Waving the witch off and starting afresh.. Buddies welcome!

[DrMum83]

Wondering if anyone wants a buddy?
I'm ttc #2 (DD 13m)
Just finishing AF and embarking on cycle 2

Come shove 2 fingers to the back of the witch and let's count down to O and POAS psychotically in a few weeks...

I'm going all out this month with SMEP, pressed, EPO, OPKs....

I can definite see a mark where the positive line would be on the first one but I really don't know whether it's a line or just the mark on the test!! Hmmmm. Are you going to test everyday now?! I'll study again once I've sent this! I'm loving the idea of POASporn though. I absolutely love a good BFP!!

Nice to hear from you Mimi. Sorry H is being an arse though. Sometimes I think how much happier I would be if I was a lesbian haha! Hope he stops pissing you off soon!! Thanks for the good luck wishes too!

It was a real time update so I poas at lunchtime (exactly - why the hell did i do that!?) not due til next Monday so it's way way too early. Will keep you posted....

Ohno aww thank you, I've never had a poas dedicated to me before !! I can see a line on that last one, albeit very faintly. Eeeeeeeeeek! Need regularly updates now though, get your FRER's out soon!

Hi mimi hug. I've missed you! I'm sorry you've been feeling down I've been feeling a bit the same the last few days. Keep smiling hun.

Did someone say frer??

I did a frer and literally within a couple of seconds the faintest of shadows came up but it's gone now (about 15 mins later)

Think it's too faint to even show in a photo but for the purposes of expanding our poas porn collection here it is!

Hahaha I love that you've cracked a FRER out!!! How many have you got in the stash?! The only POAS porn I can add is my BFP from last time. Not sure it counts though?!

Sorry you feel shit minty

Sorry, you didn't even say you'd been feeling shit. I might have over dramatised that. But sorry you're feeling a bit down. Is it the uncertainty of your cycle?

Sunny there are three in my stash and I am saving one for sat so did another free this morning, 9dpo - can't really see in the pic but there's def a little line there but I really don't think it's pink, but did appear within the timeframe. No other symptoms apart from being tired but that's because I have a sick ds! Wish this was all easier, need to know whether my girly lunch can be a boozy one!

How's everyone else?

Frustrating. But hopefully the next few days will go quick! I had a little bit of spotting last night and this morning. Just a very very small pink bit. I'm only about 8dpo so I really hope it's not the start of AF. But equally I don't think it's going to be implantation either. So I've kind of resigned myself to AF arriving. On the plus side I'm absolutely knackered at the minute because DS is having some really dodgy nights so it definitely wouldn't be a bad thing if AF did come and I had chance to catch up before the horror of pregnancy! I think my biggest disappointment would just be that I have to go through more TWWs!

I hope your DS gets better soon ohno.

Hope everyone else is ok too

9dpo ohno, that can be a little early because count down to pregnancy says it's the day implantation is most likely .l would boozy just a little hun, to stay sane. Hope ds gets better soon.

sunny, that is exciting. It could be implantation. So a few more days and you will know. Everything crossed for you.

I have been having problems with H and have decided to take a break ttc until I know I can have another dc with this selfish man. Hope u don't mind me staying around.

On the upside, just lost 3kgs to date so soon I can be tormenting H in little sexy numbers

Waves minty and drmum

I really don't know what to think to be honest!!

It sounds very sensible to put TTC on hold then mimi. Hope you get everything sorted! Congratulations on the weight loss. I'll be honest though, I'll have to google how much 3kgs is in lbs!! Are you not in the UK?!

Ooh 6lb, well done!!

Hi!!

Ffs, had shite few days. Just got back from the hospital, my DD was admitted earlier today because of fever and dehydration, luckily they discharged us an hour ago but we're all knackered. She's ok, just really run down, ear infection, teeth etc
Me and DH have had a huge row over nothing really (dick ) think we're just both stressed. Aaah I totall get where you're coming from mimi with dickhead husbands!! Glad to see you're back, you had better not go anywhere and I hope things settle with u and DH.
So pissed off. Had a bfn yesterday but faint bfp this morning and now very slight spotting. Hate my stupid body. Don't know what the hell is going on and I'm not having sex with my nob of a husband so sod ttc!!
I guess I'm as frustrated as you minty? bless you!! How are you doing? Are you heading towards dtd again and opks?

As for ohno I think that's promising, I remember with my DD I got a grey 'evap' 8dpo and then a bfp 10dpo, I'd be cautiously optimistic if I were you lovely!!
Chickenpox is dangerous throughout pregnancy, although most scary in first trimester and late on. It's only a concern if the preg woman has never had chickenpox. If you're not sure, your GP can check your antibodies which will test to see if you're immune. If you're not, they can give you injections of antibodies if pregnant to protect you. If you've a clear history of having had it, you're fine.
sunny - Dd is sprouting teeth 11&12. I seriously hate every bastard tooth in her head. Hope you're ok, how's the spotting? I had brown spotting in that last pregnancy leading up to bfp, I know it ended in miscarriage but I don't think the spotting was anything to do with it.

Did anyone notice this thread disappeared earlier??

(Sorry about the sweariness, I'm pissed off)

Morning! That sounds really scary with your daughter DrMum. I hope she's better soon. Have they given her anything to take at home or does she just have to rest as much as a 16 month old will? Sorry to hear your husband is being a dick as well. Last thing you need is more bloody stress. How annoying with the BFP as well. Sounds like your body is taking a bit of time to get back to normal again Do you think you might have OVed or have you given up guessing? That's a lot of teeth isn't it. Has she been bad with them all?

Spotting was pretty none existent yesterday afternoon but I am thinking it's probably going to turn in to AF in the next few days. I don't know what's going on with this cycle really. But DS has been a nightmare with his sleep the last few weeks so to be honest I think I'll be relieved not to be pregnant. I really didn't want to go in to it so stressed out so I'm hoping I'll be better next month. Plus the dates from next month onwards would work a lot better for us anyway. This was just a bit of a trial month!!

Hope everyone else is ok

I'm so ill. I have the hideous fluey symptoms of the first days of a cold I think, feverish, shaky, headache, lethargic. Luckily my son came home and went to nap - my DH said this morning j could have a sick day but there seems to be no sign of help so not sure who he expects to look after the child. Ffs.

I thought I had three frers but I can't find the third and my eBay stash hasn't arrived so no update today. Had stabbing pains from low right pelvis to between my legs during the many night wake ups last night but it's gone now. Prob related to my bug.

Will read and reply properly later when I can find enough energy to use my eyes and thumbs

ohno that sounds absolutely shit. Hope you're feeling better soon

How long did your spotting last for DrMum? I remember it starting on the Friday evening and carrying on in small amounts until the Tuesday ish with my last BFP. It's pissing me off now though because I'm prepared for AF to arrive but whilst nothing much is developing I keep thinking there's still a chance, even though I know that's it's so very unlikely

I didn't notice the thread had gone but saw a post with someone saying that the June bus had disappeared as well so MN must have been having a bit of a cock up!!

Drmum how's your daughter now? Scary times.

Thanks also for the info on chickenpox. I saw some other fitness yesterday and they've just found out a relative has it so it's coming at us from all directions. I've def had it though when I was 4 or 5 so should be fine. Not that I'm feeling at all preg today so not an issue!

Turns out my frers did arrive and husband moved them from the doormat. Can't even muster the energy to pee right now.

Sunny I had spotting last time too but was just one wipes worth of slight brown staining on the tissue, wouldn't call it proper "spotting" as such.

My husband has been a monumental cock this afternoon. There's def something in the air. I hate all of them.

How are you feeling today ohno? AF is starting this morning so I'm on to cycle 2 I think. I'm a bit concerned that I started spotting at 8dpo and AF has arrived at 10dpo. I don't know if that's classed as a luteal phase defect. But I'm going to just put it down to a stressful month and carry on as normal for next month!

I don't feel down at all really. I'm hoping to be much better during the next TWW!

How are you minty? Have you had OV signs?

Hope you're on a BFN today DrMum.

Sorry for af sunny and glad you are positive about the new cycle. You must look into eating kiwis before ov then pineapples during lp and Brazil nuts each day. Have only just started but it was suggested by another lady on a thread I'm on and I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

How are you feeling today ohno, sending .did you manage to poas today fx,

Drmum hope your ds is recovering. A speedy recovery to the little chap. How are you and ttc now. Hope your oh is behaving. Mine apologized and is taking me out tonight, vodka and lemonade here I come.

Minty, hope you are feeling better lovely. Where are you in the cycle now, you are about a week ahead so on with the sexathon

Morning ladies, seems like ages ago since I last posted. How is everyone doing? I hope you are feeling a bit better by now ohno, and sorry about AF sunny, it's rubbish but at least you know where you are and can crack on. Start of a fresh cycle. And here just because you can! Ohno whats the latest with you lovely? Did your Ebay stash arrive?

Drmum aw gosh, I hope DD is feeling a bit better and DH has returned to being un-knobheadish! What is it with all the dickheadishness this week! Luckily mine has been brilliant, I'd have really struggled if he had been in dickhead mode with feeling like I had been. Anyways, onwards and upwards!

Mimi so pleased DH has apologised and is taking you out . I shall be joining you with a couple of vodkas tonight, mmmm!

I'm CD9, the OPKs are out again now. Stupid Ovia reckons I am in my fertile window now, I can't understand why when the last months have been spot on with ewcm. Maybe something to do with my very short AF. But I am definitely not yet, don't have ewcm and my opk this morning was negative. Haven't been dtd much the last couple of weeks so we've a lot of catch up on .

Happy friday ladies

Still ill. Still bfn which means I'm def out this month. Got bfp on 11dpo last time and that's what I am now. Gutted.

Even too ill for vodka - bad times.

AF has stopped again!! I was so sure she was starting this morning. No idea what's going on with this cycle. Typical it all goes crazy as we start TTCing. I think tomorrow will probably be CD1.

Mimi I used to have grapefruit juice in the first half of the cycle and pineapple juice in the second half. No idea if it made any difference but I'll start it again when this cycle properly starts! I have red the nuts thing as well! Hope you have a lovely night tonight and I'm glad your DH is being less of a nob!

When did you OV in previous cycles Minty? Haha hope you enjoy the DTD marathon that's heading your way! I will definitely be having some wine tonight. I had some last night to be fair because I knew AF was on her way! Just wish CD1 would hurry up and start properly.

Sorry for the BFN ohno. Hope you're feeling better soon xx

Evening!

Thanks everyone- my Dd is a lot better today, is eating and drinking as usual and is fast asleep. I feel exhausted though, work has been busy. My DH has pulled his socks up and has been much better, he did the food shop today and made me a roast tonight. I've got the faintest of faint bfps but STILL positive Opk (has been for weeks now??!!) but had some watery discharge earlier.
Stupid question but what consistency do you class as really fertile?

Sorry sunny that af starting but you never know! I had spotting (brown) for 3 days before bfp. It's so typical that cycle fucks up just as you're paying really close attention to it. Enjoy your wine!

ohno 'monumental cock' made me lol. Sorry you're feeling crap and the bfn but again, you could still be in if no witch yet? Was your bfn on a FRER?

mimi glad your DH is also being nicer and hope you have a great night out forgotten what going out feels like Are u still gonna keep ttc on hold?

minty hey lovely, missed you! Can't believe how quickly your fertile window has come round again!!

Anyone got any exciting plans for the weekend? Think we're gonna have a quiet one as this week has been so tiring. My DH is on a course tomorrow so on my tod with DD. Happy weekend!

Ooh I've missed loads!

We def have a chickenpox infected house. My son developed spots this afternoon and the pharmacist confirmed the worst. I asked if my fever etc could be related and she said not to worry as long as I wasn't preg. Great, guess I should be grateful for the bfn. And yup it was on a frer.

Sounds like everyone is a bit chirpier today and the husbands have bucked their ideas up.

So minty are you the next one to test now that me and sunny are pretty much out?

Drmum your Bfps are getting a bit ridiculous now! You must be getting so fed up. Weird about the opks being so positive.

My stash of opk and ic is nearly run out and I'm going to try and not order any more for next month. The whole thing is getting me down tbh.

Oh god I'm itching all over. It's all in my head I know but Eurgh! So in answer to the q about weekend plans - keeping out of the way of people so we don't infect them, and rubbing calamine cream all over all of us. Joys!

I'm 100% out this morning. CD1 started as expected. I'm hoping the really early spotting was a one off but I am a bit concerned about my 10 day luteal phase. I was the same when I conceived DS but I was taking conception vitamins which gave me spotting for a couple of days from 10dpo until AF properly started. I started taking them again a couple of mobs ago but I had a 41 day cycle so I stopped and I really don't want that messing about again but I'm concerned I might struggle with a 10day luteal phase. Anyone know anything about it? I've been reading that vitamin c and vitamin b6 can help in the diet so I might try and eat lots of the right food and see if that helps at all?! I don't know. DS had another shit night again though so I'm seriously glad not to be pregnant this month. I don't think I'd have coped.

Glad your DD is better now DrMum. I class the proper stretchy stuff as really fertile. I'm quite lucky in that I get a lot though, where as some people don't seem to see it and say that watery is their most fertile. I guess it's what's normal for you?

Sorry to hear about the chicken pox OhNo. Sounds seriously shit. Sorry you're feeling down about TTC too, is this your 3rd cycle now? Although you're not actually out until AF arrives are you. When are you due on? I actually ordered some OPKs yesterday. Only a few though and I'll see how I feel about using them. I really want a much less stressful month next month. I think I ordered there when I was stressing about my LP.

My plans for the weekend are surviving being knackered at the minute!! Hope you all have a good one.
