You can find a way I'm sure diy shower sex

alyant79 · 06/03/2013 21:21

santa i'm 3 weeks past mc and still getting a bfp. It's rubbish.
Also ttc, so preparing to be very confused in a week or so if AF doesn't show up on time.
For those waiting for AF to ttc: my sister had a mc and NEVER got her AF before falling pg finally 7 months or so later. When I told that to the nurse (who was telling me to wait for AF before ttcing) she said "ok, you can start after 4 weeks, regardless of whether AF comes or not.
Have blatantly ignored her and started ttc roughly 2 and a bit weeks after mc (hoping to catch ovulation)...

choc what might the pinky cm indicate? might have had a bit myself today. what should i not be getting my hopes up about?

fod - ha!!! naughty!

Grin I would believe me, but dp has always refused point blank when his parents are in the house so could take a lot of persuading...
SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 06/03/2013 21:24

WillSanta, if that v v faint line gets darker, that's a possible new pg, fainter, just residual hCG fading away.

diy use it to your advantage.....get the inlaws to babysit and start dogging hahaaa....needs must and all that

JanieLovesCake · 06/03/2013 21:41

ooh diy that could be awkward. but try doing it on the floor rather than on the bed - less creaking that way (going back to the days when i lived at home in the room next to my parents!!)

on another note,'ve got some mega cramps on my right hand side...i know this is the side i ovulated on this month (i feel it a bit crampy when i ov). so this of course means i'm pregnant ya?!

JanieLovesCake · 06/03/2013 21:47

and omg crying my eyes out at one born every minute... crikey

CoffeeandCremeEggs · 06/03/2013 21:49

me too janie, having a serious wail...

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 06/03/2013 22:08

Janie and Coffee - brave girls. I can't go near it.

DIY, how about artificial insemination? My friend tried it once due to similar circumstances and conceived after months of trying naturally unsuccessfully. Less fun but needs must.

Settling in bed now for another night tossing and turning, sneezing, harrumphing, sniffing, snoring, blowing etc before waking up with that lovely cold-dry mouth thing. I know I'm milking it a bit now! Luckily I have no idea if ovulating as don't think DH would touch me with a barge pole. If ewcm shows tomorrow maybe Ill be getting an artificial insemination kit myself!

Night folks. Here's to a better day tomorrow. BFPs, AFs, obvulations, healthiness: whatever you're after at the mo. xx

fod27 · 06/03/2013 22:13

I love watching one born.....think it creates a silver lining especially watching that poor woman who had lost her brother after he had lost a baby....

Question: Did you all urinate frequently after mc? I keep running the loo and peeing like a racehorse! No pain or anything tho

CoffeeandCremeEggs · 06/03/2013 22:40

And now I am watching Call the Midwife, for some reason. It's like I WANT to spend the evening sobbing.

Hello! I've been a bit absent again. I'm carrying on with another cycle, O around this weekend I think. Thrilled to see some bfps! Let's hope it's the start of many.

For whoever was asking about Vit B6 (sorry, on the app) I've been taking it to try and lengthen my LP which seems to be working - slowly, and they're revolting (and - tmi - you pee NEON), but I am getting cycles above 25 days now which is nice.

GardenWorm · 07/03/2013 06:03

fod nothing different around urination that I can remember....

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 07:53

So. After feeling very smug that I didn't poas this morning, and congratulating myself that I have waited until tomorrow, my spa day has been cancelled! And there is no longer any need to poas tomorrow, so technically I should wait until Sunday.
Yet another one failing the Friday system!!! Useless.

Fod (my autocorrect is desperate to call you god btw) no I don't think I remember any more peeing. Maybe just a reaction as you are probably feeling a bit tender in there?

Thunderbuns · 07/03/2013 07:59

pink sorry your spa day's cancelled- what a shame. Well done with the not poas today tho- impressive! How early is tomorrow for you again?

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 08:10

Tomorrow is 2 days before af due, but only 11dpo. My af used to arrive on day 13. So still quite early really.

Thunderbuns · 07/03/2013 08:12

So are you going to wait til Sunday?

alyant79 · 07/03/2013 08:44

can't go near obem or call the midwife. tears ahoy.
I like them though, so perhaps in another week or so...

So this morning I woke up feeling all nauseous... it's waay to early for symptoms yet (af not due til tuesday), so someone slap me please.

pink that sucks about your spa day.

DIYandEatCake · 07/03/2013 08:59

Af is here so I'm out this month Sad.

fod27 · 07/03/2013 09:18

Pink im quite happy to be called god hahaaa! That's pants about your spa day.....can you rebook?

I googled the urination thing and apparently it's down to the HCG levels left over in my system along with the swollen breasts, seems like my headaches are also hormone driven....gotta love being a woman! I'm coming back as a man next time

AF pfffff posifrickintivity girls!!!

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 10:03

Yeah we will go spa-ing another time. No matter.

Just need to see how long I can hold out poas now. I think I might try and wait til sunday. I am convinced af is going to arrive, possibly before then if these cramps are anything to go by. So no point having the heartache before then.

Sorry about your af DIY. Will be with you shortly.....

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 13:19

AF not arrived but BFN?

Had slight crampiness since yesterday tho, could it somehow be a pg symptom not AF?! Ha ha desperate or what Grin

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 07/03/2013 13:28

First AF Shell? I have had nasty cramps for a week before it finally arrived a couple of days ago.

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 13:43

No saggy this is my second AF post MC....I have awful AFs that are painful for days so I'm pretty sure this is just the precursor...hope springs eternal tho!

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 07/03/2013 13:56

Well if its not here yet, there is still hope....

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 16:24

This is gonna sound completely crazy but I took a test to work to do this avvy (just a 15p Internet one) and I did it and left it in my bag to check in 5 mins....got side tracked so its more like 30 mins but there is defo a very very faint line?!

I know you're not supposed to look after 10 mins so you're all gonna say do another one on the morning but could it be????! Worried tho cos I've been having mild cramps for two days Confused
