Hi Newbies! Congrats OnlyMyDog & Ruby!

Sooooo sorry Choccy! Must be so hard! Glad to hear you have your family around you fingers x for valentines day!!

Still in flashing smileys stage! DTD as much as poss!!
Joining Slimming World tonight need to get my BMI down Hmm but I'm going to have so etching yummy before I go (doesn't matter if I'm heavier this week!)

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 18:34

not so etching -'something' predictive text!

KittyVonCatsington · 15/01/2014 18:51

CD23; STILL no positive OPK result. Is it really bad to sort of wish it would happen just so I can stop having 5.30am sex as I'm just so tired! Parents Evening until 8pm yesterday and I was passed out on the sofa by 8:45. DH not been around in the evenings for DTD as is working on a property after work. Oh well! Will keep DTDing every other day until evil AF rears her ugly head...

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 15/01/2014 18:56

Firstly choccy so sorry for your loss. Like other posters have said I hope the tests shed light on what is happening.

I'm out this month. A.F arrived before. xx

LH1981 · 15/01/2014 18:58

Choccy, I'm so so sorry. I was so hoping for you that it was just something minor and all would be ok. I really hope once you pick yourself up (and you seem so strong doing that), and are ready to try again that you get your sticky bean this time. You deserve it xx

Congrats to Ruby and OnlymyDog! xxx

EnglishGirlAbroad · 15/01/2014 19:00

Littlemiss... The flashing smilies can go on a bit. Don't tire yourself out. I'm doing eod til fixed smiley then gonna bang out 4 days in a row of DTD.
Besides you need to give hubby's sperm a chance to refresh. Good luck!
Kitty... I feel your pain! But high 5! You're doing well! Haha! Wink

Thanks for the new thread English. Hopping on board on the back seat as AF not due to end of jan. Congratulations to all the BFPs :-)

Choccy so sorry to hear of your news. I'll lurked for a while before joining the last few buses and I'm sorry for what you are going through :-(

I've been hiding as not sure what's going on. Ovulated last month on cd 14/15 following some pretty sharp ov pains but am currently on day 15 and nothing?! Odd twinges but nothing like last month. Don't really get ewcm so can't use that and in dp's eyes we are using the relaxed approach (or so he thinks!!) so not using opks. Does anyone else's ovulation dates vary each month??

Treaclepie19 · 15/01/2014 19:04

So sorry to hear your news choccy :(
Fingers crossed for you.

Congrats to the BFP's :)

littlemisssunshine seems we are similar, I'm trying to get my BMI down too and did you say you are a teacher also?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 19:12

Sorry to hear that lifehasafunnyway!

Thanks English how many days does the constant smiley stay for do you know? Haven't had one yet as didn't use OPKs last month.

Lovecuppy I'm the same OH thinks we are casually DTD lots (which he's happy about) and wants to take the relaxed approach ... I'm far from it! Wink

Treaclepie yes I am which keeps my mind off ttc but do worry about the job if/when I get pregnant as very demanding on my body!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/01/2014 19:14

As I'm sure you know treaclepie! Which year do you teach?

Choccywoccydodah · 15/01/2014 19:18

Mama you just made me cry. Thank you mwah x

MundayCakes85 · 15/01/2014 19:23

Congrats to the BFPs and good luck in Feb to those with AF.
Choccy I'm so sorry to hear about this, hope in RL you have lots of support, can't imagine how you must be feeling.
With regards to the blood panel requested it looks like your GP is covering all bases, think someone previously mentioned the baby aspirin for anti-phospholipids causing MC but can't remember the details. FX you get some answers soon. We're all here for you x

mama31 · 15/01/2014 19:30

Awwwh choccy wish I could give you a hug and I don't want to make you cry but had to share what I think of you coz I know it's what we all think on here x

DoctorDonnaNoble · 15/01/2014 19:31

I'm feeling quite nervous about poas tomorrow. Don't think I've ever felt this nervous. I've only got an expensive Clear blue digital so going to have to use that. Maybe AF will come overnight and mean I don't have to be nervous as I'll know. IF it is positive the EPU have said they'll give me an early scan for reassurance. I'm debating just waiting longer though. Using the maths suggested by all the literature I should have had AF on Sunday but all bets are off post MC I assume so I'm probably just getting hopeful for nothing.
This might be FAR tmi but does anyone else have permanently erect nipples! This happened while I was pregnant in November and December and it's happening at the moment.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 15/01/2014 19:33

LittleMiss Once you've had one fixed it wont show a new one. It shows the fixed when you have your LH surge, which is usually 24-36 hours prior to ov. Last month i got a fixed on 16th and ov'd on cd18 (according to FF). DTD 12,13, 15,16,17 & 18. Got a bfp at 11dpo. Sadly it didnt stick.
Hope that helps.

Marking myself on this one.

Choccy so sorry to hear that news. Can't imagine how your feeling. Thanks I think I remember you from a few months ago on these threads, I took a break for a while. Hope your feeling okay. Can't be easy. ??

Congrats to all the bfps! Really hoping this month is it for us.. 13 cycles and counting.
I have had constant period pain since Saturday, I'm now 7dpo. Has anyone else ever experience this?

mama31 · 15/01/2014 19:54

Doctordonna sounds very promising and no....ive not had permanent erect nips lol hoping it's a symptom for you and you get your bfp!!!

It'sChristmas!! Wow your name reminds me that Christmas is soooooo far away now lol good luck for your bfp also! Never had pains from 7dpo but do have a short cycle so do usually have them from about 10dpo.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 15/01/2014 20:02

I'm so scared the same thing will happen again that I think I am going to chicken out for the time being.

missmrsmummy · 15/01/2014 20:08

I'm a teacher too!

Anyone else worried that the stress of the job will prevent them from conceiving? I felt so harassed today, not deal at this crucial time of my cycle!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 15/01/2014 20:10

Totally worry about. I felt really nauseous while I was pregnant and worried about having to leave my classes to be sick. And the tiredness made parents' evening a complete nightmare. But then I'm a bundle of nerves right now!

Treaclepie19 · 15/01/2014 20:25

Definitely littlemiss
I'm in Nursery. How about you?

missmrs I worry about coping when pregnant mainly...

ItsChristmaass · 15/01/2014 20:36

Mama I know it needs to be changed really, but I like it lol. I don't have short cycles and this is the only one I've ever experienced this. It started from 3dpo and has gotten stronger. I'm a little confused. Hmm I have my day 21 bloods Friday so shall be asking the nurse her opinion.

Writerwannabe83 · 15/01/2014 20:39

choccy - I have been following your journey over the last few months and when I saw your post this morning I felt so heartbroken for you. Life can be so unfair and cruel and it always seems to happen to the people who deserve happiness the most. I'm so glad you have a supportive doctor, it can make the world of difference. I will continue to follow your posts and I'm sure there will be a happy ending for you and hopefully soon x x

Sleepingstarsmommy · 15/01/2014 21:04

English Thanks for the new thread.

Ruby so happy for you, and will be keeping my fingers and arms and legs and even my eyes crossed that everything goes right for you this time. Hope you medical team are good and help give you the support and monitoring you'll need to enjoy a happy and healthy pregnancy

missmrsmummy · 15/01/2014 21:10

Yes Treacle I worry about coping when pregnant too! Luckily the children's toilets are on my corridor and a sink outside my room so... Haha.

I'll be doing lots of 'just popping out to get some resources' and having a TA on hand. Though I won't want to tell anyone too soon, so it could be difficult trying to hide sickness!

Look at me worrying about all this when I'm not even pg yet!
