kateepie2 · 28/01/2011 10:04

PS also 4dpo Smile

kateepie2 · 28/01/2011 10:03

mrsa I read somewhere that if the egg is fertilised then there is some signal made to the body/hormones before implantation takes place. So could get some symptoms. I'm guessing most of it is just prog. related and so normal LP. Doesn't stop me analysing every last twinge tho!. Am also confused as I was on pill for 10 years, before that I never got PMS, sore boobs or anything. Since TTC I have had it bang after ov, every time. Grrr.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 28/01/2011 09:57

Awww Iwish how wonderful. I hope your pg is smooth and uneventful. Enjoy it and indulge - you'll never get another one as restful! Am, obviously, quite Envy though.

I am 4dpo, not much to report but a question occurred to me.
If sperm has met egg, then until implantation there will be no pg signs, correct?
So any signs like tender breasts etc will be purely to do with normal LP stuff. It's only once about 7-10dpo that pg signs kick in?

at work so can't name check but am chart stalking.

kateepie2 · 28/01/2011 09:49

Thanks iwish and congratulations! Envy as hell, but so pleased for you Grin good luck at the docs!

Iwish · 28/01/2011 09:47

Morning!

Sounds like you've all been busy, I just crashed out on the sofa and ate pizza all evening.

Temps up again this morning, is that normal? As this is my first attempt at charting I'm still working out my pattern, but the charts I've looked at don't seem to keep going up! Hope I'm not doing anything wrong.

Chart is here if anyone wants a gander.

I shall be stalking all your charts Grin

Hello all, just thought I'd check in otherwise I'll completely lose the thread of the thread IYKWIM!

Mouse - sorry I'd not read back over the thread much before joining yesterday so didn't realise you were having an ERPC today.
Having been there twice, I can understand a little of what you've been through. I agree there would be no harm in getting your thyroid tested. Good luck at the GP.

Terrys - hope you enjoyed your duck!

Ravenlocks - I got pg in my first WTF cycle but then had another mmc, left it a month and then got pg with DS the following cycle. Many people think that a woman is more fertile the first couple of cycles after mc.

Nancy - welcome :)

Kateepie - hello again :)

battery - sounds like your scan went well!

Right, I must go to bed as I'll fall asleep on the sofa otherwise!

level · 27/01/2011 22:29

Ohhh don't want one of those then!

mousebacon · 27/01/2011 22:24

WTF is what the fuck cycle - the cycle straight after a mc where your body seems to do whatever it fancies x

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 27/01/2011 22:22

level the WTF cycle is the one immediately after a mc, before you get your first proper af. It's referred to as the WTF cycle because your body's all over the place and there's no logic to when or whether you'll ov, or when af will appear!!

level · 27/01/2011 22:14

What is a WTF cycle?
I know what it stands for but I don't see what it means in this context.

mousebacon · 27/01/2011 21:49

Hi spilt, hope you're well. Hospital didn't do me a note but seeing the gp tomorrow and reckon she'll do me one. Have also decided to get my thyroid function checked. It's something pro active I can do and I can't see her refusing. I might as well check eh? God I want a baby so badly! Sick of the sight of my hospital! xx

spilttheteaagain · 27/01/2011 21:29

Yum terrys sounds lovely Smile

Welcome nancy

mouse I'm so glad you're home safely. Now take your time and please don't feel obliged to be in work on Monday. Did the hospital do you a sick note? Be gentle with yourself xx

TerrysNo2 · 27/01/2011 21:03

Evening all

mouse I'm glad you are back home safe and well. Take care of yourself.

battery glad your scan went well, now lets get a little bean in there! Smile

kateepie welcome! Will stalk check out your chart later, quick post as cooking!

ifatfirst I didn't get PG on WTF cycle, hopefully WTF+1!! Smile My cycle was fairly normal but 5 days out for OV and total length (so LP stayed the same) but I was only 6 weeks gone and bled for 5 days like a normal period.

Hope everyone has a good evening, going to eat my roast duck now! :)

ravenlocks · 27/01/2011 20:55

Good to know conception can happen mouse but so sorry it wasn't a happy ending.

You are right ifatfirst it is worth a shot. I am just going to try and chill a bit about it, as getting pg 2 cycles in a row after nada for 9 months feels sooooo fecking unlikely. I can help feeling I am back at the start and will have another 9 months to wait before I get another BFP.

VintageNancy · 27/01/2011 20:52

hello! :) I just got a thermometer so I will start using it tomorrow (I'm mid-cycle but thought it was worth trying it out and then hit the next cycle knowing what I'm doing). It's possible I'll be back asking silly questions soon and sharing my chart. I've been stalking all you guys trying to get the hang of what it all means!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 27/01/2011 20:23

I'm currently on my WTF cycle and have just ordered a large batch of cheapie OPKs as we want to give it a go (it's worth a shot). I'm still spotting at day 15 grrrrrr, so when I'll ovulate is anyones guess!

mousebacon · 27/01/2011 19:47

I did raven but it didn't end well. I got pg 3 weeks after my last erpc x

ravenlocks · 27/01/2011 19:44

Hi everyone. So much to catch-up on.

Has anyone ever got pg on their WTF cycle? Is there even any point in me trying this cycle?

Hugs mouse, take time to recover and see you back in March.

mousebacon · 27/01/2011 19:37

Thanks for thinking of me today lovely ladies - you are all very kind. It went as well as it could apart from a wobble over my bp. I'm home now though and dh has made our tea so I'm sure I'll be on the mend soon.

We've said we'll give it one full cycle before trying again so we're probably looking at march for ttc again.

Lots of love xxx

Iwish · 27/01/2011 17:30

Batter Glad it went well today. Hope you had a lovely day too.

Woohoo for Mrsa's Crosshairs :) Hope the litle swimmers have got to that little eggy!

Wecome Kat I recognise you from another thread. You'll settle in nicely here. Everyone is so friendly.

Weimy Bet you had a lovely day. I used to spend a lot of time with my god daughter (who is now 7) and i loved every minute, even the trouble she got into.

im having little af type cramps and the usual cramps, is that normal?

Off to do some more chart stalking :)
