Hi all, good luck fuzzy and mimi on the tww. I hope it passes v quickly for you.

Sorry utterly, will be crossing fingers for you for next month.

jennielm · 16/01/2016 14:03

Hi all,

Based on the limited info i have to hand i'm taking Drs word that 2nd Jan bleed to 7th Jan (and a bit after coil removal) was AF and by best guess should be ovulating now(ish)...DTD has been a bit intermittent but DH has flu today and i think it could be a good day for it...timing sucks!! At the very least it's a fact finding mission for us this month. Oh well, fingers crossed to no AF and BFPs for all those on the dreaded wait and I'll be testing about 2nd Feb if AF doesn't make an appearance before then Smile

UtterlyMonkey · 16/01/2016 18:32

All BFPs - are you ladies using OPKs, pregnacare, and sperm friendly lube? I'm trying to think of anything else I might try... 6 months of trying after mc is a long time in TTC world!! 😐
Anyone here on IVF, as we're seriously considering it now that my 40th is creeping up on me!!

Signoritawhocansway · 16/01/2016 19:30

Oh fuzzy and mimi - just decided I might join you for an around the 25th poas - should be late by then. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as I don't feel anything apart from a bit of light stretching. But I remember feeling that with DS1, so who knows? I keep imagining I'm feeling queasy too, but I'm hoping that's just imagination - if by any chance I do get a BFP I certainly want to keep sickness at bay for a couple of weeks yet!!!

utterly - hugs. It can't be easy for you when folk like me pop up and say 'I hope I fall quickly', so sorry if that upsets you.

Hoggle - how pleased you must be - here's to a sticky bean for you!

I couldn't remember which conception chat I had posted on already - as I don't post regularly enough for it to stay in my 'I'm on' list!

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 20:10

Thanks Hoggle.

Hopefully you have managed to do just enough jennie.

When I got pregnant after my mc Utterly, I used pregnacare conception, evening primrose oil, OPKs (both IC and Clearblue), acupuncture and some strange Chinese herbs that I was given to increase my body temperature. It did work.

Sounds like there will be lots of us Signorita and I hope we all have good news.

OP posts:
UtterlyMonkey · 16/01/2016 20:25

Thanks Sinorita and Fuzzy. I've had reflexology too. I'll try acupuncture and see how that goes. Was the Chinese herbs courtesy of the acupuncturist, Fuzz??
Baby dust and happy, wonderful pregnancies to everyone else 😘😘😘 xx

Kellz92 · 16/01/2016 20:58

Hi Mimi no news here, AF finished yesterday, still getting cramps slightly which is weird but I'm having a really bad day for my fibro so aching head to toe. Getting ready to start dtd and hope that this is my month xx

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 21:10

Yes they were Itterly and I had to take eight a day. I have moved since then but tempted to drive back and ask for more if I don't get my BFP soon!

Pulledapart2015 · 16/01/2016 21:14

hi all,
Sorry I've lost track of the thread so just gonna say hope u all are doing ok.

cramps continue and I'm rather hormonal Angry it's 11dpo for me today. so hard not to symptom spot but I've really been trying not to. AF due in 3 days so at least not long.

best of luck to all poas'ing soon x

Hopelass · 17/01/2016 08:03

I'm out for this month AF showed up yesterday Sad I think my cycle is still bit erratic after the pill (came off in November). Going to try epo and agnus castus this month. They worked with DS Grin
Anyone have any other suggestions I'm all ears!! Onwards and upwards.
Best of luck for those in the 2ww!
Huge congrats to those with bfp's and hugs for those also caught by the witch.

Shortybabe · 17/01/2016 09:30

I used CB opk and if (both drive me mad) but glad I did in a way as I ovulated on cd22 and I think without opk I wouldn't have dtd that day. I also used pregnacare as did hubby. Also balance active fertility gel from boots.
Sorry you're not feeling great Kellz. Good luck this month to u and all. X

Hopelass · 17/01/2016 11:55

Ooh thanks shorty have ordered some of the gel just now! Smile

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 14:25

I will try the gel next cycle as well if I don't get a BFP next week. Thanks for the tip Shorty.

Mimilicious013 · 17/01/2016 14:43

Sorry for af hope.best of luck next cycle.hope shorty and fuzzy and all the ladies are having a lovely sunday.

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 16:26

Hope the cramps are implantation and not AF Pulled.

Sorry to hear that Hope

I have had a lazy day due to having a cold and it being so cold outside. I just hate the 2ww as it goes so slowly, despite the fact I have a shorter than average LP so don't need to be patient for as long as the rest of you.

OP posts:
Pulledapart2015 · 17/01/2016 17:12

Thanks fuzzy I hope so too fx crossed.

Sorry AF has arrived hope the stupid horrid witch Angry fx crossed for the next cycle for you x

hope others are having a peaceful Sunday. love to all x

CocklesandMussels · 17/01/2016 18:45

Hi all, sorry I've lost track a bit. utterly, to answer your question about IVF, we're on cycle 4 post-miscarriage and have previously been told I've got ancient ovaries with very few follicles. I'm using cyclogest but may be heading down the IVF route if nothing happens soon. I'll let you know what the clinic say, I'm seeing them next week. Fingers crossed for all of us for this month though xxxx

f1ddlesticks · 17/01/2016 22:19

Hadn't heard of the gel, good to know. Sound like its roughly the same as pre-seed / conceive plus?

Feeling a bit flummoxed - CD 15 today and no sign of Ov. Usually pretty regular. Poor DP has been thoroughly pounced on but possibly to no avail! Have been temping this month for the first time and had a BBT dip this morning - maybe tomorrow will be the day?! No CM either, despite taking EPO.

Need to take my mind off it a bit - "a watched ovary never...." etc Grin

UtterlyMonkey · 17/01/2016 22:41

Cockles, I'm going to an open evening at fertility clinic next week. I can't afford to wait for an NHS referral (doc says keep trying. Maybe he thinks we haven't been..? 😕) x

FuzzyOwl · 18/01/2016 10:14

I ovulated later than I expected this month f1ddle but at least you know when you do finally release that egg the sperm will be better quality. That is what I told myself!

Hope your trips to the clinics goes well Cockles and Utterly.

Hiya everyone,

Just started trying for baby number 2 and I find that I am just as bonkers this time around as I was with the first :)

Keep on checking my fertility app thinking "Do I really have to still wait two weeks for a frigging pregnancy test??"

Good luck to you all and i hope that pee sticks will be waved triumphantly soon xxxx

Peyia · 18/01/2016 18:00

Will be floating by on the 25th to see updates Smile
