Right, not going to test until AF due, not going to obsess over sore boobs, not going to think about baby names, not going to give up alcohol. Anyone want to join me in pretending to not obsess about symptoms/lack of?

I will, I'm CD16 today had very early miscarriage last month, 4+ 6, I am determined not to test this cycle until I am at least a week late, I am not very confident about a BFP as I was not allowed to take my Clomid as it is not classed as a natural cycle, anyway given it ago now aiting to see what happens

FruitynNutty · 06/05/2008 12:58

Count me in! - For the time being anyway. I'm on CD39 and apparently 5DPO. This is a first for me as I have PCOS and have mega cycles and dont ovulate so actually ovulating is huge for me, getting a BFP would be the icing on the cake .
Last time Fertility Friend predicted ovulation for me it turned out to be a fever causing the high temps so my lines were taken away . This time round I feel fine, except for a tickly cough. I'm hoping my higher temp isnt due to the cough! I've been advised by FF to do an HPT on 20th May - seems ages away!

PrePG · 06/05/2008 13:27

Can I join you? I'm 5dpo. Had a miscarriage in March and waited one normal cycle, so this is our first month back into TTC. Told myself I wasn't going to obsess and bank holiday weekend was good in that we had three whole days where I wasn't sitting in front of a computer (aka obsessive symptom checking machine!). Found myself 'innocently' googling 5dpo by noon, though!

yellowflowers · 06/05/2008 13:41

hello ladies, so pleased to have people to wait with. I think I am 4dpo but not completely sure as cycle varies and fertility friends thinks I ovulated yesterday but i think Sat. Going to try to wait until the 20th to test too,

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 13:31

ooh my temp has shot up this morning I hope it's not cos the weather is warmer

PrePG · 07/05/2008 13:37

Fruity have you posted your chart?

Yellowflowers & Fruity FF is cruel, cruel, cruel

tousletop · 07/05/2008 13:57

Please can I join in? 6 dpo, trying for DC2 for 6 months. Feeling so stressed about it all....
Feeling worse as one of my best friends announced this morning that she's pregnant again without really trying - we had, by chance, our DDs within a few weeks of each other last time, and I was sort of hoping this time might be the same. Can't be anything but excited and happy for her, just think its increased the stress for me.
Fruity - it was quite chilly first thing I think, so I'm sure it was a proper result...

littlemissdaisy · 07/05/2008 13:58

Why is FF Cruel, I have just signed up

PrePG · 07/05/2008 14:11

Ah littlemissdaisy I'm just kidding really. But FF gives you readings as you go along, but based on what you input, it might change its mind about when you ovulated. So for me, this month I had what looked like a bit of a temp rise around CD14 which is normally early for me but no fertile CM. FF told me that I ovulated on CD14. Then a few days later, I had watery CM and another temp rise - FF took away my first ovulation date based on the presence of fertile mucus, but won't confirm ovulation until you have three high temps. So I had two or three days where it took away my OV, but didn't give me a new one You'll see as you go along - you get so excited when it gives you an OV date adn then you're just crushed when it takes it away . It's just a little frustrating.

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 14:22

Hi tousletop you're 6dpo like me and PrePG Yes it's a kick in the a*se when your friends announce they are preg, especially from the ones who haven't been trying It was baking hot when I woke this morning here in sunny SW London. I dont think body temp should change that much when it's hot I dont know.
I agree
PrePG FF is cruel. I had high temps a while ago but it turned out I had a fever . I got so excited when I saw those ov lines. I know I'll be really disappointed if they get taken away this time round. It's the 1st time I've ov'ed since I started charting at Christmas thanks to PCOS

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 14:24

oh yeah, I've posted my chart on the temping ladies chart thread. I'm under Fruity or Fruitloop

tousletop · 07/05/2008 15:43

Fruity - you must be due some positive results soon after all that charting, hope the next few days confirm ov...
Preg - surely if you had all the signs of ov, then you did, no matter what FF says...
Lets try our hardest to make this the luckiest of lucky threads

PrePG · 07/05/2008 16:20

I wish it was that easy tousletop! This is my first cycle after mc, so things were slightly out of whack. My CM was watery at best and never got to EW at all, so I really didn't know when I was likely to O.

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 17:57

This WILL be a lucky thread I tell ya
PrePG I dont think I ever really got proper EWCM either, i think i mistook it for DP's swimmers quite a lot Hard to tell really

babyignoramus · 07/05/2008 19:05

Can I join in too?

Haven't ovulated yet but know from when I've had breaks from the pill before that I tend to have a short cycle with an early ovulation so should be any day now! And will be able to test in 2 weeks so I think I qulaify for this thread....!

Haven't bothered with charting yet (this will be my first DC), so instead have BD'd every day for the last week and am going to do it every day until the end of my cycle. DH is loving it (although knackered!).

Fingers crossed for me and everyone else!

tousletop · 07/05/2008 19:22

Sorry PrePG, I don't know why I assume that other people should know whats going on when I don't have a clue
I was also all over place this month - had no ewcm (normally have for 5 days or so), so BD on day 12. We were going to wait for positive OPK as DHs swimmers a bit rubbish, but thought it would be OK. Then next day masses of ewcm, and following day OPK positive, so BD that night. Really annoyed that could have missed fertile day, as I used the digital kit first thing in the morning, so could have already ov by the time it became positive, I think. Anyone know anything about it? (also first time we BD it was a bit rubbish - and I think the swimmers may have ahem, swum in the wrong direction)
Babyig - despite everything we're all doing, nothing could be better that just BD every 2 days and chilling out about it, and we might all have happier DHs like yours

2beautifulgirls · 07/05/2008 19:30

Can i join please i'm due AF 18/05 think i ov friday or saturday CD13-14 as had EWCM both those days.
We're TTC #3 and this is our third cycle.

tousletop · 07/05/2008 19:55

The other thing I meant to say PrePG is that I've heard that you're meant to be more fertile after a mc for a couple of months.
Hi again 2BG, weren't we waiting together last month?

2beautifulgirls · 07/05/2008 20:03

I think so, hopefully it will be our lucky month this month. Then we can be on the antenatal threads together
When are you due AF?

beaniesteve · 07/05/2008 21:39

Count me in. 2ww started around the 4th for me I think. I have a short cycle though so am due on Tuesday/Wednesday!

troublewithdd · 07/05/2008 21:43

i really feel for you all, my first child took 18 months to conceive, then number 2, took 2 and half years to conceive, then surprise no. 3- 15 months later. They are now 8, 5 and nearlt 4. So don't give up girls...............hang on it there. xxx

Hi 2BG, should be due by 17th I think..

Beanie, you'll be the first to hopefully have a BFP!

Yellow, isn't it awful that we can't just be selflessly happy for good fortune in other people? Really really wish I could.

Gorgeous day - want to be sitting outside a pub by 2pm at latest with large glass white wine, like all happy non obsessed with TTC people....

PrePG · 08/05/2008 10:02

No problem, tousletop I haven't used OPK's but considering so I have a better handle on when it's coming - although, that said, I've consistently O'd CD18, 19 or 20 since I started charting.

Sorry Yellowflowers I know it can be tough. We actually did conceive first cycle of trying, but had a miscarriage, so it feels like a long time that we've been TTC focused even though we had only tried for one cycle prior to mc. I find myself having mixed emotions about people who have pregnancies that go off without a hitch and then I feel horrible and guilty and hate myself afterward.

Oooh, I think I've Beanie beat I'm due on Monday. We'll have to test together!!!!

Welcome to 2BGs and babyignoramus

tousletop · 08/05/2008 10:09

Monday, prePG, that's really exciting!
