Do you love being elbow deep in your cervix? Can you tell your cream from your egg? No, we're not talking Cadbury, we're talking vadge juice. Come and join the fingering fillies on our flight of fecundity (see what I did there?).

Mine always are Purdey so I'm used to it. I think it prob is from last cycle too. We have our first app Tomor at the fertility clinic so gonna have to make that list tonight and really think about what we are gonna say.

PaddingtonFromPeru · 16/02/2015 15:43

Really excited because my BBT thermometer is here, though slightly annoyed it has a low battery already Angry. Looking forward to creating beautiful charts like the rest of you.

Also slightly hoping that having spent all this money, I will not get AF on Thursday, but a BFP instead. No signs of a BFP though Sad

juneybean · 16/02/2015 15:45

oh that's a bit useless paddington ! mines survived being watered and everything, bought it about 3 years ago and it's never asked for a battery!

spinningirl10 · 16/02/2015 15:48

Purdey, that was my first thought on sparkles black stuff!

Haha Juney, it's a daft story really. I always eat really healthily but I love cakeSmile dp was working all day and night on valentines but said he'd take me to my fav cake shop for a piece of cake. It didn't happen because by the time he was available they'd shut. I said it didn't matter and we could go yesterday. But he forgot yesterday and when I reminded him he said he was too busy to take me. I admit that I was pissed off, I blame the hormones! Anyway all is good nowGrin

And yes we have a german student with us, he's been here since End August and he goes in about 10days so we're taking him out. We also had a house full of students all summer so I'm looking forward to having our space backSmile

Bloody hell, that was long, bet you wish you'd never asked!!

loopylou1984 · 16/02/2015 15:50

Knit - I'm with you there, think I was having a moment last night too. Feeling much happier today, just looking forward to seeing dh tonight for cuddles (and to check he's ok).

I don't really want to stop trying, but might be a bit more relaxed about it and drop the temping etc. will kick myself if I get a long cycle with no bfp again though! Xx

spinningirl10 · 16/02/2015 15:50

Sorry Sparkly, you probably wondered what an earth i was talking about earlier then when i mentioned your temp Smile

spinningirl10 · 16/02/2015 15:54

Haha Juney, just re-read your comment ref student!!! He's 17 and gives me the creeps, he tiptoes round the house and frightens the life out of meGrin

Quietlyhopeful81 · 16/02/2015 15:57

It was me with the temp drop below my coverline despite feeling like I was inside a volcano, spinning Smile

juneybean · 16/02/2015 15:58

Grin oh dear! thought you and your husband had some sort of sex slave thing going on

mummyofonesofar · 16/02/2015 16:05

I have had awful wind and blaoting the last 3days. I haven't eaten anything different so can't understand it. Wish I hadn't come to work in this dress as with my bloating, sitting at my desk in it is squeezing all the wind around and making me very uncomfortable. Can't wait t get straight into my pjs as soon as I get home.

Sorry everyone who is feeling shitty, I am only just joining the ttc game but we have already had rows over it at home and can see how even 3 months could take its toll, let alone 12 or 20+ months so I really admire you ladies for being so strong most of the time. I think we all need a blow out every now again and it isn't frowned upon here. Cake for all x

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 16:17

No worries Spinning yeh it prob is that. But since that this morning there's been nothing again! So frustrating! So much pain but no blood Angry never wanted AF to hurry up so much in my life!! Especially seen as upon reading the fertility clinic leaflet just now before Tomors app, it states I will be having a lovely dildo cam.. Blush
Your disagreement over cake sounds very much like a hormonal thing that me and my dh would go in a huff about too! Glad all is sorted now! Your student sounds a right old treat creeping about! Ha ha

Paddington yey for beautiful charts. Not so ideal that you have to insert new batts already?!?

Aaargh! I had missed a whole page when I last posted! Sparkly, you are pregnant, damnit! I see it clearly, the pink stripe! Oh my goodness!! PLEASE let this be it ThanksThanks

OMG, Sparkly, I just saw your photo! There is definitely a pink line there!

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 16:29

Oh girls I want to listen to you but honestly in the real light of day it looks like an evap honestly. Honestly honestly. No pink! Plus I've had some red blood remember. All this black stuff and AF cramps as per normal so it's virtually impossible??

Fecking German tip-toeing students? Get rid of the creepy Kraut

Juney, how're you doing? I'm better, thanks for asking. How do you feel now the vials are in? I'm not clear on whether you've lobbed the second gang up. I do hope this ends in a magical bfp for you, sweetheart.

Any man who denied me cake with his imbecilic forgetfulness would be down the f***g road pronto.

Please...IVF-ers...don't leave the buses Sad

I'm a bit crampy but I guess that's any prostaglandins that snuck in. I did insem at 2.30am and 12.30pm. Feels a bit surreal again, I hope I don't become obsessive in my 2ww! -squishes you- you've been so amazingly helpful, so glad of this thread to hold my hand.

Nomio230 · 16/02/2015 16:42

Could you go get a frer Sparkles? It definitely looks good in that picture, but you know your own body. I really hope this is your month though. Flowers

purdeybirdie · 16/02/2015 16:42

So black stuff is normal for you, Sparkly? Good grief, I really am struggling to advise/keep your spirits up. Those temps are not indicative of AF being imminent and we know red/brown or just red blood with pretty severe cramps can also be an embryo settling in. I can't make any judgements any more with your puzzling emissions! I don't believe we are mistaken in seeing that line as pink though......are we, girls??

One thing is for sure..I am so glad you are seeig a fertility specialist tomorrow. I would love to know what he says about black blood every month plus painful periods plus outrageous spotting up to a week beforehand.

mrsb0710 · 16/02/2015 16:43

sparkly what if you took another test? Or maybe they can test tomorrow?? I hope its your bfp, but if not, then I know you will get some answers and it will all fall into place.

I too have more than enormous respect for those who have been ttc for many months. I'm already worried it will start affecting DH and I,and we haven't been trying long.

I think my eldest sister took 7 years to get my gorgeous nephews. Growing up makes you appreciate people's journeys so much more.

Giddymamma · 16/02/2015 16:44

Too cute juney! Fingers crossed.

Carpet update - the lovely man at the carpet shop today just happened to drop into conversation that his wife was away this weekend. That must be an offer, right? I've still got it ladies! Grin

juneybean · 16/02/2015 16:45

Hahaha! Good lord I need carpets maybe I could pay in sexual favours

Giddymamma · 16/02/2015 16:57

I could pay him for you juney. You know. Just to help you out. Grin

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 16:59

Juney we are def all rooting for you holding your hand here love!!! I'm sure you will proper chilled out all TWW.. Like we all are... Hmm

Purdey ha ha I know. I'm a complex character me! No to black stuff every month. I just meant this is how I feel with AF- the pelvic pain weakness etc. The new additions are this back cramping pain and upper stomach pain plus the black stuff. Just went to the loo and now have red blood when wiping and in toilet.. So that would appear to be start of AF. I just thought it was impossible to have red blood and still be pregs?

Nomio I have an frer I could try, or another internet cheapie. The reason I haven't done either is because there's been red blood and because I'm not at home as stayed at mums last night due to the work at our house this am.however husband collecting me soon to go back so I'll be getting out of bed. I just don't want to waste test for no reason!

I'm sorry I'm such a riot! You must all be sick of my confusing nonsense!! Ok so I'll ask all those questions tomorrow re spotting/pain etc. Any other advice or questions I should ask? The main reason I'm going is regarding the spotting pre AF.. Wondering if I should have my progesterone monitored after day 21 as this is when spotting starts?? Do you think I should take my charts too?

Thanks Mrsb Flowers

Giddy that was most def an offer! Why don't you get involved here Juney?

Sorry for longest ever post!!!

spinningirl10 · 16/02/2015 17:00

Haha this bus does make laugh! Yes student is off early. Meant to be with us until July but had enough so he's moving onSmile he came into my bedroom one night when I was naked Shocklucky I was in bed and covered up!! Dp was at work and I had told him I was going to bed......he was looking for his phone?!!

Sparkly, I really do think that's a line, a real one, go pee on another oneGrin

PaddingtonFromPeru · 16/02/2015 17:12

Thanks juney and sparkly. One of the Amazon reviews did say they had a low batt too, but the others were good.

FF sending me their tutorials. Needs physics degree to interpret. Looks very straightforward!
