Romeo I'm 11 days post operation and I'm still getting a fairly strong bfp with fmu. It's fainter if I do it at night obviously. I called epau this morning as I still feel crampy etc and I'm going in tomorrow morning for a scan and blood test. Just call them if you don't feel right.

Amyyy27 · 23/02/2015 11:17

Chasing theres still definitely a chance. Could you maybe try sending a very flirty dirty text or 2 to get his mind running? Blush or even dtd tomorrow morning might still catch it? Fx for you x

TeenieDeenie · 23/02/2015 12:36

Totally understand the having to trick him Chasing It can get a bit like that at times when ttc. It's just so frustrating when you know you are about to ov, although does a positive test not happen just before ov? I reckon tomorrow morning you'd still be in with a shot? Lol, love the dirty text idea Amy, the things we have to do!!!

Romeolovesjuliet · 23/02/2015 13:02

Thanks brickie' it will be 5 wks on Friday since I had the medical mgt and they told me to test then and call if still pos. I have had several follow up scans and they discharged me as there was only a tiny clot left that they said would come on its own, maybe in next period. I didn't expect to still be bleeding now but they said it can take ages if you don't have the surgery so I'm not worried per se but would really like it all to be over. Will try and wait and see how things are on Friday.

Romeolovesjuliet · 23/02/2015 13:03

I reckon you're still in with a shot chasing, I always think it's best to 'front lad' pre ov as it were!

Romeolovesjuliet · 23/02/2015 13:40

Front load not lad!

Amyyy27 · 23/02/2015 15:02

Men ey!

romeo if its any help although my bleeding stopped after a week and a half it took exactly 5 weeks to the day for my BFN after medical management. Hope you get yours soon its a shit time of being stuck in limbo x

MsJupiter · 23/02/2015 15:53

Like an idiot, did a pg test this morning and of course it was bfn. I don't really know why I bothered. So that cheered up my day.

Also saw my sister and had a sudden fear she was going to say she was pregnant, which made me realise how difficult I will find it if that happens. Selfish I know.

Chasing I know how you feel, it can be very hard to get past that weirdness. Your DH does need to get past it though. Maybe talk to him at a neutral time so he understands that even if it's obvious why you're propositioning him, he should put it out of his mind otherwise you could lose a month's ttc.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 23/02/2015 16:42

Chasing I think a positive opk means you should ovulate about 12-36 hours later. Given that egg survives about 12-24 hours, you'll probably be in with a good chance if you get down to it tomorrow.
I tend to get on with seduction and if asked if it's because I'm ovulating I make sure he is aware that I feel more frisky at that time of the month. I make sure I go for a seduction a couple of times a week for the rest of the month too.

So confused by my cycle this month. Should have ovulated on Saturday. A week of ewcm, positive opk on Friday. No idea if I actually ovulated though.
I'm admitted with myself for even tracking. I didn't with previous two pregnancies and got pg really quickly. Am I sabotaging it by stressing?

So sorry chasing Sad it's so hard

Guy that's a good tip about mentioning that ovulation makes us more likely to be in the mood!

Romeolovesjuliet · 23/02/2015 18:51

Sorry chasing, it's so hard.
I had a complete meltdown when DH told me some friends of ours are expecting their second. I feel awful as we already have 2 and I know they tried for a long, long time for their first so the fact it has happened for them this time is great. But her due is within a month of when mine was and it really hit home so I sobbed and sobbed.
It WILL be your turn very soon Flowers.

chasingtherainbow · 23/02/2015 18:55

I am so so happy for them truly. They are lovely people. I just want to be sharing that excitement with her you know? I want to be excitedly talking about being on mat leave together etc. But I just feel like this sad story that can't seem to even carry her own baby or get pregnant

HeavenKnowsImNotSoMiserable · 23/02/2015 20:05

Hey ladies, really sorry if this is old news to everyone but I've recently I discovered something that I thought was worth sharing.

After getting used to the idea of being preggers I logged into NCT to put in my new due date and got baby bombed by my own MMC, being reminded that I would have been 4 weeks away from my original due date and what I should put in my hospital bag Sad. The same happened on the babycentre. I cancelled all the emails but didn't think to delete my EDD.

It was really weird one minute being happy that I'd got that second blue line, and then being taken straight back to the moment when I lost my baby.

Hope this helps someone else avoid a tripping over their own babybomb Grin

Thanks for the warning heaven

EDD of mc1 today. I'm not pregnant, and in fact body feels more broken than ever - super short cycle this month and today heavy brown spotting all day on CD6. It takes me straight back to being disgusted with my body and feeling so grief-filled and angry and scared and confused. I know this will pass, but tonight it's just really hard. I wanted that baby so much, we both did, and she was taken from us. I keep thinking back to the scan and reliving it all. So raw.

I've lit a candle next to my bed. It's all I can do.

MrsConfusion · 23/02/2015 23:25

CD12, not 6 - can't count! Blush no wonder I've no clue about ovulation

chasingtherainbow · 23/02/2015 23:41

Mrs confusion. I know those feelings so well. Please take my virtual hug and SmileBrew xxxxx

Gr33dyeggs · 24/02/2015 07:05

Hugs MrsC I hope you managed to sleep and aren't feeling as low. I think we can all understand the failing body thoughts.

I too found out about 2 more pregnancies at work yesterday. Tbh I wasn't that affected - just disbelief people tell so soon and wondered (foolishly) whether thats how you make them stick - tell everyone then it has to stay......

MsJupiter · 24/02/2015 07:30

MrsC Thanks

brickiemum2 · 24/02/2015 07:37

More Flowers MrsC.

Metalhead · 24/02/2015 07:47

EDDs are shit MrsC. Hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Good luck for today sebs, I'm thinking of you. x
