Hey footprints, glad you're enjoying the holiday. Cd1 here. And I'm not happy about it! But resigned to the fact. My little boy keeps asking when in going to have a baby in my tummy and I have been googling secondary infertility.

Mimi I hope the gynae appointment goes well.

ps2304 · 18/07/2016 19:42

Nim sorry AF got you.

ps2304 · 18/07/2016 20:16

I'm 5w3d today. Having a bit of a wobble tonight. My symptoms have gone off the last 24hours. Still sore boobs, gassy and tired but I just weirdly don't feel pregnant. I was also SO grumpy with my DH last night. I just feel so odd today. Really hope it's nothing bad, almost tearful just writing this...

I also had a nightmare the other night I started bleeding and woke up anxious it was a premonition!!

Busta · 18/07/2016 23:31

Tee, sorry to hear AF came Sad I understand how it feels to be totally deflated. I was once late 3 days, only to go the loo with my HPT & wham - there she was, not even a warning. I could have cried (I think I would have if I hadn't been at work!)

Sorry to hear the bitch AF got you too purple

Hi Russ, fingers crossed & good luck for your next cycle!

Hi Nim! Would like to say I also downloaded pokemon go & am loving it. Takes me back to my younger days & being a 90's kid with a gameboy Blush also sorry AF got you too.

Jem, sorry this TTC stuff has got you down. It's a horrible feeling to give something your all & get nothing back. But I hope everything works out for you & know we are all here when you want to talk FlowersBrewCake

Hope you're feeling better Jodders!!

mimi still no AF? If it's not a BFP, hopefully the gynae can't sort it for you!

Hope you feel better tomorrow PS after your wobble today. I'm sure your DH will understand, your hormones will be raging during pregnancy.

I'm OK, just in the 2ww with nothing to report. Still temping & looks like I did ovulate just not sure when!!

Busta · 18/07/2016 23:45

Sorry mimi that should say CAN sort it for you, not can't BlushBlush

Footprints1 · 19/07/2016 08:34

Sorry Nim, frustrating I know.Flowers hard when the little ones constantly ask about having more babies - my youngest who's 7 always asks. Feel like there's pressure especially bring on the older side of 39. Feels like I'm running out of time.

Hi busta- how far u in 2ww?

Mimi- anything today? If not hope gp visit goes well. Remember to over exaggerate your story to get along the line quicker. Naughty but otherwise they seem to see if it happens again or even 3 times which could be half a year. So maybe u could say it's been happening for a few cycles. Just want u to get it sorted for peace of mind really. I'm glad I did.

Jodders-has hospital helped in anyway? How are you?

Ps- I remember getting to that stage when sickness stopped I panicked. You'll be fine just some have less of a hard time in pregnancy than others all depends on hormone balance and genetics I think.

Tee & Jem hope you are ok. Hoping AF leaves you both soon.

Hi everyone else. X

So CD9Star for me here in Greece. EWCM last night and today with a slight ache in middle of tummy. Def felt both ovaries twinging this morning. No way to tell if I've ovulated whilst here, but think it might be later or tomorrow like last cycle. Can't remember if I usually get the ache bag ore, during or after? Anyone else get cramps before ?
So far dtd - 4,5,6,7 & 9 will dtd tonight too hopefully. Tell you what ladies, it's been easier this cycle with the preseed gel. DH doesn't know I have it but just before bed I go loo and just put a pea sized amount just on entrance of lady bits and it feels more comfortable dtd especially in early part of cycle. It feels like EWCM so they don't need to know. Read good reviews about it.

Forgotten my folic acid whilst away. So bit worried about that. However I do eat lots of spinach usually so hoping it'll b ok.

Footprints1 · 19/07/2016 08:36

**Should say not sure whether I get the aches before, during or after ?

ps2304 · 19/07/2016 10:29

Good luck footprints, love the sneaky preseed use!!

Here's hoping another of us gets lucky with a holiday BFP!

Sorry for my emotional post last night. Feeling much more emotionally balanced today, and sick!!

Mimilicious013 · 19/07/2016 12:05

Hello ladies. Seems like most of us are feeling rather low and tired of ttc. Sending massive hugs all round. Upwards and onwards my friends, until we all have our babies

Pepper2016 · 19/07/2016 20:59

Hi everyone
Sorry been but Mia. Hope everyone is ok.
Sorry hear about AF Jem :( I hope that is AF for you mim if no BFP.
Hope all the grads are doing well!
Fx for you footprints!
Update on me- cd13 have Dtd 6,9 and 11. Was hoping to today but DH is hot and tired Hmm started using OPKs so far darkest one was actually cd9 but glow says fertile week starts this Friday. We shall see

Busta · 20/07/2016 14:14

Hi footprints, apparently by FF calculations from temping I'm 8 DPO. Not testing until 28th - so far I have been super busy so not over thinking it, but after the weekend I think I'll be my own worst enemy! Hope you're having a great time in Greece, when is your ETD?

How are you getting on mimi, anything happened yet?

Hope this is a lucky cycle Pepper!

How is everyone else doing? Enjoying the heat?
I think the days are beautiful, but the nights are too hot! Plus I think I need a holiday or a pool - then all will be well Grin

radderss · 20/07/2016 15:49

Hey everybody - hope all is well with everyone in their different stages

Not much to report my side - enjoying the sun in Croatia. Sickness has eased quite a bit but still don't feel "quite right". Very bloated and looking chunky, not pregnant!
9 weeks on Friday so feeling good that 12 week scan will not be too far away. Still waiting for the letter to arrive at home to confirm date. Think the holiday came at exactly right time to help me relax in this early pregnancy part. I've definitely not felt anxious at all since being here.

Jod hope you are feeling better after being in hospital ..... Be good to hear from you for reassurance when you get chance

Jem hope you are feeling a bit better - I think taking a step back will be good for you. I know you said you're quite an anxious person anyway so I'm guessing this is making it worse for you. Lots of hugs and look forward to any updates

Tee hope you're ok and counting down the days to the next fertile window.

Busta - not long for you now until your test. Sending lots of luck your way - hope it's your lucky month.

Pepper jump on your DH! Make sure he's playing ball Smile

Mimi any AF yet? So strange how it's just skipped a cycle. Women's bodies are crazy things aren't they!

Footprints don't worry about the folic acid you can start again when you get back.

Nimi sorry AF got you. You're little boy is too cute but can imagine it's difficult too. Feeling positive for this cycle for you.

Parney hope you're ok

I tell you something I'm so glad I won't be heavily pregnant in the summer months! Least it'll be winter when I'm at my main stage

Lots of hugs to all xxxxx hope I've remembered everyone xx

Jodders · 20/07/2016 17:16

Hi all, sorry I haven't been in touch I'm really struggling. Still So sick and tired and the tablets just wipe me out. Just getting through the days as best I can. I have lost weight except for my huge belly! I cannot believe the bump I have already.
I'm 10+1 now.
Sorry for the non positive update (again) Hope everyone else is well. Xx

radderss · 20/07/2016 17:48

Jod are you out of hospital now?? Did they do anything for you?

Sorry to hear you're still not well xx

Nimisha · 20/07/2016 21:03

Hi all,

I think you're right Mimi, I'm down in the dumps this mouth. I've lost steam. I don't want to try anything else different this month, just relax a bit about it, of course I say that now but come fertile week things may be different. Already thinking maybe I'll try some preseed?

Quite a few cramps with this AF this month to.

Glad you're relaxing into the pregnancy thought Radders, hopefully you will have less and less sickness.

Oh Jod big hugs, are you out of hospital? It'll be worth it in the end but getting there is not always easy.

Enjoy your dtd pepper, I hope you get some despite the heat. Me and Dh have decamped to separate rooms so we can stretch out.

Busta are you next to test? Good luck, try not to symptom spot to much.

I'm off to bed early again, I'm exhausted. I need to work out how to be less tired or I'll never survive pregnancy!

radderss · 20/07/2016 21:44

Nim hope you feel better soon and get some motivation for the fertile week but managed to stay relaxed

I was sick tonight so think it's just so spontaneous. I never know when it's going to hit xx

ps2304 · 20/07/2016 22:15

Hi everyone,

Sorry you are still suffering Jodders. I am feeling sick morning and night but nothing compared to you!

I had this weird pain in right shoulder tonight. Similar to I have had when working out for too long. It took me by surprise as I haven't had it for years. I am now freaking out I am having an eptopic pregnancy. Please someone help me calm down! I am feeling so sick and weird and just can't seem to relax yet. My levels seemed to rise quickly on tests and also I have had my 3+, is it true eptopic pregnancies your levels stay lower? I just don't know how I'm going to survive 9 months of constant worrying! I am normally a pretty chiled person!!

Mimilicious013 · 21/07/2016 06:38

relax ps and enjoy your pregnancy hun.l know it's worrisome, but just take one day at a time. Do you have an early scan booked?

Sorry af has come with some cramps.had that last time and thought it was a sign everything was gearing up for a bfp (wishful thinking). Hope the month flies by and you will be poas again soon.

jod wishing all this pain away and you can finally enjoy your pregnancy.

Time is certainly flying radders. 9 wks already. Glad you are enjoying your holiday. Pregnancy is like another game too. Today you are feeling this, tomorrow you are feeling that,all in waiting to receive a beautiful gift.

Fingers crossed for you busta hope you give us our next bfp.

pepper did you manage to get an extra congaWink.fx you caught the egg

footprints how is the holiday?hope you ov already and are relaxing before poas time

I'm on cd47,total madness. Can't wait to see the doc .the af symptoms have vanished.. Eeish!!!

Hope everyone is feeling better now Flowers

Footprints1 · 21/07/2016 19:47

Hi, where is everyone today?

Mimi- all good here. If this cycle doesn't work I don't know what will. Most relaxed cycle this month so far and have done really well with the dtd!
No idea about ovulation this cycle, but I've had tummy cramps yesterday and day before and EWCM few days ago so think it's either happened or happening.

I'm tired tbh of the effort it takes each cycle but the holiday has given me more energy and va va voom in my engine! Grin
How are you? Any more cramps? Really does sound like my previous cycles I had with cramps and nothing else happening. Hope u get some answers. Or even better a BFP.

How's everyone else? Tee, summer, Jem? Not heard from u? Unless it's not downloading everyone's messages.
Busta- hope a BFP for u! Xx
Ps- try to enjoy your pregnancy, but totally get how u feel. It does get easier when you get your second scan and baby moves around.
Nim- I feel tired so early too, been trying to get the deed in before bed lately ;)

Busta · 22/07/2016 18:35

Glad you're enjoying your holiday radders & that it's taken away some anxiety for you!

Jodders I really hope you start feeling better soon, then you can just enjoy the pregnancy. Wishing you the best Smile

I'm not sure if I'm next to test Nim, AF due 28th July so fingers crossed she's doesn't come! I'll test on that date!
I have everything crossed that you'll get a BFP, I know how hard every cycle is. Wish it was just easy! Relaxing sounds like a good idea - maybe treat yourself to a massage Wink

How did you get on at the gynae mimi?

So you are in the 2ww too now footprints! When is your test date? Hoping the holiday has bagged you a BFP Grin
I know what you mean about giving it effort! Just want a BFP so I don't have to keep having scheduled DTD time lol.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Footprints1 · 22/07/2016 21:53

Cd12 Star1dpo?

Ov symptoms have gone so I'm guessing I ovulated yesterday. Going to test on 2nd Aug as I have a gynae appt to discuss the results that I already had and clomid, so I'd need to know before then. I'd be 12dpo by then.
Had significantly more cramps the last few days than normal and I couldn't pin point which ovary it was coming from whereas before I could tell.

Busta- any further symptoms?

Mimi- any news? X

Hope everyone else is good busy dtd or symptom spotting. Thinking of you all.

Pepper2016 · 22/07/2016 22:19

Evening all, wow it's been hot this week! Got a positive OPK this evening Smile so happy to get one! As wasn't sure I was ovulating since stopping pill. Cd 16 today and have Dtd 6,9,11,15,16 will try for tomorrow too but am really busy and have my sister and bf over in evening to stay Confused
My apps reckon period is due 10th Aug. Happy it's cooler tonight!
Hope everyone is ok

Busta · 23/07/2016 10:37

Footprints 2nd of August isn't far! Hopefully this will be it for you! Is this your first month of clomid?

Pepper brilliant that you got a positive OPK! Your dates are looking good too! Keeping my fingers crossed this is your lucky month as well Smile
I'm glad it's cooler to... Can't stand the hot nights! Another beautiful hot morning today where I am though - just glad it's the weekend. I've missed all the summer sun being at work in the week.

Well, I don't think I'll be the next BFP unfortunately. Temp dropped tonight by about .2'c - I'd like to put that down to having horribly hot humid nights when the temps were sky high & now a lower temp because last night was actually cool but I think that is just massively wishful thinking. Breasts are painful, especially around the top front area - probably progesterone Sad
Started getting a tender feeling in my uterus area this morning too - this happened last month 2 days before AF.

So I've called it that I'm out this month, even told DP. Ahhh well. On to cycle 11 Sad

Must be positive..............................

Pepper2016 · 23/07/2016 14:45

Sorry to hear that Busta* but let's hope you still in the running Smile

I Dtd day before positive OPK and day of, should we be try again today? Not sure if we get chance though.
