TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

thanks,
it is the same one, first response. I was saving the second one in the box to double check in a few days time. Thers's no more spotting or anything going on - its worse because I am waiting now for something to happen then i know it will all be over- waiting is worse. Maybe I should go and buy another test, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Feel very sick now, but with dread maybe, not pg.
What shall I do?

Tooks You could do another test tomorrow, but this another case for why so mnay doctors hate the early indication type preg tests. Im my mums day it wasn't really until a woman had missed two periods that a test was done, and by then they would be nearly over the early loss stage. I truly hope that this isn't what has happened to you, loads of ladies talk of implantation bleeds when everything is getting settled into place. Apart from that I can only send you a a huge hug and my love and hope that everything works out OK.

awwww Tooks bless you (((hugs)))

i don't know what to suggest other than you should make an appointment with your GP.

is it the same kind of pregnancy test as the last one you used, or a different brand?

thinking of you xxxx

Hi,
I posted last week, having just had a faint positive. Today, despite feeling more pg than ever am getting some pink discharge - have just done another test and its negative. I am in bits...

Morning all, hi Tania, good to see you - CAT may not have reached you yet as it depends on one of the mn team being around to fwd and/or depends on whether or not you have allowed emails as part of your profile. Great news about ds sleeping through, hope that means you're getting more sleep too, when not otherwise occupied . Sounds like ds is in for a fab birthday!

Hula, not sure of the answer to your question but think it's ok and not anything to worry about.

CD27 feeling sick but may be bug as feeling crampy like af coming - been feeling really strange this past week - even if it is just af on way the good news is my cycle might be reverting back to normal 28-30 days instead of 37, so probably shouldn't complain too much. Af due from tomorrow or from 1st/2nd Dec depending on which cycle length i use - should I just wait until have no af past 37 days before testing, can't keep facing "early" bfn.

CD21 here; FF has now decided that I OVd on CD17. So 4 DPO. LP has been 10 and 12 days so far.

However despite OV being CD17, I seem to have had EWCM since then too (also had it before). Is this normal? Only has one brief time of EWCM last month - just before OV.

morning tan, I only have one ovary myself, (the tube was all twisted up and the ovary was completely dead ) and I asked the docotr the same question i've had the same answer twice in two different practices (one being a gyno spec. dr) both said the remaining one would compensate for the missing one. I am slightly concerned however it will mean going thru the menopause earlier, but the dr seems to think theres no link to show those with only one do have that problem. I suspect thou it will take a few months for the one remaining OV to realise his buddy isn't there after bing on the pill for so long, so at the minute I think i'm every other month, thou i've not had anyone confirm that.

Oh Munnzieb and Twiga thank you for thinking of me you made me feel so loved . Twiga i havent got your cat, does that just come through my email???
Sorry i havent been around i just have been so busy and dh is always using the pc latley
Ds's birthday is this friday having a party on Wednesday so really been out organising that gee its only a 2yr olds party but so much organising????
Hula congrats on getting the house it looks really good, nice place to start a family
CD7 here dont know if i have oved yet tried to bd yesterday but (TMI WARNING) very dry???? whats with that??? surely i havent oved then if i have no cm at all?? been feeling sick the last two mornings so not interested in morning BD either. AND guess what ds is sleeping in his own bed through the night since last sunday night hence the reason to start trying to bd in the morning cause thats meant to be better right?? have my appointment for the gyno tomorrow dont know what he is going to do other than empty my purse and fill out paper work for my op on the 15th which i hope i dont need.
Question??? my friend lost a tube and a ovary from a tube pg thing (cant remember what its called) does that mean she ov's every second month or does the other ovary compincate??? and does anyone know what you can use as lube that wont harm dh's swimmers????
Hope you are all well. Sorry for not being here for you all when you are down. Looking out for some BFP soon i hope.
Miss you all
Love Tan

Ok, have sent a CAT.....

CD26, chest not really sore any more but been feeling sick on and off last few days - knowing my luck it'll be a bug.

I was wondering about that too Munzie, will I CAT her and say hi from us lot?

does anyone know how tania is? (or have I not read far enough down) wasn't it her DS b'day coming up?

Rudy - our house is the opposite die of the roundabout to Endcliffe Park - so very close. Feels kind of strange. WE're going to go and see it again in a couple of weekends. BIL is coming too as he's a surveyor. Going to take lots of measurements, etc.

Spent most of today in town waving to Bob the Builder and Wendy though - he was turning on the lights here

Really not sure I want to have to pay out £10 a month if I can avoid it - seems so expensive May in a few months if things haven't sorted themselves out into a nice pattern...

well jeddah, you can take the girl out of marketing...

thanks rudy for your plug!

hula about OPKs....sometimes they are frustrating to read....is it dark...is it dark enough???? one day quite dark....next day gone!
and they are £20

To be honest...I would go straight for a persona monitor....as it reads it all for you and you can get a great deal on ebay....loads for sale the sticks are £9.99 per month once you get goung!

Hi Hula - can't help with opks I'm afraid. I'm using persona but have learnt from Sallie that the sticks can double as opks. Though persona is not a cheap option either.

How's your weekend been? Hope you've been doing lots of celebrating! Are you moving far? I used to live near Endcliffe Park and have v. happy memories of that area.

THanks jeddah. FF still hasn't detected OV for me. I'm on CD20 today. Temp went up .2 on CD18, went down .1 on Cd19 and down again by .1 today. Confused, but I do think I have had EWCM a couple of times or so.

Regards the LP - month 1, according to FF, I OVd on CD18 of a 28 day cycle (LP = 10 days). Last month I OVd on CD15 of a 27 day cycle (LP = 12 days). So finding all this confusing now. TBH I wonder whether my body is still settling down after coming off the pill.

This is this month and last month's charts

I am considering trying OPK next month as well just to check if I am actually OVing. But they are so expensive - are they pretty accurate does anyone know?

Evening all

Nothing exciting to report here but just thought I'd pop in and say hi.

Also, to alert everyone to Jeddah's 'meet up' thread. I think she's determined to get us all organised so get on over and put your info in. Just think of having something lovely in your diary to look forward to you in the new year!

Hope all are well. Thinking of the weekend testers xxx (and the rest, of course!)

Beckif, it must be so hard hard with PCSO!
sounds promising though!!!!!

Its all so frustrating with different GPs practising in different ways........basically we all have a right to ask and insist on basic fertility blood tests.......so girls don't stand for any of it.....this is your right!

well fingers crossed for you then, as jeddah said it could just be too early for testing. try again in a week or so if AF has not started... as long as she doesn't show up theres a chance!

did u come off the fags completely now then?

My dr tested me as well after 6 months of TTC but my friend's won't until her AF returns (says can take up to a year) after a yr thou he will test her. and she's v v frustrated as it seems to be her pratice is not very forthcoming with helping her.

came off pill in March with the intention of waiting three cycles before we started trying, partly because i was giving up smoking too and didn't want to start ttc till i was well and truly off the fags, but mainly because this is what the dr's suggest. it took 90 days for my period to arrive!!!!

started ttc at the beginning of july, basically my dr said to just keep going, i had blood tests a month ago which came back normal and once again my doc said to just keep trying.

my dr said if nothing has happened by March then to go back and she'll start investigating further, which i was quite surprised about. my cousin had to wait ages before they would even give her blood tests let alone anything else.

is valley girl still trying does anyone know how she went with ther 21day tests?

how long have you been trying moschops?

munnzie > not sure but i was under the impression you can ov without seeing AF. it's so confusing isn't it.

Becki > i sympathise with you on this whole OV mystery. because i'm still waiting for my body to settle down after coming off the pill there is absolutely no predictability to my cycles. it's one of the reasons i haven't used any kind of charting /opk yet. really hope you get lucky!!

Jeddah > thankyou! it probably was far too early to test. i'm only on day 30, i'm usually very strict with myself about testing but i just couldn't resist. i'm trying not to imagine symptoms!!

was reading on a site that implantation can happen between 6 and 14 dpo but usually happens between 8 and twelve dpo. it didn't say at what point the hcg started to be present and detectable though. sometimes i think i'd be better off not looking this stuff up!! i frustrate myself with knowledge but at the same time i have an insatiable curiosity about it all.

have convinced myself i am not pregnant.....it's the easiest way to get by each day.

does any one know if you can OV without having AF?, one of my friends also TTC on cycle 3 has not had AF since coming off the pill, her cycles were very erratic b4 the pill (1yr +) and she had a cyst remove when a teenager, he's concerend with the lack of sympathy her DR is showing - Tending to brush it off. I said i'd ask you guys and see what we come up with. I thought u can OV without AF as you can see AF without OV? am I right there?
