Just wondering if anyone else is still in limbo?! Now on CD35, no sign of AF, bfn on test (I think, hard to wonder if I imagine these shadows of lines on the ICs). Loads of symptoms but don't want to let myself get excited in case AF shows and it's all in my head. Anyone else in the same situation?

How I wish I could Orange my darling... Slimming World controls my every bite and slurp

sigh

Feel like I've been beaten up today, its a beast of an AF

R0ckCh1c · 17/09/2014 17:57

Thanks Science I better consult my docs.

Impatience I feel your pain. My spotting yesterday has now turned full flow... as I expected it would. So at least I know the spotting 2 weeks ago shouldn't have counted as a new cycle. Which means this cycle was 42 days... But at least is better than my previous 63 days!!

Keep positive all... One of us must be due for a BFP soon!! xx

KokoLoko · 17/09/2014 19:20

Sorry to hear that Impatience and R0ck!

Well, I cracked and did a test today, BFN Sad I'm due tomorrow so I'll try with fmu and fingers crossed! I'm sure something would have shown by now if I was though so I don't feel hopeful. I just hope that my next cycle is a bit shorter!!

scienceteachergeek · 17/09/2014 19:57

Come on guys....EVERY single day we're closer to holding our baby :) we're getting there, I promise :)

Love and best wishes to all xxx

KokoLoko · 18/09/2014 09:57

Well, AF got me today Sad I really thought this was our time! The really depressing thing is that we don't even know when we can try again, I envy those people who have a proper cycle and know that they can try again in 14 days. With me it could be 20 days or it could be 60. Sorry, having a bit of a pity party today Blush

Good luck to everyone else! I'm off to Amazon to buy another 50 ov sticks, at least I get to poas lots when ttc Grin

R0ckCh1c · 18/09/2014 12:27

Koko there must be something in the air! I'm feeling blue today, but that could be cause of AF. I know how you feel about messed up cycles, makes it sooo hard to know when to DTD exactly. I had another batch of ov strips delivered from amazon yesterday... So I will continue to POAS lots too. Not had a positive strip yet though.

Our time will come soon... Well it better Grin xx

flowerbombVR · 18/09/2014 14:17

Bfp ladies
Just to let yous know - today I'm not feeling too positive though :(

Please excuse my pity party.

Will try to get bk on later xxx

KokoLoko · 18/09/2014 15:12

Sorry flower, do you mean you got your bfp today? If so, congratulations!! Why aren't you feeling positive though? Let us know, we're here to listen Thanks

Orangeisthenewbanana · 18/09/2014 16:08

That's rubbish Koko, AF has been a busy witch this week hasn't she Angry. I felt quite upset and teary just after she arrived the other week. It did wear off, think it's just the initial disappointment plus hormones. Spoil yourself tonight.

flower hope you're ok xx

scienceteachergeek · 19/09/2014 16:46

How we doing guys?

Flower, hope you're ok.

CherryPie3 · 19/09/2014 17:34

Hi ladies :)

Sorry for my absence, it's been far longer than I wanted.

How is everyone? Hello to our new ladies :)
Sorry to those caught by the red witch :(

It was DH and mine 9th wedding anniversary on Wednesday. We celebrating by choosing the registration plate for his new car haha (he went for a Clio in the end).
Wednesday evening we went for a pub meal and the cinema. It was a fun night but towards the end I started feeling a bit poorly, and I've been in bed ever since really. I slept most if the day yesterday and all today. I've literally been getting up for the school runs!

Anyway, enough of my pity party.
CD59 today and another bfn. In only tested today as I intend to start taking Agnus castus and evening primrose oil to see if it helps. I guess we'll see :)

Take care ladies, I'll take my germs away now. I've even rung in sick to work! Unheard of!!!

Beaverfeaver2 · 20/09/2014 19:20

Hey crazy fruits, I'm back from hols.

It was a great week with surprise good weather.

After packing hiking and wet weather gear all I needed was a bikini!
Swimming in the sea with my puppy alongside me was the highlight.

No sign of anything for me still.
So that's CD83 now!

Was a little teary on holiday the first day for some reason. I just felt so angry that I hadn't come off my pill sooner and waited because DH wasn't ready. Finding it difficult to stay positive when we have waited for everything to be just right and now we might have problems.

Blood tests on Tuesday. Will see what they bring.

In the mean time I'm adding pineapple juice to my shopping list as my friend swore by it getting her pregnant and although I am not a fan of the stuff, I decided to read about it and there might just be something in it.

(Plus avocados, cream cheese and all other foods that have ever been mentioned as fertility boosters in the past)

Love my job (most of the one) but on a holiday come down and not looking forward to 7am on Monday at all.

I really want to set up my own open air doggy day care but DH thinks I'm mad. I'd rather work all the hours in the world if it was for myself and involved animals.
I just need to find a plot of pasture or forest to rent now...

R0ckCh1c · 21/09/2014 09:37

Cherry glad you & hubby had a lovely wedding anniversary! Hope you're feeling better!

Beaver welcome back! You were very luck with the weather, it's been beautiful for September! Fingers crossed for blood tests on Tues! Ahh doggy day care Smile I am a big sucker for doggies!! Not allowed pets in my flat... So can't wait for the day we move out & get a house... Other half promised me he would get me a pup when that time finally comes! There is a 'therapy' dog at my works (school for children with autism) & I absolutely adore him... Wish I could take him home!

It was my other halfs birthday celebration with friends last night... So let my hair down... Well needed after the ups & downs been feeling recently because of poxie hormones!

Anyway, hope everyone having a lovely weekend! xx

Orangeisthenewbanana · 21/09/2014 11:46

Hi ladies! Welcome back Beaver, glad you had a lovely time away Smile. Cherry, happy anniversary and hope you're feeling a bit better now after your bug.
Nothing interesting going on here on the ttc front, CD15 and negative OPK'S still. Am expecting I should probably ov within the next 7-10 days so the POAS is likely to increase exponentially from now on! Grin

Hope you're all enjoying your weekends x

Beaverfeaver2 · 23/09/2014 19:51

High fruits.
How is everyone?

I had my blood test this morning.
For some reason in really nervous about it.

I'm so scared that I won't get pregnant.

I'm on cd 85 now.

In more positive news I had a pay rise and DH started his new job this week.

R0ckCh1c · 23/09/2014 21:56

Hey Beaver,

Did they say how long until you get your results? Think it's usually 2wks? I'm sure they will come back fine & just your body taking it's time to adjust going back to normal. But will be thinking of you & wishing for the best!!

Yay, that's fab news hun! Means you'll be able to save extra monies ready for when you do get preggers Grin Hope DH enjoying his new job!? xx

Katewright699 · 24/09/2014 14:50

Hi ladies... Would you mind if I dived in :) im kate, 35 and me and hubby have decided to try for our 3rd.. I came off cerazette on 10 th sept, after being on it for 4 months.. Had a 2 day bleed on the 12 th and 13 th and have had nothing since then...would love to join you for some inspiration and advice along the way :)

Orangeisthenewbanana · 24/09/2014 20:15

Hi Kate and welcome. We're in a bit of a lull at the moment as AF has been lurking recently Angry. How old are your other DC? I am in awe of people with 3 or more - think 2 will be the absolute limit for my sanity!

Congrats on your pay rise Beaver and hope your DH's new job is going well.

Better head off, got to finish cooking dinner before GBBO catch up! Grin

Katewright699 · 24/09/2014 20:24

How annoying for everyone ?? I have one who's coming up 10 and the other is 7 both boys :) ... Have no idea when to expect AF to turn up as I had a lot of random bleeding on cerazette, but was on microgynon before that and usually came on 25 th if the month ish with a 28 day cycle x

flowerbombVR · 24/09/2014 22:41

Hey ladies - I'm back and much better. Didn't expect that. Sorry I never got back to yous sooner x
I couldn't even begin trying to explain what happened as I suspect my hormones had an awful lot to do with my strange/low mood. It's positive now though, hallelujah, in every way x
Damn that Af she really is a witch.
I hope you all have sticky beans and will keep praying/Fx for you all xxx

flowerbombVR · 24/09/2014 22:46

And thanks Smile

Thanks for being there xx

Katewright699 · 26/09/2014 12:33

It's such a pain in the arse not having a clue when my AF is due.. Been keeping an eye on things down below but dry as a bone so far Sad...and I'm worried that if AF is due in a couple of weeks that I'll ovulate and bloody miss it !!! Driving myself slightly nuts over here lol

Orangeisthenewbanana · 26/09/2014 17:50

I know what you mean Kate. Based on my last cycle, due to ov middle of next week, but that cycle was a week shorter than the one before so who knows!

Have been doing cheap internet ov sticks for the last 10 days. Got what looked like a positive today for the first time, so did another and also a clear blue flashy face one. The second IC had a fainter test line than the first (but still darker than the ones I've had up till now), but the CB one was clearly negative! Confused

I know the CB one is supposed to be with FMU but surely if other tests are bordering on positive, something should still show?? Not a clue what's going on! Have had a bit more thin CM last few days but probably not EWCM (sorry, tmi!). Think we'll just start upping DTD for the next week or so and keep testing...... Am so jealous of ladies who know pretty much exactly which day they ov every month Envy. Ah well, will just have to keep POAS Grin

Hope all you ladies are well x

Katewright699 · 27/09/2014 09:49

That's what strategy I was thinking of using... The Internet cheapies while in limbo and switching to cb digital if I think I'm nearing a positive :) seems a bit more economical lol... I have had no cm at all since coming off the pill and only that 2 day bleed :( I wouldn't mind but all I ever seemed to do while on the pill was bleed !!!! Now I've come off it .. Nothing !!!! How annoying !!!!! Hope everyone on here is doing ok and holding on ;) xx

Orangeisthenewbanana · 27/09/2014 13:18

Another negative flashy face this morning first thing. Will carry on with cheapies daily and clear blue every other day now until I get a definite positive or AF arrives, as think I will probably ov in the next 7-10 days. CD21 today and no ov yet Sad.
