when it comes to those lovely lines on thr ovulation test to indicate u need to get down to businesses!!! my hubby gets 'stage fright' im getting quite stressed about it!!! any other day he cant get enough which really pisses me off!!! this month I had pain on the actual day of ovu I think but the day before I had faint lines and it took nearly 4 hours to get to his end of the deal!!! im getting so angry at him amd feel so bad!! anyone else had this???

StoneBaby · 11/07/2014 22:18

ridg what about not telling him that you're ov? It may take the stress away. My DH is the same but as he needs to take pills to help him, we are rarely spontanious.

How is everyone doing? Clomid kicking in for anyone yet? I'm on day 11 now the shagathon has begun once more... month 24....

Any signs Kurama? Not that I'm encouraging you to symptom spot.. fingers crossed for you.

kurama · 14/07/2014 20:55

annie still not much considering i've supposedly due on wed... cd30 today, still nothing on the boob front, they feel like normal. a few mood swings today and slightly higher that normal but not pre/during af standards...
nausea barely there today Sad which is surprising as eating breakfast made me sick on sun, but scoffing MacDonald today hasn't Blush still bfn this morn but still hopeful.
dh has been annoying today, telling me "i told you not to get your hopes up" then "well maybe you will have some good news for our aunt after she finishes race for life" POT/KETTLE anyone???!!!!
this looks painful Wink

StoneBaby · 14/07/2014 21:35

Oh my former cycle buddy kurama take it easy and tell DH what think of his comments. 2 weeks ago I told me DH that I was going to stop fertility treatment as it wasn't working (it was a low day) he brought me up then said that a break may do us good (aka no medication). His face was priceless when I told him that I had done 2 years of ttc without treatment and that obviously it did not work! Grrr men!!!

Thing is no matter what they say it will never be right as they can't promise to make it happen or make a miracle. I find I get on at DH alot.

kurama · 15/07/2014 08:37

I think they just don't realise how insensitive they are being sometimes. And they don't understand how difficult it is for us to have to face af every month. No matter how hard we try not too I always end up getting my hopes up.

ridgway28 · 15/07/2014 10:12

cd20 today serve pain last night lower down. like some tightning a belt... dh just snored and snored. shattered today..... blood test tomorrow to see if obulation has accured. not hopeful!!!

ridgway28 · 15/07/2014 17:09

StoneBaby · 15/07/2014 21:57

Oh ridgway. How are you?

OP posts:
ridgway28 · 15/07/2014 22:17

feel like s@#t dr basically told me to suck it up snd get on with it. what do I expect having extra hormone pumped in me Sad

kurama · 15/07/2014 22:29

Ridgway that sucks! Stupid doctor should be helping you not being a twunt!!!Hmm If it's still bad today go to hosp. It could be a cyst twisting or starting to rupture. And that's agony! Hope u feel better soon.

ridgway28 · 16/07/2014 08:40

I no I shouldnt but I had some codien last night and managed a good night sleep. feel crap but not as bad. having a blood test this morning for day 21. am I right in thinking if I was going to ovulate I would have done it by now?? I think I have but I also think I missed it x

kurama · 16/07/2014 12:36

you should have ovd by now. I take painkillers to be able to sleep sometimes.
im cd 31 bfn again but no sign of af yet either Angry

StoneBaby · 16/07/2014 19:22

Ridgway. On clomid and cd 21 you should have ov. I'm on injections and did not ov before cd25 if it happened. Have you tried nurofen Period? It does the trick for me!

kurama poor thing

OP posts:
ridgway28 · 16/07/2014 21:16

nurfen period whats that... I think I have been doing the ov test wrong lol. should they be midstream? I have pain on cd11/12 but dtd on day 10/13 so think I missed outSad I was in too much to dtd. and now pain againSad Sad getting sick of it now. is it always like this??

hows everyone else any good news on colmid xxx

StoneBaby · 16/07/2014 21:52

My pains/crampings while on clomid started around cd21 with cd28 been very bad and all pains gone on cd29 when af was arriving.

Could you see another gp as yours sounds very anti fertility treatment!?

OP posts:
AnnieHoo · 16/07/2014 22:26

Ridgway your pain sounds bad. I never had pain with Clomid, just twinges in ovaries days 6-9.

Your pain could be unrelated to fertility treatment like your appendix or something. I hope not but you've got the right to get it investigated properly. Don't be put off by that crap GP.

Get yourself a pee cup! I just use a Tupperware cup to pee in and keep it in the bathroom cupboard. I stick bleach in it to clean it. Easier to dip the ov tests into.

Have you noticed any other signs of ovulation like blobs of cervical mucus during your cycle?
