Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

tahnks pixie you have given me a bit of hope. I didn't wait for 4hrs not peeing!!! i have another test so i will do that with my first morning wee tom. I know i said i would keep my hand tied behind by back til mon/tues but i cannot resist!:0

digitalgirl · 31/10/2007 19:05

hello ladies, just popping in for a quick nosey. Am still at work [exhausted emotican], and am coming down with some sort of work-induced bug again (I blame the 'run' yesterday).

AF seems to be behaving herself and came back late this morning after disappearing last night (dirty stop out). I'm hoping this is a good sign, as my last period stopped after two days then i had a two day break then spotted for two days. Having AF everyday makes me think that hormones are back on track. Although I'm totally guessing!

good luck to all those waiting to test

pixie can I put you in my pocket for Monday's appointment? For all my cold-bitch-hard-headedness at work I'm a complete pushover at the doctors.

Hello all waves

Now on CD14 and had +ve OPK today so I figure I'm on the 2ww just about!

coolkat · 31/10/2007 20:02

Evening ladies, well what a day, car went in for MOT, failed, had to walk DD to school and then walk to work, left work early to walk back to school to walk home - Knackered.

DD's rabbit died and had to tell her, it was horrible, however we held a little burial ceromony with her dressed as a pumpkin!!

Anyway, less of me rambling, still felt light headed every now and again and I have had a continuous headache, although I am not sure these are symptoms of pregnancy.
I did however purchase some Preg tests on my trek through town to work so watch this space..!!
Congrats to Spooky who I see has BFP on the other post.
Anyone else had a nightmare day

Bucky2007 · 31/10/2007 20:43

Evening girlies. I am in a total flap again. I was going to clean the oven yesterday and sprayed the cleaner all over it then got distracted and forgot. DP cooked dinner tonight and it was only when we were almost finished and our tongues were numb that I remembered. Now i think that if I concieve this month I am a toxic wasteground, if I don't die first of course . I have googled 'I forgot to wipe off the oven cleaner' to death and cannot find any reference to anyone on earth ever doing this before with a fan assisted oven . What am I going to do????

coolkat · 31/10/2007 20:53

And I thought I had a bad day.
No advice sorry!

Bucky2007 · 31/10/2007 20:57

ooh coolcat I didn't see your post sorry! . Your day does sound pretty rubbish. Hope it got better.

made it home and have just sat down after helping dh make me a 'get well soon' broth (he is being grumpy so its quicker if i help). i have a GIANT spot on my lip, which will look great tomorrow when i have to give a presentation.

bucky oh dear...it can't have been that bad, i'm sure the 'fan' blew out most of the fumes. i once forgot to take the foam base off a pizza before sticking it in the oven. got halfway through the pizza before i realised [doh].

coolkat sorry you had a rubbish day too. all that and a funeral! you are a very good mother.

am logging current aches and pains (which include odd cramps and 'different' painful boobs) as 'ill' symptoms which i will have to mentally reference next time i'm on a 2ww so as not to confuse them with real 'pg' symptoms.

am annoyed that this bug will probably affect my temp charting...and on my first full cycle of temping too. poo.

Bucky2007 · 31/10/2007 21:25

but dg my tongue is STILL numb. I ate about 45 mins ago!

I have no ov symptoms yet, so not sure when to brake out the OPKs. Maybe CD12 which I think is tomorrow...

Morning ladies, Bucky hows the tongue (apart from clean!!)? Joking apart I admire the fact you thought about cleanin your oven - I hate that job.

Well ladies did a really sad TTC thing last night, feeling really negative I did a test and it was well negative!! However, I than sat down and thought about dates and am sure it is still to early so there may still be a chance? The trouble is I can not remember when day one of cycle was but I am certain it was after DD's B-day so therefore not time.

Sorry to ramble off to work now in my car - feels like such a luxury after yesterday.

Morning ladies.

OMG Bucky are you okay? Is your tounge still numb? I did have a little giggle to myself but that's because that is really something I would do. sorry.

DG I have put your Dr's appointmenmt in my tiny diary and I will be there in your pocket ready to stand up to those Dr's for you. Don't worry this pixie has a nasty sting if you need it, you just let me know.

sarahnh have you tested yet?.....

I am now 2DPO so within the next week I should get some implantation pains and maybe a little bit of spotting, heres hoping.

07mumstheword · 01/11/2007 08:47

Bucky I know I shouldn't laugh but couldn't help myself. Have you got the feeling back in your tongue today? You never know you could have found something to help TTC and we'll all be out buying the same oven cleaner and adding it to our dinner!

DG Hope you're feeling better today. I've noted that I can occsionally feel quesy or have "PG symptoms" and I've still got AF so what hope do I have in my 2WW!

coolcat Hope you have a better day today and like the others have said it aint over til TEW comes and if you're not sure of your dates there is still hope.

Shrek I drive myself mad waiting for signs and symptoms. I intend to relax this month..hahaha! Look at SK who had absolutely no symptoms and got a BFP yesterday!

Pixie Fingers crossed for implantation.

Hello to anyone I may have missed.

lockets24 · 01/11/2007 09:00

Bucky if you are still worried you should call NHS direct i am sure they could offer advice, but hopefully all is back to normal today??

sarahnh · 01/11/2007 10:01

morning ladies, well it bad news from me bfn only hoping that cos last cycle was 36 days there is still hope?? but the opk kit did say that i ovulated on cd13.... who knows, but not very happy at all and after 10 months sounds strange but feel like giving up... i have a beautiful dd so maybe i should just be happy and grateful that i have one... hope i haven't brought anyone down with this message its just sarah feeling very sorry for herself

pixie04 · 01/11/2007 10:24

Oh sarahnh big hug. I hate getting BFN's too. Maybe give ttc a break for a couple of months then see how you feel. All is not lost though here are a few facts for you.

The LH surge which gives you a + OPK is detected 24 - 36 hours before OV not on the day of ovulation, so you may not have ovulated till CD14 or even CD15

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

An LH surge may be detected but you may not have released an egg. It happens sometimes no reason just happens.

If you do the math the latest your AF could be due if you did ovulate after your + OPK is CD31. If AF is due CD31 then your AF isn't late until CD32. I would test if on AF on CD32.

Don't lose all hope you have great symtoms and some women are known not to get that BFP until 19/21DPO and you still possibly only 13/15DPO

pixie04 · 01/11/2007 10:25

sorry this...

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

was supposed to read like this...

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and AF) could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

pixie04 · 01/11/2007 10:27

Have re read my post and the spelling is awful very sorry

SheherazadetheFriendlyGhost · 01/11/2007 10:41

HI all,
cd 20 and i have been having white cm the consisitency of lotion, don't normally have this - could to be a early symptom or am i clutching at straws (as usual). also i would really like to not test early this month as it is obviously the road to madness. HELP.

mylittleeloise · 01/11/2007 10:57

hi all well had a crap 2 days dd has had me up all tues night being sick everywhere then had s**ts all day yesterday, so am walking around like a zombie, glad to say that dd is no worse for the experience and is back to normal now, wish i could say the same.
stfg lots of cm like that is definatley a symptom!

madoldbird · 01/11/2007 11:03

Good morning everyone!

Bucky how are you feeling this morning - that sounds just like something i would do! Do get yourself checked if you are not feeling right this morning.

coolkat sounds like a horrible day yesterday - hope today goes better. I know what it's like when a family pet dies - my DD was distraught when her rabbit died recently - she organised the whole "ceremony" and we all had to dress in black etc. Don't be too downhearted about the BFN, sounds like it may have been a bit too early to test (but hey, isn't that one of the essential requirements of being on this thread - compulsion to test to early!) Keep your hopes up.

sarahnh sorry too for your BFN. As someone else said - not over until AF arrives - again - maybe it was too early? And don't worry about bringing us down - it's important that we can vome on here and say how we really feel - as it is often difficult to have the opportunity to do so in RL. And i certainly have times of feeling down (and i haven't been ttc for long) as i'm sure we all do. Have a break, if you feel that's what's needed - or just come on here and vent to us if it helps!

STFG your symptom sound good! RESIST the urge to test (yeah right) Carry on clutching at straws - isn't that what gets us all throught the 2ww?!

I have just done something stupid - whilst supposed to be working - and trawled the internet for fertility / infertility discovered 100's of reasons why it might never happen, and convinced myself that it will be a miracle if it did! I started because i was worried that both our ages will have an impact, but of course once you start reading...

Anyhow, i AM going to do some work now!!

sarahnh · 01/11/2007 11:07

thanks pixie i guess you just never know, i made sure that we bd on day 13, 14 and 15 to cover all options. I did a first response this am with first morning wee which is suspose to dedect 4 days early and it was a definite bfn... my bf is coming to see me this weekend so that will definitelty keep my mind off things so if AF doesn't rear her ugly head i will test again on mon which will cd32... i felt really sick this am, boobies still slightly bigger and still getting cm so i guess its not over till the fat lady rears her ugly head. Although it feel the same as last month which isn't good!!

sarahnh · 01/11/2007 11:19

thanks also mob, i don't talk to anyone in rl life about this except dh only listens with one ear!!! so i guess mn is definitely the place to have a rant, so thank you for letting me rant rant rant!

SheherazadetheFriendlyGhost · 01/11/2007 11:24

thanks all, eagerly accepts straws and clutches them to bosom. i shall be knicker checking for the next week. funny how we become obsessed with the state of our nether regions.

sarahnh - good luck and lots of sympathy
