Well I'm still hanging onto cycle 1 but it's a loosing battle. No more blood when I wipe for over 24 hours but temp is down below coverline so I'm planning my wine as AF will arrive any day now!

Good luck to everyone else! ☺️

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 09:43

@Lozzlepop oh mine does!! Last month he asked a few days after we'd dtd if id done a test 🙄😂 you don't have magic sperm hun! Bless him 😂

BabySquid · 12/02/2019 09:52

Oh my gosh, @thumper59 @Lozzlepop reading about your OHs makes me laugh! Also me realise how lucky I am that my DH's bestie is a woman, who's just had her 4th child and she tells him literally EVERYTHING lol. He knows we have a small window, knows I can't test too early, knows about spotting etc.

starkid · 12/02/2019 09:53

@Lozzlepop - they made me a little hyper/wired, but I enjoyed it, felt productive! Now I'm sloth-like again 😒
@Jessikka - what cycle day/ dpo are you on?

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 10:03

Good Morning all, how is everyone getting on?

@Lozzlepop I was that tired last night I let my OH watch footy in bed whilst I fell asleep on him 😨 @starkid do you think maybe you are crashing after all that energy.

@thumper59 god love him for taking an interest bout how naive are men 😂

@Jessikka When is AF due again sorry....

Iilana · 12/02/2019 10:05

Hello all mind if I join in?

I'm new to the site and also TTC.

I'm in my TWW 1st cycle TTC our first. We had a MC two years ago which was a surprise but both devastated that it didn't stick. Finally got my DH to agree to TTC.
I'm just using the clue app at the moment and also noting down EWCM.
I think I ov'd on 7th so we Bd that night and again on so I'm about 5DPO today.
AF due about 21st Feb.
I fell asleep last night at 9pm and didn't wake up until 8.30am which is odd for me I'm normally a night owl and normally sleep only 5-6 hours a night.
I'm not reading too much into just struck me as odd.
I've also been sneezing so I might just be coming down with a cold.
Anyway it'll be nice to chat in here with you lovely ladies as I don't really have anyone I can chat to about this.smile

starkid · 12/02/2019 10:12

@Iilana - Welcome! And sorry about your mc before xx

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 10:13

Morning @starkid / @DayDreamer1707

I'm on cd 24 and 12dpo :)
Af due Friday based on last months 27 day cycle!

How are you both?

Lozzlepop · 12/02/2019 10:30

@thumper59 at least they are taking an interest, I got told twice last week that he was tired though so he's been told if it doesn't happen this month next month we will be DTD every 2-3 days lol!

@babysquid thats really good, sounds like you OH might know more than me lol! Also 4 kids- good on her she must have the patience of a saint!

@starkid join the club, although the weather and this impending cold isn't helping!

@DayDreamer1707 we played a board game and went to bed before 10 lol!

@Iiliana welcome 🙂sorry to hear about your MC but glad you are back on the TTC journey! Im 8DPO with AF predicted on the 19th

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 10:30

@Iilana welcome and glad you are giving it another go. FX for you. I am only 6dpo so we are quite close this cycle.

@Jessikka I am guessing you haven't tested this cycle? I am just extremely tired but I normally always am. Keep having the odd aches and pains but that could be normal too x

starkid · 12/02/2019 10:30

@Jessikka - ooh during the tense last few days then. Fx for you! I'm fine, just making sure we BD ever other day from now til a positive opk :) which should be in the next 7 days

Iilana · 12/02/2019 10:38

Thank you for the warm welcome Smile
@lozzlepop I feel the same my DH seems to have a low/no sex drive feel I always have to drag him to bd, doesn't make me feel great.
@daydreamer1707 wow we are really close you'll have to keep me updated on symptoms got my fingers crossed.

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 10:38

@Lozzlepop well sleepy McGee seems to be asleep about 5 mins after getting into bed so my approach last night of pretty much hitting onto him as soon as I walked through the door worked a treat!! Think i need to brain storm some ideas of adventurous ways to get to DTD every other day 😂 I wish I knew where my body was at with ovulation or if I already have but it's really just a guessing game over here

Lozzlepop · 12/02/2019 10:46

@Iiliana my OH says he has a high sex drive but I always have to initiate and I know what you mean it does knock your self esteem a bit!

@thumper59 I totally think that is a man thing as my OH is the exact same, when i nudge him to say he's snoring he tells me that he's not sleeping lol! Sounds like a good approach 😉I will deffo need to up my game next month if we don't catch this month.

KatBeCool · 12/02/2019 10:53

@TrashKitten10 sure, you can add my stats to the list. I just hate posting them as it's not a happy reminder. I'm 40, this is now cycle 10.

@BabySquid I had a coil too, and a main reason I did was because it didn't change the hormones in the body. However, four cycles into ttc I found out that my TSH was too high and it was clearly affecting ttc because my temps were all over the place, ovulation wasn't clear based on that, abs my periods were way too light, which meant thin lining. It took another four months for my body to recover back to normal after I started the thyroid medication and TSH level lowered. I had no symptoms before other than light periods and even then I thought nothing of it. My point of this is... While I thought my hormones were untouched by the coil, they certainly changed on their own, without signs, while I felt completely healthy.

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 10:54

@DayDreamer1707 nope no test - I'm quite proud - I nearly caved twice but I swore I wouldn't waste the money so I was in a battle with my willpower 😂

I planned to test fri when due on but with yesterday's spotting and now a humongous temp drop I won't bother!

Il put the money toward a large Starbucks since I don't have to watch my caffeine intake now - silver lining! Just wish AF would show up so I don't have to wait much longer!

TrashKitten10 · 12/02/2019 11:55

@KatBeCool Sorry, I didn't mean to be insensitive, just didn't want you being left out of the list Thanks

KatBeCool · 12/02/2019 12:26

@TrashKitten10 oh no, you didn't say anything wrong, don't worry. If only being left out of the list was my biggest problem lol.

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 12:43

CD 16 today still unsure if I've ovulated 🤔 I think i ovulated yesterday. Gonna dehydrate myself from now until I go home 4:30ish and see what result I get. Still to get a bloody positive. Think I've covered bases from finishing AF as far as DTD goes anyway

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 12:48

Finished period on the 3rd. Spotted on 4th. Also DTD on 4th, then not until the 8th. Then yesterday on the 11th. FW was predicted 8-13th and predicted my most fertile day as yesterday but im yet to get a positive OPK. Argh I should of got another BD in between 4-8th but don't think my body was up to much round then anyway. I couldn't of ovulated that early surely? I had no other sings. Yesterday I had right hand side pelvic area pain/cramping and have had EWCM mainly yesterday. Felt real 'damp' the day before, I don't feel much today? What do we think? 😫 shall I just keep aiming to BD every other/every 3 till the end of my
Cycle?

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 13:08

@Iilana always good to have people close to you, I think @BostonFern is quite close too.I always say I won't symptom spot but I know I am lying ha.

@Jessikka thats well good, try not to until you have missed but yes to the Starbuck....I love it!!!

@thumper59 I read that you get wet and EWCM before you ovulate so today could be the day. You start to dry up in a way when you ovulate. Test tonight and see how you get on. Try not to stress yourself out. I think you are covering yourself either way x

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 13:13

Also has anyone heard that it's good to eat pineapple when TTC, whats that about....hasn't stopped me from getting some pineapple chunks.

Iilana · 12/02/2019 13:30

@daydreamer1707 I can't stop reading all the threads on here about symptom spotting. I think I'm obsessed. 😂

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 13:38

I'm off to the doctors soon; I can't take anymore nausea and dizziness.

It must be iron related as I remember as a teen I suffered with anaemia whilst on, so if I'm this bad when AF is still days away I'm going to be awful next week.

I'm literally sat down staring between my two computer screens and feel like I'm swaying. The nausea isn't helping either as it's day bloody 4 of waves of sick!

I'm praying to all of the gods past and present that this eases up soon. Please pray too... or light candles and make voodoo dolls. I'm open to doing whatever it takes lol

BabySquid · 12/02/2019 13:39

@KatBeCool it's interesting you say that... my periods are also quite light. How did you approach the TSH levels? Did you get checked out by the dr?

@DayDreamer1707 I've heard that. Also heard it's great for naturally inducing labour so it must be something to do with the acidity/natural sugar content of it. (Shame it's the only fruit I'm allergic to!🙈)
