Any news Blue? x

It wont be B.F.P for me this month, yes, you've guessed it the witch (A.F) has turned up.
Oh well more fun practicing next cycle. Good luck to everyone else. xxx

BNmum · 04/07/2013 17:50

Sorry to hear that international, how long is your cycle? It feels like she's only just left for you.

internationallove985 · 04/07/2013 18:23

Hi BNmum. She the witch arrived last month on 7 June and left on 12 June and she arrived today as you know. I have worked out that my cycle this month has been around 26 days long. That's if I'm working it out right.
I don't know why but I've got a feeling I am going to concieve in December. xx

shoegal84 · 04/07/2013 19:14

Sorry the witch got you international. weird, wonder if it's a premonition! If it is, at least you can have plenty of practice! x

internationallove985 · 04/07/2013 19:27

Hi Shoegal. Thanks for your reply. How are you feeling
Yes. It's just a strong inclin I have. I know this may seem strange but I am very spiritual and I believe children have spirits before they are born so perhaps it's my future son/daughter telling me they will be concieved in December! I am just think how amazing it would be to start the new year with a B.F.P. xxx

BNmum · 04/07/2013 20:07

Ah! Just got the diary out and I'll be cd50 tomorrow! So that's probably why i thought you had a really short cycle international. Anything is short compared to 50 days!!!

Wow! That would be amazing if you did conceive in December and like you say it would be a great start to the new year.

Any news blue?

How's things with you shoegal?

blueamber · 04/07/2013 20:56

Hi everyone, I tested the day after I should have had my Af and it was a bfn. Now I'm not sure what's happening! I had all the signs of ov, but am worried that maybe nothing happened after all?

Oh well, I'm going to wait until Sunday for either AF or to test again. Hopefully I'll find out what's going on with my cycle then! BNmum, I'm on (wait a sec I'm furiously calculating) cd65, but that was after stopping the pill.

I went to yoga this evening. It had been ages since I last did yoga and a new studio just opened in the area. Had to fill in a form and one of the questions was: are you pregnant or do you think there is a possibility you might be? I just filled in no, I rather not explain the whole situation to a stranger Hmm.

BNmum · 04/07/2013 22:13

Cd65! Lets hope that's because there's a BFP just around he corner blueamber. It's not over until the witch arrives. It must be very difficult to know when she's due though when you've just come off the pill. It's probably best to test again in a few days time.

Did you have a good time a yoga? The only exercise I seem to get is running after my 2yo and dtd!

blueamber · 04/07/2013 22:32

Thanks, bnmum, I'll patiently wait.

Yoga was really good, but everything hurts now! It's the first proper exercise (apart from walking and cycling) I have done for years. I was ill for a while and too tired for any exertion, then went back to one class and got bronchitis, which put me off again! But I really enjoyed this class. Should be really bendy in no time Grin

shoegal84 · 05/07/2013 07:49

doesn't sound strange atall international, I'm quite spiritual too and agree it would be an amazing start to the year.

I'm getting on ok, currently on cd9of my second cycle so should ovulate in 6 days time. I've got ov sticks this time which I can use from Sunday so I'll give them a go as I don't seem to really get any visible symptoms of ovulating. dtd on weds night and will probably have a weekend of more practising!

seem to keep seeing pregnant women and babies everywhere and never thought I'd feel this broody!

One question I have (hopefully it's not tmi). How long do people wait after dtd to go to the loo? I used to go straight after but googled it and it recommended waiting 20 mins, so been doing that. But think that's why I got a urine infection. Any other advice would be useful!

itsnotrocketscience · 05/07/2013 14:27

Hi all, sorry to see no more BFPs since tiny. Yesterday felt bit down and had period pains, like a fool googled 'period like pains on day 22 of cycle' and convinced myself it was implantation pains. Planning to test on wednesday if no af before then.

Good luck everyone and hope you're enjoying the sunshine

BNmum · 07/07/2013 08:40

I hope you haven't picked anything up from this class blueamber, I think I should look into doing something with myself too.

Have you still got the pains itsnotrocket? I was also planning to test on Wednesday, although we'll be away for a few days so may be better for me to wait until we are back home.

I don't usually wait that long shoegal, a quick cuddle then a trip to the loo. Usually 5-10mins, if that. No pregnancy as yet (maybe need to leave it longer) but no water infection either.

Tea1Sugar · 07/07/2013 08:55

Hi all. I'm the op of this thread previously Coffee! Had sometime away but great to return to circa 1000 posts! Grin It's my first month off the pill. I actually came off it a few months ago (when started the thread!) but went back on due to logistical circumstances. During that time though Af quickly returned after 25 days so here's hoping she'll sort herself out quickly again! Last pill withdrawal bleed was 24th June and had a fixed smiley opk on cd12 so at least I know I'm ovulating again! I think I'm now 1dpo but who knows. Good luck all Grin

internationallove985 · 07/07/2013 17:58

Hi Tea1sugar.

Welcome back. I saw you on other threads and thought it may have been you, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.
I'm still trying the witch aka A.F arrived Thursday and I'm still flooded, and
I have a new name as well. I was formerly c99. xx

BNmum · 07/07/2013 20:00

Welcome back tea and great to hear that you've had a fixed smiley already. Good luck this cycle! Are you just taking it easy to start with or following SMEP or similar?

Tea1Sugar · 07/07/2013 20:07

Hi both! Grin no real "plan" at the moment to be honest. We dtd 5 times including day before/day of fixed smiley. But I'm clueless! How you getting on?

blueamber · 07/07/2013 20:09

welcome back, tea, good luck for this 2ww!

BNmum · 08/07/2013 07:09

That sounds nice and relaxed tea, I had hoped to be the same but a 53 day cycle is turning me into a fruit loop!

Tea1Sugar · 08/07/2013 17:13

53?! Shock is that since mirena/pill stop? Eek! Have you been using opk?

BNmum · 08/07/2013 19:21

No it haven't been on the pill in over 3 years now, it's just my crazy irregular cycle Confused

CristaBell · 08/07/2013 21:58

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Sorry I haven't been around a lot lately, I'm trying not to go to crazy with symptom spotting this month so thought I would stay away from mn for a while.

I'm currently 7dpo af us due on Friday.

sorry your having a frustrating long cycle this month bnmum x

shoegal84 · 09/07/2013 07:14

fingers crossed af stays away cristabell. That must be really frustrating bnmum, hope your cycle sorts itself out.

Goldenhandshake · 11/07/2013 14:28

Hello everyone! I am back from sunny Egypt, had a lovely relaxing time and luckily were miles away from all the trouble in Cairo. We arrived back early hours of yesterday. How has everyone been?

I apparently should have ovulated on 9th july, so we dtd lots in the days running up to and a day past ovulation. So if I am thinking correctly, I should be in my very first 2ww yes?!

Looks like this thread has been very quiet, where are you all hiding? Smile

blueamber · 11/07/2013 16:49

Hi golden, glad you had a lovely holiday. They do say a vacation is good when ttc :). And you're coming back to nice weather as well, always helps with holding on to that holiday feel!

It has been quiet in here,I think lots are on the July bus. I have not been so active on there either as I don't know what my body is doing. Haven't had an AF since stopping the pill in April so I'm going to see the doc on Monday. I had sworn I ov'd almost a month ago, but nothing happened since, just got bfns.

Bnmum, how is your cycle going?

Crista, hope AF stays away!

Shoegal, how did you get on with the opks?

Going to have to go now or I'll be late for yoga!
