A lovely place for those either lurking, waiting, WTFing or SWI after MCing...

...with optional fish slapping

So sorry Dach, big hugs xx

Sorry AF arrived Dachs Boo, boo and thrice boo.
Crappy day here today after yesterday's sunshine. Feeling a bit glum too. Took a double POAS whammy earlier - pg test and opk (impressively, from same toilet visit!) Both BFNx2 but just wanted to know what was going on. Think I'm 12DPO but teensy bit of ewcm earlier which is why I did opk. Apparently it could be an oestrogen surge before af arrives. Who was it that coined the term 'arsecrackers'?

Sorry for moany post. It's gone v quiet on here this weekend....

That should read BFN x2 (not both bfn x 2) I didn't PO4S!!

Well thats me out of the game for another month :( Was and still am so so gutted. Really had pulled out all the SWI stops this month and was sure we must have got there :( (also must be a board record in too early pointless poas-ing though. 2 cheapies and 3 FRER, I hang my head in shame :( ) Cried lots and lots yesterday and consoled myself with a steak dinner and copious amounts of red wine, which didnt really help much.)

I don't understand why my quest for #3 is so hard, as have have been knocked up easypeasy in the past. (I know others have it worse etc, but please indulge me, Im feeling pretty low.)

Sorry for not name checking everyone, the board seems to move so fast I have trouble keeping up.
Have updated my stats sorry if I mess it up..

Ah bum, sorry to all you ladies who didn't strike it lucky this time around. It's gutting every month whether you feel you've done everything possible or whether you're wishing you did things differently. Aye well ladies. Indulge yourselves for a bit, mope or wail. Well be here to pick you up when you're ready.

As a virgin opk-er I need some advice! I have done 1 every other day for 10 days and they were all negative. They were very cheapy ones so could it be they were just shite or are they usually pretty accurate?

Hiya lady chatter chums. So sorry that the old bitch turned upfor you too sunny.....i totally understand and do get your frustration!

laloony big decision going for it again. i admire your strength. Bee, Izzy, Apples thanks for the uplifting comments about my weekend news. Feeling ok. glad i got checked, even if it does make me ask...was it my fault etc etc....more than i did already. Things i notice arent quite right down there, & i think thats why AF has been such a bitch this time.... hope that relaxes you MA (where are you anyway this weekend?) Mamap where are you too?

The infec the ABs are treating are not an STI, its i think (from google) called Bacterial Vaginosis, just a bacterial infec living on the cervix, which hey guess what can cause early mc. Have no idea whether i had it before TTC, or if its arrived after the MC...will never know now so i have to not dwell and look forward...and try to look at the positives.

Teacake best of luck for tomorrow. Thinking of you stay strong xxxx

xxxxx

velvet i am a bit of a virgin with them too, i find it hard to interpret whether they are the same or darker (i used tesco) and i find myself making up the answer i want to hear!!! Hopefrully an experienced POAS'er can tell you x Hoping you managed to SWI on board x

Velvet I've never had a positive opk either (had ewcm and ff recorded ovulation a couple of weekends ago but opks all negative) If I'd relied just on OPKs alone I would prob have missed my window of opportunity as kept thinking I was in fertile patch only to get BFNs from them (and consequently getting quite disheartened and not swi as a result!)

From what I can gather, the LH surge can be quite short-lived and a negative opk in the morning can turn into a positive in the evening. (Apparently lunchtime is best time to test though)

If you get a stash of cheapies you can widdle to your heart's content. I've got a load from Amazon and now have a pile of plastic cups next to the loo too (much to DH's horror) TBH I don't hold much confidence in them, I think i prefer temping - athough they do allow you to satisfy those POAS urges!

Sunchild Big hugs (and another glass of wine) It will happen again x

Teacake Hope all goes ok tomorrow

dachs sorry about AF. (think of the red wine you can have for the next week at least though!)

laloony thinking of you, you brave lady!

I was on here 2 nights ago writing a long message about how i haven't been too chatty and apologising for just showing up and moaning! anyway, damn computer caught a virus and wouldn't let me post it!...so i huffed until tonight when DH restored it!

(asks shamefaced - what does AF actually stand for? i mean, i know what it is and have been refering to it in my posts, but AF???? - retreats under table to blush quietly)

Silly It's 'Aunt Flo' as far as I know.

Hello,

Welcome to brownb, lalooney, teacake sorry you all find yourselves here, hope its a quick road to recovery and BFP's for you all

Not been on much as have just been feeling so mental that I cant even think of fresh things to moan about

I had no idea the first 2ww would be this bad, feel like I have had my soul yanked out bunged in a washing machine, put through a mangler and then chucked off a cliff! Its exhausting, terrifying, confusing and humbling and worst of all, not bloody over!

FF has been saying I should test for pregnancy or get the tampons out for days now, once again it says I might get AF tomorrow which would make everything make sense and mean the end of one very fucking long mc.

Sorry I have missed a lot of your news, will read back and catch up with you all later.

Time difference means you will all read this tomorrow morning, so have breakfast on me.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sorry, hello to lolly too, dont we grow in number fast!

Arsing Fucker?

Dont worry silly im not too up with it either. MA sorry the old bitch hasnt turned up yet/or that ever longed for BFP
I hope you get either one very soon.

Sunnny I too got knocked up with 1 strike 2nd month of trying with my DS then the last time it look 4 months of getting it right, but only again with 1 strike. I didnt use OPKs and have only ever relied on EWCM and twitchiness. If i had temped it would have taken less am sure.

right, just gotta sort out recycling, get DS up and into nursery then off to a meeting in birmingham... see you all later xx

Morning all

sunchild - sorry she got you too . It is very disheartening when you feel like you've really pulled out all the stops isn't it? Hopefully things will work out this month x

mummyabroad I can't believe you're still waiting for AF/BFP, that must be so stressful! Hope one of them arrives before too long - sometimes your body can be so cruel to you!

As for me - well I finally got a CBFM peak yesterday, so yay for that as it is a huge relief to be ovulating again, but I'm slightly concerned that it prob means I'm ov-ing today (day 18) with only 10 days left to go. I know that's not necessarily too short but would really like a bit longer - anyway have been taking a general vit b complex but think I'm going to swap that for a higher dose straight b6 in a desperate attempt to squeeze a few extra days out of the luteal phase (it is b6 I want isn't it?).

Good morning everyone.....here's hopeing we all have a good week.
tunnocks thinking of you.. Hope everything went smoothly & you had sympathetic and careing people looking afteryou.. I sat on sofa for first week couldn't even eat drink or do anything that I enjoy... It takes time but you do come round...with quite a few bumps on the way....fingers crossed well all be on the ttc list very soon xxx

wiggle thanks for putting us on list not 100% how it all works or means.. But think I should read
TTC #2 mmc 6th sept erpc 7th sept. So trying to conceive 2nd baby.....etc I have a wee boy who will be 4 on 8th oct
what's the w of wttc?
Broadband still out so don't dare update myself!

SORRY to all who got ther AF it's such a crushing feeling when it arrives ESP when you've been trying & hopeing so hard HUGS TO YOU ALL...
yeah sillyness I had no clue what af stood for....

mummya cheers for lovely fruit..... O how I wish....as I eat rather stale toast..cupboards bare...pay day 2morro yippie...
So sorry you've had such a terrible time....BIG BIG HUGS to you here's hopeing OCT will bring all our
DREAMS xxx

off work & ds off school today so nice and relaxing morning... My sis is over from Glasgow with her CRAZY twin girls so off to visit them at my mums!!!!! Will check in later

Urban w = waiting ttc

just marking my spot on the new thread (it's already 7 pages long ) - you ladies can't half chit chat

tunnocks - thinking of you today. Hope you're ok x

Thinking of Tunnocks too. Hi to all. Dachs I'm so sorry AF arrrived :(

nickster feeling slightly thick right now!!!

Charting question!!

Where the bloody hell is my period??

Defo not preggas because I did a blood test and temps have now dropped, but no AF!!!!!

Can anyone reassure me that is WILL come tomorrow? If not I am breaking out the progesterone and phoning Guiness Book of Records to see if I can get in for having the longest miscarriage in the history of the world.

PS Velvet , have you tried checking your cervix yet? Bit scary but a great way to know when you should start doing OPK's twice a day (I agree with wiggle that with only once a day you will miss the surge)

Dach sorry about RTD, you do seem to have mighty quick cycles though (or does it just seem that way from my current perspective?) Big hugs for you xxx

Izzy I took B6 this month, regretting it now as I dont want a really long luteul phase. (see chart) Should have waited to see if i needed it first. bugger. I took 50mg, once a day, but have since read taking smaller amounts twice a day is better. Take it with a mulitvit as all Bvits better absorbed when in combination with other bvits. (you can bite both capsules in half and take one lot in the morning and one at night)

Hi all

Sorry to hear your mc is goin on for so long MA. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

I'm not going to be opking if its twice a day - I have neither the time nor the funds for it! Just thought I would try it out this month to see if it coincided with when my period tracker says its meant to be.

Anyway, I'm off sick today with 2 different viruses which are going round at school :(
One is a sickness thing and of course I'm not symptom wondering!!

While not being able to SWI on the barge I made up a little ditty for us. Please feel free to add verses if you think of them.

My temeperature is rising
I check it everyday
I'm popping to the loo now
Please pass the OPK

Where is my darling husband
Its time to SWI
I don't care if you don't want to
The eve of ov is nigh

I'm feeling very nauseaous
I'm definately off my food
I'm getting really tearful
And it's NOT A PM MOOD!!!!

My boobs are getting tender
Although AF's not yet late
I'm busy googling symptoms
I can't stand the 2 week wait!!

Peeing on a sitck now
I want a BFP
Yes, alright you've guessed it
I'm calmly TTC

Velvet

love it!!

I think this should be printed on every OPK/HPT kit! Or made into a greeting card for TTCers!

Do know that on Amazon OPK kits cost 5 pounds for 25 tests? I can understand if you want to avoid them though, I have decided they either give you a fasle sense of security and make you stop SWI too early or never give reliable enough results and have you going at it until you collapse in a heap of exhaustion! I DO think they are worth it if you combine it with other methods though, that way you can cross check info OR just shag everyday!!!

Afternoon darlinks :)

Tunnocks hope you are okay, lovely; am thinking of you x

MummyA I don't know where evil AF is but I've sent out a military search party so hopefully they'll find it soon - is so bloody awful not knowing where you stand, isn't it.

velvet my, you did have a lot of time on your hands on the boat Hope you're less ill soon, school in autumn term is like a plague pit.

Hello everyone else :)
