Just got to wait for AF now. Whenever she decides to arrive! Hope I don't have another agonising long wait like last month.

On cd28 here.

winkle2 · 18/08/2012 11:08

Thanks when.

I'm dying slowly on the inside every month that goes by!

BFN again this morning.

NicolaHazel · 18/08/2012 09:18

Ha ha, when...almost my thoughts, but I have Kylie in mind :-)

Enjoy Oz, Woody. I lived in Sydney for 5 months (the view from my desk at work was the Harbour Bridge and Opera House) and loved it.

If you have an Australian baby you should call them Bruce or Sheila (Blush at appalling stereotyping).

I had a tiny bit of spotting on Monday then basically just brown discharge every time I wiped until yesterday when I needed a pad. Guess I should probably count it from yesterday then? I think the fact that I am going to be away from before this af ends until about 2 days before it's due again is going to help the month go by a lot quicker. FX I'll conceive an Australian baby!

redstrawberry · 18/08/2012 08:08

Sorry woody enjoy the diving - very envious. I count it from the first day of flow ie when I need a sanitary towel. I have 2 days spotting before full flow starts.

Sorry af came woody

newbie don't have a date yet. GP said to expect a letter in the next few weeks with my scan date. I am having bloods on 31st.

What were your swab tests for?

It means when it's heavy I surposed, I have spotting for a day or so so abit of brown and I class it from when I'd start using tampons or needed to usually the second day

woody17 · 18/08/2012 06:57

kitty what does it mean by flow? More than just when you wipe?

kittykatsforever · 18/08/2012 06:47

I'm sorry woody but good that there is a positive side to, your surposed to count it from the first day you have a flow but it doesnt really matter as long as you do the same thing every month

frustratedpants · 18/08/2012 00:14

I count from the first day it appears, but only have a couple of hours between first spotting and full on AF

woody17 · 17/08/2012 23:07

One question though - do you think I should count first day of af as first day of spotting or first day of there being enough to need a pad?

woody17 · 17/08/2012 23:05

hi everyone

af arrived for me today. First one since mc. Feel ok about it - have had a tiny bit of spotting/brown discharge this week. I was so desperate to be pg but then I thought that if I am having this brown discharge, it probably means that my body wasn't ready for it. Hopefully this af will clear everything out and my endo lining can get nice and ready for next month. It also means that I will be able to scuba dive on great barrier reef and although I'd much rather be pg, I am excited about this. Hopefully we'll have lots of relaxed dtd on holiday and we might catch the egg.

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 22:55

Managed another dtd but in the back of my mind I think what's the point?!

Newbie2 · 17/08/2012 22:43

Whenshe when is your scan date? I had swabs taken last week, blood today and then I have the scan on 11th Sept.

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 21:58

Nic - he thinks he's cut down but I don't think he has. This week he was going to go out on Tuesday but I told him not to, he had 6 cans last night and he's out tomorrow. Too much for TTC I think.

redstrawberry · 17/08/2012 21:57

Not aldo! Although need some new shoes Smile aldi and aldo it is this weekend.

redstrawberry · 17/08/2012 21:56

Eeeeek sounds like we are all rowing with our men Grin I guess we are allowed to seeing as we seem to be doing all the worrying and analysing!!!

Making a mental note to visit Aldo! Thanks kitty

resipsa · 17/08/2012 21:54

Everyone - so much angst here today. I'm trying to think that nature inends us to reproduce (hence the excitement over freely available contraception in the 60s) so even if it takes a while, nature will have her way.

kittykatsforever · 17/08/2012 21:22

Red, blueberrys are in the super 6 at aldi at the minute, 69p a punnet, how's that for money saving, they are really nice too
Nic, wow the next 8 wks will fly by you'll be amazed, it's mine and hubbies wedding anaversary this weekend, 6 yrs eeek!
This time last yr I was 9 months pregnant. Really hoped I would be pg again but i guess god wanted me to have a drink this year!!I had a row with dh tonight aswell, it must be this muggy air and the fact they are men

NicolaHazel · 17/08/2012 21:15

The plans are fine...we actually argued more about people not coming / not RSVPing. Now the deadline has passed, everything is OK again.

We have a few details to tie up, most of which will be sorted on Sept 15, as we have a meeting at the venue.

It was funny last week as my sister came up and we were talking about how we would do things on the morning of the wedding. It ended up sounding like when they're planning in Shaun of the Dead! We all mentioned The Winchester at the same time. :-)

I think it'll be OK though. Looking forward to being a Mrs.

Wow 8 weeks is going to fly by. Are the plans going ok or is it getting stressful?

Wishful. One of my friends has just come back from there. She has had the best time ever. Have a lovely time. X

I know what u mean red, I think im losing sight of it happening. U start to lose heart and hope with it all. And I know what u mean Winkle about having all the sex for nothing to show for it. That's why I had a bit of a break this month, I was sick of it.
