Morning everyone!!

Fairywing so sorry about your BFN , but there is still some hope so keeping everything crossed!!

Welcome crunchys sister!!

ha ha maf your comment about your bathroom tap has just made me giggle!! I think with the clearblue early pg tests you can detect upto 6 days before your next due af??
( if that makes sense!! )

I am on day 14 today and my digital clearblue ovulation tests showed a nice smily face yesterday and today!! Had to do another one just to make sure!! So lots of BDing over the next few days, we have also BD'd a few times over the weekend so really am praying that this could be the month!!

Am already dreading the 2WW!! aaahhh

xx

Morning ladies. Fairy i've still got everything crossed for you :-)

Well i think i'm 4 days past OV and have already turned into a serial symptom spotter. I think i have a 10 day LP, so what day do you think i could realistically get away with testing? I actually tested this morning which was pointless as there was more chance of my bathroom tap gettin a BFP, It's official, i'm obsessed with pee.ing on sticks lol

Ladies, please help me stay sane :-)

Morning all! Hope you all had good weekends?

I watched Knocked Up with DH yesterday, it's actually a really funny film

Oh Fairywing about your BFN but hopefully it was just a bit early. Fingers and toes crossed that AF doesnt turn up.

I'm on CD27 today but will not be testing until Saturday...I won't, I won't....

summerbird · 08/09/2008 09:15

not boring at all fairywing i dont blame you for being confused, i would be exactly the same. hang on in there girl, yesterdays test might have been a bit early?

fairywing · 08/09/2008 08:57

...and this morning ( i know this is getting boring isn't it!!) no AF, no cramps, still sore boobs/nipples, no raunchy dreams, not majorly tired and don't have the spaced out feeling i had yesterday. Today puts me on CD32 so who knows what is going on. I just know i have never had AF threaten to start and then nothing. I always get light cramping for a day or s gradually getting more intense and then straight into full on AF. Might go and stock up on some more tests later. Now i've done yesterdays i just want to keep testing!!!

fairywing · 07/09/2008 22:42

Thanks Ladies.
BSL i'm 13 days post ov today. Had yet more cramps tonight on and off and still no AF. Will give it a few more days and see what happens.

summerbird · 07/09/2008 20:39

hi girls, just been catching up.

fairywing about your BFN. you did the right thing testing now as you might have done what i did in april (3 days late and talked myself into the next 15 years with lickle summerbird jnr). your cycles may just be getting back to normal. virtual hugs on the way over.

and hi there crunchys sis! and thank you for introducing your crunchy to MN and our lovely thread!

BSL it is easy for me to say i know but you dont really know anything until your DH has been to see his GP, you would never have cottoned on to this with out MN so i will be keeping my fingers crossed for you both, i am sure even if it is a factor then they will be able to do something about it to help you along. virtual hugs over to you too

DH and i went to a party at our friends housein Surrey last night and had a whale of a time, as you can imagine Mrs Summerbird was dancing the night away right through to 4am apparantly!!

bluestarlavender · 07/09/2008 20:12

Fairywing - I am so sorry!! How many days past OV are you? I usually have exactly 13 days and then AF comes.

I do hope it's a false negative!!!

try not to be too it may just be too early? And like you said you don't know how long your cycle is anyway. Cheer up, eat some chocolate. Always helps me when I get cramps xx

fairywing · 07/09/2008 13:51

BFN

fairywing · 07/09/2008 13:23

Getting more and more tempted to just go and test now, i'm seeing my mum later, be nice to give her some good news. But if it is BFN i'll be after getting my hopes up.

makingafamily · 07/09/2008 12:54

I've got everything crossed for you fairy Everything sounds promising. When do you think you might test? I'm so excited for you

fairywing · 07/09/2008 12:24

well i don't really know, this is my first proper cycle since my endo treatment and before that i was on the pill. I'm pretty sure i was a 28 day cycle before that which would make AF due on Friday just gone but i really don't know. The cramps were normal for me and going by them i should have come on either yesterday or this morning first thing but nothing and cramps have now died right down. Makes it hard cos i can't really say i'm late. I have felt odd for a couple of days now though.

makingafamily · 07/09/2008 10:47

Fairy when was AF due?

fairywing · 07/09/2008 09:21

Oh i don't know what to think now, no AF this morning, cramps have died down and aren't so intense. They are still there just more niggly and intermittent rather that constant like yesterday evening.Still have that vague nausious feeling too. Still not testing again though, couldn't bear another BFN, will wait and see. I hate this!

hi! BSL it is oN my list! I am ridiculously broke at the moment, last months pennies went on holiday and this month I've gone a little crazy with back to school! (have spent £40 on stickers and £30 on books and then had my hair done and bought some clothes) and now am absolutLy broke again LOL it's embarrasing really. It scared me a little when I googled it that it may cause early miscarriage if you Are pg. Especially as i wouldn't know if I was pg so I'm waiting a bit! (sort our finances!) and give my body a little more time. I've got it in my head to give myself 6months before I get too panicky as I was told there would be a delay! SO I'm trying to relax up tip the new year then I mAy buy the pills!

fairywing · 06/09/2008 20:00

No news yet today, more intense cramps but no AF. Really feel like she will arrive any moment though i think by the morning she will be here. Will keep you posted.

bluestarlavender · 06/09/2008 18:55

Crunchy - sorry about your auntie!! I hope the news after the scan is better! I also wanted to ask if you have tried that herbal remedy we discussed a while back. I was curious to see if it did help bring back regular periods...

MAF - I admire Fairywing too, I would have had to pee on a stick by now as well!

Waves to everyone!!

BSL try to stay positive. At least now you have seen the thread you will be able to find out one way or another. You may never have know.

I'm a little down too... My auntie was at the hospital yesterday for some tests. It looks like cAncer has returned (3rd time) but they think it's behind her heart. Don't know officially though as she is now wait for a body scan but from what the doctors have said it's not looking good.

Anyway! I am not too bad apart from that. I have hAd a girly film dAy today and have wAtched hairspray and hAd a good sing along. Really does cheer you up! I have that same PMT symptoms that have made me test twice but I'm recognizing whAt it is now at least! Is still frustrating to feel this crap for a week every month but not to have AF (stop me from using my free clearblus test!!)

Hope you hear something soon BSL

Crunchy xx
