I started another bus! I can't believe we got full so soon :o

From the last thread:
"He has said - 'no gym, no sex' - that'll do it!"

:o

OMG I love your DH, he sounds hilarious :)

I came off the pill end of Jan and had first proper PF 27 Feb, sp 35 day cycle. So this is only my second proper one since being off the pill.

Was always like clockwork before the pill, but am now terrified that I must have some underlying PCOS or something.

Oh, I am feeling sorry for myself Sad

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 12:10

maybe-why dont you get a clearblue digi test?

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 12:19

orange-you have me thinking re the cs thing ... i had dd 9 yrs ago by cs and if im not succesful this mth i will be on my 15th cycle!! im thinking something is really wrong as me and dp have surely hit the right time at times-i e used opk's since october!! im not hopeful :( i have period bloat and pain,which means nothing i know but i distinctly remember very very sore breasts with dd1 and i havnt... swi every night bar 2 from cd7 to cd16 this mth and im getting fed up :-( not due till any day sunday-thurs really but im guna test sat morning,get it over with,on to cycle 15 dragging my feet -sorry for depressing post,i just feel like i am staring at the phone so much that its never going to ring xxx

Tanif · 07/04/2011 14:05

maybe that sucks :-( maybe it was a chemical? I think my cycle is messed up as well. We're in the same boat remember, our bodies have had to deal with getting rid of fake hormones, pregnancy hormones and miscarriage in a relatively short space of time so we should probably cut our poor bodies some slack, rather than assuming they're doing something horribly wrong :)

maybebabyR · 07/04/2011 14:20

Haha, you are so so right tanif

I just threw a wobbly earlier Grin

Feeling more level headed now though. Thought AF was coming, as had some pink goo, but now nothing.

Glad I have someone to moan at though Grin

I was considering a chemical too, as I don't know the likelihood of having 2 dud test on consecutive days. Ho hum, onwards and upwards Smile

sevendwarves · 07/04/2011 14:40

maybe please stay, I hope you're feeling better now. Remember though it isn't over until AF shows up. I was uncertain about boots tests a couple of cycles ago, they showed negatives but the control line wasn't remotely central in it's window.

I was weak and POAS this morning, another BFN. Will test again on Saturday if still no AF.

I'm feeling a bit low today, the not knowing is driving me mad. Of course I'd rather have a BFP but if not I just want AF to arrive so I can get on with the next cycle if this one's been unsuccessful!

maybebabyR · 07/04/2011 14:46

I so know what you mean seven

I want to know either way, good or bad! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I keep thinking AF is going to show, but she bloody doesn't.

So I have decided I am going for a run in the sun when I get in, and am going to have a nice glass of wine Smile

Tanif · 07/04/2011 15:17

I don't want to test. I'd rather carry on thinking I might be than know I'm not, silly as that sounds. Thankfully, DP is supportive and knows how I feel so he's not pressuring me to test.

seven I relate totally to what you're saying. If there's no baby there, I'd quite like AF to just show up so I can get on with the next cycle. Although I was reading somewhere that there's no such thing as a late period, just late ovulation, so even if it's negative now, hope isn't lost.

maybebabyR · 07/04/2011 15:24

That is very true tanif Thank goodness for you and your positive vibes Smile

xstitch · 07/04/2011 15:30

I know how you feel seven I have been there.

sevendwarves · 07/04/2011 15:59

That's true tanif, although unless my body is playing tricks on me I know I ovulated 18 days ago as that's the only time this month I've had ovulation symptoms.

DH said if I keep getting BFN's perhaps I just won't have AF this month Hmm. I had to correct him that no AF means no ovulation until AF finally decides to arrive!

maybebabyR · 07/04/2011 16:11

I am the same as you seven I am convinced I ovulated. 20 days ago by my calculations!

Tanif · 07/04/2011 16:11

It's frustrating, isn't it? I'm convinced I ovulated 16 days ago and nada. Maybe hcg is taking a while to build for you seven?

weimy · 07/04/2011 16:33

Tanif, Maybe & Seven I still have fx for you :)

spidookly · 07/04/2011 17:05

"I don't know the likelihood of having 2 dud test on consecutive days"

approaching 0

maybe what tests are you using now that are giving you BFNs? Are they the same kind as you got BFPs on?

Ring your doctor. At my GP's surgery you can drop in a sample of wee and they test it for you.

fx for seven and Tanif

Thanks weimy and spidookly.

I've just randomly added pregnancy tests on tomorrows Tesco order :o

orangehead · 07/04/2011 19:39

Sorry your feeling down maybe but it not over yet.
I did wonder micky if they were ov pains.
Good luck Thinking for tomorrow, I be thinking of you.
dollysgirl have you been to the docs?

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 21:16

hi orange! yes ive had the day 2/21 tests,im waiting for dp's sperm count to be done before we can be referred ( hes taking forever to do it,and until today i havnt nagged!) i just kept thinking its due to me being on depo jab for 8 yrs on-and-off and it will happen,but next mth its 2 yrs since my last jab... ur post really caught my eye; i really need to get that referal dont i :-/

micky-def sounds like ov pain,some of my friends get quite strong ov pain-notably the thinnest of my friends feel it more im not sure if its connected!

maybe-you def need to go docs or do a digital!

fx seven and tanif,why does mother nature decide to show an evil streak when you are ttc!! grrr

orangehead · 07/04/2011 21:31

Have you had results of blood tests yet?

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 21:42

yes-although i had to speak to doctor over the phone as i couldnt get an appointment before she went away for 2 wks,and wasnt willing to wait that long!! she said all normal,slightly high progesterone but marginally higher and nothing to worry about... the point is,bcos i was at work,infront of my whole team,i couldnt ask the q's i wanted to, like does that mean i ov'd and if so what day... i dont even know if she could answer that from the tests but she said its good news as all normal,but bad cos it gives us no answers, so i am to be referred to fertility clinic when dp's sperm count is back.i was an optimist so just kept trying... now i feel it will never happen-i almost cant imagine myself with a baby-daft i know; esp when i have 1!! Xx

sevendwarves · 07/04/2011 21:43

thinking your consultant appointment was today wasn't it? Hope you got on ok.

sevendwarves · 07/04/2011 21:45

Sorry dollys, it must be so frustrating for you.

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 21:55

ORANGE-incidentally i was sopposed to hav a laproscopy a few mths ago due to irregular bleeding,but it settled so i was discharged-maybe i shouldve had it anyway for the ttc cause! although they knew i was ttc and didnt suggest it may help... in a nutshell,im thinking if they thought any kind of scarring from csection could really affect ttc,they prob wouldve gone ahead ?!? they knew id been trying a long long time etc and they paid interest and even said now my foot was in the door to just come bavk nxt time with dp... but silly me didnt!! and here i am,5 mths later and still ttc !

who is testing at weekend?? need a bfp on here to pick me up pls girls ;-)

dollysgirl · 07/04/2011 22:01

thanks seven-its hard for us all,thats why we are here isnt it :-)

i have dd with special needs,shes 9.. i want her to have a sibling while shes still a child and can still adapt to it;and also while i still have the energy to look after them both as it will be pretty tough at first! maybe she needs my full attention and im just not meant to have another hey :-s

sevendwarves · 07/04/2011 22:43

Sorry dollys I don't know what to say. I believe in fate so what's meant to be will be. It's the only thing that keeps me sane whilst ttc.
