We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

alayant sorry to hear that but at least you have something to look forward to over the weekend and more temping to spot the next ov date !

hopefully next friday will be a better one for those of us on the thread. have a lovely weekend.

oh fedup that's a great idea. I really really really need some new bras too.

emki i'm not quite sure why i'm an inspiration to you it's obviously not for a bfp ability, but thanks for saying it!

No more POAS? Come on... I know you are out there.

So my retail therapy for af arrival was underwear. After ds my boobs shrunk to smaller than they were pre pregnancy and also like deflated balloons When I stopped breastfeeding I bought three very expensive new bras and said to DH that I wasn't going to buy any more until we had dc #2 when i assumed my boobs would change shape and grow again. Well, those bras are pretty darn manky now and not exactly enticing DH to DTD so I treated myself to some nice new ones! Manky stuff now in the bin. Along with a good knicker drawer clear out it was really quite therapeutic! I'm not very good with matchy sets as you can tell but at least all the fraying, grey and holey items are gone!

Well you can carry my BFP over to today! I tried so hard to hold out! I'm sorry!

thanks alyant. It's crap all this isn't it. Not holding out much hope for myself This month but there is always next month.

Hope everyone has lovely day in the sun xx

oh emki that's good news.

missp I hope this month treats you better than me! bfn at 9dpo is nothing to worry about. it'd be a miracle to get a bfp

my temps were almost identical to yesterday. so they are still higher than they were before ov but I can only assume that they will continue to drop.

af defo here now. bitch! This means a cycle of only 23 days which is the shortest i've ever had since i started recording. bah. they had been slowly lengthening since the mc i thought.

aly sorry for the bfn but you are an inspiration to me! Hope you have a really good night tonight xx

Hello missp and sorry AF is being a real bitch this month fedup

I have OV cramps today (I think) dh due home today .... Just maybe we might not waste a month .... Xxxx

alyant sorry more signs of AF. Evil!!! What did your temps do this morning out of interest. Excellent news on dH raise. Some retail therapy def in order.
emki. Glad to hear you back. I have missed you. Project desperate allows to use twins I think.

Anyone else poas. I did this morning at 9dpo. Neg surprise surprise. Due tues so wait and see what happens.

Sorry Aly. Sounds like you have lots of good things on the go. Latitude looks amazing. And camping with AF out of the way will be a plus.

Fedup AF sounds miserable. Hope you have something cheery lined up for the weekend.

Sorry to hear that aly.

Hope someone will have some good news today to keep us all positive.

oh fedup there's nothing worse than bed sheet leaking. urgh.

i'm alright thanks. was really feeling down yesterday but i've accepted it today for the moment. my silver lining is awesome and tonight me and dh are going to drink some bubbly to celebrate a raise he just got at work.
I refuse to let this ttc game get me down :)

chins up all! we will ALL get there in the end

Poo. Sorry aly that af is en route. Hope you are ok. Hugs. I would say wine but its a tad early for that, even by my standards.
Af is being a right bitch to me this month. Second night of bed sheet leaking (sorry tmi). Why can't she just F off?

morning all.
did anyone POAS? I did (like fedup i like any excuse to POAS), and it was neg of course. And then about 5 min later more evidence of AF's imminent arrival appeared. Typical.

sorry to hear that DH is away at the critical time emki. What a poo!

Morning ladies - good luck for today, hoping we have some BFPs !

aly hang in there. Implantation happens 6 to 12 dpo so don't give up hope just yet. But I also know how you feel in terms of gearing yourself up for the worst. Then if its not af, even better, in fact - amazing! Hope you are ok. Big hugs xx ( plus I like any old excuse to POAS )

saggy huge congratulations! Fantastic news!

I've been away for a while, but logged on tonight and so much has been happening.

I'm in my fertile window and DH is away ......!!!! Very frustrated but have worked out that next month he will be on holiday (with me) in my next fertile window ... must get pregnant then because he goes away again after that!! May have to call on identical twin brother ....

Loving the Whistles and diamond rings talk, very good idea to get him to promise to give you a diamond ring on the day of the birth - perfect!

Think there is a sale on in Whistles right now...

{{{waves to newbies}}}} huge congrats to saggy again xxx

I don't know when I ovulated. It was days 20, 21 and 22 of an average 26 day cycle. So about 4 or 5 days before AF was due.

what dpo was your spotting saggy?

Don't POAS yet Aly. I did on day 11 and got a negative. You might get the wrong result! Hold out for a few days.

thanks for the reassurance guys but it's probably much better for my sanity if I assume the worst for now and don't get my hopes up. This is how AF started last time (but not quite so early).

I have found many charts on FF with a similar dip to mine but they were mostly all a bit earlier. I will find out tomorrow morning if it is indeed a dip anyway - maybe it will just stay low and confirm the worst.

I'm going to POAS tomorrow anyway even though i know it will be negative! Dont want to miss the chance for some POAS action on my free stick - it would be a crime NOT to POAS.

silver lining: off to latitude next weekend and it'll be much more fun if i'm allowed to drink a bit (not too much as DD will no doubt wake up in the tent at the crack of dawn. And that's EARLY these days...)

alyant i read avg is 9 dpo - so 10/11 seems reasonable. Don't give up yet. I know the natural reaction is to think the worst. Give it a few more days and then POAS. Good luck ! Seems like work is in a great location, if you have John Lewis close by.

rainbow so next Friday it is. I hope I last that long and AF does not make an appearance.

10 dpo is very common for ovulation. Don't lose hope just yet!

alyant. It's not over yet. 10 days fine for implantation and a dip would signal that too. Hang on and test Sunday with a fish slap.

ah f*ck.
tiny bit of pink on wiping. 10/11 DPO that's way too late for implantation bleeding.
That's 4 full cycles post mc now, when previously i've got pg on the first cycle both times.

Do you reckon the GP will give me the time of day if i go and see them, or do you think i should wait another couple of months?? So worried that the mc has stuffed something up in there
