Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

Am PMSL at the thought of that!!

Hey ladies,
I am back from holiday today and back at work (argh). Could central London be any less like rural Ireland?? One of the first things I did this morning was check this thread and am so so pleased to see good news Sparky ? hurray, I knew between us all some good news was on its way!
Thinking of you this afternoon Heeby and will check the thread later to see how you got on with the scan.

My update is just as confusing as ever ? I decided to use OPK every day on holiday (as I am clearly a control freak) with confusing responses ? Sat and Sun negative, Monday appeared obviously positive, Tuesday negative again and Wednesday again obviously positive ? bizarre I now do not trust these at all. Didn?t tell DH what I was up to as didn?t really want to discuss this topic any further for a while and wanted to have a romantic break. By the nature of the hols ? in a rainy cottage in Ireland there was lots of food, wine and BD anyway so you never know your luck.
I have decided to test on 17th as I?m going on a girls break to Spain and don?t want to drink if there?s any chance I could be positive. This would be 2 weeks after potential positive OPK anyway so seems timing is about right but after MC I don?t know what?s going on with my cycle. It would probably be best if I become regular again so AF wouldn?t be too bad I suppose? I am coming to terms with the fact I am just so impatient and control obesessed. I think when you?re used to working hard to get a successful outcome it makes this baby making so frustrating as it?s just beyond all control!!

Welcome back becky! we should be testing around the same time

Ah heeby nope no symptom spotting for me this time round! I am carrying on as normal, as after last months bitter disappointment I am not wanting to pin all my hopes on it this time you know? so its in the back of my mind, and will stay there! lol! How did it go??

Hey ladies,
I've decided to test on the 12th as I have booked the day off for a weekend away so seems like a good time to me. But if it's a BFN im going to test the following week because not sure where my cycle is at the moment.

Hey heeby how did it go? Hope you feel more positive now.

Welcome back Becky, glad you had a good time in Ireland but i agree about the OPK things, not sure i trust them either so not bothering.

Nelix how do you carry on as normal? I'm symptom spotting when i dont even realise it! im bloated as anything, had a headache for 2 days, mild cramps ocassionally. Although everyone in work keeps telling me i look unwell, thanks!, and im starting to convince myself it's AF brewing coz im an emotional wreck at the moment too. Was talking to my friend about a bad experience and burst into tears very unexpectedly!

me again! Jools i almost wet myself laughing at your last entry! very amusing and usually something that would have happened to me!

Evening ladies! jools i had to laugh at the image of you, knickers round ankles, trying t run down the stairs! i wonder what the postie thought, tee hee!

nelix i totally understand what you mean about symtpom spotting, i'm not going to again, it's very hard when you build your hopes up and it's not to be, def makes you wait to do that test huh!

So an update on my scan .... well i have to wait a week but the sonographer said all looked normal!! which gives me both relief and disappointment (not sure what i wanted but maybe some justification for feeling so rotten!) so i am none the wiser, but what it does mean is i should be OVing normally! so if we got the dates right i might .... might ... might of got it right this month.

But having said this, i'd be very surprised as i have felt so yuk and have had a lot on my plate so maybe i need to empty the bucket before we can concieve? anyhow lets wait and see!

ahhhh, heeby, glad there's nothing wrong even though I know what you mean about wanting an explanation. You must be kind of relieved I'm sure.

I think it?s time for another list and have added myself since I?ve decided to test on 17th. Anyone missing??

Also, far, far tmi but I don?t think I?ve paid more attention to my knickers and what?s going on down there generally since I was a teenager!!

As a grown woman well over 30 I?m ashamed to say before I started all of this I thought I would be able to get pregnant most of the month. I don?t know how I would have explained it if pushed ? maybe that the egg just ?hung around? for weeks I suppose??..good god .

Hi Girls

Heeby I know the wait must be frustrating but no news is good news and they didn't find anything straight away. My friend had a scan for PCO and was told there and then that she had lots of cysts! She then concieved two months later and now has two beautiful children

Today I have had really bad period pains, almost crippling!! I don't think we have done it this month as am sure this is a sure sign Af is on it's way

Jools [grin[ very funny!!

I'm crap! Meant Jools very funny!!

Thanks guys, yes i am relieved, mostly with the fact that i should be able to fall PG, in theory, so this has to be good news. I guess i am a little disappointed at not having a 'cure' for my sickness and tummy pains, oh well i'm sure things will sort themselves out soon enough.

bubble you are due the same time as me, is it not to early for af pains?

Just think by next weekend we might have more BFP's!!

so everyone on the 2WW, have you all given up alcohol already? i had to think twice before pouring my diet coke!

oh heeyby thats bitter sweet news for you. Good that its nothing visibly serious, could it have been something as simple as a really bad bug?.....

I havent touched a drink since we decided to conceive so for 3 months.....very hard and I have wanted to lol!....I had my first cup of coffee in weeks the other day and I was up until 1am! and as a regular coffee drinker that was hardest for me but it will be all worthwhile if/when I get a BFP. I am more certain we got out timing bang on this month since my CM has returned to watery, and will go sticky again in a day or two for sure, so I know we hit my fertile time.....

Now I must go write an essay joy of joys lol....I have exams soon to!lucky me

Any good plans for the weekend???

Hi Heeby this is only my second period since LO so not sure when due. My pains have gone and I think I am OV'ing! Well I'm not leaving it to chance and Dh has his orders for tonight

Morning All It has been a long week - glad it is Friday at last !

Well, after predicting I wouldn't feel ovulation this month, it kicked in at around 7pm last night and has been painful all night and into this morning. I met DP in the pub for a couple to get him in the mood to be seduced !! Probably my last glass of wine for a while as I tend to go right off the thought of it on the 2 week wait.

Let the symptom spotting begin !

One question - if I've felt OV pain over 2 days, do you think that today is the first DPO or tomorrow ? AF normally arrives bang on 13 days later ...

Sorry girls - just a quickie to say am off for the weekend so won't check in again til Sunday night!

Heeby - so pleased that the scan had good news (or no news at least!) Am really hoping this has been your month!!

right - have to go and do some work...

PS - Jools think you would probably count tomorrow as first DPO if you think you're OV-ing today?

Jools that is the same as me, oh I do hope my pains were OV and not AF. Not great timing I've got my mum here for the weekend!! Best get busy tonight x

hiya all! my body is confusing me too!....I had more EWCM today!....i dont get it and now think we may have insemed to early and my donor is not available tonight so I may have missed the boat! I know there is a small tiny chance some of the sperm are still alive in there and i was sure I felt OV pan on tuesday, but if I did then surely I should not be getting EWCM 3 days later?!?... I really feel we should have waited now and wish I had sperm on tap....oh well June is a fab month to have a baby too!!!

Hey Nelix....what exams have you got? what are you studying?
I reckon it should be fertility - as you know so much! Although I was thinking last night how hard it must be to only have a few chances a month.

Also - one for everyone - does having one child mean that you feel more relaxed about conceiving again (as you know you can do it) or is it still as emotional?

P.S. Sparky - how u feeling?

Hey everyone,

Heeby the results were good of your scan I see (well at least not bad). Keep positive!

I'm supposed to be going out with work tonight and im so worried about it i may not bother. Really don't want to drink, just in case.
Although i feel quite crampy today so could be AF on her way. hoping not though.
Also, my back aches today, i feel like a right moaning minnie today! sorry ladies but i can't moan at anyone else so it has to be you!

Grrr i wish i could find out now! im so impatient and feeling very emotional (another bad sign that AF could be on her way?)

WanabeMum - Your signs could be a pending BFP! I remember being an absolute bitch in my first few weeks and that is what made my best friend make me take a pregnancy test! Oh don't want to get everyone too excited thats not fair but so excited for everyone.

Becky - We are trying for our second and feel relexed at the mo. Not sure if thats because we have LO already or if its still early in the trying stakes. Ask me again in a few months if we're still TTC

Hi guys, I dont know about you but i am bored with the rain already!!

nelix didn't you say in your earlier post that you might get CM a few days after OV? I have had some EWCM on and off all week! is it the same as your normal EWCM or just sticky? have you stopped the grapefruit juice? i think you were so sure it must be right, you know the pains and what to look for so i would say try to relax and don't worry.

bubble that sounds promising! good luck for tonight, get those feet up on the wall girl!

sparky hope you have a lovely weekend, hope you manage to relax and have some new mummy time!

becky in answer to your question, i am much more stressed about it this tim around, DD1 was conceived first time so i assumed i'd be the same again ... which i was but then MC and no luck ever since and as you know have been suffering with all sorts since then. So i think given the circumstances i am more uptight but yes i do know i can concieve so i know it will happen eventually, i think i'd be more relaxed about the pregnancy this time too. Although i can't remember anything about it to be honest!!

Where is everyone else? the list is quite big but no news lately??

Hi becky....I am doing a degree in literature hence related subject exams! I am nto sure of the topics yet, I am hoping my tutor can give me a heads up tho!

I dunno heeby what if it wasnt FM on tuesday but today! the EWCM i have today is SO much stretchier! All I can hope is that the FM i had on tuesday has kept some of the lil guys alive and they reach the egg today if it hast been released yet. If not I have learned a valuable lesson! I have not had Grapefruit for 4 days now! lol I will start again on CD1 of my next cycle........

.. if you have another cycle?? i would of thought that if you had some FM then the little swimmers should be able to survive a while AND they would have made their journey to wait at the door! so maybe it was a good thing?? is your donor available tomorrow? just to make sure?

if not we can start a 'June is a great month for starting Maternity leave' thread together! xx

thats just it heeby he isnt available all weekend...it literally is a one time a month donation but its cool......x

Don't worry, it'll be fine, you wouldn't of had EWCM for nothing so it must of been the right time! have you had any pain yet this time? if not that must be a good sign, and why would you feel the pain if you hadn't OV'd?

Try not to think about it honey, let us know if you have any symtpoms and lets support each other through the next week or so.

xxx ((((( ))))) lots of hugs xx
