Oh no plum! I know how you feel! Baby bombs left right and centre for me too! New girl at work just posted her 3 month scan on FB and I didn't even realise she had a boyfriend! People just seem to find it so easy! But I think the fact so many ppl are getting pg gives me more hope!
Hang in there brooke, must feel like forever waiting to see what's happening! Being in limbo must be awful! I keep thinking about you x
Night- fab news re. Adoption! Will u still apply if u get BFP this month?
Hope everyone else is well! Another bank holiday weekend for more BFP!!! What's everyone doing? I hope it's sunny! I've got DSil and DBil visiting which will be nice!

Why is everyone pregnant? sobs I am so pleased for people on these threads who announced today but oh god it is making me utterly miserable today. Also had two Real life baby announcements today to add to the five here.
Sorry, I am being terribly selfish and all grabs self by shoulders and shakes some sense into me
Doesn't help that I got almost no work done today. I should just fire myself right?
What's for dinner everyone? I'm planning on cream of despair soup with crouton de self indulgence.
Hmm

DizzyMerry · 22/05/2015 11:48

Sorry you're still going through this brooke.

Carlton I haven't used ovia but I agree you should continue to dtd with ewcm present as that's a sign you're still fertile.

I had a flashing smiley yesterday and the day before but decided to stick to dtd eod until the second smiley shows up and then we will dtd everyday. So dtd last night and will again tonight. DD has been playing up and we've also been really busy with work so no morning sex either. Will do the opk later on and hope it's a solid smiley so we can relax.

Carltonlives · 22/05/2015 10:43

Morning guys! Hope everyone is well?

Oh brooke I'm sorry to hear you are still in pain. Did you manage to have a chat with your dh? I hope so

pulpi I don't think I would pack tests. That way you a) can't be tempted to test early, b) can enjoy your entire holiday without thinking of ttc and c) when you get home and have the holiday blues you can pee on the stick and cheer yourself up with a nice strong BFP!! One born every minute is scary, but when it's your turn remember this: Women giving birth cannot see up their own vag, so you will have a slightly better view than on one born every minute Smile

So, I updated ovia last night with my dtd and ewcm, and it tells me it's detected a change in my prediction and now thinks my fertile window is over!! Wtf!! How does it calculate this? I had more ewcm this morning so put that in but it's sticking to its guns, I'm no longer fertile! I don't get it. I know I know, it would be clearer if I temped or opk'd but I just wanted it to be no pressure on the first month at least Sad
I've decided to carry on dtd anyway cos I don't believe it haha

Also, dh has just found out he's going away for 10 days next month. If we are successful this month I will be early days pg on my own for that entire time with a toddler. Bricking it now

autonomousplum · 22/05/2015 09:12

Flowers oh broo! Sad

Brooke113 · 22/05/2015 09:09

Thanks ladies, tbh I have no idea what's going on with my body, I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore, my boobs which were sooo sensitive, are feeling normal again :( and putting that with the line getting fainter, I'm just waiting for Af really. I don't "feel" pregnant anymore and these cramps are driving me mad.

nightandthelight · 22/05/2015 08:51

Oh Brooke I am so sorry that everything is so much in the air for you :( Have you told DH?

autonomousplum · 22/05/2015 08:20

Aa-aah yes. Call back. The favorite of medical practitioners. I'm sure however that it will be fine broo!

Brooke113 · 22/05/2015 08:05

Morning ladies :) will catch up once I've done school drop off. Have done another test this morning and it was fainter :( cramps are still intermittent. I had a telephone apt with a doctor who basically just said it's still early days and I could still in theory start AF any day now still. But if the cramps get any worse, call back Hmm going to call them next week, once I've passed the 5 week mark and try beg them for an early reassurance scan. Xxx

autonomousplum · 22/05/2015 07:59

Morning. I have no confirmation of ov, and my temps are still low. I'm posting the chart anyway. Last cycle I had a huge temp spike on day of +opk. I accidentally took two measurements in the day of +opk this month (don't ask) and for various reasons chose the lower one. If I enter the higher one ff suggests ov on the day of the +opk this cycle too, even though the temp shift is so minimal. Any thoughts? I'm going to xpost in bumsnet too as purdie there knows a lot about charts.
Feeling a bit miserable. Bah. Grin

loopylou1984 · 22/05/2015 07:01

Hope Brooke is ok. Xx

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 22:37

Me too birchy, hope she's getting some rest and hopefully we will hear from her tomorrow.

Grin I like the idea of a "oops" annoucement kleine hope you get to do that soon, I'd love to do that at my job oops see you later guys!! But think they'd see it coming sadly so it wouldn't have the same impact

KleineDracheKokosnuss · 21/05/2015 22:15

I can't really risk oversharing 'cos I'm only 4 months into a new job, so if I do manage to get pregnant it will look better if I say 'oops'. Grin

I'm acutely conscious of where I am in my cycle though...

birchygoo · 21/05/2015 22:07

I was hoping brooke would have been on tonight - I hope she has seen her GP and we are not hearing from her as everything is hunky dory

Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 21:53

Yea birchy it's not just me with the random overshare impulses!

zippy!! You've found your period! Where was it hiding?! Do you know when you will ovulate now?

Been thinking of brooke too, hope she's ok

pulpi · 21/05/2015 21:51

Woohoo Birchy!

birchygoo · 21/05/2015 21:23

I feel like I have achieved something!! HAHA last time I seen it was in Feb but we missed the boat then

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 21:16

Yay for ewcm Grin

birchygoo · 21/05/2015 21:00

I was just txting a friend and nearly put I found EWCM today woohoo - then caught myself on as she would have no idea what I am talking about lol - so I thought I would just tell you lot!

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 20:11

Glad your back zippy I've been thinking about you, I'm glad you have an answer now, it must have been horrible waiting all that time.

Has anyone heard from brooke today? Hope she's ok.

Ahh I see birchy you sound like me, always running late oops, although seem to get my temps in only coz its a new thing at the moment I think!

birchygoo · 21/05/2015 19:59

southy i think it is where I missed a reading - I've been feeling really ill recently - very tired, dodgy stomach and dizzy :-( so one morning I was so late for work I didnt even have time to take temp lol (thats how late I was!) Mine almost looks like an EGC - at least I know im alive!
You are really not getting much sleep either! I think that must also have an impact.

zippy Aunt Flo went on holidays for a month! I have heard of that before but how blooming annoying!! I don't think you should let her visit again hehe

pulpi enjoy your holiday! try and put it to the back of your head! I haven't watched one born every minute since I decided TTC - I'm terrified, I'm so bad with pain. So I prefer to think its not actually gonna happen. i'll worry about how to get it out once I get it in

auto can't wait to see your chart! When are you due to Ovu do you think?

ZippyBoo · 21/05/2015 19:42

I thought I'd drop in. AF finally showed up a month late. Just completely missed last month for no apparent reason. Here's to more deed doing Grin

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 19:38

Oh no that's not good birchy that's not much sleep. Last night was horrific, I was in bed about 11:45 then awake again by 12:30 needing the loo then awake again at twenty to four needing the loo again... Seriously?! I never need the loo like this, maybe it's psychological. What does the dotted line on your graph mean?

Looking forward to seeing your chart too auto Grin

Rachelc82 · 21/05/2015 19:18
