snap sallie, my af has just arrived too . so that makes today cd1, so I DO still have 30 day cycles! god knows what was going on when I was so convinced i was pregnant, i shall ignore all "signs" except a bfp next time! Oh well, now at least I know everything is back to normal post mirena.
mommied, you sound like a pretty possible next bfp for us all to me.
so many of us are having af now, there will be quite the little testing group next month!

I'm so upset about hester, I posted on her other thread, life is v cruel sometimes.

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 10:52

Sallie - sorry to hear about AF

MommyD - all sounds promising for you. Fingers crossed and lots of babydust your way.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I'm CD 38. BFN yesterday and have agreed with DH that I won't test again until at least Wed...

wilbur · 15/11/2004 10:51

Hey, my first attempt at bold worked! Howzat!!

wilbur · 15/11/2004 10:49

Just saw the other thread and I'm so sad for hester - how unfair.

Sorry so many are having horrid visits from AF, the old bag. Hope she speeds on her way soon.

Starting to feel slightly hopeful here as AF is due on Thursday or Friday and my temp is still quite high - certainly higher than it was at this stage last month and above the coverline on the TCOYF program. Don't have any other symptoms, but then I didn't with ds and dd either until much later. I probably shouldn't think like this as I really didn't think we bd'd at the right time this month, but you can't help crossing fingers eh? Itching to do a test as I have a few in the cupboard, but will wait. Yes wilbur, you will wait.

jeddah · 15/11/2004 10:12

tania hope you are feeling better

by the way your short cycles are a good thing.....more chances of ov in a year!

and if you ov around day 9 and af came day 24....then this is 14dpo!

I ov around day 121314 ?????????? so my dpo is only about 10!

blossomhill · 15/11/2004 10:09

OMG Hester - So sorry I didn't read the thread through properly. Really sorry to hear your sad news xxx

jeddah · 15/11/2004 10:07

hester..............

I am very shocked and extremely upset to hear your news! I can only imagine a small fraction of what you are going through! If I multiply this by 1000 I am sure I wouldn't even come near to it!

I know you don't want to hear this.....but until I did my midwifery degree, I never realised how common m/c is ...1:4 women miscarry and my dear friend it is always for a reason....things weren't right hest!........
I know its hard to look at the positive but at least you know you can get pregnant

My thoughs are with you...and you know we are all here for you!

blossomhill · 15/11/2004 10:00

Just wanted to send you all lots of babydust....´¨) ´¨) ´¨)

about AF Sallie

Hulababy · 15/11/2004 09:58

(((hugs))) Hester. Seen your message. So sorry.

MommyD · 15/11/2004 09:42

Hester, I am so, so sorry. (((hugs)))

AF still not shown yet and no AF pains at all which is unusual. I am feeling very, very sick and do not want to be at work today. I said that I would hold out testing until Tuesday, but I think I may go ahead and do it today as I really have no signs of AF at all... One weird thing is that I have woken up in the night like a furnace the last three nights. I asked dh if it was hot - and he was actually quite cold! I was hot with the last two pgs. This could be a good sign?

velcrobott · 15/11/2004 09:33

Have you seen Hester's message on other thread?

Sallie · 15/11/2004 09:29

Well after all my wibbling and silly early tests last week, af arrived with avengeance on Saturday - very heavy and now feel completely drained as well as and disappointed. Still - it was not meant to be this month....

Hulababy · 15/11/2004 08:26

Morning all; good luck to all you coming up to testing time.

CD14 here; temp back down after yesterday - it was sky high, but related to drinking and eating lots night before. Last month OV day was CD15. CM not showing right signs as yet though - well not compared to last month.

Tania2 · 15/11/2004 03:47

Hi girls,
Feeling very low today af really heavy and still have the cramps and sore hips. Fat lady has certainaly sung her song now
Well i will concintrate on giving ds the best 2 yr old party ever i am going to do a bob the builder party he has 10 of his friends coming so i should be a very busy day hey there's a positive at least i wont be feeling sick and tried at his party but 2 of my friends that will be there are pg so that should rub salt in my wounds.
Seeing the natrapath on Wed this week to give her an ear full on why my cycle is getting shorter and next Tues i will be seeing my gyno (just so he can take more money from me) to fill out all the paperwork and stuff for my op in Dec. DS party is next Wed so i will hopfully have more faith by then that i bloody should be pg soon.
So who's up for testing and who is starting the new thread???
How are you feeling Jeddah i bet your p**sed off that af has arrived early.

Berolina thanx for your reply thought i was being over looked, good luck to all this weekxxxxx

mariella · 14/11/2004 20:13

hi, still here, day 30, no af, bfn this morning though. so waiting to see what happens. don't know what is going on with this cycle though because it is first after mirena.. normally have a 29/30 day cycle though.

Munnzieb · 14/11/2004 20:10

thanks for the info Geordie.

Munnzieb · 14/11/2004 20:09

oh i had the pink thing yesterday, but the OV kits said I wasn't OV, which makes sence as it was only day 9. but def had the tissue one. the (Run) one was only apparent on M1 of TTC. I think it's back to tracking it. God it's confusing being a woman! lol.

geordie · 14/11/2004 19:54

just to add- when wiping (TMI!) egg white mucus looks a bit like you've wiped a snotty nose...kind of glistens and doesn't soak into the tisue...I think this is characteristic of fertile mucus and sperm also. If it is runny and soaks away- I'm not sure that is fertile CM.
tbh- I found it easier to check by furking (internal examination of Cm and cp rather than just wiping)....unless of course you get a pinkish cm at ovulation- with an ov bleed- the only time i had this was when i fell pg with ds!)

geordie · 14/11/2004 19:50

hi all,

Munzie
thin mucus like that is a good sign but it does not have to be that thin. As long as you can at the least stretch it out between finger and thumb without it breaking (like egg white) it if v fertile...however some women do just get clear very wet 'runny' () cm. Either way both are considered fertile!!

HTH

Munnzieb · 14/11/2004 19:40

a quick question about CM... does it (scuse the bluntness) need to be very thin... to the point of (whispers so as not to offend) er... dripping (sorry I know it's gross, or can it just be v v slight in in that you can only feel it when wiping iyswim.

Fingers crossed for you MommyD. hopefully she won't show her ugly head!

BeckiF · 14/11/2004 19:34

Still doing my opk's, and though the lie appeared to be getting darker tonight it was lighter again. This could be because I hadn't store my wee up enough, or that my hormones are all over the place anyway. I dunno ... I've been poorly too, although I doubt that has anything to do with it.
