Good luck in the TWW everyone, hopefully you will be more relaxed than me

CD21 for me and no news other than feel completely like I'm on my period, minus the bleeding. Also I keep having to relax my stomach as it's always tensed?! This could be my nerves though.

Morning all.

Tee / radders have you felt ovulation at all? I've had nada. Got my peak yesterday so assuming egg will cruise by sometime today? Or overnight last night maybe?

Plenty of sperm up there so it's fingers crossed time. Going to DTD again tonight to make sure we're covered.

It's all a day earlier this month for me, which is quite nice. My mood seems back to normal too thank god

Ps try not to symptom spot too much. I've had all sorts of pains and cramps etc but realised it was me being anxious more than anything.

The month I did fall pregnant I had nothing (had chemical)

Easier said than done I know xx

Jem I had worse ovulation pains on Wednesday but only had temp rise this morning so not sure if the pains indicate the ovulation then or if I ovulated yesterday

It's such a guessing game isn't it! I don't think I've felt anything significant pain wise. A general dull ache last couple of days, but nothing 'pinching' or sharp. The only worrying thing is that I don't seem to get much ewcm. There was only one occasion yesterday where there was a noticeable amount, but think it was mixed up with DH's swimmers
I think it's common to happen overnight, which is another reason I'm assuming early hours for me. Defo DTD tonight as egg should survive 24 hours...
I'm bracing myself for a post ov mood slump! Remember we all got down in the dumps at this point last cycle?! Then I read that it's very common due to the hormonal switch. I've been feeling good last couple of weeks, so crazy lady is probably ready to make an appearance!! x

Morning ladies

Good luck radders, jem and tee on the tww. Time to munch on them pineapples.

Ps, hope you get lucky this cycle.
Jod hope you are ok

Physic, how are you feeling now?
Good luck at the doc purple.
Summer a few more days in counting. Fx
How is our baby parney?

Jod, I was just thinking of you. You were so excited about adding a new member to the family. From experience, it's not easy raising many kids but it has it's rewards too. Each child is unique and special and precious and they can only come with their gifts. Hope your new decision makes you happy. We are here for you if you change your mind.

MIM we have very similar cycle dates. When are you testing?

Nimisha, were are you? Hope you are fine

Hahaha @ crazy lady tee Yes well remembered post ovulation crazy is about to descend. Might have to have a soothing glass of Friday evening vino to help later. Re EWCM do you take epo? That's made a noticeable improvement in mine

Cd 7 (just checked)

I'm due AF on 24th. We aren't using protection so technically still trying but I'm not tracking anything not using OPKs, temping or symptom spotting. I think the stressing over TTC was actually putting me off TTC and adding to my already stressful life! We are going on holidays soon but likely after ovulation. So that should take my mind off TWW too! My period is due while I'm away! It only lasted 3 days this month and wasn't heavy at all.
I think have sunstroke as I was sick last night and feel nauseous and shock horror couldn't drink my wine last night!
Sounds positive for all you tracking ovulation! Good luck in TWW! Footprints I'm delighted you are starting clomid soon! My friend got PG first month on it!
PS try not To stress so much - it's looking good for you. I have never had ovulation bleeding. My implantation bleeding was Brown and I felt like my period was coming.

I might have to take up EPO next month Jem if no success this cycle again. I didn't have loads last month either come to think of it. I'm on a bit of a 'girl swaying' diet, which I think dries things up a bit (as lots of EWCM favours boy swimmers.... apparently). But there does at least need to be some.
NB. Did anyone know that taking hayfever tablets can dry up EWCM? So might be best to avoid them around ovulation, unless you're really suffering of corse!
I'm a bit sick of the added complication of a girl away (avoiding DTD on OD too), so very tempted to jack it all in next month and let fate decide. I think I'm just hindering my chances too much by worrying about this extra element in TTC.
I've come out in another rash for the 2nd time in 3 months. It kind of looks a bit like psoriasis this time, but I'm wondering if it's down to the supplements I'm taking and TTC stress. Don't feel like my body can go on like this much longer.
Jodders I can totally get why you've relaxed on the TTC front, bet you'll fall instantly now! Wish I could try and forget about it and just let it all happen naturally.

Tee I just felt I wasn't enjoying it and I said as this is to be our last I want to enjoy "trying" I have actually never tried before. I appreciate that for so many tracking keeps them sane but it actually was driving me bonkers. My personality means I obsess so I have deleted the apps and I'm just doing it when I feel like it. It may take a while but I want to enjoy life and the kids that I have too. Let's see what happens now!

Oh and also you could try bee pollen for hay fever when TTC it's completely natural and you can still take during pregnancy and it's FULL of b-vitamins too. My 5 year old takes it too as I don't like to give him anti histimines

I definitely have a tendency for obsessing too, and I hate feeling like everything is on hold until it happens. In the meantime my DS is 6 months older and I feel like no one is getting the best of me because I'm focusing too much on TTC. I'm totally coasting at work, dying for the day I can start my maternity countdown. Really I just need to stop worrying and enjoy life for what it is now, and stop thinking that everything will be complete once I'm pg.

Hi guys,

So apparently I'm anemic. Hemoglobin is low, and they want to do more tests to check iron and b12 then see what can be done. Meanwhile keep trying (yay!), and keep losing weight. I didn't ask, but by the sound of it they won't do any tests for infertility unless I have a healthy BMI, even when I'll have been trying for more than a year. I've already gone from 28 to 27 so just keep moving.

Jodders, I believe things have a way of working themselves out, the best thing when it gets too much is just to take a step back and breathe. It'll get better!

Good luck to everyone going into their 2ww.

Jodders taking a step back makes sense. Hope you feel calmer - sounds like your holiday is coming at a good time.

Tee I feel like I shouldn't say this but personally I reckon gender is totally chance / Mother Nature! I didn't know that about hay fever tabs - will avoid!

Great news you can keep trying purple, hope they can help fix what's going on.

So I had another strong positive OPK today! Don't think I've had positives two days running. Hmmm. More DTD coming up!

I think you're most likely right Jem, I thought it was worth a go based on a few theories out there, but I was only expecting to move my chances by a few percent... but like everything else I got sucked in
Purple I've suffered with iron and b12 deficiencies in the past, being a vegetarian! Lots of dried apricots for iron and milk & eggs for b12 xx

To be fair tee it's easy for me to say over here trying for first baby. Trying for a second or a third and I'll be looking up these sway tactics most likely

CD12

Out camping, fun ? yes but romantic and ideal for ttc? no!

Got some ovulation pains, EWCM and nearly positive opk and there's no chance of dtd in a tent with 2 boys and DH. Suggested everything like going for a sneaky walk in woods, and even the back of the car but he's not having any of it.

Dtd last night though so hoping I've got some swimmers ready. Need to think of something for tomorrow.. In the tent or woods eek.

Will reply to your posts tomorrow tricky with DH next to me. Night all X lots of dtd dust

Cd16 1 DPO

Morning girls, how are you all doing?

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday - had strong cramps and pains on my left hand side. We have DTD on cd10, 13, 14 and 16. Is that enough? I feel like I've lost all perspective!

Cycle day 23

Still feel like I'm on my period although not had any bleeding since the little spotting 2 days ago. Got a busy weekend so hopefully the time will pass quicker!!

feeling uncomfortable to lie on my right side in bed and was wide awake at 5am! Now super tired.

Jem I would say you have Given yourself a good chance but I am very new to this so have no real clue!
