Haha, autocorrect does provide a good giggle sometimes!
Wow thanks lil, the things you can find on google are amazing! Came up with whenmybaby.com and it has added another .20 onto my result, so a bit better. To be honest most times I have taken my temps this month have been a different time, so my graph probably isn't all that accurate!
I am just watching the Waltons at 30, has anyone else watched it? it's amazing, their parents went through 12 rounds of IVF over 5 years before having one more crack at it, then 6 babies!!

victoria good luck to your DH for tomorrow, is he feeling any more relaxed about it yet?

Does anyone else have any tests/appointments lined up for this week?

It's about time we had another BFP on this thread Hmm

xBlueberry88x · 27/04/2014 20:50

Weve had a brief trying to avoid answering any questions talk

He said he knew I wanted kids from the beginning and wouldnt risk not having kids and making me unhappy.

All he wants is to make me happy.

He always expected to be alone so never planned to have children.

We seem to be okay and he still wants to try so I guess were ok although he with held sex grrr

He also said if I got pg we wouldn't have sex pffttt yeah right

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 12:16

Blue that's nice that he wants to make you happy and I'm sure there is a part of him that wants children or he wouldn't be trying at all. Why would he not want to have sex if you got pregnant?? Sounds like you have a lot to deal with I hope you are ok.

xBlueberry88x · 28/04/2014 12:40

Afternoon ladies

So I had a week of sex planned as its my fertile week.

However I have just been to the toilet and for some reason ive been bleeding (which I hadnt realised) pretty red in colour.

Ive had cramps this morning but I figured this was down to ovulation.

Now i dont know whats going on grrrr.

Sorry for self indulgent post.

Mama Hes always been like this hes not the easiest person to get any answers out of. Hes a good guy and I couldnt be with out him. He said sex while pregnant is creepy lol

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 12:44

Sounds like he really loves you blue x

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 12:47

Blue haha! Creepy sex! Love it. Yes I'm sure you love him and are very supportive to him.

Vic what's happening with you??? Is af stil awol????

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 12:47

Oh blue, just read your post, it wasn't there a sec ago.

How bizarre that you are bleeding now, is there much like af? How bad are the cramps? Did you ever get to chat to a doc about whether your tests were ok?

Ive got the opposite, a distinct lack of bleeding. But a lot of cramps and I feel sick :-( why are our bodies so frustratingly weird!?

xBlueberry88x · 28/04/2014 12:51

Mama Hes just weird but yes I do love him haha

Vicky Cramps arent to bad not the same as AF though and theyve pretty much disappeared. Not a huge amount of blood but enough that im wearing a pad now it more than spotting. Im cd 12 so no idea whats going on I hope it buggers off i dont want to ruin my fertile week.

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 13:29

Mama - I just had the few hours of bleeding on Saturday (day 29) and that's that. I don't know where that leaves me. Am I day 31 or day 3 today?! Got loads of backache and cramps today. Just don't want to 'waste' a test only for proper af to show up a few hours later like last time I was 'late' a few months back!

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 14:23

Vic did you have a bleed then af was late before or just late all together??? I would test, you must have some will power not to!!!!!

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 14:35

I was expecting af around Thursday coz I ovd early. My app said due Saturday (but it doesn't know when I ov, it makes it up based on average cycles). I've had loads of "symptoms" since 6dpo! Saturday came and I felt great, no symptoms at all of anything, no pains, no nausea, nothing. Then I felt wet below and I had blood. Assumed af started. One tampon later and its over! Sunday arrived and I felt crap and crampy again! Today I have loads of backache and cramps and had a sicky dizzy spell around 11am. Feel better now, just tired with backache. Really odd month.

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 14:52

That is odd. You going to test again?

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 15:07

Maybe with fmu tomorrow?

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 15:11

I'd say that's the sensible thing to do. At least you will know one way or the other.

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 15:55

Although I'm sure something just dribbled out (tmi!) Might have to run to the loo in a minute!

xBlueberry88x · 28/04/2014 16:05

a bib might be helpful in your situation Vicky LOL

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/04/2014 16:33

Afternoon all. Sounds a bit odd vic i hope AF stays away properly and this is your month. Hope your DH got on ok with his sample too!

Hope your bleeding sorts itself out too blue its a peculiar time to get it isn't it?

I have a week to go til my af BFP is due. I am not hopeful. Yet again I just don't feel we dtd enough. I am crap at communicating with DH so plan to have a proper talk with him. Expecting him to miraculously know that we need to dtd lots over a certain few days, then being disappointed and upset when we don't.....

victoria401 · 28/04/2014 17:44

Urgh, now I have some spotting....

Good luck with your bfp. I need more words with dh too.

They said 10 days for the SA result, Woohoo!

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 17:56

Sorry about the spotting Victoria...so shit!!!! bodies play cruel tricks. 10days for SA results is great news.

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 17:57

Notta I have the opposite issue, we are at it like rabbits and still no bfp!!! Quite concerning really! As there should be millions hanging out waiting for the egg.....but none have quite made it yet :(

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/04/2014 18:19

Thats rubbish mama I am convincing myself that the lack of bfp is down to lack of dtd. Although, apparently 'it only takes once' Hmm

Sorry you have spotting again victoria Its horrid how our bodies play these tricks on us.

Having said I am not hopeful, i am now symptom spotting...... My tummy feels a bit odd today. A bit bloated but also, a strange feeling to the right and front. If i place my hand to the right of my tummy button, there. And wierd burps. I have never had indigestion but this is how i imagine the burps would be.

8dpo...... Waaah!

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 18:23

Good luck Notta!!! Hoping it's a symptom!

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/04/2014 18:32

Thank you! I will not test early. I will not test early......if i sound like I'm going to test early please give me a swift slap and tell me to step away from the sticks!

Mam31 · 28/04/2014 18:34

SLAP!!! Step away from the sticks Notta!!! You already sound like you might test! Haha!

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/04/2014 18:40

Lol!! Thanks. I'm usually pretty good at not testing and just waiting for AF to show. But i feel a bit of a crazy minded few days coming on.

I don't think i have any tests in which will help....
