Rollover thread

Forgot to say - I continue cramping after ovulation too. Fx you are covered xx

Yep I've ovulated! I'm so mad with him!

Pathetic "H" !! Temp was 36.72 today .
He had to get up at 6, so no chance. Every month I get to ovulation day and he has some excuse! He doesn't even know when it is so it so it's not deliberate. But just so typical.

Arrrrrggghhhh why to they do this to us?! So sounds like you may have ovulated yesterday, or could have been early hours night before as you started to see a rise yesterday morning... when did you last DTD before that? Was it Tuesday evening? x

Are you still using Ovia?

No not using ovia - just an old FF version. Doesn't give me much info but allows to plot the graph.
I'll attach pic

Yes last dtd on tues

Definitely looks to me like you ovulated between Weds & Thurs, probably overnight Weds? You had a dip that morning which is classic of ovulation following very quickly?

Soooo, I plotted your DTD dates into Ovia. The graph I'll attach here shows your fertile window if you ovulated Wednesday. The hearts indicate when you DTD, the yellow is your fertility score, and green shaded area is overall fertile window.

And here is your data if you ovulated yesterday. Both graphs look pretty healthy to me! I think you can relax x

If you ovulated weds and DTD tues I would say you have a really strong chance foot xx

Thanks tee for doing that for me! really kind of you. Yes hoping I ovulated wed really. Just wanted to nail all the important days. I had the most pains on Wednesday so really hoping that was it. Yesterday mild cramps with sens nipples!

I'm so mad with him... He came back home briefly after the school run and squeezed my bum! I shrugged him off! No flippin chance he's getting anything today! I tell you, I so so so wish I fall this cycle and he can then beg me for it in 9 months time!

Footy I heartily empathise with every word. It was like the Cold War when we didn't do it last month. He feels very bad for it now.

Your dates are still good though. I totally get what you mean about wanting to nail it, but having sex right before ovulation is spot on.

Well nothing I can do now anyway. Men eh?! Useless!!
I feel this will b the longest 2ww now. Need a distraction. Think I'm more wound up as feel it's a waste of clomid if we can't manage to do every fertile date. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated as the months continue Jem. I'm trying my best to do everything right but cannot control the husbands "supply of goods"

Tee - any sign of ovulation for you?

Mimi- any news your end? Who's next to test?

I was livid for a few days footy let all the rage out and rant away!

You will feel better in a few days promise. There's no reason to believe it won't still happen this month.

Hi All,

Russ I'm sorry to hear about your mum, I haven't been talking to mine about ttc as I think she will think I'm daft as I have two already. Good luck with your scans and iui.

Foot, I know its awful feeling like you haven't given yourself the best chance but don't give up on the dtd after ovulation, there is some evidence that cycle round dtd improves the chances of conception as out bodies get used to the swimmers and so the immune system is less likely to kill them off! I think you have a really good chance if you dtd on Tuesday and ovulated Wednesday.

Hi Jem, hope AF isn't too awful. I'm fine, still in denial a bit. Stopped doing ic tests as the lines stayed really faint, but did my other clear blue which was much darker. Not going to do any more tests, well maybe one more IC in a couple of weeks if i get that far to see if it gets any darker.

I really hope the bean sticks, I am going to wait a couple of weeks before registering with the community midwives. I have slightly tender, more full feeling boobs but thats about it symptom wise. No really nausea (yet) and I am perpetually exhausted but no worse than usual so that's not new.

I am 4 weeks and 4 days ish and my edd is 22nd of May. EEK.

Kate, thats a really sneaky idea of getting your boss to apply for the job. Do you get a decent maternity package with the school you are at now?

Hey Busta, I have my fingers crossed for your BFP, my friend got her BFP on the day she was due to have her fertility bloods.

Waves to everyone else.

Today's opk footy, so looking on track for peak tomorrow, ovulate Sunday as per usual...
Reckon there's a few of us who will be giving our DHs a taste of their own medicine when we're finally upduffed! Mine is behaving so far, although this was the point he quit last cycle, so touch wood! Tonight, tomorrow and Sunday pleeeease husband! Couldn't ask for better days of the week Fri-Sun. DS is being shipped off to Nanny's for a sleepover tomorrow, it's a fool proof plan surely!!! Wish me luck!!!

That's a lovely due date Nimi, praying for a sticky one for you x

Good luck tee! Perfect timing, get on it!

AF nearly gone now nim and I'm feeling much better about things today, thanks. Glad to hear all going well with you! Lovely edd

All looking and sounding really good tee Keep Calm and Carry on DTD!!!

Hi All.

4 dpo cd 27. Not a lot happening here. Thinking sensitive bosoms are my new post ov symptom (maybe chem in July changed things? Maybe it was actually a chem).

No idea about my current package Nim - they don't let us have much info and I would hate to ask to give my game away!

Trying to get my timing right for my boss, but I think he's just to comfortable. He just makes me do quite a bit of what he should do!

So close Tee, hope DH behaves.

Nim- really hope all will be ok this time for you. Bet you can't wait for a scan X

Kate- not sure about maternity contacts all depends on your contract of employment. Hope you get you BFP this cycle so you don't need to think about new jobs.

Jem- glad you are feeling better in yourself. I really fancy a drink but trying to be disciplined. Still have cramps..? Must b the clomid. Avoiding the "H" but will probably give in as I'm too weak..

Well that might prove interesting! My 'contract' consists of a job offer letter and a job description. I've been here 4 years... Other people have had maternity leave, and I have asked one to pass on the info, but, well, we are all running around like chickens with our heads cut off all the time.

I think you have timed DTD perfectly Footy! It looks as though you ovulated on Wednesday so Tuesday was a great day!

Nim, May is a lovely due date! I can understand not wanting to get too relaxed but I'm sure it will be a sticky bean!

Good luck for catching the egg on Sunday Tee!

Good luck for this cycle Jem!

Kate hopefully the 2ww won't drag for you & you get a great result at the end!

I have just had a temp dip (11 DPO) so counting myself out now.

I'm going to take some time out from all this TTC. It's finally getting to me (as you can tell as I'm awake at 4.40am ) - I'm now approaching the 13th cycle...
I feel awful & very very down.

I'll pop back & am rooting for all BFPs from everyone but for now I just need time out

The best of luck to you all!

Busta I'm so sorry you feel so low. Ttc this long is heart wrenching and can really suck the joy out of life. I completely understand the need to take a break. Please come back when you feel ready, take care of yourself

14 weeks 5 days for me and just had another little bit of dark red spotting after going for a wee this morning. Rang the midwife at the hospital and she said if it's stopped and nothing more just leave it and take it easy.

I don't know why this is happening and it freaking me out a bit.
