Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Well, clearblue showed negative this morning. No AF and no change in symptoms Confused

eaglewings · 14/10/2010 10:00

hang in there Katz could still be possible!

I've 5 days to go until AF is due but already I'm filling the e cups that I'd slimmmed out of! Either I've put on weight or some hormones are in play, just which??

Will not buy any tests this month until I'm late, well maybe as I live so far from the shops that would mean an extra journey, so maybe I should......

let us know how you get on in the morning katz

MadKatz · 15/10/2010 07:14

Today is CD29. Woke up at 1.30am with heart burn, cramping and a desperate need for the loo, so plenty of good signs!! But negative cheapy stick this morning (again)
If I get to Wednesday without a BFP or AF that will equal my longest cycle since coming off the pill........but I just want to know!!!!

lizandlulu · 15/10/2010 13:17

its awful isnt it, the not knowing. all sinals sound good though!! (might not feel good, but you wouldnt mind if it was all FOR something)

which clear blues did you get? are they the ones which can tell you if you are pregnant and how many weeks? or do they do more than one sort?

i have been thinking of you all morning, but am at work so couldnt get to the computerAngry

MadKatz · 15/10/2010 15:02

Hi Liz
I just bought the normal clearblue not the digital as they are loads of money. The ones I got just give a you a cross if you're PG or a line if you arent.
I'm just a bit fed up and a little bit concerned as well - if it isnt PG what is it?

MadKatz · 15/10/2010 15:02

I forgot to say, thanks for thinging of me Smile

GruffaloMama · 15/10/2010 17:34

Hi MadKatz - oh very frustrating for you. Are you temp charting? Hope you get a good BFP very very soon.

Lizandlulu sorry to hear about AF. How are you feeling now?

Eaglewings - boobs (and CM) were the first thing I noticed with my DS. Keeping everything crossed for you. (It won't be easy cycling home but I'll give it a go.)

lizandlulu · 15/10/2010 22:05

hiya, gruffalomama i am ok, this af has been unusaly heavy though. i am going to new york in just over 2 weeks and af will be due the day after we come home, so i am gutted that i wont be able to buy any nice baby things while im there. but cant be helped i spose.

lizandlulu · 17/10/2010 19:05

any news either way madkatz?

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 08:43

Hi Liz

Negative Clearblue on Saturday and was still have cramps all weekend, but started bleeding at 3pm yesterday, although its not been anywhere near as heavy as a normal period and still have cramps this morning. Am going to try and get in to see a doc today just to see what they think and get some general advice.

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 12:10

Hi All,

Just come back from the Doctors. She thinks Ive had a chemical pregnancy Sad.
Oh well, at least I know I'm ovulating and we're getting that bit right. Now waiting to try again

lizandlulu · 18/10/2010 15:46

is that where your body thinks it is pregnant but not? can you carry on trying or have you got to wait?

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 15:54

its where your fertilised egg doesnt embed and comes out with a late period

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 15:54

We just have to carry on

lizandlulu · 18/10/2010 17:20

well keep going, its so disheartening. i was talking to a friend i hadnt seen for a long time who is pregnant and got pregnant by accident. had to stop myself from kicking herGrin

BabsH · 18/10/2010 18:02

Sorry to hear that MadKatz, fingers crossed for next month :)

I keep seeing pregnant chicks all over the place too, sickening!!!

KLou111 · 18/10/2010 18:06

Hi all, Back from hols

Firstly though, A BIG FAT CONGRATULATIONS to those with the BFP's! Very Envy but so happy!!

Had a great time, been just catching up with all the news on here since I left.

Well, I didn't have sea sickness, or sadly any 'other' sickness while away, but I had 1st 'proper' AF start on 5th October since withdrawel making my 1st pill-free cycle 35 days.

Was gutted, as I took a test on the Sunday and AF on the Tuesday :(

DH and I are at it like rabbits, at least every other day (sometimes twice in one day to double our chances Wink) sorry if TMI!!

We're both now desperate for it to happen sooner rather than later as it seems EVERYONE we know is either pregnant, or has kids.

Looks like bar the odd one, we're pretty much all still in the same boat, but WE SHALL WIN EVENTUALLY!!

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 19:48
