ps sparky i had thought this morning 'ooh i could just do it now' but then i thought i would be letting the other ladies down, so this thread has worked!!

Would you think it's likely that my cycle is going to be 26 days as it has been for the last 3 months? i will be so upset if it has decided to go back to 32 days this month like in the old days!

Jools1 · 11/09/2008 09:29

Hello Sparky - good to hear from you and please whinge away I love to hear other experiences, good and bad. Glad you're not too sicky (yet) - how many weeks are you now ? I'm with you on the tests aswell - think I'd be exactly the same - make peeing on a stick part of my morning routine for 9 months

Heeby - I echo the admiration for your self-restraint I shall try to follow your example and wait till next Friday, as AF is not due till Thurs / Fri next week. Whether I can hold out that long is another matter - depends how many more symptoms I imagine spot in the next few days !

In fact, I wonder if this spotting is actually too early to be an implantation bleed at 5 or 6 DPO. Oh well, I can hope !! I was gagging and dry heaving cleaning my teeth this morning aswell - I sometimes do gag when doing the back ones, but not this badly - hmmmmmm (again !)

Welcome back ilovebeingamummy Feel free to join next weeks testathon. As for tomorrow, I'm going to log in from my Blackberry on the way to work - can't wait till I get in to hear how everyone is doing

SparkyMalarky · 11/09/2008 09:34

Heeby - that does help a lot thanks...actually wouldn't mind feeling sick as a dog (although did just throw away half a muffin because it made me gag, so maybe I'm worrying too much!)

Difficult to predict what your AF might do love...but if you've been bang on 26 days since the MC....surely would be out of the ordinary to go suddenly to 32...

Actually - I feel the same as Heeby (I really might cry!) Being able to vent all my fears, frustrations and share my good news with you all means a lot (still not telling in RL!) so thank you

Lashings of baby dust for tomorrow's testers

SparkyMalarky · 11/09/2008 09:35

Jools will be 5 weeks tomorrow ...so not much ahead of any of the testers. I feel certain there's at least one BFP coming our way tomorrow

Heebychick · 11/09/2008 09:39

sparky thank you honey, yes it would be wierd huh. Well i guess if tomorrows test is BFN then i will play the waiting game and join next weeks test-a-thon!

and just adding to the soppyness, like sparky i have decided not to tell in RL, only one friend who has been brilliant through all this and parents maybe but that's it, it's amazing what a MC can do for your confidence hey.

Heebychick · 11/09/2008 09:40

BTW i have had 3 wee's already this morning and only been up 2 hours!

nelix2000 · 11/09/2008 10:10

good morning! heeby let us know how you get on re results! LOL at amount of wees! thats like me at night I go three times before I can sleep, but thats normal! a residual from being pregnant with ds1! a bad habit I cant break.....weird I know! still no PG symptoms here, a bit more mild cramping yesterday but I put that down to trapped wind

OP posts:
Heebychick · 11/09/2008 10:39

Ha ha, that's a nice thought nelix! maybe that's what mine is too!

Dr calling about 3.30pm so will be sure to report back!

WanabeMum · 11/09/2008 13:18

Hey Sparky lovely to hear from you and glad to hear you're doing well.

Heeby it sounds positive for you though and some of the other ladies on here too!!

I'm keeping watch and am already feeling much more positive for next month. C'mon!!!

Jools1 · 11/09/2008 13:21

Whether I'm PG or not, I always love this bit of the 2WW when my boobs expand dramatically ! I keep catching them out of the corner of my eye - the only time of the month I have any cleavage to shout about !!

Only drawback is I can't do aerobics because, even in a sports bra, they bounce around too much and it hurts

Heebychick · 11/09/2008 13:37

ha ha jools had to laugh at your 'expanding boob line' comment, i feel the same, i keep looking down and thinking 'they're impressive! they're probably not but hey i can imagine!

xx

funtimewincies · 11/09/2008 13:49

Afternoon ladies. Sparky - it's great to hear from you, I was beginning to fret.

I'm getting ludicrously excited on everyone's behalf for tomorrow, might have to plonk ds in front of Ceebeebies so that I can find out the results! Heeby, the weeing sounds promising.

I've just had 2 rounds of buttery toast slathered with pate and redcurrant jelly. I had a poached egg for breakfast, so what else do I need to eat in the next couple of days to get my AF revenge?

queenie1 · 11/09/2008 16:43

Just went to the loo and what do you know, AF! What a witch! So can't join you in the test-a-thon tomorrow. At least it means I don't waste my new tests. Maybe next month eh? Meanwhile, is it too early for a glass of wine?

BeckyMcG · 11/09/2008 16:44

Good to catch up, haven?t been on for a couple of days. Sorry to see AF arrived ladies ? we can do it all again next month ? am sure I?ll be with you!. Good luck to those testing tomorrow ? will be thinking of you.

As I?ve said a few times who knows where I am in my cycle after the MC, I?m afraid for this reason I haven?t abstained from drinking but haven?t been going too mad either. I did a preg test this morning (a cheapie internet one) for no reason whatsoever ? and it was negative of course. I?m going to do another one next Wednesday before I go to Spain but don?t hold much hope,

Good luck again ? incredible self restraint!

nelix2000 · 11/09/2008 17:08

heeby how did you go???

OP posts:
Heebychick · 11/09/2008 19:56

Evening ladies!

queenie what a baggage! how dare she, without warning too, nasty mare! Sorry that this month wasnt yours, looks like next month will be a nice full thread again (tho sad that we need one at all huh and not a 'e are due in ... 'one! ho hum)

becky how frustrating for you! it would be worth doing one before spain i agree, just so you know i guess and can relax either way maybe.

Well ... my saga has an update!

Dr called and said in theory all is normal but there was one thing she saw that they had commented on and that was a right side ovary collapsed follicle something or other ... which she said would either mean basically that i have just ovulated or that i in fact had a cyst and it has just dispersed or burst/gone etc.... so this means that i probably ovulated later (not when i thought) which would mean i am probably back on my 'normal' long cycle of 32 days and late ovulating again and also we were rubbish at BDing at that time as been so busy the week before!

So i am now probably not 'late' after all but in fact on time and only 7 or 8 DPO.

Does anyone know how long the 'follicle' stays collpased after ovulation?

anyway i am pleased to have some answers at last, she has put me in for another scan in 6 weeks or so just to check all is fine, she said it was strange that the mentioned it if it was a normal OV.

So i am still gonna test tomorrow but won't get too wound up about the BFN. As in theory i am only half way through the 2ww. So will do another next week if so.

I feel pleased that i have a result (sort of) but a bit deflated as had secretly hoped this might be it.

funtimewincies · 11/09/2008 20:18

Heeby - pleased to hear that you've got some answers at last. And if it's a BFN tomorrow, well, you never know next week .

Sorry to hear that AF has seen fit to spoil the party Queenie. Red or white or you can join Wanabe and myself in a Martini?

I live by 3 essential truths...

  1. As long as you're not driving or in danger of being tipsy and in charge of a toddler, it's NEVER too early for a glass of wine.
  2. There is ALWAYS time for more cake.
  3. A well-fitting bra hides a multitude of sins.
Heebychick · 11/09/2008 21:00

Fantastic rules funtime can i adopt them please?! i love them! and totally agree with them all (especially the first!) although i have been known to stand by the kettle waiting for it to boil so i can heat up babies morning milk and seen the half bottle of open wine and thought 'hmm ... no!'

Jools1 · 11/09/2008 21:45

Just dropping by with some good vibes for the morning

makingafamily · 11/09/2008 22:15

fingers crossed for all those testing in the morning

Mylittlebubble · 12/09/2008 07:06

Hi Girls, I got a BFN this morning! Not surprised wasn't holding out much hope.

Hope it's good news for you Heeby and Makingafamily Good luck

Roll on next month's challenge x

BeckyMcG · 12/09/2008 08:47

yep - roll on next months challenge! It seems such a long wait ........ although I'd definitely say enjoy the weekend and try not to let it get you down (easier said than done I know).

Love the rules funtime and since I am never in charge of toddler and don't have a car I often partake in lazy weekend vino fueled lunches - in fact have got one planned today!

At least one more BFP would be good - our group should get smaller month on month ideally till hopefully there's no one left and we're all on the 'due in' threads.

Heeby was just reading about collapsed follicle which apparantly happens every month after ovulation. The website I was reading said it stays collapsed for 72 hours. Although like your doc said - could have been a burst cyst? FRom what I've read it doesn't seem like your symptoms match a burst follicle. Although I'm not a doc - sometimes wonder if the internet gives us TMI - an overload in fact!

nelix2000 · 12/09/2008 08:55

sorry for your news bubble BUT no AF is still a good sign

hebby looks like you got some answers and will be testing the same day as me!(ish)

OP posts:
Mylittlebubble · 12/09/2008 09:00

Thanks Nelix - I'm not too upset as it was our first month of properly trying and would have been very lucky to fall that quickly! I think I'll do more knicker checking next month, oh and BD more that might help

Heebychick · 12/09/2008 09:10

Hi ladies, can i join the thread next month please! BFN this morn but not upset as given what the doc said it was to be expected either way. So nelix shall we hold hands next week for a test???

Sorry bubble for your BFN too, will you test again?

Maybe it's fate we're all just meant to stay together!

got a friend coming any mo so will check in after she's left

lots of love to you all ... let hope makingafamily has some good news!
