Well the witch has caught up with me at last. So I have decided its time to start a new thread as I think our christmas reindeer need a rest.
So step aboard ladies and join me for a hunt for the golden egg.

8dpo and still no spotting.

Don't want to get my hopes up too much but I am feeling hopeful.

that's great pipbin fx crossed for you!

blackcatsdancing · 27/07/2012 19:05

this has to be quick as am making dinner. my new thing this month is soft cups- like the mooncup but disposable. i dont really think it will help me conceive and doubt i'll buy another pack but worth a try and sperm dribbling out is something i hate anyway.

Flyingwithoutwings · 27/07/2012 22:26

Ewww, yes, not a nice feeling is it... And I don't know about you but, even though I have a shower in the morning, I swear I can smell it... Or is that just me? Blush

Rachstrawberry · 28/07/2012 09:19

Im still here pip although AF got me again... Regular as clockwork!

Pipbin · 28/07/2012 11:05

Sorry to hear that Rach

I agree ladies. I can smell it still in the mornings too.

-whispers 9dpo and alls well, no spotting -

sorry to hear that rach.

i can report that the softcup did its job. will use another tomorrow if we DTD- (which we should). temps all over the place at the moment, they're usually quite stable with me, anyway, opks still very negative so some days to go me thinks.

Flyingwithoutwings · 28/07/2012 19:51

SadRach
I have been to a civil ceremony today, it was lovely. Nothing like seeing one of your best friends blissfully happy Grin I shed a few tears.

I've had some cramping in my tummy but unsure if it's my sit-ups well my poor attempts at sit ups from Thursday that's caused it. I'm CD 22 today.

blackcatsdancing · 29/07/2012 09:29

sounds like you had a lovely day flying.
I'm CD11 and have some bleeding, very odd....

Pipbin · 29/07/2012 09:56

CD 11. That is odd.

10 DPO here and I had a little bit of spotting last night after a TMI rather hard work poo. I think it was too much pushing that did it!
Still nothing again this morning.

Flyingwithoutwings · 29/07/2012 16:05

I agree, that's odd. I've heard of ovulation bleeding though, perhaps it's that Smile

blackcatsdancing · 29/07/2012 17:00

hmm i had a clear smear test recently or i'd be bit worried. lets hope its just an odd bit of heavy spotting, extremely unusual for me though.

Pipbin · 30/07/2012 08:45

Have you been SWI too much? Could be that.

11Dpo here and I just POAS but bfn.

Flyingwithoutwings · 30/07/2012 08:48

How long are your cycles normally pip?

Flyingwithoutwings · 30/07/2012 08:50

Back ache today (not due on until Sat / Sub), but I had an upset tummy yesterday do could be that.
Got to change the pads on DS's trampoline today (was given to us: 12 foot one). The pads that came with it are "well loved" falling apart so I've bought some decent ones, not sure I fancy clambering all over it again (was doing it last Monday when I collected it)!

Flyingwithoutwings · 30/07/2012 08:51

Oops, dreadful typing^ Blush

Pipbin · 30/07/2012 08:53

Normally about 33 days with an LP of 13 days, so I am a bit early to POAS really.

So fed up with this now. Everyone else seems to be able to do it without a problem.

blackcatsdancing · 30/07/2012 09:24

must be really difficult pipbin. i really hope you get your BFP before your next appointment but if not that they can sort it out and help you. so far everything is ok isn't it? (with the tests so far)

i'm always mindful of other people's difficulties in conceiving. i'd never ask anything as crass as "when are you having babies then", though i did once say to a man " oh you look very happy there (photo of him playing with his nephew), do you think you'll one day want your own?", cue " i can't really talk about that without getting upset, i'm sorry". He and his wife do now have twins, but they needed IVF.

Pipbin · 30/07/2012 11:22

As far as they can tell both of us work just fine.
I've just had the letter saying that I need to call the hospital on CD1 to book in for my tubes to be scanned.
Assuming that is ok then it'll be clomid.
AF is due tomorrow so hopefully I can get that done over the holidays.
Then the next clinic appointment is in October.

blackcats I had a random bleed completely mid cycle following my chemical pregnancy. Have you had any more spotting?

7 DPO here but oddly haven't even thought that much about it this time. I'm almost at the stage where I can't be bothered. Have agreed with DH if not pg by next spring, then not going to try any more.

Squirrel77 · 30/07/2012 12:04

Hi guys! Back from holiday. Currently 3 DPO and if I get preggers this month will have the best ever story of where it was conceived (heh heh).

Congrats on the 2 BFPs that have taken place while I've been away!

blackcatsdancing · 30/07/2012 14:24

Hi squirrel, hope you get your BFP, especially as i'm really nosy and would love to hear the story!

that's weird tictac, maybe that is why. Today its a very light spotting so think it will stop by tomorrow. CD12 and OPKs still so pale

Treats · 30/07/2012 21:21

Hi ladies - just checking in. I had my GP appointment today to confirm the pregnancy and have done all the forms and had the referral to the hospital. Feels a BIT more real now, but I'm still not really thinking about it much, or feeling excited. I think it's because I've lost my innocence as far as pregnancy is concerned - it COULD all go really well and I'll have a wonderful baby at the end of this. Or it could all go tits up again. Or the baby could be severely disabled. Best not to think about it......

Sorry to hear about your bfn Pipbin - at least you have your next appointment to focus on.

blackcats - that's weird. I don't know what a CD11 bleed could be unless it's an ov bleed?

Squirrel - good luck on the 2ww. Very curious......

Crazy - fx for you. I hope you get your bfp before next spring.

Pipbin · 30/07/2012 21:53

AF is properly here now.
