Hi ladies. Hope you are all ok this morning.

Sorry your feeling a little unsure after your appointment mama but at least all your results look good and you are on the waiting list although 5 months seems ridiculous. Fx you never make it to the appt as u will have your bfp before then xx

I have decided google is the worst. Symptom spotting and putting it into Google just gets your hopes up then confuses you because there r so many contradictions. Dose anybody else find this?????? Has anyone found anything useful on google?????? I was googling ewmc as I have had loads since ovulation everyday (sorry tmi) and def can't remember having this every month. Has anyone else experienced this and what was the outcome????

I thought I would be ok with the tww but I'm sick now (currently on 8dpo). I dreamt last night that I poas and got 2 bfps. That prob hasn't helped so thinking of getting some tests even though I know from past experience I prob wouldn't get a bfp until my missed period day even if I was pregnant. Just gonna try and leave off till the weekend. Looking forward to more bfps later today.

Enjoy your day xxx

Mrsmummy....pleased it went ok at work this morning and fx for that Christmas baby while your brothers here.

Mama....5 months!! That's a long wait, fx you get a sooner appointment but hopefully a bfp will come sooner and u won't need to goGrin

BearsInMotion · 03/03/2014 12:28

Hello ladies, can I join in? TTC #2, this is our first real attempt to try again! AF ended a few days ago, so hope this weekend is a chance to start for DC2! So BFP won't be until the end of the month, if it comes at all!

SnowBells · 03/03/2014 12:33

Oh.... where did the March hare bus go?

I am on CD16... and CB Fertility monitor (2nd month of use) still says "LOW".

Anyone knows what's going on?

Nordicmom · 03/03/2014 12:43

Cd 4 here and although breast are not so sore anymore my nausea is full on ( but am not being sick ) and am constantly peeing . From pretty extensive experience on early pregnancy I would think that something did happen this month but it didn't get far enough for a positive test. . I've had lingering nausea before after a chemical /misscarriage for weeks ,also period coming 3 d early really surprised me it never happens . Didn't feel like this at all the other 3 c we tried . I've been feeling pretty deprassed and wondering what the hell I'm doing to myself . Feel tempted to go for IVF sooner rather than later .I'm curious to see what would happen since it worked on the second try with our surrogate but I've never tried it on myself iykwim . It's a pain in the but though and not exactly easy process or fun let alone cheap . F needles to be honest I've had enough of them in the 5 y it took to have DD for one ( am a bit of a phobic but more used to them by now) . Aaargh I just have a bad feeling I'm prob wasting my prescious time (39 next summer) and I'll be nowhere in a year if I keep on going . To be honest after everything I've been through I wish we could do surrogacy again with the same lovely lady in the States but talk about complicated ( practically impossible ATM ) and expensive so that's not an option at all right now also don't think shed'd want to again .
Sorry to moan I can't really be at all positive ATM , atleast can rest and look after myself since kids at school and nursery today .
Congrats to all with new BFPs. I also conceived our first DS on the 3rd cycle :)! Hadn't even heard of opk back then was guessing my dates and it worked .

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 13:06

Aw Nordic I wish I had something to say that would make you feel better but I doubt there are any words to help Hmm I will be 43 in a couple of months and my gut tells me there might not be another baby for us after how long it took for the last 2 but we are going to give it a go anyway, think we will probably stop trying if nothing happens after 6 months, don't think I could take the heartache of bfn's every month for much longer than that xxx

mama31 · 03/03/2014 13:11

I know choccy! It does feel frustrating. But I'm just glad I'm on that list given that it's 5 months long!!! And hoping to have my bfp before then!

I'm going to stick with the vitex for now and wait to see what DH sperm analysis comes back with. I have to say that I did get pregnant before with short cycles and spotting...even though it was 12 years ago I do think it's always been this sort of pattern.

I will keep trying and at least I know by August ill get more help if nothing has happened by then.

I need to stay positive, I know that's the main thing and I do believe it will happen

gennibugs · 03/03/2014 13:12

mama i cant believe that wait time, but at least you are on the list now and as you say, better than waiting until then full year is up (but you'll get your BFP before then anyway).

mrsb thank you for renewing my bus ticket and look forward to seeing the new stats later. :)

nordic have a good rest and look after yourself today.

oh and 3isour I am swearing off google this month - the contradictions and possible symptoms drive me crazy - literally everything can be taken to be either a symptom or not!

lorelie · 03/03/2014 13:39

Omg. I got my bfp today! Sorry haven't been very active on here for a while but I was getting obsessed so I gave it a break. Was coming up due for bfp but was getting cramps so I thought, here we go again, another period, another month to wait etc etc, but no af came so I did an internet cheapie test this morning. I could see a very faint line but convinced myself I was just seeing things and would do another one tomorrow morning. Well I'm not known for my patience so I went and got a clearblue at lunchtime and there was no confusion then, a bfp!! I can't believe it!

MrsGingerbread · 03/03/2014 13:55

Yay. Congratulations Lorelie!!

rambini · 03/03/2014 14:05

Congratulations Lorelie thats fabulous news Smile
Is that 5/31 already?
Go March bus!

Nordicmom · 03/03/2014 14:06

Thanks Linda , Genni. Glad you got on the waiting list Mama

Nordicmom · 03/03/2014 14:07

Congrats Lorelie

gennibugs · 03/03/2014 14:18

Congratulations Lorelei

Wow what a start!

MrBsMrsB · 03/03/2014 14:24

Yep, I believe that is 5 BFPs

BFPs

  1. SaRaRaRaRa TTC#2 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
  2. Tigsy TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
  3. LittleMissSunshine33 TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
  4. PosyFossilsShoes TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 2nd March
  5. Lorelie BFP 3rd March

Lorelie is our lucky 3rd March BFP because on the stats, there was no-one due a BFP today. We are well on our way for 1 (ideally more than 1) BFP everyday in March.
(Still looking for ladies to fill the 16th, 23rd, 26h, 27th & 29th although I am pretty positive that as we are all addicted to poas early, then those dates will be filled )

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/03/2014 14:34

Hi mama, glad your appointment went well and the dr has agreed to start tests. Is 5month wait for the fertility refferal or the initial tests? Fx you get your BFP before then. Shame she wouldn't prescribe the progesterone there and then and just 'see' if it worked!!

Nordic, sorry your feeling so down. If only things could be a bit more simple for you after all you've been through for dd and ds!

Lorelei - congrats!! March is looking set to be a pretty good month!!!

There must be something about cycle 3, so many people get their BFP on 3! I got mine on cycle 3. This is is 3, post mc so fingers crossed!!

Off for reflexology now! Ciao!! Smile

Spotti · 03/03/2014 14:42

How exciting Lorelie! I'm so pleased for you. And I think I'd be doing the same as you re: waiting until tomorrow to POAS again but then giving into temptation and trying again later the same day. Really really pleased :).

It seems those fire breathing penis dragons are doing the trick! I think our amazing cheerleading skills are helping too Wink.

missmrs - how lovely would it be to get your BFP in time for your brother to meet him/her? I'm going to keep everything crossed for you this month as that news really would make my day!

aenor · 03/03/2014 14:58

3isourmagicnumber - I've been experiencing extra cm after ovulation too.

I understand that when you get knocked up, the body creates a plug of mucus at the mouth of the cervix to prevent bacteria getting in, and sometimes it leaks out.

What's not clear is how early it happens. Now might be too early.

FWIW, this site says it might be a sign.

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/symptom-chart.php?symptomid=11

I'm not experiencing any other symptoms though. No headaches, no cramps, so I'm sort of expecting a BFN (I'm due to test on the 5th).

aenor · 03/03/2014 14:59

Congrats Lorelie. It's lovely to see so many success stories on this thread.

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 15:19

Yay lorelie how wonderful!

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 15:23

Thanks Spotti I need lots of baby dust! My bro loves kids as well so it'd be extra special for him to meet my ds/dd :-D fx fx fx fx!

gennibugs · 03/03/2014 15:30

all the bfps are Cycle 3!! Strange!

This is my cycle 3 for 2014 so fingers crossed lol :)

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 15:41

Isn't it strange genni! Also, March is the 3rd month of the year so maybe we will all get lucky!

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 15:52

I know I'm only on my first month of trying but going with it being the 3rd month of the year and me trying for DC#3 does the lucky number 3 cover me? lol Smile

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 15:53
