Exciting Summer!

Guys new thread up and running 'SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - expecting plenty of BFPs in June'.

Come on over!

[Summerblush1982]

Can you believe it's 8 days to test on Ovia! It's crazy! Only seems like yesterday I was telling you my test was a bfn!!

Footprints, is your cycle similar? Because I remember we were testing around similar times last month?

[Summerblush1982]

Looking good on the testing front! Thanks tee for collating. :-)

[Summerblush1982]

Sorry to hear physics. Don't let it get you down, plenty of good advice above.

Toast have you done another test?

Footprints, I hear you! Men are a real pain in the a*!

[Tee4me]

That's a shame about DH Footprints, you'll have to pounce when he walks through the door Friday! I've been raving about The Secret, glad you enjoyed it! Try Marcella if you have time. Broadchurch returning for a 3rd series end of the year

Hi ladies, hope you are all well. Been busy today so hot had chance to catch up properly.

My DH not back til fri now and my cm is getting watery so I'm now thinking I'm not going to have much chance to get the swimmers ready :( tbh he's cheesed me off too so feel like I don't want to either. We pretty much get on ok just typical this last week the stress levels rise and I don't want to b near him!

Mimi sorry to hear you are going through a bad patch. Once of dtd is better than none. U never know.. Hope things get better.

PS I get ov pains. For me they are AF style cramps but not a dull ache more a burning inside. Also few twinges generally only in one side. Weird! Only way I can describe it. I also get tingly boobs and nipples.

Summer- I'm jealous of your dtd! Lol

Whoever it was that mentioned the "secret" I watched the whole series in two evenings whilst at my dads! :) got me hooked! Was quite good, enjoyed it. So thanks whoever got me into it.

[Footprints1]

Yes Physic you might have to play the seductive temptress where he's at that point where you can pull him on top of you for the grand finale!
Lots of cranberry juice! A whole carton will help flush it out. I read somewhere in a forum of a lady who use to get it every ovulation time. Think if you dtd before when there's no cm it can irritate the lining inside which can cause cystitis. She used sperm friendly lube. Might be worth giving that a go?

[SuchaJem]

Good idea radders

[Tee4me]

I was going to suggest the same Radders, minimal irritation that way!

[raddersmrs]

Physics .... May sound weird but can't you get him to the point of ejaculation and then can he put it in?!
Just means there's no thrusting to make it any worse is there for you ...

I'm sure people think that's wrong but just a suggestion

[physicskate]

And now I've just had a positive opk...
Do we dtd while I have a UTI or not??? We did two nights ago (cd 15) and I might ov tomorrow or next day, so realistically we need at least one more if we are in with a shout...

Going to make an appointment with GP tomorrow but not sure I will get in to see them tomorrow. Symptoms have abated somewhat using those stupid awful sachets that make me want to throw up!!

Bearing all that in mind, af would be due around 14th of June, so that's my new test day!

summer that must have been exhausting!!! Well done - I'm sure there is a chance!

sucha makeup sex is the best kind!!

[Footprints1]

21st June testing- but subject to change X

[Tee4me]

What are your POAS dates Nimi, Footprints, Jodders and Purple? I'll start a new thread shortly as we are approaching our limit again! Good to have all our testing dates recorded at the beginning of the thread x

[Tee4me]

It's hard to keep up the momentum isn't it Jem! Hopefully you'll both be well up for a sexathon by Wednesday if there's no chance before then, should still be plenty of time to get swimmers ready & waiting.
Uh oh naughty cat!! Not the nicest thing to come home to Our old cat used to wee on our sofa, just for the fun of it xx

[ps2304]

Good luck this week everyone! Let's hope for some more BFPs. Who is next to test?

[SuchaJem]

Oh no physics what a pain hope you get it treated quickly and can get back on with fw.

Hi mimi sometimes one good DTD can do the trick.

Summer I don't always feel ovulation either. I think if it happens at night then might not wake you. Sounds like you've given it a really good shot.

Ps I've had that fluttering before around ovulation. God knows what it is! Sadly wasn't my month but fx for you it's a good sign.

Good work tee keep it up! TWW in sight.

Cd 11 here I think? No opks yet and we've DTD once. I think I'm losing enthusiasm.

Got back from in laws today to discover the cat had been locked in overnight and done a shit on the sofa. Poor thing must have been desperate - but couldn't he have chosen the hard floor or something?

Had a stupid argument with DH and he's now gone to work until Wednesday. This is annoying as I'm very much up for the DTD at the mo. Ovulation due Saturday so we should have plenty of time to line swimmers up me tubes

[Tee4me]

Morning all!
Toast awesome news! Congrats! Look forward to seeing more BFP pics.
Physics really sorry to hear you're suffering again! It's so typical isn't it. We had 2 rubbish months when DH and I took it in turns to be poorly, feels like such a waste. Hopefully you'll feel better before OD dawns!
Jem I feel the same, I just want to be able to tell people some good news.
Summer that sounds like a promising schedule of DTD! Well done!
Mimi hope things are better with DH, sorry you're going through a tough time
PS I'm not sure I'm good at identifying ov pains, usually go by opk and temp spike, as I can feel things going on for a few days, and can never really pinpoint the actual 'moment'. Never had that pulse thing you mentioned?! Sounds like a good sign, anything out of the norm is positive I'd say.

Not much going on my side. Haven't started opks yet, will only do a handful this cycle, maybe 1 later today and start temping tomorrow so I catch the spike. DTD last night and this morning and hoping DH stays frisky this week, expecting to ov Thursday! x

[ps2304]

When I lay on my back in bed I can see and feel a very strong pulse, the same pace as my heart to the left of my belly button. I have never noticed it as strong as this before, it's very visable! Would that be some sort of increased blood flow? I am only on CD17.
I'm going to drive myself mad 😂

[ps2304]

What do ovulation pains feel like? Just before husband and I were dtd on Friday night I had a sharp pain in my left ovary for about 5-10 seconds which then disappeared? We also dtd Saturday...
Stomach feeling very butterfly like and a bit pulsing. (I'm sure it's just me being excited about the unknown though rather than symptoms!)

[Mimilicious013]

I'm ok now, thanks hun. You are so right about the money bit 😂. I have since stopped poas and wait in vain for the witch to appear. The day she fails to show up, I will die of shock .

[Summerblush1982]

Hi mimi,
I'm on cd 20 today. I tested positive on opk on cd15. So far I've Dtd on cd 6,8,12,13,15,16, 18. I don't know when I ovulated though, as I didn't feel any sort of twinges or ov pains. AF due on 9th June. I don't know whether anything has worked and I haven't noticed anything different. I'm also trying not to symptom spot like I did last month but saying that there hasn't been anything odd to report. I wonder if I've caught the egg? For some reason this 2ww doesn't seem to be that long of a wait like it seemed last month! I suppose I could do a first response as early as sat/sun, but I don't want to keep throwing money at them either.

How have you been my love? Xx

[Mimilicious013]

Cd18

Thanks my friends . Things are getting better but my chances this cycle are not promising. Not much dtd and only did it once in fw.

Sorry physic, hope you get treated and feel better soon. Bfps usually like to appear when you least expect so fx.

Jem, hope you had a nice time at in-laws. Here is to a bfp and sharing it with them

Good luck radders, tee, and jem in the fertile week. Hope u catch the egg.

Summer, how is the tww? Hope you left no stones unturned

[physicskate]

CD 17

Ok so this will not be my bloody month. I am sure I am just about to be struck down by (another) case of cystitis!!! Second in two months, though my last infection was nearly two years before... I am so upset! I just don;t get it - I do all the right things!! TMI, but dh pulled out and his next words were telling me to go to the loo. Not terribly romantic, I know!

Going to ring GP tomorrow first thing, but this is ridiculous!!!!!

Hopefully all this stress will continue to delay ov and I can still catch it after I see the GP and this thing goes away!!

[SuchaJem]

Hi mimi hope things are better with your oh x

Physics that's odd, that you've got less, maybe it's on it's way? No hint of a darkening OPK yet either? Hopefully it's coming in the next day or so.

Radders I'm relieved to make a start!

Trying to feel hopeful about this cycle. We're at my in laws and had a few moments daydreaming about the day we can tell them we're having their first grandchild ...

[physicskate]

radders I was taking 1000mg in am and then either 500 or 1000 at night. CM much less so far this month than last. Which means either up the dose next month or leave it off... but with 30 capsules, if I took 3000mg per day that would only last 5 days! Not sure, but maybe this will turn out to be my month anyway!!
