Morning! Am 16dpo, cd31 & I'm pretty sure I ovulated - lots of ewcm & a positive opk. Had one test left - a clear blue digi which I did this morning & it was 'not pregnant'.
Am I wrong to still hope I might be PG? It would definitely show by now wouldn't it?
I'm sure you've all been there, but I had to hide myself away from OH this morning for a little sob - feeling pretty sad & now I have to work all weekend on top of the 60 hour week I've ALREADY done. How am I ever going to get pregnant?

Love to all & sending you all my hopefulness for the FEb bus xxxxx

Big hugs jessica
when is af actually due? Probably worth waiting till that day as your more likely to get an accurate result that day

its frustrating isnt it!

Writerwannabe83 · 08/02/2014 08:29

jessica - I can't be 100% sure as I wasn't tracking my ovulation but I reckon about 14/15dpo.

skybluegirl33 · 08/02/2014 08:46

AF got me this morning on cue so off the bus (again!). Off to join the March bus.

Congrats to all the BFPs so far and best of luck to those still on the bus

EnglishGirlAbroad · 08/02/2014 08:51

Congrats Loopy! Lovely news!

MrBsMrsB · 08/02/2014 08:54

and never ever ever feel like its your fault or you've let you OH and family down. its not your fault and your sticky bean/ beautiful and healthy baby is on its way. just take each day as it comes. x

angelicjen · 08/02/2014 08:55

Wow this thread moves fast! So nice to see some more bfps -massive congrats. Also hugs to those who need it.

I've woken up to 4 fb baby announcements in a row then the arrival of af. Gonna hide under the duvet for a bit Hmm

Treaclepie19 · 08/02/2014 09:28

Probably 11dpo today and bfn. Its getting close now :(

angelicjen and skyblue sorry AF has arrived :(

PosyFossilsShoes · 08/02/2014 11:26

Thanks barmybunting and sazzle.

I was fine right up until the woman said to me "If you had children, you'd understand" and I wanted to throttle her. Or shout at her along the lines of "if I had children I wouldn't bloody well abuse them" or something. But I didn't, I held it together until we were all finished and then went and cried in the loos. She didn't mean to be hurtful obviously, it was just bad timing.

Yesterday was crap but today is looking a lot better, resigned to being on the March bus. Is anybody else doing IUI? It just seems astonishing that a clinic can take Cream of Sperm, direct it straight into your uterus at the very moment that you ovulate, and I still can't seem to catch one!

missmrsmummy · 08/02/2014 11:47

Oh no angelicjen - 4 baby announcements is just too much to handle! I've got one pg friend at the mo and that's hard enough! Coupled with AF, I can imagine you feel poop Thanks

Owlie84 · 08/02/2014 12:11

Oh angelic I know what you mean! So frustrating! I just want to cry!
Glad to hear you're having a better day today posy

Well, housework awaits! Such an exciting weekend for me! Hmm although I do have two episodes of Call The Midwife to watch which I'll probably cry through...

PosyFossilsShoes · 08/02/2014 12:21

Missed your post angelicjen - 4 announcements is just rotten, I know how you feel.... it's like extreme disappointment coupled with feeling like a bad person for not being exclusively 100% delighted by your own friends' happiness... or that's how I feel anyway. Just had 2 friends have babies so facebook is heaving with cute baby photos and although I'm really happy for them I can't help feeling disappointed every time I see one.

Housework for me too, if I'd started it instead of coming on mn I'd have been done by now. [hmmm]

RhiBee29 · 08/02/2014 13:12

Just been looking for some ic opk's on eBay and some of them come with FSH sticks too, what are these? Anyone used them?

missmrsmummy · 08/02/2014 14:45

Rhi I googled and it showed results for fish sticks! Lol.

It says they are Follicle Stimulating Hormone tests, more info here:

www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/fshfemite.html

RhiBee29 · 08/02/2014 15:34

Love it defo referring to them as fish sticks from now on. Can't really see any diff from opk and netdoctor says fsh can only be detected through a blood test so I think it may be an eBay scam...damn those prayin on vulnerable nutters women willing to poas whatever it detects!

Loopylu84 · 08/02/2014 16:48

Thank you for the lovely congrats messages and really sorry to hear about af/bfns for some of you ladies :( hope next month brings more bfps

I've moved across to the October thread in the antenatal section so really hope to see lots of you there over the coming days/weeks :)

Coffeechocolate · 08/02/2014 17:15

Well five minutes after peeing on expensive digi and getting 'not pregnant' (horrible) AF showed up - nice. So I'm out.
Wishing every one good luck with your BFPs, I'm off to the March bus too.
Congrats to all the BFPs!

Pinkfairy88 · 08/02/2014 17:36

Been having some mild stomach pains for about 4 days now and to start with thought it might be ovulation but would that go on for this long? It's almost like a really dull ache but also feels really tight and strange at times? Hard to describe. I've never had ovulation pain before but then I've never looked out for it until ttc! I've been putting the pain down to stress but I'm a little worried. Anyone else have ovulation pain for this long or know what this might be?

onelifeonechance · 08/02/2014 18:29

Hi all,

No phone call made I'm afraid, was too gutted by gp results received yst. We've been told my dh's sperm test has shown an issue. Count and motility all fine which is good, but the morphology (shape of sperm) not good. It has a fancy horrid sounding name 'teratozoospermia'. GP not overly helpful as couldn't tell us much more but we've been referred to a fertility clinic so got to wait and see.
Feel gutted tbh, suppose it explains why we're on cycle 9 but I'm so not ready to even think about ICSI and ivf etc. Completely fed up and feeling very hard done to at the mo. Know I just need to buck up and get on with it and others have it harder, but just feel like want to scream at the world Sad

Writerwannabe83 · 08/02/2014 18:32

Oh onelife Sad - sorry to hear about your results. How long have you got to wait for your appointment at the clinic and how has your husband taken the news?? I really hope it is a problem that can be addressed x x Thanks

EnglishGirlAbroad · 08/02/2014 18:38

Onelife, I'm sorry. That's rotten news. Hopefully the clinic will be able to offer some help. Good luck, hope the appointment comes trough quickly for. Look after each other

onelifeonechance · 08/02/2014 18:39

Thanks writer. No idea about waiting time as didn't think to ask as was too shocked by it all. Others have suggested its months as opposed to weeks so we're not expecting anything soon. But judging by the lack of sleep I got last night I hope it's not too long to wait or I'm going to struggle. DH is sad but very much has the attitude that we've just got to wait and see what the fertility experts say and keep trying in the meantime. Know that's right and me sobbing isn't going to help matters, but it all just feels so unfair.

onelifeonechance · 08/02/2014 18:39

Thanks English, we will Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 08/02/2014 18:46

Well at least you have a reason now as to why it a BFP happened for you yet and the wheels have been set in motion. At least with a diagnosis comes the chance to have treatment and action plans can be put in place - you are heading in the right direction now as opposed to wandering aimlessly and simply wondering 'why aren't I getting pregnant?'.

I hope your DH is ok - it must be very hard for men when the issue is with them. I think in society we generally tend to assume the problem lies with the woman so when it actually turns out to be the opposite I imagine it takes a while to sink in.

Is there any chance you could go Private to be seen quicker??

onelifeonechance · 08/02/2014 18:55

Know you're right, least we know more what we're dealing with now. But just feel in limbo as we've been told minimal info by GP and getting everything from google which is never good. Just feel we've been left until the appointment, and no idea when that will be! Not sure how I feel about going private, think may wait and see and if it's looking like it's taking forever then may reconsider.

I know, I would far rather the issue was with me. It's not easy, but luckily DH is excellent at talking about things, would hate it if he was a 'bottler up' as I honestly wouldn't know what to say. He's been the one comforting me, feel rotten about that, but just finding it v hard. Know I'll pick myself up soon, but thanks for the kindness ladies, it really helps Thanks
