Rollover thread

Oh God it's nerve wracking Jem! I can't remember, are you generally on-time?? Got a feeling AF usually arrives by the time it's supposed to for you? When will you test if nothing?!

Good luck Mimi! Cramps can be good too. No idea when you're due??

Well as for me, I used my last opk and it was less positive (test slightly fainter than control line)... so I've either missed the peak or my ovaries are stalling, hope it's not the latter Hopefully my temps will tell the rest of the story! Although my spike isn't always very pronounced. I did have positives, so maybe that uber peak test only happens if test timing is spot on! Will keep up DTD anyway so we're covered...

Sorry to hear that Foot - your attitude is really good though! I am still a bit gutted about my cp back in July... but you're right, nothing to be done!

Russ you must be so floored! Very exciting for you!

I'm glad things are moving along for you tee!

Cd 18. EWCM like crazy (was taking low does EPO this month just to get rid). Not a positive opk in sight, but cervix is getting high! So dtd tonight should be on the cards. Did cd 16 and 13, 11.

Not really feeling frantic with it yet cause if I get this job and want to take it... maternity would be pretty poor. Lesson sorted -ish. Need to get a filament bulb and a normal bulb tomorrow... not sure when I'll find the time!

Good luck with it Kate!
Great there's lots of ewcm! I never have much and it always seems to be most evident about 3-4 days before actual ovulation?! Anyone else find this??

Hello mimi

Hopefully your temps will confirm tee sounds you're well covered 👍🏼

AF does tend to be on time for me yes. So could be waking up to it tomorrow. We have a wedding Saturday so if no AF please please please then I'll test to see if I can drink.

Tee- how's your temp today? Yes I get loads of EWCM sometimes up to 4 days before. Even a few days after, but it varies month to month.I really believe this is the vital ingredient to get swimmers in right place. Did u get any preseed this time?
Since I've been at gym and running, I've noticed lots more. It must move it down or something.

Jem- how u this morning.. Anything?

Kate- I can never tell the difference with my cervix, not sure what I'm looking for tho! Hope u ovulate soon.

Mimi- oh no hope it's not AF cramps for u. Did u take the clomid this month?

Jem, anything????
Yup temp went up enough to think I ovulated Footy! It's been climbing since day 9 but all else considered I think yesterday seems about right after positive opks Monday & Tuesday. Coverline around 36.10 and this morning was 36.32. Luckily DH delivered again last night so that's x4 DTD leading up to and on OD. Guess should try again tonight to be doubley sure but I really think DH is getting politely fed up! I don't want to turn him off all this, so I think I'll approach it sensitively later. I'm just nervous because this is usually the point we've stopped in previous cycles. Despite generally ovulating early on, CD13 seems so early to stop trying!
Also got my transvaginal scan later and scared it's going to disrupt any potential conception. Probably being silly, but after all this time trying I feel like it's such a fragile process. Anyone who had this scan remember how far it goes in?!
Watched the Alex Jones documentary about fertility on catch- up yesterday. Worth a watch ladies if you didn't catch it! x

I didn't have an internal scan (but think it could have been because I had smear so nurse checked all was ok inside from looking. They only did on top of womb area with the jelly stuff. Had one few years back and from what I can remember it's the very opening of vagina (not as deep as a Tampox) about 2cm in that's it. It's not big (width) so it's not intrusive and uncomfortable like a smear or anything. Hardly felt it. Would in no way affect ovulation or baby etc..

Your coverline quite low then tee, I'm at the beginning of cycle and mine was 36.38 today, 36.41 yesterday. I'm monitoring closely this month. Weird thing for me is that I've stopped bleeding today!?!?! And have clear watery cm again. Not complaining.. But is weird.

Tee completely understand what you mean by fragile process. After trying for a long time you read into every tiny thing. I've had that scan before and it's only into your vagina - it's not all the way up to your cervix. I can't imagine it would interfere with conception as that happens up in your Fallopian tubes and then if your egg is fertilised it travels down to your uterus. Really good going on the DTD, hope your DH is in the mood tonight.

I'm all over the place girls. No AF and no signs of AF. No cramps or anything. My boobs are so so sensitive, like 2-3 times more sensitive than usual. I have this strange heartburn / indigestion sensation permanently in my chest and throat. It's not going off at all so I know I'm not imagining it.

I'm also so emotional! I'm trying not to cry now! I feel very hormonal.

But most of all I'm terrified about testing and getting another negative!

Forgot to add that I've hardly slept the last two nights and I've also got a sore throats...

To clarify haven't tested at all, not a few cycles now. Just so terrified of testing

Jem, when are due to test? Try to distract yourself! And maybe stay away from testing too early?! I know it's hard but maybe it's too soon right now.

I'm cd 30, 14 DPO today Russ

Do you think testing tomorrow morning would be waiting long enough?

Oh Jem! Test now 🙈

Oh my God Jem!! I don't want to be flippant about such a big deal or make throw away comments, but God this is sounding good!!
Test with FMU!! 15dpo will definitely be enough if you feel confident on your dates! Eeeekkk!

Scan done, didn't say too much too me but sounded like all looking good! Full report going to doctor.

Now waiting for my third blood test!
Footy that could be the CP affecting your AF? After my MC, I'd get a couple of days heavy, then at least a day of nothing, then back to spotting... here's hoping your body is still in pregnancy mode and you will fall easy this month!!

Oh Jem!! This could be it! Let's hope so. I too don't want to get your hopes up as I too felt excited last week but I'm sure I remember you being spot on with your AF dates before. Have u ever been late? Have you got a test for tomorrow? Think at 15dpo tomorrow it would give u a definite answer as it wouldn't be too early and it would show. Avoid IC's Jem. Bad experience with them..exciting stuff!!

Tee, glad scan went ok. You have timed the deeds well this cycle

Footy my cycle is always between 28-31 days so still time for it to come. I am feeling ...different though, I really will be surprised if AF comes.

Don't have any frer at home and don't want to use an ic... might have to out later and get some. So nervous!

How did you find the scan tee? What happens next do you discuss 'results'?

Oh Jem I'm so excited for you!!!! You so deserve a bfp!!!! Have you said anything to DH?? Remind me, had you continued with acupuncture this cycle?? Go out and buy a FRER!! I'll be checking my phone first thing in the morning to see how you get on
Scan was as OK as these things can be. Awkward and slightly uncomfortable. She was a trainee so seemed to take forever as she was being coached along all the way! Interested to hear my full results in a week or so.
DH has made it clear he's not interested tonight. Been laying the groundwork all day to say he's tired and just wants to sleep. Foul mood tonight so definitely no action on the cards. Booooooo!

It is a bit uncomfortable that one, well done getting through it tee
Don't worry too much about missing it tonight. You've done loads so a night off won't make much difference. Hopefully he will be keen again tomorrow.

Will nip out tomorrow morning to get a frer. I'll try and remember to keep my fmu in a cup..

Jem leave the cup out ready for FMU - I always forget in desperate rush for the Loo.
Got everything crossed for u!

DH back tomorrow.. Going to jump start the bedroom business shame it's not fw as he seems up for it (he said over the phone).

Don't worry tee, I think you are well covered esp after having the rise in temp.
I just watched that documentary u mentioned, was quite interesting. Can't believe how expensive the treatment is now. Def not an option for us. Going to pray every night for it to happen soon!

A lady at my school has just found out she is pregnant with triplets!! Oh my goodness, she was telling me only last week she has been trying for #2 for a year and was her first month on clomid (same dosage as me) eeek! Nervous now.. One would be nice, but 3 in one go?! Eeek that's crazy!!
