Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

I thought you were referencing igglepiggle too!

temping impossible to do without other half knowing I found but you could come up with another reason perhaps?

hi all, got to rush as we are going away for a couple of days in a min but just wanted to say sorry that everyone seems to be feeling down (don't think i helped!) hope we can feel more positive soon. have a good couple of days and good luck to anyone on 2ww.

Iggy - I;m with funtime on the bunny bit! No wonder you're worn out after that sort of schedule. I'd need a holiday after that. Interesting stats you posted. So far both my pregnancies have been concieved in my early 30's well before the 9 month average so I will take that as a positive!

Funtime - boo, hiss if your temperature readings mean a cold rather than being pg. I understand the desire not to have false hope but at the same time I still think its odd to have temperatures climbing that much for a cold. Perhaps it could be a combination of being ill and being pg? Given that every pregnancy alters your hormonal makeup to some degree its possible that symptoms would vary from your previous ones.

Yellow - do your duty!! It's rbbish when it feels like that I know but afterwards you'll be glad you made the effort!

Jools - on hon you sound so down. As far as I know ov sticks can't tell you if you are oving - they can just tell you that your body is releasing the hormone to make it try. I think the only way to know for sure is blood tests or scans but I'm not 100% sure. Please try and stay positive.

Well I had my 2nd session of therapy today. It was EFT which is like a kind of emotional acupuncture. I was cynical at first to be honest but I definitely feel better for having done it. It wasn't just my mc that needed to be discussed it was also the rather traumatic birth of my ds. Suffice to say it wasn't as relaxing as the last session but it helped me fdeel somehow lighter, like all the anger and fear and sadness surrounding both issues had gone.

I have one more session booked to program lots of positive feelings around ttc then I'm done!

ive developed a craving for soft mints today! i dont know if its too early or not but some thing feels diff this month- we bd every day since day 8 or 9. is it too early to have symtoems relating to pregnancy? im on day 19 btw

ive been feeling hotter alot recently usually im always cold but past few days ive been hot all the time

Oh wasabi don't be cruel, my boobs have started hurting now in hope !

Kyte - Welcome! Are to ttc#1?

Hi ladies,

Just checking in... I wrote a long post last night but it's disappeared somewhere!

Amongst other things, I wanted to say good luck to flintski, excited hopeful wibes to funtime, happy AF departure to Jools and welcome on the 2ww to yellow.

Also, I can't remember who asked (I think it's the scrolling back that gets my posts disappearing) but a) We're on month 4 of TTC. (Well, came off the pill in November.) and b) I've cut down on drinking, but by no means stopped. I have a glass or two of wine on Fri and Sat nights and perhaps a cheeky 1/2 pint on one night in the week.

Nothing much to report in camp Broodzilla. I got really excited as I had a very sharp temp dip for one day (which should be good news) until it dipped again the day after that, and now it's hovering around 35C. WTF??
I'm 9DPO so should actually be having high(er) temps now regardless of whether or not I'm preggo.

FF has given us 47 points (out of 100) on the likelyhood of a BFP this month. I flipped a coin last night to see how lucky I was, and can you believe it, it took me EIGHT!!! flips to get heads. EIGHT! It's a bloody coin, I should get every other, right?

(Am starting to think the TTC is making me doolally...)

I'm going away for 2 weeks for work and have decided to POAS tomorrow AM. I know it's way, way too early, but I hate the thought of ending the 2ww half way across the world from DH.

Ummm... and... I will be adding yet another thing to the TTC regime. Aspirin. It seems to be beneficial (in SMALL doses) while TTC.
Also, funtime you might want to look into it as it's supposed to be especially good for people with recurring MCs?

I usually pop one before I get on a long-haul flight anyway, so I figured I might as well keep taking them at least until the 2ww is over.

I've got to go and rescue my hot cross buns from the toaster...

Evening all,

I just have to confess to losing all willpower tonight and doing a pregnancy test - no idea why, as it's still early and not even FMU etc - I was just powerless when I got home and unfortunately there was one in the bathroom.

Needless to say, it was a BFN, lol! Why do I do these things sigh

Anyway - I will not do another one, until AF is deffo late.

funtime it's not over yet, your temp is still up even if not as high as during the last week. I'm at the point now where mine could drop any day - it usually goes down to about 36.3 and then AF turns up the next day. I find this temping business quite fascinating, I wish I knew about it years ago, it would have made life easier knowing exactly the day before my period started instead of only knowing the nearest week!

iggy I am very impressed with your BD stats, definitely something that I will have to work towards! DH and I always seem to run out of steam at the most crucial time, so must try harder next month.

Hello to kyte

btw - is anyone here using preseed? Think I will be ordering some if not successful this month.

Hi kyte, I know you can get it from Amazon, but dunno if that is cheapest etc?

Whatsfortea - slapped wrist for you young lady. We've all been there - several times in my case.

Funtime - the boobs never lie! If its any comfort I've started imagining various things as well - so much for me never symptom spotting. My sense of smell is definitely stronger than it ususally is post ov. However, that could be down to progesterone levels being higher than usual post mc. As could the mild crampy pain I had last night and this morning.

Welcome Kyte - nice to meet you. Other ladies on here are waaaaay more knowledgable than me on temping so I will let one of them explain it all. All I know is that it goes up post ov!

Hello everyone

Welcome Kyte

Wasabi that sounds positive.

broodzilla might try the asprin for my AF to. I have never had one like this before! Ouch.

whatsfortea i think C1ndy used preseed and she is expecting in october!

I also caved in this morning (11 dpo) and did an ultra-sensitive t'internet cheapie test this morning (1st wee) and got a BFN. Something would have shown up on such a low test by this time, so I'm expecting the witch to appear this weekend.

Wasabi - I've just started taking low-dose (75mg) aspirin as it was flagged up at my appointment as possibly being of benefit, although the jury is still out amongst the medical profession.

However, it's not good for everyone and shouldn't be taken if you've any history of stomach problems or excessive bleeding. Worth checking with a doctor before taking it if you're vegetarian, as your blood might be slightly thinner anyway than that of a meat-eater (iron in a meat-protein rich diet).

Think I might go and raid the fridge now .

hi kyte and scorpio funtime - too early to be a definite no.

You may have seen from the other threads I've been posting asking about symptoms - something is afoot with me. I have been getting indigestion after eating, constipation, weird ache in lower back extending into leg a bit yesterday, slightly odd feeling in boobs and am now feeling sick. However temp was not particularly high this morning (36.45 from coverline of 36.24) so probably not pregnant at all. PLus FF moved ovulation day when I input temp this am so now says I am only 4dpo not 6 as I thought. Also I slept very badly last night which may be why I feel a bit sick and werid now.

funtime damn witch! And i have IBS so perhaps i will pass on the ole asprin.

yellow when can you test? Sounds interesting

Funtime don't give up just yet. I had a BFN on 11DPO and got my BFP on 13DPO so you never know! Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you

Funtime I'm sorry to hear about the BFN and I do see your point that if you were 11 days post ov it should be showing up by now. Is it possible that having a cold delayed ovulation? It might have interfered with temps so you may not have known.

Yellow - ooh ooh ooh am getting most excited on your behalf. Indigestion, constipation, wierd aches in lowr body are all good symptoms! Why did FF move your ov day? Dod you sleep badly because you had loads of crazy dreams? That always heppnens to me in the 2WW - it doesn't disrupt my sleep too much but it isn't nice to wake from a scary dream. I am lucky because I can drop off again quickly.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

hi wasabi - don't remember weird dreams and not sure why bad sleep lasty night. Not sure why ff changed date either except didn't take temp yesterday but there were 3 days of rises then day of no temp then today it was a dip but still above coverline and it changed date - can't work it out though.

Hmmm, maybe you just confused it because of the missed day.

wasabi - thanks for the continued optimism ! I know for sure that I've ov'd around 18th/19th this month as the dip was clear and I got a +ve ov. test but I might actually be only 9 or 10 dpo if, as you say I ov'd a little later, say late on the 19th. The main stumbling block is that I just don't feel pregnant, which I have for all but the cp.

Yellow - I sometimes get nausea, headaches and random aches a few days after ov? Single dips above the coverline, in isolation, don't mean much by themselves. Wait to see what tomorrow's temp is, but don't get hung up about it or you'll sleep badly and get a wonky reading anyway (I do, at least ). Keep us posted.

I have veiny boobs this evening! On the other hand at 4dpo (as ff says) or even 6dpoas I thought before ff changed dates,would be too early for that. Probably all in the mind though dh very bemused when I made him look atthe veins on my tits!
