Cycle buddies!

[hopingforbabyf]

Emily - definitely got my fingers crossed for bfps for us all! Sounds promising for you...hopefully the pain means an extra good egg

Sam - yes, I'm hoping it's confirmed but if not it's only another 2 cycles until I will be starting clomid so will look forward to that. This place, especially this thread, is amazing. Great to have other ladies to speak to who are going through the same thing!

 

[Emily0505]

This thread is like the best on the entire forum!!



I hope it means a good egg and not more than one! Twins is a concept that my lil brain just can't handle

So we didn't dtd last night.

Tried to but hubby got so much on his mind with starting a new job today that his head was elsewhere. I felt so positive last night before bed but less so now. I had so much ov pain yesterday so I know that my lil eggy was being released. I know there could be lil swimmers left from the night before but I would have loved a fresh batch to give us the best chance.

Don't know whether it would be worth trying to dtd tonight? Although after the first day in a new job I'm not sure hubby would be in the mood. Poor man! I expect he wants to be left in peace! Bless him!

So I guess this is 1dpo. Shall opk later but as all my ov symptoms have gone, I'm expecting it to be negative again now.

Really hope we've done enough

Oh fingers crossed that you've still caught the egg there would of def been spermies there still so I think you'l be okay! Can't hurt to dtd tonight!
Hope he has a good day at his new job!

Fingers crossed for you Emily!! I'm sure there will still be plenty swimmers up there from Saturday night.

I'm so bored this morning. I'm usually in work by now but got my blood test in half an hour. Dreading it as I hate needles!! Needs must though...I shall soldier on lol.

I'm feeling really good today - we got up at our usual time of 6am and walked the dogs then I decided I'd do my workout as I wasn't going to work as early and I must say I feel really strong and refreshed now I usually do it at night but with having the dogs to walk etc I usually finish early on those days so I can do it before hubs gets home from work and I usually don't have much motivation. Thinking I may start doing it in the mornings instead and going into work a wee bit later. I bought lots of new clothes last week in the new look sale so waiting for them to arrive - they're totally different from what I usually wear (jeans, hoodie and converse are the norm for me) but I decided since I'm feeling more confident in myself and can see a difference since I started working out that I would try and make more of an effort. For my sake, no one else's, as I think it will make me even more confident when the nicer weather comes. So I've got some lovely tops, skinny jeans etc on the way, hopefully they'll arrive today!

I even bought a pair of black skinny jeans at the weekend and a new pair of sort of biker type boots for work as I felt I was too dressed up and when I rarely have contact with the public I can dress a bit more casual. Got them on today and I've even got some make up on...that's a huge step for me as I only wear make up if I'm going out. I've only got bb cream and mascara on but find it makes my skin look much smoother and I've got a couple of cracking spots at the moment! Sorry for the wee essay there...but I'm feeling read for the day

 

[Emily0505]

That was a lovely update hun

What kind of dogs do you have?

I wish I had the motivation to work out! I am so lazy though! The most exercise I get is either walking my dogs or running the dog around an agility course!

I always feel better when I've made more effort with myself, even if it just a quick lick of mascara.

I know it's said that lil swimmers can live for up to seven days waiting for eggy but the majority do not love past a few hours. But then I only need one, just one to have been ready and waiting!

I'll see how hubby is feeling later. I'm not home until after 10 tonight so hopefully he'll have had a good day and be up for a bit of celebratory nookie! I'm thinking that he'll just want to go to bed and sleep though!

How is everyone else today?

[hopingforbabyf]

We've got 2 labs and a cavalier King Charles spaniel so it's a bit mental in our house plus two cats aswell!

Yeah I usually can't be bothered making an effort but I think since I've started working out religiously 3 times a week I can definitely see a difference. I didn't realise how much of an impact it can have on how you feel.

Hope hubby is up for celebratory nookie later and you're so right...you just need one wee swimmer to be there to meet that egg!

Just waiting in the doctors now....argh!!

Ho Girls
I'm struggling to keep up with you all!! Had a busy weekend cleaning and decorating so I haven't had much chance to come on here as much as I normally do
Emily it sounds like you've done enough and to be honest sperm do live about 5 days (female being the longer lasting) so if u want a pink bundle your better off DTD the days up to Ovulation and not on the day
I'm 1dpo today as all my Opks were negative yesterday, I will be testing again today but I'm sure I've Ovulated. ..We managed to DTD twice this weekend Sat and Sunday night so im feeling a bit more hopeful than last month, going to try to continue for the next week or so every other day as I may be wrong about Ovulation

Anyway I'm at work and babies need to be immunised so I'll catch up with you all later xxx

 

[Emily0505]

Fingers crossed for good results hun

I'm sure if I could just get into exercising then I would feel better and see good results and then want to do it more but I just have no motivation to do it! It's so bad!

[Emily0505]

We'll we can't do much more now other than wait and see and try and keep positive!

I had a dream last night that I got a bfp! It was lovely to see those two lines

Eeek... what if I get a pink one???? OMG!!!!!!!!!

[millielaura]

Hopingforbaby hope your blood test goes okay I used to be absolutely petrified of needles and throw up and go faint. But now I've got used to them and actually feel fine about them weirdly. Lol think when it's about ttc it's easier to get it done. It's awful waiting to get it done when your scared of needles though xxx massive hugs you'l be fine .
Well done in the work out I might do some yoga later lol not really a work out but helps with my flexibility and anxiety. Sounds like you have loads of lovely new clothes . I used to be a size 6 and gone up to a size 14 in the 15 months ttc so I'm trying to sort myself out lol.

Walking dogs is still good Emily . My anxiety stops me excersize a lot especially with my asthma too. Need to overcome it. Got a phone appointment about my anxiety today so hopefully it will help a bit!

Emma massive finvers crossed for you this tww

[Emily0505]

I just wish I had a bit more enthusiasm to do more!

My fitness level has dropped a lot since I took on my new role at work. I now spend a lot of the day sitting at a desk whereas previously I was out with dogs for a lot of the day. When I walk the dogs at work now, I can really feel how I am not as fit as I was. I'm going back to my old role around May time so I should be spending a lot less time sat at a computer and more time out and about and on the move!

[millielaura]

I'm the same for sure, been sat around doing uni work a lot. In May I finish so going to be more active just like round the house cleaning more, more home work outs etc.

I really want charlotte crosbys workout dvd lol

Hope you feel your fitness levels go up again when you change roles back xx

 

[angel6901]

Well after saying I'm 1dpo ive had right sided Ovulation pains this morning! ! So if I DTD Sat and last night would I still be covered?? Should we try again tonight ....I'm pushing my luck as my OH doesn't normally perform so frequently lol xxxx

 

[hopingforbabyf]

I'm sure you'd be fine if he doesn't want to dtd again tonight.

Well my good mood hasn't lasted long - just went to the loo and I'm spotting

 

[millielaura]

It can't hurt to dtd but if you've had ov pains today then I think the spermies from last night and saturday will probs be the ones to get the egg anyway

Oh nooo sorry hoping for baby . Could it be IB?? Xxx

 

[Emily0505]

Emma, it wouldn't hurt to try again tonight hun. I shall be seeing if my oh is in the mood but I'm not holding my breath as he's likely to be worn out this evening.

Hopingforbabyf- where are you in your cycle?

[hopingforbabyf]

I'm currently cd20. My passed 3 cycles have been 30/26/24 so I'm wondering if they're getting shorter again
