Institute of bodies doing strange and unexpected things, but we're still gonna get our Bfps! (the loveliest group of hand-holders you ever did meet)

[haquoi123]

Tww thread #2! Best wonderful group ever, wishing you all the best with your bfps! Thanks for keeping my chin up when I've been at my lowest and celebrating the highs with me - all the love xxx

I've started with pre af breast tenderness. I'm 8dpo, but since coming off the pill my af's have arrived between 10 and 12dpo. Starting to lose hope.

Doom fingers crossed, wait and see. The most frustrating thing is that af symptoms and early pg symptoms are pretty much exactly the same.

I had a heart to heart with DP yday, we're constantly missing peak days and I want to try to BD on peak day this cycle. He says he feels pressured but he'll try. Feeling emotional and all over the place :(

Fuzzy, my dh is also feeling pressured I think. Tbh it's become a chore now and I hate the situation.

My Foo Fighters concert has been cancelled so feeling very sorry for myself

CD21 and really lacking in energy and very sore boobs. My ovulation day changed so am now only 6dpo instead of 8! Birthday and AF due to arrive this time next week while I am speeding off for a day in Brussels!

Sorry about the concert Red - how annoying.

It's good that you've got Brussels to look forward to though and hopefully af won't make an appearance for you at all.

Sorry to hear about the Foo fighters concert Red, I saw that in the papers.

On the upside everything crossed tat you have a terrific birthday and that BFP :)

Finding, I was feeling like that last cycle, sort of I don't want to BD anymore. DP was saying he feels I only want to be intimate with him in order to get pregnant, which is ridiculous, I love him so much and I love being with him and a baby would be a wonderful amazing cherry on the cake after many years of a lot of sadness (so no pressure there then).
I'm trying not to panic or get upset this cycle, I'm feeling more relaxes then I was, haven't OV'ed yet, will see if I can maintain the calm.

Yes focusing on my Brussels trip.

My temp is still high (higher the last 3 days) so hoping this is positive. Woke up in the night with an awful headache which isn't shifting

Definitely feel as though af is on her way. I could be due on any time between tomorrow and Monday depending on cycle length this month. Let the pants watch begin. Oh I fly out to Italy tomorrow too so as much as anything, hoping af doesn't show cus don't want af to be here all my holiday.

Remember the days I could just take my pill in the 7 day break if I didn't want to come on on holiday

Where in Italy doom? I went to Rome and Venice in March. It was amazing!

Sorrento

Oh how lovely!

Hello...

Can I join. Bit of a lurker but starting to try so want to join the chat. So I'm 40, dc#2, cycle 1 and CD 17 so I'm in my 2 wW.

I was part of a conception bus when I had my first pregnancy 3 years ago and it really helped me so I'm back!

Welcome sonia!!

Welcome Sonia! Hopefully it will be positive again this time! CD23 and no dip in temperature and remaining high. 8dpo but ovulation day changed so could be 10. Out for a birthday meal with the in laws on Tuesday which is the day before I'm due so may test then I think.

How are we all? Any nice plans for the weekend?

Doom have a wonderful holiday and fingers crossed for your BFP

Hello all!

I've been lurking too recently as it's been a bit of a tough week and I wonder if I can join your group too?

I'm 4 days late for AF, and all tests have come up BFN. When we were TTC I did the Clearblue ovulation test and we DTD across all the happy smiley faces days. I've never been as late as this and AF has always come right on time.

I've got a docs appointment for monday, but I am just very confused and just wanted to wave and say hi.

All things crossed for your BFPs :-)

Hi Sonia and Georgette.

Good luck everyone who is in their tww.

Georgette, that does sound promising despite the BFN. Good luck with your appointment - let us know how it goes.

Hi Finding

Thanks for your response! So much out there on BFN's not necessarily picking up on some people, but it's still so confusing. I've been feeling tired and bloated and definitely aggro as well, and lots of (TMI ALERT) wet feeling and white discharge so I've been knicker watching quite a bit (I'm not sure if that's the right term!). I will keep you posted. The Docs I booked about a month ago to go talk about my fertility because we've been TTC for nearly a year, so it just so happens it coincides with this! I will definitely let you know either way. Also if AF arrives as well!

Just wanted to also chip in about the dh and TTC situation. I never thought it would feel different, but somehow when there's an agenda like TTC I have found it does alter things a bit. I tackled my DH about this (not particularly successfully mind) because it felt as though I was having to rally him to give it a go, so it's ongoing for us too. But I feel for you if you are hearing your DH is feeling pressured. Something about the process changes the dynamics maybe?

Wishing you luck with your TWW and all here :-)

Welcome Sonia & georgette, Sonia hope this conception thread is as lucky for you as your last. GeorgetteHeyer (love her books), fingers crossed maybe ask your GP to do blood tests if af is still a no show when you have your appointment?

Doom and Red good luck, is the constant higher temp a good thing Red?

Finding how are you doing?

Soooo I got a peak this morning on my CBFM aaaaaannnnd DP is away tonight grrrr, we did manage to dtd last night so I'm hoping that works and will try and BD on Saturday (that's the plan anyway)

Hi Fuzzy

Thanks for the welcome, and great suggestion, I will follow up with the GP and let you know. Those GeorgetteHeyer heroines never quite get around to this stage in the books, hum? Love them too!

Hopefully last night's BD and Saturday will work with the peak CBFM, as the little swimmers can stay around for a good few days I think? All good vibes though :-)

Hi fuzzy,

Sounds like you're doing all the right things.

I'm not hopeful this month. Just a gut feeling. The clomid is causing a lot of dryness and I'm very sore down there (TMI).

We've decided to make an appointment for August with our consultant to begin IVF. We're not going to put too much hope on the clomid.

finding, would you consider trying pre-seed?

Go to the GP about the soreness? That would totally put me off dtd you poor thing.

I hope the chlomid does work for you anyway, not sure if you can take it alongside chlomid, but evening primrose oil or strarflower oil are good for EWCM only taken up till ov then you stop. Would ask your GP before taking it alongside Chlomid.

When we had our initial consultation the doctor recommended 3 months of clomid and then straight to IVF as he thinks I'll have a better chance the younger I am.

I know the procedure is pretty tough but I just want to get started now. Before I chicken out!

How many cycles of chlomid have you done now?

Do tell the doctor of the side effects tho and if you're going to go thro another cycle, do the starflower oil, also honey and cinnamon and also I've read grapefruit is good for EWCM (not sure but I like it so eat it anyway).

I'm in my tww of my second cycle. AF due around 29th.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'm going shopping tomorrow so I'll pick up some of the things.

5dpo here and firmly in tww. Got to book d21 bloods for tuesday - if I can get an appointment!! FF says I shouldn't poas until July 3rd but, by then, I'll be 19dpo!!
