In the fww do you all dtd every day?

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 08:47

I think there were some women getting bfp from a couple of days past in but others not until after af... maybe test tues/weds... if BFN... try again Sat... it ain't over til it's over x

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 09:52

After IB Not after in... stupid phone x

littlemimosa · 27/03/2017 12:09

Jords, I've never tested early. I always wait til af due as i find too many bfns disheartening. But if you're due Sat i think a lot of ladies on here test from 10dpo so maybe tues or wed for you? Depends if you can distract yourself or not this week? I'm still symptom free although i'm getting lots of 'feelings' in uterus....course, that could just be in my mind!

littlemimosa · 27/03/2017 12:14

Stef, that sounds horrific if im honest. To lose that much weight and be so ill:( Did you end up in hospital? It must be very nerve wracking ttc again. I've heard there are some good safe meds for HG so that's positive. Did you take anything with your DD?

xStefx · 27/03/2017 12:53

Mimosa, Yes I was in hospital a lot, ended up with a pump for meds and home IV for fluids and nutrients , she was worth it though :-)

I was on a couple of drugs, Ondansetron and cyclizene and next time round have been accepted for Diclegis (which is in America) and Prednisolone steroids so Fingers crossed

Ive still not put all the weight back on - have tried and tried but cant :-( ive only managed to get back to 7 stone 6

4 days until my A/F is due, symptom spotting like crazy today lol ui have cramps and sore boobs (but not sure if that's because I keep pressing them) lol

I did pee on an OPK stick yesterday though (I heard you can use it as a preg test but nothing came of it, im not sure how true that is

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 13:31

Aww Stef... sounds really scary, hopefully this time round will be different. I think opks can work but don't detect low levels so you have to have quite a lot of the hormone to detect it.... we're getting closer ladies x

xStefx · 27/03/2017 13:37

Oh good as it came up negative lol - thanks lisara

I have a feeling next time round will be better for me , im very prepared :-)

Yay its Monday already, a few more days to go for us all ....

xStefx · 28/03/2017 11:48

Morning ladies, just a few days to go :-)

Anyone having A/F symptoms? Ive pressed my boobs so much now that ive made them sore lol

x

lisara79 · 28/03/2017 13:04

Morning Stef (and all).. lol... I know about the boobs, I'm sure mine are all bruised. I'm having cramps and trying to determine if they are any different to normal. I am also not sleeping... ugh... I can't remember whether this is normal for me in the week or a sign... ah well... a day closer. 10dpo for me!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 28/03/2017 13:13

10dpo tomorrow.. testing with a FRER in the morning 😬

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 28/03/2017 13:16

Good luck grumpy

xStefx · 28/03/2017 13:36

Good luck grumpy, I could have tested yesterday but am trying to hold out for A/F due Friday or Saturday. Its so hard though

Jords0105 · 28/03/2017 13:44

Afternoon everyone, I've been having little twinges in my lower abdomen but could be nothing. I haven't been sleeping either but I'm so tired! Keep waking up every hour or so. I'm dying to test but now I'm confused of my dates so I don't know when to!

OP posts:
xStefx · 28/03/2017 13:47

Jords how come your confused about your dates? can we help with that?

Im also having twinges, but again could be A/F related

:-)

Jords0105 · 28/03/2017 13:49

Well I've got the ovia app and it says I'm due on April 4th but I worked it out and that would put me onto a 32 day cycle instead of 30 so I'm thinking more the 2nd. It could be to do with the fact my Af lasts for 4 days and March it lasted 3. I don't get any Af symptoms until the day before it's due at the very earliest

OP posts:
xStefx · 28/03/2017 14:01

Ah I see what you mean. I don't use an app anymore as it kept giving me the wrong dates.

I have 3 days of bleeding too when A/F is here, never anymore. I have a 28 day cycle (mostly) but always ovulate on day 12 instead of 14.

Had last A/F Sat 4th March
Ovulated 12 days later (which I always do) on Thursday 16th
AF next due sat 1st april

So I do come on every 4 weeks but ovulate two days earlier that the "norm" every month

It can be bloody confusing lol

littlemimosa · 28/03/2017 14:22

hey ladies, how exciting that some of us are coming up to testing:)
Good luck for tomorrow grumpy!
Stef i'm like you, ovulated day 12 this month though some months it can be even earlier. no idea why, have always been like that. AF normally lasts 5-6 days (with last 2 days being very light) so this month we started DTD straight after AF finished so we didn't miss the egg. It's all very exciting but then the luteal phase feels so looooong.

Jords0105 · 28/03/2017 15:17

Stressful isn't it!! Think I'm going to test Saturday so either way it should be accurate

OP posts:
xStefx · 28/03/2017 17:54

I always get too scared to test now . I've been hanging out for that little glimmer till the last second :-(

If I don't have my af by Sunday morning then I'll have to test cos I'll be doing my own head in my then lol

lisara79 · 28/03/2017 18:37

I'm going to stick with Saturday too Stef.... it's when my period is due so I guess it makes sense... lots of posts seem to say there aren't that many people who get bfps before af anyway x

littlemimosa · 28/03/2017 20:57

This is so exciting!!!! Lol, i'm easy pleased.

You're all testing before me so I can live through you all before I have to face the dreaded test.

Jords0105 · 28/03/2017 21:24

When you testing littlemimosa? I already have a feeling I'm gonna get a bfn this month because by what I've read implantation is very dischargy and mine wasn't so feeling a little crappy

OP posts:
littlemimosa · 28/03/2017 22:41

Jords, Not due AF til tues/wed of NEXT week! Even though i'm 9/10DPO i ovulate early (day 12) even though my cycles are 28/29 days.
I suppose i could test at the weekend and get a reliable result....
i've no idea either way what happening with me even though ive been pregnant 3 times before.
Honestly i wouldn't read anything into your symptoms or lack of. Not everyone gets symptoms. I was always convinced Af was on the way. Had normal PMS symptoms each time.
