Well, my previous cycle buddies did a grand job of cheering one another up through the last 2ww....and I'm the first, and hopefully, only one out.
Anyone else want to obsess symptons away this month. I expect to Ov around 27th/28th, although when to test will be somewhat guess work as I have a Luteal phase defect to try and correct in the meantime!
Come join the party (Ok - of 1 person at the mo!) :dohh: :rofl:

So even though you might beat me to Ovulation we can be cydcle buddies in the meanwhile :)

:witch:just starting to show her face today after being 12 days late (was also 8 days late last cycle, before that completely regular, been off bcp for over a year, so who knows what the hell is going on with my body at the mo and why it's suddenly started playing up!!).
My plan for this cycle is to go into OV stick overdrive, in a desperate attempt to try and see what's happening!
Celine - i am the same as you! Every month when :witch:arrives i just want to cry and cry. Today though - feel on :cloud9:!!! So happy the old hag has finally got me!!

i'm planning my BBT charting for this month - just waiting for Thermometer to arrive.
Aparently if i do have PCOS then some brands of o tests don't work (CBFM says not suitable for women with PCOS) I do have some stick tests i might try - but they sound complicated - need to let sample get to room temperature etc before testing sounds like it's going to take ages.

How yawnsville is CD2?!! I'm bored already!
What CD are you guys due to Ov? Lets countdown to that!!!
My cycles have gone bonkers so i could be anywhere between CD 19 and CD 33. I shall be using a vast quantity of OV sticks this month to work it out!
Was reading this morning about someone who had got pg from bd-ing on CD 2 actually.... very interesting.... apparently its relatively common to ovulate during your AF. Any takers to try this out?? My DH would run for the hills if i suggested this!!!!! :rofl::rofl:!!!

He will be glad of the rest by the end of this cycle as, I am determind to get a :bfp: so we will be BDing everyday from CD6 onwards:rofl::rofl:

i can just imagine the headlines........ Half naked girl found eaten by a bear.
Speaking of headlines...I just saw on some news show..maybe not true but....they showed a video of a 14lb 2 day old in Cancun mexico.....i think they nick name him " super Antonio" or mucho grande!!!!!

had him laying next to a regular sized newborn..holy moly..I didn't want to post that news in any preggo threads.......scare the 3rd tri girls.

Answering questions from Shmoo75 and Coffee...
The Witch moved out today and this was first AF after MC so before my cycles were cd 31 but I just started charting my temps yesterday and I'm planning to pay REAL close attention to the other stuff to and time it just right but I don't know yet what day that will be. OH is going out of town and i told him he had to be back by the 21st in case I'm now on a 28 day cycle!!!
Coffee: I have two little ones and started trying in January. I got prego after my May 12th period but MC at 7w5d. Tried right after to get prego but no luck :( Hoping this is my month. So not trying too too long, but it still feels long to me. THis was my 3rd MC but I do have two beautiful babies!!!

I've been TTC since April this yr, I fell straight away but I had a m/c end of may when is was 7wks+4days. This is my 2nd visit from :witch: since my m/c. 1st was a 34 day cycle and the last one was 42 days. I really hope they start going back to a more normal 28days this is why I am charting my temps from this cycle onwards so I have more of an idea when I OV and stuff.

This is my 3rd month actively TTC and about our 6th 'not avoiding', but I think I was havng annovulatory bleeds for the first 2 or 3 cycles. I'm blessed to have a beautiful daughter already, but she would make a great big sis, so hoping and praying for my BFP soon.

Perversely enough, I actually thoroughly enjoyed my 24 hour labour stint and even the C-sec, and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. At the time, i wasn't really aware (bit too much entonox probably!) how much a problem it all could have become, and they were initally going to try forceps (which i am really squeamish about) when DD's heartbeat suddenly dropped, so they opted for a C-sec immediately. Thankfully, I'd just agreed to an epidural as the pain was getting unbearable at that point (she was putting a lot of pressure on my lower spine due to her being back to front) and if I hadn't of had that I'd have to have been crashed out with a GA, and missed her birth.
The funniest story I heard though was about a woman who was in a similar situation to me....she'd tried to give birth naturally, the baby had got stuck part way down, couldn't go forward, couldn't go back, so they went for C-sec.. Apparently the midwife had her hand one end pushing the baby back into the uterus for the surgeon, to lift the baby out through abdomen, and her husband could actually see the midwifes hand pushing the baby....through the incision in her abdomen, and almost hand the baby to the surgeon that way....Eeeew!

Hello girls
I've been ttc for 2 months now after miscarrying an accidental pregnancy in June. My other half is not tcc but he isn't 'avoiding' (I'm going to steal your phrase Lyns!). Haha. I think it's the most I can hope for. I know he will be over the moon when it happens but the less talking about it and planning the better as far as he is concerned. I'm now on CD7 and we are going to be in Italy for the weekend when I am due to O. So lots of quiet BDing at my OH's Auntie's house! I'm also going to have a problem using opk when i am there so I'm aiming to get it in whenever I can. So to speak.
I hope everyone else is getting ready to start in a couple of days!

I went to order some cheapies from ebay but I don't have any money to be spending on it all but of course now I'm regretting not buying them. So maybe I'll try this month with out them and if I don't get preggers I'll be armed and dangerous for next month. Good luck Celine!

am nervous to get the bding started, since I o quite late Im scared to run out of steam by then!
Aww keep your chin up Celine! I have late Ov too. Well, i *think* i do! I was 2 weeks late for AF last cycle, so my ticker saying "11 days to ovulation" is probably wrong, and it could be more like 25 days to ov for me yet! We can Ov late together if you want??!! (although knowing my stupid body, i'll prob Ov mega early this cycle, just to confuse things even more!!).

Hey ladies well i am out!
I've gotta stop TTC for 3 months.
DH has been on these pills for his hairloss and they can cause abnormalities which we didn't know about so doc said stop and wait for 3 months so they are flushed out of his system! Also my tests came back okay but DH has very low sperm count so we need to regroup and figure out what to do next!
I hope each and every one of you gets your :bfp: by the time i back here in 3 months time! good luck! x

Oh I am really sorry to hear this hun. It will fly by though i am sure. As ChillB said, i guess it gives you some time to get stocked up on vitamins and get your bodies completely prepared and ready to start again!
By the way - I have just started taking Royal Jelly to hopefully help sort my fluctuating hormones out. I read that it can also improve men's sperm count so my DH has just started taking them too! Thought i would mention it to you as it might be worth a shot?!
Don't be a stranger! Let us know how you are going on!

Ok. right i couldnt wait until tomorrow so i did a Ic opk test today and there was nothinhg within the first minute of doing the test. the phone rang so i left the test in the bathroom and was only on the phone for 5 mins if that. when i went straight back into the bathroom to flush the test, cleary thinking to myself "you daft cow its too early to test yet of course there wont be another line there" when i got the shock of my life as there lo and behold was a faint line! it was within 6 mins in total and as i was out of the room it may have been there sooner but i didnt see it until i got back. what do you lovelies think? evap or could i indeed be getting ready to ovulate? my chart says i should ovulate tues as was cd1 aug 13th (last wed) but my ticker is saying wed. i am all confused. either way i qwill do another test later. am saving it up as we speak and not drinking too so i can test at 6pm ish and i was planning to start testing from tomorrow anyway. am all excited but want to know what you all think? AND HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING TODAY TOO? THANKS XXXXX

I'm doing well, think I'm starting towards my eggwhite but hoping OV holds off until hubby gets home Sat night!!!!! I posted in your other post, I"m no good with those sticks but I'm sure other ladies can help you and I'm going to use them too if they get here in the mail in the next few days so I better get a crash course real quick from somewhere! I used some earlier this year, first response, and there were two lines, one needed to be as dark or dark than the control (I think) but i just bought the cheapies and i dont know if they work the same way.......

Hey lovely cycle buddies!
I'm doing well too thanks. After 13 months of 'au naturel' other than my body 'telling me when' i've finally decided to give in and use OV sticks! I said i'd never do it, and now here i am! So poppy, we can try them out together if you like?! If it helps, i actually peed on one just before i got AF (for the hell of it as AF was so late and i got desperate!) and i got a faint line then which must have been 2 weeks after OV, so i think maybe on some you always get very faint lines whatever? (or our TTC eyes have automatically developed lines in front of our vision??!!). I haven't a clue when i'm going to ovulate this month, nor when AF will come, so i'm just going to 'wing it' and start using OV sticks this weekend i think and hope for the best!!
Oh well, my motto is, as long as i'm bd-ing, i'm always in with a chance!
poppielia
Aug 21st, 2008, 18:32 PM
yeah someone else in the main forum just dittoed that. it is the first time i have had 2 lines as i mucked about with a few last month while waiting for something to happen either a BFP or for Af to finaly make an appearence. i am going to carry on testing from now anyway so i can see how dark the lines get, i guess its a case of just having a go and seeing then if i am not lucky this cycle i will know more what i am doing for the next one. Glad you all ok and yep, its definitly an excuse to get plenty of:sex: in. yayyyyy! lol

Hey girls, nearly BD time and I'm in Italy for the weekend so I'll be seducing him with a belly full of pasta and er, wine. Well, it worked last time!
Yep, that's correct 12 August CD1 for me.
I'm going to start using OPKs tomorrow (CD11) but last month when I used then they didn't really work. I think this is because I drink far too much water. I got two faint pinks on CD13 and 14 and as I didn't get any other faint lines I took these as positives as my CM was about right as well. Poppielia, the test line is supposed to be darker than the control so it could be that you are nearly there but as I say, I never got a proper positive and I know that I ovulate. JJF, I think the main thing to remember is to use them late in the day and after three hours of not going to the loo. Hence mine alwayd buggered up!
I'm feeling positive this month - there are enough of us to get a couple of :bfp:s this month, a couple the month after.... I've just booked our holiday to Mallorca at the time I am due to o next cycle. Feeling lucky as the miscarried pregnancy was conceived in Amsterdam and I've got two :sex: sessions abroad coming up.
Happy POAS and :sex: everyone.
Fingers crossed for a May baby boom.

Yep i worry about this too lol. I cant realy help it as my appetite increases tenfold the week after Af has gone so ve have been BD'INg it a lot but i am worried we will both be too kanckered by the weekend which is when we need to go for it big time as i should be modt fertile then i was cd1 aug 13th by the way.
Just hope we can keep up the pace. i didnt realise those OPK'S were so complicated to use and decipher. i may look at buying something a bit more expensive and reliable soon me thinks unles we strike gold this cycle...Cmon girls lets here a shout out for some beautiful May babies.WOOP WOOP! lol

Ahhh we always peak too soon!! To be honest though, in my opinion, i can really see how TTC could easily really mess up your sexlife. I've often worried it could cause irrepairable damage as noone wants to start arguing about bd-ing!!! This time of the month i quite like - i feel full of optimism and good about myself and i know we are bd-ing cos we fancy each other like crazy and love each other like mad! So i would never stop or slow down the bd-ing at this time of the month as i feel its important for our relationship.
That said, we have often peaked by Ov and can't be bothered, but we just try and make the extra effort then - sauce it up a bit, if you know what i mean!!!! :rofl:
DH get's a rest when its Af time anyway!!!!! :rofl:

I'm glad it's not just me then!
It doesn't help that my OH's attitude towards TCC is 'it'll happen when it happens' rather than 'I've POAS, my temps are right, the date is right and I have EWCM LET'S DO IT!!!'. :happydance: So I feel I can't push him around o time which is frustrating. My plan is definitely to get him on the vino in Italy this weekend :rofl:
But we're like you Coffee, we're going through a really good phase, we love each other to bits and have been talking recently about marriage and our future in NZ where we are moving in a couple of years.

Morning (or should that be afternoon?!) cycle buddies.
Firstly, Littlestar - Good luck with the scan today. Let us know how you go on :hugs:
Well, we got a bit of practise in last night, iykwim!! :winkwink:
Can't decide when i should start POAS? My cycles have been so bonkers this last 2 or 3 months that part of me thinks it's pointless! To be honest ladies, i am starting to seriously suspect i have something wrong with me now... uh-oh! I *hate* doctors though so plan to give it a little bit longer before i go down that path. My thinking is: so what if they find out i have pcos or whatever else? It doesn't mean i can't have kids, it just means it makes it more difficult right? still in with a chance every month though and knowing exactly what might be wrong with you, doesn't suddenly increase your chances of getting pg does it?! I'm one of those weirdo people that would rather not know about any illnesses i might have! Anyway, its all guesswork on my part, so at the moment, i will live my life as though i am completely fertile and just go for it!
Halle - you lucky thing going to Italy! I am very jealous! Are you OV-ing this weekend then? Awww... you could conceive an Italy baby... how cool would that be?! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Halle71
Aug 22nd, 2008, 17:48 PM
Hi Coffee
Do you notice changes in your CM when you O? If so, maybe you could start POAS when you notice this change. It is likely that you have a couple of days before you O after the changes start. I think that's what I may do next time as I think I must use 3 or 4 more than I need to.
Yep, we're going to stay with my OH's Auntie and cousins near Genoa for the bank holiday and I am due to O on Monday/Tuesday so my BD plan is tonight, Sunday Morning and Monday evening. That's roughly every two day some people recommend and I'll be lucky to get any more out of him :rofl:
I need a :bfp: soon - looking like there will be redundancies at work in the next 6 months and if I am pg it is unlikely (but still possible:() that it will be me. I will struggle to do the baby thing if I don't get maternity benefit as I earn quite a bit more than my OH. Whoops, this has turned into something for another thread!
Good luck Littlestar!
Have a great weekend girls

Update for you Ladies!
Had my scan today, got all clear - no sign of any cysts or anything that would explain lack of AF. Got a followup appointment with GP next week to see where we go from here, I suspect that now they've ruled out anything physical it'll be left to nature to pump up the hormones to get me working properly.
I'm still temping and got some IC OPKs on the go atm to see what info i can provide the GP.

Hey Girls-
So I'm totally confused, I got my nice EWCM yesterday mid day and by evening, it had turned into dryness and my ovaries were very tender last night, so I'm like, please tell me that wasn't all i have and I had 3 hours to get prego, haha. But my temp is still down this morning, dry all day until a few min ago when EWCM appears to have returned, YIPPIE! Funny part is I was on phone with OH telling him all about it (as if he isn't TIRED OF HEARING IT ALL!) and thats when the EWCM came back....wow, thats gotta be further investigated, haha.
Great thing about the EWCM leaving yesterday and returned today is it does give me some hope that it can all hold off until Tom night, yes I know, you all are tired of hear about how he is out of town until Sat night hehe, ALMOST HERE and time to bed like there is no tomorrow!!!!!!!
BTW, little disappointed that my new internet cheapies (great price here on baby and bump now) didn't make it here yet, maybe tomorrow...

Oh my goodness. Well this morning my CBFM jumped straight to peak/ovulation without even a high.
Hubby did indeed get immediately grabbed!
I can only put it down to the combination of VitB6 to lengthen my luteal pahse (I just sorta thought it would add a couple of days on the end rather than bring Ov forward) and the EPO....which certainly has increased my EWCM....the pre-seed was overkill to be honest, but we used it to make for a 'happy place' for :spermy: IYKWIM.
Woohoo...I'm surprised but happy! C'mon eggy'!

Hi Girlies:hi:
It sounds like we all should OV at about the same time give or take a couple of days. I am hoping to OV Monday 25th or Tuesday 26th. I have some OV symptoms out break of spots on right hand side of neck and under chin, boobs are tender, on/off cramping pain which started last night and, I feel like I want to jump my DH at every opportunity!!! The last one is a new OV symptom as prior to my m/c I used to get really bad pains I might still get those by the looks of things. Oh well I'll have ab DH to grab DH later as he is still in bed with a headache as, he had far too much to drink last night:rofl::rofl: I was sober and driving so I am fine:rofl::rofl:

Littlestar - I know what you mean hun. Since my m/c at the end of May I have had a 34 & 42 day cycles in that order!!! They have gotten longer!!! My longest cycle was 42 days when I came off of BCP at the end of Feb then, I went into a 28day where I fell preggers. Hopefully I will now go back to a more normal and sensible 28 day cycle. If I don't fall this cycle as long as :witch: shows up on 08/09 i will be strangely happy as, it means back to a 28 day cycle.

Hey Ladies,
Sadly my OPK never arrived but hubby did get home Sat night and gave me a few rounds of swimmers, hehe. Strangest thing and I need some advice!!! I had some MAJOR EWCM on Sat before hubby got home and I was SO excited but it seems to come for a few hours and then I become dry again....is this normal??? From what I read in my book I'm thinking once it really gets here, it should be constant for x number of days until I ov and then i go dry...whats with the occasional Egg stuff and then dryness, help! My temps are still lower so I don't think I have Ov yet, which is good but guess that means I'm in for a longer cycle :( Before MC were 31 days, after MC was 37 days so guess I'm headed for a 30-? day cycle. I'm just gonna keep bedding until I get the higher temps since I can't figure out the eggwhite. Good luck to everyone who had a great weekend and especially those that ovulated!

Hiya girlies!
Hope you all had lovely weekends. We've just had a long bank holiday weekend so I've been away from here for 3 days.
I'm CD 15 and with you symptom s
I'm not 100% sure that I O'd last night or this morning because for some reason OPKs never work - I just get a faint line for 2 days around day 13/14. But today and for the last two days I've had EWCM and last night and this morning mild period type pains and stabbing lower abdomen pain and my cervix has been high and soft.
We've just spent the weekend in Italy with my OH's relatives and managed to BD (very quietly) yesterday morning and the morning before and we'll get another in tonight.
Keeping everything crossed for all of us this month.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!
Hx
This is going to be far, far TMI but has anybody ever noticed a cloudy substance (I presume semen) in otherwise clear EWCM after BDing? I had this yesterday which means although some must have got away it is doing it's job!

Funny you should mention it because yes I had similar. I also seem to have had (sorry also TMI) mixed types of CM....it was rather watery with lots of stretchy EWCM in it IYKWIM.
We did use Pre-seed too, so goodness knows what wss what!

Okay girls, I POAS OPK yesterday and the second line was very very very faint but then this morning my temp spiked, I so happy to see that spike because I was becoming very confused about the temps/dates/feelings in ovaries/EWCM disappearing at times etc. I've gotten a lot of bedding in and I think I'm going to go with the temps, which i hope don't like, and assume that I ov maybe 2 days ago on Sun since the cheapy POAS showed really nothing. Interested thing is todays is high temp is CD17, add 14 days, I'll be at CD31 which is the same cycle I was on for months before MC, so seems like body is returned to its previous cycle lenght, good to know!
How many of us have OV and are in the 2ww? Seems like Lyn is, Me,....we need to get our list together soon of where everyone is.
The 2ww is hard but its also good to know that is out of my hands now, I've done all I could do :)
JJF
Aug 26th, 2008, 19:38 PM
Forgot one thing...just remembered, I didn't know how to use the cheapy sticks and when I dipped the stick in my cup of pee (TMI) I only kept it in there about 15 seconds, so now that I think about it, had I left it in there the 30 seconds I just read someone keeps it in there for, that line may have been darker......who knows, ha..

hi lovelies i am on cd 14 today and should be ovulating today if i base it on a 28 day cycle. the problem is i have no ewcm, the cm is creamy instead and i have no symptoms so far. i started usng opks fri, thought they was all negative until i have looked at them all side by side when it was apparent that sundays was the darkest line of all. still not as darkas the control line but not far of it i would say. since the darker line sunday the tests have gotten fainter and fainter until i can barely see them so would that\ sound right to you girls if for example the test was in deed a positive opk on sunday? i am confused to be honest because i have no ovulation symptoms and creamy cm. We have been BD'ING it every day for the past 8 days so hopefuly we are gonna strike lucky at some point. the problem is i think i am now getting thrush from all the BD'ing we have gotten up to so i am feeling a little grotty because of that. any advice girlies? i could realy do with your help. its my first month using opk's and i am finding them a bit confusing. we not doing temps yet! may think about that at a later date. thanks xxxx

Sweetie, i have never got a line on an OPK anywhere near as dark as the control line. Now, I am using dipstick OPK's (internet Cheapies) and a CBFM and i am getting a completely positive reading of Ov on the CBFM, so depeding on what brand you are using, you may well find that even a smidgen of a line is all you get at Ov....despite the instructions!
JJF
Aug 27th, 2008, 03:40 AM
Poppielia-I was going to same the same thing about the OPK's...I just used one yesterday for the first time but my friend mentioned that her line NEVER gets as dark as the control line. She said she keeps them so she can compare them each day...thought that was a good suggestion.
Halle71
Aug 27th, 2008, 10:43 AM
I never get positives either and I use internet cheapies. I get a very, very faint line so I may just give uo now and use CM and cervix position to indicate ovulation as I think I can tell pretty well from that.
Although they do say you have LH in your body anyway so I guess if you go from nothing all month long to faint positives it must mean something.
Funny thing happened last night. We BD'd before sleeping and then, in the middle of the night I woke up to 'Sorry baby I'm too tired'. 'Huh?' I replied sleepily. Then I realised I had my hand on his 'bits' playing with them :rofl: Must have been having nice dreams!!!
Anyway, I think I'll be in the 2ww from tomorrow so I'll be on your list!

Sorry guys, I've completely lost my way and don't know where i am this cycle! I did an OV stick Monday (first time! whoop whoop!) and i got a faint-ish line. Did one yesterday and the line was even fainter. Now i'm confused!!! Shouldn't the line get progressively darker every day? Does this mean we've missed our chance? I don't get it!!!!!!!!!!! arrggghhhh!!!!! Based on my last cycle being 49 days and the one before that being 42 days, i didn't expect to OV for over a week or more yet?! (Although previous to these two stupid cycles i had always been a regular 33 day girl, so decided to start testing Monday to be on safe side in case my cycles went back to normal).
I'm so confuddled by this whole thing!!! 13 months TTC and i still haven't a clue what my body is doing! How can this be??!!!

Coffee I am SO sorry, I don't understand those sticks either, sounds like a lot of people are having trouble with them, eek. I think you said you DON"T do the temps, is that right. This is my first month doing them and I am LOVING it, I feel like I understand and have some part in this game rather than just spending my time in the bed, hahaha. I guess just keep doing the POAS OPK's maybe that faint wasn't right but your still due to get some lines later this week?
kittiekat
Aug 27th, 2008, 16:19 PM
Hi Coffee,
I don't get these sticks either yet. I started my over four weeks ago as I never seem to know when I will ovulate! Anyway to cut a long story short about two weeks I got a very thin but very dark line and thought that must have been my positive but it didn't quite add up with my CM or CP so I kept going with the OPK and the :sex:!! Yesterday I got the darkest line I have ever got so thought yet again that was it but low and behold today (day 35 for petes sake!) I got a darker line than the test line Woo Hooo!
What I am trying to say (in a very long winded way lol) is don't stop using them yet as you may not have got your true positive yet......... I have just bought a saliva testy thing and used it today and it has clearly showed a ferning effect which the book says is great! I haven't had any difficulty in seeing the ferning so may be u may want to have a try at using one of these. They are only around £20 and they are re-usable so you don't have to keep buying more sticks. Just a thought for next cycle if that BFP doesn't come your way this month, but fingers crossed you won't even need it!!
Coffee
Aug 27th, 2008, 16:20 PM
Awww, thanks guys, you're lovely!
Yeah, I shall keep at it with the sticks this week as i just don't believe it really!! This is why i haven't tried OV sticks or temps or anything before though cos i know what i am like and i knew i would just think "Pah! stupid stick is broken" and not take any notice!!! Hopefully it might be a bit darker when i test later on when i get home. I've not been too well these last few days (just a nasty cold) so wondering if that might have affected it all anyway as i've not really been eating and drinking as normal.
In over a year being off the pill my cycles have never been less than 33 days, so it would be pretty ironic if the one month i decided to start trying to track things it suddenly went mega short after two mega long cycles!! You've got to laugh huh??!! (well laugh or cry, i'm never quite sure so i think i'll just stick to laughing for now - if i start crying i might never stop!! ha ha!!)

Aug 28th, 2008, 03:04 AM
Okay girls, I can't believe I'm about to go out on this limb and say this...unlike me...but here goes.....so according to Fertility Friend (and I agree, hehe) I ov on CD16/Sunday the 24th so today I'm 3 dpo and my (TMI) nipples have been so tender today. I NEVER NEVER NEVER have sore nipples, not even during AF, before AF, etc. I know it is SO early for me to be saying things like that and talking about symptoms but the reason I'm excited about this is not only the obvious, I could be prego, but with my 3 MC babies I had minimal/next to nothing symptoms up until the MC's, so for me to have this prego sign, not only means I might be prego, it would mean that in my mind its a sticky one, a good pregnancy finally. (BTW, with my two children, during pregnancy I was sick as a dog and have nearly all the signs but none really with the 'bad' pregnancies).
Sorry that was so long, sorry to seem like a freak already talking about symptoms but just wanted to share :) Okay...back to reality!
JJF
Aug 28th, 2008, 03:43 AM
I was just laughing so hard at my stupidity and wanted to share...I decided I check out the bb's to just get a base line of what they looked like in case the old blue veins start showing (never paid attention to any of that before) and I actually saw some to my suprise. For about 4 seconds I actually thought to myself, wow, I wonder if I ovulated earlier than I thought now that I seem to have 2 symptoms...then it occured to me that hubby was out of town for 8 days, right up until the 24 hours before I ovulated...hahahaha...so if I got prego sooner than Sunday, I guess it was impaculate conception, ha!!!
CHILLbilly
Aug 28th, 2008, 06:50 AM
I get excited when I see the blue veins............but then realize I have them even during AF.
I am now all stuffed up and bitchy.
Sense of smell is so strong...and I have been nausous all day until supper. I ate breakfast and lunch today so not hunger nausea.
So thank you body for getting me all worked up on what may only be 2dpo.
F-you:finger:
:rofl:
probably all just ovulation signs........so will still be getting busy all week long. We're going camping again this weekend..Sat-Mon..so planning on thursday maybe friday and a quickie Sat morning.

Hi all,
As I mentioned earlier this is my first time charting with OPK's and BBT and I just have a quick question for you lovely ladies :blush::blush:
Can your temps dip on the actual day of ovulation? I have been only temping for the last couple of days (around 4 due to late arrival of therm) but I have generally been under the 36.4 area and this morning I dropped to 36.18 so me being me I re-temped about three hours later and it had raisen again to 36.4. Just wondered what anyone thought, FF has me on O day today................:sex: :sex: :sex: :happydance:
Lyns
Aug 28th, 2008, 10:25 AM
Kittiekat, I don't temp at the mo, but from what I understand your temp has to be taken at the same time each day within 10 minutes of first waking, so your second reading wouldn't be worth anything.
If you look at a few people chart on FF you'll see that several peoples temps do dip down just prior to ovulation and then a sustained rise for 3 days from that point, so it's possible that this is when you are due to ovulate, but you'd need that rise to confirm it afterwards.
In this instance I'd tend to be guided by your other bodily signs, CM, CP, Ovulation Pain, and the OPK's as I wouldn't have thought that 4 days would be long enough to get a totally accurate indication through temps, but use it as a good start for nect cycle - although hopefully you won't need it!
Coffee
Aug 28th, 2008, 11:24 AM
Morning cycle buddies!
Well i did another OPK yesterday and got a mega faint line! So faint it was barely there. Had a panicked BD session last night (even tho i'm ill!!) just in case! OV sticks tell you when you are about to ovulate i think? then you should OV anywhere between 12 and 48 hours after that???? So if eggy lasts for 24 hours, you never know- might just have caught it?? (I'm living in dreamworld i know!!!). That said, i still don't believe i have OV'd yet. Think it might have been a random hormone fluctuation as it's just too early for me. Still thinking i am more likely to OV next week.
Kittiekat - sorry - clearly i'm not one for advising on charting but good luck!
JJF - Oooohhh that's exciting - i always think the biggest symptom you could ever have is intuition and just knowing that something feels different to normal.
Good luck everyone else!!
Am i the only one left thats possibly (or not!) waiting for OV then??!! Nooooooo don't leave me behind on my own!!!!!!!!!!
kittiekat
Aug 28th, 2008, 12:24 PM
Hi Lyns
Thanks for the reply. I know fours days isn't really worth anything but just thought I would ask incase it happens again next month. I took the first temp at 5.00 am as I was disturbed my DH who was off to work and since it says 'on waking' I took it. I then went back to sleep for around 3-3 1/2 hours so it was around 8 - 8:30 ish. When I looked up BBT it says temps should be fine after three hours of sleep so was wondering which one to go off. Hope that makes a little more sense lol.
I will be glad to get back to work next week (I work in a school so still on school hols) as I will be up at set times then and won't feel silly having to wake myself up just to temp lol. I will also be too busy to keep obsessing over everything during the 2ww....
JJF
Aug 28th, 2008, 21:08 PM
KittieKat and Lyns, you both bring up a good point, and I thought i had it all down pat now but Lyns said something I'm wondering about...I was thinking you had to take the temp BEFORE you got up and out of bed, not with in the first 10 min, meaning if you start moving about, your temp goes up quickly. Just curious, not trying to argue. This morning I realized my therm was in the other room and I was just laying there like, UGH, I can't get up to get it but I Really want to temp. Tried to wake up hubby to get it (I'm sure he would have LOVED that) and he didnt' wake up but funny that about 2 min later he hoped right out of bed, think he was faking, hahahaha. I got up and got the therm very quick and hoped back in bed and laid still, haha, and it seemed fine but I would love to know if someone can clarify the 10 min versus taking it while still lying still in bed before standing....

NOT happy with my body right now. But I will treat it with respect during this 2ww.
My 3dpo ??? symptoms are nausea ( usually get it towards AF)
feel very very moody and cranky... feel like I am getting a cold or sick.
Just a real shitty feeling.
Its a Pajama day today......I'm gonna look out my window and watch my humming birds, snuggle with my dogs and cats, watch girlie movies all day and night OH is out for the day/night. Wish I had a big bath tub to soak in tho'

To be honest I felt the egg implant 9d post ov with my recent MC and these pains feel just like that did, but I'm only 4d po so I'm really thinking its WAY too early.

have you seen twoweekwait DOT com ( website with tonnes of symptoms)
I am curious to find out how long it takes fertilized egg to get to uterus and actually start implant.

Coffee don't worry hun I am still waiting for OV. FF hasn't indicated that OV has been detected yet but, my temp rose again today for 2nd day on the trot all I need is for it to rise agin tomorrow and sun then FF should tell me that I OV'd around CD18 which was yesterday. I have changed my ticker to 35 days as, if I OV around CD18 it means I wont have a 28 day cycle as I hoped more 30ish day one.

Well am trying sooooo hard not to get my hopes up over symptons this month. I started this cycle believing it wasn't going to be 'my time' - with my cycle messing me about etc, but everything else seems to be falling into place and we did :sex: at the right times!
CHILLbilly....I found that other website before I came here. Spent a couple of weeks floating around, but I got so fed up at them posting everything they pee'd on and then everyone saying they could def see a line when it was utterly obvious there was nothing there! I swore then that I would remain level-headed....ha!
CD19 for me....and an absolute pleasure to be able to look forward to testing in just a few days instead of the whole of the 2ww stretching out in front of me! I've been very good so far and left the sticks in the drawer....I shall think about reaching for one maybe next Tuesday!

Hi everyone
I'm just a day behind you Lyns - CD 18 and if my temps are up for a third time tomorrow morning FF will predict ovulation on Wednesday CD16. So Shmoo, I'll be with you if that happens. We BD'd CD 13, 14, 15 and 16 so there's a good a chance as any this month.
Btw, I had creamy CM this morning after dry CM yesterday. Mean anything?
I've also got some good news on my boy front. You may remember me posting to say that he isn't really into tcc. Or rather, he's not avoiding but doesn't want to talk about and last month got a bit narky about BDing around O because he guessed what I was up to :rofl:
Anyway, last night after a couple of cheeky vodkas (bad Halle) I asked him if we could start making babies and he said he thought we already were :happydance: I told him there was a good chance this month and he seemed happy so I am :cloud9: I suspected this though because one time this week I was on top when he came (tmi, sorry) and before pulling out he flipped me over and then stayed there for a few minutes. I have never talked about it being better with me underneath but I guess it is common sense.
Now he's gone on a stag do to Barcelona and I'm going to miss him loads but I have lots of nice things planned and I'm so happy it should fly by.
There are a lot of us at the same time in our cycle so here's to lots of silly symptom spotting next week. Speaking of which, Chillbilly - the pimples are great. I woke up the morning after my bfp with about 20 new spots on my chin. Never thought I'd be happy to see that!

Hey everyone, I dont have a monitor i just temp and poas, but I dont think im v good at it tbh i always seem to see them as positve, this morning my temp is .3 below the cover line urghhh! when i woke up again an hour later my temp was .3 above coverline and I am also thinking i didnt stick the thermo in props so now ff has unconfirmed o-day *sigh*
Mind you if I wake up 2morrow and its high again they might reconfirm i do hope that is the case.
Unless it wasnt o-time which is wierd cos i poas?? Gonna poas later today and hoping i can finally see what a negative looks like!

Hi celine,
What level of OPK's are you using? I used to use the 30 (miu or something like that lol) and i never seemed to get a line darker or as dark as. So I swapped to the 15 (miu) ones and I have finally had a line that was clearly darker than the test line Woo hoo!
What I am trying to say is that some woman need to use different strengths of OPK's, if you are using the 15 (miu) ones and getting constant positives than you may need to use the 30 ones? Or if you are using the 30 then try the 40 ones....there is a website that explains all this much better then me and when I find it again i will post the address for you.
Anyway, it was just a thought from this weird brain of mine........ :happydance:

I don't like those stories...........lol
I made the mistake of looking a pic of a face forward birth and thought
OH FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry bout language:blush:...but if you saw that pic..you would say the same
I'd rather talk about the gas they give you during birth..LOL
my sister loved it and actually had lines on her face from the mask. :rofl::rofl:

I am still waiting for FF to confirm OV. I will let you know as soon as I do. Hopefully I will have another raised temp tomorrow morning so that will be 4 in a row and then they will confirm as CD17 or CD18

My chart has changed it's mind up to yesterday i was 7dpo now it un-determined!
Argh! anyway just to be sure we're still GETTING IT ON!
Lyns
Aug 30th, 2008, 11:36 AM
Well, I'm 7dpo today and have been a very good girl so far! I've not pee'd on one stick!
Why is it that you know its too early, you know the result would be BFN, you know it would depress you.......yet you do still get thsi irrepressible urge to 'just see' in case! Grrrr!
My abdomenal cramps have gone, although yesterday I had a twinge or two of backache, but more than anything this month I just feel FAT! I have no idea if thats 2ww obsessing or me just having had too many cream cakes, but I'm not one for normally being like that!

Lyns, when you thinking of POAS? I was lucky last time at 10dpo but I felt the egg implant at 9dpo last time. Tuesday I will be 10dpo so I'd like to test but I'm feeling too scared to see a BFN. I know I can't wait much longer cause I'm an addict but its so heartbreaking that I wish I had the will power to wait about 5 more weeks, haha.
Chillbilly-what about you?

I'm going to wait for AF UNLESS I get some amazing symptoms.
Would love an early :bfp: but seeing those negatives sure is a kick in the ass.
No tests in house so I am not tempted to test.
i am strong..I will not be tempted....LOL

Aug 30th, 2008, 16:59 PM
CHILLbilly....send some of that willpower this way hun!
I think Monday/Tuesday for me, probably....last time I didn't test until 12 dpo but it was like, bang...a strong immediate BFP, so I may get lucky a little earlier this time. No use kidding myself I could hang on any longer! lol!
I have a tube of about 20 IC's and 2 x CB digi's, but like the champagne in this house, they will only get cracked open for a special occasion! ie when i think there is a very good chance of that little 'pregnant' word flicking on screen!
Maybe if I'm not lucky this month then a major diet next month! :rolleyes:

How many times have you been told......get drunk and you'll conceive?
I don't drink during 2ww as well as week leading up to O.
I find non alcoholic beer tastes ok and actually enjoy it. Plus I can still drive and walk straight as well as not slur when talking to someone...LOL anyway......
So when I get asked why? and then tell me to have a few and it will happen...I act polite but think...F you....what the feck do you know about my body?
I'm going to start telling ppl I am a recovering alcoholic and if I have one drink it may kill me.
See what kind of advice they give me then! HA
I have so much more to rant about...but need a bit of time to think it over......
I was also told by someone to NOT have kids as they are a bad idea.
Bad for your relationship......they suck the life out of you....ect.
By someone with 3 boys( she started when she was 16)...who had a MC at 5 months BUT wants another with her present BF.
What kind of advice is that?????
some people...and of course she was drunk .
i need to meet some new friends.....
:hissy::hissy::hissy::hissy:
I think I need to pop over to the PMA thread....I need a pick me up....

Hey girls, cramps a few nights ago for an hour, still sensitive boobs, big zit now on chin, veins on boobs, headache last night...I'm loving it all, ha. I'm really hoping i feel the egg implant again since I was lucky enough to feel it last cycle but even if I don't , my intuition is telling me this is the real deal! Someone please kick me in the next few weeks if I was wrong, okay, haha. I really should keep my mouth closed and not get too excited but it is SO hard when your so focused on your body and its 'signs' you know.
More and more of you are joining the 2ww...I'm thinking 3 or so more will as soon as those monitors and ff tell you it finally happened, seems like those things have a few of you jumping threw hoops, or should I say hoping in and out of bed, ha.

Morning girls
What did everyone get up to over the weekend to keep their mind off the 2ww? My boy was away on a stag do so I had a couple of girls nights out. I figured at 2 and 3dpo implantation wouldn't have happened anyway so I could take advantage and have a few glasses of wine!
How is the 2ww going?
Because I have been online all weekend FF confirmed ovulation on 27th Aug so I am 5dpo as I thought. Far too early for symptoms but that hasn't stopped me wondering... I fell fast asleep on the tube this morning and had dreams within a couple of minutes then woke up feeling shaky and weird. Obviously preggers and not a normal Momday morning:rofl:
Chilly - it's sounding positive - any more news?
Someone at work has announced their pregnancy which makes her about a month b
