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?

I'm out. Metallic taste all yesterday afternoon and evening - thought I was going to throw up was so bad, then today woke up with proper spotting so AF def on way, and feel all periody too. Burst into tears this morning and still feel rubbish. Metal taste was so horrid am sure not just figment of imagination. Feel really lousy.

yellow that's such a shame (((hugs))) i'm so sorry. very strange about your taste tho, i remember when i was a teenager i had an awful metal taste and it turned out i had gum disease which was causing a reaction with my filing in a tooth! so i guess it might be something like that, or diet related? it's awful enough waiting but when you have symptoms as well it's torture, our bodies are good at tricking us, i should know i had strong symptoms for 6 weeks and it was nothing!! Chin up honey, lots of love to you xxx

I am feeling quite sicky today, all down to pre holiday stress i think. and i'm sad to say that my right side pain is back, i had it on and off yesterday and over night it woke me up. i'm hopeful that it might OV but it feels like it did for all those weeks so maybe it's the cyst again? hmm. will try not to think about it, i have another scan on 16th Oct when i'm back from hols.

ps i've just noticed that we have written 554 messages on this thread!!! Well done Nelix for starting such a brilliant thread - long may it continue!

Sorry to hear that Yellow.

Thanks heeby and wasabi. Hope you feel better soon heeby. I am going to have a day of wallowing and a hot bath (ah, I hate two weeks of not having them while waiting...) and then work out romantic things for our BD stage.
x

Aww Yellow im so sorry, enjoy your baths with some wine, usually makes me feel better!

heeby i can't believe your pain is back! May be ovulation? Hope it's not the cyst again. Take care honey x

Sparky it's natural to feel how you do especially when you have had the trauma of a MC before. Try not to punish yourself for being anxious but try and keep positive at the same time xx

wanabe yes i'm really hoping it is, you know i could of sworn i had a (sorry tmi!!) leak from my (.)(.) this morning, i was getting dressed and my hand brushed against one and i thought it was either very cold or damp?!! Sorry weird and graphic i know, but thought it was odd.

so maybe it's just a strange symtpom of OVing?! we had an 'early night' yesterday so would of timed it right if so!

ps wanabe i thought your message to sparky was really lovely, you said it all in a few words. Very kind of you.

heeby I had a cyst removed back in March along with my right ovary & tube and have been told I have 6 little ones on on my left one, but doc doesn't seem to think they will cause problems unless they get bigger, she also said that the left one will produce for the right one so fingers crossed for chances of a positive result soon....update for your list I'm CD9 & AF due around Oct 8th-15th. Cycle not quite settled down from the op yet and is 3 wks one month & 4 the next, so going to do lots of BD over the next wk trying to catch the OV stage, had OV pains yesterday and still have them today so going for it tonight with DH

Ooh heeby that's weird. Ever had that around ovulation before? how strange.
To be honest I have no idea how sparky is feeling but she seems to be punishing herself and i know if i had a MC i'd be a nightmare on my next pregnancy because i'd be so worried. Just trying to understand and put myself in her shoes.

smiley sorry to hear about your cyst but at least the outcome sounds quite positive for you. Fingers crossed!

I'm starting to obsess again..... HELP!!! I'm CD16 and no sign of ovulation yet according to my fertility monitor so starting to wonder if it's actually going to happen at all (stupid i know as i could ovulate tomorrow) but i can't help it. I'm worrying about something that is out of my control but i know that if i don't ovulate this month im going to be a neurotic maniac who starts to convince herself that she is infertile !!!!!!!
Sorry about the rant but i have nowhere else to turn. Tried speaking to DH about it and he said "try not to worry about it" which was a big help
Will just have to see what the next few days brings.

I know men are rubbish at talking about these things and sometimes I feel frustrated. But sometimes I feel kinda grateful as I think it might be worse if there was two of us obsessing together - even mmore pressure!!!.............hmm, who know. We women all relate though - totally!

hey everyone, sorry you are outyellow....but technically you are back in!

Thanks heeby I can't beleive its gotten so big but I am delighted!!!what with all you wonderful ladies, fun anicdotes and sharing of sad moments.....I feel really glad to be part of it!

Hi again!
Been thinking about something that yellow wrote earlier about not being able to have a bath while TTC. Why is that? I've been having baths, should i not be?

Just hot baths - I love them scalding hot and wallowing for ages and apparently that's not goodf if you have a newly fertilised egg in you. So I restrict mine to the first two weeks of cycle - probably just going overboard...

Thanks Wanabe - exactly what I needed to hear

This thread is totally fabulous (well done Nelix!!)

Hugs and positive vibes being sent your way Sparky (passes over some forgotten Green&Blacks from the back of the fridge).

Ladies - I was wondering the other day whether we're in any danger of synchronising our cycles given how much time we spend in each others virtual company .

funtime lol about our sync cycles

Well just been to loo and def ov'ing! When hubby gets back from band practise tonight he's not gonna know whats hit him!! Providing LO stays asleep tonight! She is teething

mylittlebubble I must be in sync with you, think I'm ov'ing at the mo. Its our 1st month of trying so DH is all excited about BD'ing for the next 5 days or so, lets hope it happens this month while hes still as obessive as I am

lol funtime syncronised cycles ...... it could happen!

Good luck smiley and bubble i'm sure your DH's will enjoy the next couple of days!

I'm CD17 adn still no OV according to fertility monitor keeping my fingers crossed it happens over the weekend otherwise there's little chance i am going to OV at all

Morning all!
wanabetry not to worry...I had a 32 day cycle and sometimes did not ov until between days 19-23....you may just ov later than you think! goodluck

Wow Smileycat and Bubble, it's happened just as I predicted, I'm ov'ing at the moment too. I feel a mass testing coming soon .

Ov'ing vibes to Wanabe. Can the fertility monitor miss ovulation, like the stick things can?

Also meant to send you hugs Smileycat after hearing about your op. Not sure it it's any help, but I conceived ds with only the one tube, so keep at it.

Can I be nosy and ask what happens when you lose an ovary. Does the other one ovulate each month or do you have gaps? Sorry to be personal, I'm interested as I've still got my ovary, so it ovulates and the egg just goes floating around to have adventures of it's own.

Oh didn't think of that, thanks nelix i'll keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the OV'ing vibes funtime but i don't thing it can miss the hormone levels as they say it picks up on the surge you get just befor it happens and i've been peeing on sticks for the past 9 days! anyway, what will be will bee! keep the vibes coming ladies!

Hi ladies ... well count me in, i think i am OVing too, (maybe yesterday tho) as had pains which have almost gone today and have been feeling sick and yukky, and just had some CM so maybe, just maybe i'm in too. gonna keep busy just in case .

I feel a little sceptical saying this tho as i am having similar symptoms to when i first had this cyst (altho didn't know it was a cyst then) so i hope it's not that and i'm back on track. hmmm.

wanabe fingers crossed you OV soon, with all this OVdust around how can you not!!

sparky so glad you are feeling better honey, try to keep that way and stay focused on each next stage.

i was with a friend last night and i was telling her about our thread and trying to explain what we talked about, and it was really weird that i couldn't say outloud the things we talk about on here, i was too embarrassed! all the TMI stuff etc, which goes to show what a brillaint thread and source of support this thread is!

Hello Everyone!

Please can I join you? I've been lurking on this thread for a few weeks and I feel like I know you all already!

A bit about me: I've just come off the pill, Fertility Friend tells me I ovulated on Monday (I'm sceptical!), plenty of BDing within the fertile window so now I'm justwaiting and hoping. FF tells me that the earliest I should test is the 11th of October, which seems like a terribly long wait!

I'm particularly interested in people's experiences of sharing all this with DH/DP. I love my DH to pieces and he is veryvery supportive, but he just seems so uninterested in the technicalities of conceiving! I'm fascinated by all of it, awed by what our bodies can do, but he says we should just wait and see what happens. I've never been a waiting-and-seeing sort of person and I'm not ready to relinquish my controlfreakery just yet!
