farfalla, very sorry to read this. I hope the appointment is helpful next week. It will definitely be third time lucky.

Thanks everyone, and so sorry about your 2 mcs generic, I did not realise you had had 2.

Sorry about the BFN popcorn still not over yet and if so next month will be your month!

Where on earth is imps?

GenericDietCola · 21/09/2011 13:42

Thanks Farfalla but I'm OK - we will both be lucky next time and we will Brook No Argument.

Yeah, where are you Imps?

Imps7 · 21/09/2011 13:52

Hello!! I'm back! Have you missed me???

Can't wait to catch up with everything - will grab a cuppa and have a read through!

jenfraggle · 21/09/2011 14:03

Yay, imps!

Imps7 · 21/09/2011 14:19

I meant to add a message on Friday afternoon to say that I would be sans interweb access until today, but manically busy afternoon at work + train to catch = no time to post anything!!

Farfalla, god what a nightmarish end to your last cycle. So sorry that your BFP didn't stick about. Get yourself that appointment and BROOK NO ARGUMENT until they have given you some answers. Musical it sounds like you're having a trying time too - glad that the last scan seemed to be positive - we are all brooking no argument that your prawn gets properly stuck in and hangs on in there.

Maybe oh no I can't believe that you've left. If you're still lurking - good luck and see you soon. When you have you little one, you'll look back and say "yes, we made the right decision to stop TTC that year." Everything happens for a reason.

Duke and Patience - HURRAH!!!! I'm so pleased to see that you've whipped those pee sticks into shape. Congratulations!

Popcorn - do not give up hope - a lot of lines don't show up until after AF is due. It is not over, I repeat NOT OVER.

I am officially in the 2ww (1 or 2 DPO - not sure which - had a slight temp rise yesterday but a much bigger one this morning) and am in the running! Despite my concerns, OH has properly stepped up to the plate and I am happy to report that we have had a lot of SWI! Hurrah! I don't even care that much if it doesn't work out this month - I am just so happy that he is properly on board.

Right, must go and pick the rabbits up from their rabbit lodgings.

Biscuitsandtea · 21/09/2011 14:19

Welcome back Imps Smile

PopcornMouse · 21/09/2011 14:34

Yay, nice to see you Imps! So glad to hear DH is thoroughly aboard the brook-no-argument train :)

CakePigeon · 21/09/2011 15:21

Nice to have you back imps and loving your positive vibes! It is good to have DH on board isn't it?

Sorry no line for you yet popcorn, fx for some more pink on the stick tomorrow!

I am feeling very AF like sadly and have cramps as well. I hope my LP isn't getting shorter as last month was 13 days I think and it has always been exactly 14 Hmm. I think I might cave and test tomorrow anyway :o

PopcornMouse · 21/09/2011 15:54

Poas poas! :o

Imps7 · 21/09/2011 16:37

What Popcorn said!!!

GenericDietCola · 21/09/2011 16:42

Imps is back! Whoop! Glad your DH is on board. We're sort of cycle buddies I think - I'm between 2 and 6 dpo

And yes Cake come on girl! We need another BFP pronto!

duke748 · 21/09/2011 17:10

Imps - great to see your positivity on this thread - I think we need it at the mo!

Popcorn and Cake - how many DPO are you? Remember, its not over until its over.

Solars · 21/09/2011 18:04

Oh Farfalla so sorry to hear about AF and really hope you can get some answers soon about what is going on {{hugs}}

Popcorn I think you're still in it!!!

Cake poas poas please tmrw!! Grin

PopcornMouse · 21/09/2011 18:12

Duke I'm 13dpo by FF's reckoning (12 by "countdowntopregnancy.com" Hmm ). Either way, AF is due tomorrow. I don't feel very pre-menstrual though - this time last month I was close to throwing up and passing out (possibly simultaneously) in a restaurant loo Blush but I feel fine atm...........

CakePigeon · 21/09/2011 18:15

ok ok ok I will poas first thing tomorrow BUT you lot have to pick up the pieces if I get a BFN and end up sobbing into the bath mat not that it will be a bfn of course as holiday swi plus no brooking = sure fire bfp .

duke I think i'll be 13 or 14 dpo tomorrow. How are you? Have you had to use your glittery bucket from the ante natal thread yet?

popcorn will you be joining me in a bit of poasing?

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 21/09/2011 18:25

I'm sooooooooooooo gutted Maybe has left!! A huge loss to the thread! I agree that this decision won't have been made lightly, and I'm sending lots of supportive vibes Maybe's way because whatever the good reasons behind the decision I'm pretty sure she'll be a bit gutted at having to take a break from ttc. I hope her evil boss vanishes overnight in slightly suspicious circumstances, with absolutely no clues left behind except for a couple of lurking rats! Anyways, everything happens for a reason (I hope!) and when it's the right time for Maybe her BFP will pop up! (Probably as soon as she's "not trying"!)

Yay for Imps being back!

Sorry to hear your news Farfalla, but at least you know where you stand this cycle, and it's really positive that you have an appt coming up for further tests. Brook No Argument with the doctor!

duke748 · 21/09/2011 19:09

Oooohhh... synronised peeing tomorrow! Yippee! 14/15 DPO is a fab time for POAS. Very impressed with your patience Cake and Popcorn.

I'm good thanks, not in fully flung sickness (I threw up every day for 2 months with my DS)- just a general hangover-like feeling. I'm trying to eat while I can, but not really feeling it to be honest, not even chocolate!

I haven't braved hoping over to antenatal thread yet, I am kind of waiting out the next few weeks to see how things go before I let myself get my hopes up. So, can I hang round here for a bit pretty please?

If anyone wants to know, the things that I think might have helped the upduffness are:

  • used ClearBlue Fertility Monitor (which showed me I OVed on day 12 instead of usual 18 this month - so it was all hands to deck so to speak!)
  • took 1000mg of B vit complex to lengthen 10 day long LP.
  • DTD 5 times on OV day! Thankfully Ds still naps quite a lot. I was definately brooking. no. bloody. argument. (and DP seemed happy to, ahem, rise to the challenge!)
BartletForAmerica · 21/09/2011 19:16

Oh no, I'd missed maybe's departure. I am sorry to see that. Will be thinking of you and hope that your ironic BFP brings you to the antenatal thread soon.

duke, 5 times! I am impressed you found the energy!

Got to get my thesis finished tonight, so can't write much, but be assured that I have those pom poms at the ready for you all!

thelittlefriend · 21/09/2011 19:53

Shock Shock Shock

5 times Duke!!! I'm amazed. No wonder you're pregnant!

duke748 · 21/09/2011 20:01

Sorry - should read 100mg of B vits, not 1000mg! Blush

scarletfingernail · 21/09/2011 20:10

I've been AWOL for a couple of days. Been hectic in RL and not had time to come on.

Congratulations duke and Patience fantastic news.

Farfalla so sorry to read what a rough time you've been having Sad I'm also brooking no argument for you. You will get your BFP, we will make sure of it.

maybe really sorry to see you go. All the very best to you and your DH and I'll look out for you announcing your BFP at some point in the future.

Ninja pleased to hear your HSG went well. Not sure about struggling to get the dye in compared to sperm, but sounds like you could have a good theory.

Not had time to read through properly so sorry if I've missed any other big announcements. Hope you're all doing well and looking out for those rats.

Imps7 · 21/09/2011 20:38
