Welcome to Bumsnet-home of talking crap, speculating about Blairgowrie & hopefully a few BFPs!

[Nomio230]

Whether you have just started trying or been at it for years. Using IVF, AI, or just good old fashioned shagging, all are welcome.

Come join our crazy bus of laughter, tears and friendship on our way to BFP land.

Another two baby bombs today must be something in the water round here

Thanks mummy I did have a relaxing weekend on allotment enjoying the nice weather

Beautician glad you had a lovely bbq

Boris your week sounds dramatic, glad you are ok and enjoyed your hol

Pixa I'm so glad you are having the tests and haven't ruled everything out. It sounds like you have a lot of wonderful supportive people around you. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you lovely

Hey jazzy congratulations I remember you, lovely for you to come back and say hello!!

Eskimo sounds like you've had a super break and hurray for smiley faces, I have my fx crossed for you lovely

Mummy can't believe it CD14 today usually Ov on CD16 used CB Ov sticks for first time and got nothing, no face, no smile, no flashing just a great big empty bloody circle. Not sure what is happening

Thanks everyone!

Sammy Do you get the positives on the Clearblue sticks?

Frog Don't panic! The very first time that you use the CB Ov sticks, they will always show an empty circle as the stick is 'calibrating' and gauging your levels. This happens every cycle, so you just need to carry on peeing on them and they will check for any rises. Hope this makes sense!

Frog yes always a circle the first time you use cb monitors. Don't panic you will probably get a flashing smiley tomorrow. I started using mine on cd 12 & got a circle, circle, forgot to do test, flashing smiley, flashing smiley, static smiley

Pixa - yes, just under two weeks! I'm so excited :). We had her on Sunday and she's pretty much mastered sit, I'm going to tach her loads of tricks!!!
I'm with you on the sex for pleasure but not ttc thing being weird. We're not allowed to try this cycle as per clinic advice.... Probably for the best as I'm now on cd20 with no temp rise

So far had two days of pos opk, but I may well not ov this cycle I suppose. Xx

Eskimo - I've never tried the clear blues after the two day solid smiley, but on cheapy opks I always get 2/3 days!

pixa oh so cute!

beautician what a shocking accident, sounds like a nightmare.

Sorry to all who have been baby bombed.

eskimo I don't use or understand cb opks so I'm. Not much help. On SI I get a much longer and stronger LH surge so maybe the drugs have an impact. I think ive read that CB have a helpful helpline which might give you better answers?

sammy how odd you don't getto ttc after all these months. Must feel very wierd.

I can't beleive it's only Tuesday, I want the weekend! DH is now sick in bed and feeling sorry for himself, neither of us slept much last night due to his fever and caugh.

Eskimo like Boris said Cb have a really good helpline. I've read on mn a few times about people having a static smiley for quite a few days. I think you only take into consideration the first one though and presume you ovulate the day or two after that.

I was surprised to get my static smiley this morning. So DH and I will dtd tonight and tomorrow. He is working away on Thursday so will aim for Friday too. The thing is I've always presumed ovulation is around this time and nothing's happened yet

Welcome back eskimo glad you had a perfect weekend!! Also perfect DTD timings! But you shouldn’t test after the surge – because I think it picks up hormones which will surge after ov too. Hopefully your bloods will show you have ov’d. Sorry you have to wait for them x

Good timing for you too Raluca

frog don’t panic – the first day you use the CB ov tests it is always blank because it measures your pre levels to give the reader something to compare to for the future tests. – Ah I now see others have already posted that!

I am 1 week away from when the last pregnancy stopped progressing, currently 5w+5d, time is going by so slowly 2 weeks 2 days til my private scan. No spotting is good but on the other hand I am worrying that you should spot if implantation is nice and deeply embedded. No pleasing me I guess. Just wish I could enjoy this!

I had no spotting mummy so please don't worry about that! Is not necessary for implantation :)

Ok night will try not to, just so argh!!!

Mummy no spotting for me with all 3 pregnancies. I felt quite crampy to start and needed the loo often but that was pretty much it symptom wise until about 6/7 weeks

Sorry about putting my worries on this thread - it occured to me they should be on the grad page, but sometimes I feel so far behind them all! Still being in the early pg worry stage.

It's a worrying time mummy.

AF got me this morning.

Mummy I can completely relate to your fears, it's so hard not to worry about everything

lily so sorry for AF. Drink and eat and be good to yourself. X

Sorry for AF lily, let me know your new stats when you are ready please?

We are due a BFP ladies!! Fx for those in your tww now

Lily sorry the witch arrived

Mummy don't apologise for posting in here. I think it's lovely that so many get their BFP but still pop in

Definitely due a BFP soon. Come on lucky August. I'm not even in the tww yet

As I am 2dpo and totally not symptom spotting I feel like sleeping all day long. House hunting with parents is emotionally draining!

I had no implantation spotting either mummy try not to worry. The chances of another loss is so so slim x

Hi all,

I have been AWOL for a few days as I have had a throat/ear infection. I have been feeling like death & pretty much just been in bed.

Off to catch up on all your news now.

Hi all again.
Sorry if tmi but if you have milky wee does that mean you have an infection? Also have cramps like af...

Nomio, that sounds awful, hope you're better soon xx

Mummy, I didn't have implantation bleeding with either of mine so don't worry about that.

Raluca, no idea on the milky pee but I'm 4 dpo and I'm with you on the tiredness, can't wait to get into bed! I'd like to call it as a symptom but I think in my case it's too many early mornings!

mummy I'm not offended by your posts, don't mind you voicing fears.

ral instinctively Id think that would be a sign of infection but I don't know why I think that.

spinning hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.

nomio sounds grim. Take care of yourself.

pixa the reading is lovely, it must be so hard for you, i think being open with family and friends will help you along your journey, I am really pleased that through out all of this that it has helped to make you closer as a couple,
your dog is so cute xx

Jazzypleased to read you got your rainbow baby and it is heart warming to read that people like yourself come back in an check on us all

boris welcome back and glad you had a nice break!

Eskimo That sounds lovely going back to the hotel where you got married, must have brought back some happy memories,!!

Frog i can sympathise with you in the baby bombing, just been baby bombed today with friends that have only been together such a short time, hopefully one day it will be our turn to baby bomb!!

MummY stay strong and take each day as it comes, hoping for a sticky bean xx

lily sorry Af got you today, hope you are not suffering to much!!, feet up anf stuff your face with deserved chocolate

I have my fertility appointment on friday, feeling really emotional about it, poor dh is actaully staying out of my way , i have been so snappy and everything is getting to me, spilt some water last night all over the table when i was about to get my dinner, i just sat on the floor crying, I did not think that i would feel the way i am feeling, I am so scared they wont be able to give me anything and send me on my way, a friend has been to her first appoinment and she told me she was only in for ten minutes, i was hoping it would be a bit longer than that, not sure if the difference is i have already had an intenal scan where she hasnt before her appointment,

Hope you're feeling better soon nomio.

Rainy I hope you have some answers and a plan of action on Friday. Hang in there lovely it'll be your turn soon.

Not sure about the milky wee ral but try and speak to your GP to find out what it could be.

We're definitely due a bfp on here and I have everything crossed for everyone in the tww.

Ral - yes milky urine is a sign of a uti, if it's just feeling a bit crampy then get drinking water to flush it out. If it's starting to feel like you constantly need a wee then get to the doctors for some anti biotics. Hope you feel better soon.
