I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

well the wedding was lovely - thought we weren't going to know anyone, but an old workfriend of DP's, who I also know, was there and our friends had thoughtfully sat us with them so we weren't surrounded by strangers! Our friends looked so happy and in love I thought they were going to burst - and best of all they had cupcakes for the wedding cake (have two sat in the kitchen waiting for me for later as well, yay!)

The bleeding stopped while I was at the wedding, but i've had (WARNING-TMI) some more rusty coloured fibrous stuff this morning. Am getting the crampy/black hole of doom sensation down below and my temp has dipped (but only a little bit) so am pretty sure AF is coming early... Grrr!

weimy sorry about AF :( you should definitely get a horse, then sod's law will guarantee that you get pregnant! ;)

stuff hope DD4 is happier today - glad you had a fun time though anyway!

babybrain fingers crossed for you!! :)

Carlitawantsababy · 13/06/2011 09:00

Morning all! Anyone heard of clumsiness as a symptom?! I keep dropping things and knocking things over (including cups of coffee in public places Blush ) which is most unlike me..could it be on this most unlikely month?!

eurochick · 13/06/2011 10:52

Carlita, my mum and I both get that as a pmt symptom. I grew up in a house with a very mixed crockery cupboard because she was always smashing stuff!

trope · 13/06/2011 16:10

argh! was sleeping on sofa (feeling rough so taking it easy today) when I got woken up by something falling down our chimney, followed by crazy scrabbling behind the blocked up fireplace! Pretty sure it's a bird stuck in there (hoping it isn't a rat...) No way of getting it out so have gone and hidden in the office as the scrabbling sounds were like something out of a horror film and I keep getting flashes of some angry sooty birdy thing escaping somehow and going nuts in my living room and attacking me! (Not terribly likely, I know, but it's freaking me out nonetheless!)

In other news, still spotting, still light cramping, still no AF...

What a horrid day :(

Carlitawantsababy · 13/06/2011 16:25

Thanks euro it would be a bit early for pmt (af not due for a week) but you never know, maybe this is pmt from now onwards, funny how your body can completely change the way it works! I had two random months last year with very sore boobs as a pmt symptom, never had it before and haven't had it since! Generally I'm exceptionally lucky and just feel slightly emotional the night before so I probably owe af some extra symptoms!
weimy so sorry about af.
trope any news? Has af arrived properly or is there still a chance it could just be a bleed?
It feels like so long since anyone was testing on this thread, bring on the weekend!

Carlitawantsababy · 13/06/2011 16:27

Oops, sorry trope crossed post. Sorry you had such a horrid day. Glad af hasn't properly come though, there's still hope!

trope · 13/06/2011 16:39

carlita there is hope indeed! My sister had an implantation bleed when she got pregnant, so I am trying to stay hopeful!

I'd not heard of clumsiness as a symptom for pregnancy or AF, so with it being a week early for PMT perhaps it is a pregnancy symptom for you! Fingers crossed! I get the emotional thing the day before AF usually too (I cry like a baby at the drop of a hat, but just for the 24 hours immediately preceding my period). However coming off the pill has brought all sorts of things into the mix, my FF chart is very colourful with all my symptoms logged!!

Definitely looking forward to the weekend of testing, if I/we all get there!! Fingers crossed someone gets some good news this weekend - we need another BFP to gee us all on! Grin

JamaicanSunshine · 13/06/2011 17:43

hi all,

sorry i have been under tremendous stress lately.

thats what i'm planning to test on the 29th.
and i had to pay for clomid because where i am you pay for almost every single thing and every doc visit.
Good luck to everyone still as testing draws near. :)

Carlitawantsababy · 13/06/2011 18:30

Have found with some googling that clumsiness is indeed an early sign for some people! Grin FX!

Carlitawantsababy · 13/06/2011 18:31

Jamaican 29th June or CD29?

freedom2011 · 13/06/2011 22:44

please may I join? I have been trying to conceive #1 for over 2 years so I really hope for a 2012 baby too.

toddle · 13/06/2011 22:48

Ooooh ive been away for too long and missed tons of post. Hello to the new people and of course freedom were a freindly bunch. Add yourself to the stats if you like :)

Can i please join your fathers day testing gang as a honorary member as i feel left out :(. My dp's sunning himself in Greece atm to so i truely am a billy. I could be the non slutty one though guys as i cant SWI anymore.

Given me a good giggle in the mean time though at the thought of everyone marching to boots like those adverts for sticks to pee on. In pink jackets and pigtales or something!

So guys im trusting you to give some of your opinions on my predicament. P.S - sorry maybe rambling

My dp is going to propose to me when he returns from Greece. haha im laughing at writing that i dont no when or anything, just know he is of for the ring after some convo's we have had and his asked my friend for advice on what sort of ring.

So from talking thinking of a summer wedding next year. However do we put TTC of untill then say July wedding or something. Nothings set in stone at the moment just my guessing of what he means by summer wedding. Ive said i dont want to be ready to pop when getting married. We DTD before he left which is CD 13 so guess theres a possibility it could be a lucky month for us and would be due in March. If so thats ok the decision would be out of our hands now and we would have a ready made bridesmade or page boy. However if not id maybe like to put it of untill either after the wedding or just before however DP would just like to plow ahead and carry on trying. Although i also think i dont want to stop trying, we have been SWI like bloody rabbits for 5 months and nothing. So to stop now for a year it would feel like a step backwards to go on the pill or something. Or should i say yeah ok carry on trying for the next three months and if not wait untill next year? Grrr i dont no what to do. I no its ultimatly our choice but if anyone has any opions or advice please share.

mememummy · 13/06/2011 22:59

can I hop on?

im mememummy 23yrs old TTC#2 DD is 3.5now and would like a sister for xmas- she asked earlier, I have been married for 2.5yrs and been with DH for nearly 8 years I had my coil took out on 25th may and I am still aw any type of bleeding POAS since coil removal to see if im ovulating apparently not :( still early days

freedom2011 · 13/06/2011 23:21

Thanks for the welcome toddle not sure stats will help me, my cycles have a timetable of their own. I have been trying for 2 years but it's too depressing to put cycle 22 or whatever, so I am starting again with Cycle 1

Freedom2011 (33) TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL just keep getting longer every cycle, 32-45 days) on that basis, AF due 15th July but with wacky cycles, who knows?

Good luck everyone.

toddle · 14/06/2011 00:13

Think ive updated the stats and put you both on so fx ive got them right. freedom Ive only been at it for 5 months but i can feel your fustration with cycles getting longer and longer. First cycle TTC was 24 days and they have now gone up to 34 days. Arghh stupid cycles. We do have someone on the thread on cycle 21 so i guess your not alone. Have you been to see if theres anything they can help you with seeing as you have been trying so long.

Welcome freedom and meme! good to have you here! Smile
toddle how exciting re proposal! If it's just that you don't want to be heavily pg, rather than pg at all how about getting married this summer? You still have time to plan for late august/ early September unless you have something very specific in mind which may be booked up or if you have specific dates in mind. Otherwise it's entirely possible, people go on about it being some gargantuan task to organise a wedding but it's rather like organising a large party, of course if you want to make place cards, favours, your own dress etc. it would be hard. Our wedding was pretty simple, town hall and party at a local pub but similarly you could organise a hotel wedding in that time if that suits you more as these are often packages which you buy anyway. That of course brings the question of money, would you need to save up? We didn't spend much at all. Otherwise I would go for the try for another 3 months plan if you would rather marry next year...whatever you decide may I be one of the first to congratulate you on your engagement? Grin
Glad you're joining the testing gang on father's day, that will be an exciting one! PMSL at us running to boots with the pink jackets on but now have 'here come the girls' stuck in my head!
Next time someone posts stats can you move boogies at the top to the MIA section? It's well past the 2nd now! I can't copy and paste from other's posts on the app.

freedom2011 · 14/06/2011 09:15

thanks carlita, thanks for asking toddle. I go in to see doctor every 6 months with my charts, first they removed some growing-right-in-the-way-polyps in an operation, and my dr said should work now, that was well over a 1.5 years ago. At the last visit she recommended Persona which is actually marketed for contraception but apparently some people use it by DTD on the red-danger-of-pregnancy days. I bought it - but the packaging says not for women who have a cycle over 35 days. I'm not sure now, might try it anyway. DH has been tested, all is ok with him.

Hope you get to enjoy the proposal moment soon. Being proposed to is pretty wonderful.

Carlitawantsababy · 14/06/2011 09:24

freedom the persona sounds interesting, haven't heard of that before.. Are you on waiting lists for IUI and/or IVF? By 2.5 years of trying my sister had had 3 x IUI and 1 x IVF (and is now 12 weeks pg with twinsGrin) but does that depend a bit on where you live? I can't imagine what you are going through.
So, being married, how long would you say it takes to organise a wedding? Do you agree or think I'm mad?Smile

freedom2011 · 14/06/2011 09:38

carlita - not yet. DH is not keen on IUI/IVF -We're giving it another 6 months before he'll consider that maybe we need some help. We took about 8 months to organise our wedding but I am sure it can be done a lot faster as we didn't rush with anything.

Carlitawantsababy · 14/06/2011 10:08

Well let's hope this thread is lucky for all of us so you don't have to even consider it in 6 months!Smile

babybrain3 · 14/06/2011 10:33

Toddle, I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations!!! I keep dropping hints to my DP, but he just doesn't seem to pick them up...Maybe on our holiday this year in Aug fx....

Well i caved and POAS just now, got a BFN, but wasn't the first pee of the day and still only 7dpo, so will try again on Friday i think...May have to sit on my hands though...Still feeling queasy, keep gagging, but not actually throwing up, and woke up last night to go to the toilet which is very unusual for me. I am so excited for all of us POAS over the weekend..We must be due for some good news on this thread soon I reckon!!

babybrain3 · 14/06/2011 10:34

fx for you too Freedom, can't imagine trying for that long :(

MorningCoffee · 14/06/2011 11:35
