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?

Hey ExistentialistCat welcome to our thread! You will fit in perfectly as most of us on here (heeby & myself in particular) have experienced the same thing with our DH's. This thread will allow you to be as controlfreaky as you like and still allow your DH to feel like you are "just waiting" to see what happens! Us ladies have to stick together.
Sounding positive for you too so will keep our fingers crossed for you!

Thanks heeby im convinced it will happen soon. Maybe your cyst just gets more sensitive around the time of OV? perhaps that's why it gets more painful then? just a stab in the dark but maybe?!

Hi ExistentialistCat. Feel free to share those niggly little thoughts that cause dh's and dp's to run and hide the family rabbit!

When and how and how often and for how long and with what symptoms and of what consistency and in what position and how it compares to everyone else is important damnit . And they just don't seem to get it. Control-freakery is healthy and don't let enyone tell you otherwise!

Just to let you know my tfp has ended in lots of bleeding today (well i think its lots - don;t know when to start accepting its all over for this bean niw). Will check back when i have got myself together a bit x

oh ilovebeingamummy, I am so sorry. Much love.

Despite light bleeding for 2 days, so probs period, still have metallic taste. Did clear blue today (not digital) and faintest oif faint lines, as in I could easily be imagining it. Thing is, my imaginary line is slightly off centre, just to the left of centre in fact. Are positive lines always in the middle? This one is probably evaporation anyway.

Sorry to hear that Ilove, it sounds very much like my own experience earlier this year, a very faint positive and then bleeding. It's a horrible situation and lots of hugs .

Not much help or consolation, but my next period was exactly on time, so it didn't muck up my cycles or anything.

Yellowflowers, hope that you're in a better situation and the bleeding stops soon.

Thinking of you Ilove..am breaking off a piece of Funtime's green and black for you (thanks for that hon, much appreciated )

Hello Existentialist - love the name This is a fabulous place to hang out and share all our woes!

Heeby - you all ready for your holiday? (lucky, lucky thing!) We shall expect a BFP as a result of ouzo (sp?) fuelled BD-ing when you get back!!

Yellowflowers - how you doing?

And how is everyone else? I've got the SATC film DVD, some haribo and it's friday! Hurrah

Thanks for being so welcoming!

lol Wannabe and funtimewincies - looks like I've taken my borderline obsessive-compulsive disorder to the right place, then!

Is this not-wanting-to-know a bloke thing or is it the same if your DP is a woman?

I'm about to go and visit my parents for a few days so am rather pleased that I ovulated early in my cycle - wasn't sure how I was going to sell the idea of BDing on the squeaky couch in the living room to DH!!

Friendly thoughts to all who are having a tough or confusing time.

Aww ilove im so sorry. How disappointing for you. keep smiling honey xx

Yellow there's still hope! fingers firmly crossed.

Existential my DP is a man so can't comment on the male/female divide im affraid although from what nelix has said, her DP was very supportive so who knows? more than likely is a man thing, the whole bury-your-head-in-the-sand technique!
And as for the squeeky couch, yes that would have been very awkward! Is this your first?

Sparky i bought the SATC film on monday, a bargain £8 from Tesco so was very proud of myself. I'm yet to set a time for myself to watch this as DH REALLY not interested. I'm coming down with a horrible cold so could be a duvet day coming my way soon! SATC, chocolate, tissues, and decongestant.......nice!!

So sorry Ilovebeingamummy I had the same thing happen on my first cycle TTC - real BFP arrived on cycle 3, so I hope you don't have long to wait.

YellowFlowers - fingers still crossed for you. I had a nightmare with a Boots cheapie last week - couldn't work out if there was a line there or not so used a digital one - I'm now a fan, as the unambiguous words on the display are a real help.

Welcome ExistentialistCat

I am still lurking and wishing everyone well on this thread, but am very conscious that there are a lot of TTC'ers in this forum that have had persistent disappointments and don't want to upset anyone by sticking around too openly

Jools!!! you must stick around as a source of what is to come! We need you and Sparky and Nelix because we can keep the faith that it does happen and will happen as long as we keep persisting.

How are you anyway? Any symptoms? or are you ticking along nicely?

5 weeks today so it is feeling more real I've told a couple of close friends, one of who is also PG and one who has just had her first baby Booked in with GP and discovered antenatal care in my area is a bit lacking - no dating or nuchal scans and no booking in till 12 weeks so I feel kind of on my own - thank goodness for Mumsnet

Ummm symptoms - feeling fat - probably because of excessive consumption of choc during 2WW ! Very pleased with my new found cleavage, but boobs get v v sore in the evenings. I've had the most horrendous cold ever - seems so much more awful when I can't even have a lemsip - would have breezed through it otherwise I can't do Morrisons - super sense of smell makes me heave round the fish counter ! Have been feeling nauseous for a lot of the day during this week - seems to be brought on by tiredness and hunger. Have been v v v tired, but am not sure if that is the cold or being PG. I am soooooooo happy though - get teary emotional at times but never angry or irritable

Aww that's fab! All your symptoms are happy ones (well except the nausea obviously!) im so happy for you and can't wait until all of the TTC-ers left on here can all start an antenatal thread!
The lacking antenatal care in your area is a bit naff though. You'll just have to vent to us all on here until it all kicks in. And you have to spread the babydust too! take care honey xx

Can i ask what this Fertility Friend is all about? Anyone know?

Fertility Friend is a great site for inputting your cycle dates - it learns from the info you give it so it can predict ovulation and fertile days. You can enter lots of fertility signs - cervix position, EWCM, ovulation predictor tests etc and record symptoms you spot, so you can look back on the records, compare other peoples charts etc.

It is I think mainly for people who take their temp every day to monitor when they ovulate but I used it just to enter data and am now using the FF Pregnancy Calendar It really helped me understand my cycles better

Ive read somewhere that they are only accepting new memberships if you are referred by an existing member if so, let me know and I'll recommend you

Evening ladies,

What a long time it took to catch up!

exist welcome honey, and if it helps (and as the others have mentioned) my DH is totally 'stick your head in the sand and hope the stork comes' he won't talk about the whole 'making a baby' thing, and refuses to listen to my obsessing, thank goodness for MN is all i can say!! You are exactly in the right place, obsess away with us!

jools STAY - you are our beacon of hope, lovely to hear about your symptoms, even tho i'm sure they're not nice to have mostly. Hope you are feeling bit better soon hun.

yellow not sure what to say, i do remember having a faint line, just left of centre when i was PG with DD, but please don't let that build your hopes up. I pray it is good news though, fingers are crossed here!

ilove poor you honey, most of us here (including me) have been there so when you feel up to it come back and we'll be here with lots of hugs waiting.

wanabe you might be right, it would make sense as it's the OV egg fluid stuff that causes cysts i think so that could be true, will wait and see i guess.

(((( hugs to everyone else))))

Well i am relaxing finally after a very busy day packing and sorting the house out, we are leaving on sunday morning so will try and get online tomorrow to check in on everyone. I am feeling weird today, no more real pain only a slight niggles on my right side and lots of small cramps in my tummy, also my (.)(.) tingle and i have felt sicky all day, i'm totally convinced it is because of OVing and pre-holiday nerves but did hover over the PG tests today - will i ever learn!!!

ps if you have to start a new thread cos this one gets full before i'm back can you put the GFJ accronym on the title so i can find it please?!!

Hey heeby nice to see you or hear from you anyway. Glad you're looking forward to your holiday, it'll be fabulous. Hmm i wonder if your body is trying to tell you something?! keep BD-ing to make sure lol

Jools i just looked on the website and i can join at the moment so may look into in over the weekend. Sounds good but i can't do the whole temperature thing as well as the fertility monitor, my poor DH will have kittens (then id be a millionnaire!! tee hee) bless

Can't believe everyone is OV'ing already, how fast has this gone? before we know it we will be back on the 2WW again all miserably praying for a sign! oh well, tired now so g'night everyone
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Holidays Heeby

Hopefully we will be organised enough to also leave a link to the new thread at the end of this one

yellow big hug

funtime not sure if I OV every month yet, we only decided to start trying last month so I havn't quite worked out my pattern yet. I still get OV pains every month but my mind plays tricks on me to whether I still get the thick sticky stuff that comes with OV'ing or if that was before the op as I wasn't really taking much notice before this month. My doc seems to think that the good one will make up for the one that has gone and produce for both. We thought we would try for a few months 1st & then if no joy we will go back to the docs and find out for sure what my patterns are...hope this helps

jools you must keep visiting! I agree with wannabe - you and nelix and sparky are proof that it CAN be done and are morally obliged to scatter your magic baby dust all over this thread at every available opportunity!

I'm a devotee of fertility friend, can't recommend it highly enough. It gives you lovely charts and calendars and predictions and satisfies my controlfreakery just wonderfully.

That said, I need an opinion from more experienced TTCers (this being my first go): Having just come off the pill (I know, I know, I need to wait several cycles for things to get back to normal, but I'm afraid I cannot list patience amongst my virtues), my CM has been nonexistent to scant. Based on my temps, FF tells me I ovulated on Monday. Today I noticed a certain wetness and thought ooh, could this be wet CM? I entered "wet" into FF and it took away my ovulation date!! So I've decided it's more "creamy" than wet , which means I get to keep my OV. But I might have to avail myself of the parental squeaky sofabed just in case...

Have other people found it difficult to classify CM according to the specific categories outlined by FF? I find it rather subjective, all too easy to see what I want to see...

Jools, you must stay! Rather than remind me of disappointments, it reminds me that there is light!

Anyway, I'm seriously thinking of mounting a dawn raid on Sparky's haribo and need someone to distract her with pregnancy talk .

What is the SATC film by the way?! .

HI all

Well I am starting to get my head together now and accept that we just have to move on to next month.

With hindsight I recognise that I knew something wasn;t right when i was a week overdue before getting a very faint positive.

When do you think CD1 is in this situation?

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

Hi,

I'm still on period but did another test today and the faintest of faint lines on a clear blue non digital. Am guessing if it is positive it's a cp that is ending as am on normal heavy period. Will do one with first wee tomorrow too just to check but it really is faint - I don;t have to hold up to light but it is seriously barely there. I would take heart though, if also a line tomorrow, that our sperm and egg does work, just this one didn't stick.

Thinking of you ilovebeingamummy

thankyou x

My heavy period stopped yesterday so lasted for 3 days altogether. But having had two very very very faint lines on tests on the weekend I now have nothing on test today so reckon it was cp.

Well, fingers crossed for July...

At least you have your answer now YellowFlowers and can move forward ...

I had something similar on my first cycle TTC - definite symptoms of implantation, only the faint BFP was really really early and a very very heavy AF arrived 2 days early

2 cycles later, I have my BFP I think I read somewhere that you are more fertile just after any sort of CP or M/C - if that is true, maybe July is your month
