Pregoween is getting nearer, come on bfp's clearer and clearer!

Nutella - can't believe you dropped your hpt down the toilet! Mind you that's probably preferable to losing it in Costa Coffee (as a certain member of this thread managed to do a little while ago!)

Glad your midwife appointment went well Sunbathing. Fx for your scan.

Good luck hiding your pregnancy from your Mother MrsE - hope the baggy jumpers work.

Sounds promising Teenie - we could really do with some more BFPs on this thread.

CD27 of my WTF cycle at this end, and if my CBFM was to be believed, AF should be here today. I'm really hoping she turns up soon, but I'm slightly concerned that this cycle was anovulatory and destined to be very long

Genni, you and be both with the exercise! I've eased right off and been eating more so I feel a bit rubbish! Back on it from tomorrow

Terry first time I took:
100mg days 1-2
150mg days 3-4
200mg day 5

Cycle2:
100mg day 1
150mg days 2/3/4
200mg day 5

Not really much difference there!

Morning ladies!

Firstly to all of those who have had a crappy few days on the bus. Please use the weekend to do something that makes you happy and spoil yourselves. You all deserve it so much!

MrsE your description of the 8 restaurants and your latest disguises really made me lol this morning. I am so sorry to hear you are still in pain though... Really hope your scan gives you a bit more insight to what's going on in there.

Sunbathing how did your scan go?

CD31 here (of a 28 day cycle). Still cramping and crotch watch has reached new levels... Am going into town this evening to buy some tests for Saturday morning, Superdrug BOGOF here I come!

Spinning that is early maybe put the soy off as late as possible?

Oh dear! Nutella!

spinning that's a short cycle! mind you, you still had a decent LP didn't you. And means you get more chances too.

I've left a message for the acupuncture lady. hoping she calls me soon.
I'm in two minds whether to take soy or not. I think I'll do some reading up on the train home but haven't got long really to decide if you start taking it cd2/3. Am also going to order some more ic opks tonight and also order some softcups. Oh and manuka honey. I'm also upping my exervise- I've reduced it due to ttc but I feel fat and bleugh now so think I'm better of exercising!

Spinning don't think you answered earlier but I was wondering what dose of soy you took?

Hmmm maybe I shouldn't take the soy?!
KITTY are you lurking, what do you think?

Oops Nutella

7weeks MrsE, that's fab, not long to wait for scan then!

Well af has arrived super early on cd21!!! I think maybe I'll take the soy on cd4 and see what that does. I know short cycles are not good. Not sure soy is good for me as I actually ov'd on day4 of taking it. Will see what happens this cycle and also speak to the Accupuncture lady about it when I see her.

Lol nutella that's a good way of stopping yourself testing too early. I think it's best to wait till after AF is due. So few ppl seem to get a positive pre AF.

AF is a cruel cruel witch. Feeling sad for all of u that can feel it coming or it has arrived.

I'm 7 weeks on Saturday. Still so early on. But already looked it up and they don't recommend before 8 weeks. I had scans at 4-5 weeks last time and it was just more worrying than comforting. So just another week to go and hopefully we can see what's what.

Lol at the disguise it's typical that when you want something big and baggy you can't find it.
Sorry to hear you're still in pain, doesn't sound like that will improve anytime soon, how many weeks are you now? I think 8 weeks is a good time for an early scan, I'd be paying for one at that stage to.

I just dropped my last internet cheapie in the toilet
I'm 10 dpo. AF due tomorrow.
sob sob.
I best go get a FRER for tomorrow!!
eeek

I bought 3 baggy jumpers yesterday. They are all ridiculously stupid. One is ok but the arms are too short, one is long swing style which actually accentuates my bump, and the other was more like a crop top exposing bump underneath. The disguise isn't going well

It could be im just full of water. Or it might be to do with my stomach as opposed to my uterus. I'm off all regular meds so it's very painful. Could be my stomach problems. Still waiting for a scan of stomach.

My gp was fairly useless. I asked about my size. She didn't think that was reason enough for a scan, just that each pregnancy was different. Anyway it's only £69 so a small price to see what's going on and can have it at a convenient time.

MrsE, ahh it sounds tough going! 8 restaurants!! At least dh is sympathetic now. Would the nhs not scan you given your size? I wonder if it's twins/ triplets
Happy birthday to your ds, hope he enjoys his day. You'll have to wear a baggy jumper.

Well tbh I'm still feeling shit. Dh was lovely yesterday, walked me in and out of 7 restaurants for lunch yesterday, I finally settled on restaurant 8. He took it all in good spirits. I'm barely eating. Think we are going to pay for an early scan at 8 wks. Just to see why I'm so huge. A lady asked me In a shop yesterday how far along I was, I had to lie, I'm soooo fat.

My mother is descending later with bday cake as its my eldests birthday. Ds is 16 today just can't believe it. Hoping she doesn't notice how shit I look. She has a sixth sense about me being pregnant but hoping her radar is focused on ds today. I'm not ready to tell her.

MrsE, from what I read taking it on day 3 should help make it a better egg. It's a good point though to take it on cd4/5. To be honest dp and I are away for a week from nov 20th and if I take them as I've done this cycle and I ov early it would prob mean I could get af out of the way before hols

How are you feeling now?

Sorry your temps have dropped Spinning and Genni. How utterly rubbish.

Choccy - sorry you're having to go through this. Keeping everything crossed for you and your little bean. Enormous hugs

Big congrats flower

So sorry for all the bfns ladies, yesterday was a bit of a low by all accounts It's so cruel that so many of you - me included - had such amazing symptoms of pg this month and then darn AF arrived anyway. Hate it!

choccy, I know I can't say anything that makes all this better for you because the fear takes over every fibre of your being. I just hope and pray that it does all work out for you and you get to introduce your ds to his brother or sister soon xxx

lucie, I absolutely love that from your acupuncturist. My preggo yoga teacher used to say that worries are prayers for something to go wrong and that kind of tallies with what your lady is saying re positivity and affirming that it will all work out in the end.

choccy hugs and

Morning all.

My temp has dropped right down to just below the cover line. I got woken up by cramps this morning too so guessing AF will be here today/tomorrow. This sucks. I'm away with work, back home this evening and I don't know how I'm going to tell DH if AF does come. He's going to be so disappointed and dejected, we went to such lengths this month and last to DtD as much as possible.
I'm glad I didn't waste a frer now!

To all who have AF or think she's looming. Ttc is just rubbish sometimes.

Sorry to see more bad news this morning. Spinning have you considered starting your soy later in the month? Instead if cd2 or 3, perhaps day6. Taking it later is supposed to strengthen the egg from what i remember kitty's info stated. As you seem to ov early anyway, it might be a thought to start later in the month. My problem was I oved later and later. So taking it early worked for me.

Choccy, sending hugs your way, thinking of you and really hoping it's going to be ok
