TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

no clue when i ov.... (of course)
Can you have an implantation bleed and no sore boobs?

vel you can have an implantation bleed 7-10 days after ovulation and the best time to test is 14dpo

i am here.... have you got thoughts on my post at 1:43?

where is everyone today?

I am so pissed off that pregnancy symptoms can be same as af symptoms........as I am now feeling a bit sickly........but I do with af aswell...no sure boobs though!

hmmm.... really ?????? do you not have pregnancy signs like sore boobs too or does that bleed happen BEFORE sore boobs ?
As I am in a no AF area I have NO idea if or when i should test.... when do you have an implantation bleed?
Hadn't thought of that.... don't want to get hopes up!

Should add - i have no PMS feelings at all... that's why I got VERY surprised when I had the bleed! (normally feel a bit crampy before AF).

Velcrobott! That could be...implantation...ok I'm going to shut up now lol!

Jeds, best of luck to you!! It sounds so promising!

Tania - with miscarriages sometimes it can be really easy to be calm and collected at first, and even laugh about it! You might find that at some point in the next few weeks it suddenly 'hits' her, just keep supporting her and keep an eye on her, you're doing great! Not that I know much at all about miscarriages, just known a few people who've had them.

half a tean spoon.... let's not get carried away!
Let us know - i know you will.... crossing all my fingers for you!

Hiya vel!......so your af may have returned this is good news?

You asked if I am ever late.........bit of a difficult question....as my cycles are irregular, my longest has been 34 days........so it is very hard to tell, but the 34 day was when I ov cd22-23.....so?????? not sure

Are you often late Jeddah? You could be pregnant???
Am having slight blood loss.... could it be AF.... not seen them in 6 months !

Marinda just read on another thread that you are being referred!

When did you get referred and have you got your appointment through? how long have you been ttc?

My appointment is 25th Jan!
I am 41yrs old and have been ttc for 1 year!

cockenzie have you had any response to your 'wanted' advert for your persona????

yes rudy day 21 test is to test the progesterone rise to indicate ovulation.

Good luck Tan!

I guess I haven't tested cos:

1. Really could not go through another negative test!

2. Haven't got any in the house

3. My dh is great at persuading me not to test!

Hester where are you?

Tania -so sorry to hear about your sister. She does sound like an amazingly strong woman. I'm sure that all you are doing is good support for her.

Good luck to you with your appointment tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing about your BFP

OOOHHHH jeddah really hope you are pg.
triceratops ooohhhh sounds promising.

Thanks for all your kind well wishes for my sister but i think she has certinaly m/c had very very heavy bleeding like never had b4 and really bad cramps also like she has never had b4. she is just so strong just says well it wasnt meant to be then. Not going to start ttc for a while yet but very worried that this may have been her last chance (she is 32 in June). What do you say to someone who is going through this? She just keeps on saying that this is nothing compared to what iam going through and she just wants to be there for me i think she felt so guilty that she fell pg without ttc when i find out that i have to do ivf. Its not her fault that i have blocked tubes. God how do i help her through this she says that she just wants to put it to the back of her head....that cant be healthy?

Have appointment with the councellor and nurse tomorrow at IVF clinic. Very nervous but also very excited iam so in limbo atm at least tomorrow arvo we will know where we stand.
Going to buy a journal tomorrow and start writing down my thoughts and feelings so iam not always talking about it to friends and you guys figure that it will be too draining being my friend atm so if my journal cops it all than i should be able to keep my friends iykwim.

Anyway take care girls thank you for all your support and friendships you all have got me through the past 12 months Iam not saying goodbye cause i will be still lurking and congratulating all the BFP that will be flooding this board this year. Hopefully i will be able to be one of them.

LOL always
Tania
xxxxxxx

btw - the Day 21 test...is that supposed to be after you've O'd and to tell you whether you did that month?

ooh jeddah, I can't believe how patient you are! I would have done a million tests by now !!! When I was pg with DS I used the Boots own test and I don't think it has any special name other than "Boots Pregnancy Test" or something similar. Loads of luck to you xxx

BeckiF - (((hugs))) so sorry to hear about your work. It does sound like you are having a really hard time at the moment. Please use us for all the support we can give you and take care of yourself xxx

Welcome kiwicath - can't help with the Ov questions I'm afraid. I'm in a similar position of having long cycles and no idea when I'm ovulating but using persona and hoping that it will tell me soon!

Hello to everyone else! Hope you're all well. Hester - how are you doing? When are you due to test?

silver.........boots own brand what is it called

is it called 'first response' and is it called digital???

Course you could - you don't need a biology lesson do you young Jeddah???!!! xxx

I just couldn't be pregnant could I girls!

hula start using opks you may be ok this month and you will catch your ov.

hi I have changed my mn name from ellimum to triceratops as there is an elliemum posting out there and I didn't want her to think I am an impersonator.

I have just thrown up at the smell of coffee. does anyone know how early you can get morning sickness? - af aint due until friday so I can't test. (well I can and I did and it came up negative but it was a complete waste of money as it is way too early)

So sorry about your sister Tanya. Good luck everybody else.

Not using any ov predictor as don't really know what the options are and then it's very tricky to get anything like that here. Hoping to avoid a long trip up to Cairo to visit Gyno. Since the resumption of my period (4 months ago) I've had all the ov signs (mucous, cramps, grumps ) on day 14 yet not af'ing until between 33-40. Is my bod playing games or could I really be ov'ing then.

Cocenzie, I'm a kiwi girl but for the past 10 years lived in Egypt (Sinai) and married to a Brit. Usually a full time Scuba Diving Instructor but LOVING being a mum and only dive for the shear hell/fun of it now. I'm awfully new to this topic so you're going to have to help me out with all the cd's, ff's, bbt's etc - figured the ov out all on my own . Big old hugs to you Becks, seems you've got a lot on your plate at the moment. Tania, any more word on your sister??? - hoping the little bean is a sticky one.

Jeddah - definitely get Boots own brand - worked for me when I was only just late and I've heard other similar comments!

Hulababy - I would still use the OPKs - which brand are they? I used them a couple of times and they always showed I ov'd later than I presumed. I used to use them when I got home from work so hadn't been for a wee for a while! I also stopped drinking lots of water from about 3.30 so by 6ish everything was a bit more concentrated if you know what I mean!!

Thinking of everyone else especially those having a hard time ...
