SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES - expecting more graduates in July!

[raddersmrs]

Rollover thread!

Jodders- sorry for nightmare, I remember I had terrible sleeps when upduffed! Prob not help u feel sick that can make u feel delirious at times also.

CD1
So the witch arrived at 5am this morning at cd25,15dpo. Temp dropped to 36.25 today. Lots of positivity though as she arrived without any med which meant I did ovulate when I thought at cd10. I Have a good LP, and a shorter cycle So at least I'm prepared for next cycle if I'm ovulating this early!
Only 9 days to go when I look at it like that. But will need to warm up the swimmers earlier

Tee- how's things your end? Temp still up?
Mimi/Jem? We need another BFP.

Tee I had a BFN Wednesday, then BFP Saturday at 13/14dpo. Lovely to hear your sister got so lucky without even realising it! I can imagine all the feelings you must be experiencing though, I'm more than sure you'll join her soon!!!!
Lots of luck today Jem.
Footprints 9 days will fly by, make sure and release the swimmers between now and then 😉 glad to hear your cycles are playing ball!!
Jod, I'd really recommend the scan clinic. babyscan.ie, I went for the 'just a look' scan which was 2d and 3d, I got so many photographs. Appointment was bang in time and everyone was lovely. 100 euro, there are several clinics and I went for Swords. Sorry to hear about the nightmares, I'm the same! It's very common and they always feel so real!
My trousers are causing me serious pain 😖 time to invest in some stretchy gear. Any advice???

Footprints sorry AF has shown but really glad to hear all the positives and they sound great.

Parney - I already can't fit in my jeans - I've not put weight on was actually a pound lighter last night but I'm so bloated. Some of my jeans are too tight and dig in

I also have vivid dreams - not necessarily nightmares but I dream every night

I still have some spotting this morning so I'm going to go back doctors. Because we are going on holiday I want to get it checked out as don't want to still be spotting and not know what's going on when I'm away.

Jem how have you got on?

I have fluctuated between a gain of 2-6lb so far. I've been eating well as I could have done with weight loss before BFP. I know blood volume increases so even at my stage it's normal to gain ! The bloat disappears in trimester two Radders, I'm amazed at my bump! It seems huge, way bigger than my already big boobs! I'm glad it's taken shape as I had a padded, bloated look before. I won't be wearing normal jeans after today. Too uncomfortable! You're right to investigate the spotting, worth asking if it's anything to do with the empty sac. The reassurance will be great for holidays x

Bfn on frer I'm 10 DPO today

Did get my hopes up to see a second line, you'd think I would know better after 7 goes

Will give it a few days and try again but hope is fading.

Sorry AF got you footprints. Really positive on your cycle length though.

Fx for you still tee x

CD2511/12dpo

Footprints sorry about AF, but as you say, so many positives to take away and all bodes well for next cycle. I'm too scared to take my temp now, it would feel like a nail in the coffin, it was starting to wobble at the weekend. I can't bear the disappointment seconds after opening my eyes on the morning.
Sorry for BFN Jem, know how you feel about hope fading, it's so crushing to see the stark white test, although encouraging to read Parney also got BFN 10/11dpo... wonder what this week will hold for us. Your symptoms are very promising still!!
Parney I loved Gap maternity for growing bump, can't go wrong with ASOS either. I've already been checking out my potential maternity wardrobe! c

Good luck at the Doctors Radders, let us know what they say x

I have declared myself infertile!!! Clear bfn cd37 gutted. My head ,body and soul are tired of ttc

Oh Mimi, massive hugs. I don't blame you at all for feeling disheartened, so hard dealing with the repeat disappointment. It must be bad luck as you have babies that prove your fertility. The coin just keeps dropping on the wrong side, that's how I feel about it x

So sorry for the BFN's, really feel for you. Hugs xx

Sorry for all the BFN's! That's crazy. Thought one of us would have been lucky. See what happens for you ladies in next day or so.
Jem- are u still having symptoms? I felt mine disappeared after 9dpo so I kinda new I was out. Well looks like we might be all on the bottle tonight

I agree tee, disappointment not good first thing. As soon as I saw mine coming down slowly last two days I didn't want to get up.
You are still in with a chance.

Mimi- sorry hon, don't let it beat you. You have done it before. Do u usually have long cycles? Mine was doing that but now it's settling.

Just got my bloods in.

No hcg- obviously!
Progesterone - normal but on low side because they say u need to have it 7 days after ovulation - I ovulated early so was 3 days out but level was good.
Ovulation detected
So all in all - good news.

Cheered me up somewhat. Feels like I had a mot and I passed so if my engines working then I just need to fill up with some petrol (swimmers, vitamins and some relaxation) and start the ignition for next cycle. Brmm brmmm....
Let's hope it's that easy next cycle..

In the meantime I might pop open a bottle of wine tonight.

Hi. Please can I join:

Louise
33
Cycle 7
CD 25
12 DPO

Congratulations Radders, great news!

I'm convinced this is my month, but BFN's so far. Still too early I guess.

Good luck to all x x

Hi all, hoping everyone had a nice
weekend?

I got the start of a positive OPK yesterday & a blazing positive today - which is odd as normally I don't get a positive OPK until CD 16 & I'm only on CD 14!
I don't know if that'll effect my testing date as until I get my temperature dip I guess I don't know when exactly I ovulated so another waiting game now to see when I can test!!
Luckily did the conga CD 12 & 13 & aiming for tonight...

...But, serious question, can you over conga? I mean, can you make the sperm bad by not giving them time to redevelop or whatever they do? I don't want to over do it & ruin my chances, but don't want to feel like I haven't given my all

Ah, I didn't finish my essay, but pressed send!!! Sorry!

Meant to add:

summer, I hope you had a nice weekend with friends. I used to smoke, not heavily but still found it hard to break the habit. I missed the first fag of the day with a cuppa coffee - it was wonderful - but once I cut that out I felt like I didn't need the rest either. Now I don't miss it at all! Will you try a vapour thing? I hear they are quite good? Anyway, good luck!

Parney lovely to hear your baby is bouncing around - I bet he's making himself really comfortable in there

Tee keep positive!!! Are you sure when you ovulated? Because you may be testing way too early?

Footprints sorry the bwitch got you but glad your bloods look promising!

Jem & mimi you're not out until she shows. I've got everything crossed for you both!

Welcome Addicted

Busta i was worried about that as we dtd SO much this cycle! It worked for us though. We did it everyday for 6 days over fertile period and then every other day all between days 4 and 24. I think if the man is healthy he can reproduce plenty of sperm within 24hours.

Quick update then will read all your messages later
Got scan 9.30 on Wednesday.
Feeling apprehensive :(

She said with cramping and bleeding it could be early miscarriage. It might be something to do with the other sac though.
Feel like it's getting pinker though.

So all in all not great at mo but let's see what Wednesday brings. All might be ok

Hugs mimi absolutely what tee said about the flip of a coin. Are you going to speak to your GP?

footprints great news on your bloods - bodes well for next cycle.

Hi addicted your stats are v similar to mine! I'm 32, on day 25 of cycle 7 fx for you this week. Is this your first attempt for a baby?

busta I think you probably can overdo the conga, but it doesn't sound like you have. The smep plan says daily around ovulation so I think that's fine.

radders keeping absolutely everything crossed for you love. Can't imagine how you must be feeling but I'm sending all the positivity in the world

I've got lower backache, was feeling really quite nauseous after my breakfast, and have spells of dizziness. I haven't got sore boobs still which is weird. Moods are up and down but mostly I think that's down to whether or not I think I'm pregnant!

Keep positive radders!
I think it's most likely just the other sac.

I know you must feel worried & stressed & there's nothing really anyone can say to help but my advice is keep super super busy (think ironing knickers & socks!) until Wednesday, that might help keep your mind off negative thoughts.

I wish you all the best! My fingers are crossed that everything will be fine

Radders have everything crossed for you xx

Hugs radders, I'm sure it's most likely the other sac too. How are you feeling? Still got PG symptoms like nausea, peeing, breathlessness?

footprints that is great that you ovulated and I love your analogy about getting the engine fired up. My BFP came straight after hols so fingers crossed yours is the same.

Busta i think every other day is plenty around ovulation. Considering sperm lives inside for 5-7 days the tank should be full!

Welcome addicted.

Keep positive Jem it's still early days! Xx

Radders thinking of you! Do you have bad cramps? Really hope all is OK, I'm sure it is, what an emotional roller coaster this whole thing is!
Welcome addicted! What test have you been getting BFNs on?
Footprints get stuck into that love, you bloody deserve it.
Jem you testing again in the morning? Agree about mood being directly associated with hope/scepticism about pregnancy. I was in a foul mood yesterday, I mean just feeling completely enraged for no real reason. It's horrible. Positive symptoms continuing for you!
Busta I'm sure I ovulated because of the positive opks and temp shift, but I could have been a day or even 2 out on actual OD day, as my temp rose rather gradually. We didn't DTD beyond CD15 tho. Original estimated OD was CD13 and is usually CD14. Saw a peak opk CD12 though.
Jodders are you feeling any less sick?! I really hope so.
PS hope you're feeling good x

I'm spotting a bit. I'm feeling crampy too. I'm afraid now. I don't feel as sick today either.

Tee yes to the foul mood and rage! So glad this is not just me. I've been pretty breezy today as it turns out - managed to mentally block the stark white savage stick of doom from my memory.

Everything crossed for you rad and jodders, early pregnancy sounds incredibly nerve wracking xx
