Well, feel ashamed. Seems it was a chemical pregnancy. Period arrived full force this morning. Preg test negative. What a fool I have been. Good lucj to everyone. I'm through x

Bakingtins · 30/01/2013 17:42

Oh pinkfizz I'm sorry. But why do you feel ashamed? You've done nothing wrong. Shitty luck is all it is. Can completely understand the "straw that breaks the camels back" feeling about another knife in the guts, but I hope we'll see you back at some point. Unmumsnetty ((HUGS)).

PinkFizz - please don't feel ashamed! You've not done anything wrong in posting on here. Mother nature just been super Bitchy to you this month.

yorkiebilb · 31/01/2013 09:08

Fizz so sorry to hear you're out. It really is a load of emotional sh!t!!!!

I'm 10 dpo today and I'm not feeling positive as having lots of cramps indicating AF is on the way! Hmm It really is all v depressing.

fx for everyone else testing soon!

Thundercatsarego · 31/01/2013 09:43

Hi yorkie! What dpo does af normally come for you? Am sending positive vibes your way...

IBelieveInPink · 31/01/2013 09:44

Haven't today no. After yet another bfn yesterday I have given up this month and just waiting for af now. Pah.

CoffeeForSally · 31/01/2013 09:52

AF showed. AAAAAARGH. And it hit me really badly this month emotionally. Had to have a weep on DH this morning.

Bollocks. Sorry to everybody else having a shit time too.

Thundercatsarego · 31/01/2013 09:53

ibip, ic or FRER?

I am the acronym idiot queen

Thundercatsarego · 31/01/2013 09:53

Oh pants pants pants coffee, that is crap. Sad Angry

yorkiebilb · 31/01/2013 09:55

Sorry to hear that Pink when's your AF due?

Hi thunder how are you doing? Thx for the positive vibes. Think my typical cycle was 29 days but my last one after mc was 31 days so who knows! My AF was 8 days long this cycle (usually 5) so could be a longer cycle this time as well.

yorkiebilb · 31/01/2013 09:57

Sorry to see your post Coffee what a load of crap crap crap!!!

Thundercatsarego · 31/01/2013 10:05

Yeah I'm alright thanks yorkie, I start my new job soon so I'm feeling positive about that, and the positivity has no link whatsoever with getting a bfp (in fact for the job it would be better if I didn't), so it feels like a nice extra balance to my life. For now anyway!

So you've probably got another 4+ days til af? Do you usually cramp like this? I don't reckon you're out yet by any stretch. Nor ibip. And for coffee, I prescribe a little retail therapy treat or some Wine, pâté, soft cheese or just good old chocolate.

IBelieveInPink · 31/01/2013 10:17

Oh boo Sally. And many more words that I shouldn't say. It sucks. :(

Thunder still on the ic's. Not wasting £5s. Have actually done quite well with my money this month for once so may treat myself to something ridiculously expensive when af shows up on Saturday.

Yorkie- a longer cycle sounds possible? Maybe?

CoffeeForSally · 31/01/2013 10:19

RAR RAR RAR. Thanks. I have gone through (a) woeful (DH to me this morning: "Are you... sure you should be going to work like this?") (b) angry and now on to (c) RIGHT THEN let's have another go (with a side of angry). Already. In a morning. Now with extra Bvits as I need a longer damn lp, 9 days is clearly not cutting it.

I am going to console myself with the shiny new(ish) car we bought yesterday. And having my hair done at the weekend. And Wine although maybe not for a few hours...

yorkie and ibip you're not out till you're out. Fingers crossed and positive vibes.

thunder yay for the new job! It's great you've got good stuff going on in Other Areas - I think if I couldn't be positive about SOMETHING at the moment I would be hiding under the bed and refusing to come out.

yorkiebilb · 31/01/2013 10:19

Ahh glad to hear you're feeling a bit more positive thunder. New job sounds like a very good distraction - maybe if you're thinking about it less a BFP will just sneak up on you! When do you start?

Yep I normally get cramps on and off from when I ovulate until a few days after my AF. Normally I get sore boobs in the run up to my AF but not this time so think maybe my body is still getting back into the swing of things post mc. I'm off on our delayed honeymoon on Monday so if AF arrives I'm just going to go crazy on the booze when I'm away!!! Grin
