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

Hey Mimi happy belated birthday! :)
Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive.

Happy birthday tee!

Nim hope things progressing well.. anymore spotting? Xx

Kiki I hope you get to enjoy pregnancy with your mate, that's great you're able to be happy and not overcome with envy. I think my best mate will be trying soon so I'm kind of bracing for them conceiving.

Thanks mimi good to see you lovely

Happy birthday tee 😊💛

Ah footy you are really going through it at the moment, it just be so hard seeing your LO upset. I'm glad he loves you I hope he shows it more and treasures you in the way you deserve 💐

Day 14 here and darkening OPK will likely be positive tomorrow. We DTD yesterday morning and probably again tonight. DH on board and in the country - hurrah! So at least we can hopefully give it a good go this cycle 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Jam I know just how you feel. This whole ttc thing has been the final straw for me. Almost had a mental breakdown over the last couple of weeks. Trying not to want a baby, but it isn't working very well. I've been staying away from here to take my mind off things... but it hasn't worked very well. Not really sure what the solution is. I took anti-depressants for a couple days last week and they sent me totally loopy. They aren't for me.

Beagles stop murdering the kittens! I know I've been getting daggers since I said I was leaving at a time they won't be able to replace me and my school is too cheap to get in supply. Arseholes. Feel insanely guilty for moving jobs! Situation ridiculous!

I know I don't post very long replies on here, I get little chance to come on. But I do read all the posts and I am hoping those AFs stay away!

Does anyone else feel they get a bit obsessed with TTC? I haven't thought about it at all this month due to having a few extra horses to work, but last month I was terrible and I found it hard not to get worked up about things.

Beagles how are you feeling, have the pains settled down?

Durez I am beyond obsessed!

Thanks for the birthday wishes girls, and happy belated birthday to you Mim! Lovely to hear from you, I'm liking your relaxed approach not knowing where you are in your cycle, must feel a bit liberating!!
I was just working in the day then had a lovely meal with my (very) pregnant twin and our OHs.
Footy I think I'd feel very bitter in your situation, having to make his lunch like nothing's happened, and with no thanks! Having said that, I think you are doing the right thing to keep things stable for the boys. At least you can say you did everything you could, and hopefully DH will look back at this and realise what an incredible woman, wife and mother you are.
Jam glad you are in good terms with DH and nailing the dates so far! Keep it up, it's nice to be able to say after FW that you couldn't have given it a better shot!!
How are you feeling Beagles? Hope going back to work was ok! I've worried about endometriosis in the past because of the amount of cramps I seem to get throughout the month. Think my internal scan would have picked this up and mostly just the craziness and paranoia of ttc, try not to worry (or google) too much. But no harm mentioning to GP if you want to put your mind at rest.
Kate you certainly deserve a peaceful and relaxed 2017. You mustn't feel guilt! They should be feeling guilty making someone feel this low! It's not right! Hope the new job brings you more happiness, and a bfp will be the cherry on the top!
Kiki how are you cycle buddy?! Still crampy? I am! Feels like AF will show any minute. Not officially due on until Saturday (I usually have a 27 day cycle) BUT, I'm sure I ovulated 2 days late, so won't consider myself 'late' until Tuesday next week. I don't test early, will just wait out AF. I doubt I would test until next Friday. When are you expecting AF and when will you test?!
Yes DuRez, it's all I've thought about for 13 months! x

Beagles that should have said *most likely

Durez - absolutely obsessed! Should have taken out shares in pregnancy tests companies some months with the amount of tests I'm ashamed to admit I've done in the hope that one will turn out positive!! Thankfully bit calmer now but still think about it all the time.

Footy - you are such a strong woman and taking note of your words onwards and upwards we climb to that BFP xx

Happy belated birthday MIM!

Jam - FX sounds like you have your timings spot on! Oh outside I'm happy for them inside I still have a pang of jealousy and sadness!!

Hey tee - we are nearly there!! Not much longer to go! I am really impressed I don't think I have the will power to not test early. Last month my cycle was 33 days so AF should be due Monday. I will probably end up testing Friday just because that was the cycle day our BFP showed before then try and wait to see if AF arrives on Monday. But I know what I'm like! Yesterday felt like AF would arrive any moment but cramps have gone today and am full of cold so generally achy and tired. Trying not to get obsessed now tww is coming towards its end! FX for the both of us! (My sister in law is just having another round of IVF so would be lovely to see pregnancies all round!) xx

How is your twin doing tee? It's exciting you will have a new niece or nephew soon.

Fingers tightly crossed for you and kiki, I think we will be seeing more BFP

Got a blazing positive OPK last night and we DTD. Will do it again tonight and probably tomorrow. Might try and keep up regular-ish DTD in the TWW too.

She's doing great thanks Jam, he's gone very low so seems like he's getting ready to make his entrance! She has another scan tomorrow as they've had some concerns with his growth, just being extra cautious I think! That's awesome re. DTD! You've really nailed it!
Kiki it's not really will power on my part in all honesty. I just can't face BFNs, so I really only like to test when a BFP is the most likely outcome (several days late). I'd much rather have AF arrive and be CD1 of a new cycle.

Wow you guys have been busy!

You're so strong footy I really feel for you and like others have said you are doing more than enough and hopefully one day it'll click with him.

jam glad to hear you managed to dtd plenty. Keeping fingers crossed for you! How you feeling now?

Eek kiki keeping my fingers crossed! When do you reckon you'll end up testing? Also yes yes yes to taking out shares in clear blue lol.

Thanks for the advice tee. You are a strong lady waiting until next week! Hope you get your bfp

durez I can get a bit obsessed but started doing loads of things to help distract me.

physics you're place sounds a lot worse than mine but you know what it's like in education. Got to kill yourself for the job or else.

AF tapering off now so can start getting going with dtd. Taking EPO and got my preseed and diva cup ready for when we do. I am bit worried as doc has put me back on antibiotics 4th lot in 4 months. =\ but be daft not to take them because of ttc.

Happy Birthday Mimi and Tee! Tee I have never been able to wake until I was late to test but this time it was Bfn until I was officially late.

Feeling fine here, only symptom is (TMI ) slightly constipated but that was the same with previous pregnancies so I hope that's a good sign.

Jem, your dates look really good, fingers and toes crossed this is your month. And you kiki, are you next to test?

Gotta go well finish later.

I am trying not to get too hung up for a while, it's easier because I am so busy with work but still at this time of the month it's hard not to get anxious and then rather down when AF arrives.

My cycle is acting a little bizarre but just done a CB Digi and it's a negative. I have been lightly spotting for a few days then bright red bleeding for literally one wipe and now nothing again. Usually just start AF and it's pretty consistent. God knows!!! I'm cd22 I think which is about right for AF too.

I hope we will be seeing more BFP jam!

There is that with the bfn tee but I just can't help myself the not knowing for me is worse than a bfn. Trying to hold off!

Beagles - I use the cheapie dip tester ones you can get on Amazon because it's cheap for lots! I've only ever used CB to confirm a positive (and then we had to do 6 of them as my dh wouldn't believe it!). I will end up testing tomorrow as its the same cycle day we fell last time, been feeling really ropey but I have got a head cold! Then will try and wait for AF on Monday. Hope you get better soon - have they given you a different type of antibiotic?

Thanks for sharing nim it gives me hope that if I do get a bfn tomorrow there is still hope! Myself and tee are around the same time testing but I will inevitably test early.

Keep us posted durez and you are not alone I'm starting to obsess now it's getting near AF and already talking about trying again next month.

Durez I've had few odd AF on again off again along the way.

Beagles I used a moon cup this time (only once).

Footy and Kate hope your feeling OK.

Can't believe you're back on antibiotics again beagles are they looking into why you're not getting better?

Glad all going well nim

Did you test kiki? Fx! 🤞🏼

Well expected bfn this morning. Dh seems to think try again Sunday but we will see might just need to wait for AF on Monday and start again next month.

Sorry to hear that, I hate bfns it is early days though so plenty of time to still get a BFP this cycle

Day 16 here and I'm pretty sure I've ovulated. Got my +OPK Wednesday, had loads of EWCM and then almost constant O pain yesterday. Noticed this morning that my boobs were slightly sore. We have DTD daily since Tuesday so it's safe to say there are swimmers in place.

Will see if he fancies again tonight or tomorrow and will feel like we've done everything we can.

Still know that af will come in two weeks but what can we do but try?

Hope everyone doing well and happy Friday to you

Sorry for the bfn Kiki & Durez.
Strange cycle you have there durez if you bleed then stop then start? I spotted for a week on and off before my AF a couple of cycles back but not since.
Fingers crossed it will be a BFP in a couple of days.

Sorry to hear you are still poorly beagles. Are you run down or anything to effect your immune system?
Just finished season 3 of GOT, and I was a bit shocked by the brutality! It's good and addictive to watch but I was clutching the pillow so tight! It's a distraction for me to get engrossed into something so I'm not stressing about other things.

Nim glad you're ok. Have u got a midwife appt yet?

Question for you moon cuppers or soft cuppers - would you ever lose one?? I mean are they easy to get in and out? I'm worried I'll stick one in but lose it?
Interestingly been googling them and both have high success rate for ttc. Might give them a pop also for AF.

Things bit better today with H, we're talking, and almost dtd last night but just held each other close instead. Trying not to rush things.
I'm still very sad, and if I'm honest I have no motivation to do anything all day. I've lost confidence & feel lonely. He's taken a step forward by organising further help with himself so that's really good and I'm pleased. He's working on himself, but I'm just left to get on with life alone while he does this. I know I need to be patient, as "us" won't get better until he sorts himself out. I'm ok though, just feel down.

And how do u know which size to order??
Some say under 30yrs? Why?

Just a quick one before I do a catch up. I've never lost mine footy there isn't really far for it to go as it pretty much fills all the available space lol. They can be a bit tricky to get used to getting in and out first, so I practised when I didn't have AF as the pamphlet that came with it suggested. Also usually it's two sizes one for if not had given birth vaginally and one for if you have, not seen age ones. I use mine for ttc too (mainly because I hate the mess!) but if it helps hell yeah!

Right need to catch up with everything else now

Hi nim glad to hear you're doing well! Sorry about the silly tum though, there nothing you can eat or do to help? How did you get on with the mooncup?

durez that is a bit bizarre, is your AF normally a bit random? I hope it gets sorted soon, if you're really busy at work that can throw it off sometimes can't it.

kiki yeah I have them but also have a stock of cb ones in the cupboard that I can't resist buying when they go on offer lol. Sorry about the bfn but your dh is right you aren't out yet! Yeah they are different antibiotics this time, tbh they are making me feel worse and don't really want to take them.

jam the doc mentioned testing me for a type of diabetes that doesn't show up on the stabby finger test as that can make you prone to infection. So now I'm terrified. Well done to you for getting so much dtd in! Fingers crossed for you!

footy I've seen the first few series but got annoyed with how much they differed from the books and stamped my feet and now refuse to watch it. Glad your dh seems to be pulling himself together, I hope it helps! I understand how you feel it's not going to be an easy slog but you've been so strong, you'll get through it. Are you still using your journal?

So cd5 now and AF finished not sure when I'll ovulate as it's everything from cd12-20 in the past. But feeling really down this month as I'd written off sept-Jan of due to all the meds and stuff I'd been on. Now I'm back on it again. =\
