Ahh nursey it does sound like AF Chin up and wait for her to piss off. Dont worry about the duplicate post it happens all the time. You can delete them from a computer but I wouldn't bother

onelifeonechance · 27/03/2014 10:02

Hi all,

Sorry been away a bit, life just been v busy.

Vicky, sorry you've not had the complete reassurance you so wanted but it sounds like they're keeping a good eye on things and it's very good news that she is perfectly formed and the consultant is on the ball with things. How many weeks are you now? Hope you're doing ok, know this is so easy to say and so much hare to do but really try to just take things one day at a time and not think too far ahead as it can all get too stressy otherwise. Try and enjoy it and I'm keeping everything crossed for you hon xx

Broody, this really is new for you isn't it, not having af for so long? I am soooo hoping for you, hope you can get dr appt v soon. Am also v intrigued by your job!!!! Grin

Wood, hello my dear, hope you're ok. Temps wise afraid I'm no help, I was hopeless at it and not sure any of mine were accurate. Do you normally get Ewcm?? I'd be more guided by that tbh if you get it.

Nursey, so sorry for af Thanks

Cd 10 here. Not managed to dtd yet! Hmm Not sure how this has happened but we're going to be on it tonight and this weekend. I've got a very good friends wedding tmrw, soooooo excited! Hoped I'd be sat there with a big bump when she sent the invites but seeming as I'm not I intend to make full use of the fizz and have a jolly good knees up!!!!!!

onelifeonechance · 27/03/2014 10:02

harder not hare

See nursey, we all mess up, don't worry!

woodwaj · 28/03/2014 22:03

Any news on getting in with the docs broody?

Hope your feeling more confident now a few days have passed since your scan vicky..anyone else in the same situation on the pregnancy boards?

I dont think we dtd until day 13 this month onelife really behind. Im not sure when I ov'd nothing major in temps or cm. The only thing different is I believe your cervix changes position during ovulation and without tmi my oh said he could tell Hmm that was yesterday. Anyone else have that?!

broodysnoopstie · 29/03/2014 08:13

Morning All happy weekend!

I tried to get an appt yesterday but they had nothing left and I couldn't say it was an emergency! I've booked one in that I will definitely be able to go to on Friday next week but receptionist said to keep phoning up when I do have time from work as there might be on the day cancellations etc. By next Friday I'll be nearly 4 weeks late for AF! and it will be 2 months since my last period! Shock

CD 53 today. .

Hope you are all good. One I pm'd Vicky with my job she could forward it to you if you like!

broodysnoopstie · 29/03/2014 09:47

ps. Wood ov would of been due 2 days ago.. did opks and all negative I can't get anything I wee on to go positive!!! no ewcm either still with the creamy thick cm. tmi!! Grin

NurseyJay · 29/03/2014 18:18

I have no idea how couples trying to conceive for a long time must feel... Myself and DH have only been trying for one month (officially) and I'm sooo frustrated already! He doesn't seem bothered though... Confused

woodwaj · 29/03/2014 18:26

Haha best to try and take it easy nursey! Im on month 18!!

broodysnoopstie · 30/03/2014 12:48

CD 54. AF 21days late. Shooting pains in my nipples... friday seems a very very long time away!! God I could do with a Wine Confused

NurseyJay · 30/03/2014 15:58

Sorry wood... just feeling emotional n ranty at minute. Working all days God sends... All work and no play :(

onelifeonechance · 31/03/2014 10:12

Broody, I really don't want to raise hopes but I really think this sounds v promising!!!!! If this has never happened before and with the creamy cm/nipple pain etc... I bet you're one of those ladies who it just doesn't pick up on hpts. Eeek, I am keeping everything crossed for you! Fri seems ages away to me so goodness knows how you're doing it!!!! Good luck hon x

Hope everyone else is ok?

Wood, yes we've had that!!!

woodwaj · 31/03/2014 11:45

Im glad you have was starting to think I was weird does it normally coincide with your ovulation?

Are you still testing broody?

Its ok nursey no offence taken it does get easier x

woodwaj · 31/03/2014 21:22

broodysnoopstie · 31/03/2014 23:36

wood that's a good Facebook pic.. people just don't think.

Also re. cervix I don't check mine through my cycle and my dp has never said anything but when I've been for smears my nurse says it's high...

vicky no need to worry about raising hopes I see the bfn myself and I still feel pg!! last tested Thursday...

Friday is soooooooo long but work is so busy it will go fast Thank god. I'm just on my way home now! Started at 9 haven't even been on mn Shock

Nursey hang in there. It seems all consuming and it is a bit but I think it gets more normal if not really easier.

Hope all is well ladies.

xx

broodysnoopstie · 01/04/2014 08:38

Morning. bfn again this morning. I've got a sore tummy and feel very sick. Not sure it's pg symptoms think I've got a bug. Sad eugh

NurseyJay · 01/04/2014 21:43

Duno whats up with me. Been reeeally thirsty this last week (but not very hungry), so drinkin n peein loads. Probs not hungry because full of water!! Was feeling fine with it until yesterday when I had an awful headache n felt generally crappy. Spoke to a doc at work who examined me, did urine sample (negative for UTI and pregnancy :( )
Bloods were taken n all came back ok apart frm calcium (bit low). So been started on calcium tablets (vile). Can't see how that links in with the thirst/peeing cycle though. The doc mentioned I may have a pituitary adenoma n am now sh*tting myself, despite it being a benign growth (that I don't know for sure I have).
Even though my app says I'm fertile this week with ov due on Sunday (DH birthday and we're away for the weekend) the last thing I want to be doing is BDing...
All my symptoms could potentially be pregnancy (apart frm negative test obviously)... but I think this is more wishful thinking... or are false negatives possible??

woodwaj · 01/04/2014 21:49

Im taking the cervix thing as the only good sign I have!!

Well we are officially in April, Which makes my next hospital appointment this month!! No idea what will happen on this one.

News on the job front about the job I didn't get, another position has come available, I have been told I don't have to re-interview but they have to advertise it so i might be in with another shot!

I bet Friday cant come soon enough for your Broody?

I hope your not ill, I am trying to pretend I am not getting a cold!

broodysnoopstie · 01/04/2014 23:23

Fingers crossed for you wood and your job i'm a great believer in everything happens for a reason!

Good luck in advance for your hosp appt. . and Yep COME ON Friday! !

nursey well I'm obviously a believer in false negatives ;) hope you feel better soon

Fleurlur · 02/04/2014 00:52

Can I join in? I'm a newbie :)

NurseyJay · 02/04/2014 10:29

Hi Fleur, of course u can join :)

broodysnoopstie · 02/04/2014 11:10

one I've just seen it was you who posted about hopes up not vicky sorry love, I can only blame long hours and stupidity

welcome fleur Smile

Fleurlur · 02/04/2014 13:06

I had my implanon took out today, the nurse told me it was to wait till your first official period before TTC, I can feel my withdrawal bleed is going to start very soon so hopefully will get official AF beginning of May and we can go from there! Will be tracking ovulation from the withdrawal bleed though.

onelifeonechance · 02/04/2014 18:02

No bother Broods, you've got a lot going on at mo. Are you still testing or just waiting for Friday now? I keep thing about you (in a non weird way!!) So hoping......

Wood, I've never noticed when it has happened in relation to ov so will watch out for it and report back!! Hope job stuff comes up trumps, you deserve it.

Nursey, hope you're feeling bit better, hope you manage to enjoy your weekend away.

Welcome fleur and good luck!

Vicks, hope you're doing ok lovely

onelifeonechance · 02/04/2014 18:05

Just noticed we're going to need a new thread v soon. No idea how to do it! What will we call it girls?

woodwaj · 02/04/2014 20:10

Nursey, Sorry I didn't see your post before mine. Havent you only just finished AF? I think at this stage you should be waiting for ovulation signs? What cycle day are you? Sounds like you work in the right place though if you have any questions! Are you taking folic acid?

Ive got ages away till my appointment but I suppose I thought that 3 months ago when I booked it in...time flies!

Ill keep you posted about the job when I know will be a while yet it is still being advertised.

Hi Fleur welcome, Hope your AF starts soon exciting times!!

I was thinking that too onelife, I think we would just have to start a new thread and update the name on this one so we can find it? what we would call it though I have NO idea! I would say were not exactly newbies anymore, but we are not experts or we would be upduffed by now!!
