Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all, laughing. All welcome (Part 6)

Wiggles dunno - dont temp! Need to check the stats! Whats 13 dpo? saw spotting and thought woo hoo.... if not af!

Ignore me - i am just dum

My conversation went something similar... without the nuts tho x

Nickster Implanting 13dpo? Is that possible so late? I had temp dip at 11dpo. I've been thinking it's more like AF at this stage in the day...

DH has just walked through the door from work and conversation went something like this:

Me: Hi hon, how was your day?
Mr.W: Good thanks, how was swimming?
Me: Do we still have some Brazil nuts in?
Mr.W: What sort of a question is that?

Hi to all
fab verse velvet & mummya

hairy laloony Ooooooooh sore boobs & no af....magic fingers crossed

hope all you ladies get your af soon. it's still very early for myself but still driving myself mad.. & all sex is def SWI. It's the total uncertinaty and second guessing of what's going on....forsure we need to keep the faith XXXXXXXX to all

Evenin' all.

Hairy FAB sounds good, FX for your HCG. Too laloony sounds promising! silly i MC confirmed Aug 10th 2010 @13 weeks since last period, and i got my af on 20th Sept 2010. I MC naturally tho, and it takes longer for body to return to norm after EPRC so am told. MA try to relax?? a watched pot and all that. Can you go for a massage or acupuncture or something - the more you think about it the longer it will take? I so wish i would listen to my own advice?!?!!? Im sure i delayed my AF every month we were trying cos i was getting so stressed about my cycle length.

Wiggles hoping its implanting - BURROW BURROW BURROW!!! Eat lots of brazil nuts, it worked for hairy

Velvet i do think you had too much time on your hands not SWI'ing this weekend sadly, but your rhyme cheered me up no end.... rough day today and le scamp being a monkey at bedtime!

Mummy I haven't posted my chart on here yet, not sure I even know how to. I'll have a look if I get chance later (Lord knows I've explored every other nook and cranny on that website!) Starting to spot a bit now though and feeling rather crampy. Watch this space...

Hairy FX for Thursday x

wiggle I wanna play with the FF overlay dooda thingy. I have lost the link to your chart though, can you post it please?

FF kept moving my test date by the way, but now that I have gone below the coverline it has reset DPO to 1 and told me not to test at all.(might as well have just slapped me in the face with a fish)

I think I am starting to realise what was printed clearly in huge big letters all along that FF results arent foolproof and interpreting them is dead tricky. I havent given up on the whole thing though - stay strong, keep the faith!

owlshoes thanks for the men in uniform, cheered me right up!

nickster hope you are feeling better now. sorry to hear about the infection.

Hairy good luck for your HCG results xx

Thanks for everyones input re: chart, knickers, and stuff you are all helping me keep that last bit of sanity alive! xxx

I mc'd on 31 MARCH ERPC 7 July, still no AF

Silly I mc'd on 31st July, ERPC !7th Aug, still no AF.

How long are you all waiting for AF? I MCd end of July and no AF yet (though I'm TTC anyway!)

Ooh hairy everything crossed for you, all the very best xxxxxx

Hurrah Hairy! Glad it's going well.

sore boobs sounds promising laloony

I've been knicker checking all weekend, AF was due Sat night, but has not shown up (hurrah!) and I have another three positive tests to prove it :)

Beta HCG test done today, results Thursdsay.

Am totally bricking it but trying to stay positive.

And if I make it to seven weeks, I'll get an early scan :)

feeling "odd" over last 24 hours. Boobs are more painful than usual. Took paracetamol so that i could forget about it, it helps to not obsess.

Af due week Tuesday i think, but im knicker checking now for af, expecting it early.

worked out we have been inadvertently trying for about 10 months, no contraception, not dating or anything like that just forgetting about it. Nothing.

Really trying from this month, so it widens the posibility.
fingers crossed.

Love the poem/song Velvet and Mummya!

to tempting AF with big white pants/no pants at all. Hope it works.

All's much the same here. My private referal for another scan is proving even trickier than NHS (so much for the gp referring me privately so I wouldn't have to wait...) have now put referral letter in the post (as fax machine apparently refuses to deliver it and they can't possibly open an email attachment, that would be way too hard for a private hospital. Did I mention I am paying for the privilage of being messed around like this?!?! ). So when they get the paper copy tomorrow, then they will [might?] call me to discuss arranging an appointment.... grrrrr.. Sorry for the rant. Just fed up for being uncomfy. And I don't think it's worked this month. My temps don't seem to be rising :( Grump. Grump. Grump.

I don't think I'm very good company on Mondays. Sorry

MummyA I would also concur that the dip in temp means that RTD is on its way. That's what it means for me in any case. I cannot believe what you've had to put up with, I would have gone mad. As Nickster suggests, get whities on!!

Hope you are all doing well girls depsite what TTC is throwing at you x

MA do you have on your big WHITE Grannybashers?

Forgot to say MA that the dip in temps does look promising (in a pre-menstrual kind of way)

Velvet LOVE the little ditty :)

MummyAb I think your period has absconded with mine. I've just compared my chart with yours using the overlaying doo-da on ff and they're very similar - only I'm 7 days behind you in the 2ww. All the signs (cm) etc point to ov and there was a clear thermal shift. Surely if the egg is released but not fertilised then the lining of the uterus has to shed at some bloody point soon? Unless ff has got it all wrong?

I'm 13dpo (so guess still a wee bit early) and I used to have 26 day cycle. I guess it's all up in the air now though. Pants! FF says to test again on Wed if no AF. I think if it drags on I'd be tempted to go to the doc and see what they say - maybe take your chart?

I was convinced AF was going to arrive this morning - especially as had dd's swimming lesson (swimming always USED to guarantee a period) Plus, forgot to take pair of knickers to change into (surely that would've been another perfect opportunity for it to to arrive?!) so had to try and wiggle into jeans under towel without anyone wondering why I was going 'commando'.

more verses....

The test has only one line
That means its BFN
I?ll have to wait till next month
And do it all again!

OR

The test has got TWO lines
That means its BFP
Sign me up to grads list
I?m happy as can be!

Thanks for looking at my chart Izzy, I'm very convinced I am not pregnant, because of the blood test.

velvet

mummyabroad - no wonder you're fed up, I can't believe AF is making you wait this long when she has so rudely turned up to dachs and sunchild without so much as an invitation, she is truly evil. Just looked at your chart - is it 20 days since ov? How about next month you give me 5 days of your luteal phase then we'll both be about right? . On the plus side though it does look like you've had a dip in temps so hopefully that will come to something...obviously would be better if it was a bfp though...

Afternoon darlinks :)

Tunnocks hope you are okay, lovely; am thinking of you x

MummyA I don't know where evil AF is but I've sent out a military search party so hopefully they'll find it soon - is so bloody awful not knowing where you stand, isn't it.

velvet my, you did have a lot of time on your hands on the boat Hope you're less ill soon, school in autumn term is like a plague pit.

Hello everyone else :)

Velvet

love it!!

I think this should be printed on every OPK/HPT kit! Or made into a greeting card for TTCers!

Do know that on Amazon OPK kits cost 5 pounds for 25 tests? I can understand if you want to avoid them though, I have decided they either give you a fasle sense of security and make you stop SWI too early or never give reliable enough results and have you going at it until you collapse in a heap of exhaustion! I DO think they are worth it if you combine it with other methods though, that way you can cross check info OR just shag everyday!!!

Hi all

Sorry to hear your mc is goin on for so long MA. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

I'm not going to be opking if its twice a day - I have neither the time nor the funds for it! Just thought I would try it out this month to see if it coincided with when my period tracker says its meant to be.

Anyway, I'm off sick today with 2 different viruses which are going round at school :(
One is a sickness thing and of course I'm not symptom wondering!!

While not being able to SWI on the barge I made up a little ditty for us. Please feel free to add verses if you think of them.

My temeperature is rising
I check it everyday
I'm popping to the loo now
Please pass the OPK

Where is my darling husband
Its time to SWI
I don't care if you don't want to
The eve of ov is nigh

I'm feeling very nauseaous
I'm definately off my food
I'm getting really tearful
And it's NOT A PM MOOD!!!!

My boobs are getting tender
Although AF's not yet late
I'm busy googling symptoms
I can't stand the 2 week wait!!

Peeing on a sitck now
I want a BFP
Yes, alright you've guessed it
I'm calmly TTC

Charting question!!

Where the bloody hell is my period??

Defo not preggas because I did a blood test and temps have now dropped, but no AF!!!!!

Can anyone reassure me that is WILL come tomorrow? If not I am breaking out the progesterone and phoning Guiness Book of Records to see if I can get in for having the longest miscarriage in the history of the world.

PS Velvet , have you tried checking your cervix yet? Bit scary but a great way to know when you should start doing OPK's twice a day (I agree with wiggle that with only once a day you will miss the surge)

Dach sorry about RTD, you do seem to have mighty quick cycles though (or does it just seem that way from my current perspective?) Big hugs for you xxx

Izzy I took B6 this month, regretting it now as I dont want a really long luteul phase. (see chart) Should have waited to see if i needed it first. bugger. I took 50mg, once a day, but have since read taking smaller amounts twice a day is better. Take it with a mulitvit as all Bvits better absorbed when in combination with other bvits. (you can bite both capsules in half and take one lot in the morning and one at night)

nickster feeling slightly thick right now!!!
