I love green and blacks (any chocolate is good but love the g&b).

I am bringing prosecco, nothing to celebrate but I like it and I am filling the treat room with bean bags.

SunshineOutdoors · 21/09/2012 19:22

Oh when I'm sorry. I know we always say this but any chance it's implantation?

Think we're all starting to synch in a weird 'living together' type way. I think I'm going to come on very soon. Cd 35 here and although my last two cycles have been 42 days, pre dd I had a 35 day cycle and this time I had ewcm 2 weeks ago. So even if I'm not pg maybe at least my cycles are getting a bit more normal? I'm having cramps tonight too.

Maybe instead of the c.o.d we should have a lovely treat room for all of us. I've got Wine and green and blacks chocolate Smile

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 21/09/2012 19:12

Well I've given up. It's 12 dpo (tested at 10 dpo and bfn). Af cramps started and I got a tiny bit of spotting.

On the plus side I am having Wine tonight.

winkle2 · 21/09/2012 18:49

Red - 11DPO is still very early. Don't give up hope x

SunshineOutdoors · 21/09/2012 18:13

red I'm having exactly the same 2ww as you. Know I'm not pg so just want af to hurry up. Had PMT style irritability and that made me more irritable knowing it means I'm not pg.

I know it sounds silly but I'm going to try and give myself treats when af comes so it's not too bad. Pjs, hot water bottle, red wine and chocolate. I'm (almost) looking forward to it Grin

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 21/09/2012 17:53

Hi red, sorry you're not feeling positive this cycle. :-(

We appear to be upping the game this month, kitty. After H2B's brother announced his wife is pregnant, I've read him the riot act and told him we need to do more. So it's Conceive Plus shagging every other day, then I'll get him every day around smiley time.

He's quite pleased, I think, as he gets to have more sex (not sure why he didn't work it out before!). I'd say he's gone from JSing to TTCing this cycle. Finally!

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 17:28

I know exactly how you feel, you start off with positive expectations and in the 2ww you convince yourself youve failed and yet you've got to wait for ad before you can start again Sad
Wine sounds like a great idea, if it helps this month me and dh just dtd from stoping bleeding til the day after Smile no more no less, think may have had 2 days between one but pretty much the same consistent and I always drink, not excessively but a fri night without a beer to relax and unwind wouldn't be right
Hope it's still abit early for you, it does happen and fx xx

redstrawberry · 21/09/2012 17:05

I am 11dpo today and had a BFN. I tried SMEP this month. Guess it just didn't work. Just drowning my sorrows with some Wine tonight. I have only had 2 glasses the whole month. Yes it really is a protection thing. I just want keep sane through the ttc process. The start of the cycle is always upbeat and hopeful with lots of positivity. When it comes to the 2ww I just feel so down because I know it hasn't worked again.

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 16:15

Awww well don't give up, if you back read I was uterly convinced this wasn't my month, everything was different from last time but somehow it looks like it might be, it is a protection thing aswell though so I understand
I tested wed with frer and got a decent line and did a digi thur morning, I havnt done anything else, I'm tempted but also feel that's where madness lies?!? Can't tell you how many time I knicker check though Blush
I may do one more frer tomorrow to check the line as have one left but really don't want to go down that route again
( I possibly spent around £60 last month)
Fx for you, how far into the 2ww are you?

redstrawberry · 21/09/2012 15:46

I am okay, not feeling very hopeful again this month. I am in the 2ww. I just want AF to come and then start all over again next month. Had a few symptoms but I am not reading into it. I get disappointed every month.

Have you tested again? Hope that line gets darker for you soon x

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 15:31

Red!!!!
Hello from hiding place, thankyou, I really hope it's in eventful this time but trying not to think too much about it, getting through the first week will feel like a hurdle!
How are you?!? Xx

redstrawberry · 21/09/2012 14:07

Kitty just wanted to say I am praying its a sticky bean for you this time X

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 13:20

Well I have zero feelings apart from dreaming every night , tired but not exhausted and abit windy but lets face it this could all be attributed to anything not pregnancy!!
I didn't even have those tell tail cramps!?
Infact I'm abit worried i just have leftover mc hormones but I did get a bfn a few weeks ago?!?
May test again tomorrow to see if the lines gone darker??

Kittenkatzen · 21/09/2012 12:39

I really hope it does kitty! AF is due Monday or Tuesday....I've actually been itching to test for a couple of days now, but that is exactly the reason I haven't bought any cheapie sticks yet and I don't want to waste £15 so am hanging out to see if the witch shows up. The cramps I had last week have disappeared and I'm feeling distinctly normal now, so not convinced it's out month really :(

winkle simple = boring Wink

winkle2 · 21/09/2012 08:43

I'll keep you all posted.

I felt ok taking it! No headaches to report. Only taking it for 4 days.

I'm using my CBFM too - this TTC business is expensive what with all the supplements and OV sticks! Although keep telling myself it's cheaper than IVF!

Hub and I are taking 3 different pills every day... And we're back on the organic food! Read that chemicals are bad for sperm.

Gosh why isn't my life simple? :(

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 08:30

Kitten when is it time for you to poas??
Surley your kitten name will bring you luck

Kittenkatzen · 21/09/2012 07:27

ooh winkle I'm really interested too, will you keep us updated?

ribs that post made me actually lol on the train which was slightly BlushGrin

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 21/09/2012 07:05

I'm quite interested too...I'm quite wary of these things though, and I've seen mixed comments. Fx it does the job. Did you have any headache last night?

kittykatskumkwat · 21/09/2012 06:39

Ohhh winkle I'm excited for you to see how this works!!! Are you using the cbfm to see if you ov sooner or opk???

winkle2 · 20/09/2012 22:20

CD3 so starting taking soy isoflavonos tonight. It's supposed to release a big healthy juicy egg! Heard many stories of woman taking them and getting pregnant first time so fingers crossed! Got hub on the pine bark extract to see if that helps morphology.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/09/2012 17:03

lol RIBS! Perhaps a nice quiet toilet in some back wing of the hospital somewhere might be better? although he might get a few raised eyebrows if the sample is still warm! lol

I've been very irritable and tearful last couple of days, as I usually am with pmt in the week or two before af, so it probably means I'm not pg. :(

Good luck When, fingers crossed for you.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 20/09/2012 15:36

Thanks for all the hopeful messages. I'm 99.9% sure this isn't the month but maybe next month will be.

ribs that last post was hilarious. How worried would you have been if he had said, no problem dear I know just the spot to park my car.

winkle2 · 20/09/2012 14:31

RIBS ? the jury's out on what affects morphology but we all know that alcohol and smoking are bad for sperm and a healthy lifestyle is what you need when TTC. someone recommended Pycnogenol (pine bark extract0 as good for morphology so I've brought some of that today from Holland & Barrat.

Grin at your hub whacking one out in the car!

RIBS · 20/09/2012 12:58

Congrats kitty Hoping this is a super sticky sucker!!

I hope you start to win the battle with DP winkle. Does the alcohol affect the morphology count or is it just one of those things?

My last gynae appointment wasnt hopeful. They've finally agreed to do a sperm count for DP again, as they kept ignoring me, they were under the impression that he got me up the duff before - he can do it again. The thing is, we have to be at the hospital with a FRESH sample, less than an hour old, except the hospital is about an hour away. DPs gonna have to drive to a secluded spot and give himself one!! Grin Grin Grin Then dash there and park up and run in with it. He'l get arrested im sure of it. He's mortified! He just keeps wondering how hes going to get in the mood as cars as whizzing past, he said its very distracting!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 20/09/2012 10:30

Fx for you winkle. xx
