Evening everyone :), I'm on day 5 of flashing smileys. It's actually really winding me up now! I've also tested in the afternoon with the clearblue sticks that just show a solid smiley when it detects the surge but they have been negative yesterday and today so I don't think I've missed it. Thank you so much for the information and the PDF link sebsmummy, that's helped me loads and does clarify my understanding. I think I'd be better off with the dual hormone one and cheaper ICs for the afternoon. From doing the smileys in the past I know my surge is fast, I was testing twice a day and only got smileys in the afternoon. They be gone by the next day! Very much appreciated :).
monten the FB ban is gong ok except I checked it by accident when I sat down this afternoon! But I quickly got rid of it again, I didn't look too much. No baby announcements but it's only a matter of time, I do feel a lot less uptight without it today. Maybe it's the feeling that I'm in control of something to do with my feelings though, I can't control my feelings and emotions about tcc and miscarriage, but I can control not feeling like crap because I've compared myself to someone else. I also feel less guilty, FB often makes me feel like I'm intruding on people's lives a bit. I will be logging back in for a cause on the 24th - a friend is doing a tribute to her friends little boy who died, it would have been his birthday. It almost made me cry when I read it but she has requested that everyone puts their profile picture of a heart made out of anything and everything and then uses a hashtag label so that they all show on one page for the little boy's parents. I can't miss being part of that, those poor parents.
Well done on avoiding poas oneday! Very impressed :), I wish I had your strength but unfortunately it's become my hobby. It's funny how this just used to be something I'd heard about, now I'm living it.
marmalade that sounds like good news! Feeling rubbish is a good sign, weirdly enough. I have my fingers crossed for you, please po another s soon and share it with us.
I just want my solid smiley, seriously - I don't have the stamina! We've decided to DTD every other day until I get a solid smiley. I'm not convinced it's going to happen this cycle, it's my wtf cycle so perhaps I just need to wait it out. Who'd have thought trying for baby 2 would have descended into this chaos. I'm sure none of us ever imagined we'd be here with the experiences we have.
I hope everyone is feeling well, I have had cramps for 2 days now. My back hurts and my pelvis feels heavy, I also have pinching on both of my sides where I imagine my ovaries are. I think there is something going on so I just have to hope that ovulation is right around the corner. I'm being very impatient, I'm on cd 14 now so it's not like I'd expect to ovulate before this and it's straight after the miscarriage so I'm not sure why I'm expecting so much.
