Hello,

Was just wondering whether anybody has had a similar experience?

When trying for first child got pregnant the first month, however that ended in MC. Luckily I got pregnant again with DD after first month of trying again.

DD is now three, we would have started TTC sooner but I went back I Uni and I'm due to finish in November.

We have been trying for 5 months and no luck, worried that I've left it too late as I'm now 37.

Sad

Hi ladies, just back from my travels and will have a proper read back later, but just wanted to say bobsy I'm afraid that definitely looks like you haven't ov'd yet, the rise post-ov should be at least 0.2 degrees higher than the previous six days I think.

BobsyBoo · 13/11/2014 16:54

No prob lovemyboy I wish I hadn't now.

Metal Hope you had a good trip? I don't know how accurate the temps are as the one's in a straight line were taken with my old thermometer. The one's with the white dots are the one's that my App doesn't think are correct but surely they can't be that far out. I'm thinking the same that I haven't ov'd, I think my body geared up to do, hence why I got a +opk, but then didn't do. I don't think I'll ovulate now as my boobs are sore and I'm feeling AF is on her way because of my mood today (angry and upset that it's not happened again). There is only me that could take the Soy and not ovulate at all when it is supposed to help bring on ovulation!

At least there is no 2ww, but I think it's time for a trip to the docs now, I wanted to give it a go with the Soy first and then make an appointment after trying it if I needed to.

lovemyboy247 · 13/11/2014 18:24

So today I am having tingly heavy boobs and my brain is wirking overtime. At only 4dpo I think I can say its just my possitive imagination.
Bobsy- keep smiling I know its easier said than done. X

crispiecrunchie · 13/11/2014 20:14

Can I join you in the 2ww lovemy?? I reckon I ovulared between Sunday and Tuesday! The opk's were random this month. Convincing myself those extra positives are a good sign. And is having no symptoms a symptom?

Treesandbees · 13/11/2014 20:40

Evening everyone!

Ive been maintaining a low profile this week as in the early part of my cycle (cd7). Been taking the magic soy, last night tonight. I have to say it has been making me feel pretty horrid. Really hormonal and lots of headaches Sad so it better be doing some good!! Interestingly I have had a 'proper' period like the good old days so maybe my body did a reset. Having my day 21 bloods repeated and still waiting for my ultrasound. Saw my kidney consultant today so just waiting for the blood results. Always dread this appointment but more because they weigh you...still bloody over weight since DS! Why is it so hard to loose the last bit?!

Bobsy sorry you are having a weird cycle. That is exactly what I had last month so maybe it is pre pregnancy reset (although is massively f*cked with my head!!).
Alien have you poas again?
Little ha ha to the teenage sofa bed shagging! Legs in the air post shag should help lessen any spillages (and help sperms on their way).

BobsyBoo · 13/11/2014 21:57

Trees sorry you're having a bad time with the soy, I felt really hormonal when my last AF started & the weekend before last I felt really depressed, but then I started to feel really positive that this would be the cycle that I get pregnant right up till this ov problem. Good that you've had a proper period. I know what you mean I've never list my weight after having DD, it's so difficult to lose it I enjoy my food too much.

Well I'm having a re-think about my situation because I woke up in the middle of the night really hot & a bit sweaty (sorry if tmi) I actually thought I'd forgotten to switch off my electric blanket but I hadn't. When I took my temp this morning I took it after I'd been dozing & not after a solid few hours sleep so now I'm wondering if I'm taking it at the right time. Hmm

BobsyBoo · 13/11/2014 22:00

Negative OPK again, I'll be testing till AF arrives, it's a good job I've got a bag full of them!

alien11 · 13/11/2014 22:45

Yup poas this morning= bfn. Now getting signsAF is on it's way

lovemyboy247 · 13/11/2014 22:50

Crispie- I ov,d sun mon. So we are pretty much same timings. Hoe long are your cycled mormally?
trees- dont stress about weight thing. I wss overweight before 1st baby and if im sucessful again ill be even more overweight as im a stone heavier than
before last baby.
Bobsy- I hope you dont run out of wee....lol

BobsyBoo · 13/11/2014 23:19

Lovemyboy and Crispie Wish I could join you for the 2ww, if I did ov it would have probably been Tuesday. I've been having AF symptoms since yesterday so ov or no ov I'm out. I'm still going to try the Soy next cycle.

Lol I could never run out of wee I go to the loo that much.

crispiecrunchie · 14/11/2014 07:44

My cycles are usually 29-32 days. Considering an extra dtd today for luck. Read somewhere the semen can help implantation do the sperm meets egg plan recommends sex once after ovulation. Probably nonsense but can't help.

Bobsy..... I really hope you have a surprise positive. I am new to the thread but have read it all and you are totally due a break and a bfp.

lovesmycake · 14/11/2014 08:01

bobsy sorry your cycle has been so messed up this month it really messed with my head when my cycles went weird the last months. Like it was one more thing I couldn't control as if everything else wasn't enough but yes maybe a pre-pregnancy reset? Have you got a Dr's appt?

crispie no symptoms is definitely a symptom :)

trees boo to the soy side effects it will be worth it if it works though, and alien sorry about the BFN.

I got my peak today on my monitor and we DTD last night which is good right? Spoke to DH about secret DTD at my parents house and he is up for the challenge Grin.

DS has started calling his bear his baby and last night was wandering around saying 'nei baby' over and over again. I couldn't cope with it to be honest, a little baby is always at the nursery when we go to pick him up and I guess he has become a bit fixated on it. Its very hard and I'm trying not to let it get me down, I don't want to go back to how I was feeling last month and the month before, I've tried really hard to be in more positive place but sometimes it feels like I'm just pretending to be happy or like the slightest thing will set my mind into that obsessive 'it won't happen for me' cycle again. I know there is no fix, it helps to write it down though :(

HazleNutt · 14/11/2014 08:35

loves that's definitely perfect timing, another round tonight would not hurt either.

BobsyBoo · 14/11/2014 09:21

Crispie that's interesting as I did wonder why on the SMEP that you DTD after ovulation but I've not heard before of semen helping with implantation, my OH has very low sex drive so getting him to DTD when & just before ov is difficult enough but next cycle I will try to get him to DTD after ov.

Thanks I hope so too. I think I'm one of the longest trying on this thread & one of the eldest too & now DD will be at least 5 before she has a sibling (that's if it ever happens). It's funny because before ov I had a 'feeling' I was going to get pg this cycle & felt so positive but since DPO1 I've had sore boobs & now I have the 'feeling' I'm not pg. I had a nice temp spike this morning though so hopefully I did ov.

loves no not made the appointment yet, I know I need too. Glad DH has agreed to the challenge of DTD at your parents house. That sounds hard for you, I know I found it hard a few weeks ago when DD was going on about wanting a brother and a sister! Luckily she's not mentioned anything for a while. I know exactly how you feel I wish I could go back to feeling positive like I was last week, I feel so down now & keep thinking if its not happened after 22 cycles why would it happen now. I know I need to find out what's wrong with me but I'm not sure if my docs will help & if they'll make me feel foolish for wanting more tests when as far as their concerned its down to my age. It helps me to right it all down too.

BobsyBoo · 14/11/2014 09:24

*write.

Metalhead · 14/11/2014 09:27

Hi ladies, first of all welcome to all the newbies!

My work trip was quite nice, thanks bobsy. Got to drink some free champagne which is always nice! Sorry your body is messing you around this cycle, I know only too well how annoying that is. Have you made an appointment at the doctors? Are you going to try and see a different one this time?

loves my DD went through a phase a few months ago of constantly saying things like "when I'm a big sister..." or "When we've got a baby..." and it is so, so hard. One day I snapped and told her that there won't be a baby, which reduced her to tears, but I just couldn't take it anymore! (Of course I felt even worse afterwards...) Thankfully she doesn't mention it as often anymore, but it still hurst every time.

Well the soy didn't work its magic for me, BFN today at 12dpo. I only tested as my temp was still up this morning, but I think that's down to me being ill. So, hopefully off to see the Asherman's specialist in London next week and find out what's what.

lovemyboy247 · 14/11/2014 09:53

Bobsy- are you def dyre its not implantation signs its not over till af arrives.
Crispy- Like Bobsy I had never heard of thesperm after ovulation thing either. Prob too late at 5dpo now but wil

lovemyboy247 · 14/11/2014 09:56

Will remembervthat for future ref.
Metal-Srry soy didnt work for you this time. Can I ask what the Ashermans is?

HazleNutt · 14/11/2014 09:58

12dpo is still very early.

Metalhead · 14/11/2014 13:05

lovemyboy Asherman's is scarring or adhesions in the uterus, but you shouldn't have to worry about that unless you've had previous pelvic surgery.

crispiecrunchie · 14/11/2014 13:12

I have no idea if there us any truth in it. Can't find anything solid online so might be better just to focus on sex before ovulation. Someone was asking about the. Sperm meets Egg plan in another thread and it was mentioned. Can't find the link now!

Bobsy you have my sympathy. My previous partner had to be persuaded initially dtd and it was bout five times a year. Soul destroying as it gets difficult ttc even with a good sex drive. It all feels a bitmechanical and can't stop thinking this might be the time. Also understand age worries as I am 41 (very nearly 42). Xxx

BobsyBoo · 14/11/2014 13:19

Metal Glad you enjoyed your work trip and champagne even better. No I haven't yet, but I will see another doctor within the surgery. I'm going to try and make an appointment for next Friday, I'm just worried about what doc I will get and if they'll help me or make me feel stupid asking for help when it's clearly age. 12 dpo is very early to test so you never know.

Good luck when you go to see the Asherman's specialist.

lovemyboy I feel like this every month on the day after ov and I haven't got pg for the past 21 cycles so can only mean AF Sad I decided last cycle that if I got sore boobs day after ov on this cycle then no 2ww for me.

BobsyBoo · 14/11/2014 13:22

We're having people round for a get together tomorrow night so I'm going to get the mulled wine open! Wine

lovemyboy247 · 14/11/2014 16:04

Metal- that sounds awful for you I hope it goes ok.
Bobsy- feel for you hun. Mulled wine sounds yummy. X

HazleNutt · 14/11/2014 16:24

We have friends over tomorrows well , and another set next weekend. I don't want to tell yet, I'm quite a private person and would hate to un-tell if it does not work out. But I normally drink like a fish, so not sure I will manage to fool them.
