Arrgh I just said the wrong name!!! Soooo sorry! Shall I get mn to remove it?!

Gillster · 04/09/2013 22:17

Sorry, I meant to name check funky rather than spare before (waves to spare anyway). Time for bed me thinks!

IamKuma · 04/09/2013 22:22

funky I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. I myself tried to see that faint invisible line on an OPK this morning; ended up pimping this evening and got a completely BFN Sad. Until last month I always had spotting from about day 23 but again it hasn't arrived. I had seriously convinced myself that this month would be my month, lovely relaxing holiday, DTD 7 times in the 2 weeks around shag week, lots of lying around... but no, it just doesn't seem that its meant to be.....
DH is away with work at the moment so ended up having a cheeky and quite frankly awesome chilled bottle of corona with one of my friends so at least that has taken my mind of being at a heightened level or despair....

Tally sorry to hear you are still so sick, I hope you feel better soon Thanks

RP I hope things are going OK for you. I'm probably only suggesting things that you've already done, so sorry in advance, but does your DPs GP know you are TTC; if he has bad side effects from the medication, perhaps changing which one he uses or the dose would help?

kitty hows your 2ww going, is it the longest ever?!?

BlindKitty · 04/09/2013 22:30

kuma nah but prob because my expectations aren't so high! Think I might have heard the only 15% success rate I've too many times to fe hopeful!

funky I'm a very bad berry!

funkymonk · 04/09/2013 22:32

Thanks kuma. Keeping everything crossed for you also. Glad you enjoyed your corona Grin My dh is also away with work so was debating a glass of port with some cranberry cheese.

kitty, honestly don't worry at all!! How much longer of your 2ww? We should have waited to do a list until starting the new thread!

RevoltingPeasant · 04/09/2013 22:35

Kuma, thanks. DH has been seen by a consultant andrologist who prescribed this medication so I think that's it. It is just that sometimes he gets nasty headaches after. So we only use the meds around when we are ttc, around when we think I have OV.

IamKuma · 04/09/2013 22:50

RP sounds like you are in good hands then Smile.

Must go to bed now, I am fully intending to take advantage of having a bed to myself and nobody snoring in the vicinity... so must.not.spend.whole.night.on.MN....

Goodnight! Bear

Bunnygirlie · 04/09/2013 23:07

Did somebody say list?!? Wink

Thundercatsarego · 04/09/2013 23:09

I'm still here kitty , just keeping quiet but keeping a close eye out. Hence the recent outraged outbursts.

P.s. ladies in the helicopter, let us know your new stats too, it gives us hope Smile

barkingtreefrog · 05/09/2013 07:22

Ooo, funky, I had 5 out of 6 days of what would usually be my period. Slightly pink/brown cm. Was convinced it was AF and burst out crying when DP noticed I was quiet and asked what was wrong. It was our first clomid cycle and despite staying with MiL/long travelling times/camping in a tiny tent/sleeping on mate's floors etc over shag week we still managed at least eod (and it was bloody hard work!!). When all this effort had gone unrewarded I was gutted, especially as AF was early so clomid didn't seem to have done anything for my short LP. But I never had my usual one day of bleeding enough to need a tampon so did an ic anyway and got my bfp. I don't want to get your hopes up but you're not ruled out of the helicopter just yet!! Wink

Bunny we only let non berries in the 'copter if they are berries, ie over 30 and tried ages to ttc #1 before getting a bfp and now being totally freaked out and worried. Standards are not slipping, don't you worry Wink .

barkingtreefrog · 05/09/2013 07:25

My current stats would be:
barkingtreefrog, 34, bfp on cycle 21 of ttc. As of today I'm 7+3 and still terrified it won't stick/there's nothing there.

Thundercatsarego · 05/09/2013 07:48

barkingtreefrog 34, bfp on cycle 21 of ttc. As of today I'm 7+3 and still terrified it won't stick/there's nothing there.

Thundercatsarego · 05/09/2013 08:26

merk you got bfp before me didn't you?!

CatsCantFlyFast · 05/09/2013 08:29

Good point thunder, it was cd29 and actually the 13th July.
Bunny don't be disheartened about all the help you are getting, FX it should get you winched into the chopper sooner
