Hi all,

Brand new thread!

I started it so I must get a BFP before the end - them's the rules.

Beatles Rock Band is huge fun, good present PrettyV.

Still nothing to report from me, either symptomwise, RTD wise or positive wise. I am hovering in limbo land and have decided I miss counted my cycle and am really on CD29 rather than CD30. Although that still begs the question: where is my period?

Oi Bunder, no talking yourself out of this BFP. Enjoy it!

PrettyVuvuzela1 · 21/06/2010 09:11

BUnder that's amazing news!
Made up for you both.

Hoping this is the stickiest BUnderbean since Sticky the Stick insect was caught on a sticky bun.

MrG bought me Beatles RockBand to distract me during the World Cup cos he weeaaly luvvs me.
It's brilliant I love it!
What he didn't count on was me having my own very loud and untunefull party with my girls bastardizing his favourite songs.
SIL is coming to stay at the weekend from That London so we will have another good bash at it again then.
FIL and MrG are both excellent guitarists and FIL has played at The Cavern in his yoof.
His band name is on one of the bricks.

Just one of my many claims to fame

If I'm not updiffed this month I'm not quite sure how it's going to happen with the pissing football and me flailing aroung like Ringo Animal on the drums every opportunity I get.

I'll do a proper catch up laters as I'm in bed and can't scroll back much on iPod.

only the bravest and ballsiest use digi tests.... can't bear them myself. Those "Not Pregnant" displays... . Have had one "pregnant 2-3" also, but it's the NP I remember .

BUnderTheBonnet · 20/06/2010 20:55

I hopped strgiht onto MNet actually battery! (After I told DH). He's ringing his muum and dad as we speak. We'd just told everyone I was pg before the mc, and I actually felt relieved afterwards that they all knew, so we didn't see a reason to wait this time.

bunder also didn't mean to miss you off name check - I don't know what happened there! You have inspired me to order some digital tests

Crikey - it's quiet on here today. Right time for somename checking.....

digital and hopefully - Thanks for your words of wisdom and hope Even though I am day 29 today - I really dont feel pregnant, but still lots of EWCM, so despite OPK saying negative, I stubbornly believe that I am about to Ovulate
digital you go for it with the SWI, I know how it feels to be 'scalped'.The woman I go to for bikini waxing has seen me in more positions that my DP !
bessie I don't temp yet, but I do POAS - almost obsessively!!
jolls It aint over till RTD arrives, so fingers x for you xx
muse fingers x for Tuesday xx
freezing have a lovely time in Bonnie Scotland, enjoy all of your SWI !
magichen I agree with talking about it too x
Wave to BB and IVY and everyone else too.

I am exhausted after all that! I shall carry on POAS this week - all I need to choose is which one ....... OPK or preg?

Have a good week, I hope we have some BFPs this week xxx

barrenbrook · 20/06/2010 17:37

Afternoon all, sorry to read about all the BFN's and impending visits from the red one.

Jolls I used the progesterone cream on recommendation from my accupunturist too, worked last time round even though the bugger didn't stick again. Am back on it again now, can't hurt from what I have read. You should only been use it in the second half of your cycle though? (sorry if that sounds very suck eggy, )

Hopefully & Magichen I'm with you on talking about mc, more out in the open the better. It's helped me no end and it's surprising how many people say that it's happened to them. I don't know why it's so taboo, I'd rather people know than constantly ask "so when are you two having babies then?" all the time.

Hello to everyone else, 'spesh Cheepz thanks for the welcome back, have missed you all too chicken.

I've chucked myself back on the list as I've had what I can only assume as my first period after the ERPC, it was VERY light and lasted 5 days. I've turned the fertility monitor back on and am on CD7. Here we go again. Seconds out, round 4, ding ding!

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 20/06/2010 09:56

lol BUnder. True, true.

I've decided that, like some people suggested, I won't be putting my life on hold for TTC. Maybe, if I don't get pg in the next few months, but I get to start uni, I'll put the TTC on hold for a few months, but until then, it's all systems go.

3 dpo, but nothing at all seems to be going on.. I've been ridiculously irritable for the last 3 days, but that's just normal for me.
I don't think I'll even bother testing this cycle, I can't bear another BFN.

I'm sorry to hear about everyone's BFNs and RTD signs.. keeping everything crossed for you (apart from the legs )!

BUnderTheBonnet · 20/06/2010 09:33

Quote from fertility friend: "Testing too early may add undue stress and offer ambiguous results."

Smug gits.

Muser · 20/06/2010 09:22

So, it's CD29, and no sign of my period. Thought I had cramps yesterday and expected to wake up to it, but no. I did waver at the beginning of the month what to call CD1 and it is possible I'm actually CD28 still as CD1 was just a tiny bit of spotting. No pregnancy symptoms either. And yes I POAS this morning (well PIAP really) and BFN.

Hopefully · 20/06/2010 07:45

BFN this morning, only 1-2 days before RTD is due, with a first response, so i think it's safe to say it's a genuine BFN (had really strong positives by this time with previous PGs). So bloody pissed off. How can my body be so broken? Am ordering thermometer for temping today, as I think I want to use charting as a contraceptive after we've finished having children, so seems a bit more sensible than ovulation kit thingie (although if this carries on I'll be using ovulation kit and temping my September!)

Magichen I find I'm increasingly happy to talk about MC - I find it weird how often when I mention it that someone else has had either a horrible time getting pregnant or suffered one or more MC. I think it's a shame that it's such a hidden area that no one talks about, so I try to mention it occasionally to women I'm comfortable with, if the topic of conversation goes that way.

Jollster hope prog cream has done it's duty and you are upduffed!

magichen · 20/06/2010 00:09

hi girlies, sorry ive not been on for a while, been busy with work etc. hope you are all keeping ok and i'm sorry for those of you ladies feeling down and disheartened, i know what its like to get those bfn every month, (it took 11 months to conceive what went on to be my mc). Jolls my fingers are crossed for you! xx
Whoever does the list tomorrow can you put me as UCL 29 CD8,near the bottom I know so plenty of SWi next week for me!
So, was in tears again the other day, I got chatting to a relatively new girl in my work the other day, she was just saying how sorry she was on hearing my news of the mc and she proceeded to tell me she has had 3 mc's and has now stop trying. I'm struggling to understand it really, she is 40 this year and she stopped trying 18 months ago, says she couldnt do it again. I cant help but feel sorry for her, (and myself if i go on to have any more), I'm sure thats the last thing she needs but I could tell even after this time its still very upsetting for her. I'm glad she told me though, it felt like she needed to and I think we both felt some relief knowing we both know what its like. I've always been quite a private person but now coming round to the "its good to talk" idea!
