Sorry, x-posted with chasing... It's such a tough business, this. Messes with us all. You're not on your own. Flowers

dojo123 · 01/03/2015 14:05

Oh chasing I'm sorry you're feeling so low. Flowers Cake [hug]

auroraboringalis · 01/03/2015 14:20

Arvo gin cocktail for all of you feeling down: gin. Just that. Maybe with a cocktail umbrella. Serving vodka too, today, for you others. And brandy. Whiskey too. Kahlua, rum, Bailey's, whatevs. In fact, the gin bar is open to all sorts this afternoon so pull up an embroidered cushion or bar stool and get drinking. You're already have a looo-ooot of catching up to do!

Oh god. I don't think I can hit the gin deck today. I'm already so tired and emotional today, one glass of wine and I'll be rocking in the corner!

I was so twingey up till 4 dpo. . It must have been ovulation. So probably unknowingly missed my actual window. But now nothing. I know i felt implantation in all of my bfp's so guessing it's not this month yet again

I just feel like I've mentally come to the end of my road with this. I so deeply want another but maybe it's just not meant to be.

Just got a BFN. still no AF so will try again in a couple if she keeps away.

Fed up now.

auroraboringalis · 01/03/2015 14:45

Oh chasing I have fizzy water as well for just these sorts of days. "Not meant to be" is not a phrase allowed. "This month" is a better one. Flowers

MissMrsMummy · 01/03/2015 15:20

chasing I can totally identify with your feelings xxx

purdey so glad you got Nancy. We will look into paying for ivf like you ASAP if they find fertility issues, not waiting another year for NHS

Sparkly123 · 01/03/2015 15:25

Hi everyone! Sorry I was off radar yesterday was pretty sick and unwell. Still not feeling so good today but onwards with the AI!

Can I ask your opinion?.. CD 13, first day of static smiley face on CB (following three days of flashing smiles- high fertility) and positive IC OPK today too. We did AI, day 10, 11, 12 - all the days of flashing smiley. Would you do another today/tonight as I have peak smile or would you wait until Tomor? I am just bearing in mind I usually get two days of peak smiles in a row then ovulate a day or so after that and wondering if doing it too much, ie every day.. will reduce quality and better to leave a day in between? What do you all think?! Sorry for long post! Gonna catch up on all the pages I missed now! Hope you are all ok Grin

mrscatmad31 · 01/03/2015 15:39

Hey guys, still waiting for af (4 days late) lots of negative tests Sad
so a bit in limbo now
hoping to hear of lots of bfps on this bus!

Mumof1sofar · 01/03/2015 15:50

Chasing, I've just arrived on board so don't know your story but sounds like you're going through a tough time... Hand holding... We're all here for you Thanks

PurdeyBirdie · 01/03/2015 15:55

Dojo, I find your chart very exciting...it's triphasic! Smile

Let's, I love your chart, it has the classic sudden rise in temp between 8-10dpo that can signal implantation.

Chasing, you are understandably miserable. 19 cycles is a long, long time to wait for a BFP. Can you tell us your ttc history? Have you had a ny tests or tentative plans for assisted conception? I have an eleven-month-old baby conceived abroad using a donor egg because I am an ancient hag. She is amazing Smile

Oh, crikey, Tessie, that chart of yours has bamboozled me! I do not like being chart-discombobulated. I hope your temps have a rethink and sort thembloodyselves out.

spinningirl10 · 01/03/2015 15:57

Chasing and Missmrs, sorry to see you're feeling down and that af has arrived for you Missmrs. The end of the 2ww is shit and so emotional. You an do it ladies, one way or another you will get your babies and we're all here to share in the ups and downs Thanks

Sparkly, sorry you're not feeling well. I think I might skip today but if your dh's sperm are good then I don't think you need to worry about spacing it out.

I've just got my positive opk, it was negative at 10.30 but could tell it would be soon. Will dtd later Wink

spinningirl10 · 01/03/2015 16:01

Ooh Dojo, I had to disappear to the Google MN after purdey mentioned your triphasic chart, it's looking goodGrin

chasingtherainbow · 01/03/2015 16:13

Thank you for all the support ladies. These buses are the best. I'd been pretty frequently posting on here and ttc after mc but felt I needed to retreat for a few days, but needed to get my feelings out and knew you'd be best to listen and understand.

purdey I have 3.5 yo dd conceived first cycle when I was 19 (no judging please) husband and I decided to ttc no2 when she was coming up to her 2nd bday. The depo injection screwed me for over a year and then when I finally got pregnant I miscarried, and then had an eptopic immediately after. That was sept/Oct last year. Had to wait 3 months post methotrexate and this is first "safe" cycle to try again.

I just feel like every spare second and free corner of my mind is occupied with thoughts of ttc that it's utterly soul destroying and not enjoyable.

Rainy hi! Glad to hear you have a nice doctor to go to, it makes all the difference! I've had reflex in past, but I didn't find any benefits under than relaxation. However, I'm sure others will have more advice on it!

Boris hiya! Re dtd timing.. I think there's a lot to be said for carrying on a bit longer. Just incase! The only cycle we did that was my BFP one.. So we are def gonna go all out this time. Could be a coincidence of course but Try if you can! Flowers

coffee hope you are all feeling better and raring to go for OV!Flowers

Scrunchie so sorry for AF arrival. I thought that when we started TTC. I always thought- if it comes to a December due date I'll miss that month- I know realise how crazy that is really.. As long as I get my baby what does it really matter which month! So no stopping for us! Grin

Spinning hello lovely! Ding dong the students gone! Wooo! Are you all set to go for it this month?! Yep had it extracted on Fri so been feeling rotten! Still managing to AI though!

MrsG great weight loss! Well done!

Giddy Mmm you know what I hate peanut butter! Strange I know... But lovely recipe! Hope you enjoyed! Cake

Dojo sounds like a lovely day out! Your bread sounds Gorg.. Jealous!

night try and stay positive lovely. Men! What do they know?! Just keep focused that you will end up saying I told you say by shoving a sparkly BFP in his face!! Ha ha . Sending Flowers

mummy that looks great! Love a bit of craft,me!sorry about the car, but 2015 is most def going to be your year lovely.. BFP is a coming!

Lets woooo a march BFP!!! Great news love, congrats!!!!

Juney how you holding out? Did you get your cake?! Just saw your update as I'm cluster replying.. Sorry you are feeling Sad.. Chin up lady you are most def not out yet. Keep strong, we are all behind you!

Tessie eeek earthquake sounds scary. You ok? Sorry about the preggers announcement, it's never easy .. I think even from the beginning at cycle 1 of TTC that's hard as you just want it so desperately and that's where your focus lies that it's hard when everyone around you is preggers (especially on first try!!)

Purdita hi love! How's you and little N-Dolly? Your jalfrezi chocolate sounds awful!!! Shock

Raviolig hi! Hope you get a quick and painless BFP lovely! Flowers

Chart looks good Sammy great restraint on the poas! Fingers crossed for you!!! Grin and great you are taking the positive about your temps!

Hi Missmrs sorry you are struggling. This could be the one! And wheels in motion with tests are good to know. Sending positive vibes to you Flowers

Chasing so sorry you are feeling like that, it's so hard and you have been trying so long, but it WILL happen! Somehow and someway it WILL. We are all here for you. Sending positivity Flowers

Sparkly123 · 01/03/2015 16:35

Mumof1sofar · 01/03/2015 16:42

Good luck mrscat! 4 days late sounds promising Smile

Sparkly123 · 01/03/2015 16:44

mrscat fingers crossed for you!

mrscatmad31 · 01/03/2015 16:55

Thank you, even with the negative tests? had some bad news on Wednesday which could account for it being late but was already late then anyway. would be so good if I was, need some good news but not getting my hopes up

nightandthelight · 01/03/2015 16:57

I genuinely think that you might be the nicest person ever to have been born Sparkly your posts are always so positive and caring :). Thank you!

Sparkly123 · 01/03/2015 17:05

night are you actually joking?! That's so sweet of you to say Daffodil but honestly everyone is the same here in my book! You are all wonderful! Flowers

nightandthelight · 01/03/2015 17:09

Of course I'm not joking Sparkly :) you are right though, everyone I have 'met' on here has been so lovely and so many incredibly strong women!

tessiegirl · 01/03/2015 17:10

Thanks for taking a look at my chart though Purdey Strange, isn't it? Never had this before. The only thing I can think of is my sleep has been pretty unsettled as DH hasn't been sleeping well and keeps waking me up, albeit only a few minutes then I think I go back to sleep but maybe I don't fully? Shall wait and see....unless I just haven't ovulated....but the pain and EWCM I had tells me otherwise Sad

Ah daffodils....Daffodil Spring is coming!!

spinningirl10 · 01/03/2015 17:13

Chasing, no judging here but nowt wrong with a baby at 19Grin

Sparkly, we're doing quite well so farSmile dtd yesterday twice, probably not the best for dp's crap sperm but we were having a lazy day after drinking Friday night and making the most of an empty houseWink and also dtd the day before. Will get another in later and tomorrow and see if we can also manage Tuesday!
Wow, you're doing really well with the AI especially after having your tooth out!!
