buffythenappyslayer · 25/07/2006 15:51

congrats bobblehead!!!
am very happy for you!!!
have told dh to get a test from tesco on way home from work,i know i have to do it,but im pooing my pants incase i get another bfn or if i get bfp then i'll still poo pants incase i mc again!!
why is it so hard being a woman!!!!

bobblehead · 25/07/2006 14:14

I think you should try another test soon Buffy, hopefully you'll get a bfp. The symptoms sound good anyway. Has af been regular before this (since last time?). You should join the positive August thread- good place to let off steam!

Well good news for me- I got a bfp!!! I tested (v. early- af not due until tomorrow!) on Fri and got an oh-so-faint line, but when I tested yesterday afternoon I got a stronger one. I still want to confirm with a "proper" test later on in the week as I know testing this early isn't a good thing as alot can happen. I'm over the moon though, and in quite a state of shock!

Good luck with your test, hope to see you in the antenatals soon!

buffythenappyslayer · 25/07/2006 13:10

hi guys!
still no af and i havent tested since week before last (i think,seems ages ago anyway!)
too scared to do another test!daft or what!!
just hoping im not going to be like before again,dh doesnt understand why im not testing.i dont want to get my hopes up only to get a bfn again.
getting a few 'symptoms' but am worried that im bringing them on myself,iykwim!
feeling crappy,very sick,sense of smell has gone into overdrive!also getting alot of discharge down below,nothing nasty to suggest an infection,but just alot of watery mucousy stuff (sorry if tmi!!!)
when do you think i should test (thats if dh doesnt drag me off and hold me over the loo!!)
af was due 6th july.
i know im being stupid,but i just dont want to be dissappointed again!
all the tests i did a couple of weeks ago were all neg,so maybe i tested too early or my body is still messed up after mc.
sorry to moan!!

bobblehead · 20/07/2006 01:47

Congrats Piffle!!!

Did you find you only got ferns at ov time or did you notice you had a "pattern" you would follow throughout your cycle if that makes sense?
I've stopped using mine but may start on cd1 and this time write down what I get each day to see if there is a pattern (though maybe my hormones are skewif and thats why I get occasional random ferns?)

Happy healthy 9 months and hope to join you soon!

buffythenappyslayer · 19/07/2006 20:58

congrats piffle!!!!!!hopefully we'll have some more scope babies soon!!

Piffle · 19/07/2006 19:03

Not posted for ages but would like to tell you all that I used my scope the last month and got my BFP
It did help pinpoint my cycles btw
Good luck to you all xxxx

buffythenappyslayer · 18/07/2006 17:37

still no af for me today.just sit and wait for it to come as i know im not pg.grrrr at body!!

bobblehead · 18/07/2006 17:31

Sorry Buffy

I'm still trying too, just waiting for af to show up next week now. Still fairly sure I'm not yet ovulating, didn't even get much cm this month.
Good luck!

buffythenappyslayer · 17/07/2006 12:52

hi guys!
did 3 tests,one last tuesday (didnt flash so cant hav done it properly),one on friday and one this morning.all bfn.

still no af though so im hoping my body isnt messing up again!!

bobblehead · 10/07/2006 18:55

No luck so far, but only had 2 af since stopping bf, so really this is only 2nd month of proper trying. Don't even know if my cycles are regular yet! Last one was 35days and I suspect I ov on cd22. On day 21 of this cycle so we'll see what happens!

buffythenappyslayer · 10/07/2006 16:54

pmsl @little swimmers!!(for a brief moment i thought you meant the huggies ones!!!!!)

still no af,but i just dont want to get my hopes up!if no af by the weekend then i think i'll do a test.

any luck with you?

im the same,get lots of ferns on a night time.dont know why!they didnt say in the leaflet!!

bobblehead · 10/07/2006 16:47

Hi Buffy, any news?

I have given up with scope too, just sort of lick now and again just to see. Try it different times of day and after eating, etc just to see why you're not meant too! Night time also equals more ferns for me, not sure what thats all about. Found a new fun use for ot though- watching dh's little swimmers! You can just make out the little guys swimming about under there, way more exciting than ferns!

buffythenappyslayer · 09/07/2006 12:52

hi guys!!

havent been around for awhile,so was really pleased to see some bfp's!!!

CONGRATS MRSBILLY AND RUBY!!!!

ive stopped licking,i was getting blobs most of the time but ferns around tea time!even when i shouldnt have been obulating!!so ive given up on it!!

feeling abit iffy today,af 3 days late but im not getting my hopes up just yet!

fingers crossed for the next scope bfp though!!

has anyone else had any luck?

bobblehead · 29/06/2006 13:39

Ooooh congratulations!
You timed it very well then- married before morning sickness/getting bigger sets in! Are you glad you didn't conceive when your dd was 9 months now? I knid of look back and think "what was I thinking"?! Now would be a really nice time though.....
I too have shelved my scope. CM seems a much more reliable indicater. Noticed last mobths the ferns had nearly gone by the time I had real ewcm and ov pains. By then dh was too tired to bd and 14 days later I get af so fairly sure I'll spot ov on my own now, albeit alot later on in the cycle than it used to be (cd21 of 35 day cycle, so long to wait!).
Good luck for your wedding!

Rubymummy · 29/06/2006 12:06

Fingers crossed for you bobblehead x I'm scared now though and wondering what the heck i'm doing! And I'm getting married on Saturday!!

bobblehead · 25/06/2006 15:01

CONGRATULATIONS MRSBILLY!!!!!!!
I'm sooooo happy for you! The first of the scopers to get a bfp I believe, here's hoping for the rest of us!!!!

MrsBilly · 25/06/2006 12:22

Got a BFP on Thursday night!!!! don't know why, but something made me test and it came up straight away. Had a bit of a flap cos of the spotting over last couple of weeks but went to A&E and they made me appt for scan at EPADS this morning. Scan shows a pea sized thing with a heartbeat, I just burst into tears. They reckon it's 6 wks and 3 days old. I also have a cyst on one of my ovaries but they said that's quite common and should clear up by 12 week scan, and that may have been what was bleeding. I'm so happy I could bust! The only ferns I've had were obviously caused by my preg hormones... Anyway, had to share the news. I think I'm having a lucky run as also just got a fab new job, and they don't mind that I'm pregnant, so I'm passing on luck to everyone else x x x

suzi2 · 12/06/2006 22:24

hugs MrsBilly. TBH, I think that fertile after mc might have a little truth, but not a lot. So don't hold too much by it. If your AF doesn't appear in another couple of days I would test again. Hopeing it's a BFP sent by your angel for you.

MrsBilly · 12/06/2006 21:43

Did a test when af was late and it was negative. A friend at work today says I should maybe do another one because from what she understands about the licky scope (as we call it) it shows hormonal changes and obviously pregnancy is that. I've been very weepy for the last few days but just the odd spotting as far as af goes. Sorry for tmi but that has changed colour today from kind of mucky brown to pinky red. Am going to wait a couple of days and see if I get more ferns before testing again. I'm very emotional just now anyway baby would have been due 28th June Sad and was kind of hoping to be pregnant again by now. After all, they reckon it's supposed to be easy to get preg after m/c. At what stage does that not apply any more?

suzi2 · 12/06/2006 19:25

sorry - forgot!

no ferns. But I guess that doesn't really mean anything!

bobblehead · 12/06/2006 14:00

Any ferns Suzi?
