littlepink I am so sorry to hear that, and I don't want to give you false hope but I did have 2 negative results from 2 different brand tests (one being FRER) with my dd and I was in fact 7 weeks gone, again I don't want to get your hopes up but it can happen, on the other hand it may just be your body still adjusting after the mc it can take a very long time before you are completely back to normal... all I can suggest is wait until weekend if witch doesn't show test again.. and I really hope you get a happy result then.

chookford · 11/10/2012 11:31

Think I am out for Oct too, just went to loo and wiped and red/brown on tissue this is what happened last month too before AF hit in full flow the next day... congrats to everyone who has their bfp and good luck to all those left to test in Oct I will be keeping an eye on this thread for more good news but moving to Nov thread now.....I will be bringing cake with me too!

Thanks for that chookford. Really sorry about AF. It's so disappointing.feels like the end of the world.

It's 3rd cycle after mmc but last 2 cycles normal, one 28 days and the other 30 days. Only difference was that last cycle I had really sore boobs which I only ever get when pregnant but AF came normal enough. This time been v v lightly spotting since Sunday.af due this Saturday .had done a clearblue yesterday and imagined I saw a shadow of a line( really think it was wishful thinking). So gutted with FRER result. C'est la vie , I suppose x

Congrats to knicker and keeping fingers crossed for lexi

littlepink it aint over till the witch arrives so keeping all crossed for you too.

chookford meet you at the vending maching for chocolate later (have checked and it is filled up today). Still no AF for me but cramping and tiny spotting so its only a matter of time.

Does anybody of any ideas why I passed a pink blob yesterday?

LexiLoganberry · 11/10/2012 12:40

I'm sorry AF got you chookford

pinkfizz it's not over yet, don't want to give you false hope but not over until AF arrives.

chookford · 11/10/2012 12:57

jelly your on! I need a hell of alot of chocolate this morning! And lots of wine this weekend!!!

pink will keep everything crossed that af doesn't show and you may indeed get a bfp soon!

JellyCurls · 11/10/2012 13:32

AF has got me!!! No messing, no ifs, buts or maybes. Chookfords see you on the next bus

chookford · 11/10/2012 14:38

See you there jelly....

pocopearl · 11/10/2012 16:11

Congrats to all the BFPs so far this month looks like october is going to be a lucky month for everyone

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 17:00

Unfortunately not all of us poco Sad

pocopearl · 11/10/2012 17:39

Sorry littlepink, fingers crossed for next month, Im still hoping for an oct BFP although chances are pretty slim. But you never know

weechops · 11/10/2012 17:41

Hey girls sorry to everyone getting bfn's. Unless I ov in the next 10 mins I'll be getting bfn this month too! Dh is away soon and he'll miss ov by 3 days.

I've hopped on the November bus but don't want to pop myself on the list yet til I at least get this month af over and done with :)

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 11/10/2012 17:46

When are you due to OV? Have sex now before he goes. It's better to DTD 1-4 days pre-OV anyway. Fx.

shineypeacock · 11/10/2012 17:57

Congrats knicker and fx for you lexi

Sorry for all the AF has got, its horrible isnt it Sad

Think im ovluating this week, so trying to dtd every day or every 36hrs or so, but its hard work, hubby just groaned when i pounced on him this morning, but we managed it!! Seems weird sharing our bedroom habits with strangers!!

Had a 26 day cycle last month but have been having regular 28days for the last few months, have decided im not testing until the 25th, got 3 FRER's to use so will be using them as well as IC's!!

xxxxx

stickybeans · 11/10/2012 18:00

Hello ladies. I have been keeping pretty quiet here lately. Congrats to all the BFP and fx for those still waiting. Sorry to the ones with af.

Littlepink I know exactly how you feel. I am currently on my 3rd cycle post mc. Last month I used OPK. We dtd like three days before the smiley, the day of, and two days after! Af still got me! It's so frustrating. This month I've decided not to put in that much effort. I'm still using opk but DH and I are not going to dtd until maybe CD 15. I'm on day 14 now. I think what has been happening is that we would be worn out and stressed by the end of the month. So, guess I'll see how this method works.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 11/10/2012 18:06

Sorry to those af has got and congrats to the new bfps Grin

Am currently 4dpo and trying hard not to ss. Surviving so far but my boobs do feel weirder than normal...! Have just ordered a load of grapefruit juice for next cycle as it seemed to help with EWCM production. Nothing like tempting fate is there Wink

weechops · 11/10/2012 19:24

nic I'm only cd 10 and not due to ov til tuesday so maybe a smallshot left if we dtd as soon as he gets home on friday evening cd18 :) We did manage a quickie in the downstairs loo before he left, just in case. Classy we are :)

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 19:25

Yes sticky it's baffling isn't it and more than a little off putting. We're planning to Dtd the day before, and every other day after the smiley for 4 days. If that don't get us, I give up! Seriously. Back to shagging for lure fun. Oh the joy of those care free days! Wink

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 19:26

purple what is the thing about grapefruit juice? Will try anything x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 11/10/2012 19:37

little it's supposed to help you produce more EWCM. I'm 38 and barely get 1 day of EWCM, using juice extended it to two. You drink 200ml from 5 days before ov to ov. I'm planning on dtd from cd7 when I usually get one day of EWCM next cycle as we haven't been able to dtd earlier than cd11 yet and I read more chance of pg if u dtd on EWCM days rather than ov days. That pans out for when I conceived ds as we only dtd twice that cycle as had given up trying after a huge row and dtd well before ov.

Hth Smile

pocopearl · 11/10/2012 20:07

Had promised DH and self that I would stay well away from POAS this month but new batch of opks arrived this morning so cant help myself. O the neurotism has returned!

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 21:03

Sounds good purple will definitely be trying that. So how long before you ov did you Dtd? It's strange how our bodies work isn't it? I'm 42 so way worse than you and really think I am past it but want a sibling for ds (20 mths) x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 11/10/2012 21:19

little no idea with ds as just assumed I ovd on cd14 I was proper clueless! I think we dtd on cd6 or 7/8 which would tie in with when I normally get ew and I now know I ov cd13. Good luck, I am planning two more dc in quick succession but we will see what happens...

LexiLoganberry · 12/10/2012 07:28

Tested again this morning with a cb plus which give a - or + symbol in blue dye, there is something in the vertical line but it's much much fainter in todays test, feeling a bit down about it and wondering if it might be a chemical pregnanacy.
