Ah thanks guys I will keep dtd then xx

pinpan · 15/06/2014 19:57

I'm still in - AF due sometime between Thursday and Wed next week. Might test on Friday, but I'm going to try and leave it longer. I don't have my hopes too high this month (I'm trying reverse psychology on my body!), but actually I'll be happy either way coz I've got so much on over the next few weeks that descending into morning sickness wouldn't be that great anyway. Hmm

AngelsInWinter · 15/06/2014 20:29

I feel a bit like that, pinpan. I have three DC aged 5, 3 and 1 and with the summer holidays coming up I could do without being out of action!

ladyflower23 · 15/06/2014 20:47

Hello everyone
Sorry to hear AF arrived Tezza. I think I read somewhere that you can get another LH surge right before AF so that might explain your dark OPK.
AF arrived for me today so my small flame of hope is now extinguished. It does confirm to me that I did ov late. We had sex 2 days before I think I ov, so I was still in with a chance even though I was being lazy on the shagging front. This has taught me a lesson though - must not stop shagging until PMT starts, that way I can be sure I haven't missed the egg.
On a positive note I am feeling less crazy. Actually knew AF was coming this morning as woke up and thought 'I feel sane today, the hormones must be changing.' So am going to enjoy the next few weeks of normalcy before I go loop the loop with approaching ovulation.
Also have convinced myself that I have secondary infertility, even though I have no evidence of this. Have decided to change my attitude, stop having bad thoughts and believing it will happen...and not stress about the growing age gap.

Sorry to hear AF turned up Tezza...all the best for next month hun.
Angels yep 2 ov us then falling preg after coming off the pill, altho i did have a period/bleed only lasted 2 days though.
Good luck Katybear x
Hope AF stays away for youpinpan & so sorry ladyflower that Af turned up for you too!
I must say your post made me giggle Smile ....feeling less crazy & feeling sane. Lol.
Good luck for next month xx

Katybear123 · 15/06/2014 21:22

So so helpful and hopeful to read this, thank you so much. Hubbie just told me he wants a dad's net to ask stuff. :-)

pinpan · 16/06/2014 00:39

I've got tummy ache. Sad If it's AF cramps then I'm heading into a 21 day cycle, which is totally unfair since I'm normally somewhere close to 28. Maybe it's just a bit of a coldy tummy bug, since everyone else in my house has been full of cold for weeks. I will not consider anything else.

JaneyTea · 16/06/2014 09:13

Sorry to hear about AF's arrival, Ladyflower , but your attitude sounds really positive.

Still no AF here. Kicking myself for not monitoring things better before we starting TTC. Oops. Thermometer and OPKs have been despatched this morning. DP has decided he would rather just DTD every other day, but I feel like I need some reassurance that I'm actually ovulating.

Monday. Onwards....

newbie6 · 16/06/2014 09:44

Hmmm, am confused and need to ask you all a question in case you know what's going on! AF turned up a day late which is v unusual for me but not too worried about that BUT it is very light which is very strange as it is always heavy first 2 days then calms down? I'm def not pregnant so not sure what or why it's doing this? To put it in context I don't even feel I need a tampon, a liner would prob be suffice, sorry for TMI but now panicking my cycle is wonky and I'll never get preggers again! Anyone experienced this? I've never been on the pill etc so it's not that either? X

teejayem · 16/06/2014 10:07

Well, another BFN this morning, still no AF and now on cd35 and 13dpo. Think I'm probably out now, just a question of AF turning up to spoil the party. Although I'm so sure I ov'd (my clearblue gizmo told me as such) I've got a niggling feeling that this long cycle is still part of my post Cerazette hangover, which is a bit of a joke considering I stopped taking it on the first of March!

pinpan · 16/06/2014 11:12

Oh, I reeeeally want to POAS. Please tell me not to. It'd be a waste of a stick and a BFN regardless of truth at this stage.

1moretime · 16/06/2014 11:20

13dpo for me cd41 as ov late on cd28.
High temp spike yday & temp still up today...but got cramps xx

teejayem · 16/06/2014 11:20

Cramps and brown spotting. Oh hello AF, you fucking cow! Oh well. I suppose on the upside a February baby would have been a bit close to Xmas.
I'm going shopping. Bollocks to this!

ladyflower23 · 16/06/2014 12:52

Sorry the cowbag got you too teejay. I have noticed a def correlation between arrival of af, needing to buy stuff and drink Wine
Pinpan step away from the peestick!!!!! Come in, you're meant to be the strong one. Don't make me cyberslap you! How many dpo are you? Think about how angry with yourself you will be if you cave. Think about the waste of money!
Newbie any chance it's implantation?

greysar · 16/06/2014 13:06

Pinpan I'm the same, ooh I don't fancy a coffee right now must be pg, haven't seen AF for a little while must be pg (never mind my well-documented irregularity), boobs are tender must be pg. And yet no!

AngelsInWinter · 16/06/2014 13:16

AF came for me last night/today (well, I say AF but it's very dark red/brown and a bit mucousy - tmi! That'll be cos I came off the pill though I'm guessing). It came 30 days after my withdrawal bleed.

ANYWAY... I'm actually feeling really calm, and a bit happy about it to be honest. I think I'm going to stick with my 3 babies. I'm only 24, so there is plenty of time in the future if I change my mind. I've started back on my pill today.

I think DP is a little disappointed, but he's not the one who would be throwing up, giving birth, then breastfeeding a small baby for months on end!

Good luck to everyone else - I am still a teeny bit jealous that you get this opportunity!!

Xx

ladyflower23 · 16/06/2014 13:28

Hi Angels. Can't believe you are leaving us! I don't blame you for wanting to stop for the timebeing though. Took me 2.5 years to build up the courage to try for 2nd one and pretty sure this will be my last! Like you say, plenty of time for more if you want them further down the line Smile

AngelsInWinter · 16/06/2014 15:09

I knowwww lady! It's the stress of ttc-ing too; constantly wondering what's going on. Dtd about 100 times then not ending up pregnant! Drives you crazy! Really hope you get a BFP soon :) xx

newbie6 · 16/06/2014 15:37

Hi lady flower,

I don't really know much about implantation bleeding, I ovulated on the 29th and 30th May (well got the smiley face then!) so DTD both days, I thought implantation bleeds happened about a week later? AF was due last Friday but I thought showed up on Sat but it's very light so now totally confused. Should I test tomorrow again? Surely a test would show by now though and I took a test on Friday, day AF was due and it was a clear not Pregnant? X

Emma1109 · 16/06/2014 16:51

Hi girlies

Not been on in a couple of days. Nice to see some BFPs and really sorry to hear AF made her shitty appearance for some of you xxx

Still nothing over here on my part

Xx

ladyflower23 · 16/06/2014 17:31

Thanks Angels, it really does not seem fair that you are not duffed up after all that shagging. You put so much effort in! Well loads of babydust for if/when you are ready to try again xx
Newbie implantation bleeding usually happens 6-10 days after ovulation, so would not be that if the smiley was right...so sorry, I don't have any other ideas, I am also always into it er full blast! Is it still really light?

newbie6 · 16/06/2014 17:42

That's what I thought lady flower, it's practically stopped?! Don't need any tampons or liners at all and nothing when I wipe, sorry for TMI, v odd! Looked up t'internet and apparently implantation bleeding is possible but v rare. Not really sure what to do as all very odd for me as normally like clock work? Have taken those conception vitamins in the past 5 days, not sure if they may affect my AF?

Katybear123 · 16/06/2014 18:06

Hi newbie are you recently off the pill? The reason I ask is I have had exactly the same. Day 33 poas bfn, the later that day had 4hrs of v light period then nothing since. Now on day 36, v weird and am putting down to body confusion but could it b implantation bleed?

ladyflower23 · 16/06/2014 18:26

Newbie are you taking the Pregnacare Conception tablets?! Claire posted a link about that on here a few days ago, did you see it? I have done further research on it now, and there seems to be quite a few women out there talking about it negatively, in that they have been getting weird pregnancy type symptoms in second half of cycle, scanty and weird EWCM, and/or delayed AF. I have been getting weird preggo symptoms, which I put down to stopping pill, but now paranoid it's the vits so stopping them and just gonna take folic acid for this cycle and see if it makes any dif. Not saying that's what's causing the weirdness with your AF, but maybe a connection?

AngelsInWinter · 16/06/2014 18:36

Hahaha I sure did Ladyflower!! Thank you xxx
