Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 20:21

It's been a bit of both kitty could go either way.
I keep telling myself last time I was sure af was coming and I was pregnant.
I'm not good at waiting!!!

Incredibly bloated again and my boobs hurt.

I think I need to leave this bus til af/bfp so you don't have to listen to me moan!!! :p

Don't you dare leave Grin moan away! It helps to read about what symptoms we are all getting and also very therapeutic, like keeping/reading a diary. We are all here for each other and don't you forget it!!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 20:33

:) okayyy if you insist I will stay :p

Currently thinking "11dpo... eek no af yet, my luteal phase is never longer than 10dpo" mixed with "oh no what if this is still from the miscarriage messing up my cycles".

Round and round we go!

Aww English - what a nice friend you have. Glad you had a nice day. Sometimes, you good rant to someone in RL makes all the difference.

I was talking to someone in my staff room today, who is due in December and she said thanks to me. Apparently, back in Feb when I was raving about OPKs down the Pub (we were talking about TTC, honest!) and she had been trying for 7 months with no luck. Decided to try OPKs in March and bam! Pregnant Grin

Aaaaaagh!!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/07/2014 20:38

Did you definitely ovulate Treacle? You're temping aren't you? Sounds promising! Even if its not a bfp, your luteal phase has improved so although that might not be the news you want, its is still good news. Obviously we all hope its a bfp!!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/07/2014 20:39

See Kitty, your wise words are creating bfps all round! Although I'm sure you're turn should def be next!!!

spinningirl10 · 08/07/2014 20:41

Kitty, sounds like implantation bleeding!

English, I've always wanted to paint some furniture, when you see what people pay for shabby chic! Go for itGrin

Treacle, don't leave! We're all here rooting for you to your bfp!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 20:42

Definitely your turn next kitty!

English yeah I do temp. Had a few odd temps at 2 and 3dpo where they were low but the general chart shows a temp shift so I'm pretty sure I ovulated. Those two days I think I was falling asleep with the thermometer in and it was falling out.
Yeah you're right :) let's see what tomorrow brings! Is it bedtime yet? :p

Nah! I think I'll be here forever. I'll be the Miss Havisham of the TTC buses Grin

spinningirl10 · 08/07/2014 20:47

Broody, wasn't there a baby boom 9 months after England won the World Cup in 1966, maybe if his team win tonight you'll be lucky!

broodylicious · 08/07/2014 20:52

Haha spinning you could be right there!! Will have to name baby Rio or something if I conceive tonight WinkGrin

sparkle17 · 08/07/2014 21:00

Evening ladies

Kitty you really do have a wealth of knowledge. You will be a loss to the buses when you get your bfp..hopefully in a few days time!

broody the world cup has got in the away of our dtd plans at times, especially when the 9pm games were going to extra time. I must confess we have dtd with the football on mute in the background. Every guys dream huh?!

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 21:07

You say the nicest things sparkle Smile

cinnamongreyhound · 08/07/2014 21:11

That's what we're all here for Treaclepie19! We're all the same though aren't we? Symptom spotting, trying not to get too excited but trying not to be too negative either.

You won't be here forever and it sounds very promising this month KittyVonCatsington!

TheDetective · 08/07/2014 21:15

Hmmm, it seems TTC has taken over my life! I've been reading the thread while busy working, hoping for the next BFP to come along!

Kitty I'm not an expert on all things fertility, but it does sound like implantation.

Treacle stay positive!

I'm not sure where I'm at with my days etc. I had a really odd period last month, I know the reasons why, won't go in to them! But basically I can't be 100% certain on my LMP date as I started bleeding mid last cycle, which wasn't a period until almost around when my period was due. I've put 26th June as my LMP as I think this was most accurate. Which puts me at CD 12 today.

Lots of DTD since CD 8. Probably TMI but I think I'm all shagged out! I'm burning the candle at every end! We can only DTD late at night as the 12 year old is about til 9, and have to wait for him to be asleep Hmm. I'm up at 5.45 for work. And somehow we've turned DTD in to 3 hour long stints. FFS! I'm EXHAUSTED!

Decided to get some ovulation sticks today, just because of last months period. I don't want to miss out if I ovulate late. I did one, but no line other than the control line.

Last time we TTC it took 3 cycles. First cycle we started on day 14, as that's when we made the decision to TTC, 2nd cycle we had a row mid cycle, and I was on night shifts, so we weren't getting to DTD much. 3rd cycle we DTD from CD9 to CD15. I'm fairly certain we conceived on CD 12. I got my BFP 10 days after that on CD22. I was having 26 day periods at that point.

Currently they seem fairly regular at 28ish days, so am assuming ovulation will be in the next day or so. Fingers crossed. :) I'm on day shifts at least this week, the only week out of 6, so lucky enough it's the week we need to be DTD! Happy coincidence!

Oh it's so excited! Yet so fecking all consuming isn't it Hmm. I wasn't even sure if this was the right time, yet now it's all I can think about Grin. Stupid brain!

TheDetective · 08/07/2014 21:19

Erm, totally oversharing here! But has anyone elses DH/DP found it hard to DTD every day?! Well, not DTD so much, but it seems he ran out of the swimmers Blush. We've been DTD 3 times in a row hence the 3 hour marathons for a few days now (through choice I add, not through TTC!). And yesterday he orgasmed twice, but didn't produce anything! We had to try a 3rd time until anything arrived!

Was most strange!

I'm afraid I've broken him!

Help!

Will shag less I suppose!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 21:20

Just had a horrible thought when looking at my chart :(
Instead of having 2 low temps after ovulation, i may have had one odd high temp that got mistaken for ovulation. Therefore I have ovulated about 3 days later.
I am choosing to believe this hasn't happened though because fertility friend said I ovulated when I thought.

Why do I do this to myself??

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 21:21

Gosh detective! Sounds like you've been busy!
Maybe try dtd every other day?

Fingers crossed for you :)

OP posts:
KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 21:25

It is tiring isn't it?! I sometimes get really jealous if someone gets a BFP and they only DTD one or two times!! Hang in there and
keep your eye on the prize-that's how I do it!

TheDetective · 08/07/2014 21:34

I can definitely say I'm enjoying ttc anyway ;)

I'm hesitant to do it every other day incase I miss ovulation as its a 12-24 hour window :(

Oh! Another question! If you DTD after midnight which CD do you class it as!

spinningirl10 · 08/07/2014 21:39

Wow detective, you have been busy, fx it results in a bfp!

Treacle, step away from the charts!! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 21:40

And yes, that has happened to us Detective! When I got my second surge, this cycle, we had already DTD every day for about 5 days. DH's orgasm, so to speak, was a little bit sparce. Am hoping it was enough though!

kurama · 08/07/2014 21:44

Ive kinda lost all hope today. still feeling really sick to the point coughing makes me gag, my back hurts and ive had really bad pains at work, kinda like 1st day af pains mixed in with the pain and pressure ive had with ruptured cysts just no were near as agonizing as last time the only thing ive eaten today are 2 bowls of dry frosties, 2 ginger biscuits and lots of tea and water, its all i can think of eating/drinking without feeling sick. cd24/poss 6dpo... is it wrong i really hate my body right now? Sad

hope everyone else is having a better day
