No such thing as the wrong sort of conversation or talking too openly or too much on here, somesort. You have been through a hell of a time. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Agree about the scary nature of BFPs for some. I am lucky to have had one straightforward conception and pregnancy, but I have a friend who is about 28 weeks following 2 mcs and she really mourns the experience of a carefree pregnancy like mine. She has worried and expected problems throughout. She said she saw her midwife for a regular check recently and it was the first time she was relatively relaxed as the baby is kicking regularly, and then the inexperienced MW (not her usual one) couldn't find the heartbeat. Completely freaked her out until the senior MW came in and found it instantly. It just brought back to her how fragile she is after her experiences.

Practising my cheerleading routine on my nightshift ready for all u poas ladies! I wanna wake up from my daytime sleep to lots of bfps!!

Pretty sure it's a bfn for me this time round :( - could only see the smallest hint of smth (though lighting not too good at this hour) and it looks like a bfn from the photo. Still only 9dpo but feeling like I may be out this month and probably have line-eye!

Let's see some bfps this morning though!

Want it is probably still early. I posted a timings article previously that said it usually takes 11-13 days after fertilization happenings. So unless your sperm hunted down that egg 2 days before your ov, you need to give it at least another 48hrs. Also IC HPTs can sometimes require more concentrated hormones to fire them up, maybe use a FRER in two days time?
What I'm trying to day is give yourself a bit longer, as you're not out until AF shows up!

I was reading something last night that said if you don't have cm present when you dtd then sperm are unlikely to live for more than 2 hours!! Has anyone else heard of this? I do use pre-seed or similar but not always, will have to make sure I always use during fertile time I think!

I poas this morning but it didn't work as I didn't even get the control line. Think there was too much wee Blush I'll test again in the morning. I'm 11dpo and getting sore boobs now but that's fairly normal.

Broody and Somesort Flowers

Wanttobeamummy don't count yourself out yet there's still time Smile

Nordicmom · 12/10/2014 08:25

Want to be , it's still early for you so there's hope!
MrsE I hope you feel better.
Sorry for any bfn this morning .
Am feeling tortured here. Only have digitalis in the house since that's all DH found last night . A BFN last night ( but keep on peeing all the time so it was like testing with water) and this morning . I was crazy enough to take the tests apart though and the lines are darker this morning than last night . Been staring at others taken apart tests on the net , I must be crazy ;)

Nordicmom · 12/10/2014 08:26

... Am 14 dpo and no af either but waiting for it show up any minute. Maybe this is another chemical considering how I've been feeling

Coffeeone how annoying that your hpt didn't work!

Nordic, sorry for the bfn, the end of the 2ww is definitely the hardest time, I think it turns us all into crazy ladies.

Well here's the stats so far 14 dpo af due 2 days ago no symptoms for either .bfn Fri night frer and sat morning cheapo tesco stick I wish my body would do something

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/10/2014 08:48

Morning all, spinning I didn't get much respite all night. It felt a bit calmer this morning but after walking around for a bit its kicked in again. Main thing is though, no blood. I was told a long time ago that I had an irritable uterus. It would only take a short walk to set off pain. It's very low just like bad period pain. Think I might go on a hunt for some paracetamol.

Thanks Nordic, have you got anywhere with dh on the ivf discussion?

TerrysNo2 · 12/10/2014 08:56

cariad I have heard that too about our clever ovaries but I still worry they won't do that yet! I was also wondering if acupuncture could help encourage a specific ovary, let me know what your acupuncturist says please!

Genni FF will only show that you've ovulated after 3 consecutive temp rises, a temp rise is anything more than 0.2 degrees celsius (0.5 Fahrenheit) I'd love to have a nosy at your chart of you're willing to share and I'll give you my opinion?

want don't give up, it's not over AF arrives!

I'm in the 2ww now and wishing my life away. DH goes to NY on 22 October for 5 days and I don't know whether to POAS before he goes or not, I don't want to ruin his trip with worrying about another ectopic but I don't know if I could wait or hide it from him. Confused

EnglishGirlsReturned · 12/10/2014 08:57

Morning ladies...

I'm definitely with all of you who are almost scared of a BFP! Anyone who's suffered the heartache of a mc will definitely understand those fears. There's no more innocence attached to the joy if the BFP. That being said I want another BFP so much and I KNOW this time will be different. I feel like I've got a different support network I place now and just knowing that makes me feel more positive.

Boo to the bfns, hopefully for those of you testing early it's just that - too early. And those of you with late AF - well I hope you get an answer soon.

Sorry you're feeling crampy MrsE. Try to just relax and take it easy. It's just your irritated uterus making way for that little bean.

Had a brilliant night last night - went to Bounce in London. Basically pizza, a few cocktails and ping pong. So much fun!!
Heading up to Birmingham today for a bit of shopping at The Bullring and then to see John Legend. Excited is an understatement!Grin

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

You've really been through it somesort and can say anything you need to on here. I've not had to go through chemo myself but DP just finished 2 months ago so we don't know what state his swimmers are in. Just started trying again though so we shall see. All the best to you for a BFP and a healthy trouble free pregnancy. Thanks Thanks Thanks

Hello Beaker welcome to pregtober.

Spinning I read that too in Sperm Meets Egg. I'll be on the EPO and pre-seed next month too.

Want it's not too late!

Are you going to poas today Ruby?

Who else is testing this morning?

rubyrubes13 · 12/10/2014 09:11

Did the 9 am poas bfn frer Confused no clue what's wrong with my body ain't been like this since I came off the pill 2 years ago which actually was the opposite af every 2 weeks but I have regular as clockwork since I got married 16 months ago

Boosk · 12/10/2014 09:12

MrsE sorry you are still feeling crampy, look after yourself and take it easy today. Thanks

Treaclepie19 · 12/10/2014 09:13

Hi all!
English that's how I feel. Scared as anything about a bfp but it's all I want.
After yesterday's temp rise I was hoping for another small rise to confirm ov but no. Now it just looks annovulatory again.

Oh and Spinning I always use pre-seed for that reason as I don't seem to get a lot of fertile cm.
