Ginger just wanted to say I'm glad you have an answer but sorry it isn't the one you wanted and we all wanted for you. Hope the witch turns up soon for you.

Honey personally I rate the legs in the styleeee. last few months have gone for the bum in the air on the pillow approach but this month when we got out BFp and the month we conceived our angel it was a legs up the wall thing.... Stats for anyone who likes that kind of thing (I do) CBfM, pregnacare tablets and preseed. Highs on CD 14, 15, 16 peaks on 17 & 18. DTD on 14,16,17 and 18.

Good morning everyone, I have not checked in for a few days as been away this week and see we are on thread 3! Congrats to the BFPs ladies, but sorry to those wih bfns :(

Today is cd32 my average cycle is 28days, if no sign of AF today then I will test tomorrow. Random question though, can I save FMU?

MundayCakes85 · 17/01/2014 08:50

Only just read back through, sorry Ginger hope you get AF soon, the waiting is awful. Only hope you're ok today and your neck isn't too painful.
I'm on CD37 today and woke up in the night with period pains but no AF. No idea what's going on but will POAS tomorrow if she doesn't turn up today Hmm
Good luck to any POASers today Smile

MundayCakes85 · 17/01/2014 08:51

kitty you can save fmu but makes sure it's room temp when you dip! I'll be your POAS buddy tomorrow x

sazzlehopes · 17/01/2014 09:11

Ginger so sorry it wasn't the greatest of news, but at least you are clearer on one thing now. Hope af turns up pronto and saves you from further investigations x

Wineandchoccy · 17/01/2014 09:19

I've had a stabby pain on my right side during the night, I've never noticed this before but could it be ovulation pain? I'm on cd 22 and cycles have been between 36 and 41 days.

I haven't got any opks so can't test, DH is home at 2.30 and I am working from home today so going to be waiting for him Grin

PolytheneGirl · 17/01/2014 09:37

Congrats to all those with BFP.

Unfortunately the witch turned up bang on time here this morning. Feeling absolutely gutted. Made worse by the fact my bro & SIL announced their pregnancy yesterday, complete with 12wk scan pics. Happy for them obviously but I won't lie, I'm very jealous too.

Good luck to everyone still on this bus. Hope not to see you on the next one!! X

ImaginaryHat · 17/01/2014 10:08

Ginger sorry you didnt get the news you wanted, but i guess its a relief to know even if it wasn't the best news. Hope af turns up soon for you so you can get cracking again.

Polythene, sorry af got you, combined with other preg announcement it's pretty rough. Hope youre doing ok x

I found out late last night a friend of mine is expecting with his fiance. They've not been together long and she's quite very controlling, has pushed to get engaged quickly and now theyre expecting (hes lovely but a total pushover). Im ashamed to say my initial reaction (internally!) was 'oh fuck off'. Then my rational side kicked in and of course I'm happy for him, hes going to have a lovely baby, but its amazing how hearing other peoples news can change your mood immediately. I'm not a total bitch, honest!

LH1981 · 17/01/2014 10:14

Ginger sorry the results weren't what you hoped for - silver lining though, I got pregnant without a period - just skipped one for some reason but obviously still ovulated, so there's still hope.

Choccywoccydodah · 17/01/2014 10:34

Hi all. Had scan, nothing wrong inside, but been advised to have a 'month off' and have been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Still not heard about bloods. Just thought I'd let you know.
Take care all xx

sazzlehopes · 17/01/2014 10:53

Choccy - glad all is ok inside. Hope you have lovely things planned for your 'month off' as you deserve it. Good luck when you start again, and if you can bear to pop in from time to time to keep me and the other old timers up to date with how you are i'd like to know. Thinking of you, and hope you get the sticky one you deserve soon xx

ImaginaryHat · 17/01/2014 10:59

That's good to hear choccy, and good that you've been referred too as they will be more specialist than your gp. Hoping that a month off is all you need and then you get your sticky one. Take care x

DoctorDonnaNoble · 17/01/2014 11:09

Good luck Choccy!

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 17/01/2014 11:28

Hi Choccy. Glad everything inside was okay. Enjoy your month off. Hope everything works out. xxx

Kittyrose1 · 17/01/2014 11:32

Thanks Monday, so I can just leave it in a cup covered over at room temp for a few hours before testing? Pleased to have a pg test buddy :) fx hey !!

bellaboo88 · 17/01/2014 11:40

Hi all, just got back,holiday was fantastic to take my mind off stuff!!

Sorry to all with AF & non sticky :( & congrats to those with bfps!

Predicted ov tomorrow (cd15) but last month I got it on cd17 I think (due to huge glob of ewcm)

Going to what someone said about fmu, it does say on packet about getting it at room temp, does any1 do this? I'm too impatient! X

BeatrixKidding · 17/01/2014 11:54

IUI cycle 1, BFP was due 19th Jan.

Not wanting to wait, we used one of those mega-early predictor kits and it gave us a negative the day before yesterday. Which I was kind of expecting because surely to goodness they've got to be a bit vague if you're only a week from conception, right?

Sadly, wrong. Hello Auntie Flo. Bugger.

So we're back off to the clinic in Denmark again the weekend after next. Which, whilst quite exciting, is also a bloody long way to go for a little pipette of spunk...

mama31 · 17/01/2014 12:05

Hey choccy, glad your scan showed no issues and good luck for rest of results. I really really hope you can plan a timetable of lovely things for your month off ie: massages/beauty treatments/manicures, lunches with Friends, dinner dates with DH and if possible a little wkend break away somewhere would do you the world of good....a spa break is what you need my love!!!! take care of yourself and let us know how your doing! Thinking of you xx

Choccywoccydodah · 17/01/2014 12:25

Thanks ladies. We've actually got a break planned mama for next mon-fri. Going back to bluestone in wales with my gorgeous man and beautiful boy with some friends. Just what I need tbh and it couldn't have come at a better time.

You have all been great and supportive and you will never realise how much being on here has helped. I don't have masses of friends in rl that I am offload to and for you all to be here to rant, cry and/or celebrate with has been wonderful.
Big hugs to you all.

I prob won't be on for a bit, but thank you all for everything and I wish you all and your eventual babies a very happy, healthy and wonderful future.
Lots of love xxxx

Ps I will miss your madness mama xx

EnglishGirlAbroad · 17/01/2014 12:44

Good luck Choccy. I'm glad that your scan showed no issues internally.
Enjoy your break with your family, you sure need it. I hope you do get to the bottom of things and wish you all the love and luck in the world that you do get your longed for sticky one. You really are incredibly strong and positive. Lots of love x

Congrats to all the latest a bfps.
And sorry to all those af has got.

Need a bit of advise..
Been having af type pains for the past 6 days (from cd15, on day 21 now) they can get quite strong from time to time. Spoke to my nurse today and thinks it's high levels of progesterone making the pains. Has anyone ever had this? I never have. I thought it may of been cuz of the clomid treatment. Any input welcomed lol Smile

ItsChristmaass · 17/01/2014 13:13

Also good luck Choccy. Thanks
I hope you start to feel better soon and stay positive. I hope things work out for you. X

mama31 · 17/01/2014 13:19

That's just what you need choccy!!!! Take care! Xx

Ps what madness....me?! really?!! ;)

Choccywoccydodah · 17/01/2014 13:48
Smile ((Whispers)) I have just bought condoms Shock. Me and dh have been together 16.5 years and we've NEVER used them, this'll be fun Wink
MrsNelis · 17/01/2014 13:55

Choccy, I've been following your story so sorry :'o(

TTC#1 Cycle#1 BFP due 19Jan

2WW is coming to an end, AF is due on Sunday/Monday. I have not had any symptoms and did not time DTD very well (DTD twice at either extreme of the fertile window). I'm pretty sure I ovulated on 15Jan but OPK was never positive. Somehow I still have a glimmer of hope at the possibility of a BFP and not looking forward to AF spoiling my day dreams.

In February there will be no OPKs and lots of DTD, I just want to get on with it :o)!
