I'm going to try and hold out until the sunday after next (so when my af is due)... we'll see!!

Cherylttcagain · 11/07/2017 15:52

Its horrible isnt it Limp, esp when there's a second line!!! I really hope af doesnt show up on friday.

Mctufty, if you had a surge at cd33 in that firat month maybe you'll just end up with 33 day cycles, if thats the case then fingers crossed for a positive opk in a couple of days. You and I are going to end up with the same cycles this month :)

My app is saying i can test in 9 days :O I hope i can hold out a little longer.

Cherylttcagain · 12/07/2017 07:42

Urgh! dreamt AF started at 3dpo :(. So slightly worried when I went to the loo this morning!

McTufty · 12/07/2017 09:46

Oh dear cheryl! I assume no AF yet Smile What a brutal nightmare! I had AF 3dpo last month and that was no fun!

limp are you waiting till Friday rather than doing the FRER before then? I admire your willpower! The spotting could be anything, not necessarily a sign of AF. I have everything crossed!

So I'm a bit gutted as last night DH couldn't finish. Poor bloke. This has literally never happened before so it must be feeling the pressure. Problem is he was so exhausted after work if I had just tried it on in the normal way he would never have wanted to (which is fair enough) but he is also more desperate for a baby than I am so wouldn't want to miss the chance. I reassured him as best I can that it doesn't matter. I just hope that next time he's ok rather than this becoming a problem.

Luckily 4th day of flashing smiley today so not missed our chance. Might give it a go later and ditch the preseed and other stuff designed for TTC only and hope it's ok. He's out for work dinner though so won't be back till late. Confused

Maybe tomorrow won't be too late!

LimpLettice · 12/07/2017 11:38

If you're still flashing McTufty tomorrow will be just fine. DP had this issue one day last week, mainly exhaustion but is also massively keen on TTC. I think the pressure does get to them a bit. Trying to keep it lighthearted.

Ah Cheryl I had a bfp dream. No bfp though Hmm so pfft.

I'm going to pick up a frer today and try to hold off til Friday. The ASDA test yesterday really bummed me out, especially followed by spotting. My theory is if spotting was implantation then it won't show til Friday anyway. Hasn't stopped me googling shit though ha.

McTufty · 12/07/2017 12:02

Really hope it's a BFP limp! Remind me your stats, is this number 2 for you? How old is your Dc? Sorry I have a memory like a sieve!

McTufty · 12/07/2017 12:02

And yes if it's implantation which it sounds like it could be then you wouldn't show till at least Friday but possibly later so don't get disheartened if it's a BFN!

Is spotting pink or brown?

Presh12345 · 12/07/2017 12:16

Oh can anyone help. ERPC on 15 June due to a MMC. Follow up on 5 July at which point I was told "oh look! It looks like you're ovulating". Cue the phone call to husband telling him to make sure he is home at lunchtime!!
That was a week ago today. Since yesterday I have been so so hungry all the time, I have been exhausted and this morning we were in the car and i felt rough. All this is the same as before but am unsure about the timings I had all this. Surely I can't have symptoms 7dpo??
And then of course, it could be the dreaded AF, first one since the ERPC.

LimpLettice · 12/07/2017 12:16

DD 7, so number 2 for me. 40 shortly. I think 11dpo, altho I'm not totally sure. DP reminded me I thought I'd had some ov pain Saturday evening, which would tie in.

Spotting was really minimal, I checked cervix (v high and closed) and found some very light brown CM and one 5p sized dot of red. Idve missed it though I think in black pants. That was yesterday morning, and it's all gone back to yellow again. Also had a few cramps in the morning. Also (tmi) a lot of wind like pain which is most odd for me 😜

LimpLettice · 12/07/2017 12:19

Hi Presh. Sorry for your MMC. I think 7dpo is early for symptom spotting but we all do it! I'm sure I've read that the cycle after a MC is often a very fertile one so 🤞🏻

Cherylttcagain · 12/07/2017 13:45

No, no AF for me. Just a mean dream!

I do feel sorry for the hubbys/partners, its easy to get caught up in our own bodies (as most of it happens there!) but they are just as important inc their emotional state.
Mine has been away for 2 days and jokingly said he was looking forward to a break from dtd... I bet he actually meant it though!

Presh, defo early to be symptom spotting, try and keep yourself busy so you dont torture yourself with it. Sorry to hear about your mmc.

LimpLettice · 12/07/2017 15:01

That's sorta what I meant Cheryl! I dreamt it but it didn't bloody happen. Hope your AF doesn't happen either Grin

Frers purchased. Let's hope I don't crack pre Friday. Ha.

McTufty · 13/07/2017 08:51

Did you manage not to test this morning limp?!

Onto my fifth flashing smiley day. Feels like my cervix is closing up again. Really feel like I'm not going to ovulate this month and I'm really gutted Sad

LimpLettice · 13/07/2017 11:28

Oh I am totally fecked off with it all this morning McTufty. Asda test (saving the FRER's) very, very faint line, probably an evap like the Superdrug test, tiny bit more spotting this morning. I still think its a no this cycle but holding on to a teensy little hope for a FRER tomorrow. I am now very untrusting of all these tests as so many seem a but unreliable.

Don't panic yet. Cervix was all over the place that week for me but it took 9 flashing smileys to get a solid.

McTufty · 13/07/2017 13:43

Well I think you're in with a real shot limp, let us know! The waiting is awful eh?

I've had some EWCM so I'm feeling a bit more cheered that I might have an LH surge in me somewhere this month! I hope this long cycle before ovulation thing dies down the longer I'm off the pill!!

LimpLettice · 13/07/2017 14:43

The waiting sucks. I am so cheerful and carefree before ov, then seem to turn into a right negative nelly in the tww.

Good news re the EWCM. Hopefully it is a sign of a solid smiley in the next day or two. Just in time for the weekend with any luck :)

McTufty · 13/07/2017 18:31

My phone hates MN. Trying the app.

That's fabulous news MCTufty. Get to it Grin

I may have accidentally peed on an internet cheapie late this afternoon. Which displayed a very faint but clearly thick and purple line. No pic coz I was at work and didn't want to carry it back into the office. So now I think I might in actual fact be a tiny bit pregnant. Frer in the morning. Please god!

McTufty · 13/07/2017 18:47

limp

OMGOMGOMG!!!!! I have everything crossed! I'm on tenterhooks for tomorrow so can't imagine how you feel. Sounds so promising but I don't want to tempt fate so I'll just say we on this thread had better be first to know!!!

LimpLettice · 13/07/2017 18:49

I promise I'll update first thing. I'm far from convinced but that's about the 4th line I've seen this week. Was convinced all evaps but this one couldn't be. Keep em crossed for me Smile

Cherylttcagain · 13/07/2017 18:53

Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh Limp thats so exciting!!!!!!! :D :D

Mctufty, what CD is it for you? I got my positive opk on CD19. Time to get funky under the sheets ;)

EMHW123 · 13/07/2017 20:24

@LimpLettice omg! Too exciting!!!! Yayyyyy!!

Great news on the ovulating @McTufty

@Cherylttcagain how are you getting on?!

I'm coming back into my fertile window soon! The merry go round starts again! 😝

Hope you are all well!

Cherylttcagain · 13/07/2017 22:52

All good here, I've managed to not go crazy and hunt for symptoms! I'm 4dpo I reckon so still ages to go.

Aww brilliant emhw, fertile windows are the fun part ;)

LimpLettice · 14/07/2017 04:44

Cannot sleep for love nor money. 3rd time this week waking at 4am gagging for a wee.

Here is my frer. Pic after about 7 minutes. Terribly hard to get it on camera this is as best as I can do. Sorry for the scrotty nails Grin

It's still pretty faint but no squinting nec in the flesh. Just hope it's faint coz only 13dpo.
