empty life is shite, and unfair and cruel, with no explanation. I am so sorry xxx

LadyGoneGaga · 24/08/2010 15:33

Oh empty. I just don't know what to say. It's so cruel. I'm so, so sorry. Love to you and your DP. Take good care of yourself.

emptyshell · 24/08/2010 15:05

Remove me from the list please.

My username's very apt. Went for the scan today - just an empty sack. Died at 5 weeks - waiting for the inevitable.

LadyGoneGaga · 24/08/2010 14:37

Naughty silver. Tis very tempting to leave them hanging though! Glad you're feeling good.

newyearsday · 24/08/2010 13:41

I like this thread too xx

Ifatfirst I'm confused about OV too and I fluffed my temp yesterday morning (stress head). I woke up twice in the early hours and temped before waking at 7am and temping again, I don't know what I was thinking! Anyway, had a slight temp rise this morning and am feeling calm and normal again, so hormonal crisis averted. Phew. ;0)

LittleSilver · 24/08/2010 13:01

Really well, thanks Lady! Lots of energy, feeling fine! Def happier now know it's viable. Wondering if I'll tell boss soon or wait til 25 weeks. Purely for the hell of it you understand, it's extremely obvious I'm pg right now but he keeps sneaking sideways looks and biting hhis lip!

LadyGoneGaga · 24/08/2010 12:57

Yay, Silver! How are you feeling?

LittleSilver · 24/08/2010 12:45

LOL hippy at your DH! Sounds as romantic as mine!

Well, just back from my booking appt with mw and heard hb! Big relief. Only found out we had a mmc at 12 weeks with DC1, so it's always been in the back of mind ever since.

Love to all.

hippychick66 · 24/08/2010 12:23

ifatfirst is there any way you could be ov'ing today instead of day 14. Pains on one side and a dip in temp this morning???? Just a thought. Might be worth a SWI just incase. But if there are lots of troops up there already or you're sure you've ov'd don't worry.

My DH did a lovely romantic proposal. However, I must add that we had been together for 9 years and had 2 kids by then. Also i told him I wanted to be married before I was 40 and he married me 3 days before my 40th birthday - ha bloody ha.

This is indeed a lucky thread. Completely understand you wanting to stay on here and not being ready to move to preggo threads bessie. If I get another BFP i wont even dare add my name to the list cos of my 2 false starts this year. Hang about as long as you like, lovie. xx

batteryhen · 24/08/2010 11:31

Morning :)

I like this thread - its a nice place to be :)

salad thanks for the congrats - I agree with ladygg - until AF is here- it aint over!

ladygg - I am still temping too - I find it quite reassuring!

Have added my stats in - as you can see I am a woman of little patience and POAS at 10 dpo.It was in the afternoon too so I am surprised I got a bfp then! Of course I have POAS about 6 times since

LadyGoneGaga · 24/08/2010 09:39

Salad Might still be ok. My temps dipped day before I got BFP. Thought it was all over as had had 2 BFN's, next morning temps shot up so I POAS again and got the BFP. Not over til fat lady sings.

You will also note I still haven't stopped taking my temperature (saddo!)

bessie26 · 23/08/2010 22:24

wow! 9 BFPs! Grin 'tis definitely a lucky thread - may Baby Dust fall on all who post here Grin

so is it ok if we still lurk around on here? I've been over to look at the pg threads, but there isn't one for people finding it hard to stop taking their temp every day Wink

my DH turned the TV off when he proposed - that's how romantic he is Grin

ifatfirst fingers crossed your temp gets back up tomorrow - do you sleep with your mouth open? I think I must do as my (oral) temps wobble about all over the place!

hippy - hope it's warm where you are - it's far too cold in my house for cropped tops & shorty-shorts! Wink

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 23/08/2010 21:10

ooooh, I'm clinging on to this lucky thread. Congrats to all you very lucky ladies!

Fertility friend has just confused me, yesterday it said I ov'd on CD14, now its CD15 (so I'm now on DPO3). It doesnt make too much of a difference except that the only day we didnt do the deed was the day after ov!

I confused myself further as my temp took a big dip this morning, lets hope this is just a one off! Confused

I have been suffering with with achey cramps in the left hand side of my lower stomach today. I'm hoping that it's nothing nasty as it's too early for implantation pains!

LOL Grin

Saladbomb · 23/08/2010 20:57

Can i ask a question? If my last cycle (and first FF one) was 27 days long why would FF predict a 28 day cycle for this month as surely it will only have last month to go on? Confused

(I am trying to work out when I can realistically POAS, I think thursday but FF says friday)

hippy don't let this delay your 'early night' tho :o

LittleSilver · 23/08/2010 20:56

Sleep well Wink

hippychick66 · 23/08/2010 20:53

silver you hormonal riddled woman Smile.

I got a temp dip this morning and a pos on OPK tonight - so I'm off for an early night Wink

LittleSilver · 23/08/2010 20:50

Guys, I am going all misty-eyed here Blush. We've all supported each other through ups and downs, and it's so great to have each other as a support network. It's so good to see that list, here's praying for many more! And I apologise for my sentimental hormones!

Saladbomb · 23/08/2010 20:48

congrates battery great news for you!!

Well, my temp has dropped back down to a little over what it was just after I oved so its not looking good oh well, first month of charting, I mustn't be greedy :D I will take heart from the grad list.

ladyGG I'm glad the great reveal went well, if it makes you feel any better my OH and I had discussed the possibility of marriage very vaguely a couple of times. I mentioned off the cuff that we might get married to my sister, who promptly told my mum, who phoned me up saying 'I hear congratulations are in order'. :D When I told OH that my folks had got the idea we were getting married, he said "might as well then" v v romantic. I also bought my own engagement ring when I was in the FE with work as they are so much cheaper over there. still 7 years and no sign of divorce yet so cant be all bad. :o

spilttheteaagain · 23/08/2010 20:31

Ooh there was also teason and Ell for the graduate list. Hopefully they will add themselves. That makes 10 Shock

hippychick66 · 23/08/2010 20:16

Wow this thread has produced 8 BFP's since little silver started it (9 if you count mine back at the end of May that started it all off).

I feel like we all know a secret that everyone else who is TTC doesn't - charting bloody well works!!!!

bessie26 · 23/08/2010 20:01

Huge congrats battery and belated birthday wishes for hippy

Hope the various EWCM dances are working Wink

silver I am still occasionally temping Blush

LittleSilver · 23/08/2010 19:51

In a way, I wished I had temped longer so as to more appreciate a triphasic chart (mine did go triphasic but stopped temping as soon as I got BFP (at 11dpo) just in case it dipped and I was left wibbling iyswim.). But I do occasionally log on to FF to admire the triphasiness of it all and that lovely little plus on the bottom right.
