TTC Waiting room stay as long at you like part 4

Oh sam how disappointing for you. You may as well have a large glass of wine then? I do hope things start to work soon.

Sydney I'm 35 this year and was worried about the age thing but I read somewhere that you are not classed as mature in TTC years until 38 so there is plenty of time yet.

GG Welcome back

Sambrads cycle buddy - so sorry to hear about your BFN and then the news from the doctor What a disappointment for you. (((hugs)))

mibbes tried to send you a message with temp details but apparently I can't...

OHMYGD DigitalGirl* - I'm just back in the real world after three plus weeks of not being logged in and just saw your news!! I am absolutely thrilled for you . Hurrah!!!

Now i will have to skim all the other threads to find out people's news so i may be a while before I am up to date again!!!!
(p.s. I am about to change my festive name back to my normal one but I couldn't wait to post!!!)

hello to everyone else

yeah just have to start clomid on day 1 of cycle!!!!!

feeling gutted as i am starting to have some symptoms!!!!

So sorry Sam, will they do any more tests or is it just a question of giving the clomid time to work?

mibbes will send you a message.

Thank you SydneyB! I'm 28, I saw on Pistachio's profile that she is 27 so that's why I put my/our age. But I do know that at 35 - 36 your eggs still have plenty of time! You could do a fertell test from Boots if you're worried? My MIL was 38 when she had my DH, and back in 1971 that was quite an age to have a first child - random bit of info, but what I mean is you'll be fine!

well just to let you all know doc phoned today and said that i did not ovulate!!!!

{{{{{{{{ crying crying crying}}}}}}}}}

looks like i will just sit back and wait for af to come!!!

cycle 9 here i come

Kate thanks so much for the info - my temps seem similar to yours (although probably my body continuing to tease me), will keep taking BBT every day anyway - good practise if nothing else . I'm afraid the link didn't work (just took me to the FF homepage) but don't worry about it.
Will start temping properly next cycle

Kate2179 - congrats on your BFP and great to hear that its an even stronger BFP! . When you say our/your age, can I ask what that is? Just wondering how old everyone is on this thread. I'm about to hit 36 and am neurotic about eggs running out etc.

Sambans The monitor is still in one piece thanks. I think it will ask me for a wee stick on CD6 so hopefully I've set it up correctly!
You know you've tested v v v v v early. I'm sorry you got BFN but I think as someone else said you should throw it away and pretend it never happened.

Kate Thanks for the info it helps to know these things.

Hi to everyone else, hope you are all doing well.

Hi mibbes, my temp range this cycle has been from 36.5 on day one, then I got ill on day 4 which skewed things for a while. I think I ov'd on day 25, my temp rose from 36.65 to 36.82 so not a massive rise. Then continued to rise jerkily for the next 4 days. Today was 37.12 which is highest it has been. Would you like to see my fertilityfriend graph? It says I ov'd on CD27 not CD25 but I disagree based on +ve test on CD36 and what I think was implantation pain on CD33... hope this works!

Hey Kate great to hear you are doing well . Am getting myself ready for a cycle of temping (when AF finally shows up). Have been practising for the past 10 days and temps between 36.6 and 37.1 which was another reason I was hopeful as they seem high. However, haven't taken any pre-ov temps so maybe these are my lows temps and haven't ov'd . If you don't mind me asking what is your high temp range ?
If no AF by Sat/Sun wil retest with FMU - not holding out much hope though. You'll just have to graduate without me but there are loads of lovely waiting room ladies over there now .

Pistachio have def heard EWCM can last for ages, I think up to about 10 days at your/our age. Remember as was very when I heard that as never had it for more than a couple of days.

mibbes am fine thank you, how are you doing? Went for my first session of reflexology this am which was lovely. (Am supposed to be "working-from-home" )
Only sympton is the desire to eat very expensive green vegetables like tender stem/purple sprouting broccoli and asparagus - minime has expensive tastes! Going to make a watercress sauce later to have with salmon... I did another test today with FMU, line definitely darker so was very Have called the doctors and left a message. Very [terrified emoticon] about getting the results, but healthy & well, healthy & well... Are you going to test on sun of no af? Thinking of you. Such a shame that we live about as far apart as 2 people in the british isles can (am in Hampshire!)

07MTW I used persona as contraception, don't be scared! tbh I wasn't the ideal candidate as my cycles were a bit long. It didn't always tell me I was ov'ing but when it did af always arrived 14 days later which was reassuring. We were using it when I got the surprise bfp in September so clearly didn't work too well that month! Although we were often a bit crap with it, DH hated it and called it the wee wee box! Really hope it helps you xx

Hi Pistachio, has it definitely been EWCM for the whole week ? I thought it usually lasted 1-5 days... It is best to keep bd'ing for as long as you have it, so keep at it

Pistachio - look at this way, the more EWCM there is the more chance those chaps have of getting to the egg and surviving! Think it can last for up to 5 days.

pistachio I had EWCM for about 8 days...definitely got more abundant closer to Ov. just keep bd'ing until it's all gone. sometimes the LH surge starts a bit premature.

thanks ladylush I'd been ttc since August...which felt like ages, but I know I'm still relatively lucky to get a bfp within a year. only 4 weeks today, so not in the clear for a while.

mibbes sorry bout the BFN, but try fmu this weekend if no AF.

Treats, I am more or less in same boat as you. Wondering whether boobs feel tender or not. Also wondering whether CM goes white after OV every month and I've never noticed it before or whether it might be A SIGN!

Hello

Thanks for all your kind welcomes and for putting me on the list.

Q. By my calculations, I'm about half way between ov and AF. Feeling very bored as it's way too early to test, but too late to BD (not that it's stopping us ). Can anyone tell me if there are any symptoms I could be feeling at this stage that I can obsess about for the next week or so? I'm not sure at what stage implantation might happen or whether I'll feel anything.

Thanks for your help.

Morning ladies - so much chat I can't keep up!
Quick hello to cycle buddy Emmsy - any signs of AF or BFP today ? Nothing for me, was so convinced had cracked it this month - bl00dy body playing evil tricks .
And for my cycle buddy (now graduate of 2 days !) Kate how are you today ? Did you say whether you'd booked appt for blood test ? Messages are getting lost in this huge thread !
sambrads sorry for BFN but it does sound like you have tested way too early - Patience lady !

Oh poor you Sambrads. Just get through today and promise yourself you won't even think about TTC until you're feeling better. When you're ill everything seems much much worse.

thanks sydneyb!!!!!!!

i am just trying to prepair myself for the worst !!!!!

feel like shit today and thinks are getting to me a bit!!!!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{crying}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

i am so glad i have you all to talk to!!!

Sambrads, yes, MUCH too early, you don't get pregnancy hormone until egg is implanted etc and that can happen up to 12 days after OV. Chuck it in bin and forget about it!
