Thanks Niks... Still nothing happening AF wise, despite BFN. Do you ladies think it'd be worth retesting if still nothing on Monday? Or a pointless waste of 3minutes and more £?

Wifey1990 · 16/07/2016 09:30

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm feeling a lot less sore I should ovulate next week so gonna wait until then x

Niks2026 · 16/07/2016 08:01

It's so hard to be patient and relaxed when you've been trying a long time and have gone through a mc. I tested yesterday (gave in) and this morning and got 2 definite bfn. I really hope next cycle it happens for you little.
Hi wifey. Sounds like you've gone through a difficult time to fall pregnant. I hope the new procedure brings you luck. I'm not a dr but I would imagine your good to go as soon as you feel well enough. If you know your ovulation dates though I'd maybe wait til closer to the time. But I've seen on another thread that you don't want DH little guys to be 'older' you want fresh, so maybe he could 'help himself' before that window so that when you do dtd its fresh healthy sperm. Fingers crossed for you.

Hello, this post seems very active so in hoping to get some ideas, yesterday I had both of tubes reopend. The doc said he made a slit in each tube and the dye run through. My ovulation date is between 19-25th but I am not sure when I can have sex. I'm still in a lot of pain, would the turkey Bastor theory work. I have been ttc for over 3 years? Any suggestions ideas? Good luck to all you lovely ladies

LittleSparkes · 15/07/2016 15:30

Been trying since the new year. I did to begin with - feel pregnant the first month but miscarried in Feb.
Tried then to take a more relaxed approach - just doing ovulation tests etc but haven't had a positive since.
I'm 28 so I'm still young, just scared that my past will have an adverse effect.
Sad

Niks2026 · 15/07/2016 15:24

Little So sorry to here AF arrived. How long have you been ttc? Have you tried tracking ovulation and body temps etc?

LittleSparkes · 15/07/2016 13:32

Niks come 11am it was full on AF, cramping so bad now Sad. I've started to think now that it will never happen for me.

Niks2026 · 15/07/2016 12:15

Aw little I'm so sorry to hear that. I had spotting the other day and now absolutely nothing. Your not out until AF shows herself! I really hope you're ok. Big hugs same for you cold, your not out yet.

coldofhands · 15/07/2016 09:18

Good luck to everyone still holding on in there. I tested yesterday CD28 and got a big fat negative. No AF yet, but think that's me out for this month.

Dammit.

LittleSparkes · 15/07/2016 07:21

Think I'm out.
Small amount of red spotting this morning, really upset. Going to take some time out.

I wish you all the luck niks. I really hope this is your month

Niks2026 · 15/07/2016 06:49

Morning. Still no sign of AF. Feeling really nauseous and woke up at 5.30 absolutely bursting for a wee. I was so tempted to test but managed to stay strong! I'll be testing tomorrow morning Smile how are you little? Ladies....on the thread, where are you up to in your cycles? How is everyone dealing with the emotions of either BFP or BFN?

Niks2026 · 14/07/2016 17:47

I think that's a good sign little :)))
No, not tested yet. It's cd28 but my cycles are between 27-32 normally so wanted to wait til nearer the 31 which will be Sunday. I'm testing Saturday though because I'm out for a hen do in the evening. No signs of AF then little?

LittleSparkes · 14/07/2016 16:41

Have yourself a positive yet?

Still no BFP here? Loves of thick creamy white CM though, is that good?

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 21:39

Aww that sounds so cute!

I hope so much that it is your month!

I wish I could be relaxed, he keeps telling me to be but just can't. I want this so much.
I think because I've had abortions in the past I'm scared I've screwed my body up

Niks2026 · 13/07/2016 20:32

I've been off bc since April but we've had a relaxed approach to ttc. But I know this month we've dtd over the fertile window which the previous months we didn't. And I feel different this month. But we both said it will happen when it happens we are in no rush.
But if I get a BFP this month then when we are in Disneyland (we go next week) I was going to get him to stand with our girls for a photo by the magic kingdom and I was going to pull out of my bag a teeny babygrow that has #3 coming soon whilst I take a picture to capture the look on his face!!

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 20:12

niks care to share?

My partner knows. Mostly because it's my primary focus at the moment! And we both agreed to start trying from January this year

Niks2026 · 13/07/2016 19:24

Haha £50!! Wow. How many was that for? I've got 3 in my drawer, I plan on using 1 Saturday if AF doesn't show. If no result and no AF by Monday I'll test again. 3 sleeps until my first test. I've not told hubby any of this. I'm hoping to surprise him if I get a BFP I've got a plan Wink

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 18:09

Hey niks.
Yours sound promising too!
I'm trying to wait till Saturday too, otherwise I've spent £50 on pregnancy tests already this week!
I've done the cheap online ones, clear blue digital and first response... Kind of running out of options.

Niks2026 · 13/07/2016 17:57

Your symptoms sound so promising, it's just so strange that your still getting bfn little. Have you tried different brands of pg tests?

I've been feeling pretty sick all day, crampy but no spotting at all. I think I'm going to test Saturday, if I can last that long. I was originally going to test Monday which is a day after AF is due. My cycle before last was only 27 days. Cd27 is tomorrow. But don't want to test to early. As my last cycle was 31 days I should wait til Monday but because of my weekend plans I'm testing Saturday.

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 16:48

Going to give it another week then book myself in for a blood test.

I really don't feel good today, nausea and stomach aches
How are you?

Niks2026 · 13/07/2016 16:47

Have you booked some bloods little? It's so confusing not knowing are your cycles always on time?

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 12:32

oooooh how exciting niks
no sign of AF for me either, but to be honest not having any symptoms apart from bloating and nausea.
CD 31 (of 28) - 16DPO

Niks2026 · 13/07/2016 12:23

Completely gone now little. Bright red spotting last night, not a thing today. Nipples still very tender, still smelling everything and nauseous. So I may still be in with a chance.Grin

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 07:20

Niks was I'd definitely AF?

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 19:58

Noooo! SadCakeBrew
