Definitely darker some so fx it sticks for you this month XXX

Mumwannabe82 · 17/10/2014 10:01

Aww want I'm really sorry but glad that you are keeping strong xxx

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 17/10/2014 09:54

Yesterday's test on the top, today's on the bottom. I'm not imagining that the line is a bit stronger, am I? They both look really faint in this picture but they're stronger to the eye. This is a shitty ipad camera.

Boohiss to the AFs and BFNs. Sad

Ohlordy, I'm still temping, but only because I had a chemical pregnancy last month and I'm scared this one might be too. I want to see my temps rising - and if I get a big drop, I know what's going on. I want another week of high temps and positive tests and then I'm stopping as I'll be past where it happened last month.

I said I wasn't going to test again until tomorrow, but I can't help myself. Did another FRER this morning and the positive line is slightly darker than yesterday's. My temp is still climbing too. I'm not out yet but I definitely want to see a much darker line before I feel comfortable. 13dpo today.

Sorry to hear that want but great attitude and glad your first cycle has been a normal length Smile

gennibugs · 17/10/2014 09:48

Greetings from Berlin! just enjoying a coffee and couldn't resist popping on to see how you all are.

Congratulations on all the BFPs! !!!!
FX there are some more soon.

6/7dpo and feeling very sick and tired. I have also woken up with a cold which is a definite symptom....right???? Wink

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 17/10/2014 09:45

Well and truly out. Af is here with a vengeance. At least I can drink at the party and my cycles returned in good time (29 days) after 8yrs on the pill! Not feeling too sad, will be on pregvember! Will hang around for a bit as all you ladies are lovely! But will be hopping over to November bus too

Morning all!

Thanks Blueberry, I will see what today brings

Treacle you are getting cramps too, when did they start? I feel like I am due AF since I ov'd on Saturday. Very strange...

Dozy I'm sorry you are having a tough time of things. I got a shock last cycle when we DTD and OH had apparently 'finished' but there were no swimmers anywhere to be seen... I got very upset but said nothing about it as I didn't want to make a big deal of it and potentially create any future problems. Luckily it hasn't happened this month.

Katy Good job with the SMEP this month, it does seem alot! That's something I've been thinking about trying next cycle if I do not get my BFP this month.

Sorry for the AF arrivals and BFNs this morning Flowers

Katybear123 · 17/10/2014 09:31

Hi want, hmm I don't know if sunbathing is lurking maybe she can tell u? I have all crossed for u.

Terry I am with u I think temping would in fact b the final thing to make me go crazy!!!

TerrysNo2 · 17/10/2014 09:15

ohlordy I stopped straight away, there was nothing it would have told me anyway and would only cause concern, and there is enough of that anyway without stressing over temps!

Enjoy that you're pregnant!! Smile

Mumwannabe82 · 17/10/2014 08:40

Morning ladies, had a mad dream last night that I was POAS and my AF started there and then so the test went bizarre and had lines crosses all over it like it was confused lol
Due AF today and having a few twinges but nothing when I go to the loo so hanging on to last bit of hope xx

I'm so sorry to anyone with AF or frustrating BFNs, wish we could all wave a wand and get the BFPs we really want xxx

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 17/10/2014 08:35

katy I did consider but at 14dpo wouldn't that be too late? Unless I ov'd later than I hought but then would be 4 day old sperm I I did get pg... Gah I think it is just the witch tbh! No other sysmptoma really since 4dpo

Katybear123 · 17/10/2014 08:26

Morning all

Dozy I feel ur pain. I to am crazy!!! I cry if it doesn't work not that helpful and dtd its self is an effort. Don't get me wrong I like it but this month did the Smep as if anyone enjoys doing it that much!!!

Sorry for those who af has arrived for

Want your symptoms I guess could be implantation bleed. Sunbathing had that.

Cd 21 here dtd now over this months. Might do once more to ensure swimmers stay fresh. I think I should know either way this time next wk but cycles have been a little erratic since coming off pill ranging from 25-34 days do I guess will see ??

SoapSudBub · 17/10/2014 08:16

Witch got me this morning bang on time! Over to pregvember for me.

ohlordyplordy · 17/10/2014 08:13

Morning ladies, just wondering those of you who temp and have dc, when did you stop temping after your bfp?
Sorry af got you broody, sending a big hug and good luck for november x

EnglishGirlsReturned · 17/10/2014 08:09

To be fair I'm just relieved I'm not heading into another hideously long cycle. What will be will be.
Will keep my fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive Want

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 17/10/2014 08:03

Got to work certain af was in full flow but still just the coloured discharge. Not how I remember normal af starting! I remember just going straight into it. english at least if it is a bfn you can join in the fun with full vigour! Fx it will be your month this month though :)

EnglishGirlsReturned · 17/10/2014 07:50

You're not out yet want and dreaming. Until the bitch arrived you're not out.
Big old temp rise this morning - tww begins now I guess! BFP due the day before a hen do in Liverpool...

Boosk · 17/10/2014 07:29

Sorry want fx it's not AF.

Dreaming so sorry it was a bfn.

dozy this ttc lark brings out the crazy in all of us Confused

spinningirl10 · 17/10/2014 07:26

Morning Grin

Dreaming sorry you got a bfn especially after your dream.

Illiria MrsE's dh used to do that with the softcups so it might work.

Treacle, hope you're feeling better today.

Blueberry not long till the scan now then. I'd be the same good googling outcomes. Hoping it works for you.

Dozygirl · 17/10/2014 07:20

Illiria I asked my dp to do that last cycle when I had w positive opk and I was doing a nightshift so he didn't want to do it before I went to work so I asked him to leave it in Mr mooncup in the morning so we wouldn't miss the egg but he wouldn't :( he really thinks that I'm crazy. Sometimes I agree with him! I actually cried right at the end of dtd last night because I thought he wasn't gonna jiz but he had just finished and I'd not realised. I'm not even ovulating atm and it's the first time dtd this month so I prob didn't need to cry but I'm just panicking now and it really is a huge workout to get him to come so it makes me not enjoy it that much. I think I just overwhelmed myself with the tgought of wanting lots of sex while knowing how difficult it is. I would love to just do it Turkey baster style haha!! He thinks thatsoo unnatural tho.

I think I really am a freak. Who cries while having sex??!!!

want I'm sorry it looks like AF is coming. Enjoy some Wine tonight xx

Dreamingoutloud · 17/10/2014 07:14

Bfn here this morning, Af due tomorrow.
Bit gutted, had a very clear dream of it being a bfp, even woke up thinking I'd already tested as it felt so real.
Oh well.

Sorry wanttobe, until it's full Af don't count yourself out.
Sorry Af got you broody.

xBlueberry88x · 17/10/2014 07:13

spinning im ok scan is on Tuesday morning...I cant stop reading about clomid success rates its driving me nuts lol

illiria i know a few girls have done that

teenie hope your feel better today

want fx its not af on her way

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 17/10/2014 06:39

Think I'm out... On checking my cp this morning had yellowy pinky browny discharge on checking... Think this is the start of af :( just going to wait it out for her to take full force today. Nothing visible yet but assuming she is coming as jointer reason why would have brown tinted discharge at this time as am now 14dpo

Congrats all BFPs J

Commiserations to all AF and BFN inflicted. Wine, Cheese and Chocolate to you.

TMI alert, my DH is having morning performance issues. Fine normally but anytime we try in the morning he can’t finish. He is so not a morning person; forgetful, confused and cannot remember anything we have talked about till about an hour after waking. Actually fogot to pack tshirts today for his work trip.

I had got soft cups to try for AF and possibly after DTD but this morning when he had issues I asked him to take care of himself into softcup and then popped it in. Has anyone else done this or am I actually crazed? I got a positive OPK this evening as well

He went away this afternoon till Sunday so think will be too late for next try. Kinda gutted.
