Well last week was a Smile week so let's hope our luck continues...

Bookmarking.

DH is wrapping DS's birthday present and I'm watching The Great British Bake Off on catch up. Party is on Bank Holiday Monday - I'm making a 3d Thomas cake, cupcakes with Thomas toppers, train shaped biscuits, and train-shaped sandwiches! BBQ for the adults. Ordered Thomas wall stickers to hide the chipped paintwork and crayon graffitti. Have planted some new bedding plants so the garden looks a bit smarter too. Obviously DS won't remember any of this - but the pictures will look good!

Thanks for the biscuits dachs. What's your test total today Grin ?

You've been busy digi! I take it your ds likes Thomas? We're hoping to go to Thomasland this Christmas, I'm stupidly excited about it Grin

It's comfy in here, anyone else coming in?

Just bookmarking :)

Thanks mummya - I have been charting sporadically - I did have a temp rise about 2 weeks ago which meant I should have got AF at the end of last week, - especially as my temps started to drop off last wednesday. So when I had the cramping - I thought AF was on the way. I do hope that I am wrong and just have my temps mixed up.

Wave to everyone else xxxx

So sorry for the mentalling. xx

Tina I've only been doing two tests a day (since the first couple of days when I did loads because I didn't believe it!). :) And today CB Digi went up from 1-2 to 2-3. I'm still worried but am hoping that it's a good sign that the hcg is increasing.

Digi sounds good! Enjoy the baking :) I hope it goes well and the preparations aren't too stressful

battery I hope AF shows up soon.

Dachs! Are you still there? I'm still in bed. Temp still up. FF says I'm 13dpo digi and mummya reckon it might only be 11dpo. Shall I poas? Help me decide!

I am still here. Poas poas poas :)

DeterminedToStayDiffedDachs · 22/08/2011 07:30

(if you have a decent test. Internet cheapies won't show it up yet. I'm 14 dpo and only started getting a line on the cheapies today but frer and cbd have been pos since Thursday)

Not everyone gets early results. You could test again in a couple of days.

:( you got a bfn though.

DeterminedToStayDiffedDachs · 22/08/2011 07:35

Glad there's still hope :)

Dachs!! was just browsing this thread and see you are diffed again. Congratulations I am so so happy for you and I have everything possible crossed for you.

DeterminedToStayDiffedDachs · 22/08/2011 07:43

Thanks kat it's still v early days and I'm completely terrified that something will go wrong again, but trying to just take it one day at a time

MissTinaTeaspoon · 22/08/2011 07:54

Grin for 2-3 weeks dachs, I'd say that means it's not likely to be a cp Grin

mouse it's still early days, I don't bother with ic's since reading reviews on Amazon - go read them, loads of ladies have only had positives days post af being due. Don't give up hope yet, especially if your temps still up Smile

MissTinaTeaspoon · 22/08/2011 07:55

for mouse

Velvetcu · 22/08/2011 08:17

Grindachs glad your cbdigi is going up.

Sad mouse for bfn but like everyone says, ics aren't so good. I only got a very very faint line with a morrisons own 14dpo this time so had to use a cb Digi to check I wasn't seeing things so there's still hope especially if you might have ovd later

Thanks tina and velvet I'm going to try to be more patient and just see what the next few days show.

mouse I agree it may still be too early :)

Spoke to my GP and had bloods today. He spoke to the gynea registrar at my local hospital who said this is entirely normal, and if my periods have not come back in the next 3 weeks than they want to see me. GP asked the reg about scarring (at my request) and she dismissed it straight away. However, I know I ovulated so its not just that my cycle hasn't kicked in - it is purley the absence of AF that is driving me mad. The frustration is killing me.

Dachs glad to see the digi is going up! When do you have a scan?

lily06 · 22/08/2011 13:28

Just marking my place on this lovely new thread - hope it brings good news for all.

Mouse I agree with the others too - my last bfp was barely visible on an asda cheapie even when cb digi said 2-3 weeks.

Battery sorry to hear you are so worried, but I'm glad your GP took it seriously and spoke to the hospital for you.

Does anyone use cb ovulation kit or fertility monitor and are they worth the money?

DeterminedToStayDiffedDachs · 22/08/2011 13:40

lily I used CB ovvie and I'd say it was worth it, but i always had horrible trouble identifying my LH surge on any normal poas sticks, so I needed it.
