Hello lovelymonster - fab to have you back.

So temp was high this am but rather than waste digital I did a cheap internet one - nothing, until an hour later when now the faintest line but can't decide whether evaporation or not as not really any colour so probably is. Bleeding is still only spotting but with some bits in.Grrrr - another day of not knowing.

Hi everyone!! Have been away for a while and funny i should have a check in today!!

Hope everyone is well, have not read back through all posts yet but wow lots of bfp's for a while there!

Well as for me I took January off ttc completely and had a nice relaxing month with no expectations of disappointment (although did have momentary panic of 'wasting an egg' when ov) but otherwise had a good month.

Then went for it like mad for Feburary. OPK, pre-seed, shagging like mad. Build my hopes up big time. Then Af arrived early having very light spotting from 8dpo. boo hiss. Was very disappointed as had such a good feeling about feb!
Oh well. onwards and upward.

Am hoping like mad that im pg by june thou, as the baby i mc would have been due then. I think it will be much easier to deal with if i am expecting again if you know what i mean. will have been trying for two years come may.

Have been putting off going for tests but think we will be looking at that very soon. Need to change gp first as our current one is a complete idiot.

So will update list and re-join the gang if thats ok.........

queenie1 · 25/02/2009 16:12

p.s. - forgot to say thanks for the welcome back. I've missed you all too!!

queenie1 · 25/02/2009 16:11

yellow - you shouldn't give up hope until AF properly arrives. after all, as you say, you're only 11 dpo. And don't worry about looking silly here - we all, at various points, bear our souls and our madness so you'd be silly if you didn't use this space to do just this. hugs to you.

wasabi - sorry to hear the witch got you. but hope you enjoy the gin! xx

yellowflowers · 25/02/2009 15:12

thanks everyone and big hugs to you too wasabi. Af still not here - just spotting still and only on day 11 max. who knows. Am not giving up hope, but don;t want to look silly for having hope if obvious to everyone else that it s af about to arrive x

Oh Yellow honey don't beat yourself up - we all convinvce ourselves to varying degrees every month that this could be it. One month it will be! Be good to yourself for a few days while AF vists and try and relax a bit and indulge that desire to curl up and eat treaty food!

Funtime - I assumed you preferred Plymouth for the same reasons I do! We are clearly gin afficionados - whether this is a good or bad thing is somewhat debatable.

Kyte - I'd be trying to keep up the action till after day 20! If you have any energy left that is

Queenie - welcome back! We missed you. Feel free to start symptom spotting and the like!

Well I'm deffo out for this month - to be fair that probably isn't a bad thing for me mentally or physically. I had that feeling this morning that my body was about to "do" something and sure enough the cramps hit a couple of hours ago and some spotting has started which will presumable turn to full flow soonish. Will update list as soon as I know for sure today is CD1.

Have consoled myself with mashed avocado on toast and will shortly be hitting the Green & Blacks! The gin will have to wait until tonight as DS is with his grandparents and will need to be retrieved later this pm!

flintski · 25/02/2009 13:02

oh yellow, you are being so hard on yourself! I know exactly what you mean about wishful thinking and we are all are own worst enemies for symptom spotting - i recognise the negativity but please take care.

yellowflowers · 25/02/2009 12:45

Okay, well this am I was still spotting, mainly watery brown and pink but this morning it was dark red so guess must be af on way. And did internet cheapie and got bfn. Have decided the following:

The twinges I am getting (like a stitch just above public line) must be wind

The sickness when hungry is because I am a big fat pig and needed an excuse because I fancied a bag of crisps

The metal taste (last night only) was because I ate a bloody steak

The tiredness is because I am, er, tired

The achey boobs are because I am poking them, as are the veins (which are only visible in the evening)

The nipple pain is because I was cold

The three days of quite high temps (still up this am) must be because usually I throw off a cover in the night but this morning I woke up with both covers still on me

Can?t believe I?ve been fooled by my wishful thinking again.

queenie1 · 25/02/2009 09:12

yellow - any news from you this morning?

Joolsiam · 25/02/2009 08:24

Kyte - I have a cycle that averages 27 - 29 days too.

Being one of those people that is lucky enough to "feel" ovulation, I've normally got a good idea when AF is due, as OV to AF never changes - it is always 13.5 days ! I have ov'ed as early as CD13 and as late as CD16, so if you are anything like me, I'd have your last BD on CD17, just to be sure

Yellow - don't want to give you false hope but I had something similar when I was pg with ds. I put it down to my nipples being really tender amd often being gentle with them was more painful than being a bit more harsh . I never thought that I'd admit to that bit of pg symptoms!

Wasabi - how did you know I prefer Plymouth to London?

queenie1 · 24/02/2009 17:40

Hi all - it's been a long time...me and DH have been away and got back a couple of days ago. Was great to get away from work and everything. We also managed to do loads of BDing which I was delighted about.

I'm CD 25 now. But judging my OPK's, I think I ov'd on CD 20 or 21 so still a bit of a wait to get through. Not feeling remotely PG (not that I would at this early stage) but I have had really bad stitch feeling on the sides of my abdomenen area. Anyone had this and ended up being PG?

I've skimmed through the posts but haven't been able to catch up properly as there is so much to read through!

yellow - I think it's sounding really positive for you. With your CP last month, chances are you are a bit more fertile this month. All my fingers are crossed for you.

Funtime / jools - sorry to hear witch has got you. funtime - keep positive and here's hoping that both of you get lucky this month.

hopeforbundleofjoy · 24/02/2009 14:25

heya all.not sure if i should test tomorrow or wait till sataday now with all the stress of moving i dont realy want to be carrying hevey boxs if i am. im always bloted in the last couple of days is that a good sign???

wasabipeanut · 24/02/2009 13:56

Funtime you are entitled to a maudlin post from time to time. Hell, we all are.

I do my finest ostrich impression every time I hear or see stats on conception. In addition to making me depressed about my own chances it makes me cross when I see all this "why you shouldn't leave it too late" crap. It may be a biological certainty but nobody ever has a go at the men do they? They don't say that men are being irresponsible by acting like overgrown teenagers for far too late in life do they? What the hell are we supposed to do? Drag them off the street?

And that will be Wasabi's rant for the day.

Hopeforbundleofjoy - good luck for moving this weekend!

Yellow - hmmm, well the nipple thing is new! Hope you're feeling ok. Its a bugger, the waiting isn't it? I was wondering about testing but then thought nope, there's no point in testing again yet. I will test at the weekend of nothing's happenned. The trouble is I can't say with any certainty that I am "late" because the 1st cycle after mc is always a bit funny. That said its now 6 weeks plus since it started and 11 days since I think I might have ov'd.

Who knows?

iggypiggy · 24/02/2009 12:08

yellow have no idea about nipple thing but do hope is positive sign

I am feeling a bit nauseous - must be in my head tho at 6 DPO... oh dear - am obsessing already...

I just heard that someone I know is PG. Am pleased for her tho cos she been trying for about 4 yrs and was on clomid.

yellowflowers · 24/02/2009 11:50

thanks jool - I teeter between optimistic and pessimistic. Hmmm - how you doing?

Here's something a bit embarrassing though and possibly tmi, but wondererd if anyone else had it. Two days ago (when the bleeding/spotting started), I just had overwhelming need that I needed my nipples sucked - not horniness in general, just really needed them sucked. Isn't that odd. My DH thought I was most odd!

Anyway is probably nothing and am still spotting so not getting hopes up (though I am, obviously).

sorry funtime and whatsfortea.

Bleeding is very odd and sporadic. Have some cramps but not like normal. Temp shot up this morning. Squinted at internet cheapie and can;t decide wheteher I was imagining faint line or not, and was after the ten mins anyway as fell back to sleep for half an hour, so still know nothing... thought about bringing some internet cheapies to office to try throughout day but decided that way madness lies. roll on tomorrow. DH birthday on Sunday - would be amazing to present him with a positive

I too have hopeful fingers crossed for yellow and wasabi

I have no news... have been continuing with BDing, but not quite managed every day! Am CD20 now - so am guessing am actually on the 2WW... if fertility friend is to be believed then am 6DPO - so clearly nothing so far..
