SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES! Over here! Let's go find those BFPS!

[MotherOfBeagles]

Hi ladies!

Sorry I didn't want to lose you all as at the in law weekend so thought I'd start a new one!

Roll over thread

Not sure if I ovulated this month..
But hey guess what I've just started spotting. So no idea? Glad something is happening!! But hoping was a BFP brewing.

So confusing Footy! AF on its way? Implantation? Let's hope the latter. What was your temp this morning?
Mine still low and opk still very much peak, so maybe my LH is taking longer to build. Glad in a way as only DTD Saturday. DH non-compliant yesterday (he seems to be randy all the time EXCEPT for when I'm bloody ovulating) He's also out late all week, so I just have to hope he's in a good mood with energy left when he gets home. Feeling nervous I won't be able to persuade him! Would be gutted to miss the egg after everything that's happened

I spotted early footy and had what I thought was a period and look at me. Fingers crossed for implantation!!!

Can I join in?

Age: 30
TTC no 2
Cycle 1
CD 12-ish (must keep better track)

Tee 36.54 today for me which seems on the high side for AF? Spotting very minimal but just went a wee and a slight blood flow. Had a few cramps on and off. If I count back on my chart 14-16 days there is a rise in temp between those so I do think it's AF. What is your temp today?
How naughty of mr tee I know how frustrated u must b. I think you should send him saucy messages whilst he's out and just have to lie awake hoping u can entice him even if he's in a drunkard state!

Jodders. But relieved in a way that my body is shedding without need of more pills. How are u doing Jodders?still feeling sick?

Welcome messez, are u using opks or temping? Good luck on your Journey of ttc for #2!

Welcome faire
Hi jod glad you are still around. How is the shopping going? is bump big?

foot fingers, ears,toes,everything crossed that the spotting is ib.we need a bfp from you hun . it would be really nice after the crazy cycle.

tee hope you can persuade oh tonight. I know what you mean about missing the egg. Waiting another month is a pain.

nim hope you enjoyed your day back at work and lots of cranberry juice and water for you hun.

I hadn't seen your post there foot . the waiting game is a nightmare but hope it's good news for you.

Am in my tww now and waiting for af on xmas eve. Lots of bailey for me if the witch shows.

How is the Christmas shopping going for everyone? Hope you are all in a good festive mood.

jem hope you are better.

Footy I was 36.0, been pretty consistent last 4 mornings since it crashed after MC. I know I often bitch about the agony of temping, but actually it is a pretty useful tool to have. Whist I do think my opks are signalling a genuine surge, they have stayed peak for longer than usual, so getting the temp spike will be real peace of mind. Think I might see it tomorrow morning. Looking back if I count from beginning of spotting as CD1, I would be CD13 now which is actually textbook ovulation for me, so we'll see.
You must be tearing your hair out wondering what's going on each month!! I reckon you'll go au'natural and fall immediately! I'm concentrating on healthy eating at the mo, even had spinach at lunch which is a bit of a leap for me!!
I really think me trying to get DH in the mood is turning him off! He thinks I'm only interested in getting a baby, so I'm reluctant to get back into sending saucy messages unless he initiates. Arrrgghhh how am I back to creeping around him again!! He wouldn't leave me alone last week when I couldn't act on it!!

Good luck in 2ww Mim! I guess the timing is good for you because at least you'll know where you stand! I'll probably be in limbo 2ww land over Christmas and possibly New Year! x

Wow you guys were busy! Far too many for me to catch up on you all! Lol so what I remember (sorry if I miss anyone)

Well done on managing to dtd when you weren't well mimi!

tee hope you get your temp rise tomorrow!

footy that's irritating that it still wasn't clear. How's the spotting now?

parney I'm a complete novice about pregnancy and not a clue about the plug but I hope you're doing well!

Hi to all the newbies!

I'm 8dpo but my temps were a bit of a mess due to this weekend. Didn't get to bed until 5am Sunday and slept in a really hot room as hotel window wouldn't open and our bedroom is usually chilly. And then temps were sky high when I took the them later that day which was also a lot later time to normal. But then had a drop below what has been normal today in a cold room with really disturbed sleep so wtf?! Lol. But my boobs are evils. Loads of creamy cm and really soft cervix, low dull ache and a few other symptoms. But I'm not sure if that's all in my head because I've had that since about 4dpo which was too early. AF due on Wednesday. So dunno not feeling confident.

Footy my fingers are crossed for you! From reading this thread, it seems as if you've had a tough time!

Thanks everyone.

Nothing really happening now! Just a few wipes of brown cm earlier today. So we shall see what tomorrow brings. Cervix is soft and high still.

Mimi, oh no what timing that will be, but at least if no BFP Christmas Eve you can drink yourself merrily into Christmas and new year.

Beagles sounds like u had a good time getting home at 5!! Oh my goodness id be a wreck! Symptoms sound good tho for u. Fingers crossed. X

Tee maybe the cold shoulder will work then. So tedious we have to play these games with them isn't it. Frustrating for you. Yes the temping I agree is a good fall back if else fails as u can see better where u are.
My opks seem constantly positive. After looking on google I might insist on getting more bloods done to test for pcos? They tested before and was fine but that's what it suggests if u get lots of LH surges.

Morning.. Woken up to a higher temp again 36.77!! What??
Tiny amount of Spotting this morning still but only when I went to the Loo. Surely can't be AF when my temp is going up? Hey but this is me the lady with the crazy cycles!!?

Woop woop foot. Can only be ib.fx

That's a good sign footy! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I've had second day of temp drop. Not below cover line yet but this is my normal pattern before AF. Have to be honest if it does turn up I'm going to be pretty gutted. I'd reasoned away the last few cycles due to mc and illness but this one I thought it would. But looking like not

Not going to test.. Given up testing! Can't justify it with an unpredictable cycle. Just going by the temps for a few days first and see if I start feeling any different. Nice to feel hopeful in a little bubble for a few days at least

Beagles, you are still not out keeping everything crossed for you.
Well my temp fell for 2 days but went back up, so u never know.

Thanks footy it's literally spot on to my normal pattern so I'm pretty sure it's coming. Ugh. But I'm only 6 cycles in so still not been long even though it feels like it

Footy the mystery continues!! Really hope it's good news for you, you really deserve it going by all your efforts especially in last few months with unpredictable cycles. I guess it's just watching and waiting!
Sorry Beagles, I always stop taking my temp week before AF because I just can't bare that decline. You're not out til you're out, but I sympathise with you recognising all the AF signals and fearing the worst.

My temp went up fractionally, but still pre-ov range I reckon and I've had my 4th day of peak opk, so I'm finally accepting it has to be picking up HCG or something else pregnancy/miscarriage related, not necessarily LH. Hpt still faint. So no idea when I will ovulate, looks like I might not get an advance warning if opks are staying high anyway, and will just have to wait for temp spike and hope we covered it. Probably good as DH not interested again last night!! Came home at a reasonable time, wasn't drunk, didn't have a headache or any other complaint, but was just like 'let's just go to sleep'. Starting to feel properly rejected now, and I really don't want to get into trying to persuade him too much. Ideally we would be DTD eod now I'm not sure when ov will be, but noway happening this week.

I know what you mean tee . it's a little disappointing when you don't get what you want. This month has been different for me . because last month l was taking a relaxed approach and hardly dtd, dh was starving and is practically begging lol . we are dtd 2-3 times the past few days (a new for dh)

beagles you are not out till the witch shows so fx.

foot it's been a while since I poas. At times it's a little less depressing not seeing the white test and just waiting on af. Here is hoping for some good news by the weekend.

Try not to get disheartened tee my dh got a bit like that for a while after my MC and after a couple of weeks we had a massive row. Turns out he'd been worried about me and it happening again and obviously was upset anyway. And being a bloke he'd been avoiding and being a knob instead of just saying something. Maybe your dh is just trying to find a way to cope himself? Also I didn't bother with OPKs that first month after a few days realising they were all over the place temps will be a much better indicator.

Ooh mimi go you! Perhaps there is something in the making them wait lol.

Trying to keep my chin up at work but really struggling. Had such strong "signs" this month but now worried it was just all in my head. Which was a scary thought, the idea of a hysterical pregnancy terrifies me. I've seen women in my family have them and it's awful.

It works for me if I go a few days without at the start of cycle mimi. Right now I'm off limits! As not sure what is happening.
Still no AF, just browny cm, had a bad headache today and mild cramps which is my usual AF symptom.

Tee I try pretend to be not interested when I want it. Works a bit, but I find its typical the day of ovulation usually he won't be. Opks are almost positive all the time for me too, so hoping you manage to catch a temp rise and catch the egg. It may be a bit delayed this cycle for you. I'm hoping it will be slightly delayed so u can pin your man down!

Hope AF doesn't get u beagles.

See what tomorrow brings for us all.

So puzzling you're still spotting?! Has AF ever started like that for you before? Sounds unusual to me which could be good?!
Thanks Beagles there could be something to that. He's never been in a rush for DC2, and the whole experience probably put him of a bit.
I've never heard of a hysterical pregnancy?!
Mim so glad you are having some quality time with DH! Are things better between you now?

It's so mentally draining second guessing what's happening isn't it? I really want to relax and just let nature run its course, but I just can't help trying to control every aspect of TTC. I know if I didn't do all the testing etc, the chances are we wouldn't DTD at the right time and it would seem such a waste. I can't believe how depressing this has all turned out to be, TTC should be a fun and exciting! Sorry for being a Debbie Downer!! Will muster up some positivity before my next post!!

Sending you big hugs tee.after what you have been through, you are so allowed to moan all you like hun.l get that you would not want a missed opportunity. Dh and I are back on good terms, thanks for asking. I think ttc just manages to bring the worst out of us and imagine we have been at it for more than a year and a half

foot l was just reading about someone on another thread who kept getting +opks , some spotting and actually thought she was out or ovulating late then she just got her bfp. Rooting for hun,can hardly wait for the bfp post.

Hope you are doing fine beagles and af has so far stayed away. Don't worry too much and keep positive dear fx

Hope all the other ladies are okay.

Dont worry about venting here tee its what were all here for. I totally understand what you mean though and the mood im in today i am starting to feel a little bit envious and irrationally angry about people who fall so quickly lol. I know its not their fault that im not im just feeling absolutely crappy today. It might well be that tee try and give him a bit of space and see how he gets on? Don't know what your dh is like but with mine if he gets like that for too long i just have to call him out on it otherwise he will never snap out of it.

footy it seems like youve had every possible cycle all in one, i really feel for you! how you feeling today?

hysterical pregnancy its the same as a phantom pregnancy this is a good description - www.webmd.com/baby/guide/false-pregnancy-pseudocyesis
My aunt and mum both had them, my mums wasnt as bad as she managed to snap back quick but my aunt completely broke apart when it turned out what it was. it terrifies me that our bodies can convince you of something that physically isnt there, especially something like this.
I showed my temp patterns to dh tonight as he was trying to positive think me out of my bad mood, that AF isnt here etc etc but even he cant deny what the temps say! ugh.

Sorry! i swear ill snap out of this.
