot! It's the August bus - here to bring us all our hot, hot, hot summer BFPs!
angelaham · 28/07/2014 19:49

sorry my stats are
angelaham 34, TTC 1 cycle 3 BFP 25 th August

fattycow · 28/07/2014 20:59

I cannot remember if I did my stats, so I'll do them again.
Fattycow, 26, ttc #1, cycle 8, BFP 24th/25th August.

Also, I have these pregnancy vitamins that you should take with your breakfast. Only I don't do breakfast, because I throw up if I do. So what do you lot think? Just take them at some point during the day or force myself in the morning?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 28/07/2014 21:08

My annovulatory cycle was a long one Treacle - 42 days. Think generally they tend to be longer than normal. But I don't think there's a definitive answer I'm afraid. Fx its not too long for you hun.

Treaclepie19 · 28/07/2014 21:17

Thanks English, that's what I thought.
UGH!
