AF. Also, walked out door yesterday morning to find car tyre completely flat.

Fence panel still down in garden, going to try to get to that today.

Water still coming in through walls.

This time I think I had an 11 day LP.

:(

Thanks Berries, I feel very fortunate. DH is really happy too and also keen to try for a FUFC in the meantime!

SidneyBristow · 07/02/2014 21:38

No AF as yet but feeling crampy and horrendous so expecting to have to call the clinic tomorrow and leave a message. Really getting nervous about how scans/EC/ET will fit in with SKs' schedule this month Confused

happylass · 07/02/2014 20:46

Great news Kuma. Delighted for you Smile

RevoltingPeasant · 07/02/2014 20:17

Yay! Somebody buy that committee a drink!

Sid scan??

FeatherFeather11 · 07/02/2014 19:48

Kuma! Excellent news! Woohoo!

Everyone else - not ignoring your stuff at all just been crazy busy at work this week and now running late to a friends' birthday thing. Will check in properly this weekend.

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 19:39

Woohoo Kuma!!! Get that FUFC in now tho!

Sid, any sign of AF yet?

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 18:04

Great news Kuma. Now just a short time to squeeze in a FUFC BFP!

HampshireBlues · 07/02/2014 17:54

Kuma yay!
Sid hope you've got your scan booked.
Nothing from me either Barkinh

Um, sorry for the mis-type twang / Wang .... Perhaps I should stick to slap!

IamKuma · 07/02/2014 17:42

Twanging reminds me of the dirty Rainbow episode. If you don't know it, look for it on You Tube!

Also, NHS said yes; start at the beginning of April. Smile

Hope everyone is having a good Friday!

All this talk of twanging is weird. Twanging is when your heart twangs from your beloved doing something sweet, or it is to me anyway lol.

I won't wang you either though barking just hugs and Flowers

Sid I know how you feel, the whole not happening naturally is a lot to get your head round. Think positive though, FCs can work miracles Smile

AF is usually spotting merk so it's difficult to say. More spotting today.

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 10:23

Sid sending positive thoughts. This will be your last AF for a loooooooong time Grin

SidneyBristow · 07/02/2014 09:48

Oh barking that dream is the worst, isn't it. here have some Cake

AF due today, feeling crampy already, so expect to call in to set up my first scan if she arrives before 2pm Shock genuinely can't believe this is happening, it's just so surreal. Wish I could believe that I was in line for a FYFC based on the extreme nausea I feel right now, but that happens every month, so i'm not giving into it this time! Still a bit sad though. Ah well. Maybe my next cycle will be the lucky one Smile

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 08:56

No twang from me either. Do you think its AF or just spotting Barking?

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 08:48

No twang from me, just an unMN hug.

barkingtreefrog · 07/02/2014 06:58

Oh ffs someone twang me. I dreamt I had a baby. I then woke at 5am (as I have done for about the last 10 days) and decided that as I had insomnia when I got my bfp, this, plus the dream must be a sign let's ignore the AF cramps, the typical acne and the spotting so I pimped. BFN. Wtf was I expecting? A bloody miracle? Angry

barkingtreefrog · 06/02/2014 22:53

You did say that, but I was looking in chat... What a trip down memory lane!

BoodleDoo · 06/02/2014 22:30

Oh, hang on. I did say that! Have you been to classics? It's in the mumsnet stuff section of chat.

BoodleDoo · 06/02/2014 22:28

The 90s one? It got moved to classics...sorry! Forgot to say that!

barkingtreefrog · 06/02/2014 22:16

Ok boodle I give up. Where's that bloody thread?!

barkingtreefrog · 06/02/2014 21:37

Yep. Just one round of clomid left unless the FC give me some more. I think I'll wait until a 'proper' flow before starting my last set. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary including hideous cramps and bloating here's still a totally delusional side to me that thinks there's a chance I could be pg. Confused

BoodleDoo · 06/02/2014 21:27

Oh, bugger it, Barking. Let's hope this is just your body doing its final adjustments before getting back to normal. Did you take clomid on this last cycle?

BoodleDoo · 06/02/2014 21:23

OK, chart fans, I think FF's got it wrong this month. here

I reckon CD14 is most likely ovulation date? The dip on CD 12 is very low, even for me, and I wonder if I dozed back off and let the thermometer slip out of position...it was a Sunday temp after all!

I always seem to get a slow rise after ovulation, so the CD15 temp would make sense.

barkingtreefrog · 06/02/2014 21:23

Well, it's official, no shotgun wedding for me Sad . Bad acne, bad cramps and enough blood to put in a tampon rather than go to yoga wearing a sanitary towel (ew). AF is in the building.
I'm only on cd23 and 8dpo so if I didn't ov on the same day I got my +opk my LP has got even more ridiculous Sad . I really thought my cycles were finally sorted but 22 days?!?! Pre mc it was 31 Sad .
