First time TTC - thread 6

[bassetmum]

Well thats another thread full of our comings and goings.

My details again
29
Cycle 6
Cd25

Sorry for the BFN & cycle 12 Eva as for the SA results, they probably just want to go through them properly? Unless you're doing extensive research, the numbers probably don't mean much to most people! Also agree with flora, mistake on their part! Has he got a appointment?

Flora - always DTD hope your heating & got water are fixed today too!!

Hope you & your DH are ok too pyjamas

Yeah, hope so Kaydee. Just rang and cant get in before we go away so booked in for 27th March - gah, really wanted to know before hols but never mind.

Oh no eva. Hopefully its something as simple as the form was filled in wrong. I can understand why he got worried though.

Fx flora you get your heating sorted soon. I am a fan of cold showers when the weather is a wee bit warmer than it is at the moment. Good luck with dtd.

No af this morning so we will see.

Flora Hope you get your hot water and heating soon! im a whimp and would have to just not wash until its fixed i want my showers so hot I cant see it because the rooms soo steamy haha.

Eva FX its something routine but totally understand your frustration im the same if something needs to be done or discussed I rather its done straight away than have to wait.

Basset hope AF Stays away!

Heating is fixed!! So legs shall be shaved and dtd shall ensue. Took a CB digi OPK this morning and still negative so all is well too.

Hope AF stays away Basset - that would be awesome!

Well without being TMI yeah right i did a cm check and there is a pink tint to it and my cp was low, soft and a bit open. Think I am out. Guess we will find out shortly.

Yay flora got to love heating!!!

Crap sorry to hear that Basset. Hopefully just your cervix messing around or something and not AF. How many DPO are you?

15 i think flora. There was nothing when I went to the loo just now so who knows

That's a really decent LP anyway. I've still got my fingers crossed for you.

And I'm out. Cycle 8 here we go.

And I'm out. Cycle 8 here we go.

Bassett, so sorry

Sorry Basset

Thanks flora and kaydee. Its really upset me this month the rage I had this morning was unreal. The logical part of me is like you have no control of the process but the emotional side of it is just shot to pieces!! I don't know what else to try really.

Basset - I'm with you on the rage, every month when AF shows up I am angry and sad and just gutted. It's totally overwhelming.
Now on CD11 again and I am whole lot better and more positive again. The AF hormones are a bitch for making everything seem worse so you are allowed to have a day of feeling sad and helpless but all you can do is keep trying. It's not that you are doing anything wrong, just that the odds are so stacked against us every month - but we are all here - it does happen and it will happen for you.

Sorry Basset This whole process has definitely opened my eyes to how much harder it is to conceive than what i orignally thought. and as Flora Says it does happen and will happen for you and for all of us

Sorry Bassett, that's rubbish indeed.
I totally understand that feeling.

Have had a little spotting today already, only 10 or 11DPO. I have been having spotting for days in the lead up to AF each month which suggests progesterone levels dipping a bit early :(

Pie I was just reading through the thread, sorry you're having to contend with so much. Have fingers crossed for you and everyone else here.

So so sorry basset 💐 I remember cycle 8 being particularly shit ☹️ Make sure you take care of yourself and feel free to rage all you like.

Boo to spotting JeNe - hope AF stays away!

How frustrating Eva! It does sound like it's a mix up their end - fx that's what it is.

I'm doing ok over here on CD8 - started back up with EOD on Sunday, FW starts tomorrow. Me and DH are much better but I'm still feeling a bit blue about what happened. And trapped if I'm honest. Hopefully that feeling will wear off with time, but his behaviour really did make me see him in a different light. He's doing everything he can to be lovely, but it's still on my mind. It was a lovely sunny day today and some people from work went for a swift half in the sun. I obviously didn't go as I think it's too sensitive and too soon after our big blow out, but I definitely don't want to get into the habit of not doing things because I'm worried about a reaction. Changed my plans for after work bevvies this Friday for my birthday as well - now going for lunch with work friends and going for dinner with DH. Seemed like a good compromise! I'm back to not drinking again for FW and TWW anyway.

Sorry you're still feeling blue pjs :( its understandable though. Quick query from me - c6 cd3 here and started temping yesterday for the first time. What am I looking for?? Is it when it starts to rise I'm about to ovulate? Want to prove I'm actually ovulating this month... Thanks!

It rises once you've ovulated Kiwi so totally useless for predicating ovulation but does confirm once it's happened. Hope that helps

Ah rubbish! Haha well I have a few opks left so will use those and then temp hopefully will confirm... Argh its all so complicated!

kiwi yeah like flora said it'll only confirm ov, once you get three rises in a row above 0.25 degrees I think it is. Do you use fertility friend for tracking? That will put your lines on the chart when ov is recognised.

basset so sorry and I totally get the rage. I actually think my rage gets worse with each cycle. I also think cycles 8-10 are particularly hard because you're still too early to start tests and get some reassurance or help if needed. It feels like a very lonely journey at times. I got baby bombed today and it was a really unexpected one and I had to do my best not to cry!!

jene have you mentioned it to Dr?

pjs that's understandable and time will heal - focus on the million things you love about DH and not that he lost his sh*t one night. We all have our moments. Sounds like you have a lot of social events going on and that always makes it difficult to cut back on the drinking without excluding/depriving yourself.

kitty and kaydee how are you getting on?

I'm cd26 and just waiting for AF, not really sure when as my cycles tend to vary between 29 and 33 days, but I did ov early this month so I'm guessing sometime at the weekend.

AF due today, been having period cramps all week, but I hope she doesn't show! Want these cramps to be something else!

Totally get the rage ladies - for me it's because it's ages until you'll get to the end of the TWW, just seems like wasted time!!

GL for this month flora!

Fx AF stays away JeNe!!

Glad you are doing better pyjamas - I know what you mean about thoughts lingering after arguments like that too, ive always found it fades, with time, but glad you are both in a better place

Hope the OPK / temping combo yields results for you kiwi!!

Fx for you this weekend too Eva

And so hope AF stays away for you today zohz! Will you test tomorrow?

I'm doing ok thanks Eva, nervous /anxious but what will be will be!

AF still not here but I'm trying to tell myself the day is still young so not to get too excited! I don't know. I haven't got any tests to hand so I'd have to go out and buy one, so I'm thinking I might wait till the weekend actually! Though the wait might just kill me! I've had loads of period cramps but nothing has come of it. The only different thing for me this cycle was like a flash of boob soreness which I've never had!
