morning everyone - nearly March - and Spring!

Still no AF - this is 4th week since MC and 20 days since I stopped bleeding - from what I have read these dates are by no means abnormal - but I really hope to get a period this week so I can get going!!

My 'usual' cycle is either 24 or 27 days - have passed the 24 and get to the 27 day start on Wednesday - again fully aware that cycles after MC can be odd for a while - but in the absence of knowing what is going on this is what I have to cling to - so please bear with my irrational witterings.

I conceived my son in March so naturally I have decided March is the month for me

heading for a fall arent I?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

feel better know.

I cleaned my bathroom yesterday to within an inch of its life - felt good to do something.

but in bad news I had a chocolate crossiant for breakfast so the diet hasnt started well.

I need to get a grip!

Floweroct · 25/02/2013 12:35

I'm with you on back to square 1!

However af has finally appeared woop woop! Nearly 10 weeks after erpc so happy however this is the last time I will be happy to see af! I can now also start my clomid for the first time tmrw so for the first time this year I finally feel I can move on.

Sorry for going in but just had to share with people who would understand :)

Fingers crossed for you Spanish, I have bought in a healthy lunch today but then just bought some chocolate to celebrate :)

SpanishLady · 25/02/2013 13:16

never feel you are 'going on' flower - this is what we need from this thread, somewhere to go and talk about however we are feeling without feeling judged.

am so pleased for you and agree now shes been she can bog off again!

I think I am going to just accept Im going to eat chocolate today.

Today was suppose to be my 12 week scan - keep thinking what if etc - well what if doesnt help nor does wishing (apparantly) - as Im never married to John Cusack or a millonaire - or pregnant.

though I have done something silly and bought some pregancy tests (first response) and there is a vague second line if I tilt it - have never used first response before - does it usually do that? also its not right next to the main line but a bit away.

it was stupid cos now Im hopeful we somehow managed to get pg without a clue where was in my cycle!

jmf294 · 25/02/2013 13:53

I totally understand Thunder and Floweroct about being back at square one and just the endless waiting.
I'm living my life by counting down weeks by my possible cycles and its horrible. I am useless at waiting at the best of times!!

I have decided that this cycle won't work as I probably didn't ovulate.

Spanish- I should be 13 weeks today so I feel your pain. Last week the day of my booked scan I felt really sad.

Thunderbuns · 25/02/2013 13:55

Hello all.

spanish tell us more about this line!! Is there any colour in it? Did you use fmu?

I am in a better mood today. OH and I had a good chat no shouting and stomping around by me this time about him being away at the wrong time and he's told the clients that he needs to be home the second half of the week. Not perfect but if my cycle does similar to last time he should be home for smiley day. I am feeling very appreciative of this at the moment, especially when it means he might miss out on some money which is no small thing when you're self employed.

jmf294 · 25/02/2013 14:14

Hurrah for your husband Thunderbuns!!

SpanishLady · 25/02/2013 14:31

I second the hurrah for Mr T-Buns!

well its very faint but pink and about half a centimetre away from the control line.

I basically can see something but dont trust it or me. My DH has said Im to ignore it and wait till at least the weekends.

He says if I am pg he is cross as we had agreed we would wait for at least one AF to start trying again to make sure Im ok and we know where we are with my cycle dates.

He then emailed back saying he didnt mean to seem cold but he is worried how I'll feel if I am not.

he is right I am too obssessed.

SpanishLady · 25/02/2013 14:34

jmf294 - I want to give you a hug and hope that would make it better for you - it cant I know but I wish it could x

SpanishLady · 25/02/2013 14:36

I dont use FMU - I am literally going by the most ridiculous of 'facts'.

I had lots of EWCM on 13th & 14th of Feb - but tested neg for OV both those days. I had sex on 16th. thats it - If I had ov on 15th or 16th then that might explain it but I have no idea!

ChocolateCremeEggBag · 25/02/2013 19:39

Hello all!
We managed to get DS into bed reasonably on time before 7 so now watchn the E! Oscars recorded from last night
I have started on the Pringles already but in my defence they are the last we'll have in the house as used to be able to get them cheaply through work. Work have now sold Pringles to Kellogg's (special K Pringles?) so no more.
Which my bum will be happy about

CD17 and finally got a Peak on my CBFM today so just another 2 nights of sex week to go! Which will be a relief as am still trying to get rid of a cold.

Thunderbuns · 25/02/2013 19:41

spanish I think this sounds like it might be a good sign in terms of a bfp. Are you going to poas with fmu tomorrow or do as señor says and wait til the weekend? I can imagine that it's an anxious time For both of you

The only other thread I'm on here had two bfps today- and it's been ages since there was one on there. May this be the start of good things for us!

And yes, mr TB is a gem.

jmf, totally understand your sad day. I have managed to avoid too many date checks but realised today I'd be around 6 months now.

How's everyone else? ibip you there buddy?

Thunderbuns · 25/02/2013 19:42

X post choc, good work with the dtd effort through the lurgy!

IBelieveInPink · 25/02/2013 20:12

Hey hey! Thunder, another hurrah for mr thunder! Very considerate of him. Good to know you will be in this month. :)

I have been a bit quiet again, been feeling so negative, and didn't want to bring everyone else down. But, am on the more positive side.
According to my app, is fertile time now. An this matches exactly with the copious amount of ewcm that has arrived (gross). Which is giving me confidence as last month I didn't have any, at any time!
So mr pink blue?? has been on duty every night for the last 3 days, and will be later again. If it is meant to be this month, we have given it every opportunity to happen!
Now.... Just need to stay away from the sticks.....

Thunderbuns · 25/02/2013 20:30

Hey pinkster, good to see you but sorry you've been feeling shitty. Sounds like you've been doing very well with grabbing this fertile window though- impressive shagging too!

My next hurdle is not being too much pressure to actually do it- one thing at a time though.

You still got your stick stash?

SpanishLady · 25/02/2013 20:44

Good luck I believe!

I'm not going to poas till later in the week even the weekend if I can manage it. I just don't believe it to be honest - must be an aberration though am glad my dh said he could see a faint (v faint) line as well - as wondered if I was a little crazy given I had to squint and stand on one foot to be able to see the 'line' I think I can see.

I'm too nervous.

IBelieveInPink · 25/02/2013 21:35

I still have my stick stash. Although after last months ridiculous amount of poas, I have set myself 1 date. Friday the 8th will be the ONLY poas day. Because although tht will be 2 days early, I am off to a spa and would quite like to sit in the jacuzzi if it bfn. And I WILL not poas before then. much

Spanish, wait till at least Friday. Then you will definitely know one way or another. And can have a few several wines if not. :)

Thunderbuns · 25/02/2013 21:46

Ok good plans poas girls. We can have poas Friday for the next couple of weeks at least? And will not talk of it in between times.

My next af should be due around 22nd/23rd so I could do that Friday. Any takers for the 15th?

shellshock7 · 25/02/2013 21:51

Aaaggh I want to POAS a week on Thurs, please can I Miss Thunder Grin

Mummytothearkbuilder · 25/02/2013 22:34

Exciting POAS news - fingers crossed for some positive results ladies.

I am nowhere near POAS so will get excited about yours instead!!

Good luck ladies xx

IBelieveInPink · 25/02/2013 23:54

Poas Friday. Yes. :)
runs off to hide sticks

I actually think I will be much better this month. I have lots to keep me busy in between now and then. And due to last months cycle being so messed up, DH is on rape week duty for at least another week from now. Just in case.

Thunderbuns · 26/02/2013 07:38

Of course shell, shame it's not the Friday but I suppose it's not all about a neat system....Wink

SpanishLady · 26/02/2013 08:34

well I poas stick this morning to use first wee of the day and a second line came up straight away - not as dark as the control line but no mistaking and darker then yesterday - which was done after lunch in the toilets at work!

However, DH and I wonder if it can be something left over from my MC? I had a BFN with a digital clear blue on Thurs 14th Feb - but isnt First reponse or the non-digital strips more sensitive then the digital ones? I am wondering if my hormone levels are still high emough to be picked up on the very sensitive strips but wouldnt be on the digital.

I have only moved on a fraction further from yesterday - I am definitely getting a line but have my doubts as per above.

So I can only wait for a few days to give a clear blue digital best chance to pick anything up - I think if I get a digital BFP then its a clear reversal of the result from 2 weeks ago.

anyone heard of this kind of thing?

Thunderbuns · 26/02/2013 08:37

What's happened to the system?!!

Seriously though, this sounds like a bfp to me, spanish. I can't believe the tests are so different that one gets a clear positive two weeks after a bfn on the other. Having said that, digi tests are not as sensitive by far so time will definitely tell.

How do you both feel if it is a positive?

SpanishLady · 26/02/2013 09:42

T-buns - I am a crazed woman I have to admit. Apologies for disobeying the system.

its the digital result that would be the decider for me as surely a reversal of results isnt right unless a) Im pg or b) something is left over from MC. So I have to find the fortitude to wait abit longer to try - I am guessing I am 10 or 11 today though just checked my diary and in my last pregnancy I tested positive on digital at 10 dpo.

its not how I thought this would play out (eg if fortunate enough to get a BFP again)

If I am pg I would be very happy and will just ignore the worries of another MC - as long as it turned out alright my DH would come round too.

Bakingtins · 26/02/2013 09:46

Sounds like a BFP to me, Spanish. If you've had a negative 2 weeks ago I think any HCG from MC is well and truly gone. Congratulations!
