Right I'm going to be bold and start a new thread to drum up some energy for anyone ttc a Jan / Feb / Spring 2013 baby.

Does anyone want to join me on this flight?

Really nice to see you baba Smile
Sorry about the BFN Pip, tbh, though, I'm more inclined to go on temps, esp at 12 dpo

Pipbin · 26/05/2012 09:17

Well my temp dropped a bit but is still high.

Morning all,

spring I'm thinking about you, try to not give up hope.

pip sorry about the BFN. I forget if you were due this morning?

baba glad you found us.

wiggy you're weekend sounds fab, I am especially Envy at hotel du vin.

I am a nauseous, tired, hormonal PITA currently. Need to get up soon, going to buy an outfit for a wedding. Also, need to get some running done. I can't believe that I ran 10miles last Saturday, I did 3 on Tuesday night and felt awful.

Seeeee I am a PITA. All I do is whine.

EmpireBiscuit · 26/05/2012 09:21

Waves to everyone else!!

Pipbin · 26/05/2012 09:30

Hi Empire AF due tomorrow but I'm going out tonight and just wanted to check before drinking really.

SpringFlowers · 26/05/2012 09:35

Empire, I'm just the same. My symptoms haven't gone at all. I feel so sick and am just exhausted. Feeling like that all the time makes me pretty grouchy with everyone.

LimeLeafLizard · 26/05/2012 09:57

Spring I'm so sorry. Feeling so sick and tired would make anyone grumpy. Hope you can get some rest this weekend.

Pipbin sorry to hear about the BFN, esp as you have been so hopeful this month. See how it goes, I suppose.

Baba great to have you back on the thread. Hmm at your GP never having heard of a luteal phase!

Empire have fun shopping - when is the wedding? I think finding special occasion outfits when you're pg can be tricky!

I'm off out shortly, enjoy the sunshine!

It's at the start of July...sooo it will be empire line and hopefully big enough to contain my ridiculously large boobs!

Enjoy the sunshine all x

SilentMammoth · 26/05/2012 12:47

I'm always surprise by some of the ignorance out there, was told by a midwife that ovulation is always fourteen days before af!!!

SilentMammoth · 26/05/2012 20:19

Over thinking here. 10dpo, I'm determined not to test until the day after AF due (Tuesday) and I'm analysing every ting twinge. Grrr

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 08:42

Well temp here is still high and AF is not properly here yet but still another BFN.

SilentMammoth · 27/05/2012 10:13

Is that 13 dpo you are pip? what's you rd lp normally like? Is there not even a squinter of a line?

I tested too (because I'm crap). Bfn here as well. Thatsurs what comes of goofing"testing #11dpo"late the might before.

SilentMammoth · 27/05/2012 10:13

And yes am posting from my phone!!!

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 11:44

Yes Silent 13dpo, my average is 12 but it has been as little as 10 before. However AF often turns up in the evening for me.
Still spotting, but not very much, and what there is is brown yucky stuff, not red.
And yes. Not even a ''if I hold it up to the light and try to convince myself'' line. I went to Superdrug yesterday where they have their twin packs of tests on two for £8. So I have plenty test just incase things start looking up.

Purpledragon · 27/05/2012 12:03

Hi Pipbin despite BFNs your chart just looks so convincing. I'm keeping my fx for you.
This cycle has been a total mess for me, don't even know where I'm at. The thing that sucks is you still hold out that little bit of hope even when everything points against. Damn it.
Waves to all.

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 12:13

Doesn't it look just like a pg chart purple! I think that is why it has upset me so much this month.
I don't think I am though. Two BFNs from Superdrug tests is pretty conclusive.
Talked about it with DH today and he said that although he doesn't want to know when 'tonight's the night' he doesn't mind knowing which week we need to concentrate our efforts in.

Purpledragon · 27/05/2012 12:36

I have to say it couldn't look more like one. Hold tight and see what develops.

SpringFlowers · 27/05/2012 13:42

Pip, your chart does look like a pg one. Some people don't get early positives. Maybe you're one of them. Bearing in mind the amount of brown spotting I've had since pg I don't think it's the end of the world.

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 14:03

Spring! How are things going with you?

Spotting seemed to have stopped so I thought I would have a poke around and see how my cervix felt. And who did I find hiding up there? Yes I think it was AF, well, there certainly was red blood anyway.

SpringFlowers · 27/05/2012 16:42

Oh sorry Pip, at least you k ow and are not going to be kept wondering. We only dtd twice at my fertile time when I conceived, I think it's more about timing.

I'm fine, plodding on. Really tired, really exhausted and I often feel hideously sick (mainly when I move), so that's all good. No red bleeding since the episode on Friday. There are the tiniest amounts of brown in my cm still, but minuscule 'flecks'. I've stopped worrying about brown cm anyway. Since the red blood incident I've been much more worried about that. I really hope that this is the end of the bleeding thing (naive) and that the baby is ok in spite of it. My scan is at 9.45 on Thursday, so I'll let you know after that.

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 20:50

OK, I give up now. It wasn't AF at all.
No idea what is going on but I think I can categorically state that 100mg of Vitamin b complex a day has given me a longer LP and much less spotting.

lastboxoftampons · 27/05/2012 20:59

Pip my spotting before AF is similar. There are times when you think it's stopped, it turns brown, etc, but in my experience AF eventually shows. Fingers still crossed for you but i'd try to be ready for her arrival if I were you. Xx

Crazytictac · 27/05/2012 21:13

How strange pipbin, must be frustrating to have positive signs yet no proper confirmation. Can only wait it out I guess.....

I went to Holland and Barrett today and purchased some of this magical B6 of which you speak (half price...bargain!). I almost felt a bit embarrassed as if the guy on the counter knew what I needed it for....took me back to my days of purchasing my firt set of tampons as a teenager....:o I don't think he did though as he oddly threw the container up in the air, caught it and seemed quite pleased with himself...

spring, I know it's not much comfort but this time next week you'll know one way or the other. Keeping everything crossed for you

silent hope it's just a case of testing a bit early. Fingers crossed for a BFP in a couple of days

blackcats I've joined up to FF now (thanks for link) and think I will get the basal thermometre...I do like graphs :)

Hope all you other ladies have had a good weekend.

LimeLeafLizard · 27/05/2012 21:20

Phew I'm knackered. We have been in the garden all day and have done loads! Very satisfying but now I just want to flop on the sofa and not do all the ironing which is waiting for me next.

Thinging of you all waiting anxiously, why does this ttc lark involve so much frustrating waiting? Waiting for AF or preferably bfp, waiting for OV, Spring waiting for your appt.

I've been quite good at forgetting it all these last few days, but I expect I'll be symptom spotting for implantation during the coming week!

Spring So sorry to hear you are still feeling sick. Hope you are coping with the children. From experience, it can be hard to meet their needs / demands cheerfully when you are feeling rubbish. Hope you are getting some good help and support in RL.
