Hi everyone
CD 24
8/9 dpo
Just done a first response and there is not even a hint of a second line Sad

No nice surprise for DH birthday.

Period due this Saturday.

Might test every morning now, we shall see. Feeling a bit deflated now as really believed I was pregnant.

Spotting has completely stopped so I have no clue what is going on. Really hope it's just too early...

Hope you are all ok.

Summerblush1982 · 06/06/2016 12:52

Awww PS, sorry to hear. But probably too early. Your symptoms seemed promising.
I've got the heavy sore boobs ahead of AF! Let's hope you're right Tee! I'm feeling deflated too! Couldn't have Dtd anymore than I could! I think I need to start a healthier lifestyle and make major adjustments to what I eat! I'm thinking of going dry this month, see if that helps! So warm outside though, all I can think of is a drink in the garden!!!

Hello ladies - lovely sunny day!

Congrats Lucy Wow long time to wait for a BFP in that cycle. When do u think u ovulated? Any symptoms you had?

Mimi- remember what I said about when I went to my gp and how I got referral to gynae. Maybe u should try it. At first they said they couldn't refer me as I already had children but because I was getting terrible cramping around ov attempts they then did. I did "over do" the agony.. And said I thought I was in early menopause (said a few symptoms) and on this basis they have to refer you. As if u are in early m/p they need to help hormones otherwise risk of osteoporosis. Luckily when I saw gynae he was lovely man and I told him I really wanted another baby so that's why he wanted to give me clomid to help kick start ov at the right time to take away all the pain. Also they have to do scans bloods etc.. To check all possible problems. So was worth it. Im sure everything is fine but sometimes you relax more knowing it is when u see it in writing.
How old are u?

Ps-sorry for your bfnFlowershoping you will get a surprise in a couple more days time.

Footprints1 · 06/06/2016 13:45

Sorry summer too but AF not with u so there's still a chance. I got a positive opk day before AF arrived and first day of AF. So it can happen, but also heard opk can be positive when preg. Don't give up hope yet.

Radders- lol with your dog situation. Jealous doggy! We seem to get interrupted by the kids getting up for loo. Hope tww going fast for you. Any symptoms?

Jem/Jodders hope you are well and in good spirit this week.

Nim-* tip for camping next week is to take lots of activities and distractions for the kids! And a tissue into the woods so you don't drop out the swimmers on way back to camp.

Tee-I'm def more relaxed about the timing now, as I do feel there's other factors against me so need to just go with it. Still doing a pink diet! But my cm is plenty so I'm ok. The clomid suppose to dry u up mega, so going to buy some sperm friendly lube if I need it. Luckily so far DH is playing ball this cycle now he's back .My tip on this was to sit and tell him a make believe fantasy checklist to suit upcoming events incase I need to dtd in fertile time ie- in the woods, in car, at a party etc.. So far he is fulfilling them and thinks I'm a right horny minx. Ha ha Grin

Hi to anyone else I've forgotten or missed. Hard to keep up when you have been away.

Footprints1 · 06/06/2016 13:46

CD 15Star

Did an opk today and totally neg so I think i ovulated was whilst I were away. On Thursday & Friday there was a dark line and Temp was low. Temp up today. Will see if it stays up.

Dtd cd 11, 13, 14. Not sure that's going to be enough! But hey ho.. I had terrible cramping last month every ovulation attempt and this time hardly anything just few twinges, sensitive boobs and EWCM. Possibly my hormones are almost back to norm? So I have a dilemma.. The drugs I was given to bring on AF this month I'm suppose to start next week so I can start clomid week after, but I'm not sure I can take if preg? So how would I know? Wondering whether to wait to see if AF arrives or if that will mess up my dates!?! So much to think about!

Lucy1308 · 06/06/2016 14:48

I think I had two surges footprints! I had what I thought was a +ve OPK on CD13/14 so around the first week in May. Then I had repeated BFNs when AF should have been due until about a week afterwards when I got some dull right sided pain and did OPKs. Better positive OPK that time (although not great, think I must have a short surge) and had somehow managed to DTD at the right time. I reckon I OVed about the 23rd May so I'm bob on 4 weeks today. AF technically not due until tomorrow I suppose but I'm trying to think positive!! Have had no symptoms whatsoever unless you count horrid spots (which I do occasionally suffer from anyway) and now I've noticed slightly sore nipples on an evening, but nothing drastic. No nausea yet, maybe slightly tired in an afternoon but that's not unusual for me since we get up before 5am and often don't get to bed until after 10pm!! So basically I'm of no help to all you guys whatsoever, but I have my fingers firmly crossed for you all!!

Summerblush1982 · 06/06/2016 19:29

Not done another test so I'm going to wait for AF to arrive. Had cm today. (Tmi) and also sore boobs like AF is gearing up for an entry!

Summerblush1982 · 06/06/2016 20:40

Lucy, not that it makes any difference but what pregnancy tests were you using to get bfn's? Did you do a first response?

ps2304 · 06/06/2016 22:00

CD24 Star
Tiny bit more brown spotting tonight. Spotting has Only been found when I check internally, not enough to to have to wear a liner or anything. Period due 11/12th. Feeling extremely bloated and sore boobs. Can someone please tell me what is going on!!!!

Lucy1308 · 06/06/2016 22:35

I tried ICs but didn't trust them so did several FRERs and all the same result. I did think I had a squinter at one point but must have been a crappy evap. I'm clearly a freak of nature with two LH surges!! Although it's probably as this is only my first cycle since the coil so that could have stuffed things up for me. At the moment I've got a remarkable quantity of creamy CM- I don't think I've ever felt anything like it!!

Summerblush1982 · 06/06/2016 23:10

Ladies, try this: according to this I tested early on Sunday. Potentially. Add your dates and see what comes up.

mplantation is the beginning of pregnancy at which stage the embryo adheres to the wall of the uterus. At this early stage of prenatal development, the embryo is called a blastocyst. Implantation of a fertilized ovum is most likely to occur about 9 days after ovulation, but can range between 6 to 12 days.
Use this calculator to find the most likely date range for implantation based on your cycle:
Your Results

Estimated Ovulation Date: May 26, 2016
Day Past Ovulation Date Probability of Implantation
6 DPO Jun. 1, 2016 Less Common
7 DPO Jun. 2, 2016 Common
8 DPO Jun. 3, 2016 Common
9 DPO Jun. 4, 2016 Most Common
10 DPO Jun. 5, 2016 Common
11 DPO Jun. 6, 2016 Common
12 DPO Jun. 7, 2016 Less Common
13 DPO Jun. 8, 2016 Less Common
Signs of Implantation
Signs and symptoms of implantation can be very similar to those of PMS so it can be hard to distiguish between the two. Many women do not experience any symptoms of implantation, however, a few will show some of the following signs: mild cramps around time of implantation, change in basal body temperature (a slight drop around implantation followed by a rise) or light bleeding or spotting around time of implantation.

Taking a Pregnancy Test
If implantation were to occur on the most common day (9 DPO - Jun. 4, 2016) the earliest an early pregnancy test is likely to show a positive result would be: Jun. 6, 2016 to Jun. 8, 2016
hCG (the pregnancy hormone) doubles every 2-3 days during the first several weeks of pregnancy. Give it some time to build up so the test can detect it.

Footprints1 · 06/06/2016 23:34

Thanks for that summer. Useful info there. So you could still be in with a chance, and PS.

Lucy- I had quite a few surges last month, hormones were all over the place from me coming off the pill. Seems much better this cycle so far..
You were lucky to have caught the second one, well done! Creamy Cm seems to be a big symptom when pregnant it seems. Perfectly normal.

raddersmrs · 07/06/2016 06:48

CD19Star5 dpo

Lucy have you done any more tests since the ones you posted on here? Creamy CM is definitely a symptom.

Jem hope you're enjoying your holiday and don't feel so stressed now. I'm not sure about short term stress having an effect. Although I was pretty stressed last month and didn't conceive even after dtd lots so I do think it plays a part.

Tee hope you're ok and tww isn't dragging

Footprints that's a good idea about doing a fantasy list. Makes it more exciting!

Tww is starting to drag for me now. I just want to know. Argh. We are away this weekend in London so least my mind will be taken off it. No symptoms at all but wouldn't expect any. I'm
Not symptom spotting as I had lots last month but BFN.

Mimi sorry AF has shown. Have you spoken to the doctor?

Summer I'm with you on that. My diet is pretty rubbish and wondering if that's impeding me getting pregnant. I'm at a healthy BMI but I think it's what you put into your body that counts. I think you probably tested too early

Ps maybe your tested too early as well.
How many dpo are you now do you think?

I've noticed this month my boobs have been more tender - that's throughout the month though

Frer negative this am
More dark brown spotting overnight. Feel very very period like this morning. Maybe that's just going to come early for the first time? Due on in 4/5 days... Confused

ps2304 · 07/06/2016 07:20

Looking back at my ovia i have had a little brown Spotting on and off since last Thursday. Seems the be the most this morning. Still wouldn't need a liner or anything. Could this still be implantation or is it more likely just a messed up cycle?

Lucy1308 · 07/06/2016 08:49

Radders I did another couple and panicked because they weren't darker. And then yesterday afternoon's one was a really good line but didn't remember to photograph it until it was dry. Reassuring to get a line on afternoon pee after a short hold. Have bought some CB digis so will do one of those maybe tomorrow or Thursday and hopefully will get a good result!! I feel entirely normal today, nothing really going on apart from the fact that my nipples seem to spend all of their life as hard as bloody bullets at the moment!! Unusual for me but not exactly a mind blowing symptom haha!

Summerblush1982 · 07/06/2016 12:28

I did an FR this morning too and it was a BFP. AF due Thursday so will wait and see. Boobs are aching like they do usually before AF.

Footprints1 · 07/06/2016 13:06

Summer- you put BFP ? Are you preggers or did you mean bfn? I'm getting excited for you but just want to double check you mean BFP ?? ...........

Tee4me · 07/06/2016 16:19

CD18Star4DPO
Ooo Summer BFP or BFN??
Footprints have you thought anymore about your options in terms of starting the drugs? If it were me I'd be inclined to see if this month was successful before starting, you DTD x3 in FW which I think is a pretty good shot?! Perhaps a phone call into your gyno would help? Clarify that there is a chance you conceived this month and see what he suggests?
Wouldn't it be nice to get a BFP in time for Father's Day? I'd be tempted to put the test in hubby's card from DS, but then I really am letting my imagination run away! Shouldn't think like that yet! I know what you mean Radders, why can't we just know now?! 2ww dragging as usual!

Summerblush1982 · 07/06/2016 17:03

Ohhhh sorry guys!! I meant bfn!!! :-(

Jodders · 07/06/2016 19:18

CD 11 Star
Hi ladies, feeling much better about TTC last couple of days. Still taking the wayyyyy relaxed approached, not doing any OPKs, temping or symptom spotting but sneakily checked FF and my FW starts today and I did have a suspicion that was the case as I have been randy all day. So we had a quick SS this afternoon!

Before today though we haven't done very well with the BDing so fresh sperm is unlikely to be there.

So much going on here it's hard to keep up! A lot of you are in the dreaded wait it seems! Can't wait for all of your announcements.

Congratulations Lucy.

Ps* I'm checking all the time to see if there is any update from you! Fx.

Summer i got super excited with your typo! Still keeping everything crossed for you.

Footprints if you conceive you will have to consider naming baby after place of conception. I recommend Bear or Woodie for a boy. Anyone any suggestions for a girl?

Tee I have a good feeling about you this month!

Nim my cycle buddy - how's it going?

Radders - good effort with the BDing! Star for you again!

Jem - how's the holiday?

Mimi - are you ok? Have you been to GP?

Toast - did you get a definite BFP?

Sorry to anyone I forgot...

ps2304 · 07/06/2016 20:02

Quick update,

Did another test this evening and still bfn. Boohoo.

Who is next to test? Surely we are due a load of BFPs soon!!!

Footprints1 · 07/06/2016 20:08

Jodders- that was funny! You cracked me up. Maybe for a girl , twiggy, Earth, Sky, or leaf! Lol.

Summer- disappointed for your typo.. Was hoping you got a BFP.

Tee4me · 07/06/2016 20:16

Too funny Jodders! Depending on what vegetation was around; Fern, Heather, Willow, Flora... Grin
