Cycle buddies!

[Emily0505]

I've heard pretty much the same, dtd every 2-3 days then the 3 days around ov.

Quite frankly I just don't have the energy to dtd that much especially 3 days on the trot! We tried to this cycle but by day 3 I was really not all that up for it, but tried as I knew I had ovulated that day.

I like using opks and I've not had issue with them before and to be fair the issues I'm having now are post ov so more an annoyance than anything else.

Feeling crap crap crap. It wont let me copy and paste it on my phone so read my latest post in the long term ttc's boat and it says why!

Yeah I think its just that you have high hormones after ov
Xxx

 

[Emily0505]

AWW hun, I know it's hard but try not to worry about it until you get the letter.

I know nothing about fertility referrals but surely from what you have said, you must qualify for help?

hun. Ttc is hard enough when it all goes smoothly let alone when there's issues. Must be tough for you. And here's me missing about lines on per sticks... it's nothing in comparison!

[millielaura]

I feel a lot better after everyones lovely replies and feel more in control now. OH and I are going to make a list of things to mention to the GP later

And aw lines on sticks are so stressful I don't blame you lol I'd be the same!

Urghh got a horrid AF really clotty etc xxx

 

[Emily0505]

Do you think it's worse as you've had a chemical?

List writing is great A really positive and proactive approach!

It's so hard not to get down and stressed by ttc stuff. I struggle with positive thinking and often end up with incredibly negative intrusive thoughts. Was trying to do some visualisation around ov of sperm meeting the egg but I didn't do very well! We had watched Black Fish around that time too so all I ended up being able to think about was my little boy falling into the tank and getting attacked by a whale! Epic fail!!

[millielaura]

Yes I defo think so. Other chemicals have been like this too whereas normal AF usually has a few moderate days, a heavy clotty day and a few lightdays. This has been clots from get go.
Yes I feel so much better having a lisy and a plan

oh gosh sounds a horrid visualisation about you little boy and the whale. I'm awful with intrusive negative thoughts.

Honestly this is how it goes in my mind some days:
"OH 10 mins late from work. Oh no there must of been a crash I'm going to google to see if there's any crashes in the area. Ahhh why wont the page load i need to know now. Whats this accident oh its not where hel be okay hes not in an accident its fine. What would i do if he was? How would i get to hosp? *imagines police officers coming to tell me* oh.gosh what would happen if he died in a crash *imagine what to do with the house etc etc*. But no he wont be in a crash he'l be fine. What if theres been a crash this instant i better check again."

Then he usually comes through the door and I feel like an idiot!it honestly happens about once a week haha!!
Hoping my CBT will help stop all the anxious thoughts xxxx

 

[Emily0505]

They all tend to centre around my little boy and once I start thinking about it I find it very hard to switch off again.

I know it's irrational and won't ever happen but none the less the thought creeps in anyway.

Pain in the ass when I'm trying to do some positive visualisation!!

[millielaura]

It's so hard isn't it. I've got a few mindfulness apps onmy phone atm to help me think positive thoughts and relax etc

Need to do them more!

Going to order some opks at the weekend. When should I start from, maybe cd7 and sometimes I ov super early?

My kittys are being super nice with me today lol! they must sense I've been feeling upset. xxx

 

[Emily0505]

I normally start mine on CD10 and ov around CD14-16.

If you can ov early then I would def start opking early too, just to make sure you don't miss anything.

Aww bless your little kitties! My dogs behave the same towards me regardless of how I'm feeling!! Obviously not all that bothered!

XX

 

[millielaura]

Yes I don't want to miss anything so will start early. Lets hope my opks are less confusing than yours and Emma's this month lol!!

Haha bless your dogs. Did they behave diff to you when preg? Before my m/c in December these two seemed to avoid me haha. They're nicer to me if I'm on AF or if I'm crying or sad about something they come over purring etc.
My parents kitten, when I was preg when I was younger and had m/c at 14 weeks I'm sure she could sense baby. She used to put her paws and paddle really low on my stomach where I could feel my uterus was starting to poke out and she used to put her face on it too and purr lol! After the m/c she stopped doing it! Was weird. I'm sure cats sense things haha xxx

 

[Emily0505]

Nope they were all just the same. I was well gutted I wanted special treatment! Haha! We ok only had two when I was pregnant with my son and we have another now so don't know what he'll be like. Knowing him though I can't imagine he'd be any different!

[Emily0505]

Here they are...

 

[angel6901]

Hi Girls
I'm sorry I haven't been able to come on much today due to work
Just finished so just chilling at home now, my OH going out tonight for some beers with his Dad so I'll be able to catch up with everything on here

I'm so sorry about your referral millie (I read on your other thread) it's so rediculous that you can't be treated yet due to your m/c
I would definitely go down the gyne route,
You've had such a roller coaster week, I really feel for you sweetie, im really hoping you get your Christmas baby fingers and toes crossed for your sticky bean

I'm 4dpo today (presuming I ovulated monday) but I could of ov'd Sat or Sunday very Negative Opk again today and very dry (down below )
I also have had a very dry mouth also!!

How are you feeling Emily? xxx

 

[Emily0505]

I did my last opk for this cycle and... a much fainter line

It was a different brand to the ones I've been using and slightly less sensitive (prev been using 20mui and today's was 25mui) To be fair I've gotten so fed up of the blimmin things I wasn't going to pee on anymore regardless of what today's said!

Going from my ++opk I am 6dpo but going from the ov pain I'm 5dpo. Feeling the same as ever, nothing exciting to report and not a sniff of any exciting symptoms. I think I'm going to go with 5dpo though as that stands me in better stead when it comes to testing day.

[angel6901]

Im unsure when I ovulated
could anyone help me out??
I got small amount of ewcm on the Friday CD 8 (didnt opk)
DTD Sat pm (near positive opk) ++ ewcm
DTD Sun PM (negative opk) small amount ewcm
Monday left sided pains but on and off made me feel sick (negative opk) no ewcm didn't DTD
DTD Tue PM (negative opk) no ewcm DTD WED AM (no ewcm)
Thurs (negative opk) didn't DTD
Today (very negative opk) haven't DTD yet
I just hope I didn't miss Ovulation
I'm CD 16 today

I think it was Monday but we didn't DTD that day
I'm going to Opk until AF arrives just in case lol xxx

 

[Emily0505]

Hmm if you got your positive opk Sat then you would ov 12-36 hours after that which would tie in perfectly with the pain you got on Monday. So as you say, I would go with Monday being ov day.

If you dtd Sun night then you will hopefully have had plenty of lil swimmers left waiting. This was the exact same for me but all a day earlier! I got my ++opk Sat and dtd Sat night and killer ovulation pain on the Sunday.

[angel6901]

I was a bit gutted that we didn't DTD Monday but my OH was knackered after working all weekend and DTD 2 nights in a row, but like you said we are both still in with a good chance from the night before
Funny how similar our cycles are this month and the timing of our nookie lol

I've had a heavy feeling for a few days but no major symptom yet xxx

 

[millielaura]

I would say your pains on Monday your defo covered from the night before
Fingers crossed for you both!!
I know i say this all the time but this next cycle I'm actually not testing early. After this chemical I don't think I could go through the rollercoaster again. Id rather of had AF not knowing. Never testing again unless I'm defo late! Xx

 

[angel6901]

I was thinking I will test as soon as my tests arrive but your right millie, I think it's so hard not to test but so much harder to go through a chemical or evaps,

I will try to be patient and not test early....will be a long 10 days till AF

How are you feeling hunny? Been thinking about you all day xxx

 

[millielaura]

Yeah defo think I'd rather battle with myself to not test rather than test and go through another chemical!
I'm okay thank you feeling a lot more positive this evening
How are you? xxx
