Trying for a Baby part 5....

Primmer

QQ - thats the good thing about the cbfm as last cycle my peaks were cd9&10 and this cycle I am on cd11 and got my first peak and so if your cycles alter about at least you can ensure that you are dtd at the right time.

Madbird - feeling bit better today and so back in the office and got an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow afternoon - so fingers crossed something will get sorted. Glad to hear yu are feeling a bit better - you take it easy.

Bamby - I am not on any particular diet - just trying to eat more healthily and exercise more. I have started the couch to 5k challenge which is on another thread here and hope to go out running again tonight as long as it is not pouring down!

FairyShazza - well done on the weight loss - if I can't lose the weight more just trying to eat more healthily and excerise more then I am considering joining slimming world.

GTS - thanks for the latest test list - how you doing?

Thank you so much for all the advice and pma guys. I honestly don;t know what I would do with out you all.

i haven't really mentioned it to OH since yesterday, we have an appt with my doc next tues so I think we will go there and get all the info then have a proper chat to decide what we want to do, That way he has a week to mull it over. In the meantime I'll do some research as to what changes he can make to help himself.

thanks again guys, I may be AWOL for a few days to get my head together. I will let you know though what happens at docs next week and any developments in the meantime..x

p.s whoever asked about holidays, yes OH has a week off in august, but we are looking at going to spain so not sure he will be cooled down at all :rotfl:

Peaks on 9/10, that's amazing. Without CBFM, you may still have been here:p

Indeed, that's why I'm so enamoured of the little machine!

Hi, Im new here,
just looking for people in a similar position to me.
Been trying a few months, it took me forever to to get my husband to agree now was a good time, he eventually agreed, then low and behold, its not happening...
This month i feel like ive had allot of symptoms, cramping since ovulation, every day, on 7dpo I woke up in the night with the sharpest stab, when I read up on this i really hoped this could have been implantation, ever since then the cramping has continued, however I also stared to feel nauseas, and was actually sick on 11dpo which took me by surprise! Nothing since though, although do feel a bit off..
I tested on:
9dpo - BFN
11DPO - BFN
13 DPO - BFN
14 DPO - BFN
today is 14 DPO but the cramps have certainly stepped up a level and feel exactly like they usually would on day 28 - 30 so im out again i suppose,
has anyone had al this but still been pregnant?

Hi Luce. I'm over on the <12weeks thread now but I'm still lurking. I had cramps exactly like AF for a couple of weeks, starting from a few days before AF was due and from reading around I think this is quite common. Unfortunately early pg symptoms are so similar to AF it's impossible to tell. I would say try to relax and stop testing every day if you can (easier said than done I know ). You'll know pretty soon one way or the other anyway.

Fingers crossed for a BFP but if not make sure you stick around on the thread...it really helps to not feel like you're the only one going through it and you'll get loads of support from the other lovely ladies on here.

Hi ladies. Sorry to those who's been caught by the witch. Nasty mare!

I have a few (probably very stupid) questions but please remember I'm still new to all this and I've realised quite uneducated about the whole thing!

Ok, the EWCM you all speak of - how do I know what it is and when is it that I'm supposed to get it? From my googling I'm not sure I ever get it!? Would you say its something that'll only be around after i've got back to pill-less cycles? Or should I be worried?

How do i know when I'm ov'ing? I haven't got a clue about working out how many days PO I am.

Also, did anyone bother testing in their first month after the pill? If so, when? I haven't got a clue when to actually expect af this month and how long I should wait to test if it doesn't arrive. I'm sure there's no right answer but I wondered what you lovely lot did before your first non pill af? I am cd24 and already had cramps yesterday so I'm expecting it sooner than later but I like the idea of looking towards a date.

Sorry for the lame questions x

There are no lame questions on here .

For me first cycle after BCP was 34 days (normally 25-27 days) but this varies so much I wouldn't focus too much on ther people's experiences. I did test after 30 days with an IC and planned to test every fortnight after that to help with dating in case of a BFP but maybe that's ott.

Also, I never had much in the way of EWCM before or after the pill. Make sure you use a sperm friendly lube if you need it.

Thank you Claire. It just seems like you all know soooooo much so I feel like the dunce!

Ok, next stupid question - what is IC? How long did it take you all to get into a regular cycle? What cycle length is considered too short and too long? Sorry, questions galore all of a sudden!

Feed me as much info as poss - I suddenly feel pretty silly not having learnt all this before!

So if I give myself a test date of 19th June that'll be me at cd35. Do you think that's ok as my first date to work towards?

Lucebuttons, I had exactly the same but was not pregnant:p
Don't stress too much, it'll give you more symptoms (easier said than done, I know).
Fingers crossed AF will stay away:)

Doglover, everyone's different, but in my case, I get ewcm 2, 3days and then nothing. That nothing day seems to be my ov day.
The ov day would be 0DPO, a day after will be 1DPO.

There's ewcm info here:http://www.fertilinet.com/Cervical%20Fluid%20and%20Fertility.htm

Don't know about the pill sorry.
