Jump on board and join in the for some laughter, crying or even the odd ranting (whatever you need). There?s lots of , (caffeine free of course ) and chocolate, and more importantly, friendly ?ears?.

The thread moves fast so bob in and out as you please. Don?t be afraid to ask anything ? nothing is ever TMI!!!

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length
WFT cycle = what the f*uck cycle (cycle after mc but before first AF)
For more accronyms see here

Good luck to all ? The last one was a lucky thread for lots of people so here's hoping for lots more healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread

This is the previous thread

Stats to follow.

Sorry everyone for the humongous post....catching up after the weekend.

Chloe your link to your chart on FF did not work (neither of them) do you want to try again? What are the ff points you mentioned? Think you said you had 39?

cep how are you lovely? NO more bleeding I hope and having a completely boring and uneventful time of it I hope?

Glad you had nice night on Friday chloe a bit of bubbly and sing star sounds fab. And how did you apt with the consultant go?

Melies how is the bleeding? Have a look on ebay or amazon for some cheapie ovulation tests, much cheaper than supermarket.

hadrian yay to your +ive opk, hope you?ve been getting lots of swi in over the weekend.

Shorty as everyone else has already said to reassure you, I think it can take a while for your body to get back to normal. I think as you are testing negative it shouldn?t be anything to worry about. Sorry your gp was a bit sh*t though, I can?t believe s/he though ?I don?t know about that? was a reasonable response. EPU clearly no help either. I would say if in another 2 weeks you still have no AF or bfn you need to go back, but for now, sit tight ? I know its easy to say and how frustrating it is though x

at Oils who didn't make it to Monday!! I hope you are still being strong and not poas. Enjoy camping. I love camping but not this time of year in Scotland, you?re a braver women than me where are you in Scotland. We?ve booked a cottage on loch long (near helensburgh) for easter. Can?t wait, so in need of a break.

how?s the painting going? Hope all at home is ok xx

Ninu how is the symptom spotting going ? can?t believe you have gone off wine

Banana I thought your post about prolonged ewcm being associated to not ovulating ? like Iggly I had LOTS in my wtf for over a week. I also had a feeling I didn?t ovulate so what you said makes me think that even more.

Mumtum sorry about your bfn, maybe my link didn?t help. Its ridiculous though, every possible feeling must be listed on there!! Are you in your first proper cycle or your wtf?

mouse how are you today? Glad the eprc went ok.

Hiding about your bfn

I?m ok. Tired after a long (but fun) weekend. Didn?t temp on Sunday as didn?t get to bed (and I use this term very loosely as what I actually mean is the sofa which I had to share ) until 4 so would have been useless. Temped this morning, temp dropped so ff still hasn?t identified my ovulation date. Having said that I did have disturbed sleep again and slept on a futon and it was very cold! I am working on the basis that my ewcm and opk are reliable and ff is not ? in which case I am 3 dpo.

Right, better go and make dinner.

Thanks chloe, cep and mumtum for the advice...i have no idea when il be ovulating so just going to pack in lots of SWI and keep our FX!
Ive also stocked up on ovulation kits off ebay!

hope you've all had a good weekend :)

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I am going to start soon got bad stomach cramps and back pain now. Though have been feeling really sicky today so who knows. Hope you have a lovely time camping oli, hope it takes your mind off things for a while. X

Thanks all im away to pack good luck to all when i am gone I think there is going to be lots of BFP'S this thread!! I am going to get some tests more tests but with camping it might not make it "everything" IYNWIM

good luck olis and chloe and thanks everyone for the snacks, just wanted to ask you for some advice igot a faint positive opk today but had no instructions so im not sure how reliable it is as im in WTF cycle and would it be positive if i already ovulated? i will dtd just incase much to oh's delight so can i be moved to the ttc list please cep? thanks

layla did the line come up straight away? ie in 10 mins? How faint is it?you can sometimes have lh hormones throughout cycle so you can get a faint line even without ov. If it's quite strong but fainter than the test line it could be that your ov is on it's way.... Or that it was yesterday. I tested thurs and had medium strength line which turned strong fri and weak again sat.

Swi for the next couple of days just in case

evening all.

collie glad you had a good weekend, the thing with ff is that it's a tool, it's only as good as the info put in, if your temps are dodgy due to bad nights sleep etc, then can make result dodgy.

oli have fun, i havn't been properly camping in years.

layla not a problem, you have fun as well as far as i know once surge is done it would be negative. (but do not take my word for it, i have a hate hate relationship with opks.)

brooke and you ok am i the only one not having fun anymore.

right am off to watch one born every minute, and bed i am knackered. hope everyone is ok, and feeling a bit better.

OK freaking out very Faint BFP on a predictor so hope its not false i repeat the very faint but there part

OK 2nd test another very faint bfp both came up in two mins well i will just have to wait till i get home and test again hope its a big bfp by then and not run away.....

oli!!!!!!!!!! that's fab!!!!

woohoo olis sounds positive do another with fmu and let us know.
thanx cep
yes collie2 it was there within a couple of minutes but it was pretty faint ill be SWIing just incase and do another with fmu, thanx for the advice good night all x

WOOOO, fx for you oli

Yay olis!!!!! enjoy the camping, hope it's not too cold, you are a brave woman!

laylas it's best not to use opks with fmu bcos it's too concentrated, you're better off doing it later in the day a few hours after not drinking anything. It'll prob get darker over the next few days, enjoy!

Chloe hope you are feeling better x

Blackkat hope everythings okay at home x

I'm at work, working with the pg lady due when I was. I was so excited when I found out we'd be going thru it together, but she hasn't even mentioned it, I don't know how I feel about that tbh. I guess she's in a no win situation and prob doesn't know what to say to me but I kind of want some kind of acknowledgement. We aren't exactly best friends but I thought we were friends, now I don't know.

I'm still sort of bleeding cep, it's not like my usual af tho at all, more mucousy and light now. I bought tesco opks, £7 for 7, I know that's mire than online but they work for me.

Anyway, food time! Good night to anyone still up x

That's great news olismum

Meliesmum It's sad that your workmate has mentioned anything but she probably has no idea what to say without upsetting you further given the situation she is in now. I know it's no excuse but sometimes people deal with these things badly despite good intentions.

Cep I've watched a few baby/birth/midwife programs but I'm still not there yet for OBEM, this minute I get my BFP I will be on 4OD watching the lot

shorty Hope AF hasn't got you yet, how are you feeling today?

collie It sounds like you had a fun weekend too - do you think we ever grow out of kipping on sofas??!

Mouse Hope you are doing ok today

Iggly It's hard when you see babies that would be the same age as your own angels, I often fantasise about what mine might look like, would they be a boy or girl etc but I think that's completely normal.

Hiding to AF arriving, hope you had a nice weekend though despite the inconvenience.

blackkat Is everything ok at home?

ninu & mumtum Good luck if you decide to have anymore POAS action today. I know you said you wouldn't ninu but us addicts are always falling of the wagon

layla I would def just try to dtd as often as possible over the next few days to be on the safe side. OPK sticks haven't been that reliable for everyone but they have helped me this month.

Helloooo to everyone else.

Still BPN from me this morning All the 'symptoms' still there though, had another little episode of pinky brown mucus on wiping yesterday afternoon so not losing all hope yet.

Had a little wobble yesterday. Was cleaning for my nan and she had a 'congratulations on your great great grandaughter' card on the side and I binned a nappy and wrapping paper which had been left in the living room waste bin, my cousin must have been round that morning. I just couldn't help but think that should be me too Anyway, back on track again today.

Consultant said I could continue on Clomid for the next 6-8 months, hoping I won't have to but at least the option is there.

just a quickie to say oli congrats, a line is a line, especially when done so late at night.

chloe last night there was a woman who'd had 4 mc's finally giving birth to a healthy boy. sorry you had a wobble yesterday it's horrible when it hits especially when you're not expecting it. hope you're feeling better today. it's good that you have the option for clomid.

mel like chloe said she probably doesn't want to upset you. hope you're ok.

hello to everyone else.

In that case I may even watch it for inspiration.

Congrats oli, thats brill news. Still no af chloe, got bad cramps though so may come today but was still feeling sick this morning. Not sure if can get bad cramps if pregnant! Had an argument with dh last night cus he doesn't understand and have no one else to talk to as none of my family know. He thinks I am being impatient but its not him having to feel like this everyday. Not having a good day. X

It is possible to have cramps with pg, all of my pgs have begun with cramps and I know what you mean about feeling sick, cleaned out my nan's fridge yesterdaya nd had to stop to try and control the wretching so it didn't turn into vomiting, have done the same today at home whilst loading the dishwasher. I am def not normally this sensitive to smells but just not sure if it's all in my head!

Does this work for my chart?

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/334759

Good morning.

shorty I hope your day gets better x

Chloe the sensitivity to smells sounds promising!

The rest of my shift was ok. I was working on my own for most of it with the pg collegue, (the unit is split into intensive care, a small intensive care room with only 4 babies, that's where we were, high dependency and 2 nurseries) apart from drs going in and out and of course the babies but they don't chat much! So given that being pg is a huge part of her life ATM the subject came up a lot...it reminded me that I was meant to have my 16 week appointment next week and then the next scan...plus she was talking about what food she's missing, i was meant to be doing that stuff too! Im dreading watching that bump grow, altho I'm happy for her I wanted it for me too :(.

Anyway, it's bedtime for me so see you all later x

Yay for olis (sorry I have just realised at some point I started calling you oils ) a line is a line Hun, so it sounds like you're up the duff!!! : another bfp for the thread!!! Let's keep them coming!

chloe yes the link works. Your chart looks good, I think the dip you had Sunday could poss be an implantation dip. I lurked on thecommon room thread b4 their bfp's and stalked looked at their charts and their dip looked like that the nausea and sensitive smell is a good sign too. I am so hoping this is it for you x

melies sorry to hear about your pg colleague. I have exactly the same thing. Lady I work with on a few projects announced she was pg on my first day back after mc. She is a week ahead of my dates. Had to spend the morning with her last week. She doesn't know, but it still hard watching her belly grow, she's nearly 22 wks now.

I know what you mean about her not mentioning your mc too. I saw a close friend on Saturday who i haven't seen or spoken to since mc- not even a text to see how I am. She didn't mention it at all. Just made some naf comment to my dh about not finding out until late on, like it was common knowledge and she had been left out in the dark. Really annoyed me. If fact the whole mc has made me look again and who I thought my friends are.

I took 2 tests bfn to me with more concentrated urine although DH is convinced he can still see 2 positives either way it should have got brighter this morning. I am truley devestated maybe its just something these tests do :(:(:(:(

yay for olis I was feeling very down this morning hence popping on here whilst at work and this cheered me up straight away !!!

collie and melies i was lucky that no one at work knew and i havent had to deal with anyone very close to me announcing they are expecting the same date but i suspect i would be finding it very diffuclt having to deal with that , even when i watched Holly Willoby on TV i get the wash over me and i dont even know her !

I really dont know where my body is at ... Im afraid i have no will power and can only be defined as a dreranged POASaholic. I brought another 2 yesterday morning , did one and got a BFN and this morning again BFN. Boobs arent sore still no headache but DPO15!!!! actually due date for AF is today. Ive been having cramping for 4 days now which i dont usually suffer with before af and ive had lower back pain. but defo still no BFP and no idea what my temps mean i think this is the right link if any of you have any suggestions???

My Ovulation Chart

hope you all have a great day , to try and cheer me up my mum and sis and i are going wedding dress shopping this afternoon, ( Wedding not til april next year ! but we thought it would be fun

maybe it should have been this one .....

[url=www.fertilityfriend.com/home/33b8dc/]My Ovulation Chart[/url]

oops!

olis sorry x posts , did you use a different brand tests which highlights diff levels ( 15/25 etc )sensitivity can make a big difference hun x
