New thread!

Shall we start with some stats?
I'm 32, TTC since last Jan, 2x MMC last year and on second cycle of trying again.

Been quite busy, lots to catch up on!

MrsC better safe than sorry, I'm glad you have decided to wait and taking things slowly. Stay strong Flowers

MrsD what a lovely post. I've never thought of a new pregnancy like this Easter Smile

Bristolian I'm only guessing I'm xx dpo. I don't use sticks or charting, just going by cm. My longest ever cycle was 30 days, which means AF would be due Monday week. So yes, it looks like we are cycle buddies! But I want to wait another couple days jic and POAS on Wed the 15th if nothing by then. Unless I get VERY convincing symptoms Oh and enjoy your hols!

madgie I'm keeping everything crossed for you, I will second waiting till you're late!

My dizziness turned out to be some weird bug that shot up my temperature and sent me chills and aches Confused It has passed but today I have horrible sore throat. DS had projectile vomit. He's ok now and asleep. My face erupted in spots and I'm feeling very bloated. So maybe I'm further from ovulation than I thought and AF is around the corner. Who knows. Feeling down and sorry of myself today, despite having a nice afternoon (before DS started puking). I better go find some chocolate... Easter Sad

madgiebean · 05/04/2015 22:17

Thanks carrot sorry to hear your unwell. Sounds like all the easter eggs have caught up with you DS?? Oh how I wish I was a child again eating my own body weight in chocolate! (Not that I don't do that now...) hope you feel better soon.

I checked my calander where ive noted what cycle day im on and AF should have been due yesterday so I'm officially a day late which is good news. However i do feel like it's about to arrive at any time but I know with my previous pregnancy I thought the same thing so im trying to remain optimistic. I'm going to try and hold out testing til Tuesday though since i don't have any tests and with tomorrow being a bank holiday I doubt I'll get one before shops shut. Praying AF doesn't come Sad

brickiemum2 · 06/04/2015 04:36

That sounds encouraging madgie if I were you if be out to the shop first thing in the morning having peed in a cup to keep fmu lol.
red I think I might poas on Tuesday with a frer. I've still no idea if I ovulated or not so I can't judge it from that. Tuesday will be CD 27 so it would normally be 13 dpo for me had I ovulated
Zero preg symptoms though so I'm not hopeful. I can normally tell by now.

mrsdiddlydoo · 06/04/2015 08:09

Madgie sounds promising. Here's hoping its your month! You deserve it after the effort put in.
Sounds like a few of us are hoping for good news this week or next.
carrot hope you are feeling a little more human.

Well I have zero symptoms. My first month on progesterone since day 20. AF is due on Thursday so I will test then to find out if I need to keep taking it or should stop. Feel under the weather which I'm guessing is due to the green nosed snotty Ds. Really wanted it to be our month. I'm so fed up of this ttc malarky sometimes. I know I'm not out yet. Good luck if you test tomo brickie

Yokyil · 06/04/2015 09:00

Good luck brickie and madgie sounds promising fx!!!! Grin still another 4 more days of AF before I can do anything....this part is boring Hmm lol. mrsdiddly hope you feel better soon Flowers you POAS on Thursday?

MrsConfusion · 06/04/2015 10:55

AF arrived, I think, one day short of 4 weeks after ectopic op.

Easter loves to everyone Easter Smile

Yokyil · 06/04/2015 11:10

MrsC glad it's arrived and hope you're feeling okay Flowers

brickiemum2 · 06/04/2015 16:38

Hope you're ok Mrsc

I did a silly silly thing. I peed on an ic in a moment of weakness. Arctic white. Not a sniff of a hint of a line. Why the fuck did I do that? CD26 and think I'm out for sure this month. Cramping and grouchy and feel the tide of doom on the horizon Sad

madgiebean · 06/04/2015 16:43

Thanks ladies!
Good luck Brickie and MrsD

No AF for me yet so technically two days late.. Feeling very hopeful!
On the train home today my button popped off my jeans and went rolling down the aisle of the train so I'm hoping a BFP could justify that rather than the endless amount of chocolate and Chinese food ive been eating!
Not sure where this willpower has come from I'd usually have peed on at least 8 sticks by now..
I'm going to buy a clear blue digital later today or tomorrow so I shall wait and see Smile

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/04/2015 08:20

madgie ooo you're getting me excited. Sounds really promising!

mrsC must be some reassurance to be found in your body still working? Hope so anyway. And that you've had a nice weekend.

Oh brickie you're still not out until she shows up. I'm full of cold and ache everywhere. Still nothing symptom wise. Not holding out much hope.

A dear friend told me she was 6 wks yesterday. Same one has had an ectopic and mc in the last year. She said she is feeling positive. Its funny who you can be happy for and who drives you crazy with baby bombs. And blumming dsil still hasn't popped so is over a week overdue. If I had been early our babies would have been weeks apart. Grr...

brickiemum2 · 07/04/2015 09:44

Thanks madgie Tell me you have poas, I'm about peeing my pants in excitement lol.
Hugs mrsd my sil is also heavily pregnant and I want to be all hyper excited about it. But I'm not, not fully, I'm just gutted I'm not Envy
CD27 and another pearly white bfn this morning. Cramps are strong enough now they are making me miserable, I don't normally get pains before af and I'm never this sore even during it

kep1979 · 07/04/2015 11:58

Hi all,

I hope everyone is OK. I was so relaxed when we were away, and then arriving back last night it was like a ton of stress bricks landed on my shoulders Sad

POAS this morning - no idea if I even ovulated so was pretty futile. My bleary eyes thought they saw something so I cracked open a FRER - BFN. Now feel worse than before. Do line eyes get worse post-miscarriage i was bad enough already

Zero symptoms, apart from being quite gassy - boobs don't hurt at all. My skin is v spotty, but usually get around ov and then pre-AF (as well as when I was pg) so no help at all!

If I did ovulate when my cm was ew/watery then I'd be 10dpo today I think, which is when i got my BFP last time. Not feeling very hopeful - I think I just so desperately want to get a BFP immediately that I'm going to be absolutely gutted when AF arrives. And I need to be prepared - with lots of wine, cake and chocolate. So this weekend most probably.

madgiebean · 07/04/2015 12:24

Hugs mrsD Flowers 2 school friends of mine are pregnant and due the same time I would have been, one having a boy and one having a girl. Both first babies. As happy as I am for them im green with envy!
Brickie I hope that isn't ad showing up, perhaps test again in a few days?
Hugs kep I wish there was a significant change in us a few days after ov so we know whether we're pregnant or not. Like we turn a different colour or grow an extra toe maybe? Anything to spare us from the dreaded tww and symptom spotting. Good luck though, hopefully af won't make an appearance.

AF hasn't showed up yet, I was supposed to get my clear blue digital today but my boobs are no longer sore and ive been getting some cramps so im feeling really disheartened at the minute. I'm terrified of the words 'not pregnant' (hate how blunt it is) but it saves me imagining any lines.
I'm going to pull myself together and get a test soon though so im planning on holding my wee in for a good few hours. The only things keeping me hopeful is that I think I had an implantation bleed; it'd be too early for symptoms like nausea and im absolutely nackered despite a long nights sleep!
Someone please order me to poas and stop being so scared...

madgiebean · 07/04/2015 12:34

I'm meeting one of my best friends in town today, so I may do a test while I'm out before I see her.. That way if it's negative I can enjoy a few cocktails.. I don't think I could concentrate on anything if ive got the test and not peed on it

Romeolovesjuliet · 07/04/2015 13:12

madgie it's still looking good for you. You have amazing willpower to have lasted this long without testing! brickie I had lots of pains in my last cycle (first after mmc) - far worse than usual. This cycle they seem to have calmed down (so far) so maybe it's just your body still doing a bit of settling down.
Hope everyone else is having a good day - beautiful sunshine here (I see from my office window, not getting to enjoy it!).

CarrotPuff · 07/04/2015 13:26

brickie when is AF due for you? Stay away from the sticks, you are not doing yourself any favours!

madgie what do you think you are doing, woman! Go pee on that stick already!

brickiemum2 · 07/04/2015 13:38

Af is due either today, tomorrow or Thursday. I was always regular at 28 days but last cycle was 26 after mc. It was an ic I used but they picked up minute amounts of hcg for the three weeks after surgery so I felt they were quite sensitive. It's not really cramps in getting as such but more a sharp pain, build up of pressure and then my back feels like it's going to break.

madgie you'd better have bought that test already!

MissMrsMummy · 07/04/2015 13:40

madgie POAS! We are all rooting for you! Fx!

mrsdiddly can you pls tell me more about your progesterone? How did you get it? How are you taking it? Did you have a short LP?

brickie could it still be too early? How many dpo are you and when is AF due?

I am cd10 and my m/c bleeding has stopped, replaced by a lot of ewcm! Maybe I am going to ov earlier than usual (which would probably be a blessing, given my short LP) or it could be the cough medicine I'm taking and EPO! I have always struggled with ewcm so I'm pleased to have it now.

Hope you're all ok x

MissMrsMummy · 07/04/2015 13:41

Cross post brickie I'd say it's still early for you! Keeping my fx for you x

kep1979 · 07/04/2015 14:05

madgie POAS immediately!!!!!!!!

mrsd I have the same question as missmrs about progesterone

missmrs glad the bleeding has stopped - I was the same with cm too - loads of it. I suspect I ovulated in the week after the bleeding stopped, so go have some fun if you are trying again Wink

redredwine4 · 07/04/2015 14:09

'Testing times' indeed for a lot of people on here! Good LUCK to you all. I am determined to wait until next Monday.....

brickiemum2 · 07/04/2015 15:16

I went back and had a look at my test from earlier and there is something there...probably a bloody evap but now it's got me wondering. My camera on my phone sucks big time and can only focus from about 10 inches away so I tried negative. Don't know if you can see it Hmm Worth a frer?
