Oh sazzle I'm so sorry, although I'm wishing my af would arrive or something.

Choccywoccydodah · 29/10/2013 08:41

Sazzle I'm so sorry. That's lovely of your dh wanting to get checked too.
Hopefully the docs will be able to sort you out.

Mrsv, I was on dianette for years. I was put on it at 14 due to acne probs and also my periods were very irregular. When I was 18 I went to see the nurse for my normal bp check and she hit the roof is been on it so long. She was a proper family planning nurse which most nurses in go offices aren't, and also a friend of my mum (awkward! Retired midwife) and she said dianette if taken too long (talking 10 years here so don't panic!) can cause kidney problems. It's only a pill meant to sort you out over the short term. I've never taken it since.
Just something to think about when you get your bfp Wink and if you go back on bc after.

Congrats jbiscuit, what a great bday pressie,

Well AF well and truly got me this morning, so I'm in a crap mood not helped by OH not understanding why I hate my body so much right now (being a real trickster is terms of new AF symptoms-to which I can add 2 weeks of cramping, hot flushes, oh yeah and my favorite-being 2 days late business!)

Sazzle, really sorry AF got you to, she really does need to be kicked into outer space, hoping it's lucky number 12 for you for november.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 29/10/2013 09:09

Ah fuck. Another bfn this morning. I'm on cd29 with no sign at all of af. So annoyed. I'd been so chilled this cycle and it's ended the same way as the other 15 before it. Damn blast bllocks.

Missvaughan85 · 29/10/2013 11:16

Thank choccy, I was put on it for to much testosterone, I'm think I'm highly unlikely to get bfp this month, af still late, I'm still suffering with af like back ache, it's been nearly a week and a half now, I've got a feeling it's something more than just irregular periods after bc.

mama31 · 29/10/2013 11:43

Sorry af has got you ladies :( come to November bus when you are ready and I promise to make it a fun bus with lots of support and encouragement!!!! :)

M33R.....i am pinning my hopes on you being number 30 BFP on October bus/NO1 on November bus!!!!!!! How are you doing??? How many dpo? When is bfp due????

Writerwannabe83 · 29/10/2013 13:52

Hello ladies, haven't been around for a few days but it was nice to come back and see another BFP Smile

And to all those who are still waiting or are left in Limbo Land, good luck over the upcoming days x x

Newbie784 · 29/10/2013 17:09

Well I believe AF has officially got me today! Flow has increased (although only had 1 tiny spot on a pad all day-sorry tmi) an have the AF cramps. Expect to be hit good and proper tomorrow by the witch!

I'm so gutted! If I had my Bfp this month I would have hit 12 weeks just before Christmas so it would have been lovely to tell people then!

Also now my SIL is pregnant it makes it harder. DH says not to worry we'll get there and it's still early days-just wish I could relax about it!

I did OPKs this month and am considering temp next, is it worth doing on top of opk's?

Not quite ready to join Novembers bus yet:(

Newbie784 · 29/10/2013 17:15

Meant to add good luck to those left to test-how many are left?

Choccywoccydodah · 29/10/2013 17:19

Sorry newbie :( Welcome to sit next to me on the November bus.

m33r · 29/10/2013 19:08

sazz thanks for hoping for me. Glad your DH is going. Mine went in last month or so and all fine. For him he says him being ok has 'broken the psychological barrier'. Try to plan his appts though as he can't have 'done' anything for 2-3 days before hand then gives his best swimmers away so try to not make the appt around your ov. Good luck!!!!

kenie that sucks! I hate it when it's late! Really raises hopes.

mama thank you for checking up on me. I am 12dpo (16day lp). We dtd day of ov, day after and next again morning. Nothing much before that. In terms or symptoms: early on I had EWCM but have that most minth's; was violently sick and very very very flu-y out of nowhere for about 5hours on Friday which would have been 8dpo. Came out of nowhere. Can implantation make you I'll then disappear ? Since then I have nothing. No cramp except very light; bbs fine; no spotting; no tiredness (except the usual) nothing!

As I have a 16day lp I'm due on Saturday (my app says Thursday) and was going to hold off until Sunday but have now arranged drinking with mates on sat so will test sat morning...

No symptoms but I feel calm. I don't feel pregnant per se but I feel calm...

I hope I am last on oct and first on nov but purple you're still with me!!!!! FX for us both

Missvaughan85 · 29/10/2013 19:53

M33r what app do you use?? Sounds like you've got all the bases covered and your advice about booking and app an keeping the swimmers fresh is a good tip for anyone. When is the reccommended month to go to your doctor when having trouble trying to concieve?? Is it 6+ months?? I was talking to a health visitor in work and she filled me with such hope that you can have secondary infertility. Felt like braking down and crying!!! She apologised bless her. But they won't do anything for that will they if you've had one naturally??

I'm in a bad mood today as you can tell. Feel full of the joys of spring!! Not.

How's everyone else holding up??

m33r · 29/10/2013 20:04

missv I'm Scottish and here it's twelve minths but We went at about 9 but by the time you gaff around and get dates etc it runs toward 12. DH got all clear just as we are starting (hopefully get BFP so won't have to) cycle 12 so I guess start around then. It does help to break the psychological worry. Saying that, it's not nice for the guys.

What's bringing you down today?

m33r · 29/10/2013 20:50

I have a cramp! A symptom at last ... Or AF en route...?!?

Missvaughan85 · 29/10/2013 21:09

Works shit, I've got my business partner on Maternity, I've supported her through all her ivf and maternity so far and she has just been a shit. Greedy with money, then threatening to sell half the business, I'm covering a day if her so working 50+ hrs a week and he says she won't help me out when or if I'm in maternity, pissed off and tired of it an then I get clients asking if she's ok, I've got to the point where I just don't care and that sounds horrible, which I'm not, it's probably why periods are so out of whack.

But I appreciate it'd only been four months. I'm fortunate enough to be early days. So I apologise for the rant and the feeling sorry for myself, thank you for asking though x x

Missvaughan85 · 29/10/2013 21:09

Have you both had the all clear m33r??

m33r · 29/10/2013 21:30

missv that sounds awful and you donmt sound sh*t at all. You have given and the fact she is not giving in return is outrageous! Be careful though - she might just be hormonal. If it isn't hormones, she's awfullllll! In the meantime, Think how good you are to have your business and to be keeping it going. That's amazing!

4 months still seems like a long time. I don't think I' any worse off cause I'm at 11. It's all the same for all of us until we're told we can't do it then it changes. In the meantime, it's just time. So you are entitled to be fed up!

But focus on having an amazing job which is successful. And a DH who you love and poss baby very soon!!

Yes, we've been tested and given all clear but all they do with women is 21 day test. No egg count; no tube blocks ... Nothing like that til you're at the front of the queue - 6-9mibths from referral which you get after 21 day test.

We are positive. !! You will be again soon! :-) and if not, I shall cheer you up!!!!! :-) :-)

'Man walks into a bar' ouch! '. Sorry my attempt at a joke!

Kt1991 · 29/10/2013 21:34

Evening all I've only posted on here once, but AF got me two days early today Sad Sorry to everyone else she got too. My cycles are quite long so very frustrating to wait all that time again. Fingers crossed on the November bus for everyone who the witch got. Good luck to anyone else testing in October though!

funkymonk · 29/10/2013 23:16

Which part of country do you live in m33r? I got referred by gp to fertility clinic. There was only a 33day wait for 1hospital and 31days for another. I've had cycle day 3-5 bloods (5diff things), will have 7dpo bloods, hycosy (tube and uterus check) and dh having jizz test. Did your gp tell you you'd have to wait that long?

m33r · 30/10/2013 07:17

Thanks for checking in funky. Not the gp; southern gen hosp. What hosp did you go to? Did you get all clear?

onelifeonechance · 30/10/2013 07:43

M33r, we're all watching and waiting and hoping, do it for the ex-October bus peeps!!! Shakes pom poms, give us an M...give us a 3....give us another 3....give us an R, what do ya get????? Grin

Missvaughan85 · 30/10/2013 08:21

M33r thank you so much, it means a lot to hear someone say that!!!

I think my hormones are all over the place.

Well only a couple of days left on this bus, who's left??

m33r · 30/10/2013 08:46

onelife that post has made my morning! Have a spring in my step and imaginary cheerleaders / pips following me around willing my little hypothetical egg to grab on!!! :-)

funky on your info, I'm planning on getting on phone to hosp first thing Monday ... Assuming my BFP doesn't come on Saturday .... Which it if course will!! Thanks again for letting me know!

Choccywoccydodah · 30/10/2013 09:01

We've all got our fingers crossed m32r!!
