Gingerpanther27 · 30/12/2013 09:51

Thought I got a squinty line but only at certain angles so going to disregard it. It was negative when I took it out the wrapper so not convinced. Going to attempt to phone midwife. Feeling very meh about it all.

Keepingmyconvertible · 30/12/2013 09:54

Gutted for you Princess....fx for the Jan bus!
Happy Birthday Spinning! Hope you have a fab day and enjoy your few drinks!
Good luck for tomorrow Bex!
Still no AF and had another BFN on a FRER this morning....still cramping so she's on her way....off to the docs to get something for this cold/fluey thing as still feeling like death. Going to mention me still not being preggers but think he'll fob me off as it's coming up to 6 months since my MMC and think he'll say I need to give it a bit more time before we can get any help. I'm 38 now so I'm getting a little worried.

LH1981 · 30/12/2013 12:29

Good luck for tomorrow Bex - eeek!!!!!!!
Still in limbo land too Ginger - day 50 today! Got the same 'squinty' imagined line yesterday too.

Sorry to bring the mood down, but can I ask some advice? I got some terrible terrible news yesterday that the sister of one of my best friends took her life on boxing day. She was only 25. We're all devastated as we've seen her grow up. I can't talk to anyone at the moment until my friend lets other people know and is ready to talk but I was thinking of getting her and her mum a bracelet with an angel charm that I've seen from a beautiful jewellery designer I know. Appropriate or a bad idea?
Just feel really useless. Have obviously sent flowers.

Gingerpanther27 · 30/12/2013 12:54

Day 37ish here. Lh. Oh jeez. Depending on the mind set of said people depends on how they'll react but I'm sure they will appreciate the gesture. Every little thing like that will help and show the caring nature of her friends. Hope it helps.

LH1981 · 30/12/2013 14:09

Thanks Ginger, I'll give it a bit more thought before I go ahead. So difficult to know the right thing to do.

Wrt to your situation, could you ask for a blood test from your gp? That's what I'm planning on next week.

Boosk · 30/12/2013 14:46

Oh LH, how awful for her family and friends. I think it's a lovely way to show your support and as a reminder that you are there for them if needed.
Take care x

Gingerpanther27 · 30/12/2013 14:49

I'm going to see if I can track the midwives down today. I live in a really small place so they know me quite well.

Keepingmyconvertible · 30/12/2013 16:00

LH that's awful news.... especially hard this time of year, the bracelets are a lovely thought tho.
It must be the time for sad/really shit news as one of my closest friends has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is currently too weak for treatment....just when I thought this year couldn't get any worse. So scared for her and feel soooo sad.

Keepingmyconvertible · 30/12/2013 16:02

PS Just got back from the docs i have a virus and sinusitus so thats why i feel crap! but the good news is that I got my referral for 21 day bloods and he said he'd refer me to a fertility specialist at the local hospital, not sure how long it'll take but at least we've started the process! Oh and DH needs to go and give a sample! He can't wait!

spinningirl10 · 30/12/2013 16:32

LH....so sorry to hear such sad news.
The bracelets sound like a lovely idea.

MrsF2510 · 30/12/2013 18:04

LH and Keeping - sorry to hear your sad news and keeping hope you feel much better soon.

Is there anybody else who is crazily symptom spotting and on their 2ww who wants to share to make me feel better about my obsessive researching and analysis of potential symptoms?!

Gingerpanther27 · 30/12/2013 19:04

Been told I'll get seen when clinics aren't as full in two weeks. Day before I start a new college course. Brilliant. Hmm they'll do bloods then providing af not turn up. That way they can repeat them 48 hours apart.

LH1981 · 30/12/2013 19:16

Two weeks Ginger??! Arghh, that's a nightmare!
Did another FR and I think bfn. I'm ignoring imaginary faint faint lines Wink

Think I might just ring docs in the morning to get an appt. At least our local hospital has a walk in blood testing clinic so gp shouldn't have a problem referring me.

Thanks for all your kind messages about my friend too xx

Hi everyone - signal crap in here, so struggling to keep up with thread - but I promise I will read back when I get home!!

I just wanted to say sorry to LH - I think the bracelets are a wonderful idea. I actually got a pandora bangle with the angel charm on from a friend when my dear grandad passed away, and it is still now my prized possession. Xxx

Thank you to everyone for the messages of congrats and luck for our wedding tomorrow, it truly means the world to me. I will post a pic on my profile tomorrow at some point if I manage to upload it with crappy signal - if not it will be Wednesday when I'm home. Either way I will post on here to say it's up there Grin

Thank you again!

Love, Bex xxx

Good luck tomorrow Bex!! Enjoy your very special day xx

keeping sorry to hear of your friend! Fingers crossed for her that she recovers xx

Xx

Keepingmyconvertible · 30/12/2013 22:21

Thanks everyone....it really is shit news.

Still no AF or BFP.....which one would happen so I know what's going on. Feel like she's on her way tho, while still desperately looking for any possible pregnancy symptoms.....boobs hurt but think its because I keep prodding them to see if they do! Proper mental!

MrsF2510 · 30/12/2013 23:47

Keeping, I know the feeling and am in the same boat - no AF or BFP. Plus I keep squeezing my boobs too - they still don't hurt but probably soon will (for the wrong reason).

justkate123 · 31/12/2013 01:53

Can I join please, cd34 af is 5days late got a bfn this morning, fingers still crossed after 3 yrs ttc!

MrsF2510 · 31/12/2013 07:50

Hi justkate! That sounds promising assuming you are very regular. Wishing you luck and baby dust!

toots123 · 31/12/2013 08:21

Bfn for me today. Here's to 2014! Assuming af is on her way now. If so, see you all in a few months. :)

Keepingmyconvertible · 31/12/2013 09:14

I'm out Sad AF woke me up and I'm feeling gutted. As of tomorrow it will be a full 12 months TTC'ing and I don't think I have ever had such an up and down year. The high was when we got our BFP and the lows were the MMC (never heard of it before they sat me down and told us) and finishing the year with one of my closest friends being so ill. I'm hoping 2014 is better for everyone and wish you all BFP's ASAP! I'm off to join the Jan bus as I should just about squeeze in at the back!x

spinningirl10 · 31/12/2013 09:29

Oh Keeping I'm sorry af has arrived and so sorry to hear about your friend. Really hoping the New Year is kind to you both and brings good news Thanks

HollyBen · 31/12/2013 11:11

Sorry are got you keeping I am still spotting when I go looking for it. Wish it would just get going. Join me in saying a welcome bye bye to the crappy year that has been 2013

Good end to the year for you though bex. Thinking of you today. Have a brilliant day x

spinningirl10 · 31/12/2013 11:33

Bex.....Thinking of you today, have a wonderful day xx
