Ah...Bluestar...that's so sweet.
It is amazing how quickly we all get depressed, stressed and think the worth on this TTC journey. Every day takes on such massive proportions when you're counting every one, either up to OVing or on the 2WW! We must all be kind and gentle with ourselves and try and keep a sense of perspective somehow... or failing that, come on here and pour our hearts out and venht frustrations. I'ma big believer that it's cathartic to just get it all out...all those niggling worries at the back of the mind. They take over if you let them; voice them and their power diminishes...

Thinking of you both today...

Hever - I'm having a bad day too, hun! And Flirty gave me good sensible advice on the Bonkers thread this morning. (Thanks, Flirty) I totally agree with what she's just said. Don't panic or make any assumptions yet!!

Someone else also scolded me for testing early too and said to wait til after AF is due...they are right!

I'm sorry you are having a hard time and going through this!

Hever...you are getting WAY ahead of yourself. You do not know this is a chemical pregnancy! Hold your horses. Wait util you think you're a good 16 DPO and then re-test. I know it's hard honey, but you will just worry yourself silly otherwise.

When did you OV?

I know how much I wanted this but I never realised untill last night how much my DP wanted it too. He was so so happy, telling me how good a dad he was going to be (as if I didnt know that already)This morning I felt as much as I was letting him down as anything else.

I know I might still be pregnant I just feel like its over and it was a Chemical pregnancy. It is hard trying to explain that one to DP, trying to explain that it looks like swimmer met egg but it just didnt want to hold on to me

heverhoney1 · 19/08/2008 12:41

I have really irregular cycles but I reckon I am testing early fron OV signs. I know I should wait a few days but I really want to know. Me being me I thought - 2 lines thats it I am preggers!! Lucky I didnt tell my mum eh

FlirtyThirty · 19/08/2008 12:32

Invest in a Clear Blue Digital test - it will spell out 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'.
Sorry about the uncertainty...

Are you overdue AF or testing early?

heverhoney1 · 19/08/2008 12:25

Well I dont know how to feel this morning. Last night I did two tests both came up with 2 (Not hugely strong but very there and very before 3 mins)lines. This morning I did another 1 with FMU and there was next to nothing there. There was a line if you looked hard enough but no real colour to it. So I not dont know if I am up the duff or not . Is this kind of thing likely with a chem preg or might it just be a freaky test??

FlirtyThirty · 19/08/2008 12:14

Vix - that is FANTASTIC news!!!
Well done your ovaries!
Here's to another happy result after the weekend...

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is well. I have had a bit of good news this morning .... not a BFP yet but I have had the results back from my first round of clomid and it HAS made me ovulate!! Woo Hoo!!

My AF is due around Sunday so fingers crossed she doesn't turn up and the good news can keep on coming!! If not I am feeling more positive about next month!!

DawnAS · 19/08/2008 08:50

Morning all!!

Well, my MC was only two weeks ago, so I'm not sure... and I've asked the question but it sounds like everyone's situation is different... Some people get their AF after 3 weeks, some people don't get it for 6 weeks. Also, because I've started TTC straight away (a week after the MC), if I get PG, I won't know when my AF was due!!

So, if I base it on my old cycle of 35 days, if I hadn't become PG before, my AF would have been 23rd July, which would have meant my next AF will be 27th August (next Wednesday). If it carries on like that, I would have OVd last weekend. So we started BDing last Friday and have BDd every other day and will continue to do so until I either get AF or get some PG symptoms . I did get some AF type cramps yesterday but with no blood and that's how my Implantation bleed started last time and would work if I had OVd last week.

But the bottom line is that I really don't know where I am in my cycle. So I just have to wait and see....

Hope all you girls with little beans are doing well!!

Hoping AF doesn't show for you girls for this weekend!!

heverhoney congratulations too! Wow! Good luck for both of you but don't leave us!!

heverhoney1 · 18/08/2008 18:54

bit of both my cycles are very irregular so am on cd 35 but think I am only 10 or so days post ov (again I think I think) so can you all hope for a sticky 1 for me and flirty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DawnAS · 18/08/2008 18:34

I have to admit Flirty that I was pretty amazed that it had happened first month for me too!!

Even now, I know that I can do it and I think it releases the TTC pressure a little bit.

There's nothing to say that it will happen as quick for me this time round, but having achieved it once, I'm sure we can achieve it again!!

So wait for me and I'll be with you in a jiffy!!

Thanks for the babydust!!

FlirtyThirty · 18/08/2008 18:25
