Rollover thread

Definitely still a good idea to get the swimmers warmed up footy! Me and DH always neglect DTD outside of FW and it is supposed to be important to keep 'active'!
Wow triplets, that's bonkers! There was a woman on '3 day Nanny' who'd been trying for ages, think tried IVF, fell with triplets, and after they were born fell immediately with 1 more, so had 4 under 2!
I have to say, I quite like the idea of twins. Under no illusion about how hard it is being a twin myself and hearing all the stories, but it's such a special thing!
Temp went back down to 36.22, but not going to take to much notice or worry too much. Yes my temps overall are so much lower than they used to be! My spike a few months ago would have been in the 36.7 range, that would seem off the scale now! Wonder why I've shifted so much
GOOD LUCK JEM!!!!! x

Tee, that's interesting as my temps were low last cycle also. I use to spike well above 36.70. But strangely my temps are around 36.38 /36.45 at the mo which I think is quite high for cd3? Have u had 3 higher temps to confirm ovulation? Maybe dtd tonight if u can just incase?

Good luck Jem! X

BFN on IC. Dipped three of them! Going to boots to get some frers.

No period and still no signs of it. Was awake from 5 with awful acid reflux / heartburn. Never had this before. Boobs still sore. What is going on

I hate ICs!! I think you're still looking good Jem!! Are you working today?? How will you concentrate?! x

Working from home tee thank god

Went to pee on FRER and saw blood. It's light but I'm pretty sure it's the start of AF and cycle 11.

What the hell is all this heartburn then?

Bit heartbroken but mostly cross with myself for getting my hopes up.

Oh Jem!!!
Did you not take the test then??
What's happening now?? x

No there was quite a bit of blood so didn't bother peeing on it!

More blood now, think I can safely say this is day one, Cycle 11. Terrible period pain too, just to add the boot in.

Am pretty sad about it. I had got really carried away! Thinking about how to tell our parents etc.

Oh dear, really trying hard to be strong but this is hard. On a positive note, I was so so happy for about 24 hours - it was a bit of a glimpse into how happy I will be when it does happen.

Just hope I'm not waiting too much longer.

Jem, I'm really sorry reading this!!! No words there to comfort you right now. But please think of all of us here supporting you!! Sending you big big hugs!!!

I'm a little bit heartbroken for you It's so hard not to get carried away when the signs are there, we've all been there. But I think it was Footy who said it'll probably end up happening the cycle you're anticipating AF any second. What a cruel coincidence that you would get heartburn the day AF was due and didn't turn up. No wonder your hopes were up. Really sorry, keep positive, new cycle, new chance for baby to be made. Think you said you've got the GP appointment to get the ball rolling on tests. That'll be a good distraction while the cycle passes. In a way I'm glad I've had a chance to do the basics (bloods & scan). Kind of general peace of mind for the future knowing it's been (hopefully) just bad luck holding us up and nothing major blocking ttc. At least you're working from home and weekend is nearly here. Get snuggled up under a duvet and indulge yourself a bit. Massive hugs to you x

Thanks guys. I was so happy yesterday I couldn't stop smiling. Bit of a glimpse as to what it will be like when it finally does happen.

Ah dear. Tough day today.

So sorry Jem, disappointed for you too. Gets harder as each disappointment hits.
It's such a cruel game that someone plays with us. Almost need to think AF is coming and it will happen for us all. Know exactly how u feel.. I was an excited bouncing bunny when I got that second line, and then it was replaced by a frown and sad face.
Have a glass of and an early night. Hopefully you will feel a bit better tomorrow.

Oh jem I'm so sorry Hun. Total pants. But when you time does come, I'm sure this will just feel like a. Bump in the road.

Had my interview. Pretty sure I got the job. More money, better hours... but would be sad to leave the people at my work... torn!!!

Well done kate sounds like you smashed it tough decision to leave people but you can stay in touch, and better money and hours will come in handy starting a family

Glass of wine in hand with our brand new wine glasses I treated myself to DH has been out to buy my favourite things for tea including some yummy cheese and sourdough.

Chin up and onto next cycle!

Thanks for all your support today

Clink clink Jem. I have a wine in hand (just having one). DH has come home a new man. Wants an early night () said he sorry for the way he's been. Wants to dtd more as he said work is taking over his fun time. All positive so far..

Well done Kate Sometimes a change is good. Might be the distraction u need to get u upduffed!

They were super flattering and made me realise how under appreciated I am from my bosses... my pupils, I will miss them a lot! Might try to convince some to come with!! Positive opk today. Not going to stop ttc... just going to have to save like mad! At least I'll get a pay rise!!

Good attitude Jem, hope you're feeling good and positive today. It's the one part of your cycle where you can really relax
Footy hope DH is continuing to be a good boy, you must be approaching FW? I'm wondering if my lower overall temps are down to the aspirin I'm on. Have read it can lower bbt.
Well done Kate! That's great news you did so well! A new focus will definitely help TTC!

CD15 3dpo (I think/hope!) over here.
We didn't DTD beyond CD12 so praying I ovulated then. All signs pointed to that. Just annoying as I wanted to keep going just in case. It's like a switch goes off with DH and he just loses all interest over night. We kept it up Sun-Weds. Couldn't be persuaded Thurs or Fri and I'm sick of being made to feel like I have to pester and creep around him. He knows all about FW now so why can't he ever initiate!
I think I get so irritable a couple of days after ovulation (can you tell?!) I've noticed it every month. Wonder if that's progesterone that does that?! Even DHs breathing was annoying me today, lol, how bad is that?!!

Found this really interesting:
hormonehoroscope.com/your-hormone-road-map-how-to-figure-out-where-you-are-in-your-cycle/

Totally buying an 'ovulation microscope' if no joy this cycle!!

Cd1.terrible cramps and terrible mood. I'm exhausted! !!

tee thanks, that's quite informative. Will give it a try this month and it will be the last ttc otherwise I will drive myself insane. As soon as af comes again, l am back on the pill!!

Well done there kate .hope the good vibes rubs onto mother nature and you get that bfp too

Hope you are feeling better jem and you enjoyed your wino in the new glasses .good luck this cycle and here is praying this is it for all of us.

How are you foot ?hope you are feeling better too hun. Another mate on the ttc thread has a ds who is already turning 6 months and here l am still trying. Could it be the agel wonder lol.

russ is the good news sinking in?

Sorry Mimi, it's so hard and a bit soul destroying. Totally understand you feeling the need to move on with life and put TTC to the back of the queue, but forgive me, why go back on the pill?

Oh Mimi, I'm so sorry! Try to find something else to do (I totally understand how condescending that sounds, but it's helping me!). A new job?? A new project?? I get quiting ttc. I'm tempted to put it on hold for the next two/ three months until I actually start job, but I've realised my chances are so slim each month.

I'm really really excited about my new job!! Can't wait to start. Bit worried about falling pregnant between now and then, and I'm half hoping it doesn't happen! I would hate to have that convo a few weeks into starting!!!

I ovulated within the last 24 hours I think, so 1 dpo cd 22. That should give me about a 35 day cycle... So it looks like the last three or four months I've ov'ed within cd19-23... which is a bit more consistent at least?? Maybe the last two months of agnus castus until cd 16 are helping??

Glad you are so excited kate wishing you all the best. The fact that your head is half in it, l see your chances are better.

tee if I don't go back on the pill, l will continuously obsess about trying. Even the times when I am taking the relaxed approach, l find myself still symptom spotting because at the back of my head l know there is a chance. I'm exhausted my friend and I could do with a break ((but l will give it one last try)) the whole nine yards lol!!

Morning all, cd5 here. Day 4 clomid.
Since starting the clomid I've had mega twinges in ovaries. Think it's going to be an early ovulation. Nipples are like bullets and breasts feel like they have been injected with implants. (Ov signs for me). DH being good so far -nailed fri, sat & sun. Hoping he can keep going too tee. Sounds so much like my DH where he just switches off and had enough. Going to let him rest tonight and then try every other day. Think if the dh's would initiate it more then we won't be getting the hump. I've started to let things go already just to keep up the deeds, so annoying! Just can't wait to get pregnant so I can let rip
Temp took a dive yesterday to 36.11, then was 36.44 today?! Which could have been ov, but it might just b clomid. Will keep up the temping to get a pattern. Opk was dark also but when taking clomid it causes high LH so could be that. Mine field of what if's!!

So sorry mimidon't think u need to go back on pill as could delay u up to another year! I too think age not on my side. I know what u mean by obsessing as its all I think about. Even when I buy new clothes I think "oooh that'll b nice when pregnant" or better not get that fitted dress as I won't fit into that soon". It's crazy! Really hope this cycle it will work xx

Sorry thought I'd posted that last message this morning!
