I think my cycles were just getting back to normal-ish and then second mc happened Angry. But you're right Kitty, some women on the ttc after mc thread have had screwy cycles for a good few months after. Sucks!!
They are impressive temps Smile. Now, you know at 3dpo it's too early for implantation, therefore too early for a SYMPTOM!! Wink

i HATE waiting to ov!! Much worse than tww!!

angelaham · 12/08/2014 21:05

I am going to have a rant, tonight and tomorrow is meant to be the last days of me being fertile, we done the deed on sunday night and was hoping to be able to do it again tonight but hubbie is tired like he was yesterday, so thats my chances of getting pregnant well and truly fucked!!!

sorry rant over lol!!

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 20:52

Hey kitty, eww a symptom spot, I don't have any at all yet but I think to early as prob only just entering tww. Faintest dull ache in right ovary but much less that last few days. As u say to poas in secret or not. I'm not going to stress on it and will make a call next wk, with my funky cycles who knows what might happen.
My only slight issue is whilst away if no bfp I will drink and eat shellfish and soft cheese for sure and I'm not sure how happy I would b doing this not knowing, hmmmmmmm decisions decisions. So r u due bfp on 23rd kitty?

KittyVonCatsington · 12/08/2014 20:43

English I'm convinced miscarriages mess up cycles for some women longer than we think and if we need help ovulating at a good time, then so be it! I still have nightmares involving flashing smileys... The SIF are still proving good- I'm loving that my post ov temps just keep going up and up (up another .1 today to 37.88 at 3dpo and that is usually a 7ish dpo temp for me)

Testing is secret is a dilemma katy! I'm going on a weeks holiday to France at the end of the week with DH and my DSis and her family so am umming and aching wether to take some ics or wait until we get back Sat 23rd which will be 14dpo-should I be good or become a POAS addict, hmmmm??!! Hope it's a dilemma worth having though and we get our BFPs!

Okay. Who wants to have a laugh at my 3dpo SYMPTOMS?! Seriously, far far too early for implantation and I've never heard of progesterone causing this but I have peed a total of 8 times already today and I haven't really drunk that much and it doesn't feel UTI related to me. Methinks this is going to be a loooong TWW Grin

Enjoy your Wine oneday Cheers!

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 20:31

Ah thanks sparkle just gave it another go just in case sorry for to much info so that 17, 16, 13,12, and 9. Will try 19 and 21 just to b safe maybe even 23 and then hopefully a bfp.
Love the wine one day I am trying to be gd till hol which is 1 wk 1 day today :-). Bad timing though as either af will b with me whilst I am away or will have the dilemma of whether to test or not but away with parents!!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 12/08/2014 20:08

Thank you everyone, you ladies give great advice. I'm sat with a glass of chilled wine trying to chill myself! Definitely going to do my very best not to test unless absolutely necessary.

sparkle17 · 12/08/2014 20:06

Your doing well on the dtd front this month katy I reckon you might be in to your tww now.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 12/08/2014 20:06

Hi ladies,

Sorry af came Spinning & Chandlers- she's a whore! Fx for a June baby! And like Linda says June babies are the best.... I'm a June baby Wink

Second flashing smiley day today. My ic's however look nowhere near positive. Could be in for a load of flashies Hmm. Def trying the SIF next cycle.

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 19:42

I am keeping all crossed for those left to test xxx

BananaToast · 12/08/2014 19:07

Just checked cm and spotting very lightly so looks like AF is on its way. Pretty gutted - I knew it wasn't likely to be my month but so many people I know have fallen pregnant first month trying part of me felt like it could happen.

MaGratgarlik1983 · 12/08/2014 17:29

Thanks Jenny and congrats to all with BFPs!!!
Was feeling very sorry for myself but then this afternoon have been feeling crampy and twingy - although I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot!! Think I'm going to enjoy the sunshine and try to take my mind off everything for a while.

KittyVonCatsington · 12/08/2014 17:16

laura big virtual hug coming your way-I've missed you! I'm so sorry August didn't bring you a BFP. It's so bloody hard Sad Lots of penis dragon luck on the Sept bus xxx

KittyVonCatsington · 12/08/2014 17:13

Spotti ! How wonderful! I can't believe you are at the stage where you've gone from a bean to a wriggly baby-I swear you got your BFP yesterday Wink Glad all is well xx

Spotti · 12/08/2014 16:30

That's pants spinning. Going to keep everything crossed for you (and chandlers...and everyone else actually) next month. Come on September!!!

Had my 12 week scan yesterday - apparently we've got a very wriggly baby! And one who I think is going to be quite a kicker...it kept stretching right out and pushing on the walls of my womb.

BananaToast · 12/08/2014 15:40

Cd32 and 9dpo, no sign of AF or spotting. Previous cycles my literal phase has been quite short, only 9 days according to fertility friend although I've felt ovulation cramping a day or two earlier than it says I ovulated. So FF thinks AF is due tomorrow and by now I usually have some spotting. Will probably test on Saturday if AF still hasn't made an appearance - just have to hold out til then.

Shetland · 12/08/2014 15:32

I tested at 10dpo this time jazzy and got a bfp. Previously I've tested about 12dpo and had positives.

jazzyjenbo · 12/08/2014 14:49

Late lunch quiz....
How many dpo do u all cave and start testing? And if ur an early tester whens the earliest u have got that bfp (based on previous pregnancies) x

tickletink · 12/08/2014 14:47

Bluesky, you're right, 7DPO is early. Since my post earlier I've been feeling a bit crampy - so I guess I'm on the symtom spotting wagon now afterall!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's implantation pains. Because if it's my period then I'm most disheartened - a luteal phase of seven days is a bit of a disaster! I definitely ovulated on the 5th, based on a positive OPK on the 4th and a temp rise to agree with ovulation on the 5th.

Or the cramps could just be wind. lol.

ohlordyplordy · 12/08/2014 13:58

So many Bfp's, it's awesome like a hot dog!

Hugs to those of you gripped by af, but good luck in September, June babies all round x

I'm cd11, trying out the smep that kitty recommend. Ovia predicts rhat I'm fertile from 13th based on only one cycle though.
Dosing up dp on berocca for the rutting season lol.
Fx for a bfp 30th aug.

gennibugs · 12/08/2014 13:41

spinning sorry AF came. that sucks. I'm ordering you to devour a bar of whole nut this evening and chill.

laurano nice to see you, I was wondering where you are. So sorry AF got you but at least thinking positively you won't be sick on your hols now. FX sept is your month.

laurano81 · 12/08/2014 13:23

Thanks Sparkle x KMFx that you get a BFP! x I wrote my stats on the September bus & I was like OMG! BFP due 8th Sept!! The months are flying! x

sparkle17 · 12/08/2014 12:14

Sorry af got you spinning and laurano. Gutted for you both. Hugs and wine for you.

My dh has his hopes up this month. I don't which is a bit of a role reversal for us. I think I will test on Thursday.

laurano81 · 12/08/2014 11:23

Hi ladies Smile,

Sorry I was AWOL the last few weeks! I needed a break tbh x

First of all congrads to Fairey86, Pompatrol, Shetland, Phryn,
BitchPeas & Wineandchoccy ..wishing you all a happy & healthy 9 months x

Sorry that AF arrived for so many of us! Myself included Sad x I had spotting 11 & 12 dpo, then today 13 dpo the witch took hold! TBH I'm not at gutted this month, as I didn't want to be sick whilst being away, but at the same time I am annoyed that I am onto cycle 10 & still no BFP! Moan over Smile x So sorry Af got you too Spinning x SUCKS!

I'm going to jump onto the September bus! x Good luck to all still waiting for a BFP! x

JaneyTea · 12/08/2014 11:22

MaGratgarlik1983 7dpo is still very early; still plenty of time for a BFP to show up. Fingers crossed for you.

MaGratgarlik1983 · 12/08/2014 11:15

Was just really silly and POAS even though I'm only 7 or 8 dpo...obvs negative, feel so rubbish, really thought maybe this month but I've had no real symptoms anyway, just fed up!
