Anyone else 4dpo?

[Faybelline]

Today I'm 4 days past ovulation- I think. So that makes me due AF 8th May.

I'm 27, and first month ttc #1.

Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat?

Achm, you could fake a health kick and start a caffine detox?!

What's your EDD? Will it be a March baby? FABULOUS timing for maternity leave

How bad is caffeine? How much can you have? I didnt realise it was on the NO list.

Remember that friend of mine whose wedding I'm not going to.......
Yesterday she posted on Fb saying her fiancé had gone missing
I can't imaging how awful it must be for her
He has been gone for 2 whole days now
feel bad for her

Super bad back which is getting worse and worse this week, ouch! Hotel beds aren't going to do me many favours! Had an op a couple of years ago on my spine and it's the bit where they screwed the plate in, ow, ow, ow!

chelle what cd or dpo are you at the minute?

Wow I go quiet (do you like what I did there ?) for a bit and come back to everything happening!

First a big congrats to achm don't feel guilty everyone is different you need to factor in dtd at the right time and a little bit of luck! You managed to get both! Hope you have a nice smooth pregnancy, roll on March! If it's a little bit early it will be a 29th feb baby .

Next chelle welcome to the thread with the very crazy but very lovely people on . I had my first before I was married we didn't even wait for that, granted she wasn't planned. Good luck this month, and good luck on the wedding plan we will all be here waiting for that BFP with you!

vap there is still hope for this month, and if not your next appointment must be coming up soon? Work sounds like its stressful for you at the moment which can't be helping things. Remember to look after yourself, the added maternity benefits (If you get more than statutory) are only for a few months really, but working day in day out somewhere that's not great for you is a long time! I think the Americans often have a different work ethic, as in you life to work!

lod fingers crossed you got your timing right. Now to wait.

We have decided if all goes wrong then we are going to give it a month then try again (mainly because we are going on holiday and there's no way after going through this im not drinking!)
Scan end of next week (date not yet confirmed) which we will find out for good. Had an early scan and behind for dates so it's just seeing if it grows or if that's it

Oh quiet I've got everything crossed for you! Xxx
vap I hope your back feels better soon, back pain is horrible.
I can't believe the missing groom, that's crazy news, how terrible!! Has she got any idea? Did he just not turn up at work one day or something??

I think caffeine is ok but in very small amounts, ie two cups of tea, but it's in so many things I'm cutting it out if I can. Due date would be 11th March ish, but like I say I'm trying to stay reserved til I've been to the docs. DH is being gorgeous and booking an appointment for me because I wouldn't be able to call from work without people hearing!

lod that's exactly what everyone at work thinks! I even refused biscuits!! With this belly already I need to just lose some fat and hollow it out for the baby, skin is already pre-stretched!!!

Morning
Tested again today at 12dpo.
Af due Friday
Spotting expected to start today

I'm trying to catch up on the back stories but think I'm going to have to spend some time reading the rest of the thread.
Hope you're ok quiet
I think I'm about 5dpo and AF is due in 10 days or so. AF is never normally perfectly on time. Usually a couple of days late or early

at the missing groom!! Thank goodness you didn't block her so you can find out what the chuff is going on I can't imagine how horrible and humiliating that must be for her, poor love. There's no good reason for grooms going AWOL is there

Yeah caffine isn't a nono, they just advise that you take it easy as it can stress your baby out and is linked to low birth weight but one or two is fine. I cut out diet drinks too because I didn't like the thought of the benzoate in my bloodstream. The only other thing to really avoid is excess vit A - the other 'high risk foods' are all about avoiding food poisoning and genuine FP is pretty rare these days.

And Fx that spotting doesn't start today vap I will be very sad.

Chelle to save you scrolling my back story is: 36, 1 DS (15 months, awesome, funny little dude), trying since periods returned in Jan but DH was not with the programme and we weren't DTD enough, so fresh start and we have been putting the effort in for about 2 months. Last AF was 10 freaking days late which was very exciting, but turned out it was just going on holiday that messed me up I use OPKS because I'm old and can't mess about having fun like you kids
Oh and 3dpo today so we could end up doing a synchro pee?!

quiet I will be thinking of you lots. Come and chat on here if you want to talk or vent or moan or anything you feel you cant do openly in RL x

Actually that goes for everybody x

Finally...

Get used to that.

Yes we chat a lot chelle so it may take you a while! To help out I was never earlier but lod decided to point out that my name didn't reflect me going quiet so I changed it I have 2 DDs and got my BFP coming up 5 weeks ago however as you can see from my last post not looking too great at the moment!

Thanks lod and achm don't worry about me too much though I think Ive kind of accepted its all gone wrong (although hope for the best) and focusing on the positives of getting drunk on holiday and eating what I like etc. As I know if it's all ok missing out on these won't matter but I need to convince myself that if worst comes to worse then it's ok because I can do other things if that makes sense? I suppose im lucky that it's private health care hence the random early scan as ive have no miscarriage symptoms and if it's bad news Id rather it sooner than later. Sorry for the ramble!
Also please don't let my situation worry any of you (especially you achm) as I have had two perfectly fine pregnancies and count myself very lucky! Having the two girls makes this all much easier as I can look at what i do have and be so grateful! Sorry think I just rambled too much

I completely missed the missing groom though vap maybe the bridezilla scared him away too! I do hope he's ok though and running off on someone is never good! Keep us updated I need a distraction!

quiet sounds pretty awful. I'm glad that you are enjoying your girls and taking comfort it them x

last sounds great. I'm guessing next weekend might be a good time?

I can't believe a groom would actually do that. Nothing bad has actually happened to him?

No time to read back
Update though

Spotting started like clockwork

I'm out

sorry vap

vap it will happen one day hun

vap xx

Month 22, phew! What do I need to do?

Facebook baby bomb!
Today just gets better!
Told DP we don't dtd enough!
He recalls 4 days on the trot but I know it's only 3 as I make a note. He said I was being ridiculous saying we need to dtd every day in the fertile window! Nothing else seems to be working does it!

Oh vap, I'm sorry! Maybe you could compromise on every other day, but include the day before, day of and day after ov? Would he agree to that? X

Well!
Onwards and upwards!
Sorry about the whinge!

Now to look forward to the lod and chelle testing!

never I have everything crossed for you for your scan on Friday.

No news on the missing groom. It does turn out though that he quit his job with no warning on Saturday. Didn't tell my friend. Went out on Sunday and just never came back. Didn't take anything, no clothes, no money. Phone is turned off. On reflection of the new information (him quitting his job) I'm coming round to thinking he has done a runner. Feel bad for her. He hasn't been in touch with his parents either. The wedding is supposed to be happening on 11th July. I wonder if he will just turn up on the day or be gone forever. It is quite a mystery? Maybe he has run off with someone else? You're right never it is a good distraction from other things!

achm I'm sure he will.

Appointment at hospital is Monday 20th. I, just terrified that he will just send me away again saying - just keep trying! That seems to be his favourite saying. I think that will just destroy me if he does send me away again. I think I'll just sit there and cry until he agrees to do something.

I don't really know what the next step is?

Cycle is now a regular 28 day cycle
I appear to ovulate on cd14/cd15
I have ovulated March, April. May, June this year so 4 proper cycles

Would that mean they don't give me clomid?
What else could they do?
Maybe iui?
Or just the easy option of - go away and keep trying and come back and see me in another 3 months - then the letter will arrive with an appointment for 5 months time.

Update on the runaway groom!
It appears he was just that, and did in fact run away!
He arrived at his parents home 250 + miles away from where he lives.
No answers as to what has actually happened yet!
I wonder if the wedding will still go ahead???...

Sorry, me again!

Really really sad this evening.

Doesn't help that I'm in a hotel on my own and not going home for days.
Told dp how sad I'm feeling but he doesn't seem to understand. He said I need to put it in perspective. Not sure what he means by that because on that account then nobody in the world has any excuse to be sad! ever, because there is always someone worse off than you.

Feeling very alone. I can't talk to any friends in real life, they are all either pregnant or with new babies and most are pretty judgemental about the situation as they haven't been there and don't understand what it's like. And now dp is so apathetic about the entire situation I'm just so sad.

Sorry to out such a downer on here. Especially to you achm I should be helping you celebrate.
