Right, I'm out, again! Af arrived today. A LP of all of 9 days again! I wonder if my 4 days cramps and spotting were a poor egg trying in vain to implant. Who knows.

I guess I should be on the November bus but I don't think there is one yet!

I totally failed at keeping up with this thread, am on page 1 but leaping back on if that's alright! Congrats to all the BFPs Smile
Well I was originally supposed to test 1/10 but AF showed up early on 28/09, thanks post-mc messed up body! The good news is I have short cycles so still on the October bus, next AF due 24/10.
Unfortunately I'm not convinced, DH works away all week so we haven't DTD since Sunday evening and I've just had a very very +ve OPK an hour or so ago, won't have a chance to DTD til tomorrow evening so not convinced we've got much chance. Suppose we shall see in a couple of weeks. Sigh!

lilygirl81 · 08/10/2015 23:26

kitty sorry about AF. Enjoy some WineorCake (or both!) and here's to a successful new cycle.

I got a bizarre positive on my clear blue monitor today, although I am convinced I ovulated on Monday. Both DH and I were feeling rubbish, so we went for the turkey baster method, did feel very odd, but didn't want to risk missing a chance.

ChatEnOeuf · 09/10/2015 06:46

Kitty sorry to hear you're out.

Wanting that sounds horrible, so glad you got your DS after all that heartbreak.

Spotting here. Who knows what that means - I used to understand my body but now it feels like it's playing tricks on me. Will test again at the weekend if it doesn't turn into AF.

wantingno2 · 09/10/2015 06:52

Thank you chatEn he's my best friend such a happy boy I just want to give him a sibling I think I'm out for this month I'm due on tomorrow still bfn.

Loki17 · 09/10/2015 07:17

Af technically due tomorrow according to my last af. However, implant 2 as removed on cd 7 and I ov'd late at cd18 so perhaps is due Tuesday instead. In any case, it's cd 27, 10 dpo, BFN on fr this morning. It's still c#1 though so I am going to stay positive. Good luck to others testing this weekend!

wantingno2 · 09/10/2015 07:29

Good luck to you to loki17 I thought I sore a hint of a line but I was probably imagining it so will get some more tests later and take another tomorrow.

MrsNuckyT · 09/10/2015 12:32

Hi everyone - no news from me. +OPKs last weekend, and managed to do 3 well-timed BDs so keeping everything crossed. Starting to feel pessimistic about it every happening again, but I guess that doesn't help. In the horrid 2ww now. Guess I'll test for the first time around the 16th.

Congrats on the BFPs. Haven't read the whole thread but seems like there's a fair few!

FuzzyOwl · 09/10/2015 15:11

Sorry to those with AF.

No positive OPK yet but I am expecting one this weekend - only started a couple of days ago and will be really annoyed if I have already missed my surge.

Started on the evening primrose oil on Wednesday, so hope it will help.

Loki17 · 09/10/2015 17:22

I'm pretty sure af is on her way. Infact, I'm so sure I am going to have wine tonight. I feel so silly because I've felt really nauseous and it's obviously all in my head! Next month, I will be more relaxed and ignore the 2ww. The way I've obsessed this month is not healthy.

Loki17 · 09/10/2015 17:24

I'm not using opks either. I'm just going to force dh to be every other day at least for a month!

Lovelybeano · 09/10/2015 17:30

No af yet, 'officially' late tomorrow but I have a feeling it's on it's way, fx I'm wrong Confused, I haven't bought any tests yet and I'm not going to buy any unless there's no sign by tomorrow afternoon, might go to bed early just so that the time gets here a bit quicker haha

wantingno2 · 09/10/2015 18:25

I'm pretty sure af is on its way to had a crappy belly all day and feel very moody usual signs.

Loki17 · 09/10/2015 19:54

I'm officially out. AF is here and I'm gutted. Drinking a large glass of red and stealing myself for next month. urgh.

wantingno2 · 09/10/2015 20:05

mine will probably arrive tomorrow I don't normally drink but I will definitely be drowning my sorows when it does its really got me down this month might take a break for a while its mentally draining especially with a toddler to look after.

MrsSantaClause · 10/10/2015 08:22

Well AF got me on Tuesday AngrySadat least now I can work out ov etc. Also had a chat with dh about the lack of dtd-he feels under pressure Confused
Next test date: 4th November

Loki17 · 10/10/2015 08:37

Mrs could you try telling your dh that you will spend this month just doing it for fun and getting back into enjoying each other, no pressure or expectations? Chart your cycle but keep it to yourself and make the bd about having fun?

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 10/10/2015 09:00

Sorry to those that Af has got.

I had my blood test results yesterday. They are pretty sure I'm ovulating. There's just one hormone that is abnormally high the sex binding hormone. The gp mentioned something about my liver but didn't really tell me if this hormone was affecting my chances of conceiving. I've got to have repeat bloods and then in two weeks a swab to check for any infection. I think she is just a bit stumped as to why I'm not conceiving Sad

MrsSantaClause · 10/10/2015 09:28

Good plan Loki I don't think it helped that I said you do realise that now I've had my coil taken out I have to go through hell every month?!?! So no pressure then Grin

I had almost no symptoms at all but finally tested last night and got BPF, very surprised!

Good luck to everyone still due to test and to those on next months bus xxx

Loki17 · 10/10/2015 10:11

Ok - im about to share way too much but here goes: When we conceived dd and dh got a bit pressured and found it to much, so, I lied and told him it wasn't my fertile time until the following week, it was just that having sex had made me so horny I couldn't resist him. I kept 'accidentally' brushing past him or touching him during the day so that by nightfall he thought wanting to dtd was his idea. I even suggested we watch a dirty movie together on one occasion. Or I'd say, let's just do hand/mouth stuff tonight but then once he was on the edge I'd jump on him because 'I just had to have him'. I didn't talk about ttc at all. I didn't let him know about the opks or charting. The first he knew about ttc was when I waved a hpt in his face at 6 am and demanded he wake up to see if he could see a line! He remembers it very fondly and, too be honest, so do I. I was so wrapped up in turning him on that I forgot about ttc for the most part. That's the difference between conceiving dd and this disaster of a month ttc #2. This month I've been a moody nightmare and we only dtd once I got a positive opk. Even then it was robotic and pressured. I'm going to stop obsessing and put the fun back into ttc. That's the plan anyway!

KeepTheHope · 10/10/2015 10:22

Congrats rose!

That sounds like a good plan Loki, hopefully it will work for you again.

Sorry to all those that AF caught up with. Fingers crossed for next month.

Loki17 · 10/10/2015 10:31
