Why is it always the day you think you ovulating that you're ill and arguing with DH???
Must power through...

MaMaPo · 11/10/2014 00:20

Hmm, feel a bit nauseous this morning. SYMPTOM! Grin

TerrysNo2 · 11/10/2014 00:25

hi so! sparkle and detective big congrats on the BFPs!! Grin Grin Grin The more the merrier!!

Cariad I found out about my ectopic before it ruptured but I had a laparoscopy and had my left tube removed. The doctor told me to wait until after my first AF to try again so we started TTC in September. This is cycle 2. I feel totally at a loss about it all because even if we DTD as much as possible, I could still release an egg from my left ovary and have no chance Sad But like everyone else, it says waiting game!

CD17 today and I think I ov yesterday but still waiting for a temp rise.

Dozygirl · 11/10/2014 03:04

want ur opks look like the ones I have and the instructions on those say to wait 30 mins for a definite negative or positive so it's perfectly ok to go back to it and see it stronger. Fingers crossed it's a sign of pregnancy for u tho. Have fun DTD anyway just in case :) im gonna yey carrying on dtd after ovulation this time if I can coz I always stop straight after

Dozygirl · 11/10/2014 03:06

Crack EPO experts, what exactly does taking it do?? I've started taking it now and I'm so juicy down there already (tmi alert!) after just a few days. Only taking 1000mg. Is it to increase cm coz if it is it's certainly working lol. I'm very rarely dry anyway so maybe I don't need EPO after all. It might turn into a river once I start dtd again!!

ChandlersFarang · 11/10/2014 05:18

Dozy it is indeed for increasing CM!! Sounds like it might be one that you can forego?! Smile What you doing up at 3am anyway?!

Spinning I would LOVE a glass of prosecco, thanks! Wine Just struggled so hard to wake up, officially managed to sit up at 10:55 which is an achievement (still 04:55 in my head... This direction's jetslag is such a bitch!!).

Mzzzf - dildocam?! PCOS??? Whaaaa? Why? I was under the impression you were having regular AFs etc? Have you got any other symptoms..? Hope you're OK! X x

spinningirl10 · 11/10/2014 13:56

Woohoo we're backGrin

Anyone with anything exciting to report!

Another positive opk for me today... And what looked like an evap on an hpt... I can't keep away from the damn sticks!! Pretty sure it was an evap, lots of squinting involved. Dtd last night just in case late ov but I do not have EWCM or any other ov symptoms...

spinningirl10 · 11/10/2014 14:14

Wanttobe, I think once start poas it's hard to stop, hope you get a bfp soon.

13 dpo here and a super thin line on the this mornings cb but I'm not convinced . Last cycle I got a clear thick line and then bleeding next . Not a drop so far and af due tomorrow latest really . Besides the constant nausea , achy boobs, cm, lower back pain and cramping for the last week etc now also go to toilet once an hour . This very annoying . Could have done without that unclear line it makes me wonder and I always have my hopes crushed in the end :(

Nordicmom · 11/10/2014 14:29

Got my fingers crossed for u wanttobe

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 11/10/2014 14:32

nordic this all sounds positive to me, fx, perhaps do another tomorrow with fmu? Sounds better than my line in any case! It was so faint it was nearly non existent Hmm but I did one earlier on than that and also had the faintest of faint lines also looked like an evap as it was nearly white. The second one I referred to above was more visible but still barely there I am sure was an evap... Sounds like yours could be a bfp though let's hope so!!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 11/10/2014 14:36

Here is what I am sure is my evap from this morning...

spinningirl10 · 11/10/2014 14:40

Nordic, fx for you that it is a bfp.

Wanttobe, if you've done 2 tests with faint lines it sounds like a bfp to me, fx for a darker line soon.

Cariad2014 · 11/10/2014 14:41

Terrys - from what I understand, (based on the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust's website) our bodies are quite clever. The Fallopian tubes aren't actually connected to our ovaries but instead the Fallopian tubes are lined with receptor cells that draw the egg towards the tube following ovulation. What this means in practice is that when one of your Fallopian tubes is removed, assuming the ovary on that side is un-damaged, it is still possible for an egg from your left ovary to go down your right Fallopian tube and vice versa. They reckon on a conservative estimate that this happens 15-20% of the time, which means that rather than having your chances of conceiving each month halved following a tube removal, your chance is more like 65-70% of what it would have been previously.

That having been said, one thing I'm tempted to ask my acupuncturist when we start ttc again is whether she can try and stimulate ovulation on the side of my remaining tube - I have no idea whether this is possible, but as some people tend to ovulate far more frequently from one side as opposed to the other, I'm keen to maximise my chances of conception.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 11/10/2014 14:41

See the above pic - it really is so ridiculously faint!! Will keep testing have my fx but they are IC and don't want to use a FRER yet... Hoping the witch stays away but trying not to get hopes up as only cycle 1

Thanks for he positive vibes spinning and nordic :)

Nordicmom · 11/10/2014 14:43

Wanttobe , I'm just waiting for the inevitable really. This is our no3 but I have a long history of unexplained mc and cp and dc2 was born through a surrogate so I don't have much hope for this ever working out without Ivf at least . This is why I'm so negative , I've been at this for years now . I can't really see much on your picture but hopefully you'll get a clear line soon !

Cariad2014 · 11/10/2014 14:50

Keeping everything crossed for you Nordic and Wanttobe. Here's to happy, healthy sticky beans.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 11/10/2014 14:51

Sorry to hear that nordic it may not be likely but you never know you do hear of people that get pregnant naturally even when doctors do not think it would happen :) fx for you

gennibugs · 11/10/2014 14:53

Fx nordic and want. Really hope this is your time!!!!

I am struggling with temping - any temping experts out there who are willing to help?

Katybear123 · 11/10/2014 14:56

Hi everybody missed u all. How's everyone weekend? Cd15 here anda high on cbfm, yippee 2 cd later than last month. Uncomfortable ab cramps growing in intensity to since cd13 so I think it's right. Interesting to see is peak remains cd17 and 18 or if it moves....

So far dtd cd10, 12 and planning today.

spinningirl10 · 11/10/2014 15:32

Genni, I think English temps but if not maybe message kitty. She's on the due in May bus and she's the queen of temping Grin

So glad we're back!
Got my solid smiley :) and temp rose which makes this (so far) the most predictable cycle ive had. Let's hope my temp behaves. The line on the opk (that you're not meant to look at) is so dark. Much darker than the control :)

What's the problem genni? I temp :)

toothachereturns · 11/10/2014 15:50

BFN on tesco own brand this morning. 10dpo. Not surprising really as we weren't trying with earnest.
Back on it like car bonnet next month. Lucky DH. He's a horny bugger! Grin Grin Grin Grin
Good luck y'all. Smile Smile
