Also I guess I didn't miss my surge...the blank test I got was either faulty or I had a sudden dip in my Lh if that's even possible.

@HoldTightPretendItsAPlan Yeah having a date in mind kind of makes you look forward it even more lol

@Nebula that's so strange! No action and 9days late? They should at least give you a reason for it. X

nebula16 · 09/03/2017 16:42

I love it too, all you ladies are amazing! There's no judgment ❤ I know MistyB! It's so strange, I think I'm out for this cycle and my body is just playing cruel tricks. I'll keep you updated! How are you feeling lovely?

MistyBxx · 09/03/2017 16:27

Ah bless you Leanne 😍 I love this thread, everyone is so nice. Hmmm it's so weird isn't it that you've been regular all this time and now a long gap! I wish I knew the answer 😳 it must just be a crazy cycle lol at least your bloods have nothing to report, coz that means that's all normal and healthy! So I'd say just keep doing what you're doing for now!!🙌🏼

nebula16 · 09/03/2017 15:31

I'm 25 by the way almost 26 and I know you don't have to say names but my name is Leanne and it's lovely to have all of you ladies for support!

nebula16 · 09/03/2017 15:12

Well I stopped taking my pill around 9 months ago, I got pregnant a month after that and then lost the little bean at 7 weeks. My periods have been on the dot regular since (6 months ago) I had a period exactly 6 weeks after my miscarriage and then had my periods on the 27/28th of each month so it's just so confusing I feel like I'm going crazy :')

Pibbee · 09/03/2017 14:28

Nebula that is strange! Must be your body settling down still. So frustrating!

Another day, and still nothing to report from me.....

Gosh Misty those preg boards do sound a bit doom! Luckily MrsJ has started one, hopefully we can all migrate across soon!

MistyBxx · 09/03/2017 12:23

Nebula that's so weird! What are your stats again chick? Like when did you come off pill etc and what cycle day are you and what are your normal cycles? Since I came off the pill, my cycles have been 28-31 days but I had one crazy 39 dayer for no apparent reason but I had began taking pregnacare conception tablets, that was the only difference, and I googled the reviews and loads of people said it messes your cycles up although how, I don't know, it doesn't contain anything which should affect it but hundreds said it did! Hundreds also said it didn't though as well, but I stopped taking them anyway and all cycles following were almost clockwork x

nebula16 · 09/03/2017 11:50

So my blood tests came back "normal no action" so I'm still left confused and 9 days late! I'm going crazy ladies! Sad

HoldTightPretendItsAPlan · 09/03/2017 11:34

Welcome JellyBean

We're not ttc just yet, we've set the date for April. I thought I'd feel happier with a date in mind. Now I'm just counting down the pills left to take Angry

nebula16 · 09/03/2017 10:13

MistyB, I understand what you mean about the pregnancy boards I was on one but I barley had any replies because it was so huge.. so stay on here with these lovely ladies :)

Pibbee , thanks for asking lovely! Another bfn this morning but no signs of af either. So I'm calling my doctors this afternoon for my blood test, just so confusing! Hope you are well! :)

JellyBean89 · 09/03/2017 09:27

@mrsjkerry I hope so, I. Just confused as to why I'd get a clear negative and then a faint line again the next day. Either way I hope it happened overnight as I have come on with a sudden stomach bug and dh is working evenings until Saturday so no BD can be done until then.

mrsjkerry · 09/03/2017 06:03

OMG misty I just saw your post about private 8 weeks!!! I did EXACTLY that yesterday!! 😄 going 1 April

Jelly - I do know your surge can happen extremely quickly and you can miss it. Maybe yours happened overnight?

JellyBean89 · 08/03/2017 23:51

Thank you Pibbee I really hope so!

JellyBean89 · 08/03/2017 23:49

Congratulations on your bfp!! I wish you a very healthy and happy pregnancy x

I had clear ewcm yesterday and again tonight so hopefully we dtd at the right time.

MistyBxx · 08/03/2017 23:20

Yeah I am on a pg board and it's ok but it's so big and so many people who all seem to already know eachother, it's just not as cosy as this one 😂 also it's quite scary... when on this board, all you want is that bfp and when it happens it's amazing but on the pg thread, everyone is scared they're not skicky beans and people are constantly talking about scans and heartbeats then the occasional person will pop in to say goodbye saying they've had chemicals or ectopics or Mc and it's really worrying me! I'd never thought about a bfp not remaining a bfp... well I know it happens of course but I've never been overly worried about it and now that's all I think about when really I just want and wish for a healthy happy 9 months! Not being an ostrich, I know it happens and I know some ladies on here have suffered losses and it defo needs to be talked about, but I do feel like we should be concentrating more on the positives on a pg board as worrying and scaring can actually stress people (like me!) out more 😂 perhaps I'm being a little over sensitive (or insensitive as the case may be) and I honestly don't mean to be, but I wish people were at least cautiously optimistic 🙈

Pibbee · 08/03/2017 22:55

Hey Misty! Have you mooched around any of the pregnancy boards again or not? Lovely to still have you here!

Pibbee · 08/03/2017 22:53

Welcome Jelly!!! No idea about those OPKs with the lines on as I've not used them but I think it is possible to ovulate straight away....

MistyBxx · 08/03/2017 22:46

Welcome jellybean! I've no idea how opks work, I used them for a couple of months and know the difference between a positive and negative, but this month I tested the same time every day from cd7 up to cd18 and my tests went from snowy white to a couple of days of squinter lines then back to snowy white with NO positive the whole month, but I definitely ovulated because I got a bfp (I'm just hanging around this thread sprinkling baby dust on everyone coz everyone on here is so lush and I don't want to leave lol) so I wouldn't trust opks 100%. On the days I had squinter lines, I also had slight cramps and lots of clear ewcm in the week before so I didn't go by the tests alone and just as well coz I never got a positive opk!

JellyBean89 · 08/03/2017 22:25

Hi ladies,
Can I join? It's our first month TTC, I came off the Mirena on the 02/03 and doctor said we could start straight away. I had a bleed that lasted 3-4 days and then yesterday evening I felt like I usually do around ovulation time (pre-Mirena) so took a test and there was faint line, few hours later did another one and the line was darker but still not positive so we dtd and assumed I'd get a positive today but this morning I did one at around 9ish and the test line didn't even appear and my ewcm was streaked with pink. I assumed I must have ovulated ridiculously quickly but I'm not even sure if that's possible. I just tested again on 2 different brands and I have faint lines on both. Can someone explain to me how that would work? I know for a positive the line has to be as dark as test or darker, but could I have missed it? I'm so confused

mrsjkerry · 08/03/2017 20:36

Marie I bought a back of like 20 from boots. They were more expensive than the simple sticks but also a lot easier to read and way more reliable. I had a few months of using the cheapies, but this month I got my BFP and had been using the more expensive Boots ones only.

Ttc - sorry to hear AF has come. But as misty said. It just marks the start of new fertility and if you got a BFP this month it'd be your first day of pregnancy too!

Nebula - any news??

Twistedsister7 · 08/03/2017 19:31

Ttc I'm so sorry AF arrived for you & believe me I know how you are feeling. I caned a bottle of wine yesterday which is not good at all!! Like you said, I gave myself the day & now I'm trying to plan. I need more OPKs!!

Gearing up for next cycle!! Hopefully it's our turn for a BFP!!

Pibbee · 08/03/2017 17:11

Good luck Nebula!!!

nebula16 · 08/03/2017 16:06
