lemon I am so sorry to read your post. really sorry.

After reading the PIAC posts, I'm reminded of an embarassing moment last cycle:

I have two cats about 2 years old (brother and sister) and sometimes they have moments where they just chase each other manically round the house. Whilst prepping to do an OPK test, I left the bathroom door cracked. Big mistake. My cats came flying in chasing each other, slammed into my cup, sending my cup of pee flying against the wall. I jumped up to grab them and ended up falling on my rear cos my pants weren't even up yet Blush

I have had 3 consecutive early mcs missmrs, they don't seem to want to stick so they are to (hopefully) help Smile

Kitty lollll sounds like a scene from a rom-com!

Lemon Flowers look after yourself, you must be feeling shitty.

bellaboo88 · 05/03/2014 17:55

Chocky, are your little cramps today only or past few days? I've had them almost daily, not sure that to make of it.

Lemon, thinking about you, please stay on the bus & let us know how you're doing x

KittyVonCatsington · 05/03/2014 17:57

Found this article (step away from Google...) that I thought you all might find interesting...

I am currently coupling my after work OPK with my second dose of cough medicine.

I lay out all my ttc paraphernalia and laugh at myself on a daily basis. And I've just bought some co-op own brand cough mixture that tastes of ass. Glad I've only got to take it for another couple of days.

SaRaRaRaRa · 05/03/2014 18:04

So sorry lemon Thanks

No only today Bella, been looking back over my last positive months and quite common for me, although I didn't track last months not trying so it may be normal regardless for me!

I can't keep up!!!!

punkypad Thank you for sharing - and so lovely to hear about your DD Thanks

Sorry to hear about all the early March AFs Sad

mama31 hopefully when the appointment comes around you'll get the results quite quickly - ours were ready about a week and a half after the, er, deposit was left.

Nordic Thanks

lorelie and allthequeens massive congrats!!

Twins also run in both of our families. DS2 was actually a twin but the twin was lost very, very early on.

lemon I'm so so sorry Sad - what a rollercoaster, take care of yourself please.

Welcome back Jones, hope you're ok as can be

kuarama hope the pain eases off soon

Retro I also get quite emotional around OV time.

I will have to have a CS at around 38 weeks - this will mean that if I fall this cycle I would likely give birth around the same time as DS3's birthday! And then Christmas and DSS's birthday shortly after...

CD12 now for us - pinkpad marks this as beginning of fertile window so here we go again! We are DC free this weekend so are thinking of going away for the weekend to destress and relax as all the docs keep telling us that's the best thing we can do to help.

I also use a hair mousse lid!! I am obsessive, and also one that if there is a stick in the house, I WILL pee on it. I currently have 50 or so OPK EC, 20 HPT EC, one clear blue and one first response in the cupboard. DH keeps begging me to wait until I'm late to do any HPT as he really doesn't want to see me get upset again but I know I won't be able to stop myself. I get everything ready now beforehand though - after last month's incident. Filled the cup and then reached for the cupboard with the sticks in...and knocked over the cup Blush

Writer how excited!

sorry about AF aenor

We got DH's sperm results back - managed to convince the surgery to give them to us but doc appointment to go over them isn't until Friday. His count is fantastic, his morphology is within limits but not great, but there is a problem. Sorry, FAR too TMI but tis hyperviscious which apparently can cause fertility issues and would explain why it's taking so long - basically even though there are so many it's a struggle for them to get out of the, er, stuff.

impatienceisavirtue · 05/03/2014 18:14

*how exciting

spinningirl10 · 05/03/2014 18:24

Lemon...so sorry to hear your news Thanks

Writer.....so nice to see you. I was wondering how you were getting on. 10 days!!!! Eeek how exciting!! Try and relax and enjoy this last couple of weeks and please update us when you have your baby boy xx

3isourmagicnumber · 05/03/2014 18:33

Kitty thanks for that link it's very interesting

I'm 10dpo and bought 2 digi tests today. OMG £14 for 2 couldn't believe it. They r so expensive. Then because I had them in the house did one at tea time and obviously got a bfn. What a waste ha. Would love to keep the second one till Sunday but there isn't much hope of that (even after reading the link)

Bella and spotty wish I could be like you 2 and hold off u must have much more will power ha.

Hope everyone is feeling ok xx

impatienceisavirtue · 05/03/2014 18:55

3 FRERs are £6 in Tesco for two in Tesco

Spotti · 05/03/2014 19:15

23 to 652 mIU/ml - that's quite a range! It's no wonder some people get quick/early results with HPTs while others have to wait potentially several weeks after a missed period to get a BFP!

impatience I might have to make a visit to Tesco!

3isourmagicnumber · 05/03/2014 19:15

R they. Thank u for that impatience. That's good to know. So much cheaper x

Ooo thanks choccy

DH has just got back from boots 2 mins ago - wish I'd known ha.

Was a TTC related trip for cough syrup as apparently this helps with the hyperviscous thing

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 19:55

Spotti gosh, where are those figures from?

I have 3 x cb (not digi) upstairs. Bought in Dec when I naively thought I'd get pg straight away! Haven't taken them out of the bag even. Too miffed that spotting always starts before I even get chance to pee on one!

Hoping I might get to use one this month. Seeing as it's a pack of three and three is our lucky number this month!

KittyVonCatsington · 05/03/2014 20:02

Definitely reccommend getting some FRERs for sensitivity (even on day AF s due!) missmrs. CB normal and digi didn't pick up on anything (probably as HCG levels weren't doubling as they are supposed to) but FRERs continued to given me a fainter line, even when I had my bleed.

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 20:03

Seen it in kitty's article now, Spotti!

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 20:05

Thanks kitty I've just seen online that mine are 25miu (too lazy to go upstairs and look!) so I should prob get some FRER!

Feel stupid even planning to get some as I've never needed them so far! Really want this cycle to be my lucky on!

Anyone else addicted to watching birth videos on YouTube? I love the hypnobirth waterbirth ones.

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 20:06

FRERs sold out on Boots online! Did everyone on here just go and buy some?! Lol
