Hi there, thought I would reply to this as all the other threads seem so full. I will be testing around the 24th. Trying again for the first month after 2 darn MCs (September and MArch). Just starting a two week holiday so lots of SWI... Last cycle was longer than usual so I will be expecting Af from 22nd until about 26th.. Having a birthday party on 23rd, which is why I decided to test on 24th. (A little wine) planned.. Good luck.

HI

CamelKnees · 08/06/2012 19:29

Aaaargh. Stupid phone! I'm not some weird shouty social misfit honest!!

Meant to say "hi, please can I join in"

Anyway hello! I'm supposed to be waiting until 19th to test but for various reasons Im going to do it 17th. Seems like a long away yet..... Also a bit gutted as am a bit baffled by my cycle. Month 1 TTC #2 for us so I've only been off the pill 2 and a bit weeks. Body is going mental....

hey ladies, so sorry to hear of your losses - you are so brave to keep going :)

I am not going to test this month as am trying to take a more relaxed approach to TTC now! TTC DC2 for 1 year, 1mc, 1 ectopic, 1 tube left! BUT I'm joining the thread as AF would be due around June 20th!

FX for all of us!

CamelKnees · 09/06/2012 15:39

Hi berries.

Wow you ladies have been through a lot. Really hope there is good news around the corner for the 3 of you. Sounds like its about time.

Have you all at least had any sort of explanation as to why there have been so many difficulties or is just all out down to bad luck? I don't know how you even start to cope with all of that but I think personally I'd deal with it better with an explanation.

fanjodisfunction · 09/06/2012 18:34

I shall be testing on the 19th, my first DD was stillborn 13 months ago and Ive had two early miscarraiges since.

I have already been symptom spotting dont know why I do it to myself have a lower back ache today, and that has been a sign in my three pregnancies.

God that sounds depressing three pregnancies and no baby!

Ellypoo · 10/06/2012 11:26

Hi
I will be testing on 25th unless af gets me first
My DD1 died when she was 2 days old on NYE and this is 4th cycle of TTC so trying not to get my hopes up again.

Hope it's a lucky month for us all!

Ellypoo · 10/06/2012 11:37

Oh god it's so crap fan, really hope this is your month xx

So sorry to hear about your son white, what was his name if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry about your MCs too cotton, how far along were you?

monkeybutt · 10/06/2012 11:37

Hi! I'll be testing hoping around 25-26th. I'm about as new as they get to this part of the forum, DH & I only got married just over 3 weeks ago and we've been TTC for 4. We're just on the end of OV so still at it like rabbits!!!

I'm also thinking with every twinge/pain/feeling "pregnancy sympton" e.g. minor period pain-type cramping today. Too excited to be rational at the moment!!

Sorry to all of you that have lost your precious babies Sad let's hope this month brings some BFP happiness your way.

iloveberries · 10/06/2012 18:24

fanjo elly - so sorry for your losses..

camel - i can't speak for everyone else but i was told mine were just "sometimes these things happen" which isn't massively helpful.

MN does make you realise how lucky you are to even have one healthy child though so i definitely count my blessings more than i used to.

Been napping like crazy lately, i promised myself i wouldn't ss but it's hard!

hellokittydrivesmenuts · 11/06/2012 20:28

may i intrude ladies? i am unsure i usually have a 28 day ccycle but did not ovulate until day 18 so do i wait 2 weeks after this date or test on day 29?
if i wait til period due it will be saturday the 16th june if i wait until 2 weeks from ovulation it will be 19th june so would love to hold hands with you all on this 2ww, i also started tests for probs TTC but am still holding out for a miracle xx

fanjodisfunction · 11/06/2012 20:37

iloveberries its so hard not to ss isnt it? I find I do it all the time and then second guess it. Ive had a headache for the past two to three days and today its not there, so I was thinking oh I might be pg and now Im thinking Im not. I know that the symptoms dont really start till implantation, but there is Early Pregnancy Factor which is suppose to dull down your immune system so that your body does not reject the embyro. This EPF can make you feel a little sick apparently but not always.

Ive always said wouldnt it be nice if your pee just changed colour when you were.

hellokitty thats a hard one, implantation can occur 7 days ofter ovulation, but its more likely 10 to 12 days, thats why you can test a couple of days before your due. I would test when you normally expect your AF. and take it from there.

monkeybutt · 12/06/2012 09:44

Fanjo - if only it were that simple :)

I've had a rough couple of days; v.painful water infection, headaches and on Sunday I slept for 13 hours straight; which I never do - I'm lucky if I get 6-7 a night. Fingers crossed, today is my last OV day so will be jumping on DH when I get home!!

I don't think I've ever wanted it to be "that" time of the month as much as I do now. I did get a bit hasty, I had to provide a sample for the Dr so it would have been rude not to test; right??? (-tive, of course).

BridgetandtheHairyBrigands · 12/06/2012 14:09

Hello Ladies, my heart goes out to everyone above that has sadly experienced losses. I so wish I had right the words...

Please may I join this thread? My AF should be due 19th June-ish but I miscarried at the end of April and I'm not sure if my cycle is entirely back in sync yet.

To be honest I don't really think a BFP is on the cards for me as we only had unprotected sex on day 12. Post-MC DP and I are in this weird limbo where neither of us are really discussing whether we are trying or not. Probably a bit bonkers but I'm sort of afraid to speak to him about it - I'm not even sure what I'd want him to say!

I've also already got sore boobs (but definitely PMS soreness rather than early pregnancy feelings) which I think is pretty much conclusive for me.

Anyway, I know I'm going to feel sad when AF arrives and it's not really something I can share with anyone in real life.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

posypoo · 12/06/2012 14:41

Hello all - I am due AF around 20th so may test around then too. I am so very sorry for everyone's losses. You are such strong women to get through all that. All my fingers are crossed for you ladies this month!

I am ttc no.2 and not many symptoms so far. I always manage to convince myself that I am pregnant even when there is no chance so I don't know what's normal and what's not anymore!

fanjodisfunction · 12/06/2012 15:50

posypoo I'm the same and the times I've convinced myself I'm not I have been. But then I always know on the day of testing because the cramping is different.

I'm quite ill al the moment got a sickness bug, so been in bed all day. Worrying that if I am pf has this affected it?

whiteandyelloworchid · 12/06/2012 18:08

i'm sure we will have some luck on this thread.

it amazes me, how strong we can be when we really need to.

OP posts:
CamelKnees · 12/06/2012 20:21

Evening all. From the sounds of it there has been some super shitty luck experienced by some ladies on this thread. Surely if there is any karma in the world there need to be some BFPs winging their way to you. Keeping everything crossed (and when I say everything I do mean everything. Too tired and dizzy to let DH jump aboard now!)

White and yellow I'm slightly horrified that that was all they could offer you by way of explanation! Surely that doesn't really help you with deal with it all.

My heart goes out to the rest of you ladies that have suffered losses.

Bring in all the wee and all the sticks next week... (I've not got an enviable collection of little lids and small receptacles that can be wee-ed into - its like a new hobby)

CamelKnees · 12/06/2012 20:31

Can I also just add another random symptom to put it to the vote on this thread.

Breathlessness anyone?

I do not remember this from first time around but it comes on a couple of times a day. Just googled it and apparently can be associated with early pregnancy (like every other fricking symptom you care to dream up).

whiteandyelloworchid · 12/06/2012 21:37

camel, have you got me muddled with someone else, i havent said on this thread how they could explain it, perhaps youve got me muddled with iloveberries?

in my son's case, his heart did not develop properlySad

OP posts:
CamelKnees · 12/06/2012 22:05

Shit sorry whiteandyellow you're completely right. No excuse except ongoing sleep deprivation

A really really sorry about your son.

whiteandyelloworchid · 12/06/2012 22:39

thats ok, anyone can get in a muddle.i know i do!

i don't think theres ever a satisfactory reason, i mean i know my son couldnt survive with his heart, but i still do not understand why it didn't form properly in the first place, so even though i know he died from a poorly heart, i still don't understand why

thankyou for your sympathy, its such a weird situation to be in now though as we both dearly want another child, i'm actually dreading being pregnant again in a way as its beyond terrifying for me
