The Elderberry Pavlovas: still chasing that 'copter in the hope of a festive BFP. Thread 16 (the one where Happy was left in charge!!)

Thanks barking that sounds horrible. I haven't been in horrendous pain at all, just had a dull AF type ache for past few weeks, nauseau and sore breasts. All the pg symptoms without the actual pg! I'm more concern as to why my cycle is so short and the effect it has had on my hormones. Out of interest and you may not have had that close an eye on your cycles then but did it make any difference to your cycle length?

I love that merk keeps an eye on all of us and offers some very valuable advice!

Yep I'm the one with mega high immune test results merk my body is falling apart I think! Thanks for the recommendation and will bear that in mind.

bunny I am the same for all the berries... Hoping my positivity and will power can steer you into the chopper! I clearly need more chart links to obsess over though

Meant to say, who was it who had the super high immune results? Any update? I read that there's a clinic in Epsom that specialises in immune stuff

barking hope you have a better day

sid hugs for you, we are here if it is AF or not

yorkie keep an eye on that my dear, maybe call the NHS helpline?

merk I am worried about you, you are obsessed woman!

I think RP was due on Thur (based on previous LPs) and FF thinks Tuesday. It's impossible she O'd later than I think based on her chart so yes i would say she's def late unless her LP has magically lengthened for no reason! Last month her temps dropped on CD2 but even now her temps are much higher than they are normally
Just sayin....

yorkie I had an ovarian cyst (years ago) but it was nothing to do with bleeding, I was in excruciating pain and got admitted to hospital via ambulance (was camping with friends at the time) with suspected kidney stones. Thankfully I didn't need the op as it sorted itself out and was absorbed. I don't know whether there's a difference between the cyst I had and the cysts the fertility consultant said could be caused by pg (he wanted me to have a scan to check before I took the provera and went back on the clomid).
I'd definitely want to get that checked out, doesn't seem right to me disclaimer, I don't actually have any medical knowledge to base my 'not right' feeling on

merk my temps don't drop until cd3 ish, but isn't rp late now?

sorry I'm probably making it sound much worse than it is. It's not gushing all the time. Just a couple of times last night and in the middle of the night I could feel it coming out. Sorry tmi. I emailed my consultant yesterday to ask if early AF was due to iui or cyst but she didn't get back to me.

Yorkie I have no experience of that but I'm sure I read somewhere if blood flow was more than a certain amount that you should go to emergency doc/hospital

Has anyone else ever had a ovarian cyst? I've just started AF and was only on day 22 of my cycle. Tmi but I've stood up a couple of times and literally felt the blood gushing out of me. It doesn't feel normal in the slightest

So sorry you had such a tough night barking Glad you spoke to your mate and hopefully you'll feel a bit better knowing that someone else is in the know and can help steer those conversations onto something else.

Fx for sid and rp
sid do you know when you ovulated?

Sid think lots of people's cycles got longer on clomid x
Barking sorry I missed your shitty night, hope its better from here
RP is sticking her head in the sand, her temp is still up this morn

barking glad last night turned itself around. Hoping today is easier for you now that you've confided in your friend.

rp? Anything?

Cd30 here and FF puts AF as arriving today; am usually 28 days so not sure if I'm late or maybe that the clomid wonked me up a bit. Either way not testing til tomorrow at the earliest. Polyp removal set for tues so if AF is coming, she needs to get a move on - if not, I'll be that much more ecstatic bc I'll get to cancel the procedure!!

Scared shitless really to even hope. My brain knows it'll start later today as it always does, but I can't help but hope I'm wrong. Feeling tearful about it already.

Ha! I'm here to check on rp as well merk!!
Come on rp we need bfp/af updates!

thunder I had a long chat with my mate after we'd gone to bed. Feel better now there's someone to look out for me!

Morning all, barking I'm sorry you had such a low moment last night but glad you could talk about it with someone. Hopefully the rest of the weekend will be more fun now x

RP?

funky that's hilarious! I always dreamed of that happening to us and fantasised about having to call the fc! Anyway, whatever he has been through, that's nothing compared to what you're going to go through! I always think of jules Oliver's book when I think of jizz tests. She says the receptionist was all star struck when she realised who Jamie was and stood there talking to him with it in her hand for ages!

Sorry you've had a horrid evening barking. Sounds like an awful experience. Hope you've managed to enjoy a few wines.

kitty dh was over moon but slightly peeved as he only did jizz test yesterday and said it was the most humiliating thing that he's ever had to do!! I actually said on the way to the hospital "won't it be funny if you've gone through this today and I'm pregnant tomorrow". Hehe!

Hope you lovely ladies have nice weekends xxx

Thank you for all the support berries, pg woman has gone to bed early so easier now. One of my mates came to see if I was ok so I told her. Feeling better about it now .

for you barking. I know it must be very difficult, but be strong, breath and know that this is all temporary. One day it WILL be you. Agree with whoever suggested to maybe tell one of the girls you're closest to you what's happened for some convo steering. xx

funky splendid news! What did dh say?

Oh barking I almost cried myself reading that! I really think you should tell someone just so they, like you said, can steer conversation. You've got all weekend of it otherwise. Be strong bud xxx

barking how horrible sending some berry power your way x

Oh barking that is awful, hugs for you x

Barking

Sending berry power. Maybe just tell one of the girls you know well?

Funky - big congrats!

Barking, you poor thing - that sounds horrendous. Berry power vibes coming your way. x

Congratulations funky hope the next few weeks are really busy and time goes as quickly as possible.

Good news charming, fingers crossed.

I need berry power. On a hen do (yet another one). Staying in apartments and in with takeaway tonight. I know 4 of the girls here tonight fairly well, 2 not at all. One of those two (a bridesmaid) is not drinking because she is pg. It took me off guard as I hadn't even considered it was going to be a problem this weekend. I thought I'd be able to deal with it. None of the girls I know are aware about my mc. I debated telling them while it was just us in the room earlier in case I needed help steering the conversation away from babies, but didn't want to talk about. Now I'm on my own in the bedroom sobbing because the whole conversation for the last 10 minutes has been about her pg and the scan, and how big the baby was and how they heard the heartbeat at such an early scan and all I could think about was my scan and how I saw the baby but never heard a heartbeat .
