Does anyone have af for two days and then stop for a day? I'm cd3 and nothing now!

ArchiesMamaBird · 07/03/2017 11:46

Rainbow I did last month, and it was really light for those 2 days too, where as the month before it was really heavy for 3 days. Just another one of those mysteries regarding the female body I think!

Hippychic79 · 07/03/2017 11:50

My periods are pretty light - that's why I've been eating spinach & watercress home made soup .... it helps build blood xxx

Hippychic79 · 07/03/2017 11:54

emh glad you like my little round up Smile I'm no expert with opks but we did chat about it on the thread a while back and apparently sometimes you get a second surge ... this is normal and another reason why people sometimes are getting their bfp's xxxx

Hippychic79 · 07/03/2017 11:54

Sorry that mean to read - why people aren't getting their bfp's ... cuz they miss the second surge when they stop testing xxx

Oops!! Sorry on my phone. Just saw the blue and the ones I normally see/use are blue for pregnancy and green for OPK.

Anna2006 · 07/03/2017 12:43

@Charley2016. Boo at the negative test! Hate the stark white ones! When are you expecting her majesty to arrive?

9DPO - no symptoms to report. Boobs are not sore like they were with my first pregnancy at this stage so always sign myself off - actually relieves some anxiety to already think ahead on next month. I'm just waiting out for AF on Saturday I think..

CakesALot · 07/03/2017 12:44

It's a chai latte hippy. My absolute fave!

Hippychic79 · 07/03/2017 12:51

Yum yum :)) aforementioned watercress n spinach soup xxx

Anna Try not to get disheartened by your lack of symptoms... from what I've read and ascertained from my friends with kids, not having symptoms is equally as common. Common on cycle buddy .... let's graduate Saturday :)

Cakes I do like a chai latte, good choice

Anna2006 · 07/03/2017 13:02

I know Hippy. I'm trying!! It's so hard when you have something to compare it to.

Had a chat with DH this morning & he agreed it's equally shit we haven't been lucky again yet and agreed we can try some pre seed next month to see if that makes any difference.

My thinking is his swimmers might be getting there anyway so could not make a difference. Maybe my eggs are just duff - only like 50% of our eggs are any good supposedly. What good is that!! I need a good egg to pop out!

Charley2016 · 07/03/2017 13:18

Anna meant to be tomorrow but I think she will make an appearance today. I've heard lots of people having completely different symptoms in each pregnancy so try not to stress hun. What cycle are you on now?

Hippy soup looks lush. Never tried watercress soup before, need to give it a go.

Hippychic79 · 07/03/2017 13:23

I know it's hard hun, but try not to compare it....
okay I'll give you a silly example.... every week i cook the same stew in the same way with exactly the same ingredients ..... it tastes slightly different each week and i have no idea why, it's just a mystery. OK so I am trying to lighten things up here .... is it working?

PMA for Anna

  1. You've done it once, you can do it again
  2. You're DH is on board with TTC and you are able to talk to him about it
  3. You have a cool cycle buddy

Don't think glass half empty ... think glass half full ....

If we're calling sperm Doreen .... what shall we call eggs?

Charley - the soup is delicious, it's spinach & watercress, i recommend it.

FX the bitchy witch stays away... but i always think if she's coming - 'come early and then fack off so i can get onto the next cycle'....

Thank you Hippy your right. I need to try not compare. Above realistic but try keep a bit of hope.
I have done it once and it WILL happen again. Only time will tell.

@Charley2016 I am on cycle 4 ATM (technically cycle 5 since mc with unprotected sex) but we didn't go at it the first month as I was meant to wait for first AF before trying. It's been 5 months since we lost the baby though,time just seems to be slipping away. I thought I would be pregnant by now 😂😩 how naive of me!

Never mind! Onwards and upwards. Maybe I'm due a xmas baby lol x

Rainbowsockstoday · 07/03/2017 13:58

Struggling with pma and wondering if it's worth it as my current DC is being a struggle at night (means no sleep which is bad for ttc and no DTD which is worse). Plus when I asked on mn about help with sleep loads of other people made out like I was a crappy mum for allowing him to get to 2 without teaching him to sleep! Need a sleep solution by Thursday night or Friday latest so dh and I can do our thing!

ArchiesMamaBird · 07/03/2017 14:14

Rainbow Ugh I can't stand all the perfect MN mums who's toddlers have been sleeping through since 3 weeks old blah blah blah. I've read an amazing book by Sarah Ockwell-Smith called 'The Gentle Sleep Book' which basically explains that children haven't physically got the ability to sleep through until the age of 4, and there's new research to show that sleep training (ie leaving your child to cry) is so bad for children as they grow up (they have emotional/relationship/trust issues). She suggests letting your toddler sleep in your room/bed if that is what they want and need, or you sleeping with them in their room. My DS is quite sensitive and such a Mommy's Boy and sleeps so much better in bed with us. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but you just need to find the solution that suits you family best Smile
