Thanks

Had a teeny bit of EWCM this evening and have had a nagging feeling in my side all day - so I'm hoping and wishing that I'm maybe about to ovulate. Gonna head out now for a walk - maybe a bit of exercise will help it along.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks again for your replies :thnk

Really appreciate it!

Hi Steph,

How are you feeling now?

Hey

Thanks for asking :thnk

Still nothing happening O:|

Thought maybe I might have ov'd the other night when I posted about the EWCM, but so far temperatures haven't jumped. Usually with me though it takes 3 or 4 days after ovulation for my temps to get into the upper levels. They rise very gradually. So I'll wait and see what happens.

I spent the most part of yesterday researching ovulation, and what an open/closed cervix feels like, etc, and by the time I got home my eyes were sore from looking at the computer ;o(

I got my blood results back today - thyroid is fine and hormones came back ok. While I'm relieved with the results, I am slightly frustrated that I now have little explanation for what's going on. GP did say that the B Complex could have knocked things out of sync. Also, we moved to new offices in work about a week before I would have been due to ovulate - so maybe the change in routine has played its part?

Still having cramps and if I didn't know any better I would say I'm ovulating, or AF is about to start. But as of last night, I'm trying to ignore it and just get on with things. A watched pot never boils and all that ;o)

How about you??

Hi Septbride,

Don't know if you saw my post on the other thread but it's perfectly fine to take folic acid now. Clonfolic is the one I take, its handy coz the blister pack is marked with the days of the week similar to a pill pack. You can get it in any pharmacy. Whatever brand you get make sure you are taking 400mcg (0.4 mg) per day.

Sorry Steph, I never answered your post yesterday.

Any temp shift or AF yet? Gosh it's very frustrating when you can't make sense of what's happening, I'm in a similar situation. What your GP said about the B complex could be the reason though. Great to hear that all your thyroid and hormone bloods are fine.

I don't know what's going on with my cycle. No AF, numerous BFNs. It's just a waiting game, a very frustrating waiting game O:|

. Getting pregnant is all I can think about the last few days!!! I just can't wait but my body is making me!!!! HURRY UP AF >:o(

ive decided o use OPKs on my next cycle so fingers crossed O-O

ETA: I'm feeling a bit crampy in the last half an hour so fingers crossed AF is in the building. Funny how I'm wishing for AF to come now but this time next week I will be hoping for the opposite! :-8

Arrrggghhh this waiting to OV is doing my head in i dunno if ive missed it or just not OV'd!!! When i was on the pill i used to get OV pains for 2 days on Day 13/14 guaranteed, we DTD a good bit but as i mentioned we used lube and it was toxic so could well have missed, we go conceive plus the other day though so DTD 17,19 and will tonight on 21 so if i OV'd late we shoud be ok! I just want it to be this time next week when AF is due so i know :o0

How are u all doing/feeling? :babydust:

to all

Hi TTC 2012,

I know what you mean about the waiting game - its awful!!! I'm waiting for AF to come and it's driving me insane! O:|

Which pill were you on before? The combined pill stops you from ovulating so you shouldn't have been getting ovulation pains - unless you were on a progesterone only one? I was on a prog only pill but I don't get ov pains so it's harder to tell. I've bought OPKs so hopefully I will see that I'm ovulating when my cycle returns to normal.

Your situation sound promising!!! I've all my fingers crossed for you :babydust:

Keep us updated!

Gosh that's strange TTT2012 isn't it? You are off it now so it doesn't really matter anymore. O-O

Any sign of ov yet? How are you feeling?

Steph - how are you doing?

As for me.....I'm still waiting (and obsessing, can you tell :o0

) for AF to arrive >:o(

Hey

Still the same ;o(

CD49 today and not a peep of anything. Temps are still low so I defo haven't ov'd. Temp took a dip yesterday and then again today, and I have had a few cramps, so I'm wondering if AF is on the way?? My head is positively wrecked. If this cycle hadn't been so messed up, then I would have been due to ov again during the middle of next week sometime. So I think the plan is, I'm going to wait it out until then. If I ov, then great and it just means that I skipped my period altogether this month. If I don't ov, and there's still no sign of any bleeding, then I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do a pregnancy test. If it's a BFN, then I'll be taking myself off to the doctor. If it's BFP, then I'll poop myself :duh:

What CD are you on now?

No sign yet unless ive missed it, but im not using naything yet, waiting on OPKs, have cramps this evening and cant decide if they are OV of AF :o0

Im on CD22 so it could well be OV late, if its AF shes early ive had 27/28 day cycles. I cant get TTC outta my head!!! Im constantly thinking about it, every little twinge n pain wondering if im OV!!

Steph wishing you the best of luck, please god its AF so u can get back on track

Steph - I've pm-ed you ;o)

Tttc2012, I'm the same as you re obsessing!! It's awful isn't it :o0
