Morning all. Hope I haven't missed anyone off. My head feels like cotton wool today, think I'm about to catch whatever bug the littlest chops has today. Great!

Is there a November bus yet?

lilygirl81 · 21/10/2015 10:54

I know I never really left, but I'm back, sudden, heavy bleeding with clots, so have lost it. I was meant to have a midwife appointment today to arrange my early scan, and am desperately trying to hold it together at work

wantingno2 · 21/10/2015 10:55

totally off subject but how have I only just noticed my username makes me sound like I need a big poo will have to think of a new name. back on subject af has left now so time to get down to business is once every 2 days enough or should I just try to do it every day??

ToInfinity · 21/10/2015 10:58

I'm so sorry Lilygirl ThanksThanks

Can I join? Currently mc what would have been dc#2.

Had another mc in May so feeling pretty bummed. Only thing to do is get back on the bus I guess. Sad

I'm so sorry lily. Don't hold it together, go home. If you don't want to tell work why pull the 'I've just been sick, it might be d&v'.

Got home, lots of painkillers, tuck up in bed and be kind to yourself. MC and baby loss at any stage is really rough.

KittyandTeal · 21/10/2015 11:20

Wee I'm going to check back occasionally but can you take me off the stats. Depending on what the doc says I may well be back on next cycle but I doubt it. For now we're stopping ttc.

ChatEnOeuf · 21/10/2015 11:41

So sorry Lily, look after yourself Flowers You too Infinity

I've drifted off the stats. Notionally testing 8th Nov but in reality if I get to being late, I'll be testing the following week.

Wanting I think EOD is fine.

wantingno2 · 21/10/2015 12:36

Sorry to hear that lilly ino the feeling I had 8 miscarriages befor I had my son it's hard but you just have to be kind to yourself there's light at the end of every tunel. chat we've decided to try and do the dance every day but we will se I don't have a very high sex drive to be honest lol.

Thisisbonkers · 21/10/2015 12:39

Sorry Lily Flowers and Infinity Flowers

I'm resisting the urge to test Blush I'm about 8dpo. I know it's too early, and I put my etd as 31st oct as then AF would definitely be late. Testing this Saturday would also be too early, right? Talk some sense into me! I have a bunch of ICs screaming at me!

BindiBarbarella · 21/10/2015 13:01

So so sorry lily and infinity - hugs to you both. Lily, just go home - you must take care of yourself xx

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 21/10/2015 13:39

So sad to hear your news lily and infinity Flowers.

I don't really have a test date as still waiting for first AF since stopping pill.
I have been using IC OPKs and think I ovulated a week last Tuesday (13th) so am going to wait until 31st to test as AF will probably come before that.

Still feel crampy most days and a bit sick but am rushed off my feet so might just be tired.

Thurlow · 21/10/2015 16:16

Flowers for Lily and infinity. I hope you both manage to take care of yourself today.

I guess my notional test date is 3rd November, as that would be 28 days after my last Pill period started. Am currently resisting the urge to test earlier as I've previously fallen pregnant on day 4-6, so I lot earlier than you'd expect. Which would make the 2ww some point middle of next week.

Cookiesandcoffee · 21/10/2015 17:52

lily and infinity Thanks lily take care of yourself - f*k everyone else. Rest up and have some treats.
Bad timing for a 2ww, I have an awful tummy bug so I constantly feel either crampy or bloated and sick! Not as shit as others week but not nice. And the weight gain from the holiday I've just been on has definitely gone to my boobs.

Don't know what I managed with the capitals I blame my phone*!

havetobe this is also my first month and I'm not sure what to expect. Does your cycle length go semi back to what it was or does it take a while? I'm sure I oved quite a bit later than what was predicted from app etc.

thisisbonkers! I also looked at the tests whilst I was in the chemist today. Think I'm 8dpo but snapped out of it. I haven't bought any ICs.. Yet!!! Remain strong!!!
wanting personally I think every day is too much effort! Wink but no harm! Maybe every day over the week you think you are most fertile?

Thinking about it I'm going to have to move my test date back.. I oved later.. Damn it!! Angry

Hi everyone! May I join?

Well, the Ovia app says 25th but i'm not due on until 27th so a bit confused Confused

I got a positive opk on the 13th Oct and we've dtd lots this month.

Lily i'm sorry to hear your sad news Flowers

Congratulations to all those with BFPs!

Loki17 · 21/10/2015 19:00

Been away for a couple of days with dd and dh which was lovely but haven't been able to bd since Sunday. CD 12 today so need to get busy! So sorry to see their us sad news on this thread though - thinking of you Lily and infinity.

pulpi · 21/10/2015 20:06

Funny month this. Had all the symptoms that I've never had before, including temp drop during implantation, nipples doing crazy things, and as I result I think that maybe, just for 5 seconds or so, maybe it tried to stick, but just couldn't quite make it. Had I peed on a stick, it would've confirmed it.... but then AF arrived yesterday evening. Anyway, I looking at this as a good news situation because it means that I can get pregnant, that all our bits and bobs are working, and we just need to keep at it.

That being said, I'm off to the November bus.. or the 10 plussers bus.. or both!

Good luck to everyone still waiting to test!

Thisisbonkers · 21/10/2015 21:48

Guess who got a BFN this evening Blush

Cookiesandcoffee · 21/10/2015 22:04

Oh no, thisisbonkers you caved!! It obviously doesn't count Grinmy temp had been slightly raised but dropped today .. Am definitely saving ££ and no POAS... I will not POAS..

Cookiesandcoffee · 21/10/2015 22:05

And welcome tamara Smile

Sakura03 · 21/10/2015 22:16

so sorry lily and infinity
Sorry you are outbonkers
Cd12 here, I'm using one step ov strips for the first time, they are tiny and so cheap it makes you wonder if they really work, only time will tell I suppose.

Sodasoda · 21/10/2015 22:29

Hello all! Please can I join? Sorry for sad news on this thread recently.

33 and TTC #1. On cycle 6. Am due AF tomorrow or Friday but fully expecting it this month as DH was away during positive OPKs so ready to go for it during November!

Thisisbonkers · 21/10/2015 22:58

cookies don't buy them! They are there and it's sooo tempting. I knew it would be a BFN, of course it would be. Just sorta hoped I'd get a freak positive Grin least I can't be downhearted when I know I was ridiculous!

Bluebell20 · 22/10/2015 06:59

Really sorry, lily and infinity :(

Well, I cracked today and did my first pregnancy test. My cycle varies between 23 and 30 days, but it does average out at 28 days, so I took this test (a CB one which can test 4 days early) at 26 days. BFN, unsurprisingly! I didn't think I was pregnant, and I shan't be testing again now - I'll just wait for AF.

I booked a doc's appointment for next week to ask if I can bring my smear test forward from January to November, in case I'm pregnant by then. Only question is, should we continue TTC next month, while I'm waiting for smear test results?
