Does the whole rage with dh = bfp thing still work if I've been pissed off with him since ov date (10 days ago) and not spoken to him since yesterday lunch time? Hope so because right now, the thought of dtd with him again makes me even angrier! ConfusedAngry

12 dpo today, or 9dpo, because FF is dithering. Either a BNF or an evap for me this morning. Did another one around 5pm and have the same sort of evap markings, but only if I tilt the tests. It's what I had last month when I had a chemical pregnancy and something was 'off' enough with the ic that made me do a FRER.

Last month came up properly on a FRER, and CB digi as 1-2. I've ordered both of those from Amazon, as I'd rather know if it is going to be another chemical, but AF could be here before the tests. I don't think I want to know badly enough to go to Boots for one, but we'll see. There are no bounds to my TTC mentalness sometimes!

(Can I have a prize for squeezing so many abbreviations into my post, please? Grin )

How on earth did any of you make sense of my last post? Autocorrect went a bit bonkers, sorry.

SoapSudBub · 13/10/2014 21:18

Marking my place! Yay to the bfp's and booooooo to AF!!

Currently 10dpo, loads of symptoms.... But that's the same as every month, I'm a terrible symptom spotter Confused BFN yesterday and today I'm also a fully paid up member of poasaholics! I did get my first positive opk this month on soy so really really hoping we get a soy bean Smile.

I just wanted to ask those who've has their BFP's who are still around: any of you had a pulling sensation almost uti like feeling around 6-7dpo? I had it all of a sudden when I went from sitting to laying in the bath and had to pull my knees up quickly as it was really painful, it disappeared as suddenly as it started- hoping its a SYMPTOM haha!!

joey EPO worked for me straightaway but then again I'm. It sure I really need as I'm rarely dry anyway lol.

lucie good to hear youve had some positive answers. What vitamins are recommended for improving sperm motility? Just asked my DP if he'd consider taking vitamins and now he's sniggering at me lol. Also if I have brown spotting before my period does that mean I have low progesterone? I'm worried now that that's why I'm not getting my BFP. I didn't used to have spotting. Sorry, I know u have enough on you're own plate as it is. Really hope you get ur BFP soon and naturally.

soapsud I'm loving the tardis idea!!

rubyrubes13 · 13/10/2014 22:17

I have a symptom get in there woop woop every time I eat I feels so sick after don't care if it's a bfp symptom or af well we all want the first one but I know my bodies doing something I hate been in limbo 5 days late

lucieloos · 13/10/2014 22:19

Dozy she told me that the odd day or so of spotting before af arrives is ok but if it was more than that i.e 3 days+ then it could possibly be low progesterone but if you are worried a simple blood test at gp's will be able to tell.

She told me to get dh on a good multivitamin, zinc, selenium and 1000mg of vitamin c.

I think make infertility can play quite a large part in those taking longer to conceive but a lot of men don't get tested so never know.

I'm hoping the vitamins will make some difference.

flowerbombVR · 13/10/2014 22:43

Not had time to catch up!

I am just in bed and literally not stopped all day & night. Such is life Smile

I'm excited at the prospect of more baps :)

Hope everyone well and sorry if the witch has been about.

This thread just may have its own poetic justice.... pregyween and the witch ain't getting us... mwahahaha Grin

Too much hilarity, I must sleep at a decent time tonight !

Good night girls xx

Dozygirl · 13/10/2014 22:44

Ok thanks for that. Usually it's about 2-3 days before AF but the cycle before last was 6 days and started quite early so that one worried me but hopefully it was just a one off. If it carries on and I don't get a BFP I might just ask for the tests to rule it out. I wasn't sure if that could be done when you've not been trying for a year or if there's things they're willing to check before that.

flowerbombVR · 13/10/2014 22:44

Oh dear ! More bfps! Bigger baps maybe Confused
it's that time - honest x

lucieloos · 13/10/2014 22:52

I'm not sure dozy maybe they will do it earlier if you have symptoms of a particular problem or you could get it done at a private fertility clinic to put your mind at rest for around £30.

MaGratgarlik1983 · 13/10/2014 23:08

So pleased your scan went well lucie

Well it's still bfn for me although I have so many symptoms! Although I also had quite bad AF cramping earlier tonight and was convinced I'd be about to come on, but that was about 90 mins ago and the cramps have now gone.

Illiria · 14/10/2014 03:54

Glad your scan went ok Lucie.

I am so baffled by my temps this cycle it's amazing. I normally don't need to adjust my temps as so long as I get 3 consecutive hours they stay consistent no matter the wake up time, so temp at 3 am after 3 hours sleep is same as temp at 5am after 3 hours sleep. This month it's been a bit odd to say the least.

Mumwannabe82 · 14/10/2014 05:30

BFN this morning but read weirdly first because a faint line came up horizontally (not meant to) and disappeared again, I know its not a positive but has anyone else had that before?

knittedmittens · 14/10/2014 06:19

Can I join your please? TTC #3 (after twins), cycle#2 after mc. AF currently 2 days late but BFN :(

Mum that's exactly what just happened to me on a superdrug cheapie. Weird.

Mumwannabe82 · 14/10/2014 06:27

Knitted - Mine was a superdrug cheapie too lol definite BFN today though, will try again thursday, I'm not due AF till thurs or Fri though so hoping its too early!!
So you have twins and ttc, that's amazing! I know some women don't get BFP till way after their AF due so don't give up on hope just yet!!

lucygooo · 14/10/2014 06:57

Morning ladies! Sorry I have been awol for a couple of weeks, just had lots on. I love the new pregoween thread!

Anyway I'm hoping you can help restore my sanity and help me interpret what's going on. I am 16dpo (o date according to temping) and no sign of AF - she was due Saturday. Temps are still high although I had a weird peak and drop a few days ago. I've been using the CBFM pregnancy test sticks and they've all been BFN so far but I noticed on this mornings there is a faint but definite second line - however the machine still says BFN.

Just not sure whether the CBFM preg test sticks work the same as normal preg test sticks eg a second line is a second line! Anyone know? I'm going to buy a FRER today to use tomorrow morning, hopefully that will tell me one way or the other! Just really trying not to get my hopes up right now.

rubyrubes13 · 14/10/2014 07:06

Hi Lucy snap I am 17 dpo 5 days late and had 3 bfn last one was Sat ..... going to poas tomorrow then off to the quacks

Boosk · 14/10/2014 07:09

Welcome knitted Smile

Sorry to those with bfns today and good luck to those testing next. Thanks

Dozygirl · 14/10/2014 07:13

Sounds promising Lucy and Ruby. Lucy get a frer!

spinningirl10 · 14/10/2014 07:23

MorningGrin

Welcome Knitted, good luck.

I've had a funny horizontal line on a suprdrug test before. It came and went and you're right it's negative.

Ruby, sorry you're still waiting. Doc sounds like a good idea.

Thanks treacle for temping info.

Another question about temping. Don't think I sleep well enough to temp! This morning I woke at 4am so thought I'd take temp as I usually get up at 6.30 am. Temp at 4am was 36.41, went back to sleep at didn't wake till 7 so took temp again and it's 36.61. That seems like quite a difference? Should I use either temp or not record this morning?

rubyrubes13 · 14/10/2014 07:30

Thanks spinning I am worried the spotting I had 1 dpo was more sinister than I thought hower last poas I was only 13 dpo so could have been to early but can not see another bfn that's why I am
Holding out ... had brown mucus a spot after checking myself last night so thought af was here but nope nada and the only symptoms are twinges and feeling sick after eating and bloated after food

lucygooo · 14/10/2014 07:38

Ruby it's so annoying isn't it! Hoping tomorrow brings you good news, otherwise doc sounds sensible.

Spinning - it's only my first month of temping, but if I wake up more than an hour early or late I adjust my temps using an online calculator. They are always about 0.2-0.3deg higher if I wake up a couple of hours late.

Dozy - frer tomorrow!
