LittleMiss Once you've had one fixed it wont show a new one. It shows the fixed when you have your LH surge, which is usually 24-36 hours prior to ov. Last month i got a fixed on 16th and ov'd on cd18 (according to FF). DTD 12,13, 15,16,17 & 18. Got a bfp at 11dpo. Sadly it didnt stick.
Hope that helps.

I'm feeling quite nervous about poas tomorrow. Don't think I've ever felt this nervous. I've only got an expensive Clear blue digital so going to have to use that. Maybe AF will come overnight and mean I don't have to be nervous as I'll know. IF it is positive the EPU have said they'll give me an early scan for reassurance. I'm debating just waiting longer though. Using the maths suggested by all the literature I should have had AF on Sunday but all bets are off post MC I assume so I'm probably just getting hopeful for nothing.
This might be FAR tmi but does anyone else have permanently erect nipples! This happened while I was pregnant in November and December and it's happening at the moment.

Awwwh choccy wish I could give you a hug and I don't want to make you cry but had to share what I think of you coz I know it's what we all think on here x

MundayCakes85 · 15/01/2014 19:23

Congrats to the BFPs and good luck in Feb to those with AF.
Choccy I'm so sorry to hear about this, hope in RL you have lots of support, can't imagine how you must be feeling.
With regards to the blood panel requested it looks like your GP is covering all bases, think someone previously mentioned the baby aspirin for anti-phospholipids causing MC but can't remember the details. FX you get some answers soon. We're all here for you x

Choccywoccydodah · 15/01/2014 19:18

Mama you just made me cry. Thank you mwah x

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 19:14

As I'm sure you know treaclepie! Which year do you teach?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 19:12

Sorry to hear that lifehasafunnyway!

Thanks English how many days does the constant smiley stay for do you know? Haven't had one yet as didn't use OPKs last month.

Lovecuppy I'm the same OH thinks we are casually DTD lots (which he's happy about) and wants to take the relaxed approach ... I'm far from it! Wink

Treaclepie yes I am which keeps my mind off ttc but do worry about the job if/when I get pregnant as very demanding on my body!

Treaclepie19 · 15/01/2014 19:04

So sorry to hear your news choccy :(
Fingers crossed for you.

Congrats to the BFP's :)

littlemisssunshine seems we are similar, I'm trying to get my BMI down too and did you say you are a teacher also?

Lovecuppy · 15/01/2014 19:01

Thanks for the new thread English. Hopping on board on the back seat as AF not due to end of jan. Congratulations to all the BFPs :-)

Choccy so sorry to hear of your news. I'll lurked for a while before joining the last few buses and I'm sorry for what you are going through :-(

I've been hiding as not sure what's going on. Ovulated last month on cd 14/15 following some pretty sharp ov pains but am currently on day 15 and nothing?! Odd twinges but nothing like last month. Don't really get ewcm so can't use that and in dp's eyes we are using the relaxed approach (or so he thinks!!) so not using opks. Does anyone else's ovulation dates vary each month??

EnglishGirlAbroad · 15/01/2014 19:00

Littlemiss... The flashing smilies can go on a bit. Don't tire yourself out. I'm doing eod til fixed smiley then gonna bang out 4 days in a row of DTD.
Besides you need to give hubby's sperm a chance to refresh. Good luck!
Kitty... I feel your pain! But high 5! You're doing well! Haha! Wink

Choccy, I'm so so sorry. I was so hoping for you that it was just something minor and all would be ok. I really hope once you pick yourself up (and you seem so strong doing that), and are ready to try again that you get your sticky bean this time. You deserve it xx

Congrats to Ruby and OnlymyDog! xxx

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 15/01/2014 18:56

Firstly choccy so sorry for your loss. Like other posters have said I hope the tests shed light on what is happening.

I'm out this month. A.F arrived before. xx

KittyVonCatsington · 15/01/2014 18:51

CD23; STILL no positive OPK result. Is it really bad to sort of wish it would happen just so I can stop having 5.30am sex as I'm just so tired! Parents Evening until 8pm yesterday and I was passed out on the sofa by 8:45. DH not been around in the evenings for DTD as is working on a property after work. Oh well! Will keep DTDing every other day until evil AF rears her ugly head...

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 18:34

not so etching -'something' predictive text!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 18:32

Hi Newbies! Congrats OnlyMyDog & Ruby!

Sooooo sorry Choccy! Must be so hard! Glad to hear you have your family around you fingers x for valentines day!!

Still in flashing smileys stage! DTD as much as poss!!
Joining Slimming World tonight need to get my BMI down Hmm but I'm going to have so etching yummy before I go (doesn't matter if I'm heavier this week!)

mama31 · 15/01/2014 18:21

Choccy you are such an amazing person, I know we don't know eachother in RL but I've been on these buses with you for.....well what feels like forever!!! and I just know that you are so strong and determined for a positive outcome and I know for a fact that you will get it! People like you never give up! And never lose hope!! Make sure to get plenty of cuddles from your wee one and DH! We are all here for you whenever you need to chat/offload/rant or whatever you want to do my love xx

KittyVonCatsington · 15/01/2014 18:00

That is a lovely thought to hold onto, Choccy Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 15/01/2014 17:55

Thanks ladies x

Just got off the phone from my mum, absolutely gutted, we've just had a good cry together.

(I'm not really thinking about it too much at the moment, but if I WERE to get a sticky one next month, I would find out valentines day)

KittyVonCatsington · 15/01/2014 17:38

I am speechless, Choccy, I really felt as if I had gone though the whole process with you this month and feel very saddend by your news. You are a very strong person and we will be with you every step of the way. Thanks

mama31 · 15/01/2014 17:36

Choccy so so sorry to hear this!! Have been praying for you all day you poor thing. I really hope the tests shed some light on what's going on for you so it can be sorted asap and you get your sticky little one very very soon! Huge hugs to you xx

Ruby congrats to you and I hope and pray for you also that it works out for you, I'm sure it will x

EnglishGirlAbroad · 15/01/2014 17:28

Ruby.... thats lovely news. I'm keeping everything crossed for you that this is the happy ending you so deserve. Congratulations Smile

Choccy, firstly i'm so sorry. I really feel for you. I'm glad you have a supportive doctor who isn't just fobbing you off. I hope the tests shed some light on things and you get to the bottom of things. Hugs xx

Choccy, I am so sorry x

ImaginaryHat · 15/01/2014 17:21

Choccy I'm so so sorry, this process is so cruel. Hope the blood tests give you some answers.

Ruby, that's lovely news for you, although I expect it comes with a whole load of conflicting emotions. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
