I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Oh no so sorry about the bfns Sad
7dpo and I've felt really queezy all day long, there's a tummy bug doing the rounds at work though, fx I'm not the next victim and that this is an early symptom!

stuffthenonsense · 20/06/2011 10:51

oh i am disappointed for all those with BFN/AF.

i have had +OPK over the weekend and we have been like smitten teenagers (hes 50 and now knackered) so i am really really hoping we have covered all possibilities for this month.

my veins are crap too, well they are actually very effective, as soon as the wall is broken it seals itself, so blood tests are impossible, but i am unlikely to bleed to death. i always ask for a phlebotomist and a paediatric sized needle...that helps.

BabySade · 20/06/2011 10:01

Hi everyone,
I'm BabySade (29) TTC baby number 1, this is cycle 8 for me.
AF is due between tomorrow and Thursday. Have been POAS for
Last few days, all Bfn (-:
I was on the thread a while back but have a had laptop
problems, my DH has kindly lent me his iPhone for the day
Anyway hello to all the oldies & the newbies. I'm struggling a bit
to work the phone so not sure of any news. Fingers crossed
for lots of BFPs!

babybrain3 · 19/06/2011 21:07

Well I did a test just because I said I was going to today... Ot was a bfn as expected, AF due tomorrow. Here's to next month....

weimy · 19/06/2011 14:14

Sorry about Af Girls :(

Hi all,

Seems like more bad news than good news. SIGH.
Did the test and waited in agony only to get a negative sign. :(
And he was so looking forward to this more than i think even i was.
well i'm just gonna wait on AF and then decide if we want to try again. Better Luck Next time everybody.

Carlitawantsababy · 19/06/2011 10:39

Oh bun sounds painful!
peapop well done! My plan for this month is swi every other day all month. I told dh yesterday that he needs to take his vitamins as he's going to be exhausted!
lugsie can't believe that! Our testing gang, in tatters!
I was coming onto see if there was any news- anyone? Was hoping for at least one father's day BFP! Unless Emma is lurking with one it doesn't look like there's much hope!
I think I'd like a queen of the cycles type of character to blame when it isn't really af's fault but the whole world (month) gone wrong - misleading symptoms etc... Can any one think of a character who may fit the bill?! Grin

BunMyOven · 18/06/2011 19:43

Hi everyone!

Trope so sorry to hear about AF getting you, I so wanted this to be your month. Hope you're ok?
Still haven't heard about the sea-front place (grrr) just waiting for one bit of paper work to get to the agents, everything else seem to be fine though so, without any bad luck it should all go ahead this week. It's on Victoria Terrace (next to the King Alfred leisure centre) so not far from where you used to live. Lovely area.

Thanks for the advice on exercise before the blood test - unfortunately it didn't work though! All the midwifes and nurses seem very impressed with how deep my veins are (me, not so much). So had to have 3 viles of blood taken from my hand whilst trying to entertain DS in his pram because my partner couldn't make it - ended up singing "Mummy's fiiiine" to a worried looking 2yo whilst thinking "fuuuuuck this hurts!", 'twas surreal Grin

Got a letter through yesterday with a date for my first scan which has perked me up whilst dealing with this sickness.

Sorry to hear about AF, the old cowbag getting people!

Weimy, glad to see you've decided to have another go this month and I really hope you get your BFP Smile

(early) Congratulations Toddle! How lovely!

Sorry if I've missed any news, a lot happens on this thread in a week! Smile

babybrain3 · 18/06/2011 18:11

Wow peapop that's good going, you should have it covered!!!

Dp and I have had a blazing row and haven't been speaking since Thursday, so I can quite safely say that DTD is completely out of the question atm. Hopefully we will have sorted ourselves out by the time I ov..

Is there anyone left that is testing tomorrow??

peapop · 18/06/2011 17:32

So sorry to see af has got some of you Sad best of luck for next month.

I'm 5dpo now which means I ovulated earlier than usual this month. (Probably has nothing to do with it but I've convinced myself it's because I ate a mammoth amount of cassava this month Hmm ?!) We managed to swi at least every other day over the past week or so, so feel like we may be in with a good chance this month, or at least we've done all we can anyway.

Lugsie · 18/06/2011 14:39

Well I'm out of the testing gang too - af has arrived four bloody days early! Grrr!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend.

10 days toddle! whoa! Mine was 1 day late last month and 3 days early this month, so hopefully getting shorter over all! I'm gig to take temps this month as have been guessing ov by cm up until now, would be good to know!
Your DP sounds very cute and planning your wedding can fill your 2WW (s) hooray!
weimy glad you're giving it another try whilst horse hunting!
Happy weekend to everyone! Grin

toddle · 17/06/2011 23:23

LMAO... one of the first carlita you are very certainly the first as it hasnt actually happened yet... Think next spring will be the first chance for it finance wise as we already have a lot going on. ill also second you on cycles getting longer since TTC. My cycles have increased by 10 !! days.

freedom i also hope it happens soon. He has been teasing me all week texting me saying about all the things he has been thinking about and it will be really special just for us too :) eeeek.... you think he may just ask monday when he gets back from airport Hmm

babybrain i would attempt to offer you some hinting tips but i can honestly say he raised the subject so saved me the ball ache. Theres been a few times before when ive had suspicions that he would ask but never turned out to be a ring lol.

Well think ive just ovulated or about to... and im pretty gutted that theres pretty much no hope for a BFP this cycle. Dont actually think i could call of TTC right now so maybe we can just continue. Then you call all give me tips on organising the quickest wedding on earth if when we get our bfp :). Even DP text saying he wont be going away without me ever again, so he is never going to miss another little egg wipes tear from laughing Bless him.

Guys im excited for all my fellow gang members testing on sunday. We need some good news!!! Sorry for those who have been got already :(

babybrain fx for you - hopefully it doesn't mean AF is on her way!

well folks, my temp has massively dropped today (way below the coverline) and the cramps are far stronger, so that, plus my tearfulness yesterday, means that I strongly suspect AF is coming today. :(

Which means that my cycle has just been completely borked this month; messy temps, days of spotting, ovulation early (or late, depending on whether me or FF is right) and loads more pre-AF symptoms... just what you want when you are TTC!

Will update my stats when/if AF arrives, but i'm 99% sure i'm out for this month. On to cycle 4!
