OK ......newsflash.......why has AF turned up again on CD13 ?????????

I can?t get to my computer for the afternoon and you lot suddenly become the chattiest bunch ever!!

Bellie ? glad the appointment with the doctors went well and 6th June isn?t really that far away considering you have a holiday in between so I am sure the time will fly be for that.

HC ? now you know early testing only leads to disappointment (well not always obviously and hopefully not for you!)

Willmouse ? I cannot explain ? am thinking it may be an implantation bleed but tis probably too early for that but you never know. Is it definitely AF? I also would be very upset if DS?s nursery did that ? surely there must be ways of getting him to sit down without labelling him so publicly.

MJIM ? wow you look pregnant I bet it just feels fab ? I can?t wait until I get to that stage rather than just looking fat! Your DS does sound like an absolute dream ? bright and tidies up after himself ? where can I get myself one of those?? Unfortunately my DS seems to have the sole purpose in life of making as much mess and destruction as possible with no intention of tidying up ? hence either me or DH have to spend a good 15 minutes every evening tidying the lounge just to see the floor again

CE ? just to add to your list ? Mr Whippy ice-cream (a la McFlurrys) ? have to avoid it although I find that quite hard

Thanks for all your support about the footy ladies even though I know it is only a game! Am feeling slightly better ? mainly because everyone at work agreed that Chelsea deserved to win so I have accepted that Man Utd were just damn lucky rather than better than us ? small comfort but it does make me feel better.

Aw held a tiny tiny baby today ? she only weighed 5lb at 3 weeks old (she was born 5 weeks early) and was so so diddy but absolutely gorgeous.

Right, better post this and get off ? DH has just about reached the end of his tether with the lack of action in the bedroom so am going to have to motivate myself Poor man went from every other night to once a week if he is lucky!!

Can't possibly be an implantation bleed - surely it is way too early (although did the deed two days ago )

I have proper AF pains .

I suppose I will see how I go..... and go to the GP if necessary.

Hi.. Can I join? AF due 30th May and am obsessed with TTC at the moment. Keep imagining that people I know are pg - losing plot. Any others due around next next fri?
TTC no2 cycle 4

Hi Knax and welcome! I hope next week brings you great news!

Willmouse, I wish I had an explanation for you. Have you taken a test just to rule out pregnancy? I would suggest seeing the GP if it doesn't feel right.

MJIM, I would love to have children that tidied up after themselves. DS1 has NEVER willingly put his things away. DS2 isn't too bad, will do it if asked, but is taking the lead from ds1 and suddenly nowhere near as good as he was.

Thanks ladies, I was a bit shocked that the wrong strngth medication was prescribed to ds2. It would not have been an issue for 1 or 2 doses, but had I not have checked and given him the 4 doses in 24 hours, he would be at the FULL limit. I decided not to take the chance and has given him normal 3 month+ nurofen about 20 minutes ago as he was heading to bed and felt a smidgen warm, plus he says his arm hurts, poor love. Hopefully he will have a restful night and feel much better tomorrow.

Bellie, relax! Easier said than done I know. Backache is quite normal, especiallty around the times AF would have been due.

Thanks Heartmum, Hope your DS feeling better tomorrow!

Hello Knax and welcome. If I go by my usual 28 day cycle then my AF is due same day as you-30th. Last AF started 2nd May but I (and some of the others) are using Fertility Friend to chart our temps and it is trying to tell me my AF is due on Sat 24th as I am 9 DPO. What DPO are you? Do you have a girl or boy and how old?

willmouse-is it heavy bleeding? Is it worth doing a test? Mid cycle bleeding should be reported to your GP. Could it be an infection? Keep us updated won't you?

x-posts Heartmum. Same advice.

Hi HC. My DS is 23 months, and I'm using Persona to test for ovulation (It's not meant to be for TTC I know, but does the job.) Sorry I haven't worked out many of the abbreviations yet. What's DPO? CD 1 was 30th May but I tend to have longish cycles. Could possibly be due AF before 30th May actually but trying not to let myself test too soon. Sad self delusion I know!

CD1 was 30th April I mean..

Sorry knax, forgot to say Hi to you!!!! DPO is days past ovulation.

HC and H2MJ - thanks for the advice. Bleeding is quite bad and def have cramping. I could go to the Dr in the morning but can't face the thought of being patted on the head and sent away - that said I do need a repeat for my hayfever tablets so I could kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

Do you think I should go or wait and see what happens?

My DD2 was born 27th June so close in age to your DS possibly. CD1 for me was 2nd May and I ovulated on CD12 so that makes me 9 DPO (days past ovulation). This is our first month of TTC No 3 and only did the deed once on CD12 and have convinced myself I am PG so in for a big fall when AF arrives. You need to believe that you are PG during the 2 week wait to keep the hope alive.

Thanks Willmouse. Sounds like you should go to the Dr just to check it out, especially as you need to go anyway!

willmouse-yes, go to the Drs tomorrow as with it being Bank Holiday you won't be able to go again until Tues and you don't want to ruin your weekend with worry.

HC

Thanks HC and Knax - I think I will go in the morning (keep forgetting we have a bank holiday).

I can hide my embarassment behind my repeat prescription if I get sent away.

Will report back in the morning.

Thanks for the advice about keeping the hope alive HC. My DS birthday 28th June, so only 1 day younger than your DD. Now I've worked it out that means I'm 7 DPO.

Hi knax welocme to the thread - it is the luckiest around

Willmouse - first thing in the morning call the doctor and make the appointment - you cannot spend a bank holiday worrying/stressing about it all.

Off to bed now - will try to get on tomorrow but have lots of packing to do.

And

Tell DH!!!!

Good willmouse-will check on you tomorrow.

Knax-keep posting won't you? New ladies join then disappear into the night-don't be a stranger. Oh, and definitely no testing for you yet at 7DPO.

Night ladies.

Hi there,
Can I join please? Luckiest thread around sounds v tempting
Like Knax getting pretty obsessed - TCC #1 for 10 cycles now, decided I need some control so starting the clearblue digital OV sticks thingy 28 May (CD 11). Anyone tried it?
Hell, I don't even know if I OV. All very new and technical this.

Hi willmouse, i'm no expert but can't some people bleed a bit after slightly 'enthusiastic' BD? Hope you're ok.

Hi Mandy73 - welcome to the thread!!
Hopefully you will find us lucky too!! .

Not tried the ov sticks but I had a clearblue fertility monitor which definately helped me. HC is the ov stick expert!! I'm sure that she will be back later and can help!.

Wildly going to pack today and meet dh from the airport!

Willmouse - DOCTORS!!

just a quickie before work ladies

hope you have relaxed bellie (bet you're so excited about telling DH...he will be over the moon I am sure!)

welcome to mandy and knax - I am ttc #1 cycle 4 and this thread has been my saviour (I am obsesssing also!). DP says I think of nothing else!

willmouse - please go to doctors . Hide behind the prescription if you need to but do go! There are loads of threads on here where everyone says "go to the doctors" and people don't! Or was it over enthusiastic sex after all?!?!?!? (crazy thought!)

My temp has dropped slightly again, so def not triphasic. I could still be pg though but keeping a lid on excitment! CD29 (9DPO) and resisting! If I can resist testing this weekend I will manage to wait til wed (that's if AF doesn't visit first!)

have a great day CE xx

Welcome Mandy and Knax - please do stick around as we are a very friendly bunch!

Knax - my DS was born 14 July so is just a couple of weeks younger than your DS - adorable aren't they?

HC - have you tested yet???

Willmouse - fingers crossed for you today at the doctors.

Just got 2 fab tops from Sainsburys - they were only £5 each and will easily see me through summer I reckon even though they are not maternity wear! Nice and floaty round the tummy area

CE - yes DH is over the moon, but no I have not stopped worrying yet (probably won't until scan so can see bean in right position!)
Still keeping everything crossed for you and hope for good news from you on return from hols!

HC - have you managed to hold off today??

Ceebee - tops sound great! And a bargain!!

Willmouse - have you rung for an appointment?

Wave to everyone else!

Well, I have been to the doctors, and, as suspected, got sent away and told not to worry. Aparently it sounds like my hormones are all over the place

Actually the doctor is very nice. I am due a smear so I need to have that and see what the results are and then go back if I get the bleeding again next month and they will do some more investigations.

Aparently it could be due to stress - I suppose I have been quite stressed lately, although oddly I have never slept so well as I have done in the past couple of weeks as I have been very tired and believe me I am a REALLY bad sleeper.

So, do I count yesterday as CD1 - the bleeding is not too bad although I have quite bad cramps so perhaps I should carry on with it being CD14???

Hi to Mandy and everyone!!
