All aboard the Feb bus, as we finally take off

[Blue500]

New bus ladies, bring on those Bfp's!

Good morning
Cd32 so I'm getting more excited now! BFP was due 1st but got a bfn so waiting abit longer to do another one! Had stomach cramps lastnight n the night before but still no AF, usually shows up the morning after cramps but nothing so fx!

Congrats Rhiannon and blueberry.
I'd love to be a scan pictures stage xxx

I think I'm 19dpo if I ovulated when I thought I did x

Oh sparky I'm so sorry, both about the chemical and your decision to stop. I must admit, I've only been trying 4 cycles and I'm finding it so much more draining than I ever thought. We've waiting so long for this so that everything would be perfect before a baby arrives but now I'm so desperate for it to happen it actually hurts every time AF shows up. I really feel for those of you who have been trying for so much longer than me, especially those facing terrible NHS input, you must all be so strong

wishing just seen your post. That sounds incredibly promising. FX for you

Sarky, before you give up ttc please think about having your miscarriages and chemicals looked into. You don't want to hit your thirties, try to extend your family and have to start all those investigations then. Do it while you are young

Wishing, I don't want to burst your bubble, but a BFN at 19dpo points to a later ovulation than you thought. Steel yourself.

CD12 here and we begin AI tomorrow night! Very excited this month to know I will be drowning in sperm by CD18. Can men get stage fright when they're alone in the bedroom masturbating into a cup?

purdey if you stand outside the door and shout encouraging words Id imagine stage fright could become an issue....

I'm 7/8 DPO and being really forgetful today distracted by heavy snow is that a symptom?!

It sounds like some of you ladies are having a frustrating wait for news. FX.

I dnt even know wheno ivukate I jus went off ewcv that day which was 13th jan, my period was 3rd of jan but it was a weird one like I've never had before..very light for 3 days unlike 5 days notmal period where it's heavy inbetween. Xx

wishing, ewcm can appear a week or so before you actually ovulate, which is why opks are the most scientific way of knowing when you are likely to be most fertile.

Boris, if he does get stage fright it won't be encouraging words I'm bellowing through the door

purdey tell him there is an entire community of crazy women on MN waiting for an update on his ability to produce the goods.... That should help.

So if that happened a week later that means I'm 12dpo? I don't track ovulation usually as I dnt want added stress I jus track my periods n my days app says I'm 2 days late. I'm confused now lol xx

purdey how do I go about that? I did ask the doctor who took care of my MMC at Christmas if he could find out the cause. He just said 'not to worry about it, I can have babies because I have a son' and that was the end of that. I tried to ask a different doctor the next day and was told '1 in 3 pregnancies end in MC, its just one of those things' again that was the end of that discussion.

wishing how long are your cycles normally?

Do you have regular same length cycles wishing? Ewcm is produced in advance of ov as a good environment for sperm to be kept alive. You are fertile 5 days ish before ov and maybe one day after. I don't track ov every month with opks as I'm lucky (?) enough to get 3 days of excruciating ov pain lol! And I never rely on my app to tell me when I might ov or start af as my cycles aren't the same length, ranging 25-33 days giving me 30 day average. I only use it to record symptoms (!) not when to dtd to expect af.

Hello ladies....feeling fed up here. I'm really irritable, have cramps, felt sick in the night and neck still hurts from yesterday where I must have pulled it funny and it bloody hurt!!

Anyway, congrats to Rhiannon on your bfp!

Absolutely lovely to see your scan pic Blueberry

Wishing I agree with Purdey that you have probably ovulated later than you think as to get bfn at 19dpo is rare...but not impossible

sarky sorry to hear about your decision to stop ttc. This ttc lark is tough. I think I may have had a cp in Nov/Dec cycle and I was crushed even though it was our first cycle trying but that doesn't make it any less soul destroying. When AF arrived I sobbed and sobbed uncontrollably and all DH could do was hold me. Maybe in a few days you will think differently and find the strength to keep going. Sending

sarky if you had 3 or more mc you are entitled to ask for tests hun x

Here's a screenshot of my cycle length from June to December.
I dnt even know if I'm late or not now this is so frustrating..I got a bfn 1st feb which is when I thought I was due. I've had 3 chemical pregnancies in the past..wish it was easy like some people who get pregnant without even tryin xx

wishing how frustrating. You could still be on track and AF due any day. I'd test every other day if I were you and if nothing happens in a week go and discuss your cycles with your GP?

Looks similar to mine wishing what CD are you on today? If I were you I'd wait until you reach your longest cycle to test. So if your longest was 33, test day 34? I know its hard hun. I've been ttc 2 long year's, my sister got preg by accident from a missed pill and my best friend got preg cycle 1. But no one is the same, just don't give up hope x

victoria your friend and sister sound annoying. Utterly unfair!

I'm in cd32 now. I'm already undergoing tests at the mo with the gyn..was just hoping I wouldn't have to go to the next appointment. I'm guna wait til Saturday then n that's cd36..if AF doesn't show up. I normally have sore boobs 2 weeks before AF but not had anything like that this time n im guaranteed to. Felt sick for 4 days n then the past 3 days not but yesturday felt bloated n now normal again! My body is playin mind games xx

Aw blueberry how lovely.

Congratulations rhiannon

sarky I'm so sorry you feel you can't continue. Maybe with a little time you'll feel differently. Be kind to yourself and don't rush into anything

Keeping my fingers crossed for you wishing but I agree with others you probably ov later than you thought. I know we all like to hope for the best and hang on for dear life until af actually shows up but I think pregnancy tests are generally correct if taken after a missed period. Here's hoping for a happy outcome

I am either a week or a couple of days into the tww, depending if I or ff is right about my ov day.
No symptoms of anything to report either way.......zzzZZZZ

wishing I'd say Victoria sounds very sensible! What I advise and what I actually do are different. In your position now I'd be POAS daily and then getting heartbroken and stroppy at the negative results and googling any kind of medical site I could to try to work out what the hell was going on. Be cooler than me!

Morning.

I am sorry to say that I had some spotting this morning so it looks like I have experienced a CP. Really disappointed but it is only our first cycle and we thought it could take longer.
Will still be going to see the doc tomorrow to go through things.
Feeling rather deflated.

Ye I always think oh im guna come on any minute to prepare myself but I cnt help the back of my mind thinkin well I could be pregnant! Just wana stop thinking about it n if it happens it happens but easier said than done xx

Thanks for all the advice girls xx
