Thank you everyone

Eskimo I'm such a wimp having my blood taken so I wouldn't have been happy if they'd taken a drop more than needed haha.

Boris DH still hasn't managed to have his SA done but is working locally soon so hopefully he will have time. I hope you get some answers soon.

Kirjava · 07/10/2015 05:21

eskimo fingers and toes crossed for you lovely. Has anything felt different this cycle?

DizzyNorthernBird · 07/10/2015 07:07

Hang on in there eskimo, only a few days to go then you'll know where you stand. Keeping my fx for you that the sore boobs are indeed a positive sign and your body is finally responding.

beaut/boris I will be pressuring DP to book in for his SA if we don't get a bfp this time. I know we'd agreed to wait until after Xmas but that's only a couple of months away. But he's such a stubborn git!

lolly welcome, when is af due for you? Sorry I know you did say but I can't skip back a page lol

Temp has dropped back to 36.60 today. Don't know what that means, it could be the beginning of the decline towards af. Maybe yesterday's increase was a blip? Looking back at my post of temp patterns, apart from the general trend of a decline after 11dpo, every month looks totally different! It's not unheard of to see today's temp on 36.60. Argh! Will see what tomorrow brings. I certainly don't feel preggo. If af is coming I'll start to see brown cm tomorrow so I think I'll know then. Boobs don't even feel all that sore now either!

I've got my annual fitness test and physical safety training today. Ugh, what a bore. We aren't supposed to do it if pregnant though Confused, although if I am it would be too early to cause any harm I suppose!

Have a good day everyone!

DizzyNorthernBird · 07/10/2015 07:09

*not unheard of to see today's temp on 13dpo. Pay attention dizzy! Lol

Flybynight1 · 07/10/2015 08:09

Dizzy you and I are cycle buddies!! For now at least. AF is due Saturday too. What sort of cramps have you been having? I have no symptoms whatsoever-AF or otherwise :-( am away for a work course (good distraction!) so bought Tampax just in case hoping it would keep AF away!! Haha every little helps...? I've had loose bowel movements but I'm putting those down to the preconcieve vits.

Desperately waiting for my boobs to get sore!!! I forgot my thermometer so I've not been temping this week. Plenty of creamy cm though (not had a dry day), don't think that necessarily means anything though.

Are you going to test on Saturday Dizzy??

Flybynight1 · 07/10/2015 08:12

eskimo hoping that you get some positive results this time around :-)

loopylou1984 · 07/10/2015 11:06

Just a quick note to let you all know that my IVF has been abandoned again due to an adverse reaction to the estrogen. Will update properly another time, too sad to write it all out again now. Xx

lollyb20 · 07/10/2015 11:19

Hi eskimo- iv wken this morning to my boobs feel bruised and i have bold blue veins through them and through my areola

Hi Dizzy AF Was due 28th september 12 days late today still nothing!!

How is everyone?? X

lilygirl81 · 07/10/2015 11:50

Sammy sending you lots of hugs xx

Hairstylisttoboris · 07/10/2015 11:53

Oh sammy there are no words good enough. My heart breaks for you. x

Nomio23 · 07/10/2015 12:13

Sammy, I am so sorry to hear that. We are here when you want to talk. X

Lolly, I hope you get an answer soon. It must be so frustrating to have signs of being PG, but keep getting BFNs.

I haven't been to Hull fair for about 15 years, Eskimo! I love it there though. I keep telling DH that I will take him one day, but always forget. Blush

I have my fingers crossed that your sore boobs are a good sign.

Hairstylisttoboris · 07/10/2015 12:24

Oh hull fair! Nomio did you used to live up there?

Nomio23 · 07/10/2015 15:48

Nearby. I used to live in Barton, on the other side of the bridge when I was little, plus my ex's family were all from Hull, so we used to come up every year. I love it there!

Pixa · 07/10/2015 18:08

I love Barton! Grin

Hope you're all well. Praying for your bfps.

Hairstylisttoboris · 07/10/2015 18:30

I'm from East Yorkshire, near the coast. I do miss up north sometimes.

AF has announced her arrival. Cycle 17 here I come.

If someone updates the stats can you update mine please

Hairstylisttoboris, 37, ttc1 cycle 17. Bfp due 31 October

Last time I quoted my stats I think I got my age wrong. I get so confused these days....

DizzyNorthernBird · 07/10/2015 18:32

fly yaaay! I never usually get a cycle buddy due to my unpredictable cycles! If no af I plan to test on Monday. Hope the tampax plan works for you!

lolly I reckon you're pg.

sammy. I'm so sorry. Flowers Flowers Flowers

Beansprout30 · 07/10/2015 20:02

sammy Flowers if anyone deserves a bfp soon it's you, stick with it girl you will get there!!

eskimoflo · 07/10/2015 20:57

Oh Sammy, I'm so sorry to hear your news Flowers Flowers We're all rooting for you and we're here when you feel ready to come back to us.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Kir I had some very 'snot-like' CM around CD14, which I haven't had before. It's always been what I have thought was stretchy, but this time, it was ridiculously thick! Nothing else other than that and the sore boobs, which have gone today. I don't 'feel' any different at all... Hmm

Dizzy Hope the training isn't too dull for you, and that AF stays away!

Liking all the Hull Fair talk. To tell the truth, I haven't been for years either; DH has never been and we live here! Think he's working most nights next week, so probably won't go this year either. Being a teacher, it's very difficult to walk round without getting noticed and bombarded with annoying greetings!

Boris Sorry for AF Angry

Waves to Pixa and Bean Grin

Oh sammy i am so sorry to hear, you must be so devastated ,you will get there in the end, you deserve a bfp!!

frogbubbles · 07/10/2015 22:38

Hey lovelies, how is everyone? Thought I would pop in and say hello, we've stopped "actively" trying now, had some bloods done a couple of weeks ago and all came back normal. Doctor said she wouldn't be surprised if it was down to my weight, so basically I can't get upduffed because I'm a fat sod!!!!! Going to see if I can try and lose a stone by Xmas and start again in N.Y.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 07/10/2015 23:06

Sammy so sorry. Sending lots of hugs. You will get your BFP and my goodness do you deserve it.

Frog I need to lose weight too so that's what I'm concentrating on at the moment Confused

DizzyNorthernBird · 08/10/2015 06:51

Temp has dropped by 0.12 this morning. Af will probably arrive tomorrow Sad. On to cycle 10 (I think?)

DizzyNorthernBird · 08/10/2015 06:56

frog nice to hear from you! I hope you can enjoy the break from active ttc. I think I'm taking a break next month and possibly the month after as I'm well and truly bored now.

It annoys me when doctors tell people to lose weight....there's plenty of larger ladies who get pregnant so why do others have to jump through hoops?

waves at woolly and everyone else

Pixa · 08/10/2015 07:15

DizzyNorth you're not out yet! You're so due your bfp. My fingers and toes are crossed for you.
