    Would also like to point out that I never had sore boobs, cramps etc in the lead up to period before TTC but now I seem to have them every month - is there a physical reason for this or is it all in my head??
    Apparently after ov your progesterone level goes up, and your body starts to take on more water (ready for the uterus should you be preg) and this can collect in the boobs and cause pain. It's supposed to start being peed out for the week before AF. It could be that you're more aware of them now than you ever were before ;):)

    I however don't know whether I have symptoms cos I've actually ov'd for a change, or because I might have gotten lucky... not that it's doing my head in or anything!

    Yesterdays PMA seems to have vanished, today I'm really blue that it's going to be at least another 4 months till I even have a hope of graduating.
    :( It doesn't mean you don't have a hope, but I can understand why you'd try and guard your heart that way :o

    I hope I don’t come across as insensitive posting this after so many unwanted CD1’s (and I apologise in advance if anyone takes offence) but I’m getting fed up of waiting for my CD1.

    I know it’s only CD41 but I was really hoping that I would start getting normal cycles. My thinking is that once I start having normal cycles I might be in with a chance of ovulating and then (and only then) I might actually have a chance of conceiving. This is starting to get me down now :(
    I know the feeling hun, but try not to take for granted that your cycles will be the same length/shorter than the one before - I made that mistake and it's a killer.:( I'm in a monster length (tho there've been longer!) cycle atm, as I'm now CD66 and my ov date was CD58, so don't lose hope. :)


    Incidentally (I know I'm getting my hopes up too much btw :o), my FF now says "If you conceived this cycle your due date would be:
    April 09, 2012" ...which would mean it would be born before my 30th, even if it was 2wks overdue... :o (Cannot tell you how much I want it. I know I don't really need to, like, but yous know what I mean...:o It would be an awesome bday present for DH at the end of this week, and an awesome 30th bday present for me next year tho....;):o)

    DH said "every time you say you've got sore boobs, feel sicky, feel funny, stomach is hard, or anything like that, I think about it...and wonder when the earliest it would show on a test...?" So I said the earliest was in 2 days... (his bday!) He told me how much he wants it again too, that he wants it "for us". His mum was telling me today that she thinks he's the happiest he's ever been, and that "having a kiddy would be the icing on the cake for him, but it's not a deal breaker" ...bless him. I told her today about the PCOS (I didn't tell her before now). She told me that she wanted more kids (she mc'd twins at 5months 3yrs before DH was born) but "it just wasn't to be". Bless her. :o I can't wait to make her a granny :)

    Hello again. :)

    I am back after some time off following my last miscarriage. OH and I started trying again this month and I'm currently in the two-week wait. Not sure when I OVd this month, I had the EWCM for days and days, but I was ill so we only DTD once, last Thursday night, so...

    I do fall PG easily (just can;t keep them :( ) so I might be lucky, am taking Pregnacare in case, not drinking, stopped coffee, although not tea, not yet anyway.
    Good luck skintchick, and welcome back too (not that I'd want you to be here for these reasons... :o) I hope you get a sticky bean soon :)

    I think it's some health care plan that you pay into and they pay out for things such as dental, operations and pregnancy. They were discussing it on the waiting to TTC thread a while back

    xx
    Aye, there's Medicash, which I keep meaning to sign up for cos I need to get some new glasses and want dental cover, and they pay out an amount (the amount depends on the amount you pay a month) on the birth of a child (from a year after you start the policy)

    I forgot to change the delivery address on amazon so my TTc goodies are being delivered to Mum and Dad's!!! I've had to say its some stuff DH ordered on my account!! Only trouble is it means it'll take longer to get them as I have to make a special trip to pick them up! I'm at their house now but only 1 thing has come any typiacally its not the BBT which is what I really want to get started with!!
    Oops! :shocked: Good job they come in inconspicuous packaging!

    Hello ladies, I'm feeling rubbish today :(

    Just been feeling horrid all day and despite the lovely weather I can't pull myself out of the blues. I know I'm being daft.

    ((hugs)) hope you feel better soon

    I know what you mean- that naughty FF is telling me if we got lucky this cycle then ours would be due 6th April which is less than two weeks after our anniversary. I keep thinking how that would be the best present ever! :o

    Morning all,

    Day 13 here, and the third day of a high on CBFM. It sounds as though I could be textbook ovulating on day 14. Moon and I DTD last night just in case, and hopefully will tonight too. Don't know why, but I've just got a good feeling about this cycle. Fingers crossed I'm right.

    Bigzippy I hope you get a sticky bean soon so you can be a little family. Your due date would be the day before my first wedding anniversary.

    According to babycentre's due-date checker, my bean would be due Friday April 20th.

    I had a nice time at the spa yesterday avo, although it was a bit awkward as I had to go to the loo before my back massage, as she did the waxing then the facial first and I wanted to enjoy the back massage without having to think about needing to go to the loo. I had to go wearing a towel and those little paper knickers (had a bikini wax too).:rotfl:Luckily no-one was around.

    Hugs for all who need or want them,

    sexymouse x
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I had a nightmare when I got home last night, I realised one of my white gold earings the other half bought me for my birthday just a week and a half ago had come out. Spent absolutely ages looking for it, even went through the bin and freezer would you believe lol! Anyway, pull up at work this morning and what do I find..... one shiney earing staring up at me from down the side of the seat - phew!!! In all the panic I have realised that after my pinkish CM yesterday afternoon my CM has now reverted back to normal? Still cramping though so I'm sure it will start properly later on but I can dream cant I :0)

    How is everyone else doing this morning? Hopefully all the relaxing in the Spa will help with your TTC Sexymouse, I'll keep it all crossed for you 0oJVLqmuA78AAAAASUVORK5CYII=

    Good morning folks:wave:

    6DPO, went swimming yesterday (didn't last long, maybe 15 mins:o), been to the gym today:)
    I'm seeing my childhood friend on Sunday. Hope I'll look pretty good by then:o

    Laura, hugs for CD1
    smiley_hug.gif
    You'll earn a lot of money though:o
    colli, I get acupuncture too:) It's very relaxing if nothing else.
    Fannyanna, (((hugs))). I try to induce ov by exercising my middle. Just to wake my ovaries up:o
    Kaemi, good PMA:cool: Would you like to try Agnus Castus? You are supposed to take it from AF to ov, and it is supposed to regulate your cycles:) I've never tried, but have a google and see if you'd like to try or not. Just a thought, not a medical advice, as I have absolutely no medical knowledge:o
    LittleMissGiggle, my medical plan gives me only £100 on birth:o
    skintchick, sorry to see you back:o
    Hope you caught your bean this cycle, and it's a forever baby:)
    lisa26, hope your parents know you are TTC:o
    Bigzee, you have a lovely DH and MIL:o
    Medicash sounds great, just had a lookie. My medical plan doesn't pay for anything, unless I have to be hospitalised. I realise it's not the same thing, I see one needs both:cool:
    sexymouse, glad you had a great time at the spa, I try not to drink too much before these things, so that I don't end up going in the middle looking like you:p
    Fingers crossed this is your cycle for a lovely spring baby:)
