So sorry for the bfn mama!! Roller coaster ride this.

bushprincess · 03/09/2013 13:10

ahhhh.... waiting is driving me to distraction... not that I don't have enough that I should be doing... but my mind keeps creeping back to that hpk in the bathroom cupboard......

was much easier last month when AF turned up a couple of days early... better that than this hope-raising lateness!!! grrrr......

I will not break yet... It's a bit like schrodingers cat ... until I open the box (POAS) I could be both pregnant and not pregnant all at the same time!!

hope the rest of you are doing ok... sorry for the bfn mama but fx for tomorrow or weds!

lucyfluff · 03/09/2013 13:08

Yeah try again in the morning mama :) im sure we have lots of bfp's to look forward to!

Ive got AF from hell, all I want to do is sit and eat biccies :( have warned DH hes dtd every other day in sept!

DisneyDiva87 · 03/09/2013 12:54

Ha! If you start peeing like a trooper try not to think too much on it, it's probably just the orange juice

mama31 · 03/09/2013 12:50

Thanks disney! And yes I just downed a pint of orange juice....needed that! :)

DisneyDiva87 · 03/09/2013 12:48

Re-reading my post it sounds a bit insensitive mam sorry about that Sad

I should have said I'm sorry you got bfn's but maybe your pee just wasn't strong enough. Your body probably makes more hormone at night which is maybe why fmu is best. Try again in the morning and let us know!

DisneyDiva87 · 03/09/2013 12:42

Least you can have a drink now mama Grin

What temp are you getting leezl?

mama31 · 03/09/2013 12:36

Thanks ladies! Def not an evap line! Its faint but a definate line and no line at all on the other ones! Yes I will try again in a day or 2 if no af arrives.

Writerwannabe83 · 03/09/2013 12:33

Don't lose hope Mama - just try again in the morning. I made my way through about 15 BFNs until my BFP finally arrived and as crappy as the BFN's felt at the time, it was well worth the trauma Grin

Spirael · 03/09/2013 12:30

Aah! This thread moves so quickly! Congratulations mrsmummy. :)

Not much to report here... The EWC seems to have disappeared. Far as I can work out, I should ovulate at some point between now and the weekend, assuming my cycle is the same as normal. So, best get busy!

Not monitoring temperatures or using OPKs here yet, but I might start doing that next month if we have no success this cycle. I remember we also used Preseed with success for DD... Might have to investigate that again.

It all seems so long ago!

snoozysleeper · 03/09/2013 12:29

mama Flowers I don't know what to say..

Could the first have been an evap line? Can you test again tomorrow or in a couple of days? There's always a chance if AF hasn't turned up!

mama31 · 03/09/2013 12:26

:( did a superdrug one and another amazon one with same pee.....both bfn :( don't understand why that first one has a line and still has a line :(

leezl · 03/09/2013 12:24

I've been temping for a week and it's still very mystical and strange to me! My temperature seems very low so I wonder if either I'm doing it wrong or my thermometer is duff!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 03/09/2013 11:46

Coffee same here, I'm always up at least once for a wee so can't temp. Wish I could as the cover line would tell you if symptoms are real or imaginary/pms!

CoffeeGuzzler · 03/09/2013 11:25

I hope Hayley is well.

I'm on cd20. Have no twinges or aches that I don't get normally. I think. Paying all this attention to myself is exhausting.

CoffeeGuzzler · 03/09/2013 11:17

I usually wake up for a wee in the middle of the night..so temping isn't really for me.

DisneyDiva87 · 03/09/2013 11:13

I keep meaning to temp but I never remember to do it first thing

CoffeeGuzzler · 03/09/2013 11:11

jaykay...oh no! I don't do temping because not enterprising enough so can't really offer you advice. However, doesn't timing and sleep pattern and breathing etc influence temp greatly? How long are your cycles?

PurpleGeekyGirl · 03/09/2013 11:08

Congrats mummy that's awesome GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

Blouer any more news from you??

How's Hayley? Has she posted?

My af is so heavy. Am so tired with it all too. Am determined to just chill this cycle too. Am gong back to work on thurs for first time in nearly a year so maybe latent stress of that is what caused a 17 day cycle?

snoozysleeper · 03/09/2013 10:58

Congratulations mummytobe and good luck for today mama31 Flowers

I'm on cd16 so have the 2ww now Confused hope I don't do symptom spotting ...

leezl · 03/09/2013 10:54

Ooh keepswimming I've never had that before... Hope it's something good for you FX

keepswimming1 · 03/09/2013 10:51

So ladies can I have you thoughts please :)

(alert TMI) This morning while showering, I cleaned myself out lol anyway I had a tiny bit of browny/red discharge very stretchy, what is this? Af due friday! Ovulated around the 20th I believe.
Tested negative yesterday :(

jaykay987 · 03/09/2013 10:46

coffee - we got the positive opk the same day but I haven't got a BBT rise. So disappointing. So I have had ovulation pain (front and back) for almost two weeks and it's still strong.
I had high opks for 7 days followed by 2 peak. But I've since had 2 low opks and no temp rise. Not sure if my body will take awhile to gear up again? or if it just won't ovulate this month.
Last month I had a text book 2 highs, 2 peaks followed by a temp rise 48 hours later. Fooled me into thinking my body was working right. Now I have no idea. I feel like I've been in ovulation limbo for two weeks!
I'm stressing now as we haven't dtd since Friday, and are now unlikely to until the weekend. Afraid we're going to miss this fertile window and I won't get another chance for 5/6 weeks! Hate my long cycles. Sad Sad

leezl · 03/09/2013 10:18

Sending my thoughts to justhayley too, hope you're doing alright today.

cheesysmile · 03/09/2013 10:09

Ok so I've just managed to catch up with this bus after a few days away ... my goodness this is one speedy bus!

Not much to report my end as only on cd 6 so in the boring stage of ttc, altho dh and I have been having some fun, a few drinks, going out, ddt for no reason other than we wanted to ... crazy stuff Wink Been nice to stop thinking so much abt ttc for a bit actually.

Big congrats to mummy Flowers super exciting for you! Hopefully we will now start getting lots of Sept bfps.

Good luck mama, keeping my FX for you.

Hope justhayley is ok Sad
