First time TTC - thread 6

[bassetmum]

Well thats another thread full of our comings and goings.

My details again
29
Cycle 6
Cd25

Kiwi hope you feel better soon. I'm not sure about the smiley faces but don't they just suggest ovulation in the next 24-48 hours. I might be wrong though.

Fx wishful that you get your static soon.

Eva thats great. Its strange the difference in opinion you can get.

Well we dtd again last night but for the last day or so Ive been feeling queasy, crampy and warm. Hoping I'm not coming down with anything. Although I'm tempted to take a test just to be sure last weeks bleed was a period.

Pjs I'm taking one a day, it's a tad difficult because I work long shifts to get more than one in on a day. I've attached today's which I think might be the darkest one I've had so far but not positive yet.

Oooo looks like it's getting there blissful!

Sorry ladies I was super busy yesterday so only had time to dip in for a quick read - just catching up

Bliss fx you get an undisputed positive on the next one - looks good though, what CD are you?

Basset hope you're not getting ill, everyone seems to be at the moment 😷 feel better soon!

Hope you are on the mend soon too kiwi!

CD14 today & have DTD CD11 & last night & hoping tonight too, plan on track

Happy Wednesday all!!

Eva so glad the gp appt was worth going for! Must be good to feel like things are moving forward.

basset my motto is if in doubt POAS but then bfn doesn't particularly distress me, I'd just rather know where I'm at.

kaydee nice going!

My day before AF spotting has started, right on time. At least I got on top of the crazy after 1 day! I'm disappointed but there's nothing I can do about it so may as well get on with it. It just feels like getting pregnant is like the most impossible task ever, it's so out of our control!!

It was a negative which is what I thought. Lets just hope I'm not getting ill.

Oh I'm sorry pie.

Looks good kaydee. I'm on cd 9 and we've dtd cd5 and 7 so hopefully we can stay on track for eod.

Bliss looks like its getting there

I'm sorry Pie. I totally agree - hate that lack of control element of TTC - all you can do is keep going - but allow yourself a day or so to feel sad and pissed off.

Sorry pie and basset

There definitely should have been a bit more emotion in that last post - blame 10 second lunch breaks! Sorry :(

So sorry pie and basset

Can we agree that this is my positive opk?

Definitely blissful!

Yay blissful it finally came!

Ugh sorry pie, damn AF.

kiwi and bassett are you feeling any better?

kiwi I sometimes get ewcm in the tww and it confuses the hell out of me! Had you been dtd EOD anyway to cover it? Hopefully it's your month fx

Feeling better now thanks eva back to work yesterday.. No we haven't dtd because of me being ill :( really hope I haven't missed it! Definitely did around the smiley face though so fx! I've not had this amount of ewcm before which is worrying..

Wee update. Day 10 of flashy wee face on cb opk. Stop or continue?

Continue wishful if you can afford to? I personally would keep going until you get a static or af.

wishful I'm with blissful

kiwi I wouldn't worry - we all dream of lots of ewcm haha!! Some months I have lots and others I have none, quite unpredictable.

Cd6 for me and I'm drinking lots of water to get me some plump eggs!! I got my half stone award at fat club last night so I'm thrilled and in a very positive mood today!

pjs what cd are you on? Have you had ov?

Good luck to kaydee and bassett and everyone else going for every other day, let's get some bfps this month

Thanks Eva and Blissful. Will keep going until I get a static, negative or AF 👍🏻

I need some opk advice! Got all excited about my positive yesterday, decided to take another today assuming it would look more negative, however it still looks positive? Is that supposed to happen? DH has taken a look at my 'piss sticks' and can't tell the difference. I stupidly I didn't pay much attention to previous opk questions and chat which I now regret. I've attached a pic. Please help me.

CD15 definitely looks more positive to me blissful - so think today's is pretty normal with surge starting to come down! Hope that helps!

Wooooo for fat club progress Eva! Am on CD15 and I generally ov around CD12 (not using opks this month or temping) but we're carrying on with EOD anyway in case being ill delayed ovulation. Which means it's dtd time tonight!

I've been in a ROTTEN mood the last couple of days - yesterday was so bad I had to sit away from everyone in the office Honestly don't know what it's about, but suddenly hated everything - especially my job and resenting not being able to do what I want, when I want because TTC is always on my mind. Gah. Bit better today - honestly feels like the pre-AF rage!

blissful I've had this too, one month my opks looked positive for 3 days. You should take your first positive as the surge, and assume ov will happen within 24-36 hours. Clear blue ov tests actually stop you being able to test after the first positive, it just keeps the smiley face on there until after the surge. Have you had any left or right hip/groin pain?

pjs hopefully not pre-AF rage and hopefully pre-BFP rage! I know what you mean about TTC always being on the mind, it's so hard to switch off. I'm looking forward to a holiday in a few weeks to get away from it all.

Thanks ladies, should I count today as 1dpo? If I think about it and really concentrate I think I could say that I've had some pain on the left side, which is unusual as I normally have right sided pain.

Hard to tell if I have just made this up in my head or is its real.

Pjs are you getting enough sleep? If I'm tired no matter at what point in cycle I'm a total bitch. Sleep deprivation is a nasty thing. Have a non alcoholic beer and chill. We all hate TTC. Well I do.

That's a good point blissful - I've been restless for the past few nights so probably just need a good sleep!

I usually counted day after +ve opk as 1dpo as my temps always confirmed it as happening then.

Pretty sure I just have ovulated by now - but we're going to dtd anyway!

Jealous of your holiday Eva!

Must have, not just have!

Pie sorry about the spotting / AF I know what you mean about lack of control too, it all rides on doing our best for those 3/4 days & then the agony of not knowing for 2 weeks!!

Basset have you managed to stick to EOD? Fx for you

Bliss congrats on the positive OPK, hope you have managed to get lots of DTD in?!

Fx for you kiwi

Keep going wishful! Might take a cycle or 2 to completely get to grips with it, but you'll get there!

Well done on the weight loss Eva, that's brilliant!! Fx for some nice juicy eggs too!!!

LSFX pyjamas! When are you keeping up EOD until?

CD16 today & have DTD days 10, 11, 13 & 14 and think I felt some left sided pain on CD14 too, but hoping to DTD tonight too just in case

Hope there are lots of BFPs due this month ladies!!

Sort of kept up with the eod. The oh had some issues on Wednesday night with finishing. Hes a nightmare when something doesn't quite go to plan it gets into his head. Fx for tonight though. Im on cd 11 so not too bothered by Wednesdays non finish.

Kaydee looks like you've got dtd covered.

Bliss I count day three after my first positive opk as 1 dpo as I usually get ovulation pain roughly 36 hours after the positive opk.

Fab news about fat club eva.
