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 12)

ocheye you are not cluttering up the list! Are you sure you want off? Theres no rule that you have to post all the time to stay on.

No no no no! Its not a BFP. Dont anyone get exited please! Not yet anyway

Mummya for the shadow! I'm keeping everything crossed for a darker shadow tomorrow!

Sorry I'm not keeping up at the moment. Trying to keep my head in the sand this week a bit and totally manic at work! Hugs to you all xxx

Hey there everyone! I'm really bad at keeping up with this thread so please could somebody take me off the list? I hate cluttering it up for you! I'd post it myself but am scared to mess it up.

I'm back to CD1 today after a horrible, boring WTF cycle.

Warm hugs to everyone who's having a hard time. Fingers crossed for all the bfp's too for happy, healthy pregnances.

Chloe so sorry you are feeling low. Those days before the due date really are the worst and to be on drugs at the same time must be awful. I hope the break from the drugs gives you a chance to get your emotional strength back a bit. In the meantime, a big because it sounds like you need one. xxx

Hi all, still BFN at 13DPO, but about 10 mins after testing I cheated and looked again and there is a SHADOW. Not a line, a shadow, and can I just leave it alone and stop looking at it and thinking about it? Can I buggery! bloody stupid shadow!! begone! (or be replaced with a big fat line! )

anyway, temps dropped though, so its 50-50, place you bets!!

chloe You've got to remember that you've gone through a lot in the last several months. Especially with your first course of clomid.(never done but from other comments read on here sends emotions all over the place.) You're bound to be emotional.

I quite like fluttering butterflies Knitter.

LOL Cep, I'll show you my stats if you show me yours I much prefer yours though Well, who knows. I am ridiculously emotional but nothing new there at the moment!

chloe according to babyzone

"implantation discomfort and/or bleeding will usually occur five to 12 days after ovulation. The pain you are experiencing should never be severe; if it is, or if you experience fever, chills, or heavy vaginal bleeding, call your doctor right away."
fx it isn't af for you.

Dont' want to get your hopes up just to say there could be other reasons.

knitter aren't twitchers birdwatchers???

Found these stats so highly unlikely that I am even though I tested early as think I ovulated CD12 and didn't have SWI after CD14 anyway as was too ill from the drugs so don't think I could be much under 10 DPO.

EP - Expected period
First figure - Chances of being pg with -ve test
Second figure - Chances of NOT being pg with -ve test
Third Figure - Woman who test +ve if they are

12 DPO EP 12.3%87.8% 51%
13 DPO EP 9.5% 90.5% 62%
14 DPO EP 8.0% 92.0% 68%
15 DPO EP 6.5% 93.5% 74%
16 DPO EP 5.3% 94.8% 79%
17 DPO EP 3.8% 96.3% 85%
18 DPO EP 2.5% 97.5% 90%
23 DPO EP 1% 99.0% 96%

Twitchers anonymous sounds like a geeky club Twitter Would be very interesting to know though. So I am having daily twitches about a week pre AF due. Let's see if I remember that next month.

Cep - the AF type pains aren't as strong as period but pretty sure it would be impossible to be implantation as, like I said, last time I SWI was 10 days ago.

chloe i'm sorry you're feeling so bad today. if you're not due till next week, this would be too early to test. Are they just as strong as af pains? could it be implantation pains? It's good that you've got things to look forward to coming up this month. I managed to convince dh that 30 was really a milestone age for a woman and therefore i should have really good birthday pressies.

Today would have been my af date on my normal shortest cycle and thursday on a 28 day cycle. when i tested +ve last time it was about 4-5 days after my bleed. i will try and hold out till wed/thursday nd if -ve then just accept that i've had a weird one this month.

collie i'm not too worried about when it's born i just want to be pregnant before sept. that's my deadline (dh imposed) if not by sept then not trying anymore.

brown my first after mc was normal. Infact was like what i used to have pre ds. this one was earlier than expected and although quite heavy not as heavy as normal. Would just be easier if we came with a manual or had a screen which came up with error messages like a comp.

hk feels so stupid to be testing just after bleeding. Good luck with your scan, when is it??

BOA - hug coming from my direction too

Cep - does sound weird re your period. Try and hold out testing now until the end of the week if you can, by then it should def show up if your are pg (although I would have thought it would be showing +ve by now if you were )

HKB - Good luck with your scan next week, I am sure everything will be fine

Ok, so I tested, it was -ve, obviously It has thrown me more than I expected. I have been beside myself most of the morning. I think it might be because I just expected to be pg before my dd and I am pretty sure that won't be happening now. I was due 3rd week of Feb but refuse to check the actual day and am pleased that I can't remember it and I won't be making any attempt to remind myself either but I know it is imminent. I have been getting period type pains for a few days now but am not actually due on for another week or so but it def feels like it's coming. I am so . It also feels like I have put myself through feeling like absolute shit this month for no reason and that I know at some point I will have to endure that again

I will, however, be taking this next month off the Clomid. I have my 30th and a Butlins trip planned for Feb and I refuse to feel like crap for either of those. God, what a shit morning

Hi all - sorry have not been around for a while. You have been busy as always!

mummya sorry to hear the strain that you and DH experiencing. It is very mature of you both to be seeking counselling I must say, I really hope it helps. Good luck with the poas.

Cep I have done that too (tested after or during af), so you are not alone, I understand! BTW I never had any luck with cheap opks but what did work for me in the end was to use the cheapies to start with then once start to see any kind of line switch to the Clearblue digis. Once EWCM showed up cheapie in afternoon, digi in evening. Managed to catch it that way without spending absolute fortune on OPKs.

Yay for Emoo!!

Chloe fingers x'd for your boobs being a symptom.

Hugs to BOA, I hope as others have said the passing of this date will bring you some peace.

Velvet hope you are feeling more positive now cycle is moving forwards? BTW, you were asking a while ago about trying something 'different'. This cycle when got bfp is first one of using pre-seed properly, might be worth a go? I do not have any problems that I know of with CM but thought why not, did not tell DH, he didn't even notice!

No news from me - feeling distinctly un-pregnant. Have a week to wait for scan, hoping that there will be something there, I think until I see it for myself I will not quite believe it.

BOA - my thoughts with you. My dd for the first pregnancy was back in April last year, and the Icelandic volcano blew it's top trapping us in Europe. I managed to forget about it all day, which was nice. Hope you have something nice and far less dramatic taking your thoughts out of yourself today.

Cep - for what it's worth, on my first BFP I started spotting on the day I expected my period. (I have a short cycle) It was a light bleed and didn't soak through the tampon, which is unusual. It stopped after the first tampon, and I tested. My first period after that mc was a couple of weeks after I stopped bleeding and wasn't particularly heavy (unusual for me). By the time I got my second BFP I had done all sorts of reading and was charting my temps etc, and I didn't have any of that implantation malarkey. The temping thing can be v frustrating. How long have you been charting your temp?

I know cep i understand the gut wrenching desire to be pg again soon. i am the same and was so frustrated that dh was away as i wanted to ttc even during my wtf. I just desperately feel i want to have a baby in 2011 now, 2012 feels like so long off i can't bare to think about that - thats gives me Feb and March to get a BFP. No doubt you'll be getting that haddock out on me when i've had by ov day!!

good luck with the ov test kit. xx

(BOA) hope you are ok lovely xxxxx

Twins huh....? Same here coming up, close friend having her CS on my due date x

collie I know, i don't get iti'm pretty sure i'm not it's just that tiny little seed of doubt. I think i was just so hopeful to get pg straight away, that i just don't want to let it go yet. With the fact that af is strange this time is just fuelling the fire.

I just bought a cb ov test pack. i'll use those in the afternoon when poss oving, i just want to get a positive just once would be nice and the cheap ones aren't doing that.

cep if i had a haddock to hand i'd be using it right now!! Although its possible, it does sound unlikely that you are pg (sorry) . I think try (i know easier saaid than done) to put it out of your mind for a couple of days. Why not allow yourself to test on Thursday (or weds if you can't wait that long one last time)? I feel so righteous giving this advice.....i'm still peeing on my OPK sticks every day and i'm day 35 post mc!!! I think i need to take my own advice!

morning everyone

boa I'm sorry about your dd on sat. i hope you're ok.

pink and orange hope you both had a fab time away and came back totally relaxed.
it is a bit more relaxed today - dh has gone to work.

mememe moment.....again.... again.
Ok i think someone needs to throw something at me. Never mind hit me with a haddock, throw the whole fish counter at me.

My af seems to have now pretty much stopped. i don't know if this is my "day off" which i only starting getting again on my last af, but on that one the whole af was like it used to be. Anyway i am convincing my self that it's decidual bleeding. keeping taking tests - bfn ofcourse. The reason i'm managing to convince myself is because my last pg a had a "weird" period and it took a few days after that i got a bfp, and i keep believing it'll happen like that again.
Temp was still high on 29th when af started properly, but last two days have had disturbed sleep so inaccurate temp. (plus battery dying) yesterday was still high at 97.18 but todays was 96.93 after really disturbed morning.

Waves to everyone Mummya Collie Mouse Velvet knitter Loola Nix Owl Emoo Izzy Yrmotb Mamap Lili Lily Wellie Zam and anyone i've forgotten.

((( BOA ))) big hugs for you, the due date is horrible, hope you got through it ok. It's marginally better out the other side x

pink and mamap best of luck with your appointments today x
