ms2011 fingers crossed in the same boobs beyond sore. barbiegirl thats so funny happy to be nauseous
my cycle abit funny first was 33 days then 32 and my last one was 38 so seems to be going up all the time, i hoping this is normal... i would have predicted that id have my period by 25th this month and thats adding on days for change in cycle.

Oh fingers crossed Ms2011 x
Hope all those getting scans went well.
I'm on CD58 and had alot of ew mucus today. Had a faint-good line on opk yest but today it was faint again? Do those opk tests work for everyone??
My boobs have been killing me for about a fortnight and also my skin is errupting and i never ever get a spot...these are whoppers :eek:
I did a test yesterday just to be sure but it was negative. Not sure what to make of OPK test..

MS2011, how can you not test??!! You have about a 95% chance of getting an accurate result once you reach 12dpo. Go for it girl!
Eugh, I've been having a pity party lately, feel like this baby is never gonna come. I had a vivid dream last Thursday night that I was still pg and was at the date I should be at in real life (17 weeks last Saturday). I woke up devastated to say the least. Was driving into work trying to pull myself together in the car. Then, Adele's "Someone Like You" came on and I just broke down, that song was in the charts when I had my m/c, also the lyrics are very poignant - "Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, "Sometimes it lasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead"..... I feel like I'm forgetting about my baby and s/he's forgetting about me
The Clomid had a lot to do with it, it made me mega depressed. I finished this months dose on Saturday thank god. I up'd my dose (without doctors consent) so the side effects were double (am not condoning that btw!)
So, what have I been doing to pull myself out of the depression and be more proactive about this ttc business this cycle:
- Have started myself and DH on Vitamin D (google it - apparently it is excellent for boosting fertility and apparently most of us are deficient, a Harvard study links the deficiency to infertility!)
- Statred Benilyn today, 2 spoons, 3 times per day. I REALLY need to improve my CM, it has been non existent due to the Clomid. I read that non-existent CM can practically cancel any benefits of Clomid because the cervix is just too inhospitable to the spermies when there's little or no mucus.
- Drinking more water (no water no CM)
- exercise (am trying to jog every second might as it seems to lift my mood and take my mind off ttc)
- Am on CD 8 today so will kick off the lovemaking tonight
hope you all are well. I've been lurking everyday and reading all your posts avidly, have just been too depressed to contribute anything worthwhile 0 -

I have 3 tests left so I've had to be strict with myself about testing.
I'm going to test Wednesday morning if AF hasn't arrived, if I get a negative and AF hasn't arrived by Sunday I'll test again (this is actually my Fertility Friend test day). I am going down to the country the following Tuesday to see my parents so if AF still hasn't arrived and I haven't got a positive yet I will test again with my last test, I'd like to have some good news to tell my parents when I see them face to face, I don't get to see them as much as I would like so I'd rather be able to give any good news to them in person rather than over the phone.
Can you tell I've been obessing about my testing 'plan' ha, I've had it down to the last detail
My OH had a dream last night that we had a baby girl, let's hope this means somethingDetectivFoxtrot wrote: »Eugh, I've been having a pity party lately, feel like this baby is never gonna come.

Detectiv, you sound so down I so wish you could get a positive soon, you truly deserve it & you sound like you have so much love to give your future baba x
You might have already tried it, but I used the Robitussin this month & found it extremely effective. I actually thought I was ovulating I had so much mucus after 2 days using it.
Dublinlady, good to hear from you!fingers crossed for you this month, hopefully your 2 week wait wont take too long to pass!
Tigeress, that's so lovely a little Holly or Noel
Quins5, that's fantastic that you've your first scan! I hope it goes well!
Newbie I'm having the same problem with the current OPK's I have. I've used them successfully before, never had to wait the full 3 minutes before getting a positive.
This month I seem to get a few days of extra mucus, but when I test the second does appear; albeit faintly.
Its so frustrating as each time I thought I was about to ovulate, but I've yet to get the full on second line as dark as the first.
I was convinced I was ovulating CD11/12 & again CD22/23. I'm currently CD33 & getting more mucus (I'm not taking robitussin or anything to increase it).
My cycle just seems to be so completely all over the shop, its no wonder I can't get pregnant, I can't figure out when (if at all) that I'm ovulating :mad:
I did find the clearblue digital opk's really good & I'm going to invest in those for next month.
They're straightforward either smiley face = ovulating or blank circle = not ovulating.
Its gas, I was stressing earlier in the month as my GP has me booked for a colonoscopy Friday after next. When I got the appointment letter I was worried in case I might be pregnant when the appointment came around the wouldn't be able to have the test done.
I don't think at this rate that there will be much chance of a BFP this month though!
If I do get a bfp it'll be a whole other quandry, my mum in law passed away from bowel cancer so I'd hate to put off the test.0 -
Well I had my 1st scan today and saw the heart beating
It looked like a blob, but a blob with a strong heart beat so we're over the moon!!! woooohoooooo! The nurse dated us at 7wks 6 days which makes us 8wks tomoro (2 days ahead of my dates yay!)
I couldnt keep it quiet anylonger and blurted it out as soon as we got to my parents house, everyone is so thrilled for us its fantastic
We are all still very aware that its still early days so wont be telling work or friends for another few weeks I think. Just so happy the babys heart was beating

oooh...loving all the first scan news. Hope it was everything you wished for.
For all the 2-weekers, good luck
DFT, Grawns and Lucyfur hope you're feeling a little bit brighter everyday. I think this is the most personal and heartfelt public forum I've ever read and I feel i'm slowly getting to know everyones situation.
I'm on Day 61, still lots of ewm and an ok line on the opk so just doing the deed as often as hubby can muster up the energy. Am really hoping for some change next week...even AF would be a welcome relief now!0 -
thanks for all the very kind comments ladies, you are all so supportive, don't know where I'd be without ya
I'm feeling a bit better today. Re-booked the laparoscopy - having it done on 28th June, this day 4 weeks. They said they could do it in two weeks time but it would have meant abstaining from ttc this month and there was no way I am going to miss out on one of my medicated cycles, particularly as the medicine was such a bitch to take this time round.
Tigeress: Xmas baby - how lovely!0 -
