When - three cp in a row, poor you. That must have been really stressful one after another. I am glad your GP is looking into it for you. Fx for a sticky one very soon! x

kittykatskumkwat · 02/09/2012 07:14

Grin at posy!!! I had Victoria plum, i don't know how you remember all that, think I must have been about 7, did they smell of fruit or am I mad?!?
Almond- get dtd again, just to be sure, I found last cycle the same, had random EWCM a week after I expected ov, dtd just incase and that was definatly the one that caught, yes it will suck if you have to wait another 2 wks but better to suck with a chance then suck knowing there's no way you could be pg!!
No bleeding still, think that's definatly over now but don't think I'm going to be able to dtd now for another 4 days as dh shifts class with mine Sad the only thing I can do is wake him up today when lo has a nap about 11 but he will only have had 7 ish hours sleep and may be totally not up for it..... It sucks because they has got to be my key time. No EWCM or pains though as yet

posy thanks. It hasn't been great but at least I get them over and done with really quickly. With the last two I was very certain they would end badly as the line was stupidly faint. At the moment I have managed to convince myself I just have a stupidly fertile uterus that keepings letting embryos implant that don't have a chance.
Got some fertility tests coming up so hopefully they will say everything is normal and I will just have to wait for a decent embryo.

kitty sorry the timing is rubbish for you dtd wise. You have just stopped bleeding in thr last few days though so hopefully ov is a week off for you.

kittykatskumkwat · 02/09/2012 09:56

Thanks when, I guess itd be better if I was later this week but at the same time I want it to be now lol then I don't have to wait so long!! Can't believe I used to have cycles that were only 26 ish days long, they seem like distant memory's now

AlmondAvocado · 03/09/2012 09:19

Hi Girls

Just checking in...so CD37 now and still no AF?!! Bored now! I think I'm going to give it another week then call Docs. Anyone poas soon?? I think I'm out for Sep now and relegated straight to Oct Sad.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 03/09/2012 09:21

Oh almond!!!! I feel your pain!
It might mean you pg?? Grin
Have u ladies used conceive plus? I'm tempted to give it a go!
The 3 times a day was a lady from other thread! I can't even get DH to do it twice Blush

kittykatskumkwat · 03/09/2012 11:11

Lol I don't think many people do it more then twice aday if they are over 20 Smile not sure wether you should anyway as aparently you get better sperm if it has a day or so to develop or was that a TTC myth??!
Almond, how anoying I was there last cycle accept the one after mc was 32 days, it was the next that I didn't get a super faing bfp til day 38!!
Fx it's because your pregnant

suzydelarosa · 03/09/2012 22:18

Hi all. Hope you're all well. I'm on cd 21 and already I poas this morning. What's wrong with me?!Blush

I know implantation prob has yet to happen if it's gonna happen. Really should invest my stocks in clearblue. Think I've prob spent about £500 this year in ovulation and pg tests!

Hope everyone is doing okay.

AlmondAvocado · 03/09/2012 22:34

Thanks girls! I bought some cheap dip stick pg tests off Ebay (Suzy maybe get some of those as they are £1.99 for 20 so you can poas guilt free) which I have been doing every 2/3 days and all negative. Really dont think I am but nice thought! I am thinking of going for some acupuncture as I have heard that is good...

Lol was thinking about getting some Conceive Plus. Have you heard good things?

3 times a day??! We would be lucky to sustain EOD...

Been trying to distract myself with house hunting. We werent going to start till next year but my DH is so fed up with me that he suggested we start so I can put my mind to something else. Only thing is that I think we will be putting the house on the market in a couple of weeks...eeek!

MunchinMango · 04/09/2012 11:19

Hi ladies how is everyone doing? What's this three times a day??? Not a chance in our house lol!!! Id say only happens in fifty shades books!!!

Almond any luck yet? I feel your pain it's do frustrating.

Suzy don't beat yourself up I'm a poasaholic!!!!

Kitty glad the bleeding definitely stopped. You never know you might ov later than expected this month.

Sorry I can't name check everyone as on phone here.

I'm on cd 29, tender boobs so feel AF should come soon. Fx. I poas on sat and it was -ve. It's ok as I never really was able to tell when or if I ov. Just want a new cycle to start and get on with it.

kittykatskumkwat · 04/09/2012 20:08

Suzy I'd poas everyday if they wernt so bloody expensive!!!
Munchin sorry about bfn there is still time although I know what you mean about wanting to just be out of limbo land!
Cd22 for me but I fully expect ov to be late and don't think it's happened yet, hopefully in the next few days as I really hate these long cycles, luckily dh last shift tonight then 4 days off so I will try and optimise my chances with that, we've done it eod since last week bar today where he was too tired Angry hopefully back on track tomorrow

MunchinMango · 05/09/2012 07:50

Well done kitty on the eod. Don't think I'd even have the energy for that. I'd say you prob will ov late so shift work over in time.

Well in my true poasaholic style I decided to poas on opk this morning as I was getting alot of cramps on one side. So I got a smiley face. First one I have gotten in months!! Nearly as excited as if it was a bfp. How sad is that??? So I'm going to have to find energy for dtd over next few days. I'm on cd 30 in my second cycle since erpc last April. It's just I'm always interested in other peoples experiences.

How is everyone else doing?

kittykatskumkwat · 05/09/2012 08:22

GrinGrinGrinmunchin on the smiley, I definatly get almost as happy seeing that as bfp, it's like a little nod of approval, the lines just arnt the same!!
Cd30 is late! Do you often have long cycles?

kittykatskumkwat · 05/09/2012 08:24

It's definatly ov is it and not a + for hpt, opk can pick that up aswell although I surpose if you only did a neg hpt yesterday it's probably unlikely ?

MunchinMango · 05/09/2012 09:43

Ah kitty don't be putting ideas in my head lol!!! I'm in work and nothing to poas on lol. I got a -ve hpt on sat which was cd 26. Since I came off pill a year ago I have actually had only three AF!!! And I was pg in middle of all that. So the fact that I'm ovulating at cd 30 is a huge plus. Years ago I used to be a regular 28-32ish cycle. But I've always been on pill when I'm not ttc or pg.

How are you?

MunchinMango · 05/09/2012 09:46

Oh and I should say when I got my AF in aug it lasted 14 days!! No joking. So nothing is normal.

kittykatskumkwat · 05/09/2012 10:09

Oh god!!!14 days, well either way then the Smile is a good thing, atleast it's an indication of something, get to it tonight!!
I'm good, I've not done anything to track ov this month as I knew its be all over the place but kinda wish I had, I'm obviously hoping we still catch but if we don't I won't be too gutted as I always think the body probably does benifit from that second clear out and also will be going on holl's in oct which is all in so I will be able to drink!! I was of last time and it was anoying to miss out on lunch time sunny beers so I know I'll have a good month anyway Smile

suzydelarosa · 05/09/2012 17:26

Hi all. For those who love to poas - like me - check out the website www.countdowntopregnancy.com. It shows you the likelihood, if you are positive, by testing at each day past ovulation and shows the stats of how other preg women fared. I started to obsess over my results as I tested every daypastovulation. Sorry I sound like a sales rep for the site... I'm really not!!

suzydelarosa · 05/09/2012 17:27

Meant to say below 'the likelihood of getting a BFp...'

AlmondAvocado · 05/09/2012 22:34

Hi Girls

Munchin woop to the Smile face!! I'd feel the same actually as you know there's a real chance for the BFP if u DTD!!

Still no change here...CD40 tomorrow. Do you think I should go to the doctors? Not really sure what they can say though...

MunchinMango · 05/09/2012 22:39

Ok kitty defo not pg as I couldn't help myself and poas and got bfn. So at least we know I am only gearing up to Ov. I can understand when you are this close to your hols that you'd like to properly enjoy them. I was like that during the summer sorry did I say summer, what summer. are you going somewhere hot?

Hi Suzy great to know I have a poas buddy lol. Will check out the site on as I think Ov has passed. How are you doing?

Lolcbcblemonlime · 05/09/2012 22:43

Almond that is a real pain. I'm not sure docs can do anything though. Why don't you call the EPU that helped you with mc? They might be able to shed some light over the phone!?

MunchinMango · 05/09/2012 23:34

Almond I know it's so frustrating. I got to cd 103 if that's any consolation. I know thought of that happening to you would drive you nuts. I suppose our bodies will just do their own thing. Are you taking any b vitamins? That might help. But also as lolcbcb says give your gp/epu a call , it might be good to talk to A medical professional.

kittykatskumkwat · 06/09/2012 07:25

Oh almond it sucks!! I wouldn't bother calling the docs or epu yet as I know they said to me your next period should come in 4-6 wks so I think at the moment they would just say that within the normal bracket but after another week maybe if no change? It gets really depressing when you know that as it gets later you have no chance of bfp if you stoped dtd at a certain point, it is possible you didn't ov this month as you didn't pick up a surge did you? What date did you carry on testing till? That or it was really late Sad
Munchin sorry it was bfn but atleast you know it's ov and can gear up Smile
Im cd 25 not sure of I've ovd yet, no real tell yet, one thing thats weird though is I still have quite sore boobs, I know you can get this after ov so maybe I have?sont normally have it though but no it's not because of bfp as had to do one a few days ago for the epu as the last the week before was still there although v v faint they asked for repeat and that was defo neg

MunchinMango · 06/09/2012 07:53

Hi kitty. I've had sore boobs the last couple of days and sure I got my smiley yest. (btw dtd last night) so maybe you are ov now????? Did you do opk? Or else then either bfp :) or AF :( is on way. The symptoms for all three are to fecking similar!!
