The March Bus is rolling through Spunkland stopping for BFPs only!

Fx genni and congrats to mrscat! I've missed such a lot of chat!!

AF due today for me, I am obsessively checking my knickers and no sign yet. I feel a bit crampy, though. I am trying really hard not to get over-excited and think that AF is late! I'm sure it's about to start, but would be so happy if it didn't. Looking forward to the POAS party!

Wotsit Don't think my GCSE Biology and A Level Physics covered that but I do love problem solving so... Give me a week! , maybe not!

However I'm sure my BIL would try to come up with something if he could (He is a bit of a genius and works within medical technology and patenting) My sis (his wife) is about to start IVF so he also has an interest in the area already!

If only...

Awww Genni, I'm super excited! Don't doubt your negative after the mc. I'm sending super positive sticky vibes your way and here to hand hold. Definitely get to the docs tomorrow and ask for bloods, it will help you feel calmer. Oh and Congratulations

Genni FX that it is a true BFP. I really hope it is, the bean is a sticky one and you and your DH have an uneventful pregnancy.

sammylou I'm sorry you're feeling down. So many people underestimate how hard TTC is. You wait so long to be "ready", being careful and using protection and then it turns out it's not as simple as unprotected sex. You can't even get testing done until you've been trying in vain for a year (depending on your age) and by then you've wasted a year!

I was thinking the other day how crazy it is. Us women here checking our temps, tracking, OPK's, finding the window and our men could have a low sperm count and we won't know without testing (and testing that requires you to do something usually intensely private, sometimes in a room where many before you have done it. Not exactly a sexy thought).

As for planning, I did initially think I didn't want a December baby for one main reason, I would be due (no joke, exact date if I OV when expected) exactly on my evil sister's bday. I know dates don't matter to some people but I would hold that baby in just so it didn't have the same date. SIL's both have bday's in December as well. So it's a small window! Christmas baby would be fine compared to that date. Maybe I could go early and hit my DH's, or his dad's bday (a day apart)... December will be a fun month if we catch this month!! :D Oh and did I mention my AF would be due on my MIL and mother's bday (which are a day apart but due to time difference mean same day for part of the day!)

Dojo.... you know owt about biology or technology so we can create such an invention??

genni... I had the same after a mmc. I couldn't believe my positive but she's 8 now!!! if you've had a bfn in the past then these are new hormones. congrats!!!

Congrats Genni, fx this is a sticky bean!

Genni, fingers tightly crossed for you Xx

Wotsit I was having a similar conversation with my DH yesterday about having a test at each stage... as soon as you've ovulated, that the egg has fertilised and when it's safely implanted so you don't have to go through the stress of the 2WW symptom spotting like a woman possessed!

Ooh Genni - here to hand hold. I agree with mummy, if you had a BFN on a frer post MC then surely this must be a brand new (hopefully very sticky) BFP! I really hope you can get in to see your GP tomorrow.

It all sounds good Genni and if you've already had a negative I can't see how it's related to that. Sounds like you are pregnant!!

Sorry x posts. I know it is hard but try to stay positive and enjoy your pregnancy

Genni I think if you have had a BFN post-mc then this is a true positive. Congratulations, how many dpo are you?

Thanks for replying lucie

I'm 12dpo, AF due on Saturday. I think I'll have to try to go to the doctors tomorrow/Monday and get a referral to the EPU for blood tests to see if my levels are rising. It's the only thing I can think to do to check if this is real.

Oh wow genni!!! I don't know what to tell you but I really have my fingers crossed for you. When is af due and how many dpo are you?

F* ladies. Sorry to be so me, me, me, me. BUT....

I've just done a frer (working from home today so wandered to the chemist, not sure what came over me) and it's come up as positive.

I'm terrified. I don't know whether to believe it. I'm scared it's picking up HCG from my MC or something and not a true BFP. I don't know what to do - shall I believe it or not? I did do a frer post MC and it came up as a BFN and the EPU told me it was fine to try once I got my BfN. But now wondering if I've made a mistake.

Sorry for the rambling post, I'm sitting here shaking. I can't tell DH as I don't want to get his hopes up and I've got no one else to tell. HELP! Think I just need some hand holding please.

Juney I’m glad you have ordered more sperm, I was worried about your safety with plan C! Sorry it costs you money though.

MrsCatMad Congratulations!! And good luck Glittery to test again.

Sorry about AF dojo, Wooly, MaMaPo, Dizzy

Good luck with your treatment abroad Lucie

Purple I am glad the scan went well. Adora Sorry if you have already said but what is your op for? To improve fertility?

Rainy Sorry you are feeling so rubbish and getting off thebus, I hope you will continue to ttc but without the stress of all the monitoring.

Night I only see wet and ewcm by looking for it. But get creamy in my pants.

Purdey I know we aren’t speaking about it anymore but I would recommend pushing your sexy GP for a CBT referral or some to get some support or a referral to a talking therapy support group – not necessarily mindfulness and Juney’s suggestion of using the third sector is great too, there are some brilliant organisations out there to help. You are wonderful and we all love you. I don’t think anyone warns you to the fact that you may not want to be stuck with your little bundle of joy constantly and can leave us feeling very unfulfilled, having a job helped me hugely in having an identity other than “Mum”. I hope you find some joy soon, we all adore you.

Still no AF here but PMT has disappeared which is a relief. Woke with a horrible cold but feeling more like myself. Temp was high this morning but I imagine that is down to a few glasses of wine yesterday and the cold. CD27 and think latest I oved must be CD13, my LP is usually 13-14 days and would be surprised if the Maca changed it...

Genni, snap, I poa ic last night but was definitely BFN. I had a dream that I got my BFP but by the time I went to show DH it had vanished.

Spinning, looking forward to your pic. I would love to live near water. My home town is by the sea and I really miss having it on my doorstep.

Rainy, sorry to hear AF arrived ttc truly sucks. I really hope your BFP is just around the corner.

Heir... I'd ask them about cm. No harm in asking. My doc must hate me. I only ever go when I've stocked up a few things to ask him about!!!

I feel the same this month. We dtd 11 times durin my fertile window (over 6 days) but I just dont feel it. 11dpo today and a bfn on an ic this morning. Free kitkats sounds a fab way to cheer up though!!

I need to stop buying ics. They stress me out! Even the thought if having one in the cupboard stresses me out and makes me want to test... and then I spend more time than is acceptable straining to find a line. Any line. Even the faintest inkling of a line.

Do you know what else I hate? Symptom spotting. I cant remember what I felt like before AF so everything is a symptom! So damned annoying.

Seriously... its 2015. Surely there is something out there that can give you a definitive 'Pregnant' or 'Not pregnant' from, like, 1dpo! Or even a.. 'your egg has morphed into a blastocyst' or 'your egg has not been fertilised this time' result immediately.

I'm taking this idea to Dragons Den. I'll make my fortune!

Purdey that was me worried about bringing up ewcm at an unrelated GP appointment - will try and pluck up the courage though!

After yesterday's optimism I am feeling rather flat, despite this cycle having dtd in double figures at what I think is the right time. Just don't feel hopeful for some reason. I want to feel different, some sort of symptom, but nothing. Consoling myself with free kitkats at work...

spinning I'm a fair weather runner too!

wotsits if I have time I run to the park but if I'm short of time i have been know to drive there and then run- I know what you mean though I often feel like it defeats the purpose too.

No there's definitely no line now. keep fishing it out of the bin and staring at it under bright light I'm glad I'm not the only one who does these stupid things though! This is why I hate ics - a frer is pretty conclusive either way IME unlike these stupid things!
