Whether you have just started trying or been at it for years. Using IVF, AI, or just good old fashioned shagging, all are welcome.

Beautcian iv only been taking pregnacare,

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 02/09/2015 08:01

Maybe it's pregnacare. I did come off it for a couple of days but didn't notice any difference so I'm back on it now. I think my body has just got used to it.

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/09/2015 09:31

Morning!

Sorry for af rainy Flowers

?dpo today, temp is back up but I took it 1 1/2 hours later than usual. Have woke up feeling odd, unlikely to be anything pregnancy related though, have probably slept funny! Feeling sore around my right kidney area and had pain high up in my abdomen before breakfast, possibly stomach area. My teeth on my right side also hurt, like I've been chewing something really tough or that tenderness you get in your gums when you've flossed for the first time in a while!?! Strange.

Yes we need a bfp! Who is next to test? My af is due at some point between Saturday and a week on Saturday Hmm. Will be on constant cm watch in the next few days to check for the usual spotting.

Back to work this evening, ugh Sad. On a positive note I only have to work two days and then I'm off for the weekend and it's my weekend with DP without the stepkids Smile, it feels like ages since we've had days off with just the two of us.

Woolly84 · 02/09/2015 10:57

Hope those are all positive signs dizzy!! Wink my bottom front teeth are a bit sore too - hopefully they're not going to fall out given I've been quite OCD about flossing/mouthwash etc! Confused
Good news about the romantic weekend
Smile

AF should be turning up around 13th Sep for me, I will test that morning if I've not come on before then.

Hope everyone else is ok x

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/09/2015 14:08

Does anyone else waste ridiculous amounts of time studying their charts on ff, looking for patterns or hidden messages? Or is it just me.....Confused

Ugh I wish I could just fast forward for a week and skip this madness.

Kirjava · 02/09/2015 14:56

dizzy I waste so much time thinking and getting worked up about ttc. I wish I could be relaxed and effortless.

Hairstylisttoboris · 02/09/2015 17:54

dizzyn I study my apps in great detail looking for hidden messages...

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 02/09/2015 19:13

I do worse than that I work out my due date every month and when my first scan would be. Crazy person I know. I told my mum at the weekend and she said I just need to relax but I can't Sad

Hairstylisttoboris · 02/09/2015 19:27

I f hate it when people tell you to relax.

Rainy34 · 02/09/2015 20:31

or don't think about it and it will happen!! yeah cause that will work!!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 02/09/2015 20:36

Eurgh that's exactly what she said as well.

I obviously took her advice NOT. Because right now I'm stressing out about how high or not of a dosage of soy to take Angry

HopesUpKnickersDown · 02/09/2015 21:17

Hi ladies, so...I've finally figured out its just the app not working and mumsnet isn't down!
Sorry for AF Rainy :(
How is everyone? There's a distinct lack of bfp's on here, who's next to test?
Cd10 here, time to get busy :)

Woolly84 · 02/09/2015 21:46

Grr I hate the phrase "just relax" too or "if you stop trying it'll happen" Hmm

Have fun getting busy hopes!
I'm not sure who's testing soon actually, I'm not until about 12th/13th.

5 dpo...zzzz...

HopesUpKnickersDown · 02/09/2015 22:03

Thanks Woolly, going to put some serious effort in this month as the last two cycles have been a bit shite on the dtd front. Hope the TWW goes quickly for you, good luck!

Woolly84 · 02/09/2015 22:25

Thanks hopes you too! Smile

DizzyNorthernBird · 03/09/2015 08:38

If I stopped trying it definitely wouldn't happen! At the moment It's not happening when we're aiming for my fertile window.....without my tracking All efforts would be futile and there'd be zero chance!

Ah I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's a bit chart crazy! But that's why they put the chart galleries on there though isn't it?! For us crazies?!

Have woke up with a sore back again today, no idea why as I sleep on memory foam. My neck randomly seized up before bed last night too but feels ok this morning. I suspect my back and shoulders are possibly full of knots from sitting hunched over my keyboard for long periods of time. Need to start doing Pilates again as my posture is awful at the moment.

Big temp spike today but it's an empty circle (2 hrs late) and I always get one big spike in the middle of my LP. So I'm not reading too much into it. Honest. Wink

Good luck for your coming cycle hopes!!

Errr it might be me that's due to test next? If I can just work out when af is due anyway.....the temp spike today might give me a clue......

DizzyNorthernBird · 03/09/2015 09:07

Ok so on my last two charts I've had a temp spike at 10dpo. So if i am 10 dpo today and my average LP is 15 days, that means I should see brown cm from Monday if not pg and af next Wednesday.

This would mean I ov'd on cd26, which would suck as on cd26 we hadn't dtd for a week but we did dtd late on cd27..... So I suppose there's a teensy chance we could have caught the egg but it's unlikely.

DizzyNorthernBird · 03/09/2015 09:10

starts seaching ff chart gallery pregnancy charts with bd one day after ov......

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 03/09/2015 09:39

Impatiently awaiting my Amazon opks. Haha I'm only Cd6 so no panic just yet. DH has been away all week so I know there will be lots of dtd this weekend then next weekend should be my fertile period so more dtd. Ff has predicted my ovulation for the 14th but if it's the same as last month on soy it will be more like the 16th. DH is going to come home on the 16th so we can dtd. How's that for dedication Wink

HopesUpKnickersDown · 03/09/2015 18:56

Thanks DizzyN, good luck to you too! I had to stop tempting as it made me more crazy than usual but I still spend a lot more time on FF than I should!
Beautician that is true dedication from your DH, good luck!
I saw my GP on Tuesday as was told to go back after 6 months of trying due to my age, I also wanted to say about my crazy heavy periods which are getting worse with each cycle. He gave me a prescription to take during AF and I'm going in for a smear, internal ???? and 21 day bloods on the 14th. He also said he'd refer me for a scan but it would be a wait unless my internal gave cause to fast track it...I had a letter today though with an appointment for the 15th of this month! The letter says US Pelvis...anyone know if this is likely to be an internal or external...I'm scared :(

Hairstylisttoboris · 03/09/2015 19:28

Hopes my ultrasound was internal. It wasn't painful or to uncomfortable. Just not pleasant really but the nurse tried to make it as dignified as possible. Check out the rules though for if you have to have a full / empty bladder.

Apparently I'm 1 dpo. I'm confused this month as I had pretty much three days of positive opks. My hormones are running wild on me, I blame the soy.

loopylou1984 · 03/09/2015 20:04

Hopes I should think it will be internal. They can see far more that way. Please don't worry about it though, it's less uncomfortable than a smear test. I've had so many now that I've lost count and I don't worry about them at all. Xx

Rainy34 · 03/09/2015 20:15

Hopes I had an internal scan, i was so scared, before i had it done all i can say was once i relaxed it was much better, as i was so tense she found it hard to see , once i relaxed it was fine, so don't worry about it, you will be fine!1

HopesUpKnickersDown · 03/09/2015 20:31

Thanks ladies, having re-read it says drink 2 pints of water so I'm thinking external...but it's does make reference to transvaginal on the back...I will prepare myself accordingly just in case!
Boris lets hope 3 days of +opk's means it's a huge super fertile egg, good luck! :)

chopsface · 03/09/2015 21:29

hopes, I had an external and internal at mine. I went with a full bladder and they did the external one, then you go pee and come back for the internal one. Give me an internal any day though so I don't need to do the full bladder thing!
