Hello, welcome and good luck f1ddlesticks

Oooohhh mimi that news got my hopes up. I read something today about extending luteal phase- something called cyclogest if I recall correctly. If you've been ttc for 7 cycles maybe you should ask your gp for something?
Fuzzy you're being very calm about it which is very good. I will be banging down the drs door in your situation.
Hi F1ddlesticks. Thank you for that info. I've read several stories about falling pregnant post copper coil and they are all conflicting. Even scientific studies!! So real life experiences are always better. I bought even more test sticks today and I've been symptom so much I think I'm now imagining the symptoms!! If af turns up I will start on high dose epo.

I think shizzles that I know I can't be pregnant and it is just my body messing around with me. 2016 is going to be my year for another baby though, so am just going to work on the basis I have a bug and a weird cycle - which is almost certainly true.

I know someone who gave birth around the same time as me who got pregnant within a fortnight of having her copper coil removed.

our bodies,Fuzzy pick the times we decide to pay attention to mess with our minds. I never monitored my periods previously but now with all these cramps i'm getting I keep wondering if the witch is coming. fx we all get our BFP's in 2016!

I've heard it can take anything from a few weeks to a few years to fall pregnant after the coil! To say I'm worried is an understatement.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 22:30

2016 will definitely be our year - as long as I can be pregnant (with a healthy baby) by this time next year, I will be happy. Otherwise I have decided my 2016 Christmas present will be IVF and that has made me a feel a lot more relaxed about things.

If only I had realised when I was younger and healthier that I would love being a mum and would want several children!

Fuzzy 2016 will be our year indeed so lets kick back, have a Brew and count down to jumping dh

Hello Gx91, with all the different stories re copper coil, I feel like I should have just stuck with condoms. I hate the bloody things only downside to that is permanent maternity leave i suppose

I have poas again this morning and more bfn. I shld be 11dpo today according to my days but i don't even know if thats correct Hmm. The worst bit is i have never before now bothered with knowing the exact length of my cycle so i have no way of knowing whether the info from Ovia and my days is accurate. All i know, going by cm, is that i had a lot of very slippery ewcm on the 19th and slightly thicker with a twinge of ?blood on the 20th. i did feel sharp pains on both sides on the 20th but I've been dtd every day since the 11th (af left 10th) but did not dtd 21,22 and 23 so if the egg came out on those days, did i catch it?

I think i'm going to need a few more cycles before i see a bfp but on the bright side, I get to hang out with you lovelies even more Wink

Kellz92 · 31/12/2015 08:40

Hope you're all well today ladies. I need some advice.

Last month on my monitor I went straight from low to peak then a few highs.

This month I have been getting highs since Monday but my other opus are getting fainter. But on Sunday my monitor said that there was an error with my test, and I was out of my testing window so couldn't do another. I've been getting ovulating pain all week and just feeling lots of symptoms so do you think Sunday could have been my peak. On Monday was when the pain started and started getting ewcm. Just don't know. I've never not ovulated before so dunno. Xxx

Shortybabe · 31/12/2015 08:47

BFP. Can't believe it. Cd36 and 14dpo I think. The line is fainter than control but 100% a line.
Kellz OPKs have driven me literally demented this month. I'd sworn to myself that if this wasn't the month then in jan id bin them and dtd eod from end of af to start of next.

Gx91 · 31/12/2015 09:20

Let's see the picture shorty !! congatulations !! GrinFlowers
Kellz , I would go with ur o pain and ewcm , you will know ur body better than the app does , must b so confusing X sounds like o day could b round the corner ! Good luck hope ur doing well Smilexx

Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 09:54

Yay shorty,congratulations ! Lucky you can now stop obsessing over ttc.pics please !!
Hie g ,hope u fine.how are u feeling now and any cravings dear.scan next week right ?
Kellz i don't use opks so would second g and trust your body.(even though mine is messed up).hope u hve continued dtd.fxfx

Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 10:01

Morning shizzles ,let's hope af stays away and bfn is coz u are testing early.fxfx
love your positive attitude fuzzy,hope it rubs onto me too.
How is everyone else ?

Kellz92 · 31/12/2015 11:30

I'm going for ovulating on Monday I think as I've had a bit of pain since! I don't really trust the cheapie a but had a few left. I only had two days of high last month after peak yet I've had 4 so far but that means nothing. Been temping and not really had a temp spike either so god knows xx

HoggleHoggle · 31/12/2015 11:51

Shorty that's brilliant! Congratulations. What a lovely start to the new year.

Kellz that sounds so confusing! It's the main reason I don't use opks at the moment, I did it for one month and got myself in a right tizz. I say go with your intuition.

G I'm not sure if I'm on the tww or not...if my cycle is 28 this month then I am, but if it's 35 days then it won't be the tww until next week. Still dtd eod atm just in case. Last AF was on 11th Dec so I'll be leaving it until mid Jan to test, at the earliest. Really hoping I don't have a repeat of last month.

shizzles · 31/12/2015 11:53

waahhaayyyy shorty! big big big congrats to you. post a pic post a pic!!

morning mimi, fxfx and you're right, I'm probably testing too early.

Kellz, just carry on dtd and leave the tech stuff alone for now. I tried all that temping for about a week and decided to just did as often as poss.

Gx, you upduffed? congrats congrats..

Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 12:38

Fingers crossed it's your month hoggle.nothing like last month dear.35 day cycle wld be so long hey.im on cd3 and really need a bfp coz am turning 35 on the 6th.time is no longer on my side

Shortybabe · 31/12/2015 12:38

Thank you everyone. It's honestly been a lifesaver having u guys here.

Hogglehoggle very good luck when tww comes. Mine defo came a week later.
Line is clear as now.

Anyone ttc baby #2 continued?
Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 12:46

Wow shorty,lovely big fat positive.now u are pregnant do u want a baby girl or boy?

FuzzyOwl · 31/12/2015 12:50

Shorty! Brilliant news and congratulations! Grin What a fabulous end to 2015 and start to 2016 for you.

I would guess around Monday Kellz but it is hard to say. Generally, in my experience, your ewcm only turns up if you do ovulate whereas OPKs can give false positives - sometimes our bodies gear up to ovulate and don't actually do so.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone. Grin

Shortybabe · 31/12/2015 13:33

Thanks again. Id like either really. I have a ds so be nice to have a friend for him but I would love to have a daughter too.
I had ewcm ++ a week before positive opk so unsure of dates. Will get cb digi in a few days.

Mimilicious013 · 31/12/2015 13:37

Thanks fuzzy.happy nye to u too and happy new year's eve to everyone !a toast to all the bfps we got this year on this thread and all bfps we are getting in the new year.to the wicked witch (af),stay lost behind in 2015!!

Shortybabe · 31/12/2015 14:02

Happy new year to you all. Yes here's to all the bfps and future bfps. AF you're not welcome in 2016. X

sniffysnifferson · 31/12/2015 15:06

Can i join?

TTc#2 for 15months awaiting referrel to gyne.
1 mc in July at 8weeks.
currently on Cd16

My cycles have been allover the place, but since mc I seem to be now ovulating and having regular 29-31 day cycles so there may be hope!

Just done a opk and I think it may given me my first hint of positive ovulation in a while so fingers crossed for 2016!

f1ddlesticks · 31/12/2015 18:47

Thanks everyone for the welcome - and happy new year to you all!

Congrats Shorty on the BFP, what a brilliant way to start 2016! You're right, AF is definitely not welcome this year. Fingers crossed for all of us.

Even though I know it's pretty much pointless I'm so tempted to POAS tomorrow. Will be 12 dpo, I think (haven't been very good at exact Ov dates so far, but DTD quite a bit at the right time Grin). Aaaargh, I'm fairly sure it'll be a bfn.

shizzles · 31/12/2015 19:25

there's no squinting at that lovely line shorty, congrats again.

Welcome sniffy i'm crossing everything for all of us for 2016

F1ddle we have similar dates if Ovia and my days are right. I'm meant to be 12dpo tomorrow. I want to wait till sunday to poas again but i shall be poas at the crack of dawn

happy new years eve everyone! here's some Wine to cheer in a 2016 full of BFP's
