Too right fools, have the bottle babybrain.
fishpants very exciting! Grin

AhsataN · 17/10/2011 21:07

BFN Sad and af is 2 days late. its taking over my life like every waking moment is thinking am i or aren't i? so i suppose after wasting nearly a tenner on a BFN ill just sit and wait till the red lady sings.

Fishpants · 17/10/2011 23:55

Have hope, Ahsata - maybe you are pg but didn't implant til later than you thought? If your cycles are super regular though and still a negative after 2 days then maybe just the stress is keeping Flo away? Sad

AhsataN · 18/10/2011 09:19

yes its really confusing i did a cheap test and a faint line came up on Sunday evening and that was when AF was due. did a clear blue test last night and BFN. AF is usually regular so i could well be the stress, I'm not wasting anymore money on pregnancy tests i will just sit it out.
OH and I were convinced it would positive, never mind.

babybrain3 · 18/10/2011 10:25

AshataN, the clear blue tests aren't as sensitive as the cheap ones, so it may take longer for you to get a BFP using them... Fx for you Grin

Fishpants · 18/10/2011 21:32

Any news ladies?!

AhsataN · 19/10/2011 14:18

still no AF and have been feeling more and more sick each day. i have bought another test to do 2night when OH gets in from work. had to get a clear blue they didnt have any supermarket own brands left.

Carlitawantsababy · 19/10/2011 15:24

Sounds promising ahsataN FX for you!

freedom2011 · 20/10/2011 13:15

hello again ladies, time for me stop lurking
special hello to eurochick if you are still here - I have also been trying for number 1 for what seems like ages and to babybrain3. Starting again at cycle 1 of trying post MC although it is actually something like cycle 25 since spring 2009

So - once again
freedom2011 (33) TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL 40-45 days AF due 5 Nov

bugger all negative thoughts, I am going to be a parent

Fishpants · 20/10/2011 23:20

How did the test go, Ahsata?

AhsataN · 21/10/2011 09:30

morning ladies. the test was bfn and my AF arrived this morning 4 days late. i have never been 4 days late and then we start ttc and I'm late!
I'm quite relieved to be honest just want to get on with the next month now. i bought myself some ovulation tests on ebay so i can try and get it spot on. Ive only one ovary so don't ovulate every month so its a bit like trying to pin the tail on the donkey.
good news my chinchilla gave birth yesterday morning right in front of me. i didn't even know she was pregnant, two healthy babies. so a bit of good news in my house.

Lugsie · 22/10/2011 11:50

Hi freedom so sorry to hear about your mc, fx your stay here is a short one.

Sorry about af arriving AhsataN

My af is due today and hasn't arrived... I know I'm mad but haven't tested yet - just can't face another month of BFNs. If af still isn't here by Monday then I'll definitely test then but don't think I'm pg as I have no symptoms whatsoever. Its a bit strange though as I normally have sore boobs etc just before af arrives and don't even have that?!

Lugsie · 22/10/2011 12:03

PS Was just thinking we haven't had a stats update in a while - below is the most recent list I could find so have updated it as best I can, someone let me know if I've made any mistakes! Can't change myself yet without af/bfp! freedom I've added you on, babybrain don't know your next af date so couldn't change you, ahsataN, fishpants and any other newbies - add yourself to the stats! Can't believe how long the grads list is now! Does anyone know if anyone still on the list should be moved to the grads instead?

Ok, I have a query.... since my mc in august my periods have got shorter as well as my cycle length. Last cycle length was 26 days, and AF lasted 2 days... Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening (not that I am complaining) or if it has any effect on ttc????

Exciting, Ahsata! Wouldn't it be lovely if you conceived number 2 same month of DC1's b-day? Smile

Fishpants · 23/10/2011 03:25

And babybrain no idea why it's happening, I wouldn't have thought it'd have an effect on TTC but maybe it's just your body trying to settle back into a 'normal' pattern? Do you use any tests (sticks, monitor, BBT) for ovulation at all? Has that been different?

peapop · 23/10/2011 19:42

Just thought I'd put myself back on the list, think I'll put not counting for now as no idea when next af will be.

babybrain3 · 23/10/2011 19:59

How are you doing lugsie have you managed to hold out on poas or has AF arrived???

Lugsie · 23/10/2011 23:36

Hi babybrain no still haven't poas and still no af! My boobs are sore today though so fully expecting af in the next day or two, but as I'm a day late now I will test in the morning anyway. Will keep you updated! Also to answer your question earlier about your periods/cycle length being shorter - maybe your body is just getting back into a routine? I wouldn't have thought it would have any effect on ttc though. Hopefully your new cycles are here to stay - I'd love 2 day afs! Smile

How was everyones weekend? Nice and relaxing I hope?

AhsataN · 24/10/2011 20:04

congrats Carlita and fingers crossed babybrain3.

I need some advise from all you lovely ladies, i have just received the ovulation test strips id ordered from ebay, but they didn't send instructions!
So when do i start testing for ovulation and when is the best time and how often a day do i need to test?
i really want to get it perfect this month. i only have one fallopian tube so i don't know if i definitely ovulate each month, so could be a bit hit and miss.
thanks

Kayzr · 25/10/2011 14:53

Lugsie have you tested yet?? Grin

freedom2011 · 25/10/2011 19:29

babybrain3 just wanted to say looks like I have also got a much shorter cycle post MC, 29/30 days this time as opposed to usual 40-45.

I am now on cycle 2
