Not sure if I should start new thread for this? Is there one open already?

I missed your post dancing. Big hugs. It will happen, the waiting is so tough, it will happen.

Does sound promising anne!

I'm not convinced this will stick. My cervix has 'disappeared' it's so high. But I'm working on the premise "today I am pregnant" and aim to keep that way of thinking. I get waves of symptoms then feel normal. My boobs aren't as sore as I think they should be! Confused

Ekphrasis · 18/06/2017 11:07

dancing there's a website called my beautiful cervix which explains everything. The high thing isn't indicative of pregnancy though as in some people it goes up much later.

NoCatsHere · 18/06/2017 12:43

ekp sounds hopeful, have everything crossed for you.
I'm cd31 and have very light brown spotting, no sign of decent af. I've never had spotting before mc. In desperation to pee on something have peed on ov strip instead but no idea if it means anything or not! I have one frer in the cupboard and when I peed on the other one last wed it was a bfn....

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/06/2017 12:46

@NoCatsHere I think you need to get yourself another FRER!

AnneLovesGilbert · 18/06/2017 16:55

If bfn was last weds it's definitely time to use the next frer! Do it..... let me live vicariously Grin

Thanks ek. Home now and swapped my bra evil underwired bra for a cosy sleeping one. Could have cried when I walked downstairs, fuck me they're painful. It had brytet bloody mean something. Grrrrr.

Ekphrasis · 18/06/2017 18:08

Nocats, I did that too! I was a woman possessed....with poas!

Mine looked like that on Friday then the Saturday looked equal in colour which is when I tested. They're incredibly faint lines though.

Ok I'm thinking I'd love to test but the disappointment will be so huge and I'm going to wait. I feel the brown/very dark red spotting although light, is not a good sign. I'm going to see what happens tomorrow. Thanks for the support though, I'm going to hang on for as long as I can bare peeing on things that aren't actually pregnancy tests... Confused

NoCatsHere · 18/06/2017 18:47

Ekphrasis it is a line though... I have everything crossed for you and I hope it gets darker for you over the next few days.

Ekphrasis · 18/06/2017 19:18

Thanks nocats. what will be will be!

emvy · 18/06/2017 21:26

Congratulations ekphrasis! A faint line is still a line (as they say), although I know that's difficult to accept when it's you staring at it! I have everything crossed this is a sticky one for you!

Anne, pain in the boob department sounds promising! I also have everything crossed for you too, and nocats, hoping your spotting is implantation!

For all af embracers/HT's/anyone else that doesn't fall into that bracket, I hope you've enjoyed the sunny weekend! I do love a bit of sunshine and hot weather to make me feel better Smile

DancingUnicorn · 18/06/2017 21:31

If I see one more Facebook pregnancy announcement for Father's Day for friends of friends of people I barely know I might destroy my phone!

Ok, probably not. I'm allowing myself to remain a slightly ht until af actually appears. But if it's going to come, it had better come asap!

Keeping fx crossed for the morning for you Anne!

Lime19 · 18/06/2017 22:04

Agree! Facebook announcements. Hmm After last time I'm not announcing til I have a baby in my arms or until someone takes me to one side and tells me I need to stop eating cookies!

Congrats ekphrasis and fx for you too nocats.

So sorry for all the awful things some of you have been going through. It never gets any easier, and just when you think you've overcome one hurdle you find another one. Flowers

I'm.smack bang in the middle of fw and have dtd C6, 8, 9, and 10 so far. Got positive opk today on cd11 so going to keep going until I get a temp rise. If it doesn't happen this month I don't know what more I can do!

Oh dear. Fail there. It told me it hadn't posted!!

DancingUnicorn · 18/06/2017 22:30

Fingers crossed for you flash. Sounds like you're covered.

I don't mind Facebook announcements per se. But because of how the thing works now, it's not even people I know. It's easier when it's people I know as at least I can share in their joy!

Juancornetto · 19/06/2017 08:36

I didn't do a fb pregnancy announcement with Dd, only when she was born. Too many friends struggling with infertility too and I really struggled with them in the time it took to conceive her.

Ekphrasis · 19/06/2017 11:22

Me neither. Hardly anyone knew I was pregnant beyond my immediate friends.

I've remembered a few years ago a colleague shared daily app updates of the size of her baby. I'm so very glad that does not seem to be a thing anymore - least not in my fb group.

A friend bravely announced her tfmr recently. I didn't know she was pregnant. I thought that was brace. She wanted people to know her son had existed and had a name.

I've had an extremely difficult morning. I saw the gp who thinks I'm testing early. The thing is I think I ovulated early - temps and opk indicate day 9. Can there be a later ov even if temps rise? Unless temps were wrong? I'm worried my lines aren't getting much darker. On the other hand, if I wasn't temping etc, today would be my period or even tomorrow or weds and I'd be none the wiser. The only reason I saw the gp is that thyroxine needs to be raised with bfp. However if a) it's failing I don't want to unnecessarily and b) maybe I'm earlier than I think.

I got very emotional as I find the gp visits difficult. My previous gps were hot on this, these aren't taking the nice guidelines seriously. She could see I was upset and agreed to contact an endocrinologist. I've had a baseline test today. I've been so chilled out till this. I hate it :(

AnneLovesGilbert · 19/06/2017 13:14

Sorry you've had a difficult morning Ek. When will you get to see the endocrinologist?

You're definitely getting lines, I don't see why she said you were testing too early?

I had a bfn this morning. The bright white shininess of the space on the free was mocking me! Grrrr. I just want to be pregnant. I'm pissed off it's taking so long. 11DPO so could be too early, I've never had a very early one. Going to leave it till Weds and try again. Af not due for a week but from ewcm and cervix position I know I was ovulating around CD10 and today is CD21.

I want to stamp my foot with tetchiness!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/06/2017 13:17

Difficult morning for me getting grilled by colleagues AGAIN re baby plans so I ended up telling (some of) them about the mc so they can be a bit more tactful!

I feel like a crazy lady this month. CD3 and I've got baby aspirin, basal thermometer, the CBFM, and OPK strips all ready to go. Also ditching alcohol and coffee as of now. This is military!!

NoCatsHere · 19/06/2017 13:21

I hate my body post mc. I'm still brown spotting but with no sign of a decent af. I was so regular before this last mmc and now I've no idea what is going on. Cd32 and getting very fed up.

NoCatsHere · 19/06/2017 13:25

ekp sorry you had such a crap time at the gp - sounds really unhelpful. What an earth is she wanting you to do next? Wait a few days and then go back?

anne sorry you had a bfn and hope it was too early and you have better luck later this week.

grumpy I'm glad you were honest I actually think this is the way to go to stop what awkward conversations... and I'm loving your military plan, I'm doing that for the next cycle too!

rahrahthenoisy · 19/06/2017 15:09

Thanks. After a long discussion she said she would do what I'd originally thought she'd say/ wanted her to do; get a base line test then see by the end of the wk.

I'm anxious that lines haven't darkened over the last 3 days. Searching on mn seems to indicate not necessarily an issue?

tobeornottobe1 · 19/06/2017 15:24

Hello ladies, I recently posted about ttc after 2 recurrent miscarriages. I have had the faintest of lines on IC and now im bricking it. I have told my friend and she mentioned that I recently been to thailand and the risk of zika? Im now triple bricking it. I returned around 4 weeks ago? Does anyone have any knowledge on this? Sad

Flashinthepan · 19/06/2017 15:25

Just been baby bombed at work, colleague's wife expecting number 2. I work with about 10 people so there will be a lot of discussion/celebration which I won't be able to avoid. Due in december as well so that is now two people I know having a baby when mine should have been a year old. And 3 such announcements in the last 2/3 months! When does it end?
