Awww sorry Dizzy. AF is a witch!!

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:29

Nah wotsits, I'm on cd33/15dpo but af due cd35 and I always start with brown cm two days before proper flow kicks in. The pattern is all too familiar I'm afraid!

wotsits1 · 05/03/2015 07:24

Sorry Dizzy! What dpo are you? Could it be implantation?

wotsits1 · 05/03/2015 07:23

Ugh Dojo hope your OK. AF is the epitome of evil. If you were showing quite a bit in the evening then maybe still count yesterday as cd1. If it had just been a little bit with today a proper bleed I would've said today... But if you had a proper bleed last night I'd say start with yesterday as cd1.

Rainy... Hope you're OK? TTC can be super stressful and totally demoralising. Best of British to you.

Well, Its 11dpo in the wotsit house and no af... Yet! Did hpt with fmu this morning but bfn. I'm just not feeling it this month either. Wish AF would just hurry the feck up then I can get started on the next cycle!

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:23

Ugh and in my annoyance it seems I can't type either!

Sorry to mamapo and rainy. We can get through this together girls Flowers x

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:21

Morning!

Woke up this morning and was pleased to see my temp was still up. Then I went out for and early run and gave just got back to find the arrival of brown cm. Bang on fucking cue Angry.

So it looks like I'm probably out for this month. Af will arrive on Saturday. Bint.

MaMaPo · 05/03/2015 07:20

Oh rainy, I'm sorry. AF got me too and it just sucks. I'm a bit worried because this time I had barely any hope. Good luck to you and you're welcome back any time.

Very glad I have a consultant appt in ten days. I need someone else to take charge of my fertility as I'm not cutting it.

loopylou1984 · 05/03/2015 07:10

Sorry rainy and dojo about af.

Dojo - I think of yesterday wasn't proper bleeding then you count today... That's what I've done anyway.

Rainy - sorry you're feeling so sad, I completely understand. We're having a relaxed month with no temping etc, but I find these forums a comfort so can't give them up too. Hope you feel better soon, remember it's partly the hormones making you feel like this. Xx

dojo123 · 05/03/2015 07:01

Morning

AF is being a bitch and has kept me awake most of the night even with painkillers.
Do I class this as CD1 or yesterday a CD1 as I was showing quote a bit yesterday evening but nothing during the day?

Rainy34 · 05/03/2015 06:57

Morning everyone, Af has got me good and proper in the night, i am not going to join any other buses, i just can't do this anymore, its affecting my state of mind, i need to step back and enjoy life and that is not happening at the moment , i will still pop in from time to time and keep my eye on you all, good luck and wishing all well

loopylou1984 · 05/03/2015 06:49

Morning All Smile

Wood pigeon congrats on the solid smiley! You'll have to stop testing now as that solid smiley will stay on the screen for 2 days.

Lucie - where did you find that information? I'm struggling to find anything useful. Xx

woodpigeon123 · 05/03/2015 06:25

I've finally got my non-flashing peak smiley! After 6 days of flashing.... Phew!

I think it says I am supposed to stop testing now?

And try to DTD today, tomorrow, and maybe a day after too do you think?

Mumof1sofar · 05/03/2015 06:10

Congrats mrscat!

Woolly we are using preseed for the first time this cycle & so far so good. I've been using it with the applicator but don't need v much of it at all. Fx for us all!

Thinking of you, purdey. Sorry for those af has got.

I'm just up with my little dd who has decided now is the time to get up! I am trying to convince her otherwise (she's only 10 months so doesn't quite understand lol).

Good luck to anyone testing this morning & hope everyone has a good daySmile

MaMaPo · 05/03/2015 01:58

Yep - anxious about the impending arrival of AF. Having a frankly awful day at work (changing deadlines means I'm under the pump) and so of course AF arrived in the middle of it. Haven't got time for lunch, let alone for wallowing.

Your situation sounds really shit Purdey. What do you think you can do about it?

Nomio230 · 05/03/2015 00:42

Sorry you are feeling so down at the minute, purds. It is shit when you get into that kind of state.

Do you have any hobbies that might help you relax? I realise I sound like a fifties housewife, but I find things like baking, crochet, etc really therapeutic.

PurdeyBirdie · 05/03/2015 00:08

mama thank you for being gracious. I don't know if it's the stress of ttc or not. I'm feeling generally unhappy, unsettled, unfulfilled and anxious lately. DH losing his job has been horrid and my foray into the world of work after eight years is scaring me.

Sorry for moaning. Do you know why you have felt anxious today?

MaMaPo · 04/03/2015 23:54

Hello all. Bonkers busy at work but wanted to hop on quickly.

Tessie, what line of work are you in? Feel free to ask away, by pm if you'd prefer.

Lucie, nice to see you. I'm glad things continue to progress for you. Keep us updated!

Purdey, sorry you've had a rubbish few days. I must admit I was taken aback by you unleashing on me but hey ho, ttc is fucking stressful and it manifests in lots of different ways. Thanks for the Flowers. And yes, I am a slight brainbox (ie nerd) but I love my job. I was born here in Australia, then moved to the UK in 2010. Worked there for three years then had my little girl, and we left when she was about 10 months old. I miss London and I love Melbourne - if I could live in both at once I would.

Congrats to the bfp s! And there is a disturbing spate of AFs too, they can all just fuck off.

I feel a bit nauseated today. Love to think it's a symptom but really I'm quite anxious which I think is the culprit.

AF due tomorrow.

adora1985 · 04/03/2015 23:52

I've tried conceive plus and preseed (I think the housekeeping nicked the CP when we were on holiday) and preseed is much better for me, it seems to last a lot longer.
CD13 today, but we can't try this month. Well, we can, but until I've had my op I'm basically infertile, so there's no chance of a BFP.
I've got to phone the clinic tomorrow to see what my consultant has decided on. My last scan was two weeks ago, and I was told to leave it a week or two and then contact the clinic of I'd not heard anything, so that's what I've done. No letter or phone calls, and we've had another wasted month now, and I don't know if I've been booked in for the op or not, so hope to get some info at least tomorrow.
Congrats to all with BFPs!

MrsGingerbread · 04/03/2015 23:42

ThePug I take 3 ferrous sulphate daily. I ease off between the times ofpotential implantion and af arrival as it gives my tummy a chance to sort itself out and I just prefer to. I don't think it's a problem either way.

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 23:28

Juney amazon lovely, think it was about £14.. Eeek! But I hardly use any! They seem to recommend to use so much so that you use it all in one cycle. it comes with nine applicators. but honestly mine lasts much longer, so I feel it's worth it. Def prefer it over conceive plus!

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 23:25

Juney great news re spermies!! Sure they will behave themselves on this journey!! Wink

juneybean · 04/03/2015 23:23

sparkly where do you get your preseed from? I might give it a whirl!

OP posts:
Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 23:18

Woolly I used preseed first three cycles and got a BFP on the third. Had an early mc and then went onto concieve plus as it was the easiest to come by but didn't like the consistency, felt it dried up really quick, so have switched back to preseed this month which I really much prefer. And it's Obvs going to bring me a BFP!! Wink I recommend it!

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 23:14

Purple glad scan went well. Sounds quite positive then Flowers

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 23:02

Dizzy good work on the eating today! Wink
