Brooke I'm sorry that you've had so much worry over the weekend. Good to hear you had a better sleep last night tho and let us know what the GP comes back with.

Pulpi Sorry I can't help, my cycles have been all over the place since my mmc. It does sound like stress and illness may have played a part tho.

CD34 of 37 day cycle for me. I honestly feel as though AF is about to start tho, feeling very heavy, achy and a bit sicky since I woke up. If no AF by Friday morning I will poas, bought some FRERs at the weekend just for the occasion. Grin Stay away wicked witch!!!!

DizzyMerry · 18/05/2015 11:46

Miss has it started to sink in yet? Hope you're doing ok.

Sorry AF got you mum and *wish. Onwards and upwards to the next cycle.

Night I am in awe of you dtd in the morning. I have told DH that his services will be required two mornings this cycle.

Carlton I hope you get to dtd tonight. I know how difficult it can be with poorly toddlers around but quietly quietly is the way to go.

Brooke it's a good sign that you're feeling better this morning and no AF.

FF tells me I'll be ovulating on Friday. We dtd last night and the plan is to do it everyday from tomorrow up to Saturday morning and will get an extra go in on Friday morning too.

nightandthelight · 18/05/2015 12:11

It was a close run thing merry! I also want to dtd tomorrow morning as I think that will be the day I ov so want some sperm in situ :)

Sounds like you have a plan in place! Very impressive Grin

For the first time since starting ttc I have EWCM!

OP posts:
Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 14:34

Yay for Ewcm night hehe

Sorry haven't caught up today yet, just a quick check in to say I have got a uti and they've put me on.antibiotics. Did another test about an hour ago, so I know it wasn't fmu, but it was so faint still :( shouldn't it get darker? God I hate this...

Carltonlives · 18/05/2015 14:38

Yay night and right on target too with your sneaky dtd this morning! Are you at work of can you get another session in today/tonight?

Can I just ask if anyone gets any ovulation symptoms? Is that even a thing?! Is here anything I can be looking out for to see when I ovulate without temping/opking? Only slightly worried because I have backache today and after my dtd fail last night I hope it's not ovulation related! Ovia's predicting my most fertile day as Friday

nightandthelight · 18/05/2015 14:42

Am in work but will see if DH can manage it tonight or tomorrow morning Carlton :)

As far as I am aware I do not get any ov symptoms (other than CM) but I know that some people know exactly when they are oving due to cramps etc. Back ache could be for so many reasons! If in doubt dtd though :)

OP posts:
Carltonlives · 18/05/2015 14:42

brooke I'm so glad they are sorting your uti, when I've had them before its only taken a day or two of antibiotics and I've felt miles better.

Try and stay positive for now, no af and a positive test can only be good signs - and all the pain you had could be just related to the infection Flowers

nightandthelight · 18/05/2015 14:47

Yay for treatment Brooke!

Don't panic about the faint line, aren't you not late yet? Not late and without fmu I would be surprised if your line wasn't faint! :)

OP posts:
Carltonlives · 18/05/2015 14:53

night I will definitely dtd tonight, toddler allowing Grin

DizzyMerry · 18/05/2015 14:58

Brooke the antibiotics should start to kick in in the next couple of days and you should start to feel better. Try to get plenty of rest as you've really been through the mill over the weekend. Don't worry about the line being faint. You are pregnant and I'm sure it will get darker as your hcg levels start to rise.

Whoop whoop night. Hope you can dtd again tonight.

Carlton I get ewcm and only got ov symptoms a couple of cycles ago. I got cramps and a ache around my right ovary. I haven't noticed it since though.

Ok so what's the best position for a retroverted uterus? I may as well try all I can this cycle. Please don't say doggy style as DH is quite large and that position is agony for me!

mammabmamma · 18/05/2015 16:05

brooke - hope the anti b's kick in soon. Hopefully once the UTI has cleared up you will feel a bit better. I don't think you need to panic about the lines. Stick your feet up with some hot chocolate and a good book, or a flm.

DizzyMerry I'm not sure but didn't want to leave you out.

Carlton - there is a good way of knowing when you ovulate although most people cringe at the idea. When your body get's ready to ovulate, the "os" which is the entrance to the cervix (you can feel it as a little dip in your cervix with your finger) begins to open, and at it's peak the os opens to around a pen's width.

Now the best way to see this is with a speculum and your partner can have a look for you, if your partner is too squeamish or really doesn't want to, then you can do it with the speculum and a mirror.

Me and my husband do our own artificial insemination because of fertility issues, so for us it's vital that he deposits his sperm sample directly on top of the os, using a syringe, so it's given a helping and, this is how we conceived our little one :-) It's not for everyone though lol.

wishiwaspregnant · 18/05/2015 17:05

Glad to hear that you have a diagnosis brooke uti can be so painful. The fact u could see the blood just goes to show how bad it was! Bless you! Fx for you I'm sure all will be fine now!
Quick question for anyone out there with same problem... Looking for advice on LPD? ...

wishiwaspregnant · 18/05/2015 17:12

Oh and pulpi in answer to your previous question: personally I've not been noticing my cycles at all in 34 years until now. Ttc has opened my eyes! If u asked me a year ago how long my cycles were or when I last had AF or how long it was I'd have not had a clue! Completely clueless! Didn't even know what EWCM was until now! So I guess having temped for the first time last cycle I'm discovering a whole new world! I feel like a science experiment! Especially now I've signed onto the cb trial! Lol

88blueshoes · 18/05/2015 17:52

Hope you feel better soon brooke

pulpi I'm new to TTC but I've noticed people on other forums saying their cycle changed once they started. Maybe it's the stress of TTC, although it sounds like you've had plenty of other stressful things going on too!

carlton the main symptoms I get are cramps, sore boobs and backache. I'm useless at understanding CM! I don't really know what I'm looking for. I do use OPKs though and have found them very helpful.

wish I've signed onto the trial too now, thanks for the tip off!

I'm 4DPO so just trying to be patient right now! Thinking I might test Saturday morning. Anyone with me??

loopylou1984 · 18/05/2015 18:06

88 - sat will only be 9dpo! Don't test early! It's too heart breaking to see those arctic sticks!

Brooke - sorry you're poorly, uti's are horrible. I too had one that got to the stage of blood on urine, just awful. Xx

DizzyMerry · 18/05/2015 18:16

Thanks mamma for giving me the time of day!

I've just done some googling and lying on the stomach for 15 mins is recommended with a pillow under the hips. Will be giving it a go.

9dpo is way too early 88. I'd try to wait til at least 12dpo.

wishiwaspregnant · 18/05/2015 18:37

Sorry dizzy didn't mean to miss you out. Maybe someone with more info on positions will come along soon? I'm still waiting for some advice too Wink

88blueshoes · 18/05/2015 18:43

Sorry dizzy, didn't mean to ignore you either! Sadly I can't help but hopefully someone can.

And dizzy and sammy....I guess you're right. I'm the least patient person ever! Thank goodness I have you guys to talk sense, in my slightly crazy TTC mode I just know that testing will seem like a brilliant idea as soon as my internet cheapies fall through the letterbox. Will try and be sensible!

nightandthelight · 18/05/2015 18:55

Merry I too have heard that stomach lying is the way forward!

OP posts:
DizzyMerry · 18/05/2015 18:57

Oh I didn't mean it in a sarcastic way 88 and wish and thanks for your replies. It's easy to skim past posts and not comment when you don't know what the answer is.

88 I've only seen a couple of bfn's and it's soul destroying. I refuse to test unless I'm a couple of weeks late.

birchygoo · 18/05/2015 19:18

ohh woohoo I found ye! I'll catch up now! x

Pogmella · 18/05/2015 19:33

brooke you're a flipping hero! When I passed blood I was in so much pain husband was sent to walk 3 miles to a&e at 1am on new years eve (with all the drunks!) to collect antibiotics for me immediately!

88blue think I'm 2dpo but going to wait til Fri 29th as not sure if I'm due Thur 28th or Mon 1st (last cycle got messed upby a load of long haul flights and jet lag)

Pogmella · 18/05/2015 19:36

Oh yeah- anyone else get bigger boobs post ov? Always assumed it was before ov but now I'm paying more attention it seems to be after? Still doing it eod just in case but curious....

birchygoo · 18/05/2015 19:46

Brooke I'm so sorry you are feeling so ill - hopefully you will be feeling better soon with antibiotics

sorry I can't help with any of your questions - I do have one of my own
