Thanks Count Smile How is everyone doing? We just got back from hols which was lovely. I managed to spend only 50% of the time being Envy at the ladies with bumps. Af arrived day before we went so a 46 day cycle.

Had routine smear test yesterday afternoon and the nurse advises I get a dr appt due to irregular cycles. So I guess that's my next thing to do. Bit scared though so will put it off til next week or perhaps week after when I'm back at work and ds is back at nursery Blush

Ahhhhh Purple - don't feel like a fool!!!! It's understandable your feeling emotional, and we do random things like buy stuff anything to give you better odds of a BFP! Your still in the game so don't count yourself out yet! I hope you enjoyed and let your hair down at the wedding! I love weddings it's like new beginnings 2 life's becoming 1!
I would just not tell him, I really believe men just don't get it!
When everyone tells you to get oving sticks and stuff and your DH refuses to support it saying it will happen when it's suppose to I think I could hear my body clock get louder!!!!!!
How's everyone else doing??

BlushBlushBlush I just cried in the hairdressers. I feel such an utter fool. I popped into the local Chinese medicine place on the way just on the spur of the moment. I had a free consultation and was told my pulse was erratic which isn't good apparently. The Dr sold me ten days worth of stuff to strengthen my Qi and improve the regularity of my cycles. Just came out feeling so broken and Sad then had hair appt. Hair dresser asked me if I had hay fever and it was like floodgates opening. I'm such a knob. I know nothing about Chinese meds apart from a close friend really rating it. When I tell dh about this he is going to think i'm even more crazyBlush

Count I'm still waiting for af. I now have sore boobs and random cramps which is a sign she is on the way. I'm choosing to ignore that is also a sign of pg as it is too heartbreaking to think it could be the reason when two negative tests say it isn't. I also don't want to test again yet as it just gets my hopes up. I really doubt that I am pg, when I had ds I tested 5 days late and got a positive immediately. Who knows? I really thought af would come yesterday as we went to a wedding and I wore a white dress with blue stripes so I was sure that would be a fitting time for it to start Blush

Purple - its flippin awful when your cycle decides to
Just change on you and for it to go to 41 days is just mean! Does that mean that AF turned up? If not then your still in the waiting game! Also remember sometimes the hgc levels sometimes are not strong and you need to wait a few more days for a strong positive!
All crossed for you xxx

Ha I am now on day 41 of this cycle. Sometimes you have to just Grin

Purpleprickles · 31/07/2012 19:20

Thanks Pipbin and Count, still nothing today. Maybe I should test again at the end of the week. We go away next Tues and I bet af comes then. I'd really like it before because I'll be worrying/wondering all holiday otherwise.

Purple - very sorry that you are still in the dark with it all but don't give up until that old hag shows her face, I never test early more then 2 days and with that I always use the cheapies! Before I used FR and CB and got nothing! But when I get a even faint line I will collect my fmu and then went out to get CBD and there was after a painful wait - pregnant 2-3!
It will happen for you it's just so flippin hard and heart breaking when you feel you did everything and it doesn't bring a BFP!
Let keep encouraging and getting through this TTC as easy as we can!

From what I understand Purple clear blue digitals are hard to convince. They need to have a strong positive.

I'm bored and tired of the whole thing too.

Purpleprickles · 30/07/2012 20:11

Pipbin sending you lots of luck.

Just poas and bfn again. I knew it would be, I even brought a clear blue digital because it was on offer in Boots so I'm assuming they are even more accurate? I'd just really like af to come now so I know I'm not a dried up old prune and also so we can get on with trying again. Today I don't feel sad or frustrated I just feel very bored and tired of it all Hmm

Pipbin · 30/07/2012 00:25

As a rule I get a lot of spotting. Any time from ov onwards really.
Getting this far with this little is excellent.

Purpleprickles · 29/07/2012 23:53

Pipbin do you often get spotting? The only time I have is when I was pg with ds. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Pipbin · 29/07/2012 22:04

Well it's 10 DPO here and I had a little bit of spotting last night but other than that nothing.
I really don't feel like I've done it this time.

Doctors said that they want me to have my tubes tested and if thats OK then they'll give me Clomid.
DH is pleased because his second SA results were exceptional!

Purpleprickles · 29/07/2012 21:31

Hi Ilove I'm ok thanks. Had friends to stay this weekend so I've not had much time to think. Still no af so I'm going to test again tomo but I'm not for one minute thinking it will be positive. I just think my body is on a protest or just giving up. How about you?

iloveberries · 29/07/2012 21:24

Hi purple, how are you doing?

Purpleprickles · 27/07/2012 17:34

Ilove I did 3 days ago and it was bfn. We've got friends here til Sunday night so I'll wait til Monday and if there's no sign I'll try again. I really don't think I am. From time to time I have a 40+ day cycle which is massively helpful when trying to conceive Hmm

iloveberries · 27/07/2012 07:24

Hi purple, just a quick message as on phone but you have poas haven't you? Xx

Purpleprickles · 27/07/2012 07:18

Thanks everyone. Pipbin I haven't been to the Dr yet. I'm going to wait until after these school holidays. I'm pinning all my hopes on becoming more relaxed over the next six weeks and being able to conceive. How did you get on at your appointment though?

Still no sign of af which means my cycle is now 35 days Sad I have no idea what the hell is going on Sad

I spoke to my Mum about all this yesterday, up until now I haven't because she is a worrier but it was actually a relief to let her know what's going on. We have friends down this weekend so I'm going to try and put it all out of my mind and enjoy them.

resipsa · 25/07/2012 11:35

Count - my sis got knocked up via a drunken one night stand (OK, it was with her ex but they'd been apart for more than a year). She told me about 6 months before it happened how much she wanted a baby. DN is 13 now. She always said it was a condom failure and for years I believed her but since TTC myself I realise that she has probably been lying for a long time!

Countmyblessings · 25/07/2012 10:37

Purple - you have every right to want to be pregnant, I know a friend of a friend is not in a relationship with the father of her dc and got pregnant after 1 drunken night 3 years ago, well she did it again they are still not together he don't want anything to do with the children and she's having another in january13!!!!!
I'm here happily married and have had 2 heartaches in a short space of time!
What gets me through the day is when i don't cry! Saying today is a good day!!!
The months after my MMC was hard as every time my AF came I just cried, but afterwards I just didn't focus on it so much and it got easier! I set myself some life targets and set out to do them!
Pipbin- good luck at your appointment, hope you get some good news!

I hear what you are saying Purple. It is so frustrating. Especially when everyone else seems to get pregnant by just thinking about their husband.
I'm off for my second fertility clinic appointment in about 5 minutes. Have you been referred yet?

Purpleprickles · 24/07/2012 22:48

Oh my god I'm so Angry with all of this. Sorry I promise to stop posting now. I'm not violent but I really want to hit a wall or something.

Purpleprickles · 24/07/2012 22:42

Sorry it's me again. And also because I did the test on a whim about ten mins ago when I really really needed a wee I didn't read the instructions for this particular one properly. For about 30seconds I thought I was pg as I got a - line in the window and the example showed a blank window meaning not pg BlushSad

Purpleprickles · 24/07/2012 22:38

Count sorry I'm glad you are having a good day. Apologies for my rant Blush

Purpleprickles · 24/07/2012 22:36

Thanks Count am glad I make sense Smile

BFN here tonight Sad Am really not surprised as opportunities weren't that frequent for dtd last month what with work, bad backs etc. I did a proper count of my cycle though this month going back over the last six months and they have been 32 days long. Today I'm on day 33, no sign yet. Not even sore boobs which is a regular sign that af is coming for me. WTF is going on with my body?? I'm so frustrated/anxious, trying to be sensible and not google early menopause. I'm 35 ffs, I'm not ancient. Why can't bits work properly. And although I'm being rational and accepting that we didn't dtd much this month why can't I have been lucky? People get pg from a one night sodding stand but no I can probably only get pg in the precise second my body releases an egg which is no doubt at 2.35am one day (which I can't calculate due to sodding crappy changing cycle) while I'm asleep.

Angry and Sad and a dose of Grin through tears.
