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?

go heeby brilliant!.....let us know how it goes!...aw its good news day all round!...Finally I have some EWCM (its not all I am sure but the most I have had in months) so DP is off to collect the sperm....we have such a nice time of it lol fingers crossed we have timed it right......I would love to have the option to do this more than once a month just to be sure.....but hey..on we go and hope we are right!......hows everyone?

Hey Nelix. Looks like we're may be doing the 2ww together we can stop each other early testing. Good luck

Finally on CD21 (today) i've had a PEAK on the fertility monitor Just got in and done a cheapy OPK and negative so thought i'd push the boat out and do a CB one and that came in as positive Now a bit skeptical about the cheapy ones!!

So the boys are coming round tonight from stir fry and insems wink As they are off to Gran Canaria on staurday.

Baby Dust and Yoghurt Pots for all

Hey everyone,

I'm still buzzing for you Sparky and starting to get nervous about when I test now, although not actually sure when I can!
Quick query, 2WW?!

Keep the baby dust coming, I'm sssooo wishing for a BFP as im sure all of us are
And I agree with Jools, i'd be peeing on pregnancy sticks for weeks just to try and convince myself it was true!!

So pleased about the scan being brought forward Heeby, at least you'll have some answers soon and can settle your mind. Keep us posted.

I think a lot of us will be on the 2WW soon

I'm on day 4 of EWCM, CD13, so am expecting to ov anytime soon and then start obsessing trying to distract myself from serial symptom spotting !

Hey ladies,

Just been thinking to myself, I've had period like pains last thursday to saturday but nothing since, and no other symptoms. Been looking on other threads and most women seem to get other symptoms too. Do you think it is a possibility I've been successful or am i wishful thinking?

I'd apreciate your honest opinions!

It's my first time and i keep thinking it shouldn't be this difficult although this is the first month that me and DH haven't been able to keep our hands off each other as we are sssoooo determined to do it this time, and all the other months (the last 4)seemed to have a significant impacting factor, e.g. had a UTI, went on a girly weekend, decided to hold off as was promise of another job. So what do you think? Help!! I'm obsessing already and can't test for another week at least!! argh

Nelix and Makingafamily - good luck with the yogurt pots ladies!!

Wanabe 2ww is the 2 week wait between OV and AF being due! When are you due to test?

Heeby am so proud you kicked some ass to get your scan moved forward Still in pain tho hon?

Jools have only done 2 tests so far will try and fight the urge to do it again tomorrow

right...time for my tea! xx

Hey Sparky, not sure when I can test. My AF is due some time between the 8th and the 14th! Any advice on when to test? Not sure I can wait until the 15th!!

Thanks for the info! im such a newby! ha ha

Hi guys

sparky thank you, yes in pain still, constant pain in my side and i started to get a kind of tightening in my tummy too, almost similar to pg cramps! (stop it heeby!)

Nelix - hope you are having a wonderful evening and lots of luck to you both (and the little swimmers!)

wannabe thank you for your message, do you think you will wait till the 15th? thats a long time to wait! I have been having the same pains but no other symptoms, well no different than the last 2 months!

I suppose i'm technically on the 2ww although i am not symptom spotting really as if i do have an ovarian cyst then i might not be OVing properly (even tho Dr and others have assured me it shouldn't be difficult). So am with you all on the 2ww as well just not shouting about it yet so as not to build up hopes!

Wannabe - I am having period like pains too, but like you I think I might be sympton spotting. Although I do remember having these pains when pregnant, I looked on them as growing pains although I'm not sure they were that early!! Oh I do hope it's all good for us all xxx

bubble it could be growing pains of little beans home for the next 9 months??? ever hopeful!

Good morning ladies we had a fabulous night, with dark chocolate and cherries and music and....... well......it was good! AND when DP was on her way home with the metaphorical yogurt pot(we dont use them as they have to large a surface area and more sperm dies)....I digress....when she was driving home I had OV pain! hows that for timing!.....Before DS I was like you makingafamilyi would OV anywhere between day 19-23, but now it seems I OV day 17! but I obviously still only get EWCM for a matter of hours before I do OV so it was pure good timing on out part.

So are we all on the 2WW now?or is anyone still waiting to def OV??

Wow I am so happy I can relax now, no more waiting for my body! I get two weeks to chill and maybe be pregnant! if not I have learned some more about my body this month to make it easier next month! And to be honest if we get pregnant after one insem it will be very very lucky! lol!

sparky I am still delighted for you, its so nice to have some good happy news....so come on girls lets get baby making!

Morning all

Glad you had a lovely evening Nelix What perfect timing, I am very impressed

I wanted to jump on DP last night, but we both fell asleep - a bit angry with myself as I don't think I have Ov'ed yet, but should do later today or tomorrow so the timing would have been good - have to try harder tonight !

I've just had a chat with a (younger) colleague of mine who is just back from maternity leave this week - she conceived within a week of deciding to try and is about to try for her second. Was nice to chat, but it made me a bit sad - at nearly 39, with a DP of 42, I'm not sure if I've left it too late ...

Hey jools even once you ov the egg lives for 48 hours so you still have loads of time!
Today being a parent at 39 is no barrier, we are younger physically than we have ever been in history and more and more women are waitng becuse they can not because they have to do it before they hit 30....your body is designed to do this and it will happen

Hi all, jools i think you will be still be in with a chance tonight, we fell aslweep at our optimum time this month too but made up for it the next nite, Nelix is right the egg lives for a while so you will have chance to get those swimmers on their journey!
And i totally agree 39 is not a barrier, my good friend had her DC4 at 39 and her DH is over 40.

nelix what a lovely evening, i'm so impressed at how in tune you are with your body, and like you say it'll be a good indication for next time (but lets hope you don't need a next time!)

I am feeling excited and nervous about tomorrow's scan. I had a dream last night that the sonographer told me that she found a baby when she looked in my tummy! weird!

Hey Heeby im not sure i can wait until the 15th!! don't worry about your scan it'll be the answers you need and you can plan from there. you never know, this month may be the month for you anyway

Nelix im very impressed at how well you know your body! i'd never know that much about my body.

Oh how hard is the 2ww???!!!
im so impatient.

Oh heeby a dream like that is probably to be expected given everything.....its that human thing called Hope and we can't shake it! I have random dreams all the time lol!

wanabe when do you think you will test? can you not logically test right in the middle of when you think AF is due?.....the 15ths is awfully far away and another BFP would be fab!!!!!I am totally the devils advocate

Hey Nelix, i was thinking i would do that, which would be around the 10th. Thats more bearable!!
I'm sure you are the devil's advocate! Maybe you will be another BFP this month? Will be fastly approaching the "due in May" thread

I'm so excited but nervous at the same time because if i get a BFN this time i really don't know what i will do. I honestly cant do anything any better. We have been TTC every night (young stamina! TMI ) and i've been eating properly, staying away from alcohol as much as possible, taking folic acid and even drinking bloody grapefruit juice lol so i know im going to be devastated if it's BFN . Oh dear, dilema!

AbstractMouse, CD5 AF due ??
MakingaFamily, CD14, AF due ??
Deanychip??

Sparky BFP!!!!
MyLittleBubble, AF due 10th Sept?
Heebychick, AF due 10th Sept
Funtime, AF due 13 Sep
Jools1, AF due 17/18 Sept
Yellowflowers, AF due 19/20 Sept
Nelix AF due 16 sep (ish)

Speaking of weird and vivid dreams heeby, i dreamt on the weekend that I was trying to breastfeed my baby but she wouldn't suck! how scary is that? The only thing was i couldn't see her face. weird! but to be expected seems as it is on the brain 24/7!

Morning all !

Very quiet in here at the mo - everyone happy BD'ing I guess I hope all is well...

Last night was a non-starter for me aswell - DP was in a foul mood and decided to watch a film till after midnight so I had to give up and go to bed

This has been the first cycle where I've looked for EWCM and I seem to have had it for a long time, so am wondering if I misinterpreted what I was seeing on Fri / Sat as I'm sure you shouldn't normally get EWCM for more than 5 days, at age 38 !!

No OV pains yet, so hopefully I'm still in with a chance. I developed a theory last night actually - last cycle, and two cycles before that, I felt and recorded OV on CD 15 or 16. Every other cycle, it is beginning to look as if I don't feel it at all ? So, do I only feel the egg coming out of one side I wonder ?

Makes me a little hopeful, as 2 cycles ago, we only BD'd once on CD15 and I at least conceived (BFP 4 days early, followed by a really heavy "AF" 2 days before she was really due) Maybe that is my lucky side !

Hey Jools, sounds promising! maybe you will be able to plan better if it is every other month. At least you managed to conceive last time so that's something to look into more?!

Yes it is quiet on here, seems like it's only me! the last couple of entries anyway. Either busy bees or just taking a break!

yep it is VERY quiet....I wanna know how heeby gets on with her scan, so hopefully she can let us know
I guess for most of us its the waiting game now huh!......2 weeks is awfully long.....

Hello!

I came on here this morning quickly but saw that you were all still sleepin so thought i'd check in now.

Off for the scan later, feel in 2 minds about it, had a lot of pain in my right side and lower back last night so am pleased not to have to wait any longer, but am nervous in case they find something weird or in fact nothing at all, then where will i be? all this sickness and pains for nowt. Anyhow i promise to come on after DD is in bed to update you all if there is anything to tell.

nelix how are you feeling today? trying not to symptom spot??

jools oh hun sorry you're having a rough time of it, but maybe like you say you haven't OV'd this month? yet or at all? i'm not that sure on the EWCM topic as didn't get much this month at all, but then i'm in a different situation than you guys i guess.

Can i just say that this is such a great thread, i feel part of a lovely close support group and it really has helped me get through some things and i'm sure will continue to do so xx

Hey all - sorry I'm quiet; have guests staying with us so can only check in at work!!

Jools - fingers crossed hon...I don't always feel OV at all. In fact, if I did, I never noticed before my MC.

Heeby - good luck this afternoon, do you know if you'll get some answers today, or will they do a report for the docs? Do you see a doctor as well today?

Is everyone on the 2ww now? Nelix how are you doing? Wanabe have you set a deadline for testing?!

Still ok at my end....although am now obsessing about tests! Had to do another one today, and have decided that conception indicator thing is a BAD idea! Although was v pleased to see that my indicator has moved up a level which I'm guessing is showing the hormones are increasing....which can surely only be a good sign? Panic, panic, panic. And still no other real symptoms.....

Hope it all goes well Heeby and you get some answers.

I WAS up early, but had to go for my first physiotherapy appt at the hospital - I've got back problems that have prevented me sleeping through the night for quite a while now and today was the first appt after being referred mid May

Sparky - glad to see the sticks are still saying the right things

Possibly tmi but I'm working from home today and decided to try and suss out the cervix position so I can enter that on Fertility Friend aswell - picture the scene - me in my loft conversion study, cats curled up by the radiator, looking on curiously, the correct info page of Fertility Friend open in front of me and ..... well you can picture the rest yourself - then the postie knocked on the door and I nearly did myself a permanent mischief trying to rearrange my clothing and run down 2 flights of stairs !!!!!
