Thanks Babylove -just seen your news too - fingers crossed I don't know how I'd hold out testing with the boots one

babylove123 · 24/12/2006 12:29

hi Whoops, well im not convinced with this 1 and im down to my last 3 tests!!! (started with like 15 6 weeks ago!) Dont wanna buy anymore of my cheap ones coz im not convinced they work so im trying to save myself some money but use the willpower!

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 24/12/2006 13:18

I bought a load of thse off ebay too! I'm not too convinced either!

babylove123 · 24/12/2006 13:22

Did u use a shop, who was it?! Fertility plan?!

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 24/12/2006 13:24

No I think it was Babymad - but there are so many similar ones! I'm off to my friends in a mo to pic the spare digital she has! (her dh had the snip and they had a scare so she isn't hoping to use it!)

babylove123 · 24/12/2006 13:28

Ooh lucky you having a spare! I dont have any1 i can talk to babies about so certainly no spares. It sucks coz my boss has a baby daughter who is 1 yr old so and they're rich so she has loads of nice stuff and i just wanna say "i want some!!!!" I told someone coz his daughter is pg and i said "i want her hand-me downs"!

AF today

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 24/12/2006 18:09

Oh no - sorry to hear that sparkly
I've just been having pains too I think af is going to have arrived by the morning too

sparklytreeangel · 24/12/2006 19:02

Hope not fingers crossed

XmassyCharlotte · 24/12/2006 20:34

Sparkly!! So sorry to hear about AF

Hope you're feeling okay... if there's ANY month when other stuff is going on to feel good about, it's December - hope you have a fantastic trip in the wilds of Scotland - and get loads of naughtiness in too

I have absolutely no symptoms, really don't think this month is going to be it... but feel okay about it. We didn't 'do it' at the right times, really - and I'm secretly hoping I can let my hair down on New Year's Eve!!

My temps are also hugely dropping, but hey ho. It's my first month of proper charting, so I'm intrigued each day by what my body's doing, let alone anything else. And I'll know a bit more what to look for next month.

Happy Christmas and lashings of babydust to all.

babylove123 · 24/12/2006 22:50

Sorry to hear bout your AF sparkly, better luck next time

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 25/12/2006 10:07

Merry Christmas everyone
I did a test this morning and as I expected it was a bfn
Hope everyone has a good day x

sparklytreeangel · 25/12/2006 19:26

Thanks everyone for your kind words

Am over it now and agree with xmassy letting my hair down at this time of year is fun

Am v. upset about 9/10 day luteal phase as was sure it was longer unless this month was a one off

Happy Christmas to everyone

MrsMcClaus · 26/12/2006 10:51

Hello ! the whole family (in laws too) are still sleeping and I just can?t be bothered to tidy up the chaos that is my entire house yet! feel like tidy up and cook is all I?ve done for the last few days but it?s been fun! I?ve been taking it easy on the booze front just in case too. 8dpo today and not a symptom to speak of! Boobs totally normal which is a great relief after last cycle!!

Honeyapple ? oh hon, so sorry about AF now you hold DH to that commitment in January wishing you a January BFP and hope you are ok. Sending you hugs.

Whoops ? sorry to hear about the BFN but it ain?t over till it?s over!!!! Babydust chick!!

Yuletideways & Decorative ? Merry Christmas to you too, hope you are having a lovely time .

Babylove ? No, you can just call the clinic at your local hospital and make an appointment. Might not be a STI but could be range of other things like yeast infections or other things that your body might have created through regular sex, even with only one partner. It would give you peace of mind anyway. Hope you get it all sorted out soon . Pre seed is sperm friendly lubricant that can take the place of EWCM for sperm to swim in if yours is in short supply.

Oh Sparkly ? so sorry, I was feeling really positive for you too. Enjoy your time away and hope you get that BFP soon. X

Xmassy ? hey you!! Where?s your positive attitude gone?! You did BD at the right time and plenty of it too!!! Xmas Envy I?m rooting for you!

ImpatientElf · 26/12/2006 16:20

Hello ladies. I've been off doing the various family visits. Just grabbing a quick min at the pc to see how you're all doing. Congrats on the bfps!

I think I had an anovulatory cycle. eycm went on for ages I never got to take a proper temp because ds's sleep v v bad so never actually had a 3hour sleep! So don't know for sure, but every so often see another bit of cm even now. So absolutely no idea when af due.

Good luck everyone testing over the next few days. I'll be popping in whenever I can. Can't believe how busy I am at the mo!

babylove123 · 26/12/2006 22:45

Merry Christmas to everyone, hope everyone had a nice time (even if got BFN's )

going away for a couple of days now catch up when im back!

MrsMcClaus · 26/12/2006 23:07

ImpatientElf - hope a BFP sneaks up on you when you are unawares! x

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 27/12/2006 09:57

Morning all,

Well af arrived this morning so will have to start talking to dh nicely now! I think secretly he would really like another but doesn't want to admit it!! I'll keep working out the timings as he has said that I can go without contraception!
Oh well at least I can go and give blood later without worrying.

babylove123 · 27/12/2006 11:23

Hey Whoops, sorry to hear AF came Better luck next month!

Well i did another test this morn, this time a boots and it was BFN confused now, must be reading the other 1 i did wrongly with the pink line.......strange.

Next AF due 2nd Jan (i asume!) so i'm gonna test after that if it doesnt come. If it hasnt come by w/C 8th Jan, im going back for investigations.......off to in-laws now so catch up when back

MrsMcClaus · 27/12/2006 17:48

Sorry Whoops about AF and Babylove, really hope you find out what is going on soon x

fettle · 27/12/2006 19:31

Hi All

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas?

Well we are back from our time away and just wanted to let you all know as you've been so great that unfortunately baby/festivefettle has lost her festiveness and her baby.

After a week of bleeding, I came home to a negative test this afternoon. I can't believe quite how excited I was a short 10 days ago. 2 mc in a year, can't say 2006 has been the best for me.

Anyway, we have my brother's wedding to go to over the weekend, so at least I can have a drink or two then and on Sunday for New Year. Here's hoping that 2007 is luckier for us all on the babyfront.

I'm off to the doctor's tomorrow in the morning as planned, but as I had a BFN this afternoon, I assume that it has all finished naturally, so hopefully I won't need any operations this time and we can get on with trying again as soon as possible.

Take care all,
Congraluations to you Kitkat - I do so hope your little one sticks.

Good Luck to all who are still waiting to test this month.

I may pop over to the hoping for Jan, but I think it more likely to be Feb and I may take a break for a while as I do think not stressing about it all too much is the way to go.

Sorry, I seem to have gone on way too long.

x

XmassyCharlotte · 27/12/2006 19:57

Sorry to hear your news fettle, and that you've had to go through such highs and lows.

Here's to a better 2007 - I'll certainly drink to that... 2006 was a bit of an 'annus horriblis' for me too xx

decorativeD2Bmum · 27/12/2006 20:42

oh babyfettle i am so so sorry this isnt the news you want too hear over the xmas break. i hope dp shows you a lot of support and we are all hear if you need to talk and let off steam.

i hope 2007 is your year and in the new year we are all toasting to a new year, new start with all our little ones! xxx

MrsMcClaus · 27/12/2006 20:44

Oh Fettle, NO! I am so sorry, I cannot imagine how you feel but you have my thoughts and I really hope 2007 is a much better year. Enjoy the wedding and make sure you see 2006 out with a bang. I hope that that is the end of things medically and that you can try again asap. Huge hugs.

whoopsfallenoveragain · 27/12/2006 20:51
