fingar's crossed for you shelley - xxxx

Hey girls,hope your all ok
Have tested yesterday in the afternoon and got another pale line,then did the same today and yet another pale line!?So who knows whats going on!!
Have now had three pale tests and each on looks stronger than the one before?Still no AF,have lower tummy cramps,but apart from that am good
How is everyone else?
Am going to leave testing now till the wkend to see if AF turns up in between time,don't feel very preg,but then again last time round didn't test till DH said 'have you had an AF yet?',and i hadn't even thought about it,so ended up testing about 3weeks after missed AF,and its only been 1 day over so far?
DH thinks i am but doesn't want to get my hopes up too much(naturally),it may just be that my body is trying to settle down after my loss,so who knows!!?...will def keep you all informed either way though.x.x.x

Hula I honistly believe that once you move everything will fall into place for you - it took you a while to concieve your dd so fingars crossed this one's not that far off.

Good luck then FD; hope your stay on this thread proves to be a relatively short one then

I start investigations next month

thanks hula - have decided it's now or never as we don't want a huge age gap between them we're settled in the house - we feel fiancially secured -So here's to lots of early nights

Er fairydust - where did I miss that you were TTC!!!! Fab news; fingers crossed for you

Sharp stabbing plans could well mean ov pains - looks like you need to be busy over next day or too

on cd14 today and had a sharp pain for a couple of hrs yestaday in my left hand side (lower down) could ths have been an ovulation???
hope all are well

charlee - MM's right I did get PG without AF coming and got the pos the day b4 my af would have been due had it been a 'regular' cycle. fingers crossed for u, but tbh we didn't even really BD it was literally 3 times (infact it's still only 3 times since the start of the bleedin on the 4th june - poor DH! (glad of the rest I think!)

MM - how r u honney?

debs - take the Angus on a full tummy and expect slightly shorter cycles. good luck for this month babe.

hula - glad u had a nice holiday.

Hi Ladies, not been around in nearly a year, currently serving at IVF clinic in Leeds, been there since April, (on and off), currently on Met, and just had 1st round of Clomid, but I don't get something, I ovulated on day 19 according to IVF clinic, they did ultra sounds on days 12, 14, 16, 18 & 20, they told me on my last ultrasound that I had actually ovulated on day 19 (just as well that we BD on days 14, 16, 18 & 19, just couldn't resist the moment). My question is, if you are supposed to start next cycle at 14 days after ovulation or there abouts, then that would have been yesterday for me. I have awful backache, but nothing else, apart from the odd twinge in my boobs. I did a 1st response pg test on Monday (couldn't wait), but that was BFN, Oh I really want to be, like all you ladies on this thread I guess!! I have even made some postcards on the computer with a cartton picture of a baby on the front, and on the back it says "DO YOU WANT TO HOLD ME", "WELL YOU CAN ON" and the date is left blank. This is the way we are going to tell everyone this time, by postcard, DD was conceived after 5 years of sub-fertility treatment, she will be 5 in 3 weeks time, I am a PCOS sufferer and was diagnosed 10 years ago, also suffering from endometriosis at the same time (which left me as soon as I fell PG with DD and hasn't reered its ugly head since . So my little story might bring hope to PCOS sufferers, otherwise sorry to go on so much!

Brought some Angus Castus yesterday and ordered a fertility thermometer so back on the ttc roller coaster.

Not had chance to catch up yet after weekend away. Quick summary since Friday night anyone?

Had a fab time in Dublin. MIL was bowled over with her suprise trip. Lots of eating, drining and fun Flight was a doodle - 40 minutes each way!

CD15 on month 12 now.

Generally you have to ovulate to stimulate a period IYKWIM after my ectopic surgery I had an AF 5 weeks after the surgery and know O ov'd about 3 weeks after the surgery.
HTH
Shelly, I am getting dead excited about your prospects!
successful very good luck with the implanted embryos too
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good luck Shelly! fingers crossed!

Sorry sucsessfull, af's are the pits.

Well i ahve stopped bleeding all together, does anyone know if i am likely to ovulate before my next af? i know im ment to wait but just in case?

I'm trying not to look at it too much debbsy!!!
Have decided to leave it now till friday when AF DEFINATLY show have shown or not,and test then using a proper digi test.Have got a load of early tests from the net,and am now wondering if they are any good!!
Oh well,only friday will tell,let you know then.x

not meaning to be cruel but i had 3 of those lines this time so it was bfp for a short time then af came could be evaporation lines what tests are you using ?? or could just be hcg level to low.Dont analyse the tests too m uch it will drive you mad,if no af test again tomorrow if hcg levels are there they will only get stronger xx check back in after 6pm

Its a pale soft edged line??

All the lines I've had after the ten minutes have been false positives, but I found that the line looks more like a crack, rather than a soft edged line, so examine further and ya know if in doubt well TEST again!

I'm not temping or charting now, it stresses me out too much, I keep a diary at home of pains, and dates etc
After being hospitalised last month with ovarian pain, I am unsure as what to hope for until that query is answered.I'm on day 16 now, think I@ve ov'd so we'll see, done plenty of bding this month which is unusual. Finger crossed.

AF STILL not here!!!.............
OMG!girls,i REALLY need some advice!!(i'll appologise for the waffling now!)
Ok...I've told you before that i got all those bfn's at the end of last week,so was pretty sure that AF would arrive..well it still hasn't!
Now when i did those tests i got thenm out the bin(yuk,i know but you know when you just want another look!),and they were def bfn's as there was only one line.
Well yesterday afternoon i was about to have a bath,and thought,'i'm gonna test again!',so did,but it was taking ages so left it on the side and had bath,got out,thought,'its gonna be a bfn,so i'll just chuck it'...It was still developing,but i chucked it in the bin.Then last nite i started wondering about it!So(as you do!)i got it out of the bin,took it into bathroom for better light,and theres a slight line in the pos window!!!!
It is a slight line,but you can see it,because showed DH and he could see it too!!Now DH has said wait acouple of days for AF to arrive,then to test again at the end of the week if it doesn't!
The only thing i worry about is that your not meant to read the tests after ten mins(but i did with all .)
With the first 3 bfn's,even when i looked back on them,they were def bfn's!Yet with this one there is a slight line in the window!?
I REALLY don't want to test again today,incase i get a bfn,and all my hopes go down the drain!!!
Does it sound like i could be preg!?(I wish i could show you the test!!),i've really got to chill out abit...i'm just dead nervous,what do i do!!?..............
So soz for waffling,hope everyone is ok(soz for being so selfish!),so sorry to successful
My fingers are crossed for you for the future.x.x.x

so sorry successful ((hugs)) xx

No need Debbsy - I'm joining your club today . AF arrived at 6.30am so at least I didn't waste a pg test.

I suufer from really bad PMT and feel terrible along with the fact I am not pg.

Well I think I shall be leaving the thread now. As my previous messages have said if af arrived this month I will be ringing the clinic to make plans to have my frozen embryos defrosted and emplanted.

It doesn't seem right being on a TTC thread when it has been taken out of my hands. I will ring then at 9am and my first instructions will be to start taking the contraceptive pill.

Good Luck to you all and I wish you all the very best, I will keep lurking to check on you all.

BFP'S RULE

and successful have you tested yet?? thanks mm xx

have you tested Shelley ?
