Last bit should be struck through.

LadyStark · 20/02/2015 07:46

I actually did the FRER last night, I couldn't wait. Definitely a line!

Thanks for all the help/advice - I was completely clueless before this thread Flowers

Hi mrscatmad sounds promising
fX Paddington

And madsive congrats, another BFP nice and strong :)

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 08:44

Don't know if its the same for you guys, but since we started trying, its like the while world is suddenly pregnant. Maybe I'm just noticing it more....

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/02/2015 08:45

AF arrived this morning Sad a day and a half late! Ah well, next month Smile

PurdeyBirdie · 20/02/2015 08:47

I absolutely loved rubbing my bump. Not sure whether or not I would've stopped doing that if I worked in a an office and had to consider whether, just maybe, I was working with subfertile women. I was one of those subfertiles (because I was old) and I had also suffered a mmc at eleven weeks so I doubt I would've stopped rubbing. It was the most magical and wondrous and perfect time of my life pregnancy. I adored that bump. Rubbing it was a lifetime achievement and dream and fantasy all rolled into one. I was one of those irritants who simply stood in supermarket aisles looking vacant and swaying whilst rubbing my massive bump

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 08:52

Oooh. Congrats lady.

Hope you are ok knit. Feeling I'm not far behind. Got spotting this morning Sad

Onwards....

Giddymamma · 20/02/2015 08:58

I'm with you purdeybird. I loved my bump so much, couldn't keep my hands off it. Kept stroking it for days after ds was born, kept forgetting! I hope all you ladies get your own bumps very very soon. Xx

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/02/2015 09:00

aww babs it's shite isn't it Sad fx for you

The worst thing for me is poor DH's disappointed face while he's trying to be all strong and comforting for me - it absolutely breaks my heart.

Oh well, onwards, upwards, etc Smile I;m going to order some ovulation strips for next month - never used them before, any tips? Do you use them in the morning like a preg test?

eskimolaura · 20/02/2015 09:06

Morning all. Saved up all my wee inside me for an extra hour this morning, til it hurt and tested and got a BFN. Boo. Just have to sit tight until AF arrives now. Hope the March bus is comfy.

Sorry knit and Babs. Got more cramps today. CD29 for me too Paddington.

Does anyone have the MyDays app? I got it last month, and it's calculated the first day of my period for today, based on my withdrawal bleed, but obviously AF hasn't arrived yet. How do I get rid of the period info? I can't add it to tomorrow, as you can't enter any information for future dates. Help!

Nomio230 · 20/02/2015 09:09

Morning all.

Sorry af has arrived, knit. It is horrible when you have had your hopes raised like that.

10dpo for me. Temp drop & slight brown when I wipe. I am trying to tell myself it is implantation, but I don't believe me!

PurdeyBirdie · 20/02/2015 09:10

eskimo, 'ow 'orrible not knowing when you're due. Some folks have a completely normal 28-dayer straight after coming off the pill so you may not have long to wait to see if you're preggo Smile

I'm still catching up so sorry for cluster posting. I announced my pregnancy on fb the day I got my BFP at 12dpo, but all my facebookers knew we had flown abroad for donor egg IVF and everyone was rooting for us massively. It was ace Smile

PurdeyBirdie · 20/02/2015 09:16

Crossed posts. Sorry for BFN, eskimo Sad

Knit, I cannot believe it. What about that line? Have you had a chemical?

Nomio, if AF arrives today will you tell your consultant about your short LPs?

tootsroots · 20/02/2015 09:16

Um. I am in a tizz. Really. Cd52 potentially 9 dpo on ff and an opk . Massive irregular cycles only 4 since August ... Off sick today as massive cold and so tired I couldn't explain ... Sorting a drawer looking for Lemsip ... As I cannot be pregnant given dtd twice but a couple of days before a +ve opk plus Dr doesn't think I am truly ov with my epic cycles . Had a random thought I should test for fun as I found my last FRER in the drawer..... So got this..... Thoughts? Under the torch it could be a line .... Maybe....... Help!

Nomio230 · 20/02/2015 09:21

Sorry, toots, can't see as I am on my phone (in classShock), but I am sure someone will help.

Purdey, yes I am going to mention my shirt lp. I never even realised it was a problem until recently. It is normally 12 days, which is a bit better. I am on B6 now to try & help it.

Eskimo, boooo for bfn. I had a good feeling about you, but guess I was wrong. Hmm

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 09:24

nomio and Paddington keep fx for you guys!

(auto correct wants to change nomio to minions!)

Purdey, I would have been shouting it from the rooftops if I was you!

Right so if this really is af starting, I'm out for March bus too Sad

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 09:26

Knit....It's total pants (not the sexy ones, the grey overwashed ones that used to be white and have no elastic left)

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/02/2015 09:26

purdey I think I may have - that was definitely a blue line (I took the test apart!) and my period has never been late like this before. I'm also having hellish period cramps, which is unusual for me.

In a way I almost hope it was a chemical (strange as that sounds!) because at least that would mean I can GET pregnant, which is a start Smile

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 09:27

Knit so sorry to hear that x

Hairstylisttoboris · 20/02/2015 09:29

knit sorry for AF Flowers
eskimo I used to use my days, I can't for the life of me whenever how it worked tho. But it was a nightmare. I switched to Ovia in frustration which I am much happier with. If i temp'ed I'd use FF tho.

toots I can't tell - sorry. There could be something there. Can you gang on till tomorrow and test again with a frer and fmu? Big hug to you, how confusing.

spinningirl10 · 20/02/2015 09:31

Oh knit, I'm sorry af's arrived, especially after the hope from the line yesterday Thanks

I'm another one who loved being pregnant and bump stroking. I was very lucky not to suffer from and sickness. It must be a different story when you have a difficult pregnancy.

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/02/2015 09:32

babs that made me laugh for the first time today - thank you Flowers

babsbunny · 20/02/2015 09:33

Smile hope you are ok x

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/02/2015 09:34

I have a plan of action people - I like a plan of action! Smile

I'm getting some OV tests strips and DH is going to go to the docs to ask about a sperm check as he's just reminded me that he had mumps as a kid Sad - I'm hoping that means he can get tested sooner rather than later considering mumps can cause problems in the trouser department.

At least then we'd know that if I'm ovulating and his sperm if fine, its 9probably) just a matter of carry on shagging and fx Grin plu we are 27 and 29 so young enough (hopefully) to have time to fix any problems.
