Oh, thinking of you Littlemiss.You never know though,there may still be hope?

RipMacWinkle · 22/08/2008 22:20

Och that's rubbish littlemiss.

I'm with you on the ov sticks for next month though. Someone left a link to a place on ebay - will be on that case as soon as af shows up this month (see how confident I am )

MintChocAddict · 22/08/2008 22:48

Sorry to all those with AF
Still not very sure where I am in my cycle. CD20something I think. Have had crampy pelvic pain today but not getting my hopes up. Think I'll need to wait another 7-10 days to test if no AF by then because cycle can be all over the place. (I don't have much willpower to NOT test early TBH, but got one of those expensive freebie tests from MN and don't want to waste it!!)

hamandegger · 22/08/2008 22:55

can i join? am due AF tomorrow, but have had what am hoping is implantation bleed, I.e. not much then stopped. sorry if TMI. Also have terrible heartburn, which i had in first PG.

alfiemama · 22/08/2008 23:35

Ah littlemiss, sorry the dastardly af on it way, lets all be positive for next month, we will pull out all the stops I dont hold out much hope for this month as dont think I have ov, we still keep bd as god only knows when I am ov

Isnt it funny we are all saving the freebies

littlemissmischief · 23/08/2008 08:33

Morning Ladies!
Not sure what my body is doing to me, last night terrible period pain and start of AF, this morning nothing? Go figure!

Still not holding out much hope tho think it will be here but just taking its own sweet time about it. Anyway got a party to organise so atleast im gonna take my mind of it!

inni · 23/08/2008 08:42

Morning!
Did anyone have not brown discharge before a BFP? Feel weird don't know if pg. Not many period cramps unlike mu last AF. Due in three days waitnig to do test til some other signs. Hope I am if not will be join you for next try

tink08 · 23/08/2008 09:04

hi ladies ,
sorry not been on for a few days but my interent has been down
i'm on day 41 today and still no af ! i did a test wed and was bfn ,
i was gonna test this mornin but we're moving this weekend and i seem to have packed the damn test !
will try and dig it out and test monday but hubby seems to think that if i was pg that it would have shown up on the test i did on wed ?
nice to see some new faces x x

inni · 23/08/2008 13:07

I'm so excited right now. Even though until this morning I hadn't got any brown discharge I have got some. Could be it? maybe it's just the AF coming but usually shows a few days before and is more red than today's. I hope this is a sign. If I get it again I might be doing a test tomorrow.

inni · 23/08/2008 13:08

sorry for TMI

alfiemama · 23/08/2008 15:05

Hi everyone

I am so excited, weve had babies, well the fish has had babies, but its our first ones, we have only got 3 but havent got a clue what to do, has anyone else had fish babies

I found this but really dont understand it

Egg yolk is a wonderful fish food for small baby fish. To feed it do the following:

Hardboil an egg. Take a little piece of the yolk(maybe 1/20), and do whatever you want with the rest( I suggest eating it) Take the yold and pit it into a piece of cloth about 4in by 4in(for all normal metric people it is 10cm by 10cm). Put the yolk in the middle and fold it into a "bag". Then screw the end of the bag so a bit of the yolk goes through the fabric and dip it in the tank with the fry. Then put the rest into the fridge for the next time, but be sure to replace the yolk in a few days so it does not spoil

any ideas does it basically mean I must some egg yolk and put in some tight light material

littlemissmischief · 23/08/2008 18:40

Evening all!

Am really reallt confused now, last night would have bet a millinos pound my AF was coming but today I have had no period pain and no brown stuff (sorry tmi) so not sure what is going on I have never had this before.

DP wants me to test tom morning now cos we didnt bother this morning cos i was so sure about my period - anyone had this and got a BFP?

inni · 24/08/2008 09:33

Guess what I did a test just now and BFP. I'm a bit concern cos the you are pregnant line is not as strong as the control line but is not faint either. It happens to me once before that got faint line (although fainter than today's) and after two weeks of delay I got my AF. Anyone has have the same experience. I'm scared that will not go on. I'm feeling really sick for the past three days. And AF not due for another three days at least. Could be the reason of the color of the line? I feel very happy anyway It was my first try in TTC#3

Waiting2Exhale · 24/08/2008 10:06

Hi inni,

Just wanted to be the first to say...congrats...thats fantastic news!!!!! Will pray that it sticks this time for you

alfiemama - thanks for you kind words and support. Really needed to hear something nice at the time from someone. However, have waited and although AF hasn't arrived, my temp has dropped significantly today so looking forward now to starting my new cycle again and going at it like rabbits with hubby Gin.

All the best to the rest of you especially you alfie...x

littlemissmischief · 24/08/2008 10:46

Hi Ladies. Firstly big congrats to inni hope it all goes well for you x

Well did a test this morning and got a BFN then two hours later got my AF good and proper so slighty but i suppose there is always nxt month - will be joining you on the June thread!

alfiemama · 24/08/2008 11:44

Hi Inni, big congrats honey, keep positive

waitingtoexhale any time you need a chat hun or just a little alfiemama pickme up Ive been there with Alf so know what its like.
Im quite scared this time as Alf=5years and clomid Arch=first month natural, so god knows how long third will be but trying to keep it fun and light hearted.

Littlemiss isnt that typical just after you do a test always happens to me, sorry hun, again try and keep positive and heres to a June baby

Come on girlies here goes for next month (look at me counting myself already and Im not even due yet, shows how hopeful I am

sfxmum · 24/08/2008 11:48

hi inni congratulations, was it early testing?

am now 4 days away from AF so expect I could test but am really not feeling it no unusual symptoms just plan old sore boobs where as I recall it was extremely painful nips etc but I guess you never know

good luck all have a nice BH

leaky · 24/08/2008 13:54

Sorry to hear about your BFN Littlemiss.A June baby would be wonderful though!

I have 5 days to wait til AF is due....the waiting is getting harder.really trying to tell myself not to expect a BFP

alfiemama · 24/08/2008 14:56

Come on Leaky positive thinking, pma is what is needed.

I dont know when to expect mine, first day of p was 3 aug, last month (which was first time of pill) I was on a 35 cd so god knows, when I was on pill I was 28 days and before I went on it I was 32 days, what would you go off anyone.

twoplease · 24/08/2008 20:52

Evening all,

congrats inni - keeping fingers crossed that the lines get darker and darker.

;( for all those who are out this month like me. It's a rubbish feeling isn't it? its so easy build it up soooo much so that it seems so wrong when AF arrives!

So, i have gone out and bought some running shoes and some OPKS! the first purchase to cheer me up - i used to run a lot when I was young so I thought i would get back into it and really enjoyed goingout this morning.

Bought some OPKs just so that i can get an idea if and when i might be ovulating - just bought cheapies on ebay but if anyone has any advice for novices, let me know!

am on holiday for a week now, so good luck to anyone still in for a may baby, the rest of us lets gear up for the next offensive

leaky · 24/08/2008 21:59

I want to be positive but trying to be realistic at the same time....don't want to set myself up for a fall

Anyone been pregnant before without any cramps before hand? I don't remember any 1st time round but definitely do last time.Don't have a single 'pregnancy' symptom at the moment & AF is due on Friday.Aagh!!

alfiemama · 24/08/2008 22:14

Sorry leaky its hard isnt it, my friend had no symptons what so ever and I have heard that the more babies you have the less you have symptons

leaky · 24/08/2008 22:39

Oh well, I guess I do need to try & be a bit more positive then!!
