CD 1 today and my last cycle was 34 days which means I'm due to test 6th April.

Anyone fancy joining me?

I've had a very boozy weekend so I'm abstaining now till my wedding anniversary on April 9th.

I had a dream that AF had arrived and then in my dream it was an implantation bleed :)

Even on the unconcious brain winkle!

curiousgeorgie · 26/03/2012 10:31

I love that everyones drinking! Makes me feel better about the bottle of wine I had last night! and on friday

In RL AF is due on the 1st, but I gave myself the 3rd as a date to test just for luck... but I swear I'm having symptoms. Niggly pains down low on either side, and a little bit of heartburn last night...

Hmmm..

(Clearly all in my head!!)

Zonat - Don't worry, my brothers girlfriend took eight months to concieve and went on to have 4 kids in quick sucsession so there was clearly nothing wrong with her ;)

iloveminieggs · 26/03/2012 11:53

zonat92 · 26/03/2012 12:13

Yeahh its awful! but thats what i get for not waiting Hmm well i done my last test, and i could swear their was a little something their, would it be possible at 10dpo? 10miu test? im considering going GP for blood tests this week! what do you think? or should i just wait till 2nd :)

winkle2 · 26/03/2012 14:52

It is possible to see something at 10dpo. Test again in a few days and you should get a stronger line.

Hi all. Not checked in for a couple of days, hope everyone is good.

zonat, test again in a few days :)

I'm feeling very :( at the moment. Been having bleeding since Saturday morning. Had some pain left side, is it ovulation?its quite heavy so not dtd since Fri :( I have noticed whenever I have this random 'breakthrough bleeding' it is often accompanied with pain on left side. And its not every month.....will need to monitor more closely and see if its every other month. Hope I'm not going to miss the egg :(

Had my letter from fertility clinic today to say they will be in touch with an appointment soon so some good news :)

Still feeling :( :( :( though

zonat92 · 26/03/2012 16:39

morecoffee- have u got ovarian cyst at all, that uno of! i had this when i had 1!
& im going too wait till AF day and buy a fancy digital 1 i think.
Wish me luck :)
feeling lucky, only because ino how much swi i done around ovulation, seems almost impossible not too beWink.
all just a waiting game now. wishing everyone luck x

winkle2 · 26/03/2012 16:55

Ooh excited for you zonat!!

No more coffee - have u been to the docs about this?

OP posts:
curiousgeorgie · 26/03/2012 18:37

Zonat was there a line?? Apparently a line is a line however faint ;)

How exciting!

You're inspiring me to go take one of the many tests I have hidden in the bathroom.. lol

So much more niggly pain today!! Could it really be possible though straight after a mc??

Cookiesandcream06 · 26/03/2012 19:32

It feels me with a lot of reassurance that it has been a boozy weekend all round! It is necessary in sun like this!

zonat as naughty as you are for this POAS behaviour, it is poss to see a faint line at 10dpo, maybe wait a few more then see if it's still there/darker? I know it's literally impossible but try and hold off if you can, you hear I here about these women who get a positive and then a neg, I can't imagine how disheartening that would be- don't want you to fall into this cat! But everything X-ed that all is good Grin but Great effort on the SWI, you definitely deserve to be pregnant. I do have a good feeling about this thread and this month Smile i WANT to be giving you a massive congratulations

coffee I had a bit of what I thought to be ovulation bleeding but it only lasted a day or two, I think i read somewhere that if it's more than that to pop to the docs. Have you had it before did you say?I know for a fact I have a 3cm cyst on one ovary, had several scans, I get these niggly pains now, and I just don't know what's the cyst and if it's an Ov pain or whatever! I had it today and I'm about 4 dpo, sounds similar to yours curious but then you think 'is this in my head?' but, last night it actually kept me awake for a bit in the night, so I don't think I am imagining it. But then I think it's my cyst, not actually anything exciting happening in there Sad

Does anyone have any knowledge on TTC with a cyst? I don't dare google incase I hear of some horrific 'infertility' stories. it's over a month until I'm due to go back to consultant... Confused

RightUpMyRue · 26/03/2012 19:37

zonat did you keep the test? If you take a pic and upload it we can all look at and obsess over it.

Georgie it's definitely possible after an MC, I'm not sure of any official studies which prove it but lots of anecdotal evidence says you're more likely to conceive qquickly after a MC. Your body is primed for pregnancy, your cervix is more open and you've still got extra hormones crashing around. So very much possible Smile

RightUpMyRue · 26/03/2012 19:41

cookies my best friend has a cyst on one of her ovaries. She found out about it when she had an early scan on her now 3yr old. She also fell pregnant again when he was about 3 months old. So, for her, the cyst didn't affect her fertilty at all.

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 26/03/2012 20:03

Hi. Thanks zonat winkle and cookies yes had this a lot before, not last month though so thought it had settled down and like I said it hasn't been every cycle in the past either. Had scans which have shown everything seems normal. Had swabs and blood tests done, nothing has ever shown up. Got another set of bloodtests this week. I'm on day 15 today.

zonat92 · 26/03/2012 20:17

You no you want too curious ;) hahaha! im a bad influence!

and im terrible cookie, ino its a dangerous game to play though, had previous mc etc, so ino how awful a chemical would be, i really just want too no now!
ive ran out of tests so no more for a few days :( probably a good thing haha!!

Rightup - uploading test would be pointless as my faint line is so faint only i can see it ;) hahaha! - no definatly thought their was something, wouldnt show on cam though, was going to send it too a friend also, rubbish camera!!

& morecoffee, could it be implantation bleed? :)

Cookiesandcream06 · 26/03/2012 20:20

georgie one of my close friends had a miscarriage and fell pregnant her next cycle. I have another friend who took 2 or 3 months, so deff, don't think life is against you.

Thanks right, lots of reassurance there thank you. I don't know anyone in RL who's known she's had one, let alone TTC. It just means I do have quite a lot of twingy pains, you know the way we think of everything meaning some something or symptom or whatever.

coffee try not to worry but I know these things play on your mind. I had slight spotting on day 15 and 16 and think I OV on day 17- it's possible to spot before or during or after I THINK, it tinges the CM. would you say you needed a tampon?

To every one else- happy TWWing, let's hope we don't lose our minds and when we do POAS there's a lot of BFPs going down!!

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 26/03/2012 20:43

Thanks ladies :)

Yes cookies, tampon necessary :( although it has not been anywhere like the heaviness of my weird abnormal period a period, so maybe Ov. Hoping it stops tonight so we can dtd, as it has been lighter this afternoon so fingers xd.trying to be positive.

Zonat, with my ds1 I got a positive very very faint line.only I could see it! Tested next day, got a neg.was gutted but tested again 2 days later and got a really bold line!8 months later my darling boy was born! :) these hormones of ours do funny things but seems that its looking good for you! :)

winkle2 · 26/03/2012 21:28

Oh god I so want to take a test but I'm only 7DPO. I can take a test test tues as that's 15 days after I got my smiley but I stupidly told my hubby we'd wait till our wedding anniversary the Monday after so I still have 2weeks to go!

Totally symptom spotting here but I've been so emotional the last few days, I could cry at the drop of a hat!!

OP posts:
zonat92 · 26/03/2012 21:48

Hi winkle, im with u their. i went too the beach yesterday and someone walked infront of me and sat at the table i was heading towards, my eyes filled up then i was about to tell them too move, but decided too walk away teary eyed Blush. oh i do hate hormones! these could of course be due to AF around the corner!!

RightUpMyRue · 26/03/2012 21:59

Awww zonat you cried because someone else got your table? That's kinda sweet Smile

winkle2 · 26/03/2012 22:29

I keep crying at the Titanic trailer!

OP posts:
Walnut8 · 27/03/2012 06:59

One week until I can test. I think I may do a sneaky first response on Friday however ... that will be 4 days before AF due. No symptoms at all for me, so not feeling hopeful. Mind you, I had all the symptoms in the world in cycle one, and turned out to be just bad PMS!

I hope the blood tests this week are reassuring morecoffee. I'm sure everything is okay, but thinking of you.

On another note, after having to practically bribe DH to dtd over my fertile period, this week he wants it every bloody night. Typical.
