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

...with optional fish slapping

mummyabroad - no wonder you're fed up, I can't believe AF is making you wait this long when she has so rudely turned up to dachs and sunchild without so much as an invitation, she is truly evil. Just looked at your chart - is it 20 days since ov? How about next month you give me 5 days of your luteal phase then we'll both be about right? . On the plus side though it does look like you've had a dip in temps so hopefully that will come to something...obviously would be better if it was a bfp though...

more verses....

The test has only one line
That means its BFN
I?ll have to wait till next month
And do it all again!

OR

The test has got TWO lines
That means its BFP
Sign me up to grads list
I?m happy as can be!

Thanks for looking at my chart Izzy, I'm very convinced I am not pregnant, because of the blood test.

Velvet LOVE the little ditty :)

MummyAb I think your period has absconded with mine. I've just compared my chart with yours using the overlaying doo-da on ff and they're very similar - only I'm 7 days behind you in the 2ww. All the signs (cm) etc point to ov and there was a clear thermal shift. Surely if the egg is released but not fertilised then the lining of the uterus has to shed at some bloody point soon? Unless ff has got it all wrong?

I'm 13dpo (so guess still a wee bit early) and I used to have 26 day cycle. I guess it's all up in the air now though. Pants! FF says to test again on Wed if no AF. I think if it drags on I'd be tempted to go to the doc and see what they say - maybe take your chart?

I was convinced AF was going to arrive this morning - especially as had dd's swimming lesson (swimming always USED to guarantee a period) Plus, forgot to take pair of knickers to change into (surely that would've been another perfect opportunity for it to to arrive?!) so had to try and wiggle into jeans under towel without anyone wondering why I was going 'commando'.

Forgot to say MA that the dip in temps does look promising (in a pre-menstrual kind of way)

MA do you have on your big WHITE Grannybashers?

MummyA I would also concur that the dip in temp means that RTD is on its way. That's what it means for me in any case. I cannot believe what you've had to put up with, I would have gone mad. As Nickster suggests, get whities on!!

Hope you are all doing well girls depsite what TTC is throwing at you x

Love the poem/song Velvet and Mummya!

to tempting AF with big white pants/no pants at all. Hope it works.

All's much the same here. My private referal for another scan is proving even trickier than NHS (so much for the gp referring me privately so I wouldn't have to wait...) have now put referral letter in the post (as fax machine apparently refuses to deliver it and they can't possibly open an email attachment, that would be way too hard for a private hospital. Did I mention I am paying for the privilage of being messed around like this?!?! ). So when they get the paper copy tomorrow, then they will [might?] call me to discuss arranging an appointment.... grrrrr.. Sorry for the rant. Just fed up for being uncomfy. And I don't think it's worked this month. My temps don't seem to be rising :( Grump. Grump. Grump.

I don't think I'm very good company on Mondays. Sorry

feeling "odd" over last 24 hours. Boobs are more painful than usual. Took paracetamol so that i could forget about it, it helps to not obsess.

Af due week Tuesday i think, but im knicker checking now for af, expecting it early.

worked out we have been inadvertently trying for about 10 months, no contraception, not dating or anything like that just forgetting about it. Nothing.

Really trying from this month, so it widens the posibility.
fingers crossed.

sore boobs sounds promising laloony

I've been knicker checking all weekend, AF was due Sat night, but has not shown up (hurrah!) and I have another three positive tests to prove it :)

Beta HCG test done today, results Thursdsay.

Am totally bricking it but trying to stay positive.

And if I make it to seven weeks, I'll get an early scan :)

Hurrah Hairy! Glad it's going well.

Ooh hairy everything crossed for you, all the very best xxxxxx

How long are you all waiting for AF? I MCd end of July and no AF yet (though I'm TTC anyway!)

Silly I mc'd on 31st July, ERPC !7th Aug, still no AF.

I mc'd on 31 MARCH ERPC 7 July, still no AF

wiggle I wanna play with the FF overlay dooda thingy. I have lost the link to your chart though, can you post it please?

FF kept moving my test date by the way, but now that I have gone below the coverline it has reset DPO to 1 and told me not to test at all.(might as well have just slapped me in the face with a fish)

I think I am starting to realise what was printed clearly in huge big letters all along that FF results arent foolproof and interpreting them is dead tricky. I havent given up on the whole thing though - stay strong, keep the faith!

owlshoes thanks for the men in uniform, cheered me right up!

nickster hope you are feeling better now. sorry to hear about the infection.

Hairy good luck for your HCG results xx

Thanks for everyones input re: chart, knickers, and stuff you are all helping me keep that last bit of sanity alive! xxx

Mummy I haven't posted my chart on here yet, not sure I even know how to. I'll have a look if I get chance later (Lord knows I've explored every other nook and cranny on that website!) Starting to spot a bit now though and feeling rather crampy. Watch this space...

Hairy FX for Thursday x

Evenin' all.

Hairy FAB sounds good, FX for your HCG. Too laloony sounds promising! silly i MC confirmed Aug 10th 2010 @13 weeks since last period, and i got my af on 20th Sept 2010. I MC naturally tho, and it takes longer for body to return to norm after EPRC so am told. MA try to relax?? a watched pot and all that. Can you go for a massage or acupuncture or something - the more you think about it the longer it will take? I so wish i would listen to my own advice?!?!!? Im sure i delayed my AF every month we were trying cos i was getting so stressed about my cycle length.

Wiggles hoping its implanting - BURROW BURROW BURROW!!! Eat lots of brazil nuts, it worked for hairy

Velvet i do think you had too much time on your hands not SWI'ing this weekend sadly, but your rhyme cheered me up no end.... rough day today and le scamp being a monkey at bedtime!

Hi to all
fab verse velvet & mummya

hairy laloony Ooooooooh sore boobs & no af....magic fingers crossed

hope all you ladies get your af soon. it's still very early for myself but still driving myself mad.. & all sex is def SWI. It's the total uncertinaty and second guessing of what's going on....forsure we need to keep the faith XXXXXXXX to all

Nickster Implanting 13dpo? Is that possible so late? I had temp dip at 11dpo. I've been thinking it's more like AF at this stage in the day...

DH has just walked through the door from work and conversation went something like this:

Me: Hi hon, how was your day?
Mr.W: Good thanks, how was swimming?
Me: Do we still have some Brazil nuts in?
Mr.W: What sort of a question is that?

Wiggles dunno - dont temp! Need to check the stats! Whats 13 dpo? saw spotting and thought woo hoo.... if not af!

Ignore me - i am just dum

My conversation went something similar... without the nuts tho x

13 days past ovulation!

sorry wiggle, I thought you posted your FF chart here, maybe that was Izzy then? So how did you do an overlay? (if you do want to post your chart, you go to SHARING on left hand sidebar, then HOMEPAGESETUP copy the URL in the box at the top but dont forget to to ADD CHART first.) Cramps? FX for AF !!

Nickster FF and TCOYF the two gods of Fertility say that stress delays ovulation, but once you have ovulated your luteal phase is always the same (max 16 days) so either:

a) my gods are false gods
b) I WILL get my period tomorrow
c) I have an abnormal luteal phase ??!!

Anyway, not much chance of lowering stress levels just yet - My CAT scan is booked for Wednesday morning (fear icon) but at least I have gone out and bought extra chocolate rations to get me through tomorrow.

isnt that 2ww? last time i cinceived before which then mc, we shagged on the monday day 18, and i got implantation bleeding 15 days later,,, mmm maybe it is a bit early..maybe not - i have a long cycle!

MA you have it all going on with your body at the min... at least you are rewarding it regardless with lovely chocolate. despite my craving, tonight i feel like depriving my body of it and being cruel!!!

I dont know about the stress thing, i always thought the more i stressed about it the longer my cycle was. maybe it was my imagination!! Keep your chin up toots. IF it doesnt arrive in next few days, what will the doc suggest? I really need to educate myself with FF and temps as i dont understand, could be a long LF? sorry not much help.

Feeling a little pathetic tonight, my babyloss ribbons arrived, and for some reason seeing their literature Empty arms, shattered dreams just broke me :(

MA I clicked on your chart and then 'overlay' box at bottom. I'm assuming it was my chart that it overlayed! Good luck for Weds. Sending lots of 'get-a-move-on-af-vibes' to you
