Hi Guys,

Amyboo, Congratulations and well done i hope all goes well for you.

Fairyanne, about the mc i know what you are going through as i have been there and i know the mixture of emotions you must be feeling. My Mc happened the same way i had a light +ive and then a much darker one and then 3 days later a -ive and i hadnt even started bleeding so your doc is probably right and that it is an early MC.

Bubble, thanks for asking how i am sorry i havent been on, I'm ok am on CD10 and have been temping although DD came in at 5 and i jumped out of bed without taking temp and then as i had just finished going for a wee remembered i was going to do OPKs so today is out the window, will have to Bd just to be sure. Although no sign of any ewcm as yet. I took the clomid from cd2 to cd6 and they say about a week after that you should Ov so should be soon.
Im alittle miffed as my back is realy hurting me at the moment dont know if its stress or tension but its the same every month leading up to Ov and this month seems to be worse. perhaps it is the pressure i am under.
How are you Bubble?

Hi all,

I went to the GP today who has done a blood test but as I am now bleeding (started this pm but still light)she is pretty certain I am having an early mc due to the tests now being negative

I have to wait till tomorrow for the results......

fairyanne · 03/03/2009 18:49

Thanks everyone, your support means a lot ! I have been using the 10mui from ebay and some from pound land (sent to me by the in laws!). The +ve was an ebay test. I daren't try th others now although I do have a CB digital in the cupboard, I'm not sure how many negatives a girl can take! You're right it is a rollercoaster, and not the kind I like!..time will tell I suppose.

Joy27 · 03/03/2009 18:09

Oh poor you fairyanne. I hope your GP can put your mind at rest/you get a positive test. It's a bloody rollercoaster isn't it?

bubblebell1 · 03/03/2009 17:31

Fairyanne i hope that you get a more definate bfp tomorrow.

what brand of tests are you using?

sending hugs your way babe... xxxx

fairyanne · 03/03/2009 16:58

Congratulations Amyboo thats fantstic.

I'm now starting to worry, tested again this mmorning to see if line was darker and wider than yesterday and it was negative
Continued with strange brownish discharge, some cramping and 1 spot of blood but no AF so feeling v confused and that the test yesterday was wrong. Going to the GP tomorrow am so I'm hoping they might help? I can't help but think I have got my hopes up too soon and am also wondering where is AF?????

amyboo · 03/03/2009 12:28

Thanks Joy27. I stopped taking the pill at the end of December, so this was my second cycle. Didn't really expect it to be so quick!

Joy27 · 03/03/2009 12:13

Congratulations Amyboo, that's fantastic!
Am I right in thinking you'd only just started ttc? So great to hear some good news.

amyboo · 03/03/2009 12:08

Thanks! I don't think it's sunk in yet....

bubblebell1 · 03/03/2009 10:16

Congratulations amyboo

amyboo · 03/03/2009 10:08

Oh, and congratulations fairyanne.

amyboo · 03/03/2009 10:08

Oh my God! I just got a bfp. A very definite bfp - dark line appeared in about 30 seconds!

Argh. Am shaking. This is scary!

bubblebell1 · 02/03/2009 20:02

joy im sorry, i have no idea why you could be gettin this... fingers crossed its late ovulation due to you bein ill and the stress of working away so you can bd tonight and tomorrow to make sure u catch that egg.

Joy27 · 02/03/2009 17:52

God, this is embarassing, but I've just posted a whole thread about it "out there" so may as well share here.

Having thought it was all over for this month, I'm suddenly inundated with EWCM. How can this be? Am on CD22, not 21 as I said earlier (oops), and was pretty darn sure I'd ovulated a good few days ago if not longer.
I'm not sure whether to be slightly worried or please? Should I be worried, do you think?

If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be writing on the internet about my cervical mucus I would have been horrified

Joy27 · 02/03/2009 15:06

Aw thanks bubble. I'm just stamping my foot a bit. Will be fine... as you may know, I have had a cosmic feeling about March for a while now, so maybe it's all part of the masterplan that will see us conceive next cycle

I'm glad things have settled down for you. Not sure about the EWCM- I've heard of lots of people who got pg straight after a miscarriage, so it's definitely worth putting in a bit of exerted effort right now, I'd say. I bet you are ovulating. The question is, can you resist the OPKs...?

bubblebell1 · 02/03/2009 13:06

Hi joy

im ok thanks... everything seems to of settled down quickly.. which i am really gratefull for. i think i would of fallen apart if it was a long drawn out process.

its been 2 weeks on wed since the bleeding started and ive started getting an abundance of ewcm. im not supposed to be using opks (according to my new relaxed approach)but i am sooo tempted to see if im ovulating. I dont know if you can so soon after a mc?

Dont beat yourself up about the lack of bding... we have done it once in a week and i dont think thats enough to get pg either!!
It only takes once.. if you time it well then who knows

i hope you feel better soon... sending a luvly box of chocs your way to cheer you up

Joy27 · 02/03/2009 12:41

fairyanne, congratulations, that's fantastic news! Brilliant! Fingers crossed for you too, Amy. Keep us posted.

Bubble, how are you doing? Has everything settled down physically now?

I am fed up as we've virtually no chance of having conceived this month thanks to a deadly combo of the UTI from hell and a work trip, as documented last week. I'm only on CD21 so have at least a week, prob 10 days to sit around waiting for period, and unable to even practice thanks to horrid remnants of cystitis.

My boyfriend thinks I am worrying about it too much and says it will happen. He very sensibly pointed out that if we were living on our own (which we will be in a few months time), we'd be able to bd much more frequently and have a better chance of conceiving.

But I want to get knocked up now!

bubblebell1 · 02/03/2009 12:12

congratulations fairy im so pleased for you

amy fingers crossed you get a BFP too

fairyanne · 02/03/2009 11:45

OK... so I took the plunge and used 2 tests this morning. one was a very faint BFP . the other was -ve . I thought I was seeing things but DH kept checking too and said there was definately a second line there (the test instructions say that is a BFP as not Clear Blue etc) and it wasn't my imagination playing tricks. At the moment I'm going with the BFP and hoping the line gets darker.....eeeeek!

amyboo · 02/03/2009 07:22

Hi guys! Still holding out with the not testing. Am now 6 days late and absolutely no sign of af. My parents are leaving tomorrow morning, so I'm intending to buy a test on my way to work tomorrow. I can't test while my parents are here, as Mum's like an FBI agent! I've already hidden any signs that we're ttc - baby books, folic acid, etc.... I'll let you all know the result of course!

fairyanne · 01/03/2009 15:23

ok....So my UCL is 29....now cd33...no AF but a bit of brown spotting (never red or pink), amount has varied (sorry if TMI). I have had cramps and feel sometimes like AF could start but it hadn't. I tested of Friday and BFN have been too scared/ nervous to test since (don't want to dash my hopes) as thought I would leave it till after the weekend if the witch doesn't make an appearance.....anyone else had similar?

Anyway Hi to everyone .
