Hey all!
Feeling better, still have occasional dizziness throughout the day, so not sure what's going on. 6 DPO & have cramping & a very very wet feeling down there - so Of course I've been on Dr. Google, which never gives you a conclusive answer, so is always a waste of time, but oh so addicting Blush

Reading your posts Kate all seems really positive! Hoping the painful boobs are worth something for you!!

So so so sorry for you Nim. It's awful to be lifted up like that & then feel so down the next day. Hope you're OK & wishing you luck!

Sorry it wasn't your cycle Tee. I completely agree with you about birth control though - never again! I know that's why I'm in this position. I was on the depo & they said when I came off - 2 years for fertility to return... I wish I had know before I got the shot Sad

My ETD is the 23rd for the list Jem. Also I'm totally glued to the Olympics! We are doing amazingly well! So proud Smile the gymnastics is my favourite. It's amazing what they can do. Don't think I've ever been that flexible lol

Footy regarding temps - my first month it went up slowly 36.17 on ov day. Then 36.27, then 36.46'c.
This month it was 36.16 on ov day, then 36.35, then 36.62'c.
Now it's jumping up & down & making a zigzag for the DPO.

How are you doing mimi?

Also, Nim & Tee where do you get 75mg aspirin? Is it prescription only?

I don't tell anyone my baby names either Jodders I just remember the Sex in the City & Friends episodes about friends who steal baby names (also mine are really unique, again they are heard of names just not used often!)

Nimisha · 16/08/2016 08:39

CD 1 back to square 1.

Good news it's lp was a bit longer at 12 days. I'm inclined to think it was a chemical which is a good sign! Just need the egg to implant properly.

After some research I'm going to start aspirin. Busta I bought some from Tesco (just on the shelf, not in the pharmacy bit) 75 mg per day.

Jem my test day is the 12th of Sept, ov day is after the bank holiday weekend so plenty of time for dtd! When are you testing?

Beautiful day today, I'm going out to a nearby village to play in the stream and eat ice cream, then we have friends visiting.

Physics any update? I've got my fingers crossed for you.

physicskate · 16/08/2016 09:00

Aw sorry Nimisha! It's good to have a plan. It helps us feel a bit in control of this madness.

I got another BFN on an ic. Going to use an FRER tomorrow at 11 dpo, but not holding my breath. Cycle definitely triphasic. Boobs hurt a lot less today, almost not at all, so kinda thinking it isn't my month. It's better that way, gives me time to adjust to the crushing disappointment.

Glad you are feeling a bit better Busta... hope it continues!

LondonJem · 16/08/2016 10:39

Glad you're feeling better busta, hope your symptoms keep up and we get more lovely bfps to add to the list.

So sorry it wasn't your month nim. I admire your positivity - I need to take a leaf here. I hope it's a sign your body is ready and that the next one sticks.

kate it's still early so still time. Know what you mean about tempering the expectation / managing disappointment.

I'm technically 2 days late now - but I ovulated late so not unexpected. Still don't really feel anything - a slightly funny tummy, absolutely mental dreams again - skinny dipping in a black lake and trod on an ancient lizard that I thought was a crocodile - really crazy vivid Confused

I did actually think about testing this morning but chickened out. I think I actually have a phobia of bfns now they are so traumatic.

ps2304 · 16/08/2016 12:03

Sorry Nim, good luck this cycle.

Sounds positive Jem!!

Tee4me · 16/08/2016 12:35

Jem how exciting!!! I hope it's your month!
Busta also got my aspirin from Tescos, 75mg in a yellow box.
Oh I didn't know it wasn't safe for under 12's Nim! I was sure that's why they called it baby/junior... Doh! So sorry you're back to square one. I'm feeling positive like you, feel like conception could be happening but failing to implant. That's why I feel optimistic about restarting aspirin and doing the acupuncture, want plenty of blood flow to the important parts!! We'll get there eventually.
Kate good luck over the next few days, it's such a nerve wracking time when you may have been too early to test and have conflicting signals.
I'm currently sunning myself on Bournemouth beach! Hoping that our little holiday away from all our building work and hubby away from a stressful job makes for perfect breeding ground for, well, breeding!! Grin

physicskate · 16/08/2016 14:51

So not feeling like it's my month anymore. Sore boobs now feeling almost fine, though they're still full. So thinking this is just a normal PMS sign for me now, which totally sucks. Gonna wait till 12 dpo I think for the FRER, which should be reasonably definitive.

Good luck all!

Tee4me · 16/08/2016 15:02

It's not over yet Kate, good luck!
Jem meant to say in earlier post, love your names... A very close friend of mine actually has an Amelie Rose. Ted or Teddy is very cool too x

LondonJem · 16/08/2016 15:34

Thanks tee I don't mind sharing as don't mind if someone else hates them or wants to use them. Bournemouth sounds bliss I hope it is the fertile breeding ground!

Feel very much similar to you kate just don't think it could actually happen. Fx for both of us.

How are you today footy?

Parney · 16/08/2016 16:46

Sounds good Jem, I really like your names too. They're beautiful and I don't know anybody with them. I'm a bit like you Jod in that I want something different. I've a few names that I like..Finding it especially tricky as I'm trying to name hypothetical, subsequent siblings and I really want them to go well together. We'll probably go for Clodagh for a girl and Liam for a boy as the other names I like have an Irish feel too. If I knew I was just having a boy and a girl I'd choose Rosa Elizabeth and Adam Christian but I don't like any suitable sibling names for these!! So many beautiful names have been ruined for me as I'd be thinking of past students Confused
Sorry Nim about AF, enjoy the prosecco while you're away. You too Tee.
Kate it's a good idea to leave the FRER for a while, hoping for a nice dark line for you!

LondonJem · 16/08/2016 19:30

Gorgeous names parney, I especially like Rosa.

Just had a moment in Waitrose, felt AF arrive and went quite pale and faint. Walked home with DH in my sunglasses so I could have a bit of a cry. Straight to the loo when I got back - to discover just a load of cm in my knickers Shock cried even more! I think DH finally gets what a roller coaster this is.

So I am going to test tomorrow morning. If AF hasn't come obviously. Keep your fingers crossed for me Confused

Tee4me · 16/08/2016 19:46

Oh Jem I have everything crossed for you lovely!! xx

Parney · 16/08/2016 19:52

Oh Jem, please let this be your BFP. I also wrote about a tmi wet AF like feeling here before BFP. Was so sure it had arrived a few times! Very good sign.

physicskate · 16/08/2016 20:03

Oh Jem!!! That is very stressful!! I have everything crossed for you - you so deserve to be happy!!!

Footy1 · 16/08/2016 20:27

Cd16Star

No ovulation still, however the cramps continued from last night into today and I got another positive on ic opk this afternoon so I think my body is trying again. Temp was at lowest point this morning. DH was far too tired apparently last night so bit worried we have had 3 days of nothing. Cheesed off with him! This cycle has turned out to be a nightmare! Forgotten to take pills, timings all wrong, temp freaky low, fancy a gin & tonic rather than healthy stuff every day. Run out of sticks to pee on! Feeling irritable Confused

Busta, glad u are feeling better. Thanks for your comparison of temps, is helpful. I get dizzy spells and had been doing for awhile. Turns out I'm anaemic and gave low blood pressure. The wet cm feeling is a good sign! Fingers crossed.

Oh Nim, really feel for you as you must feel really disappointed. The prize was snatched out of your hands Sad So unfair Flowers
Really glad to hear your positivity.

Kate, fingers crossed for when u test. Hope it's your time! I'm sure someone else had sore boobs on and off & got their bfp! Your temp chart sounds promising. I love the name Amelie too! Grin

Jem - getting excited for you that's a good sign. If u ovulated late I would count whatever your luteal phase is from there. Your dreams are crazy! Made me lol Grin. Wish my DH would get it, he just is tired all the time and very laid back about it. I don't get any sympathy or understanding! I might need to purchase some handcuffs! I'm ok thanks, had a busy few days with the kids and visiting friends in London today.

Tee happy holiday in Bournemouth. I have family in Ferndown and Poole which is close by there. Spent a lot of summer holidays there when I was younger. We went to beach yesterday on Sussex coast, was lovely.

Love all the baby names everyone! Love hearing them.

physicskate · 16/08/2016 21:03

Hm foot and jem - men are crap. I think they get it a bit sometimes and then forget... It was helpful when mine admitted he thought it was going to all be instantaneous.

Might have to give the baby aspirin a go next cycle...

Names: family names I kinda like: Alec, David and Mark, Camilla, Lillian, Willa, Czarina, and Louisa. Oh I guess girl names were kinda easy!!

Busta · 16/08/2016 22:09

Nim, sorry that it wasn't your month, hopefully next month tho - especially if it was a CP. But it sounds like you had a lovely day out! I feel like I'm losing all of the British Summer being stuck in work. Desperately need holiday time!

Don't count yourself out yet Kate, Jodders is proof that BFP may happen really late in the cycle!!

I agree it's hard to stay positive Jem. But I just have to keep saying 'this is my month' & make myself feel positive. Otherwise I'd just be a wreck after this long.
My fingers are also crossed for you too!

Footy, that does sound like a mean cycle. Hopefully it can get on the straight again rather than being so erratic. However you saying you had a low dip sounds great, I had a 2 day dip (lowest temps in chart) before my ov day!
Maybe ov day for you will be CD 17 or 18 meaning you have a couple of days to get him on board to DTD!

Thanks Tee & Nim I might look at picking some up. Aspirin is meant to be quite good for a lot of reasons so I'm hoping it can't hurt!

7 DPO Star want to POAS like mad. Last month I didn't even POAS, just waited until AF day to do it but sadly she came. This month it seems as though I want to waste money. I need help Blush I guess it's wanting to see that BFP so badly...

LondonJem · 17/08/2016 07:35

BFN. Guess I'm out Sad

Mimilicious013 · 17/08/2016 09:07

Best of luckbusta a few more days and you can poas.fx for a bfp. We are so due another.

Rooting for your bfp too kate.did you cave and test today? Fx

Mimilicious013 · 17/08/2016 09:13

Enjoy your holiday tee and proudly bring us back a bfp Wink.

Waves to jod ps parney radders purple.hope you are all doing fine.

This month has been a laid back one for me on the ttc front barely even dtd haha.anyways, now waiting for af so l can start on clomid.

LondonJem · 17/08/2016 10:03

Two IC tests mimi, both snowy white shudders

Tampons at the ready Sad can't believe will be going on to cycle 9

Nimisha · 17/08/2016 10:18

Sorry Jem. Hope you are not feeling too downhearted. Nice to hear from you Mimi. Was taking to my friend last night, she concieved her twins after dtd once! Physics any news?

Mimilicious013 · 17/08/2016 10:22

Oh jem .it is super annoying when you get a bfn if af is late. If you tested on ics, let's keep our fingers crossed it's just early.

I have chosen not to count the cycles anymore lol, l just don't get ttc.do you already have dc or this will be the first?

LondonJem · 17/08/2016 10:23

I feel really anxious and low nim hate how much this affects me.

Mimilicious013 · 17/08/2016 10:26

Thanks nim,how are you hun? Hope your day out yesterday was fun.
