failure thank you. I think DH was unhappy that DTD wasn't successful this morning and it was playing on his mind. I think he felt he had let me down, I tried to assure him he hadn't.
This TTC stuff does you're head in and we're only in cycle 1!

hairStylistToBoris · 13/01/2015 10:24

I need a slap. A big slap. Because my cycles are all over the place this month (I'm on CD 15 but am possibly 9dpo?) I have continued to use OPKs just to see. After having had completely blank tests other than the control line for a few days yesterday's test had a faint but definite second test line on the OPK. I wondered if it could be picking up pregnancy hormones so this AM I tested with an opk AND a pregnancy test. Both negative no matter how I twist them hold them up to the ought, squint etc. damn. Bfns ars heartbreaking regardless of how ridiculous it was testing with them. Slap me now please

DizzyNorthernBird · 13/01/2015 10:27

Hair why do you think you're 9dpo? Do you have very short cycles? Sorry just being nosey! Smile

MelonMelon · 13/01/2015 10:30

hair my tests have been exactly the same! I did a hcg yesterday for no reason it seems other than to be a lunatic. Ouch ouch slaps all round

Am I 6dpo? Who knows!

Hairstylisttoboris · 13/01/2015 10:33

dizzy my cycles are normally military in their precision. Bleed for three days, ovulate on day 10, cycle lasts for 24 days. But this month I got a small amount of EWCM on day 5 and a positive opk on day 6, then my cm went back to infertile. The positive ppl line only lasted a few hours, an earlier test the same day had a faint second line as did the following day. My LH surges often are short though, I test a few times a day to confirm as if I snooze I loose it. Fortunately for us we dtd on day 5 and 6 so we may have caught the egg...

This month has messed with my head.

Hairstylisttoboris · 13/01/2015 10:35

melon hurrah for the lunatic fringe. It's like peeing on money, such a waste :)

GlitteryLipgloss · 13/01/2015 10:51

Gah. Sore nips. Still white milky CM/discharge (sorry if tmi) slight cramps.

This is bullshit! ?? body just do what you are supposed to!

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2015 10:53

Boris, step away from the hpt'sGrin

Has anyone had Accupuncture? I have my first session tomorrow and I'm wondering what to wearGrin where will she need to access?

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2015 10:54

Glittery, where are you in your cycle? Creamy cm can be a good sign in the 2wwGrin

DizzyNorthernBird · 13/01/2015 10:55

Ah that's good you think you've managed to catch it then hair, this is such a tricky business isn't it! I've started testing early this month to make sure I avoid the confusion I had last month.

I'm always a teeny bit jealous of those of you with shorter cycles. So much for tww.... I have to wait an age for my fertile week & I'm so impatient to get going! Grin

Homeboddy49 · 13/01/2015 10:55

Hello everyone,

A very late starter to this group but driving myself a little insane here so wanted to post for the first time.

AF due 26th Jan. I had a MC Nov 1st and since then can not stop thinking of anything else. My Husband works away during the week so ttc is frustrating and difficult.

All the BFP here are so encouraging.
Xx

MaMaPo · 13/01/2015 10:59

Welcome homeboddy - very sorry to hear about your MC. I hope we can help support your while you're TTC. It must be extra tough not to have your husband around a lot.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 13/01/2015 11:01

Haven't been on for a while as feeling a bit low about the whole ttc situation here. DH has decided he isn't so sure anymore and I'm struggling at work. I want to leave.

I'm kind of just bumbling along waiting for af. Dtd on d 11 of my 31 day cycle. So pretty sure there is absolutely no chance for me this month.

Hopefully I'll be on the February bus but not sure yet.

Congratulations on all the BFPs this has been a pretty busy thread .

Homeboddy49 · 13/01/2015 11:05

Thanks Mamapo it is amazing knowing all your ladies are out there as well and we can all help each other.

GlitteryLipgloss · 13/01/2015 11:18

Spinning I'm due AF this Thursday. X

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2015 11:25

Glittery, ooh fx for you Grin

Welcome homebody, hope you get your sticky bfp soon.

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2015 11:27

Beautician, sorry you're having a tough time, I hope Dh stays onboard with the baby making, it gets hard sometimes Thanks

Blue500 · 13/01/2015 11:29

Good luck for your acupuncture Spinning. Smile I did 5 wks worth just before Xmas.

I wore jeans which I had to take off and also rolled up my top.

She put the needles in my wrist, tummy, ankles, feet, calves and forehead. But it varied each time depending on where you are in your cycle. Don't be alarmed Shock the needles aren't like real needles, they're really bendy and light and you don't feel them at all. I didn't move at all during my first session for fear of hurting myself with them, but by the last I moved a lot!

Best of luck, let us know how you get on Smile

BananaRaces · 13/01/2015 11:37

Well, having said yesterday that I was having no symptoms at all (tempting fate)... today I am feeling nauseous as hell, have no appetite and I'm very hot and bothered - I also slept really badly last night.

I don't know whether I am getting some sort of illness, or whether this is some sort of sick-and-twisted way for my body to express it's PMT. But either way it is rubbish and I think if it carries on I might end up testing tomorrow... I should really wait until Thursday, but I'm suddenly feeling horribly impatient! Grin

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2015 11:44

Thanks Blue, think I'll wear a long skirt and top. I'm quite intrigued with it and looking forward to my session. I'm hoping it might get rid of the nausea I suffer with during the 2ww......and obviously help to get a bfp Grin I shall report back tomorrow Grin

Blimeygirl · 13/01/2015 11:54

Ok now I know I'm losing the plot and need to calm down!! So if I did ov the it should have been on the 8th of this month. We dtd on the 5th and had spotting yesterday which I thought was my elusive AF turning up but it hasn't turned into anything. Could it be implantation or am I just being a crazy woman??!!

Nervous83 · 13/01/2015 11:55

Welcome homeboddy my 'backup' app that I am following says my AF is due 26th Jan too, so in the same boat. Finding myself googling all sorts of random things as well as over analysing everything. Last night my dog wouldn't settle without being right next to me. He always sleeps in his bed but wouldn't lay down.... does he know something I don't??

Beautician sending hugs. I do think things have a way of working themselves out if they are meant to be. Stay positive Smile

gennibugs · 13/01/2015 11:59

Having been so good all cycle and not obsessing, now the final days are here I can't stop symptom spotting! I haven't done a scrap of work today, thankfully I'm working from home but still I need to pull my finger out!

pikz I am 9dpo too I think. Trying not to get my hopes up though.

beautician Thanks sorry you're finding things tough ttc and that work is not good. Could you move on do you think to a new job somewhere!

hair step away from those tests!! You know it's early and you know bfns are just horrid! Grin

Fx glittery some good symptoms there.

spinning I am excited for your acupuncture - it feels like it's been a long time coming. I am looking forward to hearing about it. I'm thinking about trying so would be good to hear what it was like!!

Welcome homebody

banana try to hold out from testing if you can.,.,

Sparkly123 · 13/01/2015 12:00

Good luck with acupuncture spinning I've had it before for other things but not for fertility. Hope it works great for you!! Oh and I wouldnt worry what you wear they will find access where needed!

Failuretolaunch hi! Yep there is a feb bus all set to go I think!! Noticed you saying you love a chart earlier! Ha. Mine is confusing me this month as my temp is slowly increasing rather than decreasing as normal at this stage!! How are you doing?

Banana I've been really nauseated too the past couple days but I often get that in the TWW. Fingers crossed for you!!!!! Try hold off to test.. If you can!!

Homeboddy welcome! So sorry to hear of your MC and hope you find the buses helpful, although hoping it will be a super quick journey to a BFP for you! Makes such a difference knowing there are ladies out there going through the same Flowers

Hairstylisttoboris and Melon oh no are we back to the slaps again?! While you are at it hit me back please?!? Sending positive thoughts to you both!!!
