First time TTC - thread 6

[bassetmum]

Well thats another thread full of our comings and goings.

My details again
29
Cycle 6
Cd25

That's fine in my book. I was planning on having the odd sip here and there anyway, especially as it's out 1st wedding ani end of this month. No way I'm not having a teeny tiny glass of champagne on that day! But knowing I can have a beer with curry night is fantastic XD

So it's all gotten a bit weird in this corner. After a huge temp dip yesterday - no AF. Then temps back up a bit this morning (still below coverline though) and in addition I'm 13dpo and last month luteal phase was only 10 days (11 the month before...) so not sure what to think. Still got a load of cramps, am ravenous (standard) cervix is high and sort and I've a dribble of creamy cm. Is my body just fucking with me....?!

*soft

Ooh sounds good flora have you done a test? I don't think your luteal phase can vary by that much - only one day either side of normal length so could be something exciting!!

Noooo haven't tested yet! I'm too scared to! Will test tmrw unless she has shown up by then. Suffice to say though that I'm taking knicker watch to a new extreme

Well fx flora! loxy did you test again today? I'm testing tomorrow morning and already freaking out about it!

Ooo good luck testers! Hope to see some bfps tomorrow

Ooooh, flora that sounds really promising! You sound just like me atm, I've been hungry all week, feeling crampy and since AF has been absent today I keep checking my cervix and it feels weird, not quite ovulation soft but much softer than normally before AF.

kiwi I didn't test today as I missed FMU and DH isn't properly convinced by my very very faint lines so I'm hoping a stronger line tomorrow will do the trick. :D

FX for us all! haha

Oh my god this is too exciting you guys!!

I need pee on stick updates first thing please! Fx for you all

Come onnnnn BFP's!!! 🤞🏻🍾

Good luck to the testers!!!

Reporting live from my bed - I think we have a winner!

BFN for me :( AF due today but nothing yet..congrats loxy!

Congrats loxy
So sorry for the bfn kiwi but fx she stays away, when is/was she due?
flora?...

FF has now picked up ov as Thursday so 3dpo here. Not great timed DTD but still hope cycle 11 is 'the one'. Thankfully my holiday is booked at the end of this cycle as a pick me up if not. Getting my cd21 bloods done on Friday.

Yeeeeeeeeesssss loxy!! Congrats!! Remind me - was AF due today? Any symptoms?

Sorry for bfn kiwi 💐

Fx for you Eva - you never know!!

Due today eva.... Tiny part of me is hoping i just tested too early :(

Congrats loxy

Sorry for bfn kiwi
I am in the same boat, 10dpo (which I know is early) however I'm cd 26 which is my usual cycle length.

I tested with an ic and it's Snow White.

Usually pre menstrual cramps and mood etc. I have a lovely night shift to cheer myself up later. Oh well doctors on Monday afternoon fx they say something helpful.

Good luck to the other testers.

Thanks guys! I have no idea what to do with myself now! I thought this would take ages to happen.

Sorry kiwi about your bfn :(

pjs af was due yesterday, my cycles are usually 27 days, never been longer than that. Last week I had fatigue, dizziness, a couple of days of giant back acne (weird) and massive hunger. Last few days I've been able to feel a little crampy tugging in my tummy slightly to the left and my boobs are aching more. I've had all of those symptoms in various combos before af but never all in one go, lol.

Aw, sorry bliss just a case of wait and see I guess

blissful 10dpo is early to get a bfp on a frer nevermind an IC so I still have everything crossed for you

Congratulations loxy.

Sorry for the bfns bliss and kiwi. Your not out till she sings.

Im 5dpo today I think and I have been suffering with a horrendous headache since yesterday afternoon. I've also been suffering with the hiccups randomly plus sore boobs and cramping. Arghh SS to the max already.

Eva you never know. Fx for you.

Flora how are things with you?

AF was here to greet me this morning unfortunately. Had a bit of a cry 😭 but doing ok now, for now. Congratulations Loxy! And sorry to the other ladies with BFN.

Aw, sorry to hear that Flora :( Onwards to next month xxx

Ah sorry about AF Flora 💐💐 Sometimes a good cry really helps. On the plus side - could be a sign that your LP is getting longer?

Hang in there Bassett! Fx for you.

Sorry about bfn blissful - not out until the old hag sings though 🙂

Very productive day today - meals prepped for the week, laundry done, weekend paper has been read, PT session at the gym - am all set for an evening on the sofa with DH ☺️ AF due on Weds - luckily work will be hectic so will hopefully help keep Knicker Watch under control!

Thank you all for your kindness

Blissful I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get pregnant and carry to term at some point it's just seeming like it's all getting more complex!
Fx that it's just too early to see anything on that IC!

Flora so sorry AF arrived, well done for having a cry and picking yourself up again, think getting it all out can help avoid a few days of feeling gloomy.. I imagine referral to specialist eventually although I hold out v little hope as generally I am complex, bewildering and they are unable to fix any of my problems so far!

pj's think a childish strop is totally normal every once in a while, go with it and hope it leaves soon! FX for you, glad you have much distraction, makes it go so much faster!

eva stroke wise I'm already on anti-clotting injections twice a day and have been for over 2 and a half years now, they're at the dose they would give if I had a clot to dissolve it, so that gives me some protection. I have an autoimmune condition where my body attacks (among other things) the outer coating of my blood cells which makes them sticky. It's the same condition that gives me a much higher risk in pregnancy. I have a referral for further testing at specialist neuro hospital. After some further googling it appears 90% of those with "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" aren't ovulating so it may (hopefully) be as simple as something like clomid to get me ovulating. Limited hormone wise because of my increased risk of clots just to complicate things

basset good start to the symptom spotting fx for you

Bugger, knew I'd forget something, congrats Loxy about time we were due another BFP! oh wait, no wine for you, I'll drink to your success
