@owlpatrol It sounds like you’re going through a really rough patch, I’m sorry Sad
Is there anything you can do to make work less stressful?
Good on you for making the decision to go to your doctor. Fx for you and let us know what happens.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 16/01/2018 21:24

@bubblybrit. Oh no! Your poor dh :-( I have the exact same thing right now:-( I feel like pants.

It will be interesting to see if you peak on the same cd this month. Yeah I agree, I think you should dtd when the urge takes you :-)

bubblybrit · 16/01/2018 21:47

@LookingAtTheStars89. Ah that’s rubbish. I hope you feel better soon. Nothing worse than dtd when you are poorly 😢

Yeah I’m expecting static on Monday/Tuesday if going by last cycle. How you getting on with IC?

Ginge12 · 17/01/2018 07:43

I think I'm definitely out for cycle 1 ☹️ couldn't resist waiting till the weekend so bought some early tests and it was negative! Looking forward to AF on Saturday...naaat!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 17/01/2018 08:16

@bubblybrit. The IC were a bit of a pain in the ass lol. I will find out on Saturday if I have been successful or not. I have had a couple of nights worth of insomnia over the last few nights so I'm not too hopeful but we will see x

Ttc #1
Length usually 35ish days
CD 21
Testing/Bfp due 01 Feb ish

We're not actively trying till maybe end of the year just taking a 'lets not be too careful and see where it takes us' approach just now, but since I know we've dtd during my fertile week this time around I'll be keeping a closer eye on things this cycle.

bubblybrit · 17/01/2018 17:35

@LookingAtTheStars89. Well I’ll keep my fx that you don’t need to worry about IC ever again! You’ll need to keep me posted xx

Aph413 · 17/01/2018 18:37

I feel like I might be able to give this bus a chance with my ridiculous cycles

TTC: #1
Age: 27
Cycle: 2 technically but they are 80 and 56 day cycles so 5 months.

BFP due February 10th if this cycle has regulated.

Going to try sperm meets egg this cycle and hope to god it's not an 80 day cycle because that's a lot of dtd.

Owlpatrol · 17/01/2018 19:55

Hi ladies and newbies!

Feeling a bit less stressed today I'll be glad for the weekend. Dh wants to dtd tonight which will be for fun rather than smep as I think I ovulated at the weekend but not had a temp shift yet! Forgot to temp this morning though. Officially starting the tww now again! How on earth will I pass the time. Not sure whether I'll be testing early but that can definitely change

ronniemipperton · 18/01/2018 04:11

Can I hop on please! AF has turned up with some fury, so uncomfortable I can’t sleep.

TTC #1
Age 32
Cycle 2 of regular (31/32 day) cycles (a few years of ttc with no AF before that so I’m still sort of relieved to see her!)
Bfp/AF due 19th Feb

Is anyone on the grapefruit juice train? Or is it just a load of BS? I tend to have quite good EWCM around ovulation but I figure that it can't hurt and I like the taste! I'm currently cd9 & should be ovulating at some point next week

Pumpkinbee · 18/01/2018 12:15

I'm really curious about the grapefruit thing as I only get EWCM for one day around 3 days before I ovulate. Although this month oddly I did get two days but my diet has way way improved over last 4 weeks and I'm much more hydrated and getting my fruit and veg intake right most days. So is it just drinking a glass in the morning like you would say drink fresh orange in morning?

sophherts · 18/01/2018 13:58

@Pumpkinbee that's what I'm doing! Also making sure I drink plenty of water as I hear dehydration can make your cm much thicker which isn't good

Aph413 · 18/01/2018 17:29

I've just been and bought grapefruit juice to try this out. My cycles are so out of it and I never noticed any fertile CM in my last 2 cycles so it can't hurt.
Unfortunately it turns out I hate the stuff. But I'll give anything a go 😅

sophherts · 18/01/2018 17:52

@Aph413 I had some mid-morning and (tmi) I had a big blob of ewcm at 4pm. I'm not due to ovulate until next week so not sure whether I should start dtd every other day from now!

Aph413 · 18/01/2018 21:16

I may not last long on this. Every mouthful is full of heart burn, I don't know if it's because I got pink grapefruit juice. I love pink grapefruit itself but boy oh boy is this stuff bitter

Owlpatrol · 18/01/2018 21:20

Ladies tie my hands down..... either 4 or 7dpo....

Feb Bus! Fingers crossed

Aph413 · 18/01/2018 21:29

Shouldn't encourage you but I can just about see something on the first photo. Fingers crossed that gets darker

puppyl0ve · 19/01/2018 07:59

@owlpatrol I’m not 100% sure but I think I can also just about see something in the first photo. Try adjusting the contrast on your phone? Are you going to get another test today? I don’t want to get you too excited but I’m very hopeful for you!

Those of you asking about grapefruit juice, look at my update at the bottom of the last page. It definitely works! I’ve been getting blobs of EWCM since CD11. I didn’t think I had a CM problem but now I’ve seen how much I’m producing I think maybe I did.
I’m drinking a glass once a day and I’m actually starting to tolerate the taste.

sophherts · 19/01/2018 08:38

@Owlpatrol I can see a v faint mark on the first one... did you test again this morning? Fx!!

@puppyl0ve every bit of cm helps is the way I'm looking at it! I'm going to keep going with it, quite like it!

puppyl0ve · 19/01/2018 21:13

@owlpatrol Have you tested again yet? Fx for you x

Owlpatrol · 19/01/2018 21:37

Hey loves yep it must have been an evap as tested this morning and to me looks negative there may be the slightest shadow so I'm taking it as a bfn. Annoyingly I've got drinks planned tomorrow night i was going to wait at least till Monday to test again though!!

Ginge12 · 20/01/2018 08:41

I'm on the Feb bus for sure 👍🏻 CD1 bring it on! My second cycle TTC and I feel more relaxed about it all, just gonna go with the flow instead of stressing about symptoms

Wingingit321 · 20/01/2018 08:43

Due 2nd of Feb so I guess I’m Feb bus too!
Ttc#3. Just come into my 2ww. It’s goinf to be a long 2 week. Let the symptom spotting begin

Owlpatrol · 20/01/2018 18:39

Argh jist totally flipped at dp over dinner plans. Then as quickly as I flipped I turned into an angel he said he can't win at the moment 😂 I feel really bad but I have been mardy since ovulation and I've checked and it's earlier than I'm usually mardy still got about 9 days till af due....
