Just wondering if anyone else is still in limbo?! Now on CD35, no sign of AF, bfn on test (I think, hard to wonder if I imagine these shadows of lines on the ICs). Loads of symptoms but don't want to let myself get excited in case AF shows and it's all in my head. Anyone else in the same situation?

How annoying for everyone ?? I have one who's coming up 10 and the other is 7 both boys :) ... Have no idea when to expect AF to turn up as I had a lot of random bleeding on cerazette, but was on microgynon before that and usually came on 25 th if the month ish with a 28 day cycle x

Orangeisthenewbanana · 24/09/2014 20:15

Hi Kate and welcome. We're in a bit of a lull at the moment as AF has been lurking recently Angry. How old are your other DC? I am in awe of people with 3 or more - think 2 will be the absolute limit for my sanity!

Congrats on your pay rise Beaver and hope your DH's new job is going well.

Better head off, got to finish cooking dinner before GBBO catch up! Grin

Katewright699 · 24/09/2014 14:50

Hi ladies... Would you mind if I dived in :) im kate, 35 and me and hubby have decided to try for our 3rd.. I came off cerazette on 10 th sept, after being on it for 4 months.. Had a 2 day bleed on the 12 th and 13 th and have had nothing since then...would love to join you for some inspiration and advice along the way :)

R0ckCh1c · 23/09/2014 21:56

Hey Beaver,

Did they say how long until you get your results? Think it's usually 2wks? I'm sure they will come back fine & just your body taking it's time to adjust going back to normal. But will be thinking of you & wishing for the best!!

Yay, that's fab news hun! Means you'll be able to save extra monies ready for when you do get preggers Grin Hope DH enjoying his new job!? xx

Beaverfeaver2 · 23/09/2014 19:51

High fruits.
How is everyone?

I had my blood test this morning.
For some reason in really nervous about it.

I'm so scared that I won't get pregnant.

I'm on cd 85 now.

In more positive news I had a pay rise and DH started his new job this week.

Orangeisthenewbanana · 21/09/2014 11:46

Hi ladies! Welcome back Beaver, glad you had a lovely time away Smile. Cherry, happy anniversary and hope you're feeling a bit better now after your bug.
Nothing interesting going on here on the ttc front, CD15 and negative OPK'S still. Am expecting I should probably ov within the next 7-10 days so the POAS is likely to increase exponentially from now on! Grin

Hope you're all enjoying your weekends x

R0ckCh1c · 21/09/2014 09:37

Cherry glad you & hubby had a lovely wedding anniversary! Hope you're feeling better!

Beaver welcome back! You were very luck with the weather, it's been beautiful for September! Fingers crossed for blood tests on Tues! Ahh doggy day care Smile I am a big sucker for doggies!! Not allowed pets in my flat... So can't wait for the day we move out & get a house... Other half promised me he would get me a pup when that time finally comes! There is a 'therapy' dog at my works (school for children with autism) & I absolutely adore him... Wish I could take him home!

It was my other halfs birthday celebration with friends last night... So let my hair down... Well needed after the ups & downs been feeling recently because of poxie hormones!

Anyway, hope everyone having a lovely weekend! xx

Beaverfeaver2 · 20/09/2014 19:20

Hey crazy fruits, I'm back from hols.

It was a great week with surprise good weather.

After packing hiking and wet weather gear all I needed was a bikini!
Swimming in the sea with my puppy alongside me was the highlight.

No sign of anything for me still.
So that's CD83 now!

Was a little teary on holiday the first day for some reason. I just felt so angry that I hadn't come off my pill sooner and waited because DH wasn't ready. Finding it difficult to stay positive when we have waited for everything to be just right and now we might have problems.

Blood tests on Tuesday. Will see what they bring.

In the mean time I'm adding pineapple juice to my shopping list as my friend swore by it getting her pregnant and although I am not a fan of the stuff, I decided to read about it and there might just be something in it.

(Plus avocados, cream cheese and all other foods that have ever been mentioned as fertility boosters in the past)

Love my job (most of the one) but on a holiday come down and not looking forward to 7am on Monday at all.

I really want to set up my own open air doggy day care but DH thinks I'm mad. I'd rather work all the hours in the world if it was for myself and involved animals.
I just need to find a plot of pasture or forest to rent now...

CherryPie3 · 19/09/2014 17:34

Hi ladies :)

Sorry for my absence, it's been far longer than I wanted.

How is everyone? Hello to our new ladies :)
Sorry to those caught by the red witch :(

It was DH and mine 9th wedding anniversary on Wednesday. We celebrating by choosing the registration plate for his new car haha (he went for a Clio in the end).
Wednesday evening we went for a pub meal and the cinema. It was a fun night but towards the end I started feeling a bit poorly, and I've been in bed ever since really. I slept most if the day yesterday and all today. I've literally been getting up for the school runs!

Anyway, enough of my pity party.
CD59 today and another bfn. In only tested today as I intend to start taking Agnus castus and evening primrose oil to see if it helps. I guess we'll see :)

Take care ladies, I'll take my germs away now. I've even rung in sick to work! Unheard of!!!

scienceteachergeek · 19/09/2014 16:46

How we doing guys?

Flower, hope you're ok.

Orangeisthenewbanana · 18/09/2014 16:08

That's rubbish Koko, AF has been a busy witch this week hasn't she Angry. I felt quite upset and teary just after she arrived the other week. It did wear off, think it's just the initial disappointment plus hormones. Spoil yourself tonight.

flower hope you're ok xx

KokoLoko · 18/09/2014 15:12

Sorry flower, do you mean you got your bfp today? If so, congratulations!! Why aren't you feeling positive though? Let us know, we're here to listen Thanks

flowerbombVR · 18/09/2014 14:17

Bfp ladies
Just to let yous know - today I'm not feeling too positive though :(

Please excuse my pity party.

Will try to get bk on later xxx

R0ckCh1c · 18/09/2014 12:27

Koko there must be something in the air! I'm feeling blue today, but that could be cause of AF. I know how you feel about messed up cycles, makes it sooo hard to know when to DTD exactly. I had another batch of ov strips delivered from amazon yesterday... So I will continue to POAS lots too. Not had a positive strip yet though.

Our time will come soon... Well it better Grin xx

KokoLoko · 18/09/2014 09:57

Well, AF got me today Sad I really thought this was our time! The really depressing thing is that we don't even know when we can try again, I envy those people who have a proper cycle and know that they can try again in 14 days. With me it could be 20 days or it could be 60. Sorry, having a bit of a pity party today Blush

Good luck to everyone else! I'm off to Amazon to buy another 50 ov sticks, at least I get to poas lots when ttc Grin

scienceteachergeek · 17/09/2014 19:57

Come on guys....EVERY single day we're closer to holding our baby :) we're getting there, I promise :)

Love and best wishes to all xxx

KokoLoko · 17/09/2014 19:20

Sorry to hear that Impatience and R0ck!

Well, I cracked and did a test today, BFN Sad I'm due tomorrow so I'll try with fmu and fingers crossed! I'm sure something would have shown by now if I was though so I don't feel hopeful. I just hope that my next cycle is a bit shorter!!

R0ckCh1c · 17/09/2014 17:57

Thanks Science I better consult my docs.

Impatience I feel your pain. My spotting yesterday has now turned full flow... as I expected it would. So at least I know the spotting 2 weeks ago shouldn't have counted as a new cycle. Which means this cycle was 42 days... But at least is better than my previous 63 days!!

Keep positive all... One of us must be due for a BFP soon!! xx

ImpatiencePersonified · 17/09/2014 16:43

How I wish I could Orange my darling... Slimming World controls my every bite and slurp

sigh

Feel like I've been beaten up today, its a beast of an AF

Orangeisthenewbanana · 17/09/2014 16:22

Sorry AF got you Impatience Sad Enjoy a glass of vino tonight x

ImpatiencePersonified · 17/09/2014 12:43

day 54... AF got me

cowbag

scienceteachergeek · 16/09/2014 22:31

R0ck, that's 21 days from the start of AF. I questioned it because, as we all know, we're supposed to ovulate before that and my sticks said I ovulated day 17 but she (and the internet) assure me the hormone she's looking for will still be high.

I wouldn't have thought a smear would be fine. The doc was VERY keen for me to be up to date with smears.

Koko PLEASE be our first BFP!!

R0ckCh1c · 16/09/2014 20:42

Science - As much as I'd love that to be the case, I highly doubt it - Not had any positive results from my ov strips... Fingers crossed it will come soon though!! When you say you had first blood test done at day 21... Is that 21 days after AF?

I'm due a smear test, but worried about having one whilst TTC. Anyone know if it's ok to have one whilst TTC?

Koko - Fingers crossed for a BFP on Thurs Smile

KokoLoko · 16/09/2014 20:24

Hi everyone!

Donna so sorry to hear that Thanks

Nothing new here except DH at the weekend announced he thinks I might be pg, sadly it's because I turn into a right bitch when early pg and I was foul this weekend Sad

I'm due on Thursday I think so waiting till then tho my ov sticks have been getting a fainter and fainter second line and I thought if I was I might see something so I think I'm out. At least at 43 days this is a shorter cycle than my 73 day one!!

scienceteachergeek · 16/09/2014 19:29

Thanks guys. R0ck I've had a blood test today to check I ovulated. I went to see my new doctors yesterday (we've not long moved)....I went about something completely different but when I told her we were trying she offered the fertility tests. I've had to do one around day 21 and then they test again for other hormones on day 3.

orange and r0ck keep going with the ovulation sticks, that second dark line does come, I promise...for me day 17.

But r0ck....second line won't come if you're pregnant...fingers crossed you won't need the bloods :) Spotting and cramps......could be!

We MUST get good news soon!!!
