Posifrickentivity all round, with a good healthy dash of project desperate. New thread, new luck, new BFPs and Summer 2014 babies all round please! TTC after MC

[Sal1977]

Our brand spanking new thread full of luck, baby dust, BFPs and a few choice swear words.

The Rules...

(1) A lady may only POAS on a Friday.
(2) Friday means the day that everyone calls Friday in the time zone where you spent the night.
(3) Rule (1) does not apply to POA-OPK-S, UNLESS they are being illegitimately used as surrogate HCG detectors, in which case Rule (1) most definitely does apply
(4) Rule (1) does not apply following a BFP because if you want to waste £25 a day POADigiS that's your prerogative
(5) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady is POAS in an attempt to get a BFN to prove she can start DTD with intent
(6) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady wants for unknown reason to pee on an actual stick, like a twig or some such, if that lady is unexpectedly caught short whilst tramping in the forest looking for bears.
(7) These rules (including Rule (1)) are subject to the change at any time if the ladies of the Posifrickentivity thread decide on a whim come up with empirical evidence to prove that it is luckier to POAS on any other day of the week
(8) Violators of Rule (1) shall be subject to fish throwing.

And as a grand finale, why not pledge to NEVER POAS before 14DPO?

sal good luck and don't forget to tell us what the doc says. Loving the DH and the bathroom story. haha. men are useless. completely useless.

a vegan who doesn't like vegetables?? what on earth will you fed them sundance? Water? that's safe.

sorry for af moomin. totally stay in bed today if you can.

temp shot up this morning, so I guess I ov'd yesterday. There's a tiny little part of me that hopes that actually I did ov when I normally do, had a very slow rise, and that this temp spike actually indicates implantation. I'm trying very, very, very hard to ignore that possibility though.
If I did ov yesterday we probably missed the fertile window, so I guess i'm out for this month, damnit.

I forgot to say earlier: misschord i'm suffering from the same FF affliction so can't help you

Sorry af got you moomin, I found the first few days of af always the most upsetting but hang in there.

Keeping fx for you aly, I hope this is going to be your lucky thread!

The vegan coming for Xmas is my sil's new bf, and did I also mention he is allergic to eggs??? FFS - you couldn't even make it up!!
I was all set to just give him a bread roll and water but apparently there is hope...he likes tomatoes and eats tomato sandwiches. I wonder if Jamie Oliver has a good recipe for that!!

Welcome newbies, I hope that your stay is short.

Been away and just catching up with everyone.

Sorry to hear Af has arrived moomin, mine is due on Thursday but seems to be putting in an early appearance . I was sure this was going to be our month (but then I am every month).

Good luck sal let us know what happens.

Hello!

I posted on the previous incarnation of this thread not realising there's a new one.
Anyhow, I had a mmc at the end of July. Last Wednesday I got a faint positive on a FR stick (yep..I know it's not in the rules to test on a Weds, but it was the first day I had an inkling...after being hellishly grumpy all day). So the following day I tested again and it was a bit darker. I tested every day (yep, I know...I shouldn't have)...and got a 1-2 weeks on a CB digi. Well, since then, I have continued to get faint positives on FR, but tried a Superdrug stick which showed a line so faint it might not have even been there. Tried another, same thing. In a panic I bought some more FR sticks, and still yesterday it showed a faint (but definite) positive. I am saving my second CB digi until Friday.....but I have a feeling that it's going to end in AF returning, sadly.

Has anyone else experienced a run of faint positives for over a week that didn't end in a chemical or miscarriage?
I've done a lot of googling and it doesn't look good. Technically my period isn't late until tomorrow....but it does feel like it's coming.

Sorry ruggle I can't help. My experience in that regard hadn't been positive :-( hope it's a stick anomaly for you.

I have AF here. That's 10 cycles of ttc which includes 2 cp's. Think I'm all out of positivity. Got to do DH's tests now then go to GP together and I get the impression they'll refer us now as it's almost a year. Think I'm ready to embrace some drugs to get this thing started. Just Hope it helps. Feeling more and more these days that wonderful DS may be only child and I may have to learn to adjust to that.

Sorry for downbeat post!

Hi Ruggle, I don't have any useful advice but really hope your positive sticks.

Sorry to hear that Daisydoo. We've only been going through this for 6 months and it's really hard, I can't imagine another 6. I do wonder if I should try harder, as in temping / ov sticks etc. On one hand I worry that I'll get obsessed/stressed about it if I do that, but then I feel like I'm getting that way anyway!

Ah well, tomorrow's another day.

I'm sorry ruggle I've got no clue. Haven't had a cp - only af turning up over and over again (since mc in feb).

Sorry for af daisy. I hope they do refer you for piece of mind. But try to remember that trying for a year is really common trying to remember that myself

Hi,...it's been a while. Hope everyone is doing ok so far...

Had mc at the beginning of July, and it seemed to take forever to get back to anything resembling "normality". My cycles are still a tad erratic. Last ones were 21 days and 24 days. They used to be about 31-34 days long, so this has taken some getting used to. Any idea whether they are going to stay this way for long?

However, I do seem to be late. It could, of course, be nothing...and just my cycles getting back to how they used to be. I'm pretty sure I'm now on 14 dpo, though,...which is weird, since even in the short cycles, my lp is generally 12 days. I've had the weird "shit, am I pregnant?"-feeling since early last week...my ribs are hurting again and I'm slowly going off tea (I generally don't leave half a cup...ever).

I'm utterly terrified of testing and have no intention of doing so until I would at least be 6 weeks on - which is when I mc'ed last time. (At the same time, I'm expecting AF to announce herself any day...) The worst thing is, I'm possibly more worried about a positive result than a negative one.

I said the same thing to DH last night, that I was scared of getting pregnant again, but I want it soo much!

Our chromosome blood tests were normal! Thank God! And DH's swimmers morphology had gone from 1% to a whopping 4%! Haha...anyway, tests back mean that we'll now get an appointment at the recurrent miscarriage unit! Hooray!!

Hi all

ruggle I'd say a positive of any kind is a step in the right direction. Can't help you on the faintness though. My BFPs were all pretty clear and still ended in MC.

Commiserations to those with AF, although perversely I wish I could join you! Today was cd63...bored now!

sal glad your tests were ok and that you'll now get more investigations.

Well. Randomly tested this morning, as FF has me at 13dpo and I thought if they are right and I did ov, then surely it would show up if something had happened.

I got a BFP. This time standing for Bloody Faint Positive!
Only on internet cheapie though. Given that I've always had negatives from them before, I'm hoping its real.

Not sure if I should buy a FR at lunchtime?

oooooooh nerdy!!!! that's fantabulous news.
for being naughty and not even waiting for 14dpo, let alone friday.
how often did you dtd around the critical time? curious since your cycle was so long, had you sort of given up? or were you still religiously dtd at every opportunity?

got my fingers crossed for you too thatssofunny

sal i'm glad that your chromosomes came back normal, and that DHs swimmers were looking a bit more perky. How long will you have to wait for the recurrent mc appointment?

I had a dream last night that I found out I was pregnant. an omen??

Af arrived here. :(
Congrats nerdy !!! And after the no af show! I echo aly what did you do dtd wise??

I accept all fish slaps! I was trying very hard to wait but for some reason just did it this morning. We are out tonight so I think I must have had half a mind on whether I should drink or not.

Anyway. Did another IC at work, fainter line but still there and of course it is not fmu.
DTD wise I didn't do anything special I'm afraid. I had been carrying on using OPKs and made sure we DTD at least once when I got a positive on those but actually I'd been thinking to myself we probably weren't doing it enough.

But it's early days and who knows if this one will stick around, am trying not to be too excited, but don't want to worry too much either!

Oooh! nerdybird that's so exciting!!! Congrats. Am pleased for you - especially given your crazy long cycle... Yay, that gives me a glimmer of hope actually!

No fish slap from me Nerdy - Rule 4 applies! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

No f'ng clue what's up with this cycle; normally I ov around day 10-12. This time it wasn't until CD22. So technically, if this is one of my "normal" 27-day cycles, I'm due on tomorrow - but with ov this late, it should actually not be due until the 16th, which will be CD36. So if there's no AF by Friday, I probably ought to test - except I'd only be 7dpo so probably nothing would show up anyway.

Argh. WTF, body??

(Also, haven't been around much because I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year and am currently 19,000 words in and likely to hit the 50K target by the 15th at this rate....)

Hello all

I have been away on yet another holiday and then was lurking - being low on posifrickentivity.

just seeing nerdy's news ! many congrats. That is wonderful, especially after your fears of PCOS and incredibly long cycle. So many cycles post MC has it taken for your BFP? However long, I can imagine it must have felt like eternity.

hopefully we will get some more good news like this on Friday !

I am awaiting positive opk - currently on cd 14. Not commencing shagathon yet until we have a positive on opk - this is the strategy for this month !

welcome to all the newbies.

Triple - I am also trying the strategy of waiting to dtd until my first positive opk/high reading. I feel what's the point in trying earlier its not done me any good so far and I always feel like we start too early and then 'burn out'. I'm currently on cd13.

Nerdy - that's great news, congrats fingers crossed for you.

Welcome to the new people x

Aly I also had a dream last night that I was pregnant and gave birth to a girl...premonition or just pure delusion!

X

good nerdy i'm glad that you didn't do anything special. i can't muster the enthusiasm to go all out, so it's gotta work one of these days, right??

ooooh over maybe this will be our month - dreams never lie

hope your hold was good triple

I mean hols triple, not hold

Just seen nerdy's news. Congratulations! I've got my fingers crossed for you.

AF is definitely here. Feeling a bit crappy. It doesn't help that I've been interviewing all day so now I'm exhausted and a little tearful.

Congratulations Nerdy. Hope the line gets darker and the bean sticks.

Ooh dreams sound promising!! So is this another hurdle (I.e to have a dream) before getting pg irl?

Thanks aly holiday was wonderful and now back to temping. I have decided that I will not temp after this month if my chart is identical to the last two. It would suggest the pattern is fairly stable then. Are you still temping?

over I know what you mean. I think we burn out too early this way. Tomorrow is cd15 for me which us when I usually get my opk positive, but lets see. So far no sign of ewcm either. Maybe should buy some cough syrup!
