Thanks! Though Rose is actually my surname. Wink

GnomieGrace · 06/09/2013 11:13

Congrats Rose!

ELR · 06/09/2013 09:12

Ooh well done and congrats rose!

ArkadyRose · 06/09/2013 07:50

CD18 8dpo; over on the Posifrickinivity thread (for ttc after mc) we have a rule that we're only allowed to poas on Fridays. 8dpo is pretty early, but I was feeling really crampy yesterday and my boobs are feeling rather full and a little sore so I figured what the hell, may as well seeing as I'm "allowed". Smile

And... I got a verrrry faint line! Pink, not grey, and it appeared within the 10 minutes, so I don't think it's an evap. I think I just got a bfp! Grin

I'm glad I got a big pack of ICs, because i will definitely want to check again over the coming week! Grin

Sorry layla Flowers

Have a Wine

Keeping fx for you all and also for next month for those who AF got

Refoca · 05/09/2013 21:10

Layla :-( sorry AF got you :-( I'm still only spotting, but 2 days isn't unusual, fully expecting AF to arrive tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for next month or the month after for bot of us.

GnomieGrace · 05/09/2013 18:29

So sorry that AF arrived for you Layla, sending huge boxes of chocolates and plenty of wine! I have had no Ov symptoms yet this cycle but am on CD13 so may just be OV'ing late this month. Hello returnees, fx for all those in the 2ww I'm not out for the count yet so I'll see you on the other side of this shagfest.

ELR · 05/09/2013 18:21

layla that sucks so sorry your af arrived. Big fat piece of cake or chocolate and massive glass of wine required. Mother Nature really is a bitch, at least you will get the tests and will hopefully know a little bit more about what's going on. Have a good weekend. Xx

layla1976 · 05/09/2013 17:08

hi guys.... feeling really crap...my af turned up nearly a week late...spent most of today in tears...i'm glad i did not test now but i'd convinced myself i was pregnant..its weird though coz i have been trying for so long, its so similar to when i had a chemical pregnancy before (really common).. you notice these things when you been tracking for as long as me!!! i'm all over the place dont know when to start using opk's perhaps ovulation will still be middle of month or like times before it came literally straight after bleeding stopped...day 4 for example..think i'm gonna start as soon as af stops..gonna be expensive month- will prob need a 20 pack of sticks... plus i could have anovulatory month as thats common if it was a CP... who knows...got more hospital appointments...next one fri 13th...good day huh!!!!... welcome to all the newbies.... i'm gonna go and lick my wounds for a while but i'll be back when and if 2ww starts all over again...... goodluck guys......... xxxxxxxxx Sad Angry Wine Wine Wine and more Wine

ArkadyRose · 04/09/2013 20:20

I'm a returnee - was here last month, hoping for better luck this time!

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 14:01

I know ELR it just makes it more difficult for us really... Hoping we dtd enough anyway but time will tell

ELR · 04/09/2013 13:10

snoozy yes I've just started using it and it as put me a few days out compared to other sites too! That's all we need to add to the confusion!!
According to ff my fertile days are 3 days earlier than other sites.

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 11:42

Fingers crossed for you refoca Flowers

Refoca · 04/09/2013 10:11

I spoke too soon, spotting today :-(

Fingers crossed it's just a little bit and there's still a sticky bean in there.

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 00:15

Thanks for the welcome refoca I was here last month so this is my second cycle

Was meant to dtd tonight but didn't work out Sad

Is anyone else using fertility friend app? It looks like my 'fertile days' are 2 days later than standard predictions Confused

I think if not positive for me this month I'm going to move onto opks for 3rd cycle... Trying not to be pessimistic !!

Got the best part of 2 weeks to wait yet

Refoca · 03/09/2013 22:44

Sounding promising layla, hope we see you back here with a BFP come the weekend :-)

Welcome to the 2ww Arkady and Snoozy (or welcome back? Sorry, I've not read the whole thread from the start or if I did it's long since fallen out my other ear)...fingers crossed this is your month.

Nulanoo any update?!?

layla1976 · 03/09/2013 13:44

FX for all of you...AF still not here but was having cramps like AF last night but nothing today just feel nauseous as hell...??? ...i'm gonna stay off this website now for a few days unless AF arrives..feels like its gonna..cramps like that are not normal right?? ...gonna test fri/sat time IF i get that far...doubt it...good luck peeps!.... xxx

ArkadyRose · 03/09/2013 08:15

CD15, 5dpo and into the 2ww again. This month DP and I decided to opt for the tactic of dtd every other day from the moment AF finished until either AF puts in an appearance or I get a BFP. Got good feelings about this month - so fx!

snoozysleeper · 02/09/2013 23:33

Hi all

Settling back in for 2ww, cd 15 for me Brew

And fx layla for you, sounds promising indeed

ELR · 02/09/2013 20:21

Ooh layla sounds promising! I would be dying to test can't stand suspense. Still keeping fingers crossed.

bushprincess · 02/09/2013 19:40

Hey layla... good luck on the wait, .fx .af doesn't catch you and hope the wretched uti clears up soon!

layla1976 · 02/09/2013 11:07

Hi ladies!!!!! hope you ALL have had a fab weekend!?? how is everyone going???
ELR.. I have been trying for nearly 3 years , but in that 3 year period gave up for a year as was made redundant and so was my other half so timing was all wrong, plus the stress of it all was doing me in!!! ... funny thing is we only started trying again recently ( 3months) and this was my first cycle with the dual hormone clear blue digital OPK's and a product similar to preseed.... I NOW SWEAR BY THESES PRODUCTS!!!!... i had been doing it wrong before I think.. the other opk's which only gave you solid smiley and no before flashy ones , i would test first thing in the morning and then have to go to work until really late and sometimes we would end up DTD around midnight that night , the rise in LH could easily have happened the day before if only testing once a day, we got so fed up with DTD as it got so clinical so would put it off just for those times, I reckon i missed it several times.... this time we DTD on first day of smiley flashy, DTD on the 2nd day of smiley flashy, missed the 3rd day of smiley flashy and first thing in the morning of the solid smiley then we didn't bother after that.... think that preseed type stuff must do something to really prolong sperm life???...god knows.... ALL I CAN SAY IS AF STILL NOT HERE!!!!! ... i have no period like cramps but no preg symptoms either?..not sure whats happening... the other website said to wait until at least wed to test but i'm gonna wait til fri/sat... my AF's are always 27/28 days on very very rare occassions it could be 26 days but NEVER over 28.... I think once it was 5 days late a few years ago so im still not convinced..Hmm.it could be anything Confused maybe my body is just playing tricks on me but will soon see... this is gonna be one long week!!
REFOCA... whats the situation with you?? how late and when you testing??
i have everything crossed for you all......
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

GnomieGrace · 31/08/2013 22:18

FX Layla! Hope you get your BFP!

Refoca · 31/08/2013 22:11

Layla so good to find someone else who's waiting a while. :-) fingers crossed AF stays away.

ELR · 31/08/2013 20:32

layla keeping every crossable part of my body crossed for you!!
How long have you been trying?
