[MrsEi25]

righty-ho ladies heres for a lucky thread now what are your symptoms then?? im not even on my 2ww and im convinced its this month... {note to self: must not get obsessed} yeah right...
xx ei xx

Am feeling a bit today. It's CD 28 and I am convinced that I'm not pg. Just waiting for AF to come tomorrow so that I can have a few tears then look forward to the fun part of ttc next month

hi all - bad news AF came with a vengance last night. I feel so stupid for actually thinking i might be pregnant, haviing had cramping for several days and boobs that hurt when DH looked at them funny!
Cant cope with it this month, the pain and bleeding just made me relive the MC all over again as it was so heavy. I cant stop crying, it just feels so heartbreaking. I feel like its never going to happen.

I am also spending the day with my beautiful nieces who are 2yrs and 3months, but dont know how im going to look at them without crying.
Cant even have chocolate as decided to give it up for lent, AND im on b*dy weightwatchers!
Sorry for moaning but feel so crap. Why do we put ourselves through this?

Swaliswan - hope you have better news than i did.

Just wanted to come out of my own selfish little world and say good luck to the other testers this weekend, hope all went well and you have very sticky beans!

Morning all...

Lou sorry you feel down today. It is pretty rubbish when TEW turns up. After 10 months of this, I've come to realise that after a couple of days I generally feel better and soldier on to the next cycle. Maybe you will too? .

I am all paranoid today. I had 5 G&Ts last night (over 5 hours) so not awful but not great either. Geez I sound like a right alkie . Anyway, now I am all convinced that because I have eaten fatty junk all week, have drunk more than my fair share of gin and have forgotten take my FA and didn't test with FMU or a decent test SODs law may mean there is a chance. Crazy I know but I don't really feel AF coming on....or maybe she is tricking me??? I'll be back here in a hour informing everyone she has turned up you watch!

Hi Lou - sorry AF showed up. We all know how disappointing that can be some cycles, but you will feel better soon.

Scully the best time to have sex is in the 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. You will normally ovulate within 36 hours of the first positive OPK, so it is a sign to get to it! You haven't missed the boat.

Bucky less of the paranoia. TTC takes ages and you can't be virtuous all of the time. Let us know how you go with the test.

Ei good luck for re-testing. How many dpo are you?

{{{{hugs}}}} for you Lou. It must be a very painful reminder for you. The grief of an mc can be very difficult to explain to other people. I know that I found it quite a lonely sort of grief. Don't feel that you are being selfish. It's very good that you feel that you can share how you are feeling with us. Are you sure that I can't sneak you a bit of chocolate. Just one teeny-tiny bit?

I don't think that we're going to manage to conceive on cycle one this time. My temp has dropped and I couldn't feel any less pg if I tried. I can't even be bothered to test and am just going to wait as long as it takes for AF to turn up. Roll on AF then I can start filling in a chart on FF. I think that DH is going to be happy in a warped sort of way as he felt incredibly cheated out of the fun part of ttc last time and as he was in Iraq for the whole pregnancy he didn't manage to take advantage of my hormonal urges during the pg either!

Ate 3 pieces of galaxy... and i dont feel guilty as i NEEDED them. MMMMMmmmm beautiful chocolate!
Thanks swaliswan - you twisted my arm!
Just got to get through the next couple of days and will start to feel the 'let's try again' thing as usual i'm sure.

Just popped in to see how the testers got on. So sorry you got a BFN Bucky I do hope it is just too early for you.

MrsEI Have you tested yet.

Hello to everyone else.

Also popping in for test results. Lou so sorry ab0ut BFN and it bringin back mc memories - never underestimate the healing power of chocolate .
Bucky when do you plan to test again ? Will you be late if no AF by tomorrow ? Fingers crossed
MrsEi any news ?
scully definitely not too late - get busy missus !

Mibbes yes, if no AF by tomorrow she will be late. . No signs yet...

Hey cycle buddy 07MTW how is it going? AF is late for you now isn't she??? Which is a good sign right? Because with CPs didn't she just turn up as usual?

oh and forgot to say I will probably wait till Tuesday/Wednesday to test again.

FF has just put in my red lines and reckons I am 3dpo - I think 2dpo... FF thinks I ov'd on Thu but got 1st +ve opk on Thu and loads of EWCM - it didn't go away until Fri night - also got another +ve on Fri. So I think I'll ignore FF and go with my instinct. I'll continue to input temps though as it may move my ov date. It has lowered my coverline from last cycle and loads of pre-ov temps are above coverline which is another reason I disagree ! Only cycle 2 of temping and I think I know better than FF !!! Any other FF ladies experienced similar ?

OOhh steely resolve Bucky am impressed !

Not really Mibbes just a lack of decent tests and the reality that AF will probably turn up today anyway. If she doesn't then maybe I ov a day later than i thought and she is due tomorrow. By Tuesday, I would say something was up IYKWIM.

FF sound tres complicated. I haven't got round to getting a thermometer yet and I really think I have a bit of a handle on my cycle now, so I am not sure what I would achieve if I started now? Are you finding it useful?

Bucky I am finding it very useful. My cycles are not very regular so it makes sense for me to chart. Between temps, opks and EWCM I feel that I really understand what is happening this cycle - at least this way I won't think am late when it just turns out to be late ov like last cycle - that 45 day cycle did my head in as was convinced was PG .
Having said that, my friend was a regular 28 days and assumed she ov'd day 14 until she temp'd and found out she ov'd on day 17, she was really as she had missed the egg for months ! If you get AF it is maybe worth giving it a go - it is really easy and takes your mind off the boring stages if nothing else as you have something to do !

sorry tew got you lou hope that galaxy bar does the trick.

bucky so if af is late does that mean you tested too early yesterday? Fingers crossed for the next couple of days.

We're currently renovating our bedroom. I say we when I mean dh, I'm actually lying on the sofa being 'tired'. Am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, have just got used to having a lie down whenever I feel like it. Not sure how easy that will be in the office.

I had my first baby dream last night since my bfp. I gave birth (painlessly) to a beautiful boy with dark hair and blue eyes (like dh). Dh delivered him and cleaned him up before handing him to me where I marvelled at how big he was for a newborn. I think my subconscious is finally beginning to get used to the idea, up till now most of my dreams involved me smoking and drinking.

Mibbes I often have pre-ov temps above the coverline, and I think it would be possible to ovulate before you stop getting positive OPKs, because it is possible to catch LH surge on the way up on one day and on the way down the next if you have a big surge - and it is when LH hits a certain level that it can trigger ovulation. Having said that, if your instincts are telling you you ovulated on a different day to that which FF thinks I would trust your instincts every time. There have been a couple of times where FF has told me I ovulated after I actually did because my temps tend to rise slowly over a couple of days after ov. At the end of the cycle it then invariably readjusts so that it agrees with me.

Any word from Ei?

Everything still going ok for you, 07MTW?

Hi to everyone else. I hope you've all had a good weekend.

Hey Scary...incidentally keep meaning to ask...is your hair scary? . Mine is if I don't get the straighteners out, I was just intrigued.

No AF here yet, I feel a bit weird in the womb area too...probably just getting my hopes up stupidly. I don't have AF cramps just a weird like achy feeling . Maybe I just never noticed it before?

Actually no... I had a more boring MN name, but changed it a few months ago when I had the world's worst ingrowing hair (TMI probably, sorry) and thought I might post on MN asking what on earth to do about it. I sorted the hair out before I got round to posting about it but haven't yet got around to changing my name (disorganised? Moi? surely not).

Actually I need a new name but am not feeling terribly inspired.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you Bucky.

Hi Bucky I'm kinda officially late my cycles having been anything between 25-30. CP has resulted in being anything upto 5 + 3 so I won't feel safer until I reach wk 6 I think. I do hope AF leaves you alone for 9 months.

scary I'm glad to say everything still going ok thanks but really scared because it is such early days. I'm really trying to remain positive about this one.

Mrsei Where are you!!!! What's going on??? Are you OK?

evening ladies
so i got a BFN this morning and then AF turned up right on time (well about 12 hours late but ykwim) this afternoon so im back to CD1 for me now!! ah well i feel ok about it so not to worry
hope everyone else is ok
scary i quite like your name...mine on the other hand is a bit dull so i am trying (not very successfully) to think up another one
MTW glad things are going fine for you (congrats on your milestone #1-being officially late)
xx ei xx
