Glad to be educating you all! I'm feeling really rough today, this cold has wiped me out, I'm in bed! So so tired... I'm glad to report that I'm day 21 and no sign of af, my longest cycle since the mc, yippee! Grin

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend, are we mad to be planning a trip to ikea on a bh Monday?! Dh fell onto the bookcase this morning coming down from the attic and went through it so we need a new one! (He was putting away the pushchairs :( )

Hi hope everyone is ok...thread is going real slow :)

meliesmummy · 03/05/2011 08:29

Good morning!

I see that we haven't done a list for nearly 2 weeks...just wondering if it's easier to start a new one? I'm assuming that some of you will have had af start or even bfps in the last 2 weeks, what do you all think? I'll start one and add yourselves on as you want, here goes:

Mondays List

Meliesmummy ttc #2 cycle 3 day 23 ucl 28

Hope I haven't upset anyone with that.

I'm feeling much better. I haven't tested yet, trying to stay strong! Still having little crampy pains, probably nothing though. I've also been feeling a bit bloated and grumpy though which could be pms. So not getting any hopes up here.

Hope everyone's ok, it's been really quiet here lately!

Hi all, hope everyone is well - any news from 2wws?

melies fx that there is a BFP for you soon, well done for not testing when will you cave?!

Have added my stats to your new list as I'm not sure if i was on the old one or not, I'm CD14 and my monitor is showing "high" so hoping for a "peak" in the next few days.....

I need congratulating, I'm so proud of myself...just went into Boots to fill dds prescription...and I didn't buy any tests! Grin

Morning ladies

Hope you all had lovely weekends. I have some news...I got a BFP Grin

I can't actually believe it at the moment. I have tiny bursts of excitement but mostly I feel very detached and very scared. I am not quite sure where I am in my cycle (period was either due Mon or this Thurs) but it was about 5 days after my period was due that I had the MC last time so I just dread it everytime I need to go to the loo as I am scared its going to happen again.

I have had some period pains on and off for two weeks but very very mild and nothing like last time where I would be crying in agony so I guess that is good. However, unlike last time I'm not very tired and not particularly thirsty and my boobs have only just started to hurt so I feel I am behind on the symptoms.

Its so early that at the mo I feel like I can say I have a BFP but not that I am pregnant. Here's hoping for a sticky one this time!

Fingers crossed for some mroe BFPs so you can keep me company freaking out!

xx

Congratulations to bump Grin, lovely news! Don't worry about your lack of symptoms...with dd I didn't have any till about 5 weeks. I really hope this one is sticky x

Fx for a peak day soon olis. I know nothing about the cbfm but are they like opks in that surges can be missed?

lily06 · 03/05/2011 12:01

Congrats, bump, that's great news. Its perfectly understandable to feel how you do at the moment, I will be just the same.

Mel I'm impressed at the restraint!

Olis I've never used a monitor, so I'm not sure how reliable they are - I haven't got one because it would give me one more thing to worry about!!

Yay bump brilliant news, Fx for sticky bean and hope I (and others) join you soon. What day did you test? And, excuse the request for information but did you just SWI all over the smiley face time?! I'm worried I might leave it too late this month..... x

Bumpwanted · 03/05/2011 13:34

I tested this morning. I am not sure if I was due on yest. or I am due on Thursday...my period i tracker thingy on my phone has been a bit odd since the MC so I am unsure if I should believe that or mumsnet which said I would get my period yesterday.

I did a first response and the line was pretty faint and then a clear blue digital which said 1-2 weeks so its very early days so I suspect I am still in the pre-period zone.

We were a bit off with the SWI. Did it loads leading up to ovulation and were then exhausted and had actually discussed the fact that we messed up and hadn't done it at the right time. We'd done it 3 out of 4 days in the lead up to the smiley face, then the day I got the smiley face (but we hadn't done it the day before) and that was it. We were all SWI out by smiley face day and so whilst we planned to do it the day after, neither of us felt remotely like it!

xx

meliesmummy · 03/05/2011 13:44

bump you could be me! We dtd almost daily apart from the day before the :), then we did it the day I got the :) and the day after...it worked for you si fx for me then!

I'm slightly annoyed...I started a thread about the new fertility monitor in Boots, dont know if any of you saw it on tv last week but it measures your temp hundreds of times a day to predict fertility and costs £500 (no that's not a typo!) just asking what people thought on here. Anyway, the manufacturer has turned it into an advert for the product! Am I being a bit precious here or should this be a forum for people having trouble conceiving, shouldn't we be safe from this kind of thing?! You don't see clearblue on here selling tests do you??!! I've reported it, am I overreacting?

OP posts:
cep · 03/05/2011 14:16

bump that's great news so so pleased for you.

mel welldone on not buying tests yet hon, and so pleased your cycles seem to have finally sorted itself out. keeping fx for that bfp. I'd be annoyed as well, you were asking peoples opinion not for a advert. (£500 seems a heck of a lot.)

lily06 · 03/05/2011 14:18

Cep, how's things?

Mel, I wouldn't be impressed either - hardly the kind of feedback you were after. I suppose at least they were honest about who they were when they posted. It does seem very expensive tbh.

cep · 03/05/2011 14:24

lily hiya, not too bad, started getting weird cramps on sunday so obviously now worrying about thursdays scan. however i also think i felt a bit of movement yesterday (at least i didn't trump afterwards anyway. Blush) my bv has come back so i'm wondering if pains are linked to that somehow. I have an appt to see dr to get more cream so hopefully that'll sort it. I've been a bit quiet on here as haven't wanted to keep coming on complaining. how are you?

mel see what you mean, just went to have a look. like lily said at least they were upfront about who they were, but as you weren't after the official line just a personal opinion i can understand you being annoyed.

Think we missed the boat this month as DH left for his trip wednesday and still haven't got a smiley face yet on the CB digi. - so any residual would be well and truly useless by now. Assuming I will tonight / tomorrow but the CP could have put my cycles all out again.

bump congrats on the BFP, fx it's a sticky

Bumpwanted · 03/05/2011 16:10

Thanks everyone! Have had period pains this afternoon so am freaking out. I think its going to end badly like last time as the pains weren't bad up until now but its getting worse Sad Nothing I can do to stop it though so guess I will just have to wait and see. AT least if it all goes wrong this time I won't have had a BFP for long.

Mel I would be annoyed too. Its not a place for them to advertise even in a back handed manner like that. Mumsnet should take it down.

Cep hope the scan goes well. I am sure it will but totally understand the cramps freaking you out.

Stitch what a pain with your husband travelling! You should have made him leave a bit in a cup on ice!! Wink

stitchinline · 03/05/2011 16:28

hehe bump I was actually tempted to suggest it but DH already thinks I'm a bit obsessed, if I suggested that he might totally freak out :o

meliesmummy · 03/05/2011 16:48

bump it's been removed now so mn must agree it was out of order. It wound me up but I think I was too harsh in my reply, feeling a bit bad about it now. The threads still there if any of you want to read it and see if I was? Think I've got pmty grumps today :(

OP posts:
Loup23 · 03/05/2011 19:59

So pleased for you bump hopefully then SWI over the peak days will do the trick..... olismum are you using a clear blue fertility monitor? There's a great forum thread under CBFM Buddies Vol6 where the ladies know all about lows, highs and peaks etc! Is this your first month using it? If you cycle is usually 30 - 33 then a peak should come along shortly and you might only get 1 or 2 days high (i'm the other way round, usually get endless days of high before a peak). Anyway fx a high comes along (followed by a peak!) x

Minnie74 · 03/05/2011 20:41

Hi

Just popped into say i had a scan today which showed a little bean with a heartbeat! Excited yet absolutely terrified. I'm now 7 +5 according to scan so lots more mentalling to do I'm sure!

bump congrats on the bfp. fx for a healthy sticky 9 months. See you in the freak out room!

oli CBFM worked for us both times. Once you get a peak it automatically gives another and then one high and some lows. So after the first high i used to use an old stick to save having to buy more! good luck x

Good luck to everyone and fx for loads more bfps- the freak out room beanbags are pretty comfy when you pop across!
