Seeing as the other thread has gotten soooo long (not that I have another ulterior motive ) I thought it's time we moved on here.

* May this thread bring luck to all who post on her *

Let me start by saying that I hope the first definite big fat positive dark blue line here is Bunny !

Ermentrude Smellymelly fingers crossed for a BFP tomorrow.

Quackers · 24/03/2004 09:54

You're really early Smellymelly to have a good chance of getting a positive. technically, you only start to produce the HCG hormone when the fertilised egg implants in the uterus about 7-10 days after ov!!! So although possible to dtect this early (I have had some pos this early), you would be best hanging on a couple more days if you can hard as it is I know. Or you could get a first response as they can detect as little as 15-20 HCG level!!
Good luck to all!!!!

Morning..I am CD24 today, according to ob/gyn dpo10 if i have another 28 day cycle like the last. Have no symptoms whatsoever, but as i said before no cramping this cycle which must be a good sign if anything, I had AF type cramps for 2 weeks last cycle, then AF on day 28.
Have woken up this morning with the cold. Am not going to test. Will wait till Saturday to see if AF arrives.

smellymelly · 24/03/2004 10:26

Thanks to everyone for your advice....

I will have to get a first response test then!!!

I tried boots own as it had a few mumsnetters saying it was good, but the 1st line for me was so feint I would never be able to see a second.

I have a gynae appt tomorrow pm, re previous ectopic, (only had to wait 4.5 months!!) so I would like to know by then if poss.

I'm hoping the cramping I got was it implanting in the right place, this time.

OOh good luck tomorrow then smelly! You just never know do you. Hope you manage to try and do a first resp maybe in the am. It will pick up about 60% of positives at 10DPO, so don't be too disheartened if it's a no at first and still no AF!!

smellymelly · 24/03/2004 11:06

Thanks Quackers.... I will let you know.

bunny2 · 24/03/2004 20:04

Ermentrude

ChaCha and Smelly, good luck over the next few days.

bluestar · 24/03/2004 20:14

Well I got a positive OPK this morning, a few days earlier than expected and my temp went down this morning too. So you can guess what I'll be up to for the next few nights!
Good luck to those testing at the mo. Sure we are due some good news again soon.

Quackers · 24/03/2004 21:24

Good luck Bluestar!!! Hope this is your month!
All the best everyone!

hana · 25/03/2004 09:08

chacha and smelly - good luck in your tests, hoping for some positives !
ermentrude - our cycles must be in sync....sorry that AF started
And stop posting bluestar and get busy!!

smellymelly · 25/03/2004 09:39

Thanks for your support...... I got a BFN this morning, but I'm only on dpo 10.

I will test tomorrow morning, then Sat etc. till I get my positive - Not that I'm obsessed or anything !!

I'm still convinced that I'm pregnant, AF not due till sun, or mon, so I think I'm just testing too early - not that it will stop me testing!!!

Good luck to you chacha....

smellymelly · 25/03/2004 11:39

Yipee - I just accepted an offer on my house though!!!!!

So I can still celebrate something... cue lots of running about the house shouting
'We've sold the house, We've sold the house !'

Even DS joined in !!!!

Azure · 25/03/2004 11:55

Congratulations Smellymelly. Do you have a new place to move to?

Quackers · 25/03/2004 13:25

Congrats Smelly! Yeh it's still really early, don;t woory plenty of time yet so don;t give up!

ChaCha · 25/03/2004 19:12

Congratulations Smellymelly,
Hope to say it again this weekend!!

smellymelly · 25/03/2004 19:27

Thanks very much, no where to go yet... In a mild state of panic, but at least it has brightened up my day.

Had gynae appt. bloody waste of time really, but will keep hoping for good news over the weekend !!!!!!

Moomin · 25/03/2004 20:27

Dh's best friend and his gf are older than us (late 30s) and have been trying for TWO MONTHS. And guess what?.... She's currently 8 days late, with a metallic taste in her mouth and sore boobs but they want to wait until the weekend to test. I just want to scream at them : YOU'RE BLOODY PREGNANT!! HOW MANY MORE CLUES DO YOU WANT??!!
But apart from that, of course, I couldn't be happier for them

ChaCha · 25/03/2004 21:28

OH Moomin! It's just not fair is it?! Grrrr!
It will be your turn soon, just wait and see.
(((( hugs))))

misdee · 25/03/2004 21:35

help!! been trying hard this month to conceive, but at the begining of this weeks i came out with chicken pox. any idea if this will have a bad effect if i have fallen this month?

lieman · 25/03/2004 21:44

never give up. i tried nine years and had just paid for 1st cycle of IVF when i managed to get pregnant. Had started a zinc rich dietfor me and my husband- don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

bluestar · 26/03/2004 11:36

Well I've had 2 days of positive OPK and bding, two low temps and this morning, temp has risen to post-ov for me!! So now it's time to play the waiting game again.
Good luck smellymelly, hope you get more good news!

Quackers · 26/03/2004 12:15

Good luck Bluestar (everyone else too of course)! Glad you;re getting good results with the temping though - it does help doesn't it!!

smellymelly · 26/03/2004 15:29

Another BFN

But I'm not losing hope.... feel like shit today, and boobs feel different.

Will try again tomorrow.

hana · 26/03/2004 15:31

misdee - I don't think that all that itching and scratching with the chicken pox will be very condusive to baby-dancing!!
I don't know if it would have any implications on ttc, try a search on google and see what comes up.

My dd is just getting over the chicken pox, it's certainly doing the rounds right now.

Quackers · 26/03/2004 16:08

Your only 11DPO, Smelly, try and keep your chin up! Most don't get a pos until day AF due so don;t be down just yet!!! 3 more days!!
