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?

Hey Orange, my POAS buddy Smile I wish I came off BC earlier too, but as you say what will be will be. Never thought I'd become so obsessed with wanting a BFP!!

My other half got a new game that came out yesterday too... Let me guess... The new game is called Destiny?? So I'm currently a XboxOne widow until he completes the game lol. But if were to say time to DTD... I'm sure he'd be off the xbox in a flash Grin

Night all, sweet dreams x

Goooooood morning!!!

So, how are we all today??

R0ck, my DH could feel the strings to the Houdini coil when I first had it put in but they softened after about a month and he couldn't feel them at all. Of course it could have disappeared by then... I have no idea when it vanished, I never checked the strings. I must have a welly top Grin

I have a day of staying in today and waiting for deliveries. That's fine by me, I've got a huge pile of clean washing that needs sorting and putting away. I might iron a few shirts for DH, I don't normally iron at all!
Hey I might even tidy the kids rooms.

Have a glorious day everyone, the sun's out :)

Morning Fab Fannys (another name for our group, I've just decided)

Well I fell asleep at stupid early o'clock last night, and am literally not long up this morning... I've chosen to work at home so I can stay in my jammas but I am feeling as heavy as a stone and could easy crawl back into bed.

I was looking at all my dates again this morning and there really is no way I could be pregnant unless my body isn't producing enough HCG to show on the tests; so gearing myself up for a missed or very very late period - which is why I reckon I'm so tired.

But this wee voice in my head is just telling me this aint normal. I dunno if its baby not normal or body not normal... but summits not right. AND I keep reading all these things of jeffing google about women who don't get their BFP's till wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy later on.

I'm clutching at straws aint I?

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 09:36

Well if you're clutching at straws impatience then so am I!!! Thing is though, it really is possible, who's to say it won't happen to one of us? That link is very interesting, it's happened to so many people.

I also went to bed very early yesterday, about 18:50. I was asleep before the kiddos and didn't get up until 7am! That's unheard of for me but I was up at stupid am yesterday morning so that will have a lot to do with it.

I forgot to tell you guys yesterday too. At 6am yesterday my cousin was messaging me on fb, she said she just had to tell someone.... She's having identical twins!!! :) :) :)
She found out at her 12wk scan on Monday. She had a scan at 7wks that only showed one ickle baba. And now there's 2 ickle babas :)
So happy for her, and not even the tiniest but jealous cos she's so so lovely. :)

I'm all smiley today haha x

Orangeisthenewbanana · 10/09/2014 10:18

Morning ladies!

Yes R0ck, it is Destiny DH is playing! Don't really mind, he doesn't like football so it's not like I have to put up with that 9 moaths of the year Smile.

Wow Cherry, twins! How exciting. My BIL and SIL have identical boys who are about 2 months - I am in awe of how they manage, especially as they also have a DD who's not quite 2! Quite relieved it wasn't an inherited twin pregnancy, not sure I could cope! Confused.

Have a lovely day all, better get back to work!

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 11:59

Crikey, even after 12hrs sleep last night I'm yawning my head off and could sleep on a washing line!

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 13:37

Well girls, here's today's test. I swear there's a line but it has proved tricky to photograph so I think it's an evap line :(

I need to think of something else I think, I keep stalking the ante natal boards wondering when I can join one :(

Hope you're all having a nice day x

Anyone else still waiting?
Orangeisthenewbanana · 10/09/2014 13:55

Can you get hold of a clear blue digital one? At least you won't have to faff about with lines then! Can't see the picture clearly I'm afraid to offer an opinion Sad

When you do head over to the antenatal boards soon, you must pop back and say hello! We'll miss you otherwise!

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 14:19

I wish I could orange, everywhere local to me is sold out! The only clearblue ones they have is the blue cross ones and I don't fancy those.

I don't think I'm pregnant anyway, just wishful thinking lol :)
The test with the 'half line' the other day was probably a faulty test I think, if I was pregnant surely the line would have been full length.

Hey ho, will just have to have words with the husband I think, see if I can change his mind maybe? :)

ImpatiencePersonified · 10/09/2014 14:27

Seduce him! Chocolate cake all over them lovely norks of yours and he'll be like putty in your hands AND he can have his cake and eat it Grin

Sorry it aint a conclusive BFP lovely, only a matter of time I'm sure.

How are you feeling about the docs tomorrow Beaver?

Everyone else alright?

KokoLoko · 10/09/2014 14:37

Hi ladies!

Can I join you please?? If you're looking for ludicrous long cycles I'm your girl! My cycles this year have been:
67 days
34
71
And I'm currently on CD33..

I went to see the doctor on CD70 last cycle but she said they wouldn't look at me or run any tests until we'd been TTC for a year, which they count from February despite not having used anything for 25 months (When I had DC2). He stopped feeding at 18 months (February), which was when AF returned.

I took Agnus Castus this cycle to see if I could reduce my cycle length and according to my OPKs I oved on CD28 so I'm expecting AF on ~18 February (so a 42 day cycle).

Aargh! Just wish I was regular so we had more chances to try!!!

Good luck to everyone waiting, hope we all get BFPs soon!! And congrats to those who already have Grin
Koko xx

ImpatiencePersonified · 10/09/2014 15:04

Hey Koko,

Course you can join us darlin, although I always say that and then remember it aint my friggin thread.

Anyway.... those cycles need looking at I think sweet cheeks. I went to see my doc yesterday and she couldn't have been better. I have blood tests a go go booked in for Monday... after only ttc since Jan and mine only generally vary by about ten days (although this one is taking the piss at day 47 to be honest). I think they can do it when it suits them, it just doesn't often suit them!

I would maybe have a wee read up on PCOS and see if anything sounds familiar, I don't want to scare you but it is one of the most common causes of irregular periods. I have three friends with PCOS and they have 7 kids between them so its in no way a show stopper but its just really useful to know whats going on.

If they symptoms do sound familiar, get back to the docs and demand a test for PCOS. (I can put on my best stern voice if that helps).

They can be total arseholes at times can ovaries

xxxx

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 15:27

Welcome koko :) I read your post and thought 'PCOS' too, like the lovely impatience. Something to perhaps mention to your doc?
Hope your af is due before 18th February chicken, that would be an immensely long cycle! Wink

impatience, I love your optimism hun, I think I need to just be grateful for my 3 little blessings. I'm very lucky to have any children so if DH says no I've got a feeling it will stay that way. Plus he's eyeing up new cars and it's gone from looking at 7-seaters to boy-racers... Think he's having an early mid life crisis. He's only 27! Hmm

Think I'm about cd 50 or thereabouts today. Wish the witch would just show up then I get on with getting over it!

Sorry to be a misery today. Just not feeling it, I'm tired and cranky and sicky. Boo!

ImpatiencePersonified · 10/09/2014 15:59

I feel like I could punch a lamb today so totally feeling the tired and cranky shit Chez.... SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN

You should be very grateful for your three wee blessings indeed but you don't stop wanting new pants when you already have some...... so don't talk yourself out of something that feels important to you, sometimes, you just want more pants.

As for cars, well he aint gonna get the three young uns in that is he? Compromise on a super fast big un, and promise him untapped sexy time (and chocolate cake, I stand by the chocolate cake).

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 16:18

Thank you impatience :)

I needed to hear that. I'm considering the chocolate cake Grin He's heading for a Clio Hmm I'm trying to talk him out of it. As long as his has 5 seats and can seat him plus 4 kiddos, that's fine really. We'll just upgrade mine to a 7-seater. Actually that makes more sense anyway thinking about it! Lol!

CherryPie3 · 10/09/2014 16:19

And I'm sorry you're feeling cranky today too. Must be something in the air xx

ImpatiencePersonified · 10/09/2014 16:54

It is something in the air... HORMONES. Whether its too many or too little I have no idea but I'm like a coiled spring! I'm shit with uncertainty.

As for the car, bonzer idea... upgrade yours.

My lovely blokes in the kitchen preparing supper, hard to believe we're getting wed in a few weeks time. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I COULD HIGH FIVE HIS FACE... WITH A CHAIR.

Seriously, that's how messed up my emotions are!!

KokoLoko · 10/09/2014 18:19

Thanks for the welcomes Smile

Hee hee, you're right Cherry, except knowing me I really could be waiting until February for AF!!! Hope your DH sees sense about the car issue!

Glad your Doc was more helpful Impatience. Because I've conceived 4 times really quickly (2 DC) the doc thought it was just the bfing messing with me and that I was just impatient (true!!). She did hilariously tell me she got really drunk and conceived but then realised she shouldn't have said that Grin

I'll Google PCOS and see if it fits me, thanks for the tip!!

Orangeisthenewbanana · 10/09/2014 18:30

Hi Koko and welcome! Smile. Sorry to hear you had no joy with your doctor. Sooo frustrating being told to be patient when you want a DC on YOUR schedule, not theirs Angry.

Impatience is getting hitched?!! Congratulations lovely Smile Thanks Your fella sounds like a good 'un as well, cooking the dinner! Hope all the wedding stuff is going well. Are you honeymooning? Perfect chance for some serious DTD!

Don't give up hope yet Cherry. Agree with wise Impatience, just because you have kids already, doesn't mean you can't want more. The car plan sounds good and keeps your options open - just in case, y'know Grin.

KokoLoko · 10/09/2014 18:33

I know Orange, doesn't she realise I'm getting old and I want it now

And sorry, Impatience CONGRATULATIONS!!! Can't believe I missed you're getting married soon, yay Thanks

Orangeisthenewbanana · 10/09/2014 18:45

Ooooh, my ov strips have arrived today! Now I just have to work out when to start peeing on them......

Grin
KokoLoko · 10/09/2014 19:39

I have a confession, I still am despite oving 5 days ago, it's an addiction I tells'ya! I started on about day 4 optimistically and my 72 day cycle cost me a blimming fortune!!! I have to buy them 50 at a time I use so many and I hate to think how much I've spent on them!!

R0ckCh1c · 10/09/2014 20:05

Evening All,

Impatience you never know, my sister didn't get BFP until she was 8wks with her first & 5wks with her second. Hope you're feeling better this evening CakeFlowers Never knew you were getting married in couple of weeks... Should keep your chin up & look forward to your lovely big day & then hopefully you'll receive a BFP & can double celebrate Grin

Cherry congrats to your cousin. Ahh would be so lovely to have twins, but a handful I would imagine Smile Have you tried seeing if you can buy clear blue digital from Amazon if your local shops don't do them, then you'll have it ready for next time you wanna check Smile Hope you're feeling better this evening CakeFlowers

Beaver hope docs goes well tomorrow

Kook welcome to the group Smile My docs said if I go over 2month cycle again to go back & they will take blood tests. Perhaps try asking if you can see a different doc?

I've pee'd on ov strip this evening & got a second faint line... Done it again shortly afterwards to double check but nothing... Although pack does say to make sure you haven't pee'd for at least 3hrs!! Oooops... Looks like time to DTD tonight just in case & test ov strip again tomorrow to see if line darkens... Fingers crossed Grin
