hi guys.... feeling really crap...my af turned up nearly a week late...spent most of today in tears...i'm glad i did not test now but i'd convinced myself i was pregnant..its weird though coz i have been trying for so long, its so similar to when i had a chemical pregnancy before (really common).. you notice these things when you been tracking for as long as me!!! i'm all over the place dont know when to start using opk's perhaps ovulation will still be middle of month or like times before it came literally straight after bleeding stopped...day 4 for example..think i'm gonna start as soon as af stops..gonna be expensive month- will prob need a 20 pack of sticks... plus i could have anovulatory month as thats common if it was a CP... who knows...got more hospital appointments...next one fri 13th...good day huh!!!!... welcome to all the newbies.... i'm gonna go and lick my wounds for a while but i'll be back when and if 2ww starts all over again...... goodluck guys......... xxxxxxxxx Sad Angry Wine Wine Wine and more Wine

layla that sucks so sorry your af arrived. Big fat piece of cake or chocolate and massive glass of wine required. Mother Nature really is a bitch, at least you will get the tests and will hopefully know a little bit more about what's going on. Have a good weekend. Xx

GnomieGrace · 05/09/2013 18:29

So sorry that AF arrived for you Layla, sending huge boxes of chocolates and plenty of wine! I have had no Ov symptoms yet this cycle but am on CD13 so may just be OV'ing late this month. Hello returnees, fx for all those in the 2ww I'm not out for the count yet so I'll see you on the other side of this shagfest.

Refoca · 05/09/2013 21:10

Layla :-( sorry AF got you :-( I'm still only spotting, but 2 days isn't unusual, fully expecting AF to arrive tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for next month or the month after for bot of us.

snoozysleeper · 05/09/2013 21:34

Sorry layla Flowers

Have a Wine

Keeping fx for you all and also for next month for those who AF got

CD18 8dpo; over on the Posifrickinivity thread (for ttc after mc) we have a rule that we're only allowed to poas on Fridays. 8dpo is pretty early, but I was feeling really crampy yesterday and my boobs are feeling rather full and a little sore so I figured what the hell, may as well seeing as I'm "allowed". Smile

And... I got a verrrry faint line! Pink, not grey, and it appeared within the 10 minutes, so I don't think it's an evap. I think I just got a bfp! Grin

I'm glad I got a big pack of ICs, because i will definitely want to check again over the coming week! Grin

ELR · 06/09/2013 09:12

Ooh well done and congrats rose!

GnomieGrace · 06/09/2013 11:13

Congrats Rose!

ArkadyRose · 06/09/2013 16:53

Thanks! Though Rose is actually my surname. Wink

Refoca · 06/09/2013 19:26

Congrats Arkady :-D fingers crossed for a happy and healthy pg.

I like the idea of an only poas on a Friday rule...can I adopt it for a day while I break my own no poas until 14th Sept rule...? Hmmm...

I'm still spotting, not a lot but some is bright red (sorry, waaay tmi), not bloated like I was a week ago, boobs still larger, no other pg signs...sure it's either just a randomly longer cycle or a chemical pg, but I want to know which! ...so I'm pondering poas despite my rules to save money/mental health. I think it would be more reassuring to know if sperm and egg got together long enough to make some hcg iykwim? Oh, decisions decisions. Gotta pick quick or the hcg will be gone from my system and I'll be none the wiser even if I do. Ha.

Wwyd?

ELR · 06/09/2013 20:34

I'd Poas!!

snoozysleeper · 06/09/2013 21:00

Congratulations arkady Flowers keep us all posted

And poas refoca

GnomieGrace · 07/09/2013 17:02

I'd Poas!

Refoca · 08/09/2013 16:25

I poas this morning, definately out this month as AF in full flow and a bfn.

When I was convinced we'd caught first time, I was excited, but I'm also really excited to keep trying. We were trying as early as we were happy with but hoping to be statistically average at 3rd cycle, so now keeping fingers crossed for the rest of the cycles this year!

It's also really refreshing to have a 4 week cycle compared to 3, don't really mind whether it was chem pg or not, I feel really glad my body has calme down for a cycle and has not got any hcg lurking (assuming for a momet it was chem pg) through AF.

I guess I'll be back in a couple of weeks :-) good lucl everyone who is poas soon!

GnomieGrace · 08/09/2013 22:24

Sorry to hear you got a BFN but glad to see your optimism. Sometimes it's hard to remember it's about the journey as well as the destination! Remind me of that when I next get bummed out over a BFN x

GnomieGrace · 11/09/2013 22:44

It's all gone a little quiet on here recently, how's everyone doing? Hope it's because you're all too busy shagging to get on here!

snoozysleeper · 11/09/2013 22:49

I know gnomie I was wondering what had happened to this thread! Still going in with my 2ww ... Hope things are going well at your end

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 16:54

Just waiting now due on the 20th either a bfp or af so fingers crossed. I had no OV symptoms this month so am not that optimistic oh well! At least we got a lot of practise in! Lol Wink

wispaxmas · 12/09/2013 18:36

Ahh, this was the 2ww thread I was on last time, I thought it disappeared!

I'm back on the 2ww despite a very confusing positive-negative-positive series of opk results yesterday and today. A google search brings up the possibility of 2 LH surges meaning 2 eggs being released within 24 hours - what results in fraternal twins, pahaha, as if I needed any other inks to obsess over.

Hope the 2ww passes quickly, I am defo not testing early!

ItalianWiking84 · 12/09/2013 19:52

Hi all,
Can I join in?
I had my smile on the Clearblue normal digital ovulation sticks the 3rd and 4th and dtd the 30. of August, 1. of September, 3rd and 4th and the 8th.... Hope its been enough. I have no idea what day I ovulated, but because my BF works different shifts, we could not do it the 5th and 6th, because we only saw each other for like 10 minutes all together those days.
No symptoms tho at all
Would love to test the 16th because its BF birthday, but I am afraid its to early. BFP or AF is due the between the 17th and 19th.

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:13

Hi Viking! Welcome, grab a nice comfy chair for the wait! I'm about 3 cycles into my TTC journey but I came off the pill in May so my cycles are all over the place, heavy, light, long, short sometimes great OV symptoms sometimes non at all! I currently gave watery CM but am on CD21! So that males no sense unless I'm having a super long cycle! Oh well we'll see in 7 days!

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:14

Wisps could you imagine twins?!? Hmm

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:14

Sorry meant to go for this face Shock!! Lol

wispaxmas · 12/09/2013 21:19

Haha Blush would be the face I would go for, though Shock is good, too!

ItalianWiking84 · 13/09/2013 10:11

GnomieGrace thanks :) I came off my pill in May too, but my periods went straight back to normal 31 day cycles... Hope yours will be back to normal too soon
