Am on cd24 and just got a bfn. Drats!

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 09:21

Is that not abit early Suzy? This is your first cycle after mc isn't it? It's usually atleast a few days to a week later!!
I have JUST got a Smile opk cd 26!!! Sometimes my cycles are only that long!!

suzydelarosa · 08/09/2012 10:11

Yeah it's a bit early. It's 2nd cycle after mc and I'm back on track reg 29 day cycle. I turn 43 next month so feel like I'm running out of time. Sorry I'm moaning!

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 18:13

Don't feel bad that's what we're here for but have to warn you my second cycle after mc was worst then the first, I got af 32 days after mc then the second cycle although I fell pg again I didn't get my bfp til cd41, a super faint line 2 days before and my cycles were 27-32 days max before so it did out them out quite alot
Fx it's just too early

AlmondFrangipani · 09/09/2012 18:31

Kitty noooooo! I dont want a 2nd dodgy cycle!! I am still in limbo CD44 now and no sign still. Although I was a bit teary today but dont know if that was over tiredness as I have worked 7 days in a row...

Feel like I cant contribute much to the board at the moment. Wish I was poas stick, doing OPKs or just something other than waiting. Sigh...

Hope you have all enjoyed the lovely weather!

kittykatskumkwat · 09/09/2012 19:15

Almond have you tried any more hpt??

kittykatskumkwat · 09/09/2012 19:15

Did you get a +ve opk or did you give up trying in the end?

AlmondFrangipani · 09/09/2012 19:28

Kitty I did OPKs up to CD20 then ran out. I left it for about a week and have done them on and off. I really thought my AF was going to be here about CD30...I have done lots of pg tests but all negative. I dont know if I have ovulated or not to be honest. Bloody well hope so as dont fancy waiting much longer!

kittykatskumkwat · 09/09/2012 21:26

I think you must have ovd after cd20, it would explain lack of af, I got a +opk cd26 this month so af now due cd40! My cycles never used to go over 32 days. It really sucks though, last month I was wishing for it every day and it felt like every day took forever, it's that shit place where you think if im not pregnant I just want to start again

jessiethecowgirl · 10/09/2012 08:55

Hi Everyone - its been a quite a while since I've posted on here, and still need to go through and properly catch up on the thread. Hope everyone is okay!

Sorry Almond about lack of AF or BFP.. how frustrating. Hopefully you'll get one soon!!

Today is CD21 for me since MC and I finally got a smiley on my OPK this morning! So roughly a week later than normal. Quick question: We DTD last night, and will again this afternoon, but then parents are coming this evening for a week so don't know if we'll get the chance to again. Do you think that will be enough or should we really aim to do tonight and tomorrow too?

kittykatskumkwat · 10/09/2012 09:35

Hi Jessie yeay on the Smile your only 2 days after me and lol so we can all obsess together, I only dtd the night before and the night after, to be honist if sperm can last up to 5-7 days I think your fine only doing it once over that time but maybe skip tonight and do it tomorrow if you can fit it in just incase it pops later? I think before ov tends to be more sucsessful then after from what I've read, think when said it was the most sucsessful 48 hrs before ov

kittykatskumkwat · 10/09/2012 09:37

P.s twice in one day is alot more then most of us ever do Wink

MunchinMango · 10/09/2012 11:04

Hiya ladies. Yeah to kitty and Jessie for ov. It's great seeing the smiley face. Well I got mine last week in morning time and only got to dtd that night and following night. So I'm hoping also that two dtd was enough!!! Fx!!!

Suzie I think as kitty said you tested too early. Any updates since ? I'm heading fast for 41 so I'm in same boat as yourself. Did you read an article written by presenter of one of morning programmes on daily mail. She had two kids and is 45 and would love another. She totally summed up how it feel.

Almond I feel your frustration. But at the risk of you throwing something at me you just have to relax and trust it will return but unfortunately in its own good time. Having said that I have no patience and you can imagine how strung out i was after 103 days!!!! Now on my second cycle since mc and I am on cd 35 but only consolation is I got smiley opk lady week so hopefully I'm on 2ww!!!

suzydelarosa · 10/09/2012 11:57

hi munchinmango --- 103 days must be a world record!

I too saw that article in the Daily Mail and although I'm not a fan of that newsreader I also completely understood. I think if my window for childbirth was set, like when you start and finish school or University - you know when it starts and end and you can close the door - then I would be less emotional. Instead the slow slipping away of fertility is very hard to manage emotionally. And I still feel young (and relatively cool)!

I'm on 14DPO and I can feel some cramping so fairly convinced it'll be AF in today or tomorrow. Damn, damn, damn. I'm in America on biz next ovulation so it'll be end October til I can try again. Gutted.

Hope everyone else is doing okay esp on their wtf cycles.

suzydelarosa · 10/09/2012 12:40

Damn AF arrived. shoooot.

littlepinkfizz · 10/09/2012 13:56

Sorry to hear that suzy .im due damned AF tomorrow 2nd cycle after mc but have had sore boibs last few days which on,y have come before when pregnant. However did two early responses yesterrdat and today- BFN. Really really disappointed even though we only Dtd once but when ov.

littlepinkfizz · 10/09/2012 13:56

Oops boobs not boibs!lol

MunchinMango · 10/09/2012 14:21

Really sorry to hear AF has arrived Suzy. Maybe hope for a late or early ov next month to get around your trip.

Fx littlepinkfizz.

jessiethecowgirl · 10/09/2012 14:58

Sorry to hear about AF Suzy, and yes fx littlepink

littlepinkfizz · 10/09/2012 15:02

Thanks ladies but trying to touch reality and accept that AF on her wicked way to me!

suzydelarosa · 10/09/2012 16:49

Remember little pink it only takes one time. Most of my pregnancies including my lovely daughter, was just one time.. so don't lose hope!

littlepinkfizz · 10/09/2012 17:10

I know suzy ! Was hopeful with the sore boobs but then two bfn's. Awaiting the lovely visit from my AF tomorrow...

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 10/09/2012 18:39

Hi all. Hope you all had chance to enjoy the nice weather. I've been away to the lovely New Forest which was just the break I needed. Didn't need to DTD whils't away although we did manage it twice Day 23 and still no smiley! Not liking this WTF cycle!

Suzy sorry to hear of AF :( and will keep my fingers crossed for littlepink and the rest of you on the 2 week wait.
I will try and read back all of your posts 2mor.

AlmondFrangipani · 11/09/2012 08:51

Hi Girls!
