I emailed back and really just blurted out everything I feel and how much I hate him right now. He apologised and grovelled several more times. I'm going to the train station now to meet him. Luckily my brother in law is getting the train with us so I will have to be civil!

I really do think he has stuffed it. If egg came today we last DTD two days ago. The highest chance is day before and day of.

Eurgh I feel sick I am so angry and upset with him!

PurpleOwl86 · 02/09/2016 18:49

Jem, my lucky cycle we only dtd once, 5 days before ovulation, and it gave me my bfp! It takes a long time for the swimmers to go all the way up, I think dtd on ovulation day is asking them to swim for the olympics!
I hope you can relax this weekend and you guys make up!

I'm sorry I don't post a lot guys, I always read you and root for you, but can't always find the good things to say. But I'm here every day hoping for more and more bfps.

I am 7 weeks today. Had a scan on Wednesday, and saw the heartbeat, which was surreal. DH nearly cried (I've never ever seen him cry, but there were tears there!), I felt like they were playing some movie of someone else, I don't feel I'm pregnant and am still thinking it's not true. I do have two symptoms: sore boobs (did I say sore? I meant -do not look at them or I'll kill you-) and have been feeling exhausted all the time. I'm waiting for that moment when I realize it's really happening, maybe it'll come when I start telling people in real life.

Good luck everyone!

LondonJem · 02/09/2016 19:14

Purple Smile thanks for your nice words. Glad to hear everything is going well. It must be amazing seeing this little heartbeat inside you.

We are on the train. I have wine. It's civil, just Envy

Tee4me · 02/09/2016 19:28

Jem we're totally in it together this cycle... I noted my ovulation day as Tuesday this cycle, and we DTD Sunday morning, then he rejected attempts Sunday and Monday night Angry DTD Tuesday evening, but actually as Purple said, I have more hope for Sunday morning swimmers than the Tuesday's! Also went straight to the loo that Sunday morning, as was expecting the repeat performance that night. If I'd have known I would have held them in a bit longer as they were my best chance looking back!
Also take comfort that a lot of this is guess work. If you ovulated a bit earlier than you're thinking, your timings couldn't be more perfect! I think if you plotted them out on a graph like I did using Ovia, you'd feel more hopeful. I'll attach mine again here and you can see how many attempts were actually in the fertile window despite missing what I thought were the most important times. The rating 1-10 on the right shows fertility score. As you can see, I got my '10' on CD11 once had I plotted ov as CD13, so 2 days before!
Also, I meant to say before, I definitely get ovary twinges after I've had my ovulation temp spike (which only happens once egg is released) sometimes it lasts a few days.
Purple you've given me hope there too! 5 days, wow!!

Bet that was amazing hearing the heartbeat Purple, how sweet of your Mr to well up. Mine didn't even cry when DS was actually born!! Confused
Enjoy every second of this amazing experience, pregnancy is the best x

Jodders · 02/09/2016 20:03

Purple you really summed it up I don't always know what to say either but I am always thinking of you all and willing on the swimmers (like a sperm cheerleader!)

Bump is good! Getting bigger by the day. I'm 17 weeks now. Had to go to doctor this week as felt rank - 3 day headache apparently tension in my neck / back is to blame. Requires daily massages from my hubby.
I got to hear the little heartbeat though so I was pleased - 146bpm

5 weeks now until our gender reveal party! Cannot wait. GrinGrinGrin

ps2304 · 02/09/2016 20:51

I am 12 weeks today, have my scan on Wednesday, a little worried nothing will be there even though I have a massive bloated belly already!!
I have to survive another hen party unnoticed this weekend!! Hmm

LondonJem · 02/09/2016 20:56

That's so exciting jodders, any inkling? You have a dc already I think..?

physicskate · 02/09/2016 22:14

Aw you guys!!! So sweet of you to keep up with the lot of us!!! There is never a 'wrong' thing to say or pet. I LOVE to hear the updates and what I hope to be up to soon...

Ov probably on 7th or 8th and pretty chilled... For now...

Jem hope you're feeling ok. I know I'd be pissed at him still. Sorry you're having to go through this at such a delicate time.

Mr tee needs to shape up too!!! I hate to say, but in comparison, mr physics is amazing so far, but we are only cycle 5...

Jodders · 02/09/2016 23:53

I do indeed have DC x2 Boys and would say another boy. Everyone else thinks girl though! I feel my scan is ages away still - I'm very impatient!

I think I'm still in shock at times that I'm going to have three...THREE kids. ShockShockShock

LondonJem · 03/09/2016 11:40

Three is a lovely number jodders I've always said I want three.

Well we had a bit of a difficult night. I couldn't sleep and felt very stressed and anxious. I woke him up at about 3am and said I'm so upset about this, and we had a conversation about it and kind of sorted things out. We DTD at about 4am, I'm counting that as Friday as that would make our dates better (positive OPK Wednesday, like ovulation Thursday or Friday).

So we shall see. We did it every day up until Thursday so I know I shouldn't be stressing this much. It's just taken over my life this year and I can't quite believe it's September and I still haven't had a bfp.

So into the TWW now! BrewBrewBrew

Footy1 · 03/09/2016 13:07

Lovely to hear from you purple, Jodders & PS glad things are going well. Is always nice to hear how you are all doing.
Hope radders /parney ok too!
Looking forward to see your next scan pics ladies.

Jem- glad things looking better for you and Mr Jem! Hope is a lesson learned his end and it won't happen again. You might well be upduffed and not fancy it for the next 9 months Wink

Nothing really happening here.. Waiting for pills to work so AF will arrive. It should arrive in a couple of days time. Roll on next cycle.

Hope you all have a good weekend

Tee4me · 04/09/2016 08:47

Morning,
Always love to hear from the grads, you guys give us hope!
I can't believe where this year has gone. I would have been due in 2 months if my first pg this year lasted!
Currently nursing a stinking cold, hubby away for a stag, expecting him to take over with DS when he gets back this afternoon, but that could be wishful thinking!
Only positives are that I know catching a cold in 2ww can be a good sign. Not that I have any other signs! Due Weds x

radderss · 04/09/2016 09:37

Hi all, still keeping track on how your all getting on! Like the others just don't feel like can contribute as much.

We found out yesterday we are having a little boy so that was exciting

I'm just over 16 weeks and have been feeling rotten up until Thursday. Starting to feel a bit better.

Keep dtd ladies and trying to stay relaxed, your time will be here soon xxx

Tee4me · 04/09/2016 09:59

Oh wow Radders! Congratulations!! Sons are lots of fun Grin x

jodders · 04/09/2016 10:19

Oh radders that is amazing news! A little boy! Boys are great! I am patiently waiting for my 20 week scan to find out.
I wonder if you are on the same secret FB group as me. I'm on one for ladies die in January / February. There's about 200 of us and it's a very active friendly group.

LondonJem · 04/09/2016 11:15

Congrats on a boy radders Smile glad it's all going well.

radderss · 04/09/2016 18:05

No I'm not on any groups now. I literally just keep track of you guys so I know how you're all getting on! :)

We paid and had a private scan to find out a little earlier. 28th Sep is my 20 week scan. I just want February to be here now! Not wishing my life away though of course....

Tee hope DH has pulled his weight this afternoon! Xx

Tee4me · 04/09/2016 18:44

Ah thanks Radders, he came home from the stag a changed man. It's been a really difficult week as we've barely seen him since Monday. Plus there was still a bit of upset there from him letting me down around ovulation. I couldn't help but have a little cry when he was leaving (I hate to do that, as it looks so attention seeky, but he kept pushing me on if I was ok, and by then I was so fed up and emotional). I wanted to hold back until he'd gone, but actually I think it helped him realise where I was at. I've been promised a massage every evening this week (he must feel bad!), he's started clearing his diary so we can have more time together, said he's off booze for the foreseeable, and has been quizzing me about my next FW. Was texting me while on the stag saying how much he wants number 2 now. So, I'm a happier lady today Grin
Still got a rotten cold but on a positive no AF cramps yet. Looking back through our messages I was cramping this CD last month, although not until the evening. I think I might start to feel hopeful if no cramps by tomorrow evening... xx

Footy1 · 04/09/2016 19:53

Congrats radders on a boy!! Boys love their mummy's! :) lovely to hear from you. Glad you are feeling but better, you will bloom from now -exciting times ahead.

Tee- sounds good for you / fingers crossed xx

Had a chaotic weekend cycling so I'm looking forward to bed tonight. My new mattress comes tomorrow yay!! Stopped the norethisterone today so waiting for AF STILL!! Boring here, nothing exciting happening.

LondonJem · 04/09/2016 21:37

Tee really pleased to hear your oh is taking better care of you, long may this continue. Cold is definitely a good sign fingers crossed

Hope you're not waiting too much longer footy

Footy1 · 05/09/2016 16:43

Mattress arrived today! Yay. Hopefully it will get a good christening soon Wink

Footy1 · 05/09/2016 16:44

Tee any cramps?

physicskate · 05/09/2016 19:05

CD 16 not a lot happening here... yet! Neg opk and no more fertile cm (though it was watery a few days ago). Maybe taking 10 days of agnus castus was a bad idea???

First full day of teaching. I'm knackered.

Footy1 · 05/09/2016 20:41

Nothing much happening here either Kate. Still waiting for AFHmm. Boys first day back at school today and it felt great, although I felt quite lonely. Hope u ov soon.

Hope everyone else ok! Jem, what's happening for you? Any 2ww symptoms? X
