Thanks Loulou - it's stupid; I just don't want to go through another week of uncertainty and then another mc. I'm projecting wildly!

Anyway, I am SO weepy and now crampy and wet-feeling as if AF is coming any minute (keep popping to the loo to check, sort of thing) so maybe my symptoms were all in my head and AF is just on her way. I would prefer that to another Chemical obviously.

Grrrrrrr, so hormonal!

Aah, just remembered Zombie, you're having to wait 4 weeks to test aren't you? Hope you're staying just the right side of sane :) (Don't think I managed to this month sadly!)

GTR2882 · 23/09/2011 11:40

Zombie interesting symptoms, especially the peeing!! I am not peeing anymore than usual (i don't think), but i can't seem to shake this headachey, dizzy, nauseous feeling! Not even sure I have ov'd because of stupid temps and FF and lack of fertile cm, but i really do not feel well at all!! CM at the moment is really creamy and blobby (if that makes any sense at all!!)

loulou i am with you on the Bible......and in the beginning God said let there be fertile CM

zombiebanana · 23/09/2011 11:20

Wow! This thread is cool! And busy!

Here's some symptom news . . .

  1. Continuing extreme horniness & insatiability
  2. Felt sick in the night
  3. A bit more weeing than usual

loulou best of luck . . .

Sorry to hear everyone is in the worrying/unsure stages! But remember it is not over until AF shows! I know it is really hard to relax about it - believe me I definitelty do not practice what I preach - but my GP told me it can take a while to get updiffed & that is totally normal. Saying that I think I am obsessing about ttc as it is all I think about. Not quite at the ss stage yet as just in my fertile time but am getting quite stressed about actually dtd at the right time as my DH has wimped out/complaining of feeling rough & is just not up for dtd at the moment. Am trying not to get too Angry with him but can't help worrying I am missing the vital time. Lets hope he quickly recovers this weekend. :o

louloubellamozzarella · 23/09/2011 11:02

Hi GTR, thanks for your knowledge and experiences, you know so much, let's get started on The Bible!!

I'm busy writing a list of things to distract myself from thinking about this AF/BFP business. I'm not feeling very positive about this cause I'm just expecting AF to turn up really. Don't have any other symptoms either. We'll see but expect a BFN report from me early next week, I think that's the way it's going to go but we'll see. I might test tomorrow morning just to see and then again Monday morning.

I'm going for another run this lunchtime... trying to dispel irrational fears about running in early stages of pergnancy as it's fecking ridiculous to be speculating when I haven't even tested! Will just carry on as normal till I know otherwise.

How's everyone else today anyway? Any SS going on? Grin

GTR2882 · 23/09/2011 10:38

LouLou I am going to be bluntly honest with you!!! If it is implantation then the bleeiding can last on and off for up to 3 days, so technically this can still be implantation!! If it's now brown, then it's old blood (i think) and if there is hardly anything then I doubt that it's AF; however, i do not want to get your hopes up unnecessarily and will tell you that last cycle, I had some light spotting around 3 days before AF was due, i thought it had come early but dismissed this as it has never come early. So i then thought it could be possible implantation bleeding - it wasn't as on the 4th day after spotting, i was bleeding - it was really light and did not really need a pad (only really saw red blood when i......ahem.........investigated in my hoo-ha and as disgusting as that sounds, for the sake of my sanity and everyone elses, i highly recommend having a rummage at around the time of AF just so that you can get a feel for what it all feels like up there and how different it is to any other time in your cycle :) Blush Blush

With regards testing, after implantation it usually takes around 2-3 days for the hormone to become present in urine; as you are bleeding and this could possibly be implantation, the lovely little eggy will have imbedded itself into your uterine wall and i think testing tomorrow with FMU might give you an answer - if it does happen to be BFN then it is recommended to test once AF is late.

I hope i don't cause any reason for you to be upset/excited - i just thought i would give my honest opinion (I am no expert, so please feel free to ignore what i have said :))

I am going on a 50km bike ride tomorrow - sensible? Hell no, but i have comitted myself now so no backing out!!!

louloubellamozzarella · 23/09/2011 10:20

Ahh sorry to hear that mama, sounds like your intuition was right... at least you've got the July aircraft all revved up and ready to go. Hope my sign's still up on my seat just in case!!

festie sorry you're having a wobbly day :( Try to ignore the stupid b*astard ex hubby and silly cow ex's wife. You only had your coil out a couple of months ago so I'd put it down to your cycles settling down again. I'd only start worrying if you're still having irregular cycles/signs of chemical pregs a couple of months down the line. Hope you feel better soon. Dr Loulou prescribes a nice cuppa tea and something chocolatey - strict doctor's orders, no arguing Grin

Ilanthe and others using fertility friend, I'm most impressed. Had a look at it yesterday and it's complicated! Think I need to take few hours over the weekend to understand everything, so much to think about!

Spotting for me stopped last night but having a tiny bit again this morning - very light brown and hardly anything. Not sure what to think really. Still trying to hold on to test but not sure how long I will be strong :( Anyone know how long the dang hormones take to show up? Really hope my body's not f*cking me around and that it's not AF imminently arriving.

Anyone got anything nice planned for the weekend? I have a few boring things to do but mostly going to enjoy a lie in and a lovely curry, bring on the end of the day!!

festiemum · 23/09/2011 09:28

Oh mama - just read your post. Sorry the hag got you! xxx Wine

festiemum · 23/09/2011 09:26

Self indulgent post alert - sorry ladies.

So, very weepy today (am due on Hmm) did an internet cheapie with FMU - BFN. Due on potentially today, tomorrow or sunday (not sure what my cycle is supposed to be doing, since coil came out two months ago and last month had a chemical pg, so going on pre-coil cycle lengths, but who knows?!!)

The thing is, I can cope with not being pg - early days yet, and this is my first child with a new partner - it might not be the same as it was with my ex - different genes and all that. But this month seems to be following the same pattern as last month: pg symptoms, BFNs right up to period. If it continues the same, I'll get very faint BFPs in a few days (that get fainter) and then a big horrble painful period a week late, and I'll start thinking that maybe me and DH aren't genetically compatible. Do you see what I mean?

I know I'm massively over-thinking this! What doesn't help is that ex and his new (much younger) wife (who he left me for when our youngest was 4 months old!!) have had a baby recently, and she fell pregnant immediately (of course) Envy.

Aaaaargh! So wait and see I suppose... Confused

Mama5isalive · 23/09/2011 09:23

I hope whenever you decide you get a BFP!!!!!!

Ilanthe · 22/09/2011 22:47

I've just worked out what FF was and went over to have a look. Did a calendar, and to my great surprise, discovered today is potentially one of my most fertile days. Good job we'd SWI'd just before then... Grin I thought it was next week.

louloubellamozzarella · 22/09/2011 21:58

Sweet baby filled dreams GTR Grin

We had a mahousive dinner despite DP having been bought up to speed with latest developments, so it wasn't strictly necessary, but yummy nevertheless!

Yep, definitely gonna wait for Sat Mon (cough) Wink

GTR2882 · 22/09/2011 21:44

Welcome Lydia, let the obsessing commence!!

I am feeling sick and headachey again so am going to bed to dream of BFPs and thermal shifts!!! Praying that i get that coveted rise in the morning! :)

LouLou hope dinner was a success! Glad the bleeding stopped!! Fx for BFP!! I think you should test on Saturday Monday, he he!! Grin

LydiaTheTattoedLady · 22/09/2011 20:37

Thanks LouLou.
I don't think YOU guys obsess, all I'm seeing here is perfectly healthy. I think I'm not going to be able to think about anything else for the next x months and admire you abilities to maintain sanity during this all. Oh well. Life lesson in learning how not to tunnel vision on things just because I can't control them - there we are. If I don't conceive by Christmas, though, no paid maternity for me -so I think I'm feeling a bit tense because we're under a bit of pressure.
The abbreviations do confuse me though. Better than writing cervical mucus all the time though I guess.

louloubellamozzarella · 22/09/2011 20:28

Hi lydia.... erm yep! Time to get acquainted with that cotton strip in your knickers Grin CM is now your friend hopes lydia hasn't scarpered from wierdy words

Erm well if you want to obsess, this is the place you can do it without driving your RL friends/DP round the bend or even without telling anyone else at all. But obsessing not essential, we only ask you have a likign for abbreviations and a healthy interest in baby making :)

sweetpb hope the drugs work out for you...can I ask what metformin is and why you're taking it (sorry for cluelessness!)?

sweetpb · 22/09/2011 20:16

welcome to all who have boarded!

well if the metformin has done its duty then I will not be due AF until the 30th :( if it hasnt then lawd knows when i will be due :( :(

milk · 22/09/2011 19:50

louloubellamozzarella- I suggest making a roast dinner- super easy :D just stick a chicken in the oven with some cut up potatoes :D

As for having another day in the week... I have 2 days as my DH is working on Saturday this week :'(

LydiaTheTattoedLady · 22/09/2011 19:47

Ohhh crap it.
So...not only am I going to be obsessing about when I'm ovulating...

Are you seriously telling me I'm going to be examining every single physical sign I happen to be emitting for the next 2 weeks afterwards.

Seriously?

Man, I am too much of a sucker for this. I have no impulse control. I am already a hypochondriac. I'm going to be on this board 24/7 telling everyone about my knickers.

louloubellamozzarella · 22/09/2011 19:25

I've had a quick word with my kidneys and have told them to get their act together. Bleeding seems to have stopped so it's looking like it could be implantation bleeding. EEEe! Ok that's all the excitement I'll let myself do until I've POAS and not doing that till hmmm Saturday Monday Grin.

Festie, those symptoms are so textbook - honestly... They do sound promising though - those are pretty decisive symptoms, not just achy boobs eh...

Milk excellent tip re feeding man!! Why did I never think of this before?! This could come in very useful... not that I'm a sex dodger but handy for those times when he's horny and I'm plain erm just shattered and needing a cup of tea :)

Have actually told DP and he's a little bit excited, I can tell. Albeit a little confused. I think he's only just got his head around periods, let alone any bleeding aside from that...

Mama, still going with not POAS, see! You're doing well, not long now.

Sooo pleased it's nearly the end of the week!!! But really can't be arsed with Friday - do we really have to have another day in the week?

festiemum · 22/09/2011 19:15

Milk - great idea, that always works with my DH - he's no use to me at all when he's had a good meal!!! :o

GTR2882 · 22/09/2011 18:52

Blush sorry ladies!!

Welcome to all those I forgot to welcome in my haste to POAS for LouLou!!! Hope you all get your BFPs this month/cycle :)

The way it's going I'll still be here next September Grin

milk · 22/09/2011 18:37

louloubellamozzarella, thank you :) I hate this waiting around :( Just cook your DP a great big meal- then he'll be too full to have sex :D

zombiebanana, you have 4ww :O that super sucks!

festiemum and Mama5isalive, hello :)

Mama5isalive · 22/09/2011 17:58

My word ladies this thread has gone MAD!!!!!!!!!!( looking at GTR and Loulou)
Welcome ZB sorry for your loss, but glad you found us and glad you got stuck back in there!( i couldnt face it for a while and so waited a month)

Hi festie - still no AF and still refuse to POAS!!!! holding off till weekend!!!!
am thinking if my cycle can just change all of a sudden so maybe my dates was off?
Sorry Popcorn - dont think youll be alone on the AF front for long!!!!
yeh still in for a June baba!!!
Deelite - fingers crosssed for you also!
Disco - we are always waiting around here, fertile dates, lines on ov-ing tests, cm signs, 2 ww, and the 2 lines on a test!!!!! yep but we do it over and over again!
Loulou - Thanks its only because i dont fancy buying another one and it being wasted!but not long now!!!!

had banging head all day! so trying not to think about it as another sign but more of a stress headache!!!!! boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

festiemum · 22/09/2011 16:31

Oh and hello milk!! :o

festiemum · 22/09/2011 16:27

Ha! Now you're being a POAS facilitator GTR!!! :o

Well, looking at my chart on FF - I think I am due on tomorrow or Sat so I might POAS tomorrow. If I'm not pg, then my body is playing some excellent tricks on me.

psychoness symptoms so far include: exhaustion, nausea, heartburn, dizziness when hungry, emotional ridiculousness, wet noo noo, bloating, headaches, weeing a lot. Honestly, do my psycho-somatics have to be so damn textbook?!!! Hmm

Loulou; your potential implantation bleeding is VERY exciting!!
