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

Kate sorry things haven't improved at work but well done standing up for yourself and reducing the notice period. Hopefully you can really switch off once you have left there and start afresh in your new job.
My friend has had a terrible time in teaching also- feel for you.

Tee hope it's your month. Not opk'g or temping at the mo. Took clomid yesterday at cd2. Things up and down really, counselling tomorrow. Go from there.

Hope all goes well with house Kiki. Stressful time for you.

Sorry durez. Is there anything u can take to lengthen cycle a bit? Do u ovulate early?

Thanks tee I didn't know that! Learn something new every day. And you never know you might have got a sticky bean this cycle. Don't count yourself out yet still early days.

durez hope that AF doesn't come on full yet. Do you take anything for short cycles? I have short lps usually so been taking EPO which seems to be helping a bit.

kiki it's a nightmare you think the process would be easier. It's like they delight in making it difficult. Grr. When's your test date? You got stuff to keep you busy this week?

I hope the counselling goes well tomorrow footy

So 9dpo and on second day of low temps which is usually a sure sign that AF due now basically. Boobs are also starting to ease off, but they were so swollen this time I've got new stretch marks as if I needed any more. My LP is usually only 8-10 days max so expecting AF in the night. Not sure whether to put a cup in just to avoid a mess. But on the flip side my cervix is really soft which is odd =\

Hope it's not AF beagles 💐

Fx tee really hope you are back to BFP

Kiki if you want to test why not go for it. Try and wait until as close to af as you can though. Fx

I'm day 11 and got EWCM today. DH gets back tomorrow but I'm annoyed with him over his behaviour on this work trip. Hate being annoyed with him in fw will just have to suck it up

Oh dear Jam, what did he get up to?

I have always had a 21-23 day cycle, I ovulated CD13 when I became pregnant with my daughter.

I may look into options if nothing happens in the next few cycles, but as we are only on cycle 3 I feel I don't want to over complicate things too much yet.

Researching preseed and stumbled across this product! Check out the reviews! Will purchase next week if no joy again...

Tee - I think you are right with AF being later and good on you if you can hold off testing till then. I've made a compromise in my head to test Friday then see if AF appears before testing again just because my last BFP was cycle day 31 and you never know it might be the same again. Still very crampy and a little moody for good measure!!

Thanks footy - I'm more relaxed about the house then TTC it'll either happen or it won't! Good luck for the counselling x

Beagles - thank you test date should be Sunday but know I will cave early! Busy week with work as have C1 driving test for driving larger vehicles and a very busy weekend with friends and family to look forward to so good distractions! Fingers crossed the soft cervix is a good sign and AF stays away tonight x

Jam - doesn't sound good with your dh hope he didn't misbehave too badly.. perhaps he will make it up to you with some good DTD xx
I went with the theory last month of not stressing and just testing when I felt the urge and was like a woman possessed every day from about 6 Dpo I'm ashamed to admit!! Trying to hold off till at least Friday which is still early but only by 2-3 days.

Durez - that is a short cycle but on the plus side at least you don't have too long to wait until the next one.. xx

Tee - I've got conceive plus!! Sorry if tmi but clomid can make me a bit 'dry' which is unhelpful so thought this would be a good double whammy as such!! Just be aware it is quite runny and you dont need to use too much!

Kiki yup bit crampy and definitely moody over here too! When did you start on the conceive plus? I couldn't believe how many reviewers were saying it helped immediately, but I guess the people who didn't see instant results didn't bother leaving a review, so I guess you never get the full picture.
That's sounds interesting, what do you do for a job then?! Not long to wait until Friday!
Beagles did the witch visit in the night as you suspected? Hope not!
Good luck with the counselling today Footy, really hope it helps.

8dpo today. Just mega irritable still which really makes me think we weren't successful. Having said that, I don't remember feeling like this before AF or BFP in the past, so I guess I should consider it a neutral symptom. Continuing to try and eat really well. It's my birthday on Wednesday, so that'll be a nice distraction to get me through the backend of the 2ww!

Definitely too soon to say tee. HCG only starts after implantation and then a tiny amount at first. Everything up to then will be progesterone - whether it's going to be AF or BFP.

DH was on a work trip and went out drinking both nights - despite me asking him not to, and him saying he was going to not drink in January. I cannot believe what he says. He also went back to the captains room on Saturday night with a few colleagues - something he has never done before and he knows is totally unacceptable to me - and lied saying he had been in bed. I still can't believe he has been so deceitful. I let him know exactly how hurt angry and disgusted I was with him and he has been extremely apologetic. He said he's struggling with feeling depressed about our failure to conceive so perhaps this is why he is drinking and acting out of character.

Now it's fertile week and I've got to have sex with him, despite being so cross and hurt. I hate TTC

God you're so right, I never thought of it like that, my body won't know if it's preparing to AF or pg until after implantation. Thank you x

Urgh that's shitty. I really hate these situations. It's horrible to be put in the position where you have to spell out what's unacceptable behaviour, can't they just get it right themselves!?
TTC is so hard, especially when FW doesn't land at the right time. Really hope he puts in some good effort now to win you round. What are your opks saying?

Sorry to hear you are upset Jam, is so hard to act normal when you are hurt. I'm struggling big time with this.
I guess for u he would b expecting u to be mad with him so sometimes a reversal of what they expect to the unexpected makes the guilt reflect on them more and gets them wondering.
Blokes act differently with other men and the laddish drunken nights always stop them being considerate. I'm sure a weekend of boozing will be ok just get him drinking orange juice today and plenty of water.

Marking my spot and being nosey. It's been a while since i was here

Beagles how are u today? Hope af didn't show. Was your temp low again?

Tee have u stopped temping now? Do u feel any different?

Very nervous today as got the counselling tonight. Things are just "ok" at home, but not happy. I'm still bleeding so we can't even connect that way right now. He seemed quite smug this morning and being awkward about stuff so I think it's not going to go well later. But who knows? He may get a bump on the head today to wake him up to being nice.

Hope it's good news on the house Kiki. Yes clomid also makes me dry. Cough mixture with guaifenesin in is supposed to help too. It's got to b a high amount of it so think u need to swig the bottle few times a day. When I was on the clomid board I saw loads of people taking it. My boobs hurt today def the clomid. Feeling cramps already... so it must be doing something.

Hey Mimi, hope you are ok and still on here, you too Nim.

Hi whitwoo! Welcome. How long have u been ttc?

footy I know you really want it to work and will probably be bending over backwards to help you both but don't forget in counselling to say what's true and how you're feeling otherwise it wont work. Maybe take your journal? Even if you don't read from it it could be like a little talisman of strength for you?

Hi whitwoo!

tee I hope you get a lovely birthday bfp this year. Try and keep yourself busy I know it's difficult but it's the only way to cope. That stuff you've found looks interesting I'll have a look. I'm also totally with you why do they get to be pricks and we have to spell out what they did wrong? Really irritates me because it's a total double standard.

jam I'm really sorry your dh has been an idiot, it's so hurtful especially when you're in such a raw emotional state and relying on each other. Has he apologised or properly acknowledged how you're feeling?

Ah kiki glad you got lots to keep you busy! Good luck on your C1!

So I'm 10dpo test date is tomorrow but pretty sure from my temps a bfp is literally impossible. Third day in a row of within 0.1 of coverline which is standard for me before AF also got increase Sex drive which is a common symptom for me too lol. checked my diva cup early this morning and nothing but I'll check again in a bit. Wondering if this is all linked to me being unwell because I am sick again for the 5th month in a row and it seems to not be shifting so not only dealing with being unwell but also worried this is impacting ttc.

Hi all, bit of good news, been Bfn every time I tested, then when I started spotting the day before AF due I was sure I was out but it appears not. BFP yesterday on ic (very faint) and confirmed on clear blue early detection (definite line).

After my mmc I'm anxious but excited, really hoping for sticky bean (or two?)

Oh wow nim that's great news!!!
Really hope this is it for you :)) so pleased, glad you are still on here. Xx

Ahhh congrats nim!

Ah Nim I was really hoping this was the news you'd come back to us with! Massive congrats. I totally understand your anxiety. The early pregnancy unit told me they would scan me at 8 weeks with my next (fx) pregnancy because of the mmc. So it might be worth trying for an appointment so you don't have to wait until 12 weeks to have peace of mind!! Really chuffed for you. What are you doing on the aspirin front this time? x

Nim- how many cycles has it been since you mc? Don't think it was many was it?

Can understand you are worried but I've just got a feeling about this one is going to stick xx sept baby!

PS. How many cycles on are you from the mmc? They say you are more fertile for 3 months after? I have had a period since mine, so hoping everything has healed and working as it should! Due again weekend/early next week x

Snap Footy!! Haha!! I'm well jel, want a Sept bubba so bad!! 🤰🏼x

Thanks guys.

I'm cycle 3 since my mmc. The epu won't scan me early unless I have a bleed again. I'm going to pay for a private scan I think, but it's not cheap round here, about £100.

Fingers crossed for you tee. I'm not taking aspirin, I became unwell after Christmas, pretty sure I got a stomach ulcer from the combination of Christmas indulgence (alcohol) and aspirin so have stopped it.

I love a hot bath though and I'm going to avoid them which is going to be really hard. Even harder than avoiding alcohol. I've only drank once since Christmas day and that was only 2 glasses of bubbles. Even dry on nye.

Don't know if it's a coincidence but both times I got a BFP I had dtd loads in the tww. In fw only dtd o-3, o-1 and o day (though I suppose that's quite good).
