Beanie So sorry she got you

Thanks LobsterLass, that sounds really awful! I can understand why you're so scared. Why do some people find it so easy and others find it so hard?!

I'm a bit confused today, I have to say. I've gone to the toilet about 6 times this morning (since 8am) and only had 2.5 cups of tea... Also real pains in my abdomen, similar to AF cramps but not quite as painful. I think my cycle may still be settling so if it's 28 days, AF is due in 10 days, but has recently been 35 days so should be OVing now but test this morning didn't even have a faint line, but tests showed a dark line last week. Really confused - not quite sure whether I'm just over-reading symptoms!!

Also, don't have the luxury of having the Boobs symptom, as mine aren't real so don't have a lot of feeling in them anyway.... Lots of reading symptoms that don't exist I guess...

Ah Mollie it's ok. I kinda knew it wasn't going to happen because of the BFNs.

Onwards and upwards!

blackrock · 07/07/2008 13:32

Had the same thoughts as Sparkly BS.

Sparkly My cycles have been between 21 and 25 days for the last six months. Have been TTC for well over a year for no.2. I breastfed DS1 for a year, He is a 5/06 babe. Lucky to have him and appreciate him loads, if one is all we get I feel lucky, but another would be a bonus as we are a small extended family, and i don't want him to be all alone in the world as an adult! (silly i know, but a phone number for a distant relative does wonders when things go wrong).

Not so worried now as sister in law is pregnant so DS will have a cousin!

DS1 took well over a year - i was about to go for help when I fell pregnant with him. i had stopped thinking about ttc at the time!

I don't know when i ovulate. Gyn looked at me and confirmed that i do, but in 07 my cycles were 12 to 20 days, and gyn I may not ovulate every month because of this. Have started using fertility friend and am tracking carefully, planning things carefully for optimum TTC abilities (superhero TTC)!

Not sure what a TB is, can anyone help?

daisyj · 07/07/2008 14:55

Hello - can I join your lovely shiny thread?

I'm TTC#1, cycle 1, CD17. Had mc in March and decided to wait three cycles before trying again. Have never charted or anything, but just started using the Clearblue sticks as have no idea when I ov! Everything seemed to settle down v. quickly after mc, so I'm back to my usual 28-32 days. Looks from stick I used yesterday that I should ov tomorrow.

Anyway, thought it'd be nice to have some hands to hold on 2ww.

DawnAS - could be implantation cramping - fingers crossed! I had it the first time but didn't realise what it was till mn educated me!

SparklyPiliPala · 07/07/2008 15:12

It's lovely to see this thread 'alive' again and have lots of newbies to chat to. I feel like I've been here forever.
Welcome to everybody.

Blackrock My cycles average about 31 days but AF has been very strange for a few months and I've been having a lot of spotting. I went to GP and she did 21 day bloods which all came back normal. Are you temping and using OPKs? I've been using FF for about 5 months now and find it very helpful and it has shown me that I OV around the same time every month, usually about CD16. I feel the same as you about a sibling for DD...I feel so lucky to have her (she's an 10/05 baby) but would really love another. Did you mean a CB rather than a TB? CB=calendar buddy.

FlirtyThirty · 07/07/2008 15:14

Welcome DaisyJ!

I'm TTC#1 and on my first cycle too.
Sorry to hear about your mc - emotionally battering times. It's goot to see you back here and hope this time you're luck sticks around. Will keep fingers and toes crossed for you...and the rest of us!

Flirty. x

Bonifacio · 07/07/2008 15:35

I wasn't going to join in because I thought it would be a bit wierd mentiong periods etc, but you all seem VERY straightforward about it all so here goes.

First cycle (is that how many goes you've had??) of TTC I am on CD14 ( I think) I have a 26 day regular as clockwork cycle. Was on the pill (mercilon) for 4 years then had the implanon fitted which I had taken out a year ago (in preparation for TTC but a change of countries delayed it until now) I quit smoking about a month ago, have not yet given up caffeine, am eating fairly healthy (though cookies and cream hagen daaz is my weakness) and am exercising a little but not as much as I would like!

I am super excited and hoping for a BFP for myself and everyone else in here!!

Bonifacio · 07/07/2008 15:54

Thanks for adding me to the list Beanie. Just wanted to clarify, when TTC am I right in thinking that you should TTC every other day while you are ovulating to re generate the sperm (I saw it on Dr Phil I think!)And am I also right in thinking that you ovulate for around 5 days ish, I haven't used any of the ovulation predictor tests as yet.

Good night ladies, hope to see some BFP's soon!! (7 hours ahead of UK - I'm not being lazy!)

zen1980 · 07/07/2008 16:26

Hi everyone, well AF is finally here and I can say its one time when im glad it eventually arrived. I thought there was a pretty low chance we conceived this month. But hey back on track and ready to go get my BFP this month!! Well fingers crossed for everyone i'm now on cycle 3! x

loustillwantsaBFPtoo · 07/07/2008 16:59

hello flirty bonifacio and other Lou!

Beanie and Blackrock and Zen we will get there!
whats happening with other people?

I am getting worried about my tubes/dye/scan thingy on friday. I have been told by lots of people that it is painful, and I am a COMPLETE wuss. Pain threshold is very low. Do you think they would give me a local anasthetic? Anybody know anything about Hystero - salpingograms?

help!
lou xx

loustillwantsaBFPtoo · 07/07/2008 17:00

ooh meant to ask how you were doing too mollie? feeling okay?

Original poster

MollieMooma · 07/07/2008 17:10

Lou I'm OK thanks, a lot calmer than I was on Saturday! No more spotting so just hoping beanie was getting comfy. Will hopefully get an early scan booked with GP when I see her on Weds, will feel a lot more at ease when I have seen something!
Sorry don't know anything about the scan your having but I googled it, bit of a mix bag but one lady said it was just like a little cramping and only lasted 10 mins. I will be thinking of you Friday hun, good luck x

OP posts:

beaniesteve · 07/07/2008 17:17

loustillwantsaBFPtoo - I have no experience but wishing you luck.

My OH is off to the doctor on Friday to talk about having his sperm tested. I'll be thinking of you... and him!!

blackrock · 07/07/2008 17:36

It feels very buzzy in here, so busy! High energy TTC canlt be bad! Great to see so many new nameson the list, here's to everyone have a short stay and graduating quickly!

Sparkly i haven't used OPK (not sure of this?) but do temp daily, as yet unsure of ovulation although did have cramps midcycle, so maybe that wwas it!

Glad you are feeling calmer now Mollie

Here's to a BFP in July or August Lou and everyone else at the start of a new cycle!

SparklyPiliPala · 07/07/2008 18:51

Bonifacio I think I once read that you can dance everyday around OV as long as your DP has no known sperm problems. I only normally get a + ovulation test (OPK) for one day during my cycle and then I OV 24-48 hours later. I think it only takes a day to release an egg but I'm not sure of this. Does anyone else know?
Blackrock OPKs are ovulation tests. They don't cost very much at all from ebay or babymad. Is this your first month temping? Are you using a thermometer for TTC? If you want me to have a look at your chart then just ask. I know too much about charting now. I find it really useful to use OPKs alongside charting because then you get a more accurate ovulation day.
Lou Lots of luck for scan on Friday. I know lots of people who have had them and it's meant to feel like period pain but a bit stronger. I'm sure everything will be fine. It's meant to be easier to get a BFP after the scan because it gives you a good clear out so lots of luck to you.
BS My DP is doing the same thing this week. It's his first visit to the GP re: TTC. I'm sure he will chicken out!! Well done for staying on top of the list BTW.
Zen Sorry she got you. Let's hope 3 is your lucky number!!

DawnAS · 07/07/2008 19:01

SparklyPiliPala I'm a bit confused with my OV to be honest.

Can you still have OV pains AFTER Ovulation? I have been using the OV tests every day for the last week and the line has never been as dark as the test line, but has definitely been darker than normal on one of the days. So I assumed that I was OVing on that day. That was two or three days ago but then today and yesterday I've been having almot AF type cramps sometimes just on one side and low back pain. But when I did the OV test today, there was no line there at all. It's about 2 weeks and 2 days until my next AF is due (I'm normally on a 35 day cycle), so I'm not sure what's happening.

Another thing that's a big odd, between 8am and 11am today, I went to the loo about 7 times after only drinking 2 cups of tea!!

I'm sure I may be just getting symptoms but I've never noticed these pains before, this far in advance of my AF.

Any ideas?

xx

SparklyPiliPala · 07/07/2008 19:12

Dawn I never notice ovulation pains. If you got a darker result line 2 days a go then that would indicate you were going to ovulate within 48 hours..so the pain today could be ovulation pain. I'd keep up the BDing just to be on the safe side but I reckon you've ovulated and are now on the 2WW. The symptom spotting during this time is hard to resist . HTH.

DawnAS · 07/07/2008 19:28

So, SparklyPiliPala, one final question, if we BD last night, should we do it tonight aswell or leave it until tomorrow?

First month naiveity and all that...

xx

Sparkly08 · 07/07/2008 19:40

Dawn If you were ovulating today then last night's swimmers should do just fine...but what the heck? You might as well go for it again tonight . I'd keep up the OPKs for a few days just to be sure that you have ovulated. It will get easier over the coming months (if you don't have a BFP before then) because you'll know when you ovulate.

DawnAS · 07/07/2008 19:43

Thanks Sparkly, strangely that's what DH just said "Wouldn't hurt to do it tonight" with a cheeky grin on his face!!
