Well done on all the promotions, thread husbands

sammy you should always accept compliments with grace and thanks...but I think we'd all be a bit Confused

Ugh, the election coverage... or lack there of because I need FACTS PEOPLE! I've been so spoiled in Canada. By 10pm at the latest (on the West Coast, that is), we knew who had won. But here I have to wait... and wait... and WAIT for the next morning.

Is anyone planning on staying up all night to watch the coverage? At the very least it will distract from the tww manic symptom watching.

Hi everyone shy wave.
I'm 12dpo after a very early miscarriage over Easter. Didn't wait for AF before TTC again (oops).
Got a positive OPK so know I've ovulated, hopefully it's a sign that
my body is recovering from the mc. Have had sore boobs which I never get, and a bit of upset tum but no other symptoms (poss disguised by hideous cold and sinuses).
Haven't bought a pg test yet, got my BFP v early last time followed by bleeding and BFN ?? so don't want to test too early again.
EPU said it could take 6 weeks for AF to arrive after mc, but as I've ov'd already am hoping this isn't the case.
Just wanted to join in really and chat, feeling a bit meh about it all and badly want a BFP. I know that if I but pg tests I'll start obsessing!!

parsnipbob · 07/05/2015 21:09

welcome morecake, sorry to hear about your MC. Fx for this cycle!

Mumof1sofar · 07/05/2015 21:25

Welcome morecake. Sorry for your loss.

Parsnip I'm guessing I'm about 2dpo too so once again it looks like we're cycle buddies! Smile Are you feeling hopeful this cycle? I don't think it's my month.

birchygoo · 07/05/2015 21:30

sri to hear about your mc morecake

curious....do we have stats for this page as I've seen on others?

parsnipbob · 07/05/2015 21:30

Oooh yay mum, cycle buddies again :)

I don't feel hugely hopeful no as DP has been away for work so I don't think we've timed BD very well. In a way that's quite good as it means I won't be too disappointed if no BFP. Any reason you don't feel it's your month?

Anyone seen MissMartin lately?

wishiwaspregnant · 07/05/2015 21:34

I'm 3dpo any cycle buddies out there? I guess mum and parsnip we are pretty much cycle buddies!! How many dpo will you both test? Or will you wait until AF is late? I'm going to try (try) not to test until at least 12dpo this time!

birchygoo · 07/05/2015 21:36

thanks night!! I will do.

Brooke113 · 07/05/2015 21:39

I don't know for sure when and if I have ov'd this cycle. I had my smiley face Monday, and tons of cramping pains, which I thought were ov pains, but I've had cramps everyday since too, and negative opk yesterday and today. So if I did ov, it was Monday or Tuesday x

birchygoo · 07/05/2015 21:43

I found it! thanks night and I am on it Grin Grin Grin when you next update it I am not sure if you want to add in my info. age 30. its my 1st cycle on here but actually 6th cycle of trying. 6 months before that of not trying not preventing.

I folded to my will power this !morning and tested and got a bfn Sad AF not here yet - due 9th but getting lots of cramps. doesn't look like may was my lucky month in that respect. I did however have good news on 21 d test which I talked about last night. so got to hold onto that.

Sorry for BFN :( could still be too early though.

OP posts:
parsnipbob · 07/05/2015 21:52

wish I'm going to try my level best to actually wait til AF is due this time. My LP is only 12 days however so not that long to wait in my case.

birch sorry for BFN but could still be too early...

birchygoo · 07/05/2015 21:57

parsnip and night would be soo nice if it was to early but I'm not holding out lots of hope anymore. I said to dh its like mother nature is laughing saying you want be pregnant I'll give you the worst cramps you've ever had grrrr wrapped up in sofa with blanket but I don't want to take painkillers because of that small bit of me that wants to hold onto hope

Woolly84 · 07/05/2015 22:02

Evening all! How are we all?

Yayy for the promotions!! Fab news.

sammy read your update on the other thread earlier but yay again!! I'm so glad things are properly moving for you now Smile

Welcome morecake! Sorry to hear about your mc, hopefully you get a BFP again very soon!

birchy sorry for the BFN, I hope it's just too early. Good news about the day 21 test though.

Sorry for any updates I've missed - hope everyone else is ok!

CD11 here today and had a flashing smiley this morning. We dtd last night, skipping tonight as trying to do EOD until we hit a peak result, then daily for a few days. Hoping I get to see a temp rise! (First month temping)

DizzyMerry · 08/05/2015 00:06

Welcome morecake. Sorry for your loss. Fx for this cycle.

Sorry for BFN birchy but like the others I hope it's too early.

Yay for upcoming ov woolly just wait until you see it on your chart. I'm sure you'll be as excited as I was!!!

I've been looking out for miis too. Hope she's back on here soon.

How are all the grads doing?

DizzyMerry · 08/05/2015 00:10

I've had a busy evening as DB was on a night shift and DSis on her course so I was busy with the kids at DB's house. Didn't get home until 11.30 but thankfully DH took DD at 8.30 and got her to bed. Our routines are all over the place but given the situation I don't suppose it makes much of a difference in the grand scheme of things and SIL is back next week so not long to go.

coffeenut · 08/05/2015 00:18

birchy you can have paracetamol Flowers
sorry for af night Sad
sammy pleased to hear that - great news re both ivf options and good lookin' tubes.
go woolly go!

coffeenut · 08/05/2015 00:19

dizzy you're a Star

thundernlightning · 08/05/2015 01:49

Aww, birchy sorry to hear about the cramps Sad.

I've been so busy I haven't been able to keep up on the thread so am going to go catch up! But first, I hope everybody's doing all right.

Did a test yesterday that was neg. My cycle's a little irregular, but no AF yet so still holding out hope.

ZippyBoo · 08/05/2015 08:01

Still no AF. somewhere between 13 and 15 days late now. I'm starting to accept the BFN.

CarrotVan · 08/05/2015 08:08

birchy paracetamol is fine throughout pregnancy. Aspirin is bad, ibuprofen only allowed second trimester, codeine safe in second and third but best avoided close to the birth as it can make the baby sleepy.

birchygoo · 08/05/2015 09:17

thats for the update on paracetamol, cramps seem to have mostly gone this morning and still no AF, still will be quite surprised if it doesn't arrive today. Yoga this evening, which helps me unwind.

zippy would you normally be this late?

woolly yehhh go go go fx crossed for you
