Daisy my fingers and toes are crossed for you. I like people with a plan... but won't it get tiresome with all the bding?? Look after yourself and I hope the gyno works out what happened with your 86 day cycle!

How's everyone? Jools? Are you doing OK?

I'm back from a lovely holiday where I had the most whopping period! 86 days between them. It only lasted 4 days, but my, it was taxing. Despite getting up every hour and a half to change gear, I still flooded all over a hotel bed . I've never been so embarassed in my life.

So. We are straight back to trying again and have gone for the sex every 2 days method. It can't hurt, can it?!

I have a trans vaginal ultrasound to look forward to on Saturday and an appointment with a gynacologist in a months time to try and work out what happened during my last cycle.

I have a secret hope that we'll see a brewing baby on Saturday - it'll be CD 26. Have I lost the plot?

kitty June is a lovely wedding month I would have picked June, but I didn't want to wait another year - so chose October instead.

wasabi At least I can have champagne on my anniversary! I think you are right about the conceiving after MC thing - I was so stressed when it hadn't happened in the first 3 months - but am feeling a bit better now - even though is now 5 months.. Hope your house sale all goes through ok!

cindy I think relaxing is something everyone should do more of! Glad you staying chilled

Oh Iggy congrats on your nearly 1st anniversary! I hope you have a lovely time celebrating. It's such a lovely anniversary - so special (says the veteran here coming up to her 3rd!). Keep the faith re ttc. You know that you can concieve. I get a bit annoyed with all this "you're more fertile after a mc" propaganda because it makes people believe that they should be able to concieve again immediately and that if they don't there is somehow something wrong. It took me 4 cycles but I truly believed that it would happen when my body was ready. Hypnotherapy helped me to calm down a bit. I was disappointed on the months it didn't work out of course but I think it helped me to stop feeling too negative which is my natural tendency.

Kitty Have a fab time planning the wedding - glad to hear its all progressing well.

Still waiting to exchange contracts, hopefully today.......

Hi Kittycat 261 days... what does that equate to a May wedding?

Iggy do not give up, it will happen, least when you it expect it to. I am holding up fine, just am worrying about all sorts but am trying to stay calm. I am having regular reflexology which is very soothing for me. You should have some done by someone who is training around maternity and fertility... it is amazing what they can do! I find that after my reflexology I am more relaxed. I am going to continue until I have this little bean. All the best for the 2nd anniversary at least you can have something to drink eh?

kittycatcat · 17/09/2009 15:30

Hello everyone
Just been catching up on your posts.
Hope your house doesnt fall thru wasabi and congrats on the scan

Wedding plans are coming along nicely. I get married in 261 days

Fingers crossed for BFP's next time i pop in x

wasabipeanut · 17/09/2009 13:47

Hi girls,

Yep, scan was good - thanks for asking C1ndy. Our little spaceman (well, that's kind of what it looked like) was seen kicking around and nothing out of the ordinary was spotted. DH and I were so happy and went to have lunch to celebrate and then got told the bloke buying our house was threatening to pull out as it was all taking too long (which has been due to issues with tenants at the top of the chain). That kind of brought us down to earth really

We're trying to rescue it but are just suspended in limbo at the moment so its all a bit crap. Obviously we were thrilled that the scan went well but this has really taken the edge off it. We'll now have to wait until next week probably to see if the whole thing collapses

Yellow I meant your BFP annoucement! Aaagghhhhh.

wasabipeanut · 15/09/2009 14:29

Sorry to hear that Jools - its so frustrating when you are late but still getting BFN's. I went there myself on a couple of occasions.

Yellow - I can't wait to see your BFN announcement in the new year!

Iggy Sorry to hear you are out for this month too. I'm sure your body will be ready to conceieve again soon. Try to stay positive although I know how hard it is at times.

20 week scan tomorrow. Feeling rather nervous.....x

Joolsiam · 15/09/2009 10:27

BFN today. Still no AF Still no PMT Boobs still very sore

15DPO today, so now officially overdue ..

aaarrrrrggggghhhhh

yellowflowers · 15/09/2009 09:57

how you doing today jools?

Good memory - am under specialist care at uch and my doc did say pregnant in new year so am full of hope. Just I want to manage it naturally before then - do you know what I mean?

x

Joolsiam · 14/09/2009 19:37

Sorry to hear that Yellow - just hold on to what your specialist said - didn't he / she think you could be PG by the new year ?

Still no AF here, sore boobs still and no PMT. If she hasn't arrived by morning, I shall test again .... I don't really feel PG now - fewer symptoms now than a few days ago.

yellowflowers · 14/09/2009 16:58

me too iggy - have crept back on this last week but trying not to come on so much because stressesme out. af started today so I'm out too for another month.

iggypiggy · 14/09/2009 14:16

Hello wasabi can't believe you that far along - feels like has gone fast - but prob not for you

jools still got everything crossed for you xx

yellow nice to hear from you - sorry you not got a bfp this motnh - but still time!

hello to everyone else!

AF arrived on Sat so am out for another month. Am trying to avoid coming on here too much - hence lack of posts - the obessing makes me insane...

wasabipeanut · 14/09/2009 13:50

Oh Jools I'm sorry to that. I guess at 13 days PO you should be getting a positive result if anything is there. Are you 100% sure of when you ov'd?

C1NDY · 14/09/2009 11:37

Jools sorry to hear AF may be on the way. You seem up beat and ready to go! here's wishing that next month will be your month.

yellowflowers I still have a long way to go... at week 10 now... so only a third of the way I guess can't wait to get my 12 week scan, I have been having dreams that I have imagined this pg and there is nothing there even though I had a 7 week scan. I just hope this bean sticks and is healty.

Joolsiam · 13/09/2009 13:40

I used a ClearBlue digi this morning, 13DPO and got "Not Pregnant", much to my amazement and disappointment. Still no sign of AF - although not due till late Monday, I normally get a bit of spotting and there has been nothing at all. Boobs are still very tender, but don't feel as full as they did a couple of days ago.

I'm guessing this has been a very very strange cycle but not successful - maybe an early implantation failure ?? If AF isn't here by Tuesday, I'll test again but I'm kind of resigned to the fact she must be on her way. I don't feel too bad considering - I think being busy at work and packing for hols on Wednesday is taking my mind off it. Am already plan next cycle's campaign - I'll get back on CD9 or 10 and hopefully DP will be pleased to see me
