Haha remember I'm imagining a box taking over your livingroom.

I have a fertility appointment next week.

I'm not quite sure when I'm due af. Originally was the9th but ovulation late so ff now calculates it as 12. But I'm convinced it is coming tonight as have really bad cramps Hmm

Rememberallball · 11/07/2015 19:16

Evening all.

Just want a bit of a moan as feeling really crap today. Actually started early hours yesterday morning after DP went to work I had cystitis symptoms and up and down to the loo every 20 minutes. Took a sachet of relief granules and did feel a bit better but not 100% all day. Last night when I got home I had a headache and felt ugh - didn't even fancy a glass of wine!! I also had lower back ache which I put down to lugging sacks of stuff for the charity shop downstairs and into the car then into their shop.

This morning I felt the same with cystitis symptoms and back ache. Taken more granules but also got pain in my side. Eating very little if I'm honest as after a few mouthfuls I get pain in my side.

Am going to continue with granules overnight and see how I am in the morning. If no better then it will be a trip to the walk in centre as I'm not sure if this is cystitis, a UTI or an early kidney infection. Whatever it is, I want it to go away.

And to think I was excited this morning because I went from blank circle to static smily face on the Clearblue digital opk so am peak fertile time according to them!!

Hello ladies.

Just catching up with some of the stuff I've missed.

I don't have anything positive to update you with. I've finished my chlomid this month and now I'm taking the oestrogen supplement. I'm on cd 11 and no signs of ovulation yet.

My family member had her baby - a little girl. I had a really traumatic time at the hospital when we visited as some of her other visitors were pretty insensitive towards me. I'm feeling pretty down - don't even want to bother ttc anymore.

fuzzywuzzy · 12/07/2015 04:37

Remember if you're in pain go to ooh or whatever the equivalent is, if you're in pain don't let it get worse.

Finding, would cd 11 be early to ov? I usually ov cd 13 my cycles are 25/26 days tho.
I'm sorry your family members visitors were insensitive towards you, try and ignore them. Good luck for this cycle.

Everyone who's done the clearblue trial, did you use the giant potty thing to collect samples in? I used a small cup (bought for collecting samples in only), and the potty has never been used. Was amusing to collect the samples in the fridge drawer.

Rememberallball · 12/07/2015 08:08

Thanks fuzzy, I took pain relief and went to bed at 9pm. Slept ok but still got dull ache in my back/left side. Urine looks cloudy so probably uti as also got pain when I wee. Am going to go to pharmacy as ours does the prescribing thing and see if they'll treat me or want me to go to walk in centre which is only a couple of miles away. Not sure what else we're going to do today. Got things to look up online so probably that!!

Rememberallball · 12/07/2015 08:17

Sorry, posted too soon.

I use the 'hat' as its so easy. Then decant into the pots supplied. Also then have the 'leftovers' to test with opk or whatever.

On that line, with the Clearblue digital opk, how long does it take for the solid smiley face to disappear? I got mine yesterday on the 3rd day of using their opks. This morning I noticed the smiley face is still there on the handle.

Lastly, finding, my +ve opk came d10 this cycle but d13 last cycle. That can move but your LP will stay the same length so I'll expect AF to be 2-3 days earlier than last cycle.

fuzzywuzzy · 12/07/2015 11:05

Remember the static smiley start for 3days then disappears. Same for the clear blue fertility monitor, theory is those three are your most fertile days as you are likely to ov in the next 24 or so hours from the first static smiley.

findingmyfeet12 · 12/07/2015 11:36

Hope you get it sorted soon Remember. I went through a 3 year phase where I had recurrent uti's and it was agony.

Still no ovulation today.

doomkittycleo · 12/07/2015 13:42

So I'm currently 9dpo, I know I'm not pregnant cus we missed fertile window this month, but waiting to see if vitamin B complex has lengthened leutal phase. I ovulated on cd13 this month (usually ovulate on Cd15), so 2 days earlier than previous cycles.

Just waiting to start af so I can start next cycle and the ClearBlue trial.

diamondsparkles · 12/07/2015 18:38

Hi everyone Smile
finding - so sorry to hear you had a bad time at the hospital, people can be so bloody insensitive at times and have no idea. I hope you are feeling better today.
remember - hope you're feeling better now and your uti has gone.
My af was due yesterday but nothing yet which is unusual. I'm not getting excited though as tests are bfn. Hope my body isn't going to mess me about too much now

Red193 · 13/07/2015 11:09

Hi everyone! Another manic weekend for us with a wedding and christening! Had a horrific week last week and almost quit my job. I think my bad luck is over now though! I'm debating treating myself to Gourmet Burger Kitchen at lunch time

fuzzywuzzy · 13/07/2015 12:01

Red do it. I make it a rule to treat myself to something decadent (doesn't need to be insanely expensive) at least once a month (would be more if budget allowed)

Afternoon all. Well, at least there is a reason I felt crap all weekend - I have a kidney infection!! On antib's for 3 days as is new NHS policy but, if I don't feel better by Wednesday, its back to the GP for further treatment.

One of the questions today at walk in centre was about whether I could be pregnant (obviously to rule out ectopic) felt strange saying that we're trying but not successful yet!!

Have a good week all!!

fuzzywuzzy · 14/07/2015 09:33

Remember, I hope you feel better soon and recover quickly. I ate antibiotics, I always end up with a knock on effect from them, last time being oral thrush, lovely (not!).

So I got my peak this morning and no BDing recently, I know why I'm not pregnant yet, no bloody BD'ing.

Red193 · 14/07/2015 09:59

What are we thinking ladies? Implantation dip??

Rememberallball · 14/07/2015 11:01

Morning all. Feel same as yesterday at the moment, Fuzzy. At least I don't feel any worse! !

My temps have been low all this cycle so I doubt anything is happening. Have booked my appointment for bloods for next week. Now just need to speak to Dr as need other bloods doing so will need forms for them and need a swab doing too. Oh well, will have to try and get a phone consultation with him for this week!!

findingmyfeet12 · 14/07/2015 11:24

Hello ladies,

Still no sign of ovulation and I'm cd 15.

The last couple of days I've been having terrible stomach cramps. Not like period pain but higher up. I've also had a bit of trapped wind (sorry for tmi). My dh was worried it might be appendicitis but it's more on the left side.

Not sure what's going on.

findingmyfeet12 · 14/07/2015 11:59

I've just vomited quite a lot. I'd just taken my meds so I guess they will have come back up too.

Rememberallball · 15/07/2015 06:00

Oh dear Finding, I hope you feel better soon and that it's just a bug. I managed to sleep well last night and thought things were improving but, since I got up to do my fmu for the Clearblue study, I'm now in pain Iin the same place so guess it's going to be there all day again as it has since Friday evening.

Have a good day, how is everyone else getting on?

doomkittycleo · 15/07/2015 07:57

So according to my ovuview app, Af is due today. That's assuming my cycles are still 25 days. The last 2 cycles were 27 days so hoping she will wait until Friday/Sunday and the vitamin B complex has done the trick.

As soon as Af arrives I can start the ClearBlue trial.

Also I spoke to the nurse at GP practice when I went for my smear. She said not only do I need to wait a year before they would do any investigations, because I was on the pill before they'd probably wait a further 6 months again.

She also said with her first it took 3 years and ivf to conceive, but the second time she got pregnant first cycle. She put that down to stress.

findingmyfeet12 · 16/07/2015 10:59

Finally got a positive result with my ovulation test today. Also had loads of ewcm.

Feeling positive for the first time in ages.

fuzzywuzzy · 16/07/2015 11:37

good luck finding.

Doom how are you, af still at bay?

I've been thinking, when the OPK shows a static smiley or peak on the CBAFM, is it too late to BD then? I always thought the peak indicated that ov was about to happen soon and is the optimum time to BD. Just wandering as it doesnt seem to be very clear.

doomkittycleo · 16/07/2015 13:21

fuzzy you are right, positive opk means that you are about to ovulate. Temp spiking is after you have ovulated. Should BD as much as poss before you ovulate as semen can survive for a few days.

Red193 · 17/07/2015 06:23

So can you see what I can see???
