TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

[Sallie]

Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

he he he, good good, and you nelli, maybe you tested too early?? any how will pop in later on as i'm eatin lunch right now!

Jeddah,from what I can remember,dh took Zinc,vitamin C & possibly vitamin D too.I understand that it takes 70 days for sperm to be manufactured & to mature,as after the poor sample,we were asked if dh had been ill or under stress 70 days prior to the test.

If it helps,I took Evening primrose oil & seaweed capsules which contain zinc in the few months before my 1st 2 pregnancies,as well as having acupuncture.

Wishing you loads of luck.If I can help anymore,please let me know.

Help girls!

I'm using OPKs this month and am on cd15. I started testing on cd11 (for a 30 day cycle expecting to ov about cd16). On cds 11, 12, 13, 14 I had hardly any line at all, I had to squint and probably imagined a line. This morning I had a feint line but nowhere near the sample line in darkness. The instructions say to wait until the line is almost like the sample line.

I've had the odd mittlescmertz twinge and CM yesterday changed to wet (so sorry if you're eating lunch!! )

The big question is, bearing in mind that dh probably has a low count so we should only do it every other day, do we go for tonight or wait until I get a darker line on the OPK and possible risk missing the big O according to the OPK??

BLxx

I think for a positive OV on an OPK both lines should be at least the same shade? Maybe test first thing and then see what it says???

Hi all, not really been around much lately but congratulations to mp (& anyone else?) & hope you feel better/ get some clearer answers jeddah. Hardly a great offer increasing your chances from 2 pc to 7 pc for a mere 4 grand. very sorry.

Guys, any comfort or consolation pls sling my way. My head is going to explode I think. OK, so AF was due last Mondat. Really thought I was pg, did test bfn. Af finally came eve of 3rd day. But was v. light. vv light. Still have pg symptoms, but also have toatlly ditched booze. Also read that thyroid probs can casue lighter periods. So now I'm having these symptoms that could potentially be attributable to either pg, or thyroid, or alcohol withdrawal (not all). My breasts hurt (sometimes). I'm waking up in the night for a wee, I'm incredibly thirsty. I'm v. tired (even going to bed at 9.30 & getting up at 8 still knackered. Im my prev pg thirst & tiredness were the 2 main symptoms.

But done another test & got bfn. But then looked at it later & it was pos, but I know you shouldn't look after 'cod they can change, but it has nevertheless thrown me up in the air again. I haven't got a chemist near me so can't just dive out & get more tests. I'm getting fed up. Any thoughts anyone> Sorry to go on.

(((hugs)))ernest. Not sure what to suggest other than trying to test again in a day or two if still feeling the same, or asking the GP to do a test for you? Lots of sympathies in the mean time.

BL - yes they need to be the same strenght in coulor as it were. Just keep testin till that's what you see.

ern - ((hugs)) sorry about that hon, have yo had any thyroid probs in the past? Would really go with hula's suggestion, and sit tight until you can get another test and try again. how long did you leave it b4 u looked again?

ok girls I have a question, I don't know if you can help, or if i'll just need to wait for jeds/hest to come back over as a resident MV/HCP)

my Cervix sits to the left, or was it right? (ponders that thought) anyhow it sits slightly to one side, would this effect our TTC plans at all? I don't think it would do but am just wondering.

(((ernest))) - I'm not surprised your head is exploding. Agree with the others that waiting a few days and testing again would be a good idea. If no joy perhaps make an appt to discuss with your gp.

Munnzie - not sure I know for definite about cervix position but mine is hidden (DH calls it "secret cervix") and that didn't make any difference to me getting pg before. Just means I have to have the really long nasty metal thing when I go for a smear .

Good luck for whenever you choose to bd BellaLasagne

CD34 here and 13dpo (I think). Used to have a 35 days cycle but for the last three it's been getting longer and last month was 42 so no idea when AF due. Still, off on holiday tomorrow and don't know the spanish for HPT so will just have to wait and see what happens. If no AF by the time we get back I will be desperate to test!

Hope you have a fab holiday Rudy, and I will have my fingers crossed for you!

Oh, and Rudy - if you get desperate to know before you get back:

"me gustaría una prueba de embarazo de casa por favor"

Otherwise said as:

"i would like a home pregnancy test please"

Hi everyone not been in for a few days and I hope you are all well. I'm sorry for all who have had a hard time in the last few days and hope it can brighten up for you soon. And to all you who are progressing well, I hope it keeps going.
I think I'm on cd9 and EW (is this right) started appearing, so am I looking for it have elasticity and be quite see through. I think that my OV date is 2nd Feb as that will be cd14 - I feel daft asking questions like this, but can I become prgnat before cd14?

i dont know if anyone can access it?

morning all CD26 here - and stil feelin sick in a morning.

congrats to any new BFP's

and here's hoping the rest with soon follow.

Gracias Hula - let's hope I need it! The one thing about long cycles is that you get your hopes up for longer - not sure if that's good or bad. Last night I dreamt about doing lots of bizarre HPTs (including a homeopathic one you stuck under your armpit!) and they were all positive. I can but dream!

Pickledonion - fingers crossed that the nauseau is a good sign

Munnzie, cockenzie, everyone else - have a good week and please have LOTS of BFPs for me when I get back! Try and behave yourselves and don't chat too much . LOL RD xxx

Wow conkensie - that's one big lengthy cycle there!!! Drop in temp below cover line can be due to implantation maybe - don't know too much about that as obviously haven't had it. Have you done a pg test yet?
