Awwww no Hun sorry to hear that xx

Loki17 · 01/02/2016 19:46

AF has arrived today. It's cd1 for me once again.

Kellz92 · 01/02/2016 14:06

Gx I never even noticed dont worry haha!

Im hoping its a good sign as even though i wasnt trying for DD i remember feeling ill for 3 weeks before my BFP. AF was 5 days late by this point. But since i found out on the honeymoon i put the sickness down to Wedding until i had my BFP obviously lol. Im having mild cramps today but nothing major.

Really hoping this is my month! Hubby keeps saying he wishes we would just get pregnant bless him!!

Thanks Pulled Have you spoken to your GP? thats really horrible for you. :( Hope your dads okay! maybe the stress is mucking up your cycle? i hope that you get your BFP but that may be a factor

xx

Pulledapart2015 · 01/02/2016 13:12

Hopelass · 01/02/2016 07:41

Thanks cockles I think you're right. If we want to be in with a chance best do all we can! Fx for you!!

CocklesandMussels · 01/02/2016 07:20

Monday morning again, how did that happen? And CD24. I'm terrified...
hopelass I think you're right about calculating the time, but personally I reckon it's a risky strategy. If it were me, I reckon I'd be jumping on DH asap just to be sure. Then again 24 hours later. Maybe I'm just desperate though...
Welcome newbies and fx for everyone

Hopelass · 01/02/2016 07:14

Good luck Loki Thanks
Hello newbies and good luck on your ttc journey

Yet again I haven't read back yet , I promise I will and say hi to everyone. I've just got a quick question ..... Positive opk today on cd17 instead of the usual cd18-19 but DP is away working tonight! Could we leave dtd until tomorrow night or should I try and jump on him before he leaves at lunchtime?! I think I know the answer!
If I'm correct ov should happen 12-36 hours from opk and then the egg can live up to 12 hours so if we dtd in 36 hours (tomorrow night) we are still in with a chance?? Thanks in advance

Loki17 · 31/01/2016 21:01

Dh and I finally dtd yesterday. Once we got started it was easy to lose myself so wasn't as anxiety inducing as I was fearing. Poor dh. He has been so patient and understanding but has genuinely looked like he is walking on air today! Really hoping af shows up in the next week or so and I can start to track my cycles again. I still feel really wobbly about ttc. but now that we've dtd I feel less anxious. Thanks everyone Flowers

f1ddlesticks · 31/01/2016 20:38

Good luck Loki, wishing you all the best...

Welcome Writer, I remember you from pregnancy threads last time round (have NC since). My DD is 5 months older than your DS then... Hope your cycles sort themselves out quickly!

Hope AF goes quickly Jennie. I'm 38 so I know what you mean about age being a factor. I don't really like OPKs but I find temping really useful because you can tell once you actually have ovulated but others swear by the sticks. Whatever you feel most comfortable with!

AF hasn't shown up yet here. Had a temp rise this morning - I'm trying not to let it gets my hopes up after yesterday's BFN. Still only 12dpo though, and still getting these weird skipped heart beats which have only happened this month. Who knows, I'll find out soon enough I guess...

jennielm · 31/01/2016 00:06

Hi all,

I'm currently on cd5 of cycle 2 and AF still visiting. She better be gone by tomorrow!! Gonna speak to DH about OPK as I'm not strong enough to take months of disappointment based on guesses. Not to mention my age being a factor if any medical intervention was needed.

Fx for those still to test. Hugs to those with BFN for now. Baby dust to all.xx

Writerwannabe83 · 30/01/2016 21:40

Hello, can I join please.

DS is 22 months old and two days ago I had my Mirena out. I'm currently having the withdrawal bleed and once that has passed TTC will commence.

I have got OPKs all ready and waiting as since my Mirena went in my periods have been all over the place so wouldn't have a clue when ovulation was occurring.

Good luck to everyone on here Flowers

Loki17 · 30/01/2016 21:33

Thanks everyone. I'm ok. I feel like I really want to get pregnant again I'm just terrified. I've done an opk and it's negative. I'm hoping that now i know there's no chance of getting pregnant I can just get on with dtd.

Loki17 · 30/01/2016 21:30

Sock monster you are pregnant! All of my frer BFP'S looked like that! Congratulations x

CocklesandMussels · 30/01/2016 10:48

pulled mimi f1ddle Sorry for the BFNs, it's a gutting feeling isn't it.

loki the miscarriage association website is really good and they have a helpline too, I didn't call myself but I'm told it is very good. Just in case you didn't know about it xx I was the opposite to you, absolutely desperate to get going again, but I think it's different for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with waiting a while if that makes it easier for you. It's so hard when people minimise the distress caused. It's the loss of the future that I found most difficult - knowing that everything would now be different. But it does get better, I promise. Flowers. Take care xx

f1ddlesticks · 30/01/2016 10:13

Oh Pulled I'm sorry to hear that, how upsetting for you. When's AF due, do you know?

Hi Sockmonster that sounds encouraging - can you get another test today to check?

Sockmonster17 · 30/01/2016 09:42

Hello ladies, can I join?
I am really confused. I am 4 days late so tested this morning using a first response. The pregnancy line came up dark and clear straight away however the control line is very faint. You can barely see it. What does this mean? Do the lines ever come up the wrong way round? Does this mean the test is faulty? Really not sure whether this means I'm pregnant or not?!

Pulledapart2015 · 30/01/2016 09:18

morning all,
BFN here too Sad I'm feeling so so upset I think it's time for a break from all this until I get some answers from gynae.

Sorry no strength to say hello individually. hope everyone is doing ok xxx

Hopelass · 30/01/2016 09:17

Hey mimi still bfn? Fx still then!!
I haven't read through the last couple of days properly yet so I hope everyone is well; fx for all those in the 2ww and WineBrewChocolateCake for those the witch has caught - here's to the next month!

Also hoggle if you're reading I hope you are recovering and getting lots of support X
No news here cd15 and no positive opk yet. Seems to tend to be around cd18 or 19 for me so just waiting and watching and dtd just in case! Have a lovely Saturday everyone! X

f1ddlesticks · 30/01/2016 08:57

Sorry Loki, you did say - damn app, you can't see previous posts while replying!

f1ddlesticks · 30/01/2016 08:44

Oh Loki I can imagine... So tough to get started again. Sounds like a good idea to get some help if you can. Sorry, nosy question, but have you DTD at all since the MC? Wondering if it might help do do it on some days definitely not near ovulation so it's just about the two of you being together? And work up to DTD on the right days, IYKWIM?

Sorry about the BFN Mimi, depressing isn't it when you keep staring at that line willing the cross to appear! Bless your DD, we're well versed in that level of mess here too! Mine is now 'cooking' with herbs and spices from the kitchen - all orange curry type powders. It's going to go everywhere I'm sure but she likes using the handheld vac so she can clean it up after! Grin

Loki17 · 30/01/2016 08:27

Hi all, just popping I'm to say hello! Nothing to report because dh and I still haven't dtd. I'm starting to think that I might need to talk to someone. I've had too dates in my head where I've thought 'tonight's the night we get back in the saddle' and I just keep wimping out. I want a baby so desperately but I'm terrified of being pregnant again.

Mimilicious013 · 30/01/2016 08:07

A bfn for me too here!!
aaahh sweet that u have your dd cuddled up besides you.my dd has bcome a little menace tbh.u can find her with lotion all over her clothes,all my shoes can be taken out of the wardrobe.anything and everything she comes across she just has to make a mess.
