Mrsmummytobe go on and scratch the itch Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 02/09/2013 19:33

Onelife and Choccy - I'm Warwickshire too!!! Grin

Bloumermaid · 02/09/2013 19:35

panic we did SMEP over the last month and I totally agree, it's exhausting! Plus I had EWCM one week and +OPK the next, so seemed like I was grabbing DH every 5 mins!

Ladies coming off the pill - I know it's frustrating but give your bodies the chance to recover, they'll sort themselves out eventually! Think mine finally has after 5 months (although no AF still but I'm hoping that's for a good reason)

mama31 · 02/09/2013 19:37

Mummytobe! Do it!!! I'm certain this is start of my af so no point waitng for me!! Do a wee cheapie amazon one sure if its too early it didn't cost much!
Frig it! Do it tonight!!! Hahaha!!! I'm dying for some good news can you tell!! Lol

VJ I think I'm gona try the 50mg of b6 daily then plus opks! I suppose the good news is that I could still be in the running for a bfp end of this month....always a positive somewhere :) what pill were you on vj? Did your 1st af take a while to come? (Have we had this convo before?? Lol can't remember but sounds familiar)

Choccywoccydodah · 02/09/2013 19:37

Coffee, it doesn't show up bold on an ipad anyway, hence I never bother Smile

Onelife, I know where you are. AM is the place nearby yes? Wink
Yes, it would be funny if we were neighbours ha ha!

Could so do with a holiday in Malaysia or over there. We normally go that way on our jollies, but since we've had ds, we've not been that far tbh. Now we've got to pay for a seat for him, we might venture back over that way before number 2 hopefully comes Smile
Have a great time!!

VJONES1985 · 02/09/2013 19:42

mama I was on microgynon/ovranette and AF came three weeks after my last breakthrough bleed (one week after I ovulated). You?

bloumer Thanks for the reassurance. I'm glad to hear it settles down eventually but it's hard to let go sometimes!

Bloumermaid · 02/09/2013 19:43

purple! mama! Nooooo!

So sorry AF got you, I thought we were the three implantation amigos. Mama is there still the hint of a chance? I read that imp can last a few days for some...

My spotting lasted Sat and Sun and has totally gone today, so still got fx. Am 10dpo and don't really want to poas til Fri as I'd be so crushed by a bfn & not knowing if it's just too early.

keepswimming there's def still a good chance for you - wait with me til the end of the week and we can be POAS buddies!

mrsmummytobe · 02/09/2013 19:44

Thanks coffee & mama! Ok I think I'm going to do one of the cheapies in the morning then!! Eek! Really not expecting a positive but I can't help but feel a bit excited!

keepswimming1 · 02/09/2013 19:48

Thanks for the support guys, I've been off sulking :(

I am NOT going to poas early again, its to disappointing lol I really thought what with my symptoms I might just be. I'm not as hopeful now

Good luck mummytobe if you testing tomorrow

leezl · 02/09/2013 19:50

I swore I wouldn't test early this month so please remind me of that pledge in about two/three weeks time, ladies!!!

mama31 · 02/09/2013 19:55

Bloumer I've had spotting on and off today again! That's 3 days of it, no full flow as yet but it was quite often today just really think its af on her hateful way :( who knows....there might be a chance (in a million) that its implantation...but I think not :( was yours light or heavy spotting?? Colour? (Sorry I just need tmi to compare notes)

But I am totally holding out for you and mummytobe with your bfps!!!! Hope there's one in the morning that would just make my day :)

Keepswimming don't worry there's always a chance until af shows her ugly bake!

keepswimming1 · 02/09/2013 19:56

bloumermaid, bless ya :) Its so getting getting BFN. I really thought I might of been

Leezl - Don't do it - its to painful getting that bfn

gillywillywoo · 02/09/2013 20:03

Hello ladies...

I'm starting to think more so that I definitely had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

Faint lines on HPTs 9, 10 and 11 DPO last month... Then the line got lighter and then disappeared. Then AF arrived...

I'm now cd7 of a new cycle and I'm still spotting and have brown blood every time I wipe Blush

AF never lasts any longer than 4 days. 5 days was the maximum in the past.

So to still have blood when I wipe on cd7 is totally unheard of for me.

I guess it really was a chemical? Sad

mrsmummytobe · 02/09/2013 20:06

Ah thanks keepswimming. Well I'm not really expecting much & if it is a bfn then I can just retest on sat as I planned, if af hasn't got me by then.

mrsmummytobe · 02/09/2013 20:09

Sorry to hear of your experience last month gilly. I don't know too much about it but it sounds like it could have been a chemical pregnancy to me Sad

mama31 · 02/09/2013 20:12

Gilly that sounds really stressful! Hope you get a proper solid bfp soon!!

gillywillywoo · 02/09/2013 20:14

Yeah it's rubbish really but I'm trying to find the positives which is that hopefully it means I CAN and WILL get pregnant one day (hopefully soon) and hopefully also means there's no issue with DHs sperm...
I guess it just wasnt my month!

Shame though Sad

Just hope my body gets back into the swing of things straight away and doesn't throw a wobbly. I'm already feeling a bit Hmm about the fact I'm still spotting and having lots of browny blood every time I wipe on cd7. Never do I have this past cd4-5.

A few months ago I had a 49 day cycle (still trying to get back to normal after coming off the pill)... I just really hope my body doesn't decide to do something like that again!

mama31 · 02/09/2013 20:19

Awh gilly! I'm now convinced that the pill is evil! Absolute horror stories everywhere with people ttc after coming off it and taking so long to get a regular cycle!! I'm gutted I didn't come off it ages ago now to prepare my body for ttc!

My task this month is to get and use opks and to take 50mg per day B6 to try and lengthen my luteal phase! Will see what happens! Good luck gilly hope af goes soon and you can start ttc for your bfp this month! :)

PurpleGeekyGirl · 02/09/2013 20:19

Thanks blouer I'm gutted and also v pissed off with a 17 day cycle. I knew it would be a short one but honestly, to not even get a 10 day luteal phase is a bit of a kick in the teeth! Fx we get some bfps in sept and mine won't be long coming after.

ExactlyWhat · 02/09/2013 20:25

Hi all,
Wow you guys talk, think I'm just about caught up!
Keeping everything crossed for some more BFP's, hope it's going to happen very soon for all you beginning of September POASers. Not due till 24th, my cycles are around 35 days, yawn!
Rekcon DP and I will start dtd every other day now, am thinking I might ov end of next week...

Had a big night out with friends on Sat , both drank a LOT thinking it would be the last one for a while, fingers crossed anyway! Only just feeling back to normal now....and back at work after school holidays tomorrow - good luck to all fellow teachers for the new school year!

panicmechanic · 02/09/2013 20:28

Sorry to hear that Gilly and hope that it doesn't mess up your cycle too much. How about trying the SMEP? It is supposed to be v effective (but exhausting) :)

mama31 · 02/09/2013 20:30

Just ordered amazon opks!! Just to get me motivated for the month ahead!!! :)

gillywillywoo · 02/09/2013 20:32

We always do SMEP... Kinda... Not always exactly right but almost haha Wink
We'll see what happens Smile

Cupcake1985 · 02/09/2013 20:36

We are tryin SMEP and dh seems to be managing fine (in our late 20s so i keep telling him most dh would love it) but its tiring already and foreplay has become a quick kiss. We are finding the funny side of this! Opk'ing going well but im wondering if these cheap amazon ones work properly....

Choccywoccydodah · 02/09/2013 20:38

What's b6?
