pulled mimi f1ddle Sorry for the BFNs, it's a gutting feeling isn't it.

loki the miscarriage association website is really good and they have a helpline too, I didn't call myself but I'm told it is very good. Just in case you didn't know about it xx I was the opposite to you, absolutely desperate to get going again, but I think it's different for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with waiting a while if that makes it easier for you. It's so hard when people minimise the distress caused. It's the loss of the future that I found most difficult - knowing that everything would now be different. But it does get better, I promise. Flowers. Take care xx

Sock monster you are pregnant! All of my frer BFP'S looked like that! Congratulations x

Loki17 · 30/01/2016 21:33

Thanks everyone. I'm ok. I feel like I really want to get pregnant again I'm just terrified. I've done an opk and it's negative. I'm hoping that now i know there's no chance of getting pregnant I can just get on with dtd.

Writerwannabe83 · 30/01/2016 21:40

Hello, can I join please.

DS is 22 months old and two days ago I had my Mirena out. I'm currently having the withdrawal bleed and once that has passed TTC will commence.

I have got OPKs all ready and waiting as since my Mirena went in my periods have been all over the place so wouldn't have a clue when ovulation was occurring.

Good luck to everyone on here Flowers

jennielm · 31/01/2016 00:06

Hi all,

I'm currently on cd5 of cycle 2 and AF still visiting. She better be gone by tomorrow!! Gonna speak to DH about OPK as I'm not strong enough to take months of disappointment based on guesses. Not to mention my age being a factor if any medical intervention was needed.

Fx for those still to test. Hugs to those with BFN for now. Baby dust to all.xx

f1ddlesticks · 31/01/2016 20:38

Good luck Loki, wishing you all the best...

Welcome Writer, I remember you from pregnancy threads last time round (have NC since). My DD is 5 months older than your DS then... Hope your cycles sort themselves out quickly!

Hope AF goes quickly Jennie. I'm 38 so I know what you mean about age being a factor. I don't really like OPKs but I find temping really useful because you can tell once you actually have ovulated but others swear by the sticks. Whatever you feel most comfortable with!

AF hasn't shown up yet here. Had a temp rise this morning - I'm trying not to let it gets my hopes up after yesterday's BFN. Still only 12dpo though, and still getting these weird skipped heart beats which have only happened this month. Who knows, I'll find out soon enough I guess...

Loki17 · 31/01/2016 21:01

Dh and I finally dtd yesterday. Once we got started it was easy to lose myself so wasn't as anxiety inducing as I was fearing. Poor dh. He has been so patient and understanding but has genuinely looked like he is walking on air today! Really hoping af shows up in the next week or so and I can start to track my cycles again. I still feel really wobbly about ttc. but now that we've dtd I feel less anxious. Thanks everyone Flowers

Hopelass · 01/02/2016 07:14

Good luck Loki Thanks
Hello newbies and good luck on your ttc journey

Yet again I haven't read back yet , I promise I will and say hi to everyone. I've just got a quick question ..... Positive opk today on cd17 instead of the usual cd18-19 but DP is away working tonight! Could we leave dtd until tomorrow night or should I try and jump on him before he leaves at lunchtime?! I think I know the answer!
If I'm correct ov should happen 12-36 hours from opk and then the egg can live up to 12 hours so if we dtd in 36 hours (tomorrow night) we are still in with a chance?? Thanks in advance

CocklesandMussels · 01/02/2016 07:20

Monday morning again, how did that happen? And CD24. I'm terrified...
hopelass I think you're right about calculating the time, but personally I reckon it's a risky strategy. If it were me, I reckon I'd be jumping on DH asap just to be sure. Then again 24 hours later. Maybe I'm just desperate though...
Welcome newbies and fx for everyone

Hopelass · 01/02/2016 07:41

Thanks cockles I think you're right. If we want to be in with a chance best do all we can! Fx for you!!

hey all,
cd43 here now and AF was due 13 days ago but still no sign! still getting a BFN Sad the wait is exhausting.

loki glad to hear your back in the game Smile fx for you for a easy time ahead x

mimi f1ddlesticks sock keeping my fx for a BFP for u all x

jennie hope the wicked witch leaves s soon so you can get on with DTD x

Gx ((( hugs ))) hope u feel better soon and watching disney sounds like my kind of day x

hope Totally agree u must jump on him just in case don't take the chance Wink

kellz hope the sickness goes away soon x

cockles u testing soon? fx for a BFP for you x

I've officially decided to take a break as there is so much going on with my dad that has been really stressful and worrying. I don't think I'll be in a mood to DTD anytime soon. He is still in hospital and maybe going for another op Sad

Kellz92 · 01/02/2016 14:06

Gx I never even noticed dont worry haha!

Im hoping its a good sign as even though i wasnt trying for DD i remember feeling ill for 3 weeks before my BFP. AF was 5 days late by this point. But since i found out on the honeymoon i put the sickness down to Wedding until i had my BFP obviously lol. Im having mild cramps today but nothing major.

Really hoping this is my month! Hubby keeps saying he wishes we would just get pregnant bless him!!

Thanks Pulled Have you spoken to your GP? thats really horrible for you. :( Hope your dads okay! maybe the stress is mucking up your cycle? i hope that you get your BFP but that may be a factor

xx

Loki17 · 01/02/2016 19:46

AF has arrived today. It's cd1 for me once again.

Kellz92 · 01/02/2016 21:42

Awwww no Hun sorry to hear that xx

CocklesandMussels · 01/02/2016 21:51

Back in the saddle loki, wishing you much luck this time.
pulled I hope you get an answer soon. Must be so frustrating.
I'm too scared to test!

Loki17 · 01/02/2016 21:58

cd1 is a good thing! I've been waiting for af. now I can start to track my cycles again. I think we are going to start to ttc again once af is out of the way.

f1ddlesticks · 01/02/2016 22:11

Sorry Pulled, the not knowing what's going on with your cycle must be super stressful, on top of everything with your dad. I don't blame you for taking a little break - just to give yourself a bit of head space.

Well done Loki for getting back in the saddle - and good news AF has come, at least is a starting point for you.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Good luck Cockles!

Nothing to report here - AF is due tomorrow, let's see what happens.

mummy2Lills · 01/02/2016 22:58

Any advuce please!? TTC #2. Came of pill 10/15 but still had regular cycles except Nov had what seems AF x2. Last mp started 3-6 Jan 2015 meaning AF due 31/01/16 on my 28 day cycle. Had 2 hpt -ve including today 1/2/16. Had lots of cramps as well as early preg symptoms

CocklesandMussels · 02/02/2016 08:17

Hi mummy welcome! So you're about three days late for AF? I reckon maybe wait another five days or so then test again if no AF. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

mummy2Lills · 02/02/2016 08:47

Thank you I will let you guys know. Got a +very first time testing last time! never realized how hard the wait can be

theAntsareMyFriends · 02/02/2016 11:25

kellz I hope the nausea is a good sign. I think we are both testing this week so will keep double fingers crossed.

Also fiddlestick I'm hoping AF has stayed away. Are you testing today?

I'm the worst for symptom spotting. I was actually googling coughing as a symptom at the weekend. Apparently it could be but then again it could just be a cough! I got all excited as I had bleeding gums on Saturday (was a definite feature of my PG with DS) but since then no signs at all.

I had one of those teary breakdowns to DP yesterday. I haven't been telling him quite how much it was effecting me as didn't want to stress him but so glad I told him as i realised he's disappointed and upset about it all too. At least it feels like we are in it together. Don't know why I hadn't really talked to him about it before.

Kellz92 · 02/02/2016 12:47

Well done Loki Good Luck TTC.

Good luck Cockles

F1ddles Fx for you!

Mummy welcome, and Id test again in a few days. Good luck!

theAnts I hope its a good sign too. Fed up feeling crap, but ill be happy if its been worth it.
Glad you spoke to your DP. My DH said last week, he wishes we could just get pregnant.

Tested last night and obv BFN is i have until Monday to wait lol
