I would merk. I'd buy two!

Bunnygirlie · 19/03/2013 19:43

Buy them but wait a day or two before pimping!

MotherOfCleo · 19/03/2013 19:44

yep merk buy buy buy! Grin I honestly think you'll be fine, try I know its hard to be patient.

bunny I have everything crossed for you ladies and hope to see you on the grads soon! Smile

Alexandra6 · 19/03/2013 19:57

Some of my tests are still not showing a line but clear blue digi is so if I were you I'd buy and test (then again I have no willpower!)

Thanks for all your support guys, it's so appreciated you are a wonderful bunch!

Froggie I had an abnormal smear a year or so ago and was reassured by the nurse that her daughter had had a colposcopy where they took away quite a bit of her cervical cells yet went on to conceive without a problem. I hope for your sakes that the colposcopy link is a coincidence.

Sidney my DP is definitely in your boat. He's not ready at all to think about interventions as he has this mystical magical idea about babies being conceived in nothing but the consuming passion of it all. Hmm, we have some work to do here I fear. Don't want to burst his bubble but...! Congrats to Mr B on his results. Quite a boast!! That's one area not to worry about anyway :)

Merk I'm with thunder buy buy buy!! Then come tell us all the results; still everything crossed for you!

ILoveMyCats · 19/03/2013 20:04

yes, merk, get a couple, but maybe wait a day or two to dip.

tally your chart looks normal, round and after AF your temps are expected to be higher an erratic. They will level off towards O, and yes the pattern will become clear post O once you get some crosshairs. The more you are strict about the time you take your temp the more accurate the chart will be

Knock knock (peers round the door nervously) I have cake, chocolate and dressed in my comfy onesi, room for a little one ????

I have to admit to a bit if lurking and would love to join this lovely group.

Urm so about me!!!

YorkshirePud 34, TTC1, cycle 5

had a dermoid cyst removed (along with most of one overy) so a little delay at starting TTC but slowly getting my head around all the technical terms!

Welcome in Yorkshire, and reference to Northerners or Yorkshire pud means you automatically qualify for entry in my eyes!!

Hello yorkshire. .

Thundercatsarego · 19/03/2013 20:23

Oh bollocks arse merk. Are you ok?

Hi yorks

I'm doing a barking and trying to think of a scenario where I could still be pregnant....
Is the consensus that this was a chemical (in which case the silver lining is that I have proof fertilisation can happen and I wasn't born without any tubes or anything) or just crappy false positives (surely too many for that??) Did all my crying last night so am in the stoical stage of planning shag week and everything I can do to make sure this month is the one

Yorkshire are you simply hopefully shagging or monitoring your cycles yet?

OP posts:
happylass · 19/03/2013 20:25

Oh Merk I'm absolutely gutted for you. Not getting a BFP in the first place is bad enough but to get one then have it cruelly snatched away must be devastating. Hope you're having more than the one beer.
Here's a mystery for you to ponder : why the hell has my temp gone up by 0.5 on cd2? My charts have always been textbook but since I started using FF last cycle they've gone mental!!
Welcome Yorkshire anyone with cake and chocolate instantly qualifies even if they are an instadiffer

Bunnygirlie · 19/03/2013 20:25

Welcome to the gang yorkie or would you prefer pud

Tell us a bit about you, if you have been lurking you prob know all about us!

Thundercatsarego · 19/03/2013 20:25

That was for the Yorkshire pudding btw, not the cake and chocolate. Realise I look weird now, like I have gravy on my cake instead of custard

CatsCantFlyFast · 19/03/2013 20:35

happy are you saying that previously your temps stayed flattish at this point in your cycle but now are jumping around? Erratic temps during and just after AF are normal so I wouldn't worry but its interesting if you've never had this before...

Bunnygirlie · 19/03/2013 20:37

Lol thunder I knew what you meant!

Reading the daily fail site and it's really rather depressing, the whole world is fertile as &@*^...... Gisele with small baby, the duchess pg, Lara stone pg, Kim whatsherface pg, mrs Rooney pg, blah blah blah Sad

Frogcatcher · 19/03/2013 20:37

Hello yorks/yorkie/pud

Poor poor you merk. I'm so sorry to hear that - you must be gutted.

No news here apart from there is still an absence of O so shag weekfest continues. CD14 & the OPK says No. It's like the opposite to the man from Del Monte.

Oh & thunder I knew what you meant!

ILoveMyCats · 19/03/2013 20:41

the man from del monte! blast from the past!
