The Elderberry Pavlovas- All aboard the Berrycopter. Thread 14

Ooo, funky, I had 5 out of 6 days of what would usually be my period. Slightly pink/brown cm. Was convinced it was AF and burst out crying when DP noticed I was quiet and asked what was wrong. It was our first clomid cycle and despite staying with MiL/long travelling times/camping in a tiny tent/sleeping on mate's floors etc over shag week we still managed at least eod (and it was bloody hard work!!). When all this effort had gone unrewarded I was gutted, especially as AF was early so clomid didn't seem to have done anything for my short LP. But I never had my usual one day of bleeding enough to need a tampon so did an ic anyway and got my bfp. I don't want to get your hopes up but you're not ruled out of the helicopter just yet!!

Bunny we only let non berries in the 'copter if they are berries, ie over 30 and tried ages to ttc #1 before getting a bfp and now being totally freaked out and worried. Standards are not slipping, don't you worry .

ahhhh!

kuma!

I'm still here kitty , just keeping quiet but keeping a close eye out. Hence the recent outraged outbursts.

How are you doing btw? Testing time is fast approaching, no?

funky oooooooo......

Did somebody say list?!?

RP sounds like you are in good hands then .

Must go to bed now, I am fully intending to take advantage of having a bed to myself and nobody snoring in the vicinity... so must.not.spend.whole.night.on.MN....

Goodnight!

Kuma, thanks. DH has been seen by a consultant andrologist who prescribed this medication so I think that's it. It is just that sometimes he gets nasty headaches after. So we only use the meds around when we are ttc, around when we think I have OV.

kuma nah but prob because my expectations aren't so high! Think I might have heard the only 15% success rate I've too many times to fe hopeful!

funky I'm a very bad berry!

funky I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. I myself tried to see that faint invisible line on an OPK this morning; ended up pimping this evening and got a completely BFN . Until last month I always had spotting from about day 23 but again it hasn't arrived. I had seriously convinced myself that this month would be my month, lovely relaxing holiday, DTD 7 times in the 2 weeks around shag week, lots of lying around... but no, it just doesn't seem that its meant to be.....
DH is away with work at the moment so ended up having a cheeky and quite frankly awesome chilled bottle of corona with one of my friends so at least that has taken my mind of being at a heightened level or despair....

Tally sorry to hear you are still so sick, I hope you feel better soon

RP I hope things are going OK for you. I'm probably only suggesting things that you've already done, so sorry in advance, but does your DPs GP know you are TTC; if he has bad side effects from the medication, perhaps changing which one he uses or the dose would help?

kitty hows your 2ww going, is it the longest ever?!?

Sorry, I meant to name check funky rather than spare before (waves to spare anyway). Time for bed me thinks!

Arrgh I just said the wrong name!!! Soooo sorry! Shall I get mn to remove it?!

And...

Wtf?!?

FX funky it ain't over till its over!

kitty how did you not lunch your mate?!?

P.s. who is Marie?!?

Keep us posted. Am so confused by the Marie thing am going to back out slowly...

Sounds promising Spare, keeping everything crossed for you apart from my legs of course - ha!

Signed up for some personal training today - eek. Going to blast this diet and fitness once and for all. It will also give me something different to obsess about! It all starts on Monday.

tally sorry you're still feeling rubbish, hope you're feeling better soon

spare I despair at some of the other mn posts! I can't even bare to read them anymore!

Hmmm anyone else thinking what I'm thinking about marie??!

My implantation bleed was brown CM which went on for days. Are you testing again tomorrow?
I remember being laid in bed after a bfn on my last cycle (crying) and being sure it wasn't possible for one test to be stark white and the next to be bfp. However I proved myself wrong the next morning. I know it's said a lot but dont give up until AF comes, it's hard enough if AF does arrive without being upset before it even happens iykwim

gill me are rubbish taking any sorts or details. Cross your legs in future!

bunny I actually told my friend she is what we'd call an 'instadiffer', to which she replied "but it took 3 whole months"...yeh how awful for you

pip I think your friend might have been fibbing! Did you down reg? Is that why you've got to wait or do they make everyone wait?

boom was beginning to think you'd forgotten about us

Oh and same to you ms thunder!
