We don't care if you obsessively chart, temp & OPK, or just do the deed a couple of times a month. As long as you want a baby & can talk copious amounts of rubbish, this is the place for you. Grin

Lol - mummy, it's funny how much we like pretty looking charts is t it! I'm the same, have to discard a dodgy looking temp!

Nympho - sorry for the bfn, how many dpo are you?
Your symptom sounds promising though, I don't know what else that could be! Fingers very tightly crossed for you!

My 'baby drugs' have arrived, there's so much! It's all a bit scary, but safely away in the fridge now. I think something is missing though, so just waiting on a call back from the clinic to confirm. Xx

Reluctantnympho · 27/06/2015 10:36

I don't know exactly how many dpo sammy I didn't use opk's this month, but I usually have a 28 day cycle. Supposed to be going out for dh's bday tonight, but it don't think I'll be up to it (it's also made me a bit scared that my life is too busy to deal with morning sickness (I get it really badly) the house is messy and I'm trying to tidy, but I feel like death and my little ones are still in their pj's (bad mommy)

loopylou1984 · 27/06/2015 10:43

Nympho- give yourself a break, and don't panic!
It's the weekend, nothing wrong with being in your pjs mid morning!
Look after yourself, you could have a little bean in there.

You will cope with the morning sickness if that's what it is, you will just have to slow down a little bit. Xx

Nomio230 · 27/06/2015 10:45

Nympho, sorry for the BFN, but maybe it is just twerly. I hope you feel better soon.

Sammy, yay for the drugs! I hope it is all there.

1DPO for me. Do you think I can count tiredness as a symptom?! It is definitely not because I only had 4 hours sleep.

loopylou1984 · 27/06/2015 10:57

Definitely Nomio Wink

I think it is all there. I chat to some others on an infertility thread and they don't seem to think I need the thing that is on the invoice but not in the box - just want the nurses to confirm as it would be awful to get to Thursday and not have something vital! X

Nomio230 · 27/06/2015 11:11

Definitely! Are you more excited or nervous right now, Sammy?

DizzyNorthernBird · 27/06/2015 11:14

Morning!

dizzym sorry I totally missed your post yesterday! I didn't mean to worry you or anything, I just wanted to give you a word of warning so you didn't make the same mistake as me and miss a chance as it's very frustrating! Hopefully your temps are still high now?

madame sorry AF got you too Flowers but that's great you're also being positive! Last cycle when AF arrived I was down in the dumps for about a week....I know hormones are partly responsible and it can't be helped sometimes, but this month I'm just thinking there's no point in being down about it is there! We can do this!

lucie, gutted things haven't gone according to plan this time, I'm so sorry.

mummy what do you think of OITNB this season? We've only watched the first episode so far and I found it a bit on the slow side.... I hope it picks up.

loopylou1984 · 27/06/2015 11:23

Erm... Excited I think, although nervous about getting the injections right and stuff. Xx

DizzyNorthernBird · 27/06/2015 11:24

mummy sorry for the bfn but it's still so early!

Boo for temp drop sammy but yay for drugs! I hope the clinic put your mind to rest today and you can look forward to getting started.

Hurrah for +opk mega! Will you be able to squeeze in some CoC?

DP and I are getting all excited for our hols now.....him mainly for dtd while we're away! I've told him he needs to save some for when we get back as my fertile window begins the day after we come home!

What's everyone doing today? I slept in late Confused and have woke up with a headache. Hoping to go out for a run shortly but it looks so hot out there Hmm. 3 more shifts to go then I'm finished work, hurrah!

DizzyMerry · 27/06/2015 12:55

Sorry for bfn mummy but it is still early.

Sammy sorry for temp drop but you have so much to look forward to. Your bfp isn't far away.

Nomio we should hopefully get an appointment through next week with the private clinic and I think it may be a good idea to have a full fertility assessment and take it from there. I will try anything before thinking about IVF so hopefully clomid will be offered as an option.

Dizzy my temp is still high, slightly down from yesterday but higher than a few other days and temps are higher overall than previous cycles.

Lucie I'm so sorry this has happened to you. It must feel like a blow but at least you have done your research and taken advice and this knowledge will help in your next cycle.

Nympho sorry for bfn but hopefully it's just too early for you too.

Mummyofonesofar · 27/06/2015 14:12

nympho sorry for bfn Hun. Even afternoon pjs are ok on a Saturday!

sammy 3 big cheers for the baby drugs! I hope nothing is missing.

nomio that is surely a symptom Wink

DizzyN I have only seen the first episode too, I agree it felt slow! Said that to dp, let's hope it picks up. It is sooo sunny, I've done all my washing, built ds's 10ft trampoline, fed everyone else's kids who were here as it was lunchtime and they didn't go home and now I am sunning myself in the opposite garden to the kids trampoline Grin oh combined dp to let me book a holiday when I find a good deal.

Mummyofonesofar · 27/06/2015 14:12

*convinced

MadameLeota · 27/06/2015 15:05

Happy weekend everyone! Sad to see some BFNs, but you're not out until the witch gets you! FXs!

I've just got back from a colour run. Good fun but the paint kept making me sneeze. I did accidentally have an ice cream and a can of pop after so hoping I didn't undo my good work. Watch out BMI I'm coming to get you!

Mummyofonesofar · 27/06/2015 20:00

Well done madame an ice cream can't hurt.

Had a tiny bit of spotting this afternoon just once. Hmm and some cramping earlier. A warning son from af I think

HopesUpKnickersDown · 27/06/2015 20:03

Evening ladies, manic weekend but just popping on to give you a wave, sorry for bfn's but three cheers for +Opk's...go Robot! Hope you're all enjoying the sun Smile

ThePug · 27/06/2015 20:19

Hi all! Successfully dropped the dog off with his "grandparents" and now at airport hotel ready for early morning flight tomorrow. Haven't yet spoken to SIL about her pregnancy (in fact it hasn't been mentioned!). DN is 2.5 and very cute but so much hard work, and we've only been with them 3 hours!

No temp rise this morning but very sore boobs this morning so think I'll be 1dpo tomorrow. So one more night if CoC tonight. Typical the morning the temp matters I'll have to take it at silly o'clock.

Sorry to see a few BFNs but may well just be too early. Fx for you all.

Lucie so sorry to read your update, what an emitional rollercoaster this must be for you. I hope you can get the drugs right for next cycle.

Sammy glad your stash has arrived, good luck!

loopylou1984 · 27/06/2015 21:36

Pug - have a lovely holiday :)

Just got back from the family BBQ and I survived! No one asked us anything about having babies which leads me to believe they all know. So it's not just us waiting for the outcome of IVF but the whole family! Ah well, at least we don't see them all very often! Xx

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 07:52

So - 14dpo and my temp is still high... This is very weird. So weird that I actually just poas for the first time in months! Bfn so I think I can safely say I'm not pg. maybe our room is just hotter or I had a disturbed sleep. AF had better not be late for no reason... Anyone know why LPs could be longer? I need af to arrive by Wednesday any later would make the date for my baseline scan the weekend!!!

Gah!

What is everyone up to today? X

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 07:53

Oh - my chart for anyone who's interested:

Hairstylisttoboris · 28/06/2015 08:56

sammy sorry for the bfn but other than that is does sound promising.

I've got a quiet day today. We had a bbq all day yesterday, friebds from the place we used to live who came down to see our new home. loads of new mums and pregnant friends. Tested my sense of grace to the limit. Still it was nice to catch up with old friends.

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 09:19

Yeah, BBQ we went to yesterday everyone was talking about their children/pregnancy, their new pram, kids sleeping habits etc. I felt so disconnected from everyone :(.

I think a bfp the cycle before IVF would be too much to hope for... Especially with a bfn this morning. DH did snore a bit last night so I probably tossed and turned more than I remember. Xx

Hairstylisttoboris · 28/06/2015 09:28

The only friend I've now told about our fertility journey got pregnant right before her ivf stated. It's unusual and unlikely but not impossible.

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 12:42

Yeah I have heard of it a few times, but the bfn makes me think it's not what's happening here! Xx

Rainy34 · 28/06/2015 13:23

Lots of barbecues going on over the weekend, sorry that they have all been filled with talk of babies,

Managed to get me some coc, on cd 12, feeling rather frisky lol, have not been using opks, after we dtd i noticed whar looked like egg white cervical mucas i did stretch but un sure if it was left over spunk, will keep an eye on it, !!

DizzyMerry · 28/06/2015 16:12

Massive temp drop here and have just been greeted by AF a whole 6 days early if FF got ov right but a 18 day cycle! I feel like weeping in frustration Sad
