SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES - expecting more graduates in July!

[raddersmrs]

Rollover thread!

Cd13 2dpo?

Still have cramps and twinges so think my ovaries have gone into overdrive?
Overdone the vit D today I'm looking like a bar of galaxy!

Busta- 2nd cycle of clomid for me. It seems to have made me ovulate early. I have only one cycle left, so fingers crossed I won't need it.

I wouldn't worry about the dip in temp as it can be implantation dip or a fluctuation in hormones. You still have a chance

Pepper- I'd continue to dtd for another day or so to cover yourself. A positive opk doesn't mean u have ovulated but means it's pending. Well done for warming up the swimmers though, you have a good chance.

Thinking of everyone else hope you are having a good weekend.

Hello everybody,

Sorry for kind of jumping ship on this thread a bit. Plan was to have a month off, not from DTD, but from tracking, recording, watching, obsessing. I miss chatting to you all, but it's been a help distraction to not think about what cycle day I'm on, what symptoms are going on etc etc, as I find that it ends up snow balling into obsessing about every single stage of my cycle. I feel a bit lighter this month for not having that focus on my cycle. I've been checking in to see how everybody is getting on tho and am desperate to see more BFPs. Thinking of you all and your individual situations and wishing everyone lots of luck and baby dust xxx

*helpful distraction

Thanks for the tip footprints! Jealous of your tan. Hope this is your month. When are you looking at testing?

Aww tee hope your ok. Good for you for having a month off. It's only my second cycle and I can see how this becomes obsessive.

CD18 didn't manage to Dtd last night as sister stayed but hopefully today. Have the worst runny nose today and somehow managed to crook my neck yesterday. Pain on left side has gone completely. Does that mean the egg has been released - I really hope we caught it

Hey ladies,
Sorry, I've too been Mia! Also wanted time away and to not think about it. Hope everyone else is doing well :-)

Cd14 3dpo?

Pepper- I'm testing on 2nd Aug. As with the pains, I have no idea as I've been getting pains before, during and after! And it seems to change each cycle which isn't very helpful. Hopefully you and me both have caught the egg!

Tee- aww sorry hon, hope you're ok. Totally understand as the distraction away must help you forget about days etc. I tried to forget but only lasted a day or so. I think I'm obsessed too.

Summer- hi, so nice to hear from you. Again; hope the distraction away helps and glad you are ok.

Having terrible cramps today and an underneath tightening lower ache when I walk. So no idea what's going on. Will see how I feel tomorrow if not I might have to call my gp as I'm really uncomfortable.

Hi girls I've just re downloaded the app for a quick check in to see how you all are. It's been good for me to have a break - I haven't thought about ttc much at all for a week and forgot what cycle day I was and everything. Left room in my broody addled brain for other life to happen.

But I am thinking of you all and hope you are all okay. It's lovely to come back and see you've thought of me too. Such a supportive little thread

Jodders I hope you are alright, your sickness sounds so awful I can't imagine going through that.

footprints and radders hope you are both having lovely holidays

nim sorry it hasn't happened this month for you, I hope you are okay.

tee big hugs love, I feel very much the same way. I feel lighter not thinking about it everyday.

mimi hope you got some answers from the gynae

Fx crossed and good luck for everyone else. I'll check back in a week or so after a good week of DTD ahead xxx

Hey everyone

Appreciate why those want a break from the app and obsessing etc hope it helps you this month.

Back from holiday now - just been for blood tests and came home to my scan letter - 10th August. Excited!

Footprints lots of luck this cycle for you. Not too much longer to wait.

Pepper good luck to you too

Thinking of everybody xx

Cd15 4 dpo?

Hi Jem,didn't recognise you at first with your new name. Glad u are ok. Good for you to take time out, think a lot of people have done the same.

Radders- glad your holiday was good and that you gave your scan date sorted. Exciting stuff! Are u still feeling a bit iffy? Or has nausea subsided?

Jodders- how u feeling now? X

I'm back from hols on Thursday so hopefully I can keep up this relaxed approach when I'm back. Even though I'm chilled, I still keep checking how you're all doing and can't help myself to check FF to see what day I'm on. Must be too obsessed!

Pains have eased off so can relax a bit but not sure what all that pressure was. I could symptom spot til the cows come home today as have so many!!! I have had cramps, gas, wet feeling down there.., tiredness and creamy cm today. But think way to early so think I'm imagining it all!
Not 100% sure when I ovulated so I'm guessing from the first 3 days of EWCM and pains!? Not too long to wait til 2aug I guess.

Hi all.

I'm taking a low key this month, I completely understand wanting to step back a bit Tee Jem and Summer. I'm in the run up to fw week. I'm trying to step back and enjoy it this month. I do get in the mood to dtd around the right time each month. I'm really going to try and not worry too much. I'm tired of worrying about it.

I've just come back from camping and I've got some sleep too catch up on and I've hurt my knee playing football.

Stay chilled footprints! Looking forward to scan pic Radders.

Any news Mimi? Hope you caught the egg pepper.

Morning all.
2nd August isn't too far way footprints fingers crossed!
Nim loving your approach this month. I need to try that if no luck this time I think.
Tee, Jem and summer hope you are all ok.
Radders exciting about your scan! Please show us a pic afterwards

Think I will test 10th August if no AF. I'm 3dpo now I think. Nothing to report really. I'm praying for symptoms next week so I have hope but who knows. Worried we didn't do enough BDing this month. Is it a good idea to bd in tww? Thank you

Cd165dpo?

Hi Nim, agree I like your approach. Glad you are well and your body seems to know the right time. I use to feel up for if around ovulation but think the clomid had masked it.
I seem to get more injuries than my boys playing football too!

Pepper think adv of dtd in 2ww is in case u haven't already ovulated and its late or it keeps the swimmers healthy. Personally I lose a bit of interest by then ;)

It's been an odd cycle this time as I've had a lot of cramps already. Backache, headache and a low mood (which I think is the clomid s/effects more than anything else). The first half of cycle I was relaxed and didn't think too much on days but the 2ww is right there in my mind everyday!! Feels like it's dragging. I'm out on sat for drinks so not sure I feel comfortable drinking at 9dpo without knowing. Might b too early to test to know. I might try a FRER on sat morning.

Mimi? Anything yet?

Hi all, hope you are ok. I am 7 weeks on Friday, sickness has well and truly kicked in. Morning and evening. Apart from that, tiredness and sore boobs I am doing ok!

How are you all? We must be due another bfp! Xx

Advice required please girls. Did an OPK yesterday out of mild curiosity (day 11 so early) and got a pretty strong line. Did a pregnancy test which was obviously negative

Did another today and nothing - very faint line. So now I'm wondering if that was it - positive on day 11. This would be totally bizarre for me. My cycles are like clockwork and I'm always day 15 or 16.

We DTD on day 10 and day 11 but now I'm worried we haven't done it enough. DH goes away today until Friday.

Should I be writing off cycle 8?

Jem I would dtd tonight and tomorrow just to cover all bases!

I can't ps he has gone to Ghana now until Friday. He gets back early so can DTD before I go into work..

Hi Jem

You dtd yesterday so the swimmers should be waiting around for the egg which has probably been released already. You don't have to do it day of ovulation ... The swimmers can live for a few days.
Don't worry! That's the main thing. Remain calm and positive please!

My sickness has stepped up big time ... I feel really sick all day and if I put my head over the loo I spew. I'm just trying to keep things in to be honest and so not even venturing to the toilet but it hits me big style at night and I have to go for it. I want it to stop!

Ps glad to hear all well. Have you got your booking in appointment soon?

Hope everyone else is ok xx

Sorry Radders and pepper that your suffering.

Jem, I usually have a few little peaks before the main one do if you can keep testing.

I think I have (TMI) another uti and bacterial vaginosis. My knee is better though. I'm drinking a glass of wine and feeling sorry for myself. Having a month off. I'll give out a go dtd at the right time but I'm not going to worry too much. When I get ewcm I'll pin down Dh and we will see what happens. I'm not testing either, unless I'm really really late.

Jem , I ovulated early again and I do think it can vary from month to month, usually by a few days. I'm sure you have covered it and you might not ovulate for a few more days yet so u will prob be ok. Try not to worry. I've had LH surge sometimes 4 days before.

PS. Glad u are ok, but sorry the sickness has kicked in now. I started morning sickness at 7 weeks with my boys.

Radders- sorry u too are feeling sick. Not something I'm looking forward to I must admit. Can u imagine if someone had a remedy that totally worked and took sick feeling away they'd be rich!

Cd176dpo?
Slight cramps today but not as bad as yesterday , aching legs and watery wet creamy cm. Headache again! Had headaches last cycle too at this time I think. Will need to check.

Feel like this week is going soooo slow

Sorry Nim, we posted same time. Oh no poor u. Those Uti's are horrible. Hope clears soon. Def recommend the preseed, if u haven't already got it. Read a review and was very helpful for UTI sufferers.

Feel better nim, I don't blame you I'm enjoying a glass of wine too. Relaxed approach sounds great.

You're right foot maybe it's just a bit early this month. I hope we are covered.

Yup just checked and yes I got headaches from 4dpo til 6dpo.
Wish I had a good symptom that spells BFP.

Hi all
Cd22 and 5dpo (I think)
Been having pinching and twinge pains in tummy and been absolutely shattered past couple of days, nearly fell asleep at work! Other than that nothing really going on. One app reckons AF due 10th and the other 7th. Not sure what's right but want to hold off testing as long as I can.
Hope your ok Nim - enjoy the wine!
Not long till you test footprints if I'm right. Good luck!
Fingers crossed for you two Jem. Like you I'm not sure we Dtd enough this month but we shall see.
Hope you feel better soon radders
