Lovely lovely gynie specialist managed to whip out my Mirena (went astray, have posted before) without needing a GA (or three month wait for one) so am now officially TTC!

This (hopefully) will be my second DC, and am planning to use Persona to get to know my cycle a bit.

Is there a board I can join? Feel a bit weird about just jumping on to those great long boards where everyone knows each other...

stillfrazzled-hope you are feeling better soon and BFP!

Congrats bigbird
Well, my MIL has had to go back into hospital, I'm due to OV this weekend, and probably won't see DH at all, as he's working on saturday, then will be travelling backwards and forwards to hospital
If it's anything like last time, she could be in for 2 or 3 months, so I'm probably out of the running for a while.
Hope the rest of you get BFP's really really soon

BrokenBananaTantrum · 02/10/2009 10:45

Yay I've managed to get an appointment to have my implant removed on Tuesday instead of having to wait three more weeks

bigbird29 · 02/10/2009 11:01

congrats! not long now! x

BrokenBananaTantrum · 02/10/2009 12:42

thanks BigBird. how are you feeling?

tiffanys · 02/10/2009 15:51

Hi all

Well af got me yesterday so im out of rubnning this month. One good thing is that I at least now know a rough cycle length so not all bad!

bigbird - how are you feeling? any symptoms yet?

any updates from anyone??

girlsyearapart · 02/10/2009 16:07

nothing here yet but not much bedroom action either so not suprised.
feel just like normal and have been drinking tea which i couldn't stomach with the dds.

never mind tiff- there's always next month!

bigbird29 · 02/10/2009 16:22

sorry tiffanys- do you use an ovulation kit? I roughly worked out my cycle knew when I was kinda due to ovulate on the actual day of ovulation there tended to be more vag discharge and then I knew to test and basically lots of baby dancing, I didn't put a pillow under me bum but didn't bath for 12 hours after! Sorry if too much details!lol,

I'm feeling fine at mo I was sick as a dog on 1st ds but so far so good just very tired and eating like a pig 2nds and 3rds! I defo didn't eat this much last time but probably cos I was so ill!Boobs are sore can't sleep on my front for long it hurts after a while!

Only told my sister and boss so far want to wait to see midwife first and have the heartbeat checkup before I announce to anyone.

nymphadora · 02/10/2009 21:03

Am getting drawn to pg tests on day 24 so when should I start? No sign of pmt which is good as I even had a version of it on the pill! But am tending toward eriod rather than preg but no def symptoms either way!

tiffanys · 03/10/2009 07:29

bigbird im so excited for you! keep us updated! i remember the tiredness very well but definately all worth it!

I'm not using any ovulation kits yet.... dh and I are going to try without them for a while, with my dd we didnt use then for 6 months so would probably do the same if it takes that long, but i did try and work out ovulation from the ususal signs, pain in tummy , change in cm. dh and i also going to try and dtd more this month to!

nymphadora I would say to try and hold of testing until af due.... however, easier said than done as i tested well before af due this month ... and got the bfn

keeping my fingers crossed for you.... let us know if you test. good luck!

nymphadora · 03/10/2009 07:33

I gave in woke up after a really vivid dream where I was testing got -ve in real life but am ok about it atm

girlsyearapart · 03/10/2009 07:48

That's a shame nymph.

With both my dds I tested after dreaming I was pg.

stillfrazzled · 03/10/2009 09:34

I got another -ve this morning but I'm still not bleeding. Urgh. Know it's nearly impossible that I'm pg, but don't feel right about having a glass of wine or a Lemsip (both most necessary with the cold I've had this week ) and more importantly, can't start TTC for real...

OP posts:
bigbird29 · 03/10/2009 10:15

stillfrazzled have you passed your due af?
nymph-I got a -ve on my first test as it was too early then waited 3 more days and got a faint line.

NichyNoo · 03/10/2009 10:21

Congrats bigbird!

I tested this morning and got a BFN

It is 2 days before AF is due but I've got a friend's birthday party tonight and wanted to know if I could drink. I got one of those super-duper Clearblue Digital and I definitely don't feel pregnant. So lots of red wine for me tonight

nymphadora · 03/10/2009 10:31

nichynoo think that's one of those times you find out 2 weeks later you are preg! Guzzle the wine it may bode well!

I don't know when it's due to start, that's the problem. Would swear I ov'd Tuesday fortnight ago, day before Mirena removed.

If I had, would expect to bled by now, and I haven't. But then I've no idea what should be happening. Have vague memory of a small bleed two weeks after the last one was removed, but TBH am not sure...

Maybe I was mistaken about the EWCM, but was definitely clear and stretchy.

HKT · 03/10/2009 12:05

Dh has come up trumps with trying this time, even though he's knackered! But I've come down with a stinking cold - does anyone know if this would stop me conceiving? Cos if I'm unlikely to when ill, I'd quite like an early night tonight (a sleep early night, not a doing the dirty early night!)

Also, other thing that someone might know - is it possible to OV earlier than you think it should happen, cos going by EWCM (I don't even know what this stands for, but think this is what I mean) it is looking like that time - bit confused, shouldn't be for 3 or 4 days

imkeepingmum · 03/10/2009 14:57

Congratulations bigbird!

HKT sorry I can't answer your question I don't even know when or if I myself am ovulating (but should be somewhere in the window of between last Monday and next Friday...!)

Ticklepeanut · 04/10/2009 10:29

I'm back from my hols. Not as enjoyable as I'd hoped, as my lovely cat Raff got run over on the main road the day before we went

Welcome all new people to this thread and congratulations bigbird !

I'm in limbo - three BFNs since I last updated, and no further pg symptoms, but as yet no sign of AF either, at approx cycle day 38 - what's she up to?

CSparks · 04/10/2009 10:44

Hello everyone.

im really after lots of advise.. first time on here,nd not sure of all the abbreviations! lol.

im lead to believe i have POCS,i havent had a period for 2years,so they have me provera.which i took for 10 days and hav my period on the 14th day!
im on day 12 of my cycle(never been so exited to have 1!!lol)and took 100mg clomid,ive also been taking metrofomin 1500mg,i had an internal scan on friday, 1st 1 and said that my folicals are small,they are 6 she said they should be 18 or above to realse eggs(not sure if that mm or what)
to be fair, i havent been given much advice and find it a little frustrating!

i was sick on the clomid. ive constantantly felt un energentic/tired since taken medication.(im genreally quite energentic gym person)just fell like want to curl up on the sofa every day!also feeling dizzy.and was getting massive headaches.whcih have stopped now for a few days!

ive seen comments of here of people releaxing!!?? Gym or chill? lol

really open to loads of advise girlies. x

girlsyearapart · 04/10/2009 14:37

Hi CSparks.

Haven't got a clue about that as am a lucky duck who got pg twice v easily. Someone should be along to help you soon though.

I am of the gym preference anyway (with the chill afterwards)

BrokenBananaTantrum · 04/10/2009 17:38

Welcome CSparks. I'm sorry I can't answer your question as not had to experience clomid.

I hope someone can help soon.

I would go with chill but i'm lazy
