hey peeps :0)

I have been TTC for 3 months now to no avail, no idea why not, as am very healthy, fit and SWI at the 'right' times.
Getting slightly stressed as everyone around me is preggers or recently had a little one, which I am happy about but it seems to be happening to people that have/do all the things that everybody says to avoid having/doing!

I shall begin a list:)

Still no AF, but did a test yesterday and BFN. Now I am getting crampy so obviously no luck this month. Sad

Purplelooby · 18/10/2010 20:05

Hi all - went to a wedding this weekend and got drunk... again... But anyway AF is due tomorrow so I'm willing it not to bother. I've got sore boobs and I lay in bed for an hour feeling dog-sick last night. Don't want to get too hopeful though.

I think that most of these stats are not right as some of these must either have their AF or BFP by now - my fingers are crossed for the latter!

alien how did it go then? I got my feedback - I got a 3. FUMING! And cryed a lot of course...

GiraffeAHolic · 18/10/2010 19:14

Hi all, any news from anyone?

Well the day 21 bloods agree that I didn't ovulate (or that I hadn't by day 15 anyway).

Have an appt for 5th nov so hopefully fingers crossed for next month.

Good luck with the CBFM alien, I have a Persona which is very similar, just the sticks are so damn expensive :)

goldmaple · 18/10/2010 18:59

Any news yet alien? Very Envy at your CBFM. Think I might get one for myself in a cycle or two (waiting because they are expensive).

annie are you late yet? Hope so!

Almost time to SWI here, so getting excited!!

alien06 · 16/10/2010 02:40

Hey everyone, sorry been away but had dreaded OFSTED at school this week !! talk about stressed!

anyway no AF for me yet , but think the stress may be the reason for it! however my bbs are very tender and I swear that the areola bit looks bigger?! but that may just be me imagining it lol I am sure that AF is just around the corner for moi :( did couple of poas over the last couple of days and all negative :( oh well hopefully AF will come and then I can start using my CBFM and track my cycle :)

hope everyone is well

Thanks goldmaple! I'm due in 3 or so days. If I'm late, I'll test. But I can't let myself become a serial tester again. Trying for 4 years with DD1 and testing repeatedly drove me insane and damn near destroyed my marriage. I cannot do that again. I think I'll have to set a rule - NOT to test until at least a week late! Grin

goldmaple · 14/10/2010 22:35

Fingers crossed that your late AFs are BFPs alien and suffering!!

AF got me but it came early:) so planning on putting in good SWI effort... and also planning to ovulate!!

annie I added you to the stats list. I hope you get your bfp very soon!

sufferingbabyfever · 14/10/2010 18:17

Welcome AnnieBeansMum

Nice to see you on the thread.

Hopefully you won't be here long (in the nice way)

Ive only been trying 3 months and am already quite stressed! I can't imagine how difficult 4 years would have been!

AnnieBeansMum · 14/10/2010 18:11

Hi everyone, can I join you? DH and I have recently decided to start trying for #2. My details:

TTC #2 Cycle 1 UCL 32 CD 29

I really doubt anything will happen this month as DH and I didn't really start trying until about 2 weeks ago. DD1 took almost 4 years - I just pray DC2 won't take so long.

sufferingbabyfever · 14/10/2010 18:07

Hey ladies anything interesting today?

Alien how went the inspection?

AF where are you? You are late. Still. Angry

Purplelooby · 13/10/2010 22:20

Eugh - we are due an inspection soon because our last results were poo so you have my sympathy.

I got observed by SMT on Monday but no feedback yet.

suffering sounds like you are making a good wholesome sensible plan - wish I could be so strong!

sufferingbabyfever · 13/10/2010 21:46

I don't actually know if I can face testing again. Its so gutting. Im thinking maybe the bleed i got in the middle was some sort of AF (although completely unlike any Ive had - extremely light, I thought it was spotting)

Maybe give it a week if no AF?

Think Im going to try and forget about ttc and just see what happens lots of SWI but no tests (ovulation or pregnancy ones!)

And maybe put my energies into something else!

Ive never been involved in an inspection yet and they are on hold in Scotland for the minute due to the new curriculum. How long do they observe you. I think I'd hate that.

alien06 · 13/10/2010 21:42

Hey suffering sorry to hear about your BFN :( I am in the same position - day 33 of a UCL of 31-33.. no sign of ERTD but then again may be late due to stress as have OFTSED in my school at the mo so slightly stressing as being observed tomorrow :(

when are you going to test again? I tested again today and a big fat BFN !

sufferingbabyfever · 13/10/2010 20:13

Hey all,

Well couldn't resist testing today (when AF should have shown up).

But the lazy cow has decided not to arrive and leave me with a BFN.

How inconsiderate!

Wish it would just hurry up and come. Pointless time wasting! Get with the programme Ovaries!

Purplelooby · 12/10/2010 19:45

sufferingbabyfever I've got my fingers crossed for you!! I would wait one extra day though, just so that you can't question the result...

Defo let us know x

sufferingbabyfever · 12/10/2010 14:12

Hey all!

Anyone with any news to report?

Any untimely AF's?

Well the last poss time i normally would get AF is tommorow. Resisting the sticks so far.

If I don't get it tommorow ? Should I test tommorow or continue waiting.

I have now googled myself to death and feel I have definate symptoms. (In the head - no doubt). I think I could be in for a bit of a blow tomorrow! At least Im off work and can sulk in peace!

sufferingbabyfever · 11/10/2010 21:54

Hi everyone,

Well no sign of anything AF related. Have had quite strong cramp at the base of my spine for days now (quite odd as I never get period cramp). Have resisted testing until I am actually late. There is a clear blue in my drawer calling on me. But I'm remaining strong! (Shut up clear blue!)

Well Im remainaing hopeful though already passed by 25 and 27 day cycle markers. Only the 29 to go. I will be raging at both my ovaries and womb if they decide to try out a longer spell this month. (Don't even think about it!)

Due to my strong desire to poas I have been using up my ovulation thingys as they expire shortly. Strangely I got a positive today and yesterday. Better not be any late style ovulation! As I know I ovulated earlier in the month. The sticks said!

Good luck to all still waiting. Alien it aint over till its over!

alien06 · 11/10/2010 21:35

howdy peeps , Im on CD 30 now so updated the stats!
went to docs today about sharp pains and swollen lower abdomen last week and he said it was prob ovulation late! booo as was in a lot of pain to think about SWI , any way he said that we dont ovulate each cycle which I never knew! so that has relaxed me a bit as I may have only ovulated last week :0) i got a BFN today so I am sure ERTD is on its way, probably be a 33 day cycle or something lol
sorry to read about your BFN sufferingbaby fingers crossed!

Hey, that's suprisingly accurate dating goldmaple - I'm impressed.

sufferingbabyfever Sorry to hear about non-BFP, but you're right, it's a bit early so fingers crossed.

Even though my stats say Cycle 1, DH and I actually tried before, but we had to stop because I got a new job. We tried for a few months and the first month we tried, I got every single possible early sympton... and then had a period.

The reason I'm typing this is because my boobs look big and I feel a bit yucky and I've got a crampy tum. And I've been moody at work all day. Must remind myself that last time it was all in my head :( AF not due for over a week.

goldmaple · 11/10/2010 16:03

purplelooby I wouldn't worry because many people drink before they know! I added you to the stats:)

giraffeaholic sorry to hear about no +opk (but they don't always work anyways, do they?)

I have no hope of a bfp this month. My temps went down this morning (even though they never really went up). Eager to move on to next cycle now!

Im in the camp that says its ok to drink until you know otherwise!

Purplelooby · 10/10/2010 20:14

Feeling very guilty because I drank lots of beer this weekend and thus I don't really deserve a BFP in 2 weeks. And if I get one I'll spend the whole time worrying that I drank lots of beer.

Bad Me :(

sufferingbabyfever · 08/10/2010 16:54

Hey ladies,

Did an early test today (BFN Angry). But still hope I suppose as possibly still too early. 6 days to go till expected latest day I could get AF (I think).

Though prob as punishment for my impatience I have a bit of cramp. AF on its way? More than likely.

Boo!
