Morning ladies, looks like I'm out. So I caved and poas, waited and got a bfn. THEN I wiped; pink on the paper. Stupid waste of a test! Angry

Stupid body, had sore boobs for far longer than normal and Af has been hiding. Grr...

Fx for everyone waiting to test. How is your temp this morning spinning?

BFP BFP rooting for the remaining ladies on the bus with a chance xxxx

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 22:54

Thanks Dozy, I believe it is what you think and it's actually quite applicable in terms of not knowing what the feck ;-) is happening with your cycle after mc. :(
I am so happy to have got the bfp if only to avoid what I think a bfn would have felt like if that makes sense!

Oh it's that time, goodnight girls xx

Dozygirl · 23/10/2014 22:41

Oops I not u want. Why are the i and u so close together haha. It always goes the wrong way round.

Dozygirl · 23/10/2014 22:40

want laughed my head of at the pisspot convo. It was bad enough when u left an opk out on the side and forgot to throw it away.

furtive my thoughts are with u. Good luck on your journey and hope the waiting isn't too long to get it started.

Mzzzf that sounds like the perfect exercise to me!

flower thanks for the stats. That's brilliant news to get a BFP in the wtf cycle (does that mean what I think it means? I've never understood that acronym). Fx for a sticky bean this time round.

Lovemylittlebear · 23/10/2014 22:23

Furtivefeline - sorry to read your post. Take a look at foresight preconception care. I know a few people that have used them and we did after my ectopic pregnancy. They have some research behind them too which looks positive. Best of luck xx

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 22:23

Oh Mzzzf a slip thereShock I just had a vision of a baby being bicep curled lol oooh spooky pregoween x

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 22:21

Haha that's the best way to describe my appetite Broody, I will try my very best to enjoy x

Mzzzf bicep curling a twin Grin long may that last x

Thank you Sunbathing x I hope we can all somehow go through this together x

Lovemylittlebear · 23/10/2014 22:17

Hi everyone

Hope you don't mind me gate crashing please. I had an ectopic in the summer. Been trying since and just got my bfp. Period started on 2october but I think I ovulated on day 5 as been charting but my chart said I either ovulated in day 5 or day 18 (positive opks on both). I think I must have ovulated early as surely I would nt get a positive 5days post ovulation. Trying to work it out as will want an early scan to check it is a good pregnancy this time. Thanks for any advice xx

broodylicious · 23/10/2014 22:05

Aaah flower, beige food = friend of the pregnant. I must've doubled walkers ready salted profits alone in 2011 when I was pg with dd! That and orange calippo. You enjoy it!!

Boosk · 23/10/2014 21:57

Oh and spinning I so hope it's implantation dip and spotting. You so deserve it.

We are the opposite though. I always get spotting for a couple of days before af so it's weird to have had nothing yet. But not getting my hopes up yet. Thanks Thanks

Oh my goodness ladies, you are so so lovely. Thank you. Thanks Thanks Thanks

mzzzf your squeaky tampon and bicep curls made me laugh. Fx for a squeaker!

mzzzf · 23/10/2014 21:39

Keeping fingers crossed for you Boosk!

I'm not in full flow yet but feel like it might come overnight so the trusty tampons have been deployed, obviously I hope I'm wrong though! Would prefer a 'squeaky tampon' and a BFP over AF any day Grin

If it is AF though, I'm going through myself back into exercising. I'm going to be glowing buckets!! But for the moment I'm biceps curling a twix to my face! Grin

Treaclepie19 · 23/10/2014 21:13

Still have my fingers crossed for you ladies :)

Good for you Boosk. I feel that it's best not to talk or think about it at this point for fear of jinking! Blush Mad I know however I am so rooting for you x

spinningirl10 · 23/10/2014 21:05

Ooh Boosk, fx af doesn't arrive, we need some good news on this busGrin

I'm ok thanks, spotting stopped. If I wasn't temping I would definitely have thought it was an implantation bleed......not that I've had one before but I never spot before af. Anyway I'm quite chilled out about it and I have dairy milk whole nutGrin

Boosk · 23/10/2014 20:18

Thank you flower, yep I'm hanging in there for now. Given up symptom spotting and actually feeling much more relaxed about the whole thing. No sign of af yet and today is CD28. Cycles vary 26-29 days though. I'll test again Saturday if nothing happens. That would be CD30 so would be 1 day late even for a long cycle.

furtive so sorry to hear about your test results. icsi sounds like it might be the way forward for. All the very best to you and dh x

spinning how are you doing now?

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 20:17

Hey Sunbathing
My feelings are a mixture of excitement and dread! Which I know is to be expected.
Symptom wise I am absolutely ravenous and pretty tired. Although it could just be my lifestyle. My tummy did turn at fried food and seems to be craving healthy or bland stuff like soft plain noodles, baked potato etc I suppose that is a good thing.

I had cramps yesterday but thankfully none now :)
Like you, if all goes well I will go for an early scan for reassurance I think.

X

furtivefeline · 23/10/2014 20:08

Thanks for all the advice. I feel so upset and hopeless right now but hopefully ICSI may be an option for us. Thanks again and good luck to you all Thanks

Enormous hugs Furtive. As English rightly says, knowledge is power, even if it doesn't feel like that right now. Don't give up hope, you WILL get there. I'm also a huge acupuncture fan, so would definitely recommend investigating this alongside any medical assistance if you haven't done so already.

Hope AF hasn't arrived Mzzzf.

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 19:53

Oh dear lord
I am glad I never got on here yesterday. So damn sad.

I really hope you are all still in Katy,spinning Genni, boosk x and everything is crossed for all who are still to test English you too x

Furtive I an sorry yous have received such crap results. X

Nutella you made me lol amongst the adversary x thank you x

Cariad fx that Af hurries, typical when she's she doesn't appear!!!

Sunbathing, hugs to you and bean x

Thank you for the sticky thoughts whit, I hope your feeling better x and good luck finding your new pee pot want :) I think I'm going to get ds one for up in the loft Hmm

Hugs Broody, I know I had something to say to you but can't scroll back on phn! thanks for your message xx

Good luck this cycle angelaham x

I know I will have forgotten someone Confused

Personally I'm blaming the position of the stars...

Here's to positive thoughts for future and loads of bfps in Pregtober / Pregvember. It sounds like everyone is getting to grips with cycles, soy, temping etc x

I just bought a digital thermometer so maybe the law if sod intervened there.

Gosh I am sending massive Hugs to you all x onwards and upwards, chin up, shoulders back and get this witch to pot...... .. .xxx

spinningirl10 · 23/10/2014 19:49

Whitwoo, good luck with your test results tomorrow.

Furtive, sorry to hear you're test results aren't what you wanted to hear. I think you've had some good advice here. I really hope you get the help you need and get your sticky bfp soonThanks

English, ahh how sweet of your Aunt.

lucieloos · 23/10/2014 19:41

Sorry to hear that furtive, we are also faced with low sperm motility so I know how it feels to get results like that. There is lots than can be done though. Get dh on a good multivitamin and 1000mg of vitamin C, zinc and selenium. Sperm count can be improved as can low progesterone. Don't give up hope. I am having acupuncture and she has also recommended it for DH too so that could be an option for you too. Also don't rely on just the one semen analysis. So many factors can affect the results, they always recommend getting a retest to confirm.

My consultant has recommend icsi for dh and I should we not have any luck by next year.

Big hugs to you Thanks
