Twenties ttc -- all aboard!!!!!

[seanybosmummy]

Hey girls here's the new thread

Hi ray, im so glad everything went ok, you're right to relax and get some rest.
ps Enjoy the guilt trip while you can lol xx

bubble i agree with ray, you should test just to be on the safe side. You never know, your blood tests could have been wrong or done at the wrong time. you know how our bodies love to trick us, so there is always chance of an error being made..xx

whitty you sound pretty down in the dumps. Chin up xx

seany I reckon you've gotta have some will power to not symptom spot, easpecially since being on Mumsnet, as we're all t'd up with the knowledge of what to look out for

ray enjoy your rest time hun, is your daughter looking after you too? IME they are the best carers x

whitty I'm in your boat hun, try to hang on in there, My AF is due Sun/Mon and I'm going to TRY and hold out until Sun.

bubble excuse my ignorance to the blood test for ov, but can they miss it, or could you ov afterwards? HPTs are expensive though, I paid £11 for 2 FRs!!

I'm feeling ok today, still have pinky CM but no tummy cramps (thank goodness). You know, I don't think about all this when I am at work (except when I go the loo) (and lunchtime) (and when I order my decaf coffee) (oh and when my boss discusses my work schedule past Christmas)... Damn, I'm rubbish!
Right, find a new hobby, one that doesn't affect pregnancy, doh! I'm going to need sectioning!

HUGE

Well still in pain and no AF, officially the worlds moodiest person today.

angel what cd you on? sounds promising good luck for when you test on sun.

Seany i will try help you with the symptom spotting.

whitty hope your ok.

ray so glad that your ok. Hope you are resting and enjoying lots of naughty food

They can miss ovulation with the blood tests but i have had no thermal shift this cycle.
when i had my scan on day 15 my ovaries didnt have any follicles hence why the sonographer thought i had ovd already. when the blood test showed a progesterone level of 1 (cd20) then that proved i didnt ov when she said.
my cervix didnt actually come down until day 23 so technically i could of ovd on day 22 but still no thermal shift so nothing that proves ovulation.

If the pain doesnt get worse then i will test on monday. If it does then i will go to the dr about it.

im sorry bubble, you're head must be pickled at the mo with all that info to get your head round,and heres me trying to convince you to test [ashamed emoticon]

angel willpower is not something i have in abundance but i must admit i have been playing very on the 'ignorance is bliss' side this cycle and am determined to keep it this way...how soon is it relatively normal to symptom spot anyway? just out of curiosity I have no idea when i ovulated anyway so i have no way of keeping a record of symptoms dpo

How is everyone else doing?

Let's bring this baby to the top of the list again..!

Where are you ladies?
Have you all got lives and left me behind??

Hey angel sorry I had a busy stressful day...tired of these headaches...I think Im gaining weight guess...its all the ice cream Ive been devouring...how was ur day though? and how is everyone else

Updated the list...

Not so positive today, as my breasts are not so sensitive today and after BDing last night I had (Beware TMI) brownish CM. Not sure what this, putting it down to early AF symptoms so won't test until she's late

Good luck everyone testing soon!

Hi everyone,

angel don't give up hope just yet I don't know what that could have been, sounds weird tho

whitty headaches are a bummer, i had a constant headache for 3 days last weekend, its a PITA. Maybe its a sign of other things happening in your body

bubble how are you feeling today?

ray are you doing ok?

rtuff hows things going for you?

Seany Hi not doing so great today am feeling very emotional and that life is very unfair. I kinda just want to skip ahead 2-3 weeks so that i know i am doing something useful, we have also decided to go on holiday in the first week of june so hoping that will take my mind off things. Infact what i realy want is to fast forward to the point when i am like 37 weeks pg and about to have a baby so all this is over and i am past all the major hurdles. Tis just not going to happen though is it?

awww ray im sorry you're feeling so bad. I wish there was something i could say to make you feel better. You have been through such a tough time and i think a holiday will be just what you need at the minute.
No woman should have to go through what you did. life can really deal some hard blows but i do understand what you mean when you say you want to fast forward.if only it was that easy.
Try to stay positive, you have a lot to be thankful for, you have a beautiful healthy daughter and she WILL have a little brother or sister soon-im sure of it xxxxx

Hi girls!

how are you all?

ray > im hope your feeling better today.

seany how is the no symptom spotting goin?

Anyone due to test soon?

Still no AF. didnt go to the dr thursday either. i am going to wait until after my holiday and go then if AF still hasnt shown up. I think a few weeks of not worrying is what i need. Then i will go and try and get everything sorted.

thanks Seany, I can so relate to ray at the moment, it's a shit having to go through what we go through, and I haven't it even half as hard as ray.
Ray keep smiling chicka, things will be right for you soon enough, you'll see x

Hi everyone,

Are you going anywhere nice bubble? You're right a few weeks of not worrying can only have a positive result. Make the most of it xxx

I am doing very well at the no symptom spotting! Havent really had time to anyway as my ds hasnt been too well today, and ive also had another headache.

Just sitting here waiting on dp coming back with my indian takeaway

Speaking of headaches, how has yours been whitty?

seany hope your ds is feeling better now. I am sending you a gold star for you to wear as a reward for your restraint

we are going to devon for a week. really looking forwrd to it as its our first holiday as just me DH and the boys. normally we take my nan and grandad and its really hard work with 2 in their 80s and 2 kiddies.

Im also going to stay with my aunt in cyprus for a week just to unwind and get my head together but thats not til september.
Dh will be staying home (as he has been away with friends a few times) so I thought i would take ds1 with me and leave ds2 with DH. Do you think thats horrible?
I thought i would take ds2 next year. Its just they are in their 60s and dont have kids of their own so not understanding with noise and mess IYKWIM?
I have never spent a night away from ds2 and am worried i will miss him or he will miss me etc.

Hey all Ive been MIA for the weekend...my headaches are gone...no other symptoms my temp is up..but I dont trust that either...

I feel like Im never going to get pregnant...I guess today is one of those down days for me. Idk my emotions are getting the best of me, yesterday I was so indecisive the lovely fiance kept asking what I wanted to do and I would get mad..now I wanna cry.

He will be gone soon so this was our last month... anywho how is everyone today

Less than 1 week to go now for AF (if i've got my predictions rights with my irregular cycles) Feeling really really tired today .... is that a symptom?? Ive had period type pains last week... and really starting to symptom stop, if you didn't notice already!! Also had my "21 day" progesterone bloodtest again this month so hopefully, fngers crossed i got the right day this time!

When do you get the results from your 21 day test rtuff?

I was going to update the cd list but couldnt be annoyed reading back to see when it was last updated.

Thanks bubble
Don't think your being horrible- it would be a handful 2 look after 2 kids on a foreign hol on your own.

whitty how long have you been temping for? you must know your pattern pretty well by now. I don't know if i could be annoyed with all that, it would just make me more obsessive than i already am.

Hows everyone else?

angel are you still getting all the weird symptoms?

Has anyone seen the size of the graduate list on the Jan 2010 bus? Its huge!

seany I know my temps way to well..that I rarely even check it...its another one of those unreliable sources. I just bd this whole month because I dont trust opk's and temping, and the ovulation calendars since my cycle has been kind of crazy will see and I was going to update the list to...but just was like blahhhh

I've was going to do the list too but i thought the same as you guys!

Shall we just start a new one?

TTC#2 Cycle 12 UCL 30 CD 25

I should get my results back on Wednesday or maybe tomorrow if i'm lucky...

Is it possible to get a +ive on an opk and still not ovulate?

Whitty ttc #1 ucl 28-37 cd 20 dpo 5, rtuff I'm not sure if thats possible, but thats one of the reasons I dont use OPK's..good luck with your results.

Hey girls,

Here we go again:

Bubblebell1 TTC#3 Cycle 5 UCL?? CD36
AngelFairy TT#1 Cycle 2 UCL 28-30 CD29

Joy27: TTC#1 - On Sabbatical
Everysinglestar: TTC#1 WAITING TIL JULY

Hope this is all right!

Good luck for wed rtuff

Im not sure about the opks-i wouldnt trust them as far as i could throw them (but maybe thats cause i didnt get a +ve when i used them a few mths ago so i ditched them), but i dont think you would get a +ve and then not ov.

Im not at work today because ds has an ear infection, so im online looking for a cheap holiday somewhere nice at the end of the month or sometime in june,as dp has decided he would like us to get away somewhere.

I cant get rid of this stupid headache that i keep getting, its making me really tired and is very annoying.

HOw everyone else doing today?

Hey seany Im planning a nice vacay too...any suggestions? Im at work I think I might have an ear infection myself honestly.

I'm off on holiday in 2 weeks! Yey can't wait! Off to sunny (hopefully) spain and then In July we're off to Very Sunny and Very hot Dubai!

Its always nice to have a holiday to look forward to and also tend to forget about this TTC business whilst soaking up the sun and running after DS!

Seany I too have one of those really annoying headaches that seem to completely zapp all energy! But i have the joy of sainsbury to look forward to or not...

Hi girls!

how are you all?

rtuff in answer to your question re OPKs.... Yes, it is possible to get + and not ov.

seany i hope your ds is feeling better soon. how is your head today? find a nice holiday?

*Still no AF

Hey all hope today will be a good day...as of right now im really mean...cried last nite bout everything and today I just dont want to be bothered. Hope everyone is well
