Good luck red!

Ok, fruit animal names: fruit bat, (c)Antolope melon, dragon fruit (ok, dragons aren't real...) it's really hard actually!

Hi chilled red & sunshine

Today is cd4 for me. Am just starting to feel positive again about a fresh new cycle. Thanks for the info chilled, I gave the baby aspirin a go but it didn't do too much. Someone else personal messages me and suggested vitamin D supplements could help. Not just what's in the normal preg vits but a mega dose (I'm giving that a try at the moment).

Also chilled re the running when pregnant, I couldn't do it either. Tried to do 6 miles 1 week before af and had to stop half way. It didn't stop implantation though.

I had a GP app, where she just told me all my tests were normal so it's off to the gynocologist for me. Hope I can get in soon.

Sounds like quite a few of you are still due a BFP any day now. Will keep my fx for you.

woody17 · 25/09/2012 20:08

red and *sunshine fx that you both get your BFPs in the next few days!

So it's CD3 now. Think this is going to feel like a long month!

weechops · 25/09/2012 20:47

red and sunshine keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you both.

6dpo today and boobs are a bit tender. Obviously I haven't been prodding them to see if they are tender. Hmm.

SunshineOutdoors · 25/09/2012 21:18

Oops sorry when I must have missed something somewhere along the way... Obviously you're not waiting for af Blush hope she never comes in Oct (or the next several months) anyway.

Thanks for all the hopeful thoughts sent my way..... I am kind of resigned to think it's not going to happen but still a tiny part of me is saying 'but you could be....' I'm sure you all know what that's like though.

I just want the week to fly by so that if it's a no then I can find out and scoff choccies and wine until I'm ready to try again.

red please keep us posted test tomorrow

SunshineOutdoors · 25/09/2012 21:19

weechops I hope the days go quickly for you too. Fx it's your month

winkle2 · 25/09/2012 23:13

Good luck Red and sunshine!

Cd8 here! Took last of the soy. Have had no side effects apart from a few spots.

Dtd starts tomorrow!!

redstrawberry · 26/09/2012 06:51

Woke up a bit early this morning to check knickers and there's some watery pink specs of blood - so not testing yet.

I think she's coming. But I had very painful cramping last night so could feel AF on its way. Will see how today goes. I'm on an edge literally. Temps have remained elevated two days in a row. They should be dropping right if she's about to come?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 26/09/2012 07:16

That is promising, red. Fx it is your month :-)

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 26/09/2012 10:29

Good luck red!

Tested again this morning with a 20mlu internet cheapy, bfn (still on 8dpo) but my 10mlu ones should arrive today so at least I can test tomorrow with a nice sensitive one! I don't feel pregnant at all, have no "symptoms" now except for a sharp twinge down there earlier, so I'm feeling a bit sad and negative about it all right now, although that's probably just pmt. Thank god I have you lot to moan to about this.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 26/09/2012 11:39

Oh bless you james testing at 8dpo is only ever going to give you a bfn (especially with a 20 mIu Internet cheapy). If I were you I would just ignore that test result. Fx for you and red

winkle2 · 26/09/2012 14:03

Step away from the tests banana! It's way too early :)

redstrawberry · 26/09/2012 15:30

the twinges is a good sign james and 8dpo is way too early. Fx for you too.

My spotting hasn't started fully, but its a bit of brown cm now and then. So I guess I am out this month. I am cramping so bad today, so think she must be on her way.

redstrawberry · 26/09/2012 16:40

The cramps and spotting have increased. Tested and as expected - bfn. So I guess I'll get started for October now.

SunshineOutdoors · 26/09/2012 17:37

Oh no red I'm sorry Sad

James I've got my fingers crossed for you. It's too early to test but I know how you feel about being sad. The second half of the 2ww is horrid.

I'm still holding out testing, don't know how long that will last though Grin

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 26/09/2012 17:46

Shouldn't you use FMU this early, red? Are you sure it is AF?

winkle2 · 26/09/2012 18:31

Sorry red :(

kittykatskumkwat · 26/09/2012 19:11

Sorry red Sad

woody17 · 26/09/2012 19:36

Ok I have been struggling to count to 5 - I am CD5 now and not CD4. Spotting hasn't finished yet so haven't dtd yet. I really hope that it stops soon so we can get on with ttc.

I'm sorry red

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 26/09/2012 20:29

Sad red

james still got my fx for you.

I'm on cd5 too. Not dtd yet didn't ov last month till about cd26 (no idea why other than a big of a wtf cycle).

resipsa · 26/09/2012 21:46

Phew - just finished a thread update from 13 September onwards - feel like I've run a marathon. So much has gone on that I can't keep up but...

Hello everyone and fx for some more BFPs soon as we head to the end of the year
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes (from ages ago, I know but I haven't been on here since before it except to say congrats to Kitty)
Kick's news is great and liked the idea of asking her about symptoms!
When glad all tests are OK and that there's no CP this month. 51 is a good number! Weird nurse.
Knic hope plans for big day all going smoothly

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 26/09/2012 21:48

Well done on catching up, resipsa!

Our plans are running nicely, thank you :-) Not long now, thankfully...want to be Mrs now!

Did you have a good birthday / holiday?

redstrawberry · 26/09/2012 22:20

Thanks everyone I still feel hopeful for October. Weirdly not feeling too sad about the bfn. Guess I'm finally getting used to the disappointment.

Nic I am 16dpo today so def out. I will keep my fx for you

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 26/09/2012 23:07

That's a real shame, red :-( Glad you're positive about your next cycle though.

Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 26/09/2012 23:10

Thanks for the support! I'm an impatient bugger. Smile

Sorry to hear that red.
