  • Hello ladies :)

    I hope you've all had good weekends?

    I started temping on Friday :) It's going well, except yesterdays temp was very high! It was about three hours later than all the others, but I didn't wake up early enough :o Really excited about seeing a pattern emerge, and getting to see when I ov!! Except what won't be for about 3 weeks or more :rolleyes: I'm keeping myself busy with lots of brewing - I've made it into my little project to keep my mind off TTC :D Lets hope it works :rolleyes:

    How's everyone holding up? I hope catw0man and scotsgirl are taking it easy - *hugs* to you both.

    Morning all,

    Apologies have not read any other posts so will go and catch up.

    I have had a rubbish weekend. Over the weekend my ear started hurting and it felt like it may have been a ear infection. I decided to see if it would clear itself up. On Sunday after being in pain all day and night with very little sleep, I went to my local out of hours drs service which is run by the local hospital. I was diagnosed with a bad ear infection. I mentioned that I was trying to conceive in case they wanted to give me anti-biotics I wanted to make sure it would not interfere. I was given some ear drops and told to go back if that did not help. :confused:

    Now apart from my ear huting I had been suffering with back pain and generally feeling a bit down (a bit like PMT) went to the loo and noticed some darker discharge. wiped some more and it was clear. Went back to the loo and there was more discharge and it seem like the start of my period, but very light. Keep checking all evening and spotting and then it would clear up. I had read up and was aware of implantation bleed but did not want to get my hopes up. (although who am i kidding - i did start to think about having a April baby!!)

    Went to bed last night still spotting. I awoke at 3.30am with a very bad pain in my abdomen i went to the toilet and was spotting but heavier. I was in soo much pain i could not sleep and took paracetamol. Went to work this morning and it seems af has come with avengence 2 days early. But i have never had af pain like like night, i was not able to sleep so i have been up since 3.30. :eek:

    Please can you cross me off the list for this month.

    So my ear hurts and i have bad af pains, but am feeling positive am only just starting and i hope that someone will get their BFP in the coming weeks.:T

    On another note (and i hope i am not being to over personal) but i am over weight and am trying to lose some weight as i know that could help with conception, at the moment i am about 16st (5ft 7") and i wonder if any of you lovely ladies would like to join me in my crusade to lose some weight to aid the BFP!!! :j

    1more - yes, sticky ewcm is a good sign that OV is happening or about to, so get BDing when you can!

    Bella, sorry to hear AF has turned up, but onwards and upwards to next cycle and hope your ear infection settles down quickly, x

    I have only just turned the lappy on and was already to say "good morning ladies" :eek: Is that the time already? I'm trying to be all organised today and have been doing some filing and decluttering ( Im trying to be ready for my brew to start and this staycation of ours). Its so nice that DF has surprised me with the extra time off-but when we go on holiday he likes to go self catering and sit around in the garden or park and be lazy-but he's come up with an itenarary for this week :eek: dont get me wrong-Ive not yet done all the "touristy things" and Ive lived in London for two years so it'll be fun-but it would have been so nice to be a bit more organised for it.
    Anyway cd20 for me (or 5dpo) so 13 left to wait (at least DF will be home for 6 of them)
    Bella sorry AF caught up with you. Im desperate to lose some wait (Im 14st) and over the weekend went out to try find some trousers that fit comfortably and came home depressed instead. We eat pretty healthily but my downfall is exercise. I used to post on the lose weight thread and the people there were wonderful but it all got on top of me so I've stopped posting. Im starting this week with half an hour a day doing steps on the wi fit. I'd love for you to pm me with whatever ideas you have.

    redstararnie, you going to go to the doctors? Or you going to leave it?

    I'm not really sure, I think I might just to set my mind to rest. I'm off work for a week from this Thursday, so I think I'll probably go Monday or Tuesday next week (assuming it hasn't shown by then ).

    It's really annoying because I now have absolutely no idea what's going on with my cycle and what to do....
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    I feel exactly the same. OH is all excited and planning what we need to do for the baby! I keep trying to explain he's probably just setting himself up for a disappointment...but he's not having it.

    Was going to order FR from Boots but the first time they can deliver is Friday....which is clearly no good for me. Unless I wait an extra day - but my toilet is being pulled out at the end of the week so I couldn't test at home if I leave it longer than Thurs! Hmmmm....

    Might actually have to risk buying one from a shop...OMG!

    EDIT: Forget that...it's sorted and for less than I was going to pay at Boots.

    Had some odd pains in my stomach earlier (not really painful, but quite sharp) and now my boobs are quite sore. Really wish I knew what was going on.

    Just noticed I appear to be taking over this thread! Sorry ladies, I'll try and curb my rambling.

    Hi ladies back from a fab weekend (went to see my horse who has had to go out on loan due to money and time issues:()
    So sorry to hear your news catw0man, thinking of you this week.

    I have a question - just brought some cheap pg tests on ebay (fingers crossed for Sunday!!) and just wondering if it's OK to buy the Sanatogen pills from there - they are so cheap but don't want anything dodgy!
    Thanks x
