Thanks for all the congratulations... Still not really believing it's real. Hoping this one sticks around a bit longer than the last.

Woohoo Congratulations ErnieGrin

Rainbow555 · 30/05/2014 11:00

Yay congrats Ernie!
I couldn't wait till morning so poas for the very first time! Bfn for now but maybe still too soon so will try again tomorrow...

Had a really crappy and sad day. Came home to find my darling cat had died Sad Sad
Think might have been hit by a car but don't know for sure, found on neighbours drive. I'm devastated tbh and it has been such a shock. Only had them both 2 years since they were kittens! Such a short time on this earth, he filled my life with so much joy and happiness and for that I am grateful but I miss hi terribly already! Sorry to put a downer on the thread but needed to share with others as DH is finding it hard too. RIP Pickles Sad

mrshjb · 30/05/2014 11:22

Hi All

BFN for me too this morning, Silverine, I like you am expecting AF on Sunday so not hopeful now.

Sorry to hear about your cat Rainbow, that's awful.

Congratulations Ernie, brilliant news, stats and what you did would be good.

kurama · 30/05/2014 18:56

oh rainbow im so sorry! mine are only 2 and i couldnt imagine having to go through what you are. have plenty of Wine and big unmumsnetty hugs from me xxx

silverine · 30/05/2014 21:48

Hi ernie how are you feeling? Has it sunk in? Smile We'd love to know your "how I did it" stats: how long you've been trying, what you did differently this cycle, ov and dtd cds, symptoms, any supplements or therapies, etc. Also you can attach a pic of your BFP test to the post! Wink

So ladies, we are up to 19! Can we get some more before the end of the week do you think? Surrey, rainbow, mad and Ihate, it sounds like a Sunday poas after-party! although now armed with a frer i might be tempted to poas tomorrow poco are you still around? FX for us all!!

And rainbow so sorry for Pickles! Thanks Apart from Ernie's bfp it's been a rubbish day! (I found out today a friend of fine who had been trying for ages and finally got a bfp on the second cycle of ivf lost the baby at 8 weeks... Sad)

Rainbow555 · 30/05/2014 22:09

Thanks for the hugs and flowers everyone.
I did another test this morning and still bfn. No af symptoms though. Will wait now and not do one until Monday, af due Sunday, and if that's negative I guess my cycles are not quite sorted yet after coming off the pill and maybe it will just be a longer one this time!
Fx to those waiting to poas again this weekend, I hope you get your bfp!
Might just lurk for a bit..unless I have news of course... It's not really top of my mind at the mo, trying to remember the good times but things are weird at home today in are normal routine without him here! It's going to take some getting use to!

spinningirl10 · 31/05/2014 09:10

Rainbow so sorry to hear about Pickles Thanks and fx af doesn't arrive for you.

silverine · 31/05/2014 09:57

Temperature dipped this morning and a BFN on frer so I guess I'm out... Sad

Ernie1 · 31/05/2014 12:39

Hi all - only had a chance to get back online now.

I think I've managed to upload a pic but not done it before so fingers crossed!

So stats such as they are (I'm not charting) are;

  • Been trying since December but DH didn't want to 'stress out' about it and time everything - I fell first month with DS so I think he expected it to be that easy again.
  • Had an early MC in March (cycle 4) - was only 5 weeks but we decided to leave if in April and this month was first month trying again.
  • DTD CD 11, 16 and 19.
  • I not charting so not sure exact OV day but believe it was between CD 17 and 19 based on EWCM.
  • Not sure we did anything different this month tbh, I've been really lucky with falling fairly quickly each time but I have been more aware of when we do it based on EWCM the last few months to give us a decent chance.

Feeling okay at the moment - which is of course stressing me right out as I'm not quite 5 weeks yet which is when I started bleeding last time. I'm getting really lightheaded when I stand up quickly but not nauseous yet and boobs not sure either which I remember was quite early last time. With DS my sense of smell was epic straight away and that does seem a little sharper so fingers crossed all is well. Can't help but worry a bit more this time. :-(

The May bus continues for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, stock up on more BastardSticks and just want to be upduffed by the green penis dragon!!
Ernie1 · 31/05/2014 12:49

Sorry to hear that Silverine but you never know until AF arrives?

silverine · 31/05/2014 15:57

Great stats & pic Ernie! I know it's easier said than done (I've had an early mc & 2 later ones) but try not to worry too much and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible! Hope to join you in the antenatals soon! X

I really am out now, af arrived bang on time. Good luck to all still waiting! Will give it till Monday for any bfps FX and transfer the stats onto the June bus (30 more messages and this one will be full!) Off for a Brew

Ihatethetwoweekwait · 01/06/2014 12:49

Good pic Ernie, good luck with everything. Sorry to hear about AF Silverine hope next month is your month.

Still no BFP for me, no AF either but I think I'm probably out now as I would have thought it would show on an IC.

Good luck to everyone for June's bus

Rainbow555 · 01/06/2014 13:07

Well I guess that it is time to join the other bus as it leaves the station...no bfp and no af for me yet so who knows!
Will hop on to June bus and see where it takes me!

TinyPawz · 01/06/2014 19:54

Officially baffled beyond belief. 11days late. There was a stand off over possible fertile window and no DTD. 2 BFN (just in case it was an immaculate conception). Oh and this is on clomid so theoretically AF / BFP should be like clockwork.

Any ideas?

silverine · 01/06/2014 22:24

Hi Tiny could it be a chemical? When did you poas?
When I got a chemical (or early MC) I got a bfp a day or 2 after af was due on a Sat, then I tested again on Mon and it was bfn. AF was 8 days late in total.
Maybe you might have got a bfp but missed it and af is due soon?..

kurama · 01/06/2014 23:17

Nope tiny. I'm Was on month 3 of clomid last month and was 3days late. First two months bang on time so no idea....
