So I guess I'm changing buses now then . In the unlikely case the bleeding stops or is very light I might test for the next few days but I've never had spotting in my normal cycle when not ttc or in a successful pregnancy so I think this isn't going to work out . Also such a faint line on 13 dpo and with my son and other preg that got further along by now I'd have a strong plus.

Siarie · 30/07/2014 13:22

Whoops sent that too soon..

Ekk just wanted to share excitement, really small thing but I was just sat next to a lady with the stroller I want! In the colour I want and all the extra features. Not even pregnant yet but seeing that in the flesh was exciting!

Nordicmom · 30/07/2014 13:28

Yes sun I've had a few chemicals and lots of mc a bit further along in the first trimester . For me blood has always been bad news :(. Had all the tests and experts , steroids and only managed to carry my first DS myself before this trouble begun then had to have dd through a gestational surrogate . No one has ever been able to figure out whats wrong . Lately 3 chemicals so don't seem to even be able to get further anymore .

HettyB · 30/07/2014 13:49

Thanks for the hugs April - I should get a letter within 2 weeks with appointment details. Not sure when the appointment will be but am hoping it's soon!

Nordic I'm sorry you're bleeding again - fingers crossed it stops soon or September is your month.

Will read back tonight and write a better reply - sorry to others I've not mentioned! I'll also re-do the stats list tonight as we have lots of lovely new joiners :-)

Nordicmom · 30/07/2014 14:01

Hetty I'll get a go in August if this is the end of this one . I'm still on the July bus with my faint positive test but anticipating on moving on to this August one since looks like it won't work out because the spotting started ...

Aprilray · 30/07/2014 14:13

Thanks for the BFP stats Cinnamon. DH and I are planning EoD next cycle. Sunbathing we didn't (grr) he was feeling rotten last week - planned to on Monday but just didn't happen as we were both shattered. We have booked the week around ov off next month so fx. I did think about meeting him off the plane and booking a room in the airport hotel to save a few precious hours but think it will be too late by then.

I love Secret Eaters, one of my (many!) guilty TV pleasures!

I have just ordered some soft cups off Amazon, TTC retail therapy Smile Slightly apprehensive about using them but willing to try anything!

Hope the spotting stops Nordic

Your welcome Hetty Smile fx for a quick appointment.

spinningirl10 · 30/07/2014 14:34

Oh Nordic I'm so sorry to hear you're bleeding, ttc can be so cruel to us Thanks

Congratulations Cinnamon Grin

lucieloos · 30/07/2014 15:08

I am ordering co enzyme 10 ubiquinol and wheat germ oil capsules this month both of which are meant to help improve the quality of your eggs. I'm also going to try soft cups if I can find them anywhere! Will look into yoga and accupuncture as well I think. Want to give myself the best chance.

Sorry to hear you are bleeding Nordic was hoping you would get your bfp Thanks

xBlueberry88x · 30/07/2014 16:25

Afternoon ladies,

Nordic Im sorry to read your bleeding hopefully it isnt bad.

Congrats cinnamon

English dont feel like a fool we all get our hopes up every month even if we know it isnt really possible (ive done it many times).

Chandlers I hope your ear feels better soon, ive never really had earache before.

Spinning I let dp think it was his idea last night and even dressed up a bit for him lol bless they have no idea really.

ok so I am about 3dpo...its way to early to have symptoms right??

Today I have been feeling nauseous and migraines on and off why do I do this to myself lol ive got nearly 2 weeks to go.

Knackered though dtd thursday sat sun mon tues (positive opk sun) think I need a night off tonight lol

ChandlersFarang · 30/07/2014 16:26

xBlue, congrats on the ov, had meant to say that previously! Can't take these things for granted can we Wink Also, we're in synch! I am 3DPO too. Will be rooting for you Grin x x

Siarie · 30/07/2014 16:32

Nordic I'm sorry about the potential chemical, same thing happened to me last week and it's heartbreaking when you are so happy seeing the BFP.

But at least you can get that far, just need to work out what's causing the problem now. I'm assuming mine was due to coming off BC and hoping my cycle is more normal this time.

Could you maybe speak to your doctor? If it keeps happening that is

xBlueberry88x · 30/07/2014 16:39

Chanlers Thank you!! Its sounds weird saying congrats for it but I was so happy it was happening it just seems right haha.
Cycle buddies it is good luck!!!

Mummabubbles · 30/07/2014 17:29

This moves so fast I'm finding it hard to keep up!
nordic sorry you're bleeding. Thanks

congratulations cinnamon that looks good Smile

Although it's only really month 1 for me I'm already feeling stressed about ttc. Cd5 and I'm obsessing about it. I told myself I wouldn't do that this time round Hmm

Shetland · 30/07/2014 17:43

Congratulations cinnamon

Fingers crossed for you nordic

My CBFM has given me one day of high and then gone straight to peak which is a bit weird but I'll go with it!

Katybear123 · 30/07/2014 18:55

Hi all. Wow lots of news. Cinnamonv pleased for ur bfp. I'm patiently wishing af away this is day 4 so hopefully she goes tomorrow and then fri we can start dtd Smile. I'm excited to try again, I just want it to work. Is anyone using fertility lubricant at all? Read it might be gd?

lucieloos · 30/07/2014 19:17

Hey everyone, I'm going to do a list of the stats for this month as noticed there isn't one yet. If you want to be on it and haven't already done so then could you post up your info please.

Katybear123 · 30/07/2014 19:24

Well done lucie.

Katybear123. 32. Ttc #1. Cycle 3 day 4. Bfp due 21.8

CoffeeOne · 30/07/2014 20:01

Congrats cinnamon
Fingers crossed for you Nordic

5dpo here and so much for being chilled and not symptom spotting, I've got really sore boobs and have been cramping loads Confused

CoffeeOne · 30/07/2014 20:05

lucie I did a stats list earlier on but it's not been added to for a while so will need updating :)

HettyB · 30/07/2014 20:19

Lucie I did a couple a while back which I'm happy to update or you can add the newbies since then?

nordic sorry I'd misunderstood - I think I get confused with dates as I'm at the start of the bus!

blueberry I've had 'symptoms' since 1dpo - our minds do crazy things to us, don't they!

I'm torn - I really want to be pregnant, but I know it would be better if I wasn't this month so I can get the colposcopy and any treatment out of the way before this. I want to be ecstatically happy when I get my BFP and this month it would be tainted with worry :-S

lucieloos · 30/07/2014 20:34

Here's the updated list! Sorry Hetty I only noticed yours when I was half way through. Hope you don't mind. Apologies if I've missed anyone, it's a HUGE bus! Lots of people with missing bfp dates, post them up if you want to update. Fx everyone Smile
