Well i think my most positive opk was last night as it was even darker than tuesdays. Seem to be getting lighter now so ov possibly today? Tomo?

Really cant stop thinking about it this month and over analysing everything.

Was lifting/moving heavy boulders today and thinking -maybe i shouldnt do this? What if it prevents implantation lol.

Iv officially lost it!

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/06/2018 21:34

@Lilsquish im the exact same but it is important to not overdo things, im not saying we should b hermits but its trying to find a balance isnt it? Im 7dpo tomorrow thats when i stupidly get the urge to test

Lilsquish · 28/06/2018 22:06

Aw i really hope this is ur month.

I know i shouldnt ask, but any symptoms? :-D

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/06/2018 22:16

@Lilsquish not really ive been tired and eating a lot but im prob tired with the heat and im always hungry the wk before af lol i got bloods done today and i was shocked the nurse said they should have my results in about 3days. So the labs shut over the wkend so im thinking tues/wed i ll find out if im ovulating or not.

Hi @thisisouryrfx18 - it has gone a bit quiet hasn't it! I am on cd10 so not much to report, but started opks today and going to stick with it. Fx'd for a shorter cycle.
How are you getting on - have you had any results for your tests yet?

Lilsquish · 01/07/2018 21:12

Not much to report here.

Around 3 or 4 dpo and cannot stop thinking about having a baby, testing, symptoms (or lack of them) etc etc.

Looking at due date calculators, implantation facts and all other pregnancy things like a mad woman.

Im going to be so disapointed next weekend.

Really would like a march baby.

Sigh xx

Lilsquish · 01/07/2018 21:14

Although i really wanted a 2018 baby, then a jan baby, then a feb baby.......

thisisouryrfx18 · 02/07/2018 15:21

Well I’m confused today. Looks like AF starting...or spotting not sure. But about ten days too early so heaven knows what’s going on. Am super stressed about work related things so maybe that’s mucking with my cycle?? Haven’t bothered testing this month as don’t think our timing was right

FlapJackered · 03/07/2018 08:15

That does sound confusing! What CD are you on? Could it be either ovulation spotting or implantation bleeding?

Veganmedic · 03/07/2018 17:24

I’m cd31 and would normally be around 40-42 day cycle. Think ovulated around day 17 but very unsure. Not quite enough blood for af yet but think getting heavier.

thisisouryrfx18 · 03/07/2018 18:59

@Veganmedic sorry hun af sux! The only bonus to it would b ur cycles gotten shorter makes sense ud ovulate on cd17 and get af on cd31 14days is a nice healthy luteal phase..treat urself to🍷and🍫its the only bonus to af x

OP posts:
Veganmedic · 03/07/2018 19:13

It’s weird-knew it was super unlikely to get lucky in cycle 1 but still feel a bit sad. Here’s to cycle 2!

thisisouryrfx18 · 03/07/2018 19:26

@Veganmedic i thought id get pregnant for sure on my 1st cycle lol i was gutted its normal to feel upset about it fx it happens for u soon x

FlapJackered · 04/07/2018 13:44

Sorry to hear about AF @Veganmedic - I am the same most cycles. It's hard not to get your hopes up.

TMI but I am getting definite stretchy EWCM today (CD13) but negative IC OPKs? I am going to start testing with the clearblue OPKs tomorrow but is this not too early for Ov'ing? OH has got his SA tomorrow so we can't DTD today and he won't feel like it tomorrow I am sure, so I am really hoping we won't miss it.
Last cycle OV was on CD43 so this would be seriously early!
Has anyone else had EWCM at other times in cycle or can it only be when you're fertile?

@thisisouryrfx18 Good luck with the results today if you haven't already got them. fx'd for you.

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/07/2018 14:15

Thanks @Flapjackered my bloods came back normal the receptionist said so assuming i ovulated, oh has his SA in a couple of wks and im getting referred to a gynaecologist. Im just feeling a bit miffed atm like whats wrong why is it not happening hoping its not oh as it might b harder to treat fot id feel relieved but tbh i dnt uuughh! I get EWCM for a gd few days before i ovulate normally, u dnt have pcos do u ive read that can give u EWCM at random times in ur cycle😕 x

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 04/07/2018 14:33

That is good news! @thisisouryrfx18 I understand it must be frustrating not knowing what is wrong though. My OH has his sperm test tomorrow so really hoping that comes back ok. Fx'd for your OH too.
Did you ask the receptionist to print out the results for you? If not I would, as some of their ranges of what is 'normal' is not great. My thyroid came back as 'normal' according to the receptionist, but then when I looked up the results it was still too high for ttc and then went up again in my second blood test.

Ah ok, I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS but do wonder if I have it, as my cycles are so long.
I am getting blood tests done next cycle so hopefully that will shed some light on it. I am really hoping the inositol helps shorten my cycles this time!

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/07/2018 14:40

@FlapJackered hope everything goes gd for yous aswell x i think i might have pcos aswell like u said the long cycles etc who knows ttc is a maze

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 05/07/2018 08:08

Good luck to your oh today flapjackered

Im 7dpo, trying not to symptom spot and hoping to hold out til sunday to test!

Lilsquish · 05/07/2018 08:10

Great news about ur bloods 'thisis*

Sorry about af vegan although thats a nice short cycle x

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/07/2018 11:22
