This is cycle #3 TTC for me. I really hoping this will be my month. Who's with me?

I'm sorry you have that it sounds crap! Hope you are successful this month. And more importantly doesn't hurt too much! I don't think there is any actual way of knowing if you ovulate unless you have a blood test on the right day. I've never had one confirmed because I'm not particularly regular and have never managed to get in on the right day so am thinking all that can be done is just accept that I probably ovulate just after a positive test. I've had months of nothing on opks, only 2 confirmed ovulations a over 20 month period, last month and this month which makes me hopeful it is actual ovulation and not just a surge.

Ttc 20 months
But only 2nd month where I've ovulated so I suppose it's really only 2 Sad
3dpo

Oh wow, here I am whining after 6 months and you've been trying for 20! That all sounds incredibly frustrating. Do you do OPKs throughout the whole month? Are the doctors able to give you anything to assist ovulation? Do they know what's causing it, or like everything to do with this bloody TTC business is it all just part of the big unknown?x

FlatWhiteToGo · 24/05/2015 19:02

P.S. Thank you Smile. Hopefully you there won't be any tears when we DTD this month. DH doesn't seem to get particularly turned on by that move.

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 20:38

Ovulation stopped because of the
depo, it just took forever to get out of my system.
I did have an appointment to get clomid in April but I ovulated in April so he wouldn't give it to me. Sent me away for another 3 months to keep trying.
Hopefully now I'm ovulating (or so I hope) then things will just happen without any help.
I was using opk's every day for months as I thought I may be ovulating at a funny time but all negative. Even started testing twice a day presuming I was missing ovulation if it happened in the evening. Went though a couple of hundred so far this year and it turns out that I just wasn't ovulating. I'm a bit of an addict! Ha.
Fast forward to now and only test during the week when I should be ovulating as I think things are a little more normal now and know when to expect it.
Not sure what happens next time I see the Dr in 3 months? Hopefully I won't need to see him!

Can they fix this endomitriosis? Or is it just something you have to live with?

Thisisbonkers · 24/05/2015 20:51

I got kicked off the May bus. I'm due to ovulate whilst on holiday so hopefully that will prove lucky!

Ttc #1, cycle 6? 7?

pingoose · 24/05/2015 23:29

glamhelp I've been temping to know my dpo, but I'm really not sure how accurate I've been - my app (Ovia) has just told me the days are wrong, and I've ovulated later than I thought. Sigh!

Thisisbonkers fingers crossed for some holiday luck!

hopingforbaby3 · 25/05/2015 01:53

Hey ladies, I'm really hoping this is our month for BFPs :)
I am 28, DH is 31, we have two DDs (2 year old and 3 year old) and we would really love to conceive baby number #3. I had a BFP there last month but recently lost it through early MC, but after a few days feeling sorry for myself I'm ready to try again. I'm on CD8 :) lots of baby dust to you x

thundernlightning · 25/05/2015 03:29

Can I jump on? The May bus was a no-go so here's hoping for a BFP in June. Am actually feeling incredibly fatigued and in my TWW (due on the 5th) so really hopeful for this cycle.

Good luck to everybody trying, especially the people who've been trying for a while. I hope June's the month!

pulpi · 25/05/2015 06:36

Welcome to the June bus, ladies!

Vap0 · 25/05/2015 08:16

Thunder your dates sound similar to mine. AF due 4th June. 4dpo today. And I've been feeling absolutely exhausted since ovulation day, needing to go back to bed after 10+ hrs sleep. I really hope this is a sign! Last month from the notes I made I wasn't feeling so fatigued until 8dpo.
Is this a common thing after ovulation when expecting a bfp? Or is it just normal when you're not?

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 14:16

5/6 dpo today, the sides of my boobs started to hurt especially when lying on them, has anyone else felt the same? Feeling tired also but I have been working a month of night shift so not sure if it's just that. My boobs do usually become sore near time of AF but not usually this soon. Any advise would be much appreciated.

MyNameIsSuz · 25/05/2015 18:50

My boobs hurt too, but too early to be pg I think - along with a shooting pain in my side earlier today and a fierce hunger, I think that's ovulation. Best get cracking!!!

FlatWhiteToGo · 25/05/2015 19:11

Good luck when you see the doctor Vap - that all sounds incredibly frustrating! Sod's law you ovulate when you're about to start clomid. Hopefully you'll now ovulate more regularly all by yourself! That's really annoying having to spend so much money on OPKs...and in hindsight they would never have shown anything. Fingers crossed over the next few months you'll get some good news.

You mentioned that you spend a lot of times in hotels - do you get any control over when you get sent away? I'm just thinking in terms of DTD around the right time. It's something we have to work around as I'm often away from home, so I'm having to plan annual leave around when I MAY be ovulating!

From what I have been told, they can never cure endometriosis but you can have surgery to improve it for a few years (they either cut or laser it away). Long term, being on the pill improves the symptoms...and ultimately many women decide to have a hysterectomy. All scary stuff Sad.

In other news, hello to all the newbies. It's lovely to see some more people on here. Hopefully you'll all have short journeys, and in the meantime I'm sorry about all the sore boobs!

Vap0 · 25/05/2015 19:46

I wish I had sore boobs! It's a great sign! Good luck to the sore boob brigade Flowers
flat do you think you will have an operation to help sort things? Will they do it now you are trying? Does it cause any complications when pregnant? Or is it just the getting pregnant that is the problem?
Yeah, I'm away a lot, most of the time I can plan things but I am often summoned my presence is often requested in other parts of the country at the drop of a hat which is frustrating! I've been lucky the last couple of moths and been home for most of the last 2 fertile windows. Fingers crossed I can arrange it for June too Smile but hopefully I won't need to Wink

Work doesn't half get in the way of ttc! I hope you don't use all your holidays up trying, unless you manage to make them nice trips away. Could you book them and then see if they would be sending you away and if not cancel them? Muwahaha!

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 21:16

Ok thanks suz. Got a smiley face on opk 6 days ago so would I still feel those things now. I too am constantly needing to eat. I guess I am coming up to the last week off tww and usually do get really Hungary the run up to AF. Hope it's not that though.

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 21:17

Thanks vap is sore boobs really a good sign?

MyNameIsSuz · 25/05/2015 21:55

Rachel, I think that sounds like a good sign! I meant it's too early for me, I think you're a week or so ahead Smile. Fingers crossed for you!! I've been pregnant twice now and tender boobs were the first sign both times for me.

pingoose · 25/05/2015 22:46

Vap0 we've got the same AF due date - also don't have sore boobs :( Promised DH I wouldn't symptom spot, but can't help it!

louwn · 25/05/2015 22:55

Trying not to symptom spot here (9 dpo but only first cycle so would be very lucky!).

Vap0 · 25/05/2015 23:20

goose when will you be poas? You'll have to keep us updated Grin
rachel I think sore boobs is one of the most common early symptoms, unfortunately it's also an early sign of af too. If the pain is on the side and going up into your armpit I think that is far more likely to be a pregnancy symptom than an af warning. Where is the pain?

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 23:28

Thanks suz that has given me hope. Iv not been pregnant before so I don't know what signs to expect. Fingers crossed for you too. It really helps having people to talk to about it as me and dp have been trying for 10 mths now and haven't told anyone that we are ttc.

thundernlightning · 26/05/2015 00:45

Vap0 I think it's basically impossible not to symptom spot!

Rachelc82 It'd be the first for us too. I had a very early miscarriage some years ago (5 weeks or so), but for the most part… I have no idea what I'm doing (story of my life, really). We can be baffled together Grin!

Ladies, I'm SO tired. Today I almost set the kitchen on fire because I forgot what I was doing on the stove. I really hope I'm pregnant; then I can blame my exhaustion/forgetfulness on that!

Rachelc82 · 26/05/2015 05:18

Thunder I'm sorry about your miscarriage such a painful experience I imagine. It would be nice to support one another through our journeys how long have you been TTC

MyNameIsSuz · 26/05/2015 06:41

Thunder, sorry you've been through mc too, it's awful isn't it.

Just checked my diary and this month has gone quicker than I thought, I'll be ready to test on the 7th! Wahey. Despite being absolutely certain yesterday I was ovulating, and still am really, those few extra days have got me symptom spotting like crazy! Metallic taste anyone??

smellsofelderberries · 26/05/2015 10:47

Suz, I had metallic taste at 7, 8 and 9 DPO last cycle. Wasn't pregnant. I was excited about the taste as I've not had it before ever, but then I had a lot of spotting a few days later which turned into my actual period. I hope that's not the case for you.

If I ovulate when I'm supposed to this month I'll be 10DPO on Father's Day. Fingers crossed I ovulate slightly early and have the chance of a BFP on Father's Day. I would really, really love that.
