for those of us new to all this - what is CD?
Hello by the way - quick intro for those of you who don't know me. I have 1 dd (4) and sonce having her have had 2 mcs - one nearly a year ago, and one in Jan 2008. Not quite TTC - but not TNTC if that makes sense!..

If I TTC I will need lots of help - as usually I couldn't even tell you when AF is due (despite being regular as clockwork!)

Dawn Help yourself to my special energy making, baby making chocolate x
Nervousal Hi and welcome, CD is the number of days since the start of your period (AF) So the first day of your AF is CD1 and so on. If you let us know your stats i.e. what day on your cycle your on (or guess if that's difficult for you) How many cycles you have been TNTC/TTC and the rest we know i.e. one child which is the #1 abbreviation.
So sorry to hear about your 2 m/c's I had an mm/c in January 08 too.

Hi, can I join too?

I am currently TTC no 3 (DS1 is 3, DS2 is 18 months). This is our 2nd cycle of 'really' trying although for a few months before that we weren't being careful, if that makes sense? I have PCOS and my cycles are pretty long and irregular - the last two have been 42/43 days.

I thought I had ovulated on CD20 (based on EWCM) and then had some spotting on CD28, so got all excited thinking that was an implantation bleed. However I've now had 3 BFNs (the last one today, CD35) so it looks like I was wrong and it was just my body playing tricks on me. I now wish I hadn't bothered testing, as that sinking BFN feeling is just horrible. I'm hoping AF now arrives soon so we can start all over again, but that could be a while yet.

Lots of good luck to everyone on here

Hello pinkpip100
Have added you onto the list. Good luck!

pinkpip100 · 04/07/2008 17:03

Thanks beaniesteve.

I'm contemplating a low GI diet (well, reading up on it anwyay!), so will be ploughing through the chocolate and wine while I still can

beaniesteve · 04/07/2008 17:22

I am hoping I get my period before the wine bottle is opened tonight. Otherwise I will feel bad about drinking. Hrmph. Still no period and still no BFP!

DawnAS · 04/07/2008 18:01

Ahhhh, I feel like the only one not opening a bottle of wine tonight - might have to call DH to get some on his way home from Work!!

Failing that - I've got a couple of Bacardi Breezers in the fridge from 3 weeks ago - can you tell I'm not a big drinker?!!

DawnAS · 04/07/2008 18:17

Hey pinkpip100,

Can I ask you some questions about PCOS?

This is my first cycle of TTC so I'm a real novice. The advice I've been given on here has been great so far, but typically, I'm at the stage where I'm "Dramatising" every strange tweek or pain as a symptom of something more serious...

I was on Dianette for about 8 years and came off of the pill about 3 months ago.

Since then I've had three regular periods, although slightly longer cycle than the cycle I had while I was on the pill. They tend to be every 35 days now instead of 28. I was on dianette because of "mild acne". It was by no means severe but you know, vanity and all that...

My doctor never mentioned PCOS to me and I didn't really know anything about it. Now I'm off the pill, my mild acne has come back (although it did take a couple of months to resurface) but I wondered what other symptoms I might be showing if I've got PCOS.

Periods were normal on the pill, not too heavy or painful, not too light. Now I'm not on the pill, they've changed but aren't heavy or painful and are still regular.

Should I speak to the GP about my fears do you think or am I worrying for nothing ?

pinkpip100 · 04/07/2008 18:40

Hi Dawn. What were your periods like before you went on the pill? Mine have always been really irregular, at times I would go 5 or 6 months without having one (I know, sounds like bliss, but actually no fun at all). The PCOS was diagnosed around 8 years ago after I had some blood tests & a scan of my ovaries which showed cysts. So far I've been lucky enough to avoid many of the other symptoms, which can include weight gain (and problems losing weight), acne and excess hair - and probably many others, I am not by any stretch of the imagination an expert.

Oh, and of course, it can have an impact on your fertility, but like the other symptoms the extent of this varies from woman to woman.

From what you've said it doesn't sound to me like you have got PCOS, though like I said I'm no expert, or even particularly knowledgeable. Its really common for cycles to take a while to settle down after the pill, and yours are still regular and, at 35 days, not that long. If you are worried though you could always ask your GP about it.

I hope that helps a bit. Attillathemeerkat seems to be the resident expert on PCOS, and has given me some really helpful advice in the past.

DawnAS · 04/07/2008 18:53

Thanks pinkpip100, it has put my mind at ease.

From what I can remember (I started on the pill when I was 18 so 16 years ago)... my periods were fairly normal, no real issues with them.

I may speak to the GP anyway and see what he says....

Thank you though!!

beaniesteve · 04/07/2008 20:15

Right-ho. I am still waiting for my period and still no BFP

So just to jinx it I'll post my so called symptoms.

What I am getting:

Creamy CM a couple of days ago, then yesterday what looked like a big glob of creamy mucus.

Soreness under my armpits - not constant but a bit like I have strained a muscle.

Tired, but I've had a busy week.

cramps in my belly occassionally, mostly about 3 days ago.

My right breast seems swollen around the nipple but they are not tender.

I feel quite hyper when I am not tired.

What I am not getting:

My period .

No heightened sense of smell.

No funny taste in my mouth.

so - there, Jinxed I expect I'll get my period tomorrow.

josiejellybean · 04/07/2008 20:56

het guys just nipped in to say hi
congrats to all those who got there BFP's june and july congratulations to you all XXXXX

welcome to the people who have just joined the lovely new sparkly thred X

well guys ive not been around for ages because ive just been so busy im so sorry ive been negecting you.

LO hasn't been well she has been sickly with diorreha(sp?) and shes teething. work ahs been manic, were trying tosell our house DH has just started a new job so all in all a perfect time to TTC hahahah!!!! im not stressed at all

im back to CD6 cycle 6 ive been using OPK's for the last few months and i havent got a positive yet iim getting really down in the dumps is it true that if you ahd clomid on the NHS oncce you cant have it again?? I had it to help concieve LO im thinking i might need to have it again as i dont seem to be ovulating at all im going to book a reflexology session for next week ive heard it has good results.

Anyway i will try not to neglect you all again lots of babydust XXXX JJB

loustillwantsaBFPtoo · 04/07/2008 21:35

hello hello hello!
Glad i found my buddies! thought i had lost you...

I am amazed how efficient the NHS has been - had a letter today for the fallopian tube scan. Im having it next fri! Have to have it at a certain time of the month, and no TTC this month as they have a fiddle around with everything and you have to let your body settle again. But... so pleased things are moving quickly, and we'll be back to normal next month.
Just got to sort DH and the swimmers now!
Feel better today, not so down. Hope all of you are doing ok?
Beanie hope you're not driving yourself too mad. Did you know that a good percentage of BFP's dont show till a week to ten days late!

xxxxx

beaniesteve · 04/07/2008 21:38

Josie - HI!

Sorry to hear you're so down. I don't know about Clomid but hope someone comes along who does.

Thanks Lou - am still hoping I'm one of the good percent

eth37 · 04/07/2008 21:51

Hi, CAn I join this thread? My AF is due on Tues or Wed next week. We are not exactly TTC but also TNTC so we will see!! The reasons I am mildly optimistic are that I have had weird abdominal twinges for the last couple of days and constant CM. Also feeling v v tired, but had busy week as well. No tender breasts or anything though. Hope everyone is having a nice Friday. No wine for me this week, although seem unable to stop eating chocolate!

DawnAS · 04/07/2008 22:31

Hey all,

Off to bed now. DH had the night off last night so I'd better show some enthusiasm...

Ho hum, the trials and tribulations of TTC!!

Write again tomorrow!!

Sweet dreams!!
