Cycle buddies!

[Sam15]

Fingers crossed Millie - sounds promising! How long is your luteal phase normally?

After my temp hitting an all-time high this morning (after a dip yesterday), I've got my hopes up. Need to see what it
does over the next few days though and I'm well aware it could just as likely drop! I've got some positive symptoms but then as we know our bodies are capable of tricking us!! As usual this 2nd week is dragging!

I was hoping I might have the faint traces of blood on wiping that I had at this time last month but nothing. Then again, I wasn't pregnant, so perhaps I shouldn't be looking to replicate last month!

I'm hoping it was ovulation too but I'm not getting my hopes up that I'm even ovulating yet so am just going to keep dtd and see what my blood test shows next week.

 

[millielaura]

I think my LP is 14 days, my ov moves but AF always seems to come exactly 14 days after ov.
Oooh that sounds so promising about the temp fingers crossed it stays up for you. And that could of been an implantation dip? I may try temping again next cycle.. when I first did it it was just completely all over the show haha!
Fingers crossed your blood test shows ov hopingforbaby xxx

Hi Girls

Sorry I've not been on much, still feeling unwell but struggled into work today, had to deal with lots of hormonal teens for school injections

Good news is that the witch has buggered off finally

Sam sounds good hun, so if your temp stays up that's a good sign ive heard ( not that sure about temping)
I was planning on temping this Cycle but with having this Flu bug I completely forgot snd t be honest I've had a high temp over the weekend and im now CD 5 but would it be worth starting from tomorrow?
Otherwise I'll start next cycle
I wouldn't worry about implantation spotting as only a third of women get this, so it's not as common as you think do if you don't get it don't rule yourself out

Millie, good signs hun, I started craving certain foods really early on and totally went off other foods, I remember smelling popcorn at the cinema and it made me feel so sick ( I normally love the smell/taste) this was a few days before I got my Bfp at about 12dpo...And a few days later I craved Savoury salty food like crisps, bacon sarnies and McDonald's ! !!
I totally went off food I normally love like chocolate, biscuits and puddings... this continued throughout my pregnancy... Very weird!!!

Hopingforbabyf hope you have Ovulated but just to be sure try to DTD at least every 2-3 days if you can, I ovulated a week later than than I thought this month so totally missed it... hopefully not going to make that mistake this cycle

Fingers and toes crossed for all of us xxxx

Hi ladies,

How are you all doing?

Hope you feel better soon Emma! Am sending you all so baby dust have got my fingers crossed for you all xx

 

[hopingforbabyf]

Glad the witch has finally left Emma. I don't see the harm in starting temping tomorrow, it should still detect ovulation and at least you get into the habit of doing it ready for a full cycle next month.

We've been dtd every other day since cd7 and did both days over the weekend (cd11 and 12) so fingers crossed we've caught it if I have ovulated. If not, we're enjoying the practice for when I get clomid and hopefully start ovulating. We're going to have to keep going though as I had a 30 day cycle a few months back so no rest yet

 

[millielaura]

Oooh see I've eaten terrible today in regards to puddings and pasta etc ,maybe its a sweetness and carbs craving hahaah
I still don't fancy that hummus! I've not smelt it or anything but know I need to use it and the thought of eating it is just making my stomach turn a little! xxx

 

[Emily0505]

I'm cd11 today and think I'll ov over the weekend. Got my hubby prepped for lots of sexy time and making sure I'm using my preseed too.

I have had quite a heavy and painful feeling around ov before Infact it can be really uncomfortable and doesn't exactly put you in the mood to dtd but still I soldier on! Haha!

Have my fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies!

XX

 

[millielaura]

Good luck with the bd'ing!
I can also have that really painful and heavy feeling- feels a bit like AF cramps!

13dpo today (but may of ovulated later- in which case I'd be anywhere between 5-8dpo going off the second lot of ewcm I had)
Boobs are definitely more sore than usual so thats good! xx

 

[Emily0505]

Fingers crossed hun! I symptom spot so badly in the tww but when I was preggers with my son I had literally no symptoms at all bar some implantation pain at 6dpo. Didn't realise what it was at the time though!

I find it ironic that our fertile time is often when bd'ing is uncomfortable! I suffer with ov pains and find dtd can be a bit painful. I've realised I just have to grit my teeth and focus on the end prize! What troopers we are

Xx

 

[Emily0505]

Aren't we just! I never used to get them and could never tell when I was ovulating. Now, I can generally tell when my opk will be positive from how I'm feeling.

[angel6901]

Last month I didn't get any Ovulation pains so had no idea if and when I Ovulated, So I'm really hoping I get some this month....how sad am I wishing for pain!! lol xxx

 

[millielaura]

Haha I love getting ov pains.. some of my cycles have been super short with no ov pains so I like knowing I'm oving. Hey just realised this is usually the cycle (every other cycle) I end up bleeding on cd17 but I didn't! Yayyy even if AF comes then at least this maybe means my hormones are getting back to norm?

Going off last cycle and first lot ov ewcm and ov pains..AF due tomorrow. Nervous lol!

I still can't eat that hummus. Smelt it and felt sick. Think I'l have to bin the whole tub :/ dont want to offend Oh as he got it for me on his way home the other night as he knows how much I love hummus. Maybe I'l hide some in the bin daily hahahaha!!
Boobs sorer today haha. I do keep poking and prodding to check though lmao!
xx

 

[millielaura]

I always try subtly prod my boobs to see if they hurt in tww lmao bet people have noticed and think I'm odd feeling myself up or something hahahahahaa

 

[Emily0505]

Yep I'm a boob prodder too! Haha!

XX

 

[Sam15]

My boobs have been sore since 5dpo and for some reason aren't too bad first thing but get progessively sorer as the day wears on. This morning all the pain had gone, so have been nipping to the loo at work to have a prod (thought boob prodding at desk wasn't really appropriate...). I was sadly v excited when I realised sore boobies were back!

Xx

 

[Emily0505]

Yaay for sore boobies!!

I had a good old grope of mine in the staff room in front of everyone the other day! I was so hungry at lunchtime I felt sick and as they all know I'm ttc they were all teasing me and asking if I had morning sickness and did my boobs hurt so I checked!! Hahaha!! They didn't know where to look!!

XX

 

[millielaura]

Haha thats so funny lol
Think mine are a bit more sore this evening again yayyy! Xx

 

[millielaura]

Feeling so dizzy tonight and also feeling sick. It's setting my anxiety off quite bad actually I hate feeling dizzy! Trying to chill about it though and put it down to being hormonal seeing as boobs more sore than normal. Either preg or got real bad pms lol!! Xx
