Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

So sorry to hear your news swede. I'm thinking of you.

Engels, hope your break is just what you need. Hope to see you back soon.

CallingAllEngels · 29/12/2013 22:34

Popping back in to say swede, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Sending you a big hug. The mc board here has some great threads and lovely supportive mners. Or feel free to pm me if you want to offload. xxx

Awakeagain · 29/12/2013 21:28

Lucy fingers crossed for bfp for you in the next few days
Swede I'm sorry to hear your news Sad Thanks

Windywinston · 29/12/2013 20:36

Lucy, I would treat it like a new cycle and start using opks again. Is there any chance it could be a shy BFP?

Please don't berate yourself for feeling frustrated either. Yes people go through far worse and you recognise that, but it doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel frustrated and upset and it doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid. Otherwise none of us would be allowed to get upset about anything, ever.

LittleMiss, I use the My Days app which I've found really useful.

HRMumness · 29/12/2013 20:08

Oh Swede - Sorry to hear. Glad that you have family around.

Lucy - I'd say go to the doctors if you are worried. At least then it might put your mind at ease. Fingers crossed for BFP in the next few days.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 29/12/2013 19:00

Hope all Drs app go well!
First month of trying so am new to it all! I will definitely have a look at apps though! Awaiting to see if I have AF over next couple of days but already think I'm having stomach pains but will keep my fingers crossed!

Kt1991 · 29/12/2013 17:32

Thats a strange one lucy sorry your still in limbo, hoping it is a BFP for you, but it’s just taking a bit longer to show up! I think I ovulated just over xmas, unsure of the date Im thinking boxing day so we will see! Yep I have booked a docs apt, its friday 10th, which is only 2 days after AF is due, but my dr is away for quite a lot of training days and hardly in on the only days I can book, so will see what happens!
I have PCOS *little( so I don’t use the OPKS, I think they are the best option though. Or temperature checking, I just don’t want the extra hassle and stress of having to do that all the time though lol. I just record my details on lots of phone apps, then guess from there! I deffo had the stomach cramps last week so I am hoping that was ovulation! How long have you been trying again?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 29/12/2013 17:14

Thanks KT and Toffee! So sorry to hear your news Swede Hmm This sounds such a supportive group! Still getting used to all the acronyms though!
What have people found to be the best way to know you are OV?
xLittlex

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 16:33

I'd do what I did, Lucy, and treat this as a new cycle and start using OPKs again. If you're having a WTF cycle you don't want to miss your next OV window. Unless of course you get a BFP tomorrow! :-)

I see the midwife on 9th, so not long.

Sounds like I've been lucky that DD isn't bothered about having a dummy. She's only ever wanted one a handful of times. These says she chews the hard bit to help with teething, but won't use it in the traditional manner!

Hi everyone.
Swede I am so so sorry that is just awful. I hope you are looking after yourself and treating yourself.
Not much to report at my end. Still no AF and absolutely no sign of her appearing now. Boobs are still a bit sore but not so much. Pretty sure I'm not pregnant, will do another test tomorrow or tuesday as it will then be a week late. Guess I just skipped a cycle? I don't know whether to keep waiting for AF, or just move on to the next cycle, or book a Drs appointment? I'm just so annoyed that after trying and waiting for 6 months, now this has to happen and throw another spanner in the works. I know other people go through much worse things but I feel like I put my life on hold so we could go for #2 and now there is just more to add to the delay and waiting. I'm worried that it could mean something bad about my fertility too. I think I will start using OPKs in a few days and just keep ttc as usual, and hope 2014 brings me a bfp.
Sorry but also hurray for the sickness Hungry! How long until your mw app?
How are you doing kt? Where are you at in your cycle at the mo? Have you booked a Drs app for january?
Donna I could do with some tips for being rid of dummies! I am thinking of getting rid of DDs while I'm off work for the next week or so. she only ever has it when she sleeps, but she is pretty stubborn and headstrong so don't think it will go down well! Has your DDs sleep been very interrupted by getting rid of it?
Hello to all the newbies Smile. Sorry to anyone I've forgotten!

Ah thanks everyone. Yes still with family so lots of support. Just can't believe it, maybe it's my age...Sad

Windywinston · 29/12/2013 11:47

Swede I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you're being looked after. Take care xxxxxx

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 11:04

On and off, Kt. It worries me a bit as there's none, then I'm sick in the shower and feel better, ha ha!

It's mostly smells that set me off, particularly DH's Lynx!

And I agree, NYE is totally overrated.

Kt1991 · 29/12/2013 10:07

You still getting sickness hungry? hope you feel better soon :), NYE is so over rated I think, so expensive to go somewhere too!

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 09:29

We have no NYE plans. I was invited to a house party but it's an hour's drive away and I'm not feeling great so can't face it. :-/

I need a Lucy update too!

Kt1991 · 29/12/2013 09:17

Sorry to hear your sad news swede'hope your ok. Thanks
Welcome to little and HR!
Haven't had a chance to read back but hope you all had a good Xmas.
How are you lucy? Anymore updates on BFP or AF?
We have in palms for New Year's Eve yet, we've left it pretty late! But we are very skint ATM so will probably just go over to my parents, maybe go for something to eat, though I'm guessing probs have to book somewhere if places are open!
How's everyone else doing that I've missed out?

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 29/12/2013 08:20

Oh swede I'm so sorry. Are you still with family? Do you have people to look after you? The miscarriage board on here is also great if you want sone sensitive online support. Look after yourself x x x

donnas1984 · 29/12/2013 07:33

Swede, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling, sending you lots of love and hugs from Scotland Thanks xxx

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 07:30

I'm so very sorry, Swede. I really hope you have a healthy pregnancy very soon. Xx

SwedeAway · 29/12/2013 05:07

I lost my bean yesterdaySad Had brown discharge in the morning which later turned into full red flood (sorry TMI). Am totally devastated and not sure what to do with myself. Was so happy now it's gone...

donnas1984 · 28/12/2013 22:30

ps dropped my phone and shattered the screen so some of the words may be wrong. waiting till new to claim insurance Sad x

donnas1984 · 28/12/2013 22:29

hi hrm, dd turned 2 the beginning of November and we told her santa would be taking her dummy in exchange for peesents so once she was aleeping on Christmas Eve we took it off her. shes been mumping and moaning saying Santa's bad and me no like santa. Christmas night was hard as she was trying to sook her doll's dummy I almost caved in. I wouldnt take it away without prior warning as she now tells me that shes a big girl and doesn't need a dummy which is great after only afew days! fx it goes as smoothly when you try xx
Will also try not giving this baby a dummy. xx

HRMumness · 28/12/2013 21:24

Oh, should add, no plans for NYE. We were invited to a house party with friends but without a car it just seemed too hard to get there and back (and no guarantees DD would actually sleep).

HRMumness · 28/12/2013 21:23

Oh noes Toffee. When are you POAS next? I too feel like I ate far too many Christmas goodies as well.

Donnas - How old is your DD? My 17mo DD is very attached to her "dee" for naps / bedtime. Am very keen to wean her off asap but not sure best way to go about it.
