2nd cycle ttc dc2, AF due next thurs

so far i have not done any testing (unlike last month when i wasted so many test strips!)

let us get through the next week together

also i have very little symptoms compared to last month. my boobs are not overly sore, and cramps are much less

Hi Teuch, i am doing good. so far have managed not to test...even though i have got lots of HPTs at home.

Yes, you are right, i am also hoping the BFP will rub off on me

keep in touch. AF for me is thurs morning.

i actually was tempted to test this morning...but didn't. had to get DS to a birthday party ! Phew!

Morning ladies!
So this is the week at last - Haven't tested yet, not even got any in the house for fear of weakness! AF due tomorrow, very sore boobs ( as usual) so not overly hopeful. Good luck every one!

ohjoy · 21/04/2008 11:21

i fell into temptation yesterday - used an internet cheapie to test BFN of course. i hope it was too early to test 10dpo.

i am shamed

AF due on thurs - it is monday today - nearly lunch time! so i aim to be strong!

YouCantTeuchThis · 21/04/2008 12:10

the trick is to get on the toilet asap when you wake, so that you don't have time to test with that first pee

I think I might order hpt's...can't decide...

ChocolateEclair · 21/04/2008 16:45

hello girls

STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!!!

LOL at the peeing quick in the morning so you can't test! Not possible if you're temping though as have to take temp first before getting out of bed!

CD30 here, due on wednesday. Temp still high which is a good sign I think. I'm getting a tiny bit excited now! Is anyone else?

Really hoping the BFP rubs off!

hi choc, i am super excited as well. this is my 2nd cycle ttc. AF is due on thurs am, or wed evening.

still got sore boobs. usually by 2moro boobs will be less sore...if AF is coming.

i really hope i am this time, but not feeling overly positive. did lots of BD and at the right time as well.

sometimes i wish that i can be put into a long long sleep (like until thurs am) and then when i wake up, it will be AF day or not! this waiting does not suit me at all

how is everyone holding up?

Teuch, it is a good thing not to have hpts at home

well i am due on on thursday/friday so on the final countdown. Feeling ok just REALLY tired and backache but thats more to do with car boot on sunday which meant early start and lifting boxes! Keep telling myself no point testing till weekend atleast but you never know! Have a tube of cheapy tests off ebay in cupborad and disenchanted sent me her clearblue test which im hoping will bring me luck cos she just got BFP

cathers · 21/04/2008 19:04

Just bought a hpt from e-bay. Won't be here till at least wednesday! ( Thought that would prevent me from going to shops and testing before
Keeping fingers crossed, 8th month ttc, with one m/c now so starting to get slightly peeved. On positive though did opk test and bd appropriately so never know. AF due 2 morrow. Tough isn't it?

ChocolateEclair · 21/04/2008 19:30

Boo hoo AF has arrived (sob sob )

Fingers crossed for the rest of you ladies though

CE xx

CE, hugs for you, sorry about AF

Cathers, fingers crossed for you

Bonkerz, hope Dis clearblue brings you a BFP!

my boobs usually get back to normal a couple of days before AF comes. it is still sore today, i am grasping at straws. daydreaming that i can do my own blood test! hmm, all i need is a lab, some neddles

Hi, Well my wonderful news was not long lived, the spotting I had turned into full blown heavy bleeding overnight this is the third time this has happened to me, I am waiting for the fertility unit to ring me, there must be something that can be done, my problem obviously isn't getting preganant, its staying pregnant. I am now going to start my third round of clomid and go from there. Good luck to all you guys who are still waiting.

YouCantTeuchThis · 22/04/2008 09:27

sorry to hear that - so is it a chemical pg? I am not really up to speed with that but I think that progesterone can help with making sure the womb-lining is well developed and ready to receive blastocyst for successful implantation.

Take care of yourself and I hope you get some answers.

ohjoy · 22/04/2008 11:56

hi little, i am so sorry to hear that

i agree with teuch, it might be your progesterone level. there are progesterone creams to use, i think. are you going through a gynae?

i hope you feel better soon.

beckmo · 22/04/2008 20:41

Sorry to hear that Littlemissdaisy. I broke my promise to myself and just did a cheapo ebay test and BFN.Which I knew it would be...not due til Thurs or even possibly Sat. Also no symptons whatsoever. Must wait until period arrives or is late...but I have about 15 various tests so that probably won't happen!

cathers · 23/04/2008 06:50

Sorry to hear about news little.
How's everyone else doing?

AF was due yesterday - no show so going to test tomorrow morning ( got up and did pee v .early as suggested to scupper testing today! )Good luck everyone

mehdismummy · 23/04/2008 07:15

hi everyone. I am not ttc because h does not want another although i would. Just wanted to wish you all luck and give you hope. I was diagnosed with pid and did not catch it in time so my right fallopian tube was covered in adhesions. Also have pcos. Had laser treatment in early 97 but they did return. Lost all hope tbh. Then in april 2005 i missed a period and just put it down to stress. So by the time may came i thought i might do a test(even though i knew it was a million to one chance as what with problems and h using withdrawal method) i cant begin to tell you the shock i had when i had a bfp! Ds born in 06 and is the best thing ever in my life. So keep trying ladies there is hope. As soon as i stopped stressing i fell pg! And i smoked drunk etc. So good luck everyone

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 09:08

hi cathers, good luck to you tomorrow!

my AF is due tomorrow morning or late tonight. i will try hold off testing until sat morning! not sure if i can tho!!!!

good sign - boobs still sore today. usually not sore anymore if AF was coming

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 12:27

right...who's going to make sure I don't poas the minute they (possibly) drop through my door this afternoon??

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 12:59

hi teuch, tell you what, how about you give the HPTs to someone for safe keeping?

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 14:03

too late

cathers · 23/04/2008 14:43

AF here AGAIN.
At least didn't get round to testing - month 9 now of ttc no 2 and starting to get slightly narked by it all now.

Anyway -good luck to those remaining, surely one of us wil get BFP this time? See you all next month!

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 15:18

sorry to hear that cathers...

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 15:48

ohjoy - pop over to the wagon if you can?

ChocolateEclair · 23/04/2008 16:41

cathers sorry to hear AF has got you the witch . As you say, at least you didn't test and have the double disappointment of BFN and AF. Good luck for next month.

Well, very odd developments here! AF sort of arrived on Monday night as I posted, which was 2 days early. Then it disappeared! It still has not arrived! Now thinking it might have been an implantation bleed (hopeful emoticon!)

Hope everyone is holding out...best of luck everyone!
