Hello to Margo, March and Littlelion [waves]

Sorry to hear that Trying... Enjoy your Chinese and wine Flowers

No update from me... Due to test next wed, no symptoms at all so far, preparing myself for disappointment but you never know x

Tryingtowait · 11/03/2016 18:54

Gl for Monday march

baby and mimi you should both join the April bus too, not much going on there ATM so hovering on this bus!

I'm having Chinese and wine tonight. Business resumes Monday with diet, no caffeine and no wine :(

Hate af week makes me want to argue with dp all the time and then don't get the make up sex lol

Marchmummy365 · 11/03/2016 17:00

Hey , tested again this mornin with CB digital n still not pregnant. But still no period Confused
Sorry to tryingtowait Ao disheartening isn't it.
I'm giving it the weekend then going to retest Monday so fingers crossed

babyinthacorner · 11/03/2016 15:56

Sorry to hear that trying Thanks have some wine. I got quite drunk (rather unintentionally) last weekend when AF showed. Have been abstaining from alcohol completely so was a good release!

I've now stopped drinking decaf coffee after giving up caffeine in November. Am surviving on rooibos and water and the grim herbal tea from the Chinese acupuncturist. Something's got to bloody work!!!

I've stopped temping this month and was going to avoid OPKs too, but I'm too scared to not do anything as fertile week approaches... I might try to do SMEP properly. Have been attempting it each month but never quite managing to follow it exactly.

Good luck all, I might also straddle the April bus as AF due 31st March...

Tryingtowait · 11/03/2016 15:45

Gonna start temping vaginally after af out the way. Seems yucky but oral temps were all over the place so hoping for more consistency. Also it might be because I was away and now af but not dtd for 2 weeks makes me want to rather than doing it as you have to you know?!

Also trying to chill more, been very chilled while on hols back at work on Monday and worried what stress I'll walk into.

Mimilicious013 · 11/03/2016 13:45

I'm on cd10 hun, so could be end March or early April .will have to ride both buses Wink more company. Any new tricks up your sleeve trying ?

Tryingtowait · 11/03/2016 11:13

Thanks mimi how are you doing? Are you still in for March or is it early April now? Haven't seen you about for a few days

And thanks lion and kitkat

Mimilicious013 · 11/03/2016 10:52

Sorry for af trying Flowers
Best of luck next cycle.

Fx for bfps to all poas soon

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/03/2016 08:33

Fx for April Trying! Sorry it wasn't to be this month.

Tested this morning and got bfn. I was stupid really as it's still a few days early and I didn't use an early response. Still, mentally preparing myself for another bfn on Monday - at least it'll give me another month to save some more money for mat leave!

KitKat1985 · 11/03/2016 08:28

Have you tested again today March?

Sorry to hear about AF Trying. Flowers Wishing you luck for the April bus. xx

Tryingtowait · 11/03/2016 08:05

Well af arrived last night so on the plus side know what's going on not being left in limbo anymore. FF is telling me based on this cycle being longer af due on my birthday in April! Hopefully I will get a nice present :) so onto the April bus, good luck to all those who are still in with a chance

BoBo90 · 10/03/2016 16:26

March - lots of people have a positive on an frer (first response) and then take a digital only for it to be negative. Blue dye tests and digitals seem to be a lot less sensitive so don;t be too disheartened if it was negative.
Take another frer with your first wee of the day as that will give you the best result! FX for you that that BFP get's stronger not fainter.

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/03/2016 16:02

I think if you rehydrated on Sunday the test on the Monday should have worked fine, excepting the caveat that it was still early. One of the reasons I'm holding out, despite every inch of me screeching I'm pregnant. Worth checking again though March all hope is not gone. Fx for you.

Marchmummy365 · 10/03/2016 14:42

I stopped on the Saturday. Hate the uncertainty. If I'd not have had that positive to begin with I'd be fine with it. These early tests have a lot to answer for as Iv read a lot about chemical pregnancies and knowing so early causes heartache as it happens so often

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/03/2016 14:36

Did you stop drinking on the Saturday or Sunday March? You can get false negatives but not false positives so I would wait a couple more days and test again if AF hasn't arrived. Really hope it's a false negative for you, but doesn't sound great if I'm honest as most HPTs are reliable from the day of your missed period.

Marchmummy365 · 10/03/2016 14:16

I'm new to this, turning to it as its so hard to discuss with others not in a simalar situation.
Been trying to conceive for 8months and after sticking to the rules for so long and no positive result I let my hair down with a good few drinks at the weekend. With Mother Nature being due on Tuesday I took a pregnancy test Monday to only get a positive result. Very strong at that too !
2 days later decided to take another to only get a very faint positive today I took a digital and it's a negative !Confused
Could I have been dehydrated from my weekend therefore having a stronger pregnancy level on my first test? To now the levels are diluted and not showing on a test. No period signs but could be imagining pregnancy ones.
Anyone else experienced anything simalar ??

Tryingtowait · 10/03/2016 12:06

How funny my ds birthday is the 23rd Nov :) could be an expensive time of year for you

Hope it's a sign for you fx. The reason I don't think I am this time is I remember not being able to put a bra on my boobs were so painful and no boob soreness at all ATM. But then my sister has just had a dd and had a ds the first time and said both pregnancies were very different so I guess you never know.

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/03/2016 11:45

Haha just did a due date calculator and it's coming up as my ds's birthday - 21st Nov! I OV'd from my left ovary that time too! Grin

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/03/2016 11:43

That sounds really tough Trying. I remember being tricked by my body into thinking I had implantation bleeding because I used to spot before my period. Sometimes it lasted days. Month after month I was so disappointed. I eventually went onto agnus castus and conceived within a couple of months. I've gone back on it this time (mostly due to PMT though) so part of me just hopes that the symptoms aren't my body readjusting to normalised progesterone levels due to the AC. I'm feeling queasy again today in a way I haven't done since the early days of my previous pregnancy (before I knew I was pregnant) - not being sick, but feeling nauseous in more of a queasy way. It only lasted a week with ds, but I remember the feeling. And the tiredness!

Tryingtowait · 10/03/2016 10:37

Cd36 here still nothing but cramps. Am home now to chill for a few days before going back to work.

Have ordered some FR from Amazon to arrive tomorrow. Im going to take one and if it's bfn im going to go to the gp to hopefully get provera and start again! As before ds I went 6 months no af so don't want to wait that long to ovulate! Even though the past few months it had been 29days body is deciding to be mean it seems!

little Hey, my ds is 3 and as above used to go 6 months no af due to pcos then after my son I had the depo and literally bled for a year... No fun! Now that's out my system i had been going 29 days now I'm on cd 36 and no af and no bfp! I was told after ds that having children can 'reset' your body. Gl to you

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/03/2016 08:46

Hi all. 9dpo here, symptoms from pretty much 1dpo: fatigue, stretches, twinges and pulls on left side, bloating, weird and incredibly vivid dreams every night, extreme hunger, sore nipples, slight nausea yesterday. Trying to keep a cool head as only came off pill in Dec, I'm 37 years old and ds is 46, plus I have pcos, so we'll aware that my body is probably tricking me. But I've had regular 28 day cycles since Dec, which was unheard of when I was ttc ds (now 5). Cycles were anything from 29 to 40 days then so maybe my body 'reset' itself after having ds? Anyway, will find out next week I suppose!

underrugsswept · 10/03/2016 08:29

Hi there. I sometimes spot for 2/3 days before AF and have cycles of 30/31 usually but occasionally 35/36. My last one was 36 but I think I had a chemical which delayed things.

Margo5 · 10/03/2016 08:10

Hi ladies - Congratulations and commiserations to those of you it's relevant to, there's been a lot of positives this month Smile
Can I hop on the bus as I need some advice:

TTC: 1
CYCLE:7
Test date: 8 March (CD 35) negative but it was evening and I'd drunk a lot of water!
CURRENT CD: 37 (I average around 35)
OVULATED CD: 22 (currently 15 days past OV)

As of tomorrow I have been spotting for almost a week, at first I thought it was implantation bleeding but now not so sure. Anyone had similar and also wondered if it's worth visiting the doctors about it?

Still holding on for that BFP! (Now I've posted on here, I bet AF arrives today!)

Thanks ladies xx

Oh no sorry to hear that giraffe, that's rubbish Sad

Fingers crossed for both of us, BoBo. I hate this waiting, it's exhausting! x

BoBo90 · 09/03/2016 22:15
