Cycle buddies!

Hi Carys

Sorry to hear about the abnormal cells. Hopefully it'll turn out to be nothing or something that can be easily treated. I'm sure it will. Abnormal smears are relatively common. I have a few friends who have had treatment and I've seen people on here who have had the same. Might be worth starting a thread if you have any specific questions or concerns.

I'm glad now you got the smear done (if that makes sense!)

Xx

Hi Girls,

I'm sorry I've not posted for a couple of days, my fellow forum buddy Em (WishingHoping) has had a terrible time these past few days and it has really upset me and I felt frustrated that I couldn't do anything to ease her pain (have been in contact off the forum too)

I'm still here and on CD7 today, started my healthy eating plan...but my OH has just texted me to say he's getting us a takeaway tonight! Lovely thought but I'm really trying to be good

Sam I posted on your other thread about DTD. ..is your OH going yo come home tonight? Or are you going to wait for your solid smilie?

Carys Sorry to hear you had an abnormal smear, I had one about 5 years ago and I was fine... big hugs

Georgesmum love the lettuce thread!... im going to have to have a small amount of Chinese tonight and start back on the healthy eating tomorrow xxx

Hi ladies hope you are all ok?

Angel I saw WishingHoping's thread, bless her. My heart broke for he, send her my love.

Carys I had about 5 abnormal smears and had to have 3 colposcopies and in the end they just cut off the abnormal cells and they gave have been fine ever since. Fingers crossed yours will be fine hun. Xx

Thank you for the support ladies x x x x x

Hi Emma

Hope you enjoyed your Chinese and didn't feel too guilty! I think being better on the whole ( with treats) is the way forward and works better than complete deprivation!

Really sorry to hear about Em (such a lot to take in after the happy news so recently) and also that it's affected you so much. ttc and pregnancy is such a stressful journey, I've realised.

Thanks for replying to my post...it really threw me getting a flashing smiley, as assumed it would just be a solid one again this month! OH has been, delivered and gone He's said he will make the trip back again when I get a solid smiley (I'm really hoping this is tomorrow, but who knows!). I'd forgotten how much bloomin' energy this fertile time demands...I am exhausted!! Please God let this be my month, so that I can have a break!!

This thread definitely needs some luck...roll on those BFPs!

Right, time for some much needed kip!

Hi ladies
Well im CD 8 today and thinking about starting Opks soon, could I just ask when do you ladies normally start them? I normally start around CD 10 but I don't want to miss ovulation so im thinking ive got 50 so I'm going to start a bit early

Sam what did you get this morning? Hope it was a Solid Smilie and he can get home again tonight!
I'm hoping my fertile days are between Mon - thurs as my OH works late weekends so won't get much chance if it lands on a weekend!

Hi girls

Hope you're all doing ok?

Emma - first month of using the Clearblue digi last month I used their chart as an guide to when to start testing. This month I actually started a day later, as it took 4 sticks last month before I saw the smiley! What cycle day do you tend to ovulate (or does it differ a lot)? fx for non-weekend fertile days

I'm confused with the old digi...got a second flashing smiley this morning. I would have thought if I was approaching ov (and solid smiley) that my symptoms would increase, but today the ewcm has gone (not watery cm either, so not fertile fluid), pains have lessened and cervix feels closed! It's almost like that flashing smiley yesterday should have been a static one, as I'm sure I've now ovulated! Was v tempted to test again tonight, but didn't see the point, as it could have stressed me out, as OH not around to dtd with! I asked him to come back tomorrow eve (thinking tomorrow would either be flashing or solid) and he's then back for 2 days on Friday evening anyway. I figured last night's spermies would hang around for 48 hours!!

I think you can always think you could do more on the dtd front, but there's no point in beating myself up about it. We've managed it 5 days in a row now, and inevitably I think another boink tonight could make all the difference, but I'm sure it wouldn't!!

Who knows what tomorrow will bring on the testing front!

xx

 

[Georgesmum]

how is everyone today? My husband seems very enthusiastic for this month which is brilliant and a first. Starting dtd tonight but I have decided not to use opks as it just added to my stressing. Fell off the dieting wagon last night, but straight back on it today. I am also dealing with my caffeine addiction as apparently that also doesn't help with ttc. No more cola for me ����

 

[angel6901]

Hi Girls
I'm starting with opks today, and DTD this morning but didn't use Preseed as I forgot! I'm only CD 9 and don't normally Ovulate till CD 14-17 so I don't suppose it matters

Sam sounds like you've Ovulated hun, it's a good job your OH managed to pop home for some nookie keep testing but if it's still flashing in a few days I eould stop testing and just DTD when you can

Georgesmum I'm back on the diet but was naughty and had Chinese day before yesterday. ..I also have a caffine addiction, love Coffee and Coke! Glad your OH is enthusiastic! Mine is too at the he moment. ..well he hasnt it for a few weeks but I'm sure once I really need to DTD at my most fertile days he won't be as willing xxx

 

[millielaura]

Hope everyones okay
I'm in my 14th tww now lol. Ovd super early on cd9. Hoping af doesnt arrive at 3dpo again lol xxxx

 

[Sam15]

Ooh girls, exciting that you're both on the approach to ov again, and started dtd...fx the enthusiasm of your OHs continues when it counts!! My OH is always a keen bean but even he struggled at 6.30am this week before he went away!!

I've been super stressed with the CB digi but have decided I'm now 1dpo. Feeling mentally and physically knackered with it all, and been bad on the eating front today (I really should be in the lettuce club!). I'm blaming tiredness! On the eating note, I think caffeine and sugar are big no-nos. Not good for me, as choc is my vice. Why are all the yummy naughty things bad for us?!

Emma - I got another flashing smiley this morning and tested with a new holder and stick and got a blank! Was v confused but phoned Clearblue and understand the reasons for it now! Wish I could have dtd last night to cover us but it's unlikely to ever be a 'perfect' month!!

Xx

Hi millielaura

Gosh, that's an early ov. I have been around day 11 I think but this month seems to be 2 days later. Not sure if that's the acupuncture, vits or just random. God knows!

Really hope you have a proper 2ww this cycle. How are you feeling in yourself? Anxiety ok at the mo? Hope Venice was fab xx

 

[millielaura]

Sam I've also been awful with food atm! Far too much salt and sugar lol. Need to start another health kick!
Yes its a super early ov haha my cycles are mad. How have you found acupuncture?
Venice was great thanks. Anxiety been bad, trying lots of rescue remedy herbal stuff atm lol. I had pretty much given up with ttc and was going to have break until after our wedding but today doc said she will still refer us (got a nice doc for once...finally!!) So just my cd21 bloods (next week since i ovd early) and then we get referred xxx

 

[Sam15]

Great news about the referral - you must be so pleased! I read another thread where you said 'cause you'd fallen pregnant before, you didn't know if it would happen, so must be such a relief. I hope you don't have to wait long for the appointment.

I've eaten far too many sugary treats today (continuing into tonight!) - it's almost like I have to sabotage the (relatively) good week I've had. I blame the stress of trying to work out when I ov'd this week and dtd enough before OH went away for the week!

I've only had 1 acupuncture session so far and due to go again this Saturday. He's concentrating on fertility and anxiety. I've had a better week on the anxiety front, but then mine tends to be focused more around the run up to AF and the first few days after, so might be coincidental. If you can afford it, it might be worth you considering it. My OH paid for the first session as part of my birthday pressie and is going halves on the other sessions. Otherwise I don't think I could afford it.

You could also try the Zita West relaxation CD that Emma and I both have...I'd definitely recommend it.

Glad you enjoyed Venice

xx

 

[millielaura]

Yeah I am so happy! After the mc i went to a doc and she said she would no longer refer me. So so pleased i finally got a nice doctor..only took about 9 doctors haha!
Me too ive had nothing healthy today at all lol! Fx all the dtd paid off for you
Ooh wow I'd need it for anxiety as well as fertility..sounds great. How much are your sessions and how did you find it? I've googled for ones near me before but theres so many and I want to choose a reputable one! Where did you get the relaxation cd from? xxx

 

[Sam15]

I think I just put fertility acupuncture and my area into Google and found the details. He has a special interest in acupuncture for fertility issues and also lectures on it, so I thought that said a lot. It's a bit of a gamble, unless you get a personal recommendation. The initial session was £60 for 1 1/4 hours and the follow up sessions (45 mins) are £45. I'm down south, so I don't know if it's more expensive than where Emma is, for example (she's also started sessions).

Here's the CD info

[millielaura]

Ooh I'l have a search about
I wish it was cheaper lol it seems like its really helped some people though!
Thanks for cd link says she has 3 diff ones, the pregnancy one, getting preg naturally or the ivf one. Lol might try the getting preg naturally one although I think I was very luck with bfp back in October as my cycles are so crazy lol
Cannot wait for referral I think I'm more likely to get bfp with treatment than before treatment I think for defo.
Can't believe I'm in my 14th month of TTC lol this time last year I never expected to still be trying a year later. So funny as when we got engaged last April we did want to get married in 2015 but thought we may have new baby so pushed back to 2016. Now I'm thinking oh crap wish we'd gone for 2016 now lol so we'l probably end up starting treatment about a year before our wedding hahaha! Its in July 2016.. sounds a while away but slooowly running out of months left. Xx

 

[millielaura]

Wish we'd gone for 2015 I mean haha

 

[angel6901]

Hi Girls

Millielaura...Yes as Sam said I have been going to Acupuncture sessions (had 2 so far) £35 for an Hour (I'm up North) I find I feel really relaxed and positive following a session, The CD she actually gave me at my 1st appointment, I find it really good, but my OH thinks its crazy!! he listened to it with me one evening and he couldn't stop laughing, which meant we were both in fits of giggles by the time the CD got to the part about the sperm penetrating the egg!!

TIP Listen to it ALONE

Gosh you did Ovulate early this month I normally start testing on CD 10 so I would of missed it! luckily I started a bit early this month, I normally ovulate between 14-17
Glad you got a decent DR that will refer you, FX you don't need to be and you get your Feb BFP

I'm trying really hard to eat Healthily but had a few Beers the other night and I'm planning on having a few more this weekend, but I am eating more fruit and veg and less sugar and fatty foods

Sam I'm a bit confused about your Clearblue Digi?? I think it sounds like you have Ovulated, but DTD when you can just to cover yourself,

Well I'm CD10 and I'm about to do my OPKS....I will keep you posted xxx

 

[angel6901]

OPK is totally Negative, Thank goodness as we won't get chance to DTD till possibly Mon as OH works all weekend till Midnight, glad my Fertile time will prob be Next week Mon- Thurs (Please ovarys) xxx
