TTC for 10 months and the rest! 10 plussers welcome! Thread 3 (the one where we all get our bfps!)

[lucieloos]

New thread ready for us chatty ladies! If you have been trying to conceive for over 10 months pop in and join us. We are a friendly bunch!

I really have no idea what it is. It could be progesterone, implantation or af. Apparently it's perfect timing for implantation but I really don't think I would be that lucky. It's impossible to tell. It's stopped for a little bit now. I will soon know tomorrow as sometimes my af starts with a bit of spotting the night before and then is full flow by the morning! Yikes.

Lucie - I was thinking implantation. Keeping everything crossed for you, maybe the immunes are doing the trick!
I'm sure it could also be progesterone irritation, I'm very sore down there although no bleeding. Did have to stop did last night because it felt like there was glass up there.... I can only imagine that's small cuts or something similar. Xx

Thanks Sammy I don't feel sore or anything down there at all but I know sometimes the pessaries can irritate the cervix. I will check again before bed x

It would be odd if it was AF this early bearing in mind it was 15 dpo before Lucie. I didn't realise you could get bleeding from the progesterone.

Lucie, you never know, and in theory that could explain the earlier bfn. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Oh Lucie, hugs to you. I'm afraid I have no advice as I've never taken progesterone but from what I've read it seems unlikely. You don't usually have a short luteal phase do you? It would be odd to be on progesterone and it get shorter. I don't want to say this i will anyway but don't respond to it but maybe it's implantation.

Whatever it is, you can definitely handle it.

I don't feel sore just sitting here, only when DH tried to.... Well you know!

Fx it is implantation bleeding! Week! Xx

*eeeek

Sorry, not sure how I cross posted with everyone just to say what everyone else said! Fingers crossed Lucie.

Oh, and welcome chocolate!

Keeping everything crossed here too Lucie!

Thanks everyone I love this amazing little group that we have! I'm in bed now getting an early night. It had eased off last time I checked but tomorrow will be the big test. Night night.

Everything crossed lucie

(squee!!)

Lucie - everything crossed for you here too, glad it's eased off. Xx

I live this group too... Don't leave me if you all get your BFPs will you?? Xx

Any news today Lucie? Xx

More love for our lovely group
Definitely not Sammy, I'm not going anywhere until we all have our BFPs.
One of the first things I thought when I woke up this morning was - I must check the thread and see if there's an update from Lucie.

Thinking of you this morning, and awaiting your update, Lucie!

Banana, I meant to say yesterday, thanks for the info about norethisterone! I think i may well take it then, as it's certainly preferable to AF on honeymoon!

I love this group too, and certainly not going anywhere til I see everyone with their bfp!

Aww you guys are amazing! We have to all stay until we all get our bfps!

I didn't have anymore spotting last night but I have been awake most of the night with af type cramps. Not just little was that a cramp type things but proper af is going to be here any second type cramps. I kept thinking to myself this isn't going to end well. They've eased slightly now and no spotting yet this morning but af can often arrive like this for me and start with a little spotting the day before then stop then bam at some point the following day there she is in full flow so I'm not feeling too hopeful but I guess only time will tell. I can't believe that I've had over a week off work and this has to happen the day I go back!

MPP, I took northisterone to delay af before one of my IVF cycles. It was fine, no side effects and af arrived 5 days after stopping so could be a good option for you.

Star, so sorry about the baby shower. It must have been awful. I went to a hen party once when I was mid IVF and all everybody did was sit around and talk about their kids. I was almost in tears at one point. Luckily I had told one of my best friends about our treatment and she changed the subject for me. I couldn't imagine going to a baby shower at this point I think I would have to politely decline.

Sammy, sorry you had a bad day in work. Hope it's a bit better today. It's such a stressful time its understandable that you broke down. Your manager is right though more often than not it doesn't happen first time around but we will all get there.

Well I ain't going anywhere, you didn't get rid of me this time and no chance of anything happening any time soon. So you're stuck with me!

Lucie if it's any comfort I generally have that 'AF is coming' feeling most days, some days more than others. Fingers firmly still crossed for you.

Fx lucie! Sending massively enormous good vibes your way.

star definitely sympathies re the baby shower. You have my sympathies. I think baby showers are effing boring at the best of times, I tend to decline them all anyway as sitting around eating cake and guessing how round someone's bump is isn't my idea of a good time. No way would I go to one now I'm going through IVF! Luckily my friends who are sprogging later seem to be a bit more normal and generally haven't had baby showers, so not many invites these days.

Oh Lucie, that sounds like a rough night. Hope it all turns out OK. Good luck!

Banana, I read your update on the mindnumbing boredom of infertility board. Crikey, that sounds so rough. So sorry you've been through such rotten times.
Also spent far too much time last night reading that thread and was gobsmacked at your troll! Well done on seeing her off so sharply.

Yeah, my friends don't really have baby showers but a couple have had "meeting up with my girls before the baby comes" lunches. Aka "baby shower". I umm'd and ahh'd but ultimately I am so pleased for this friend as I sensed she's been trying for years. She's been married 5 years and quit her city job a few years ago to move out of London etc... Someone hinted at it too, but I definitely wouldn't ask (just wildly speculate in the way I worry people do about me). Anyway, will definitely decline next time. i wasn't too sad actually, but it was just boring nodding and pretending to be fascinated by everyone's never-ending stories.

Knicker watch update! I had a tiny bit more spotting at around 10am this morning but that's been it so far. I still have mild cramps now and again and have that bloated full feeling like before af appears so who knows what's going on in there!!

Everything crossed that it is implantation Lucie - reassuring what Boris says about the 'AF is coming' feeling. Do you remember having anything like this on your first cycle?

No I don't remember anything like this and definitely no spotting. All I remember is feeling absolutely awful and like a zombie whereas this time I have felt really good throughout apart from the normal cramps, the odd headache etc.
