Trying for a Baby Part 9

ema_o

Hi ladies, sorry I've not managed to get on. I'm in the 2ww, not sure what I'm expecting this month as we didn't have many chances to DTD (been on hols sharing room with little un).
Love the sound of your illustrative waking up bigzippy, mine is 6.30 on a work day, 7.30 if I'm lucky at the weekends (not that I'd change my small alarm clock lol).
Sticky dust to all x

Becca, sorry just realised I didn't say when I ovd, I think it was cd15 which puts me 7dpo.

Also (just reading back) noticed the talk about implantation bleeding, I had it when I got pregnant, and I remember it was quite a while after before I got a positive (certainly a few days, maybe a week).

Em x

My ladies are really sore like I'm at the end of my luteal phase but then no idea when Oved and I'm only cd27 according to ff, which if I Oved when I first suspected on cd18 means I'm 9dpo which fits in with soreness but that's three days earlier than my before miscarriage cycle so I'm finding it hard to believe, plus I usually dry up completely straight after ov but instead I've been having clear but not very stretchy cm.

Not that I'm complaining, a 30 day cycle would make me the happiest in the world lol

Happy Mothers day for those lucky ladies with a forever baby, lots of love to those who've lost in the last year, hope today isn't too tough for you x x

Morning ladies. Happy Sunday! Snowing a little here.
Ff has declared that I ovulated on cd20 ( not sure I agree as my temperatures arent too reliable. Been mostly sleep reprieved and waking at funny hours.) so I am 4dpo today. I don't usually ovulate until cd25 so I'm not doing badly this month. I'm gonna put it down to vitamins, epo and weight loss. Only 5lbs to go until my target! Already lost 11lbs.

Quick question, I usually have a 7 day lp, 9 days last month but lots of spotting. Will I only have a 7 day lp and my cycle adjust down to 28 days?

Going for '21 day bloods' on Friday.

Hope everyone is doing ok x

Good morning ladies!

Tested this morning and as far as I can tell it's a negative. At least I made it to test day without AF showing up this time! That's a big improvement over my recent cycles... No signs of AF yet, thank goodness. I'm beginning to wonder if the ic's that I have aren't good at picking stuff up. :huh:

DH and I may be going out today, depends on how snowy/icy it still is outside. He needs new shoes, and I may pick up a more recommended test. I won't pay for a digital unless AF stays away until Friday (*fingers crossed*).

As a side note - I have had nausea quite badly for the past 4 days, especially yesterday and last night. DH had a hangover yesterday morning (with vomiting) and was sick again last night, so that probably had a bit to do with it yesterday. The good news about yesterday is that we bought just over 5 kg of chicken (legs and thighs) for under £7! It's all been frozen and our freezer is absolutely full now. Keeps me from buying ice cream because we have no space for it! :rotfl:

Since my mom is in America, I celebrate mother's day twice a year. Once for the UK date, and again for the US date (which I believe is the first or second Sunday in May this year...). They just had their change to DST, so there's only a 4 hour difference between the time zones until the end of the month. That's going to be a bit weird.

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a wonderful day today and that each and every one of you can enjoy it.

Ugh nothing says barren failure quite like a special day dedicated to mummies that I can't celebrate because I don't have kids. Where are my flowers and breakfast in bed eh? Just have to spoil my mum instead I suppose and avoid Facebook.

Only lost half a pound this week but have been a little piggy so I guess that didn't help. Also had a really sore tummy for days now which isn't helping but has at least made sticking to my fast days a bit easier.

Think I may be 1dpo but not putting it in pink until I'm sure. We did manage a BD yesterday fingers crossed mg body is feeling co-operative.

Vic your lp should remain constant within a day or so.

It's snowing here which just isn't fair. We had a lovely week or so and then it starts being cold and rubbish. We were supposed to be going to the animal shelter to look at dogs today but I think cause of this DH will refuse to drive and it means I won't see my mummy either - her and my dad live in a rural area and when it snows its impossible to get there. I really need a cuddle from my mummy.

Hugs and chocolate to everyone who wants/needs it especially today. It's a tough one for those who have losses and those failing to fall pregnant at all so I think we should nominate a day for us - mothers in waiting where we're nice to ourselves.

Eta just seen your post Mrs T_M. Sorry about the negative. If you're having trouble believing the ics, what I normally do (usually when I get a tlp) is get a digital. I've only done this a couple of times when I've had bad evaps on a load of tests. It's expensive but it spells it out for you either way. I tend to get evaps or faint lines on about 90% of the ics I've done.

I've never even gotten evaps before, unless those two from my 9dpo test were evaps (even though they were pink). Since I'm only 12DPO, I'm going to give it until Friday before I buy a digital, which will put me at 17DPO, so there should be something an hpt can show by then or an AF first. Meh, knowing my luck, I'll be one of those women who hpt's don't work for until they are 3-4 months along...

Oh no! So I might not make it to 12 dpo?

Ugh I stupidly checked Facebook when I woke up to find my newsfeed obviously filled with mushy messages. As much as I agree with the sentiments and love my mum I can't help but feel slightly bitter. OH has no idea why I'm abut blaaah, don't think men quite understand though.
Hugs to all that are feeling it today! We'll get our day soon

I knew I'd find some like minded souls on her. I am HATING this Mothers Day. Yes, I know it should be about my Mum but it just makes my lack of offspring sting even more today.
