Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

Hey jools yea was a bit like that, very odd feeling! i was on the ward too so must have looked abit mad looking at my stomach and frowning! lol

hehe Wanabe

I remember having the strangest sensation 2 days before testing (11DPO) when I was in a client meeting and my boobs started going really hot and felt like they were fizzing and leaking !! I had to have a look, as I was convinced it was really really obvious to everyone in the room

okay - the bad news, blood test shows def not pregnant. Good news, all hormone levels very healthy. roll on 2 weeks time when i can start to worry all over again...

Yay yellow finally some good news (and some bad obviously!) but at least you know all your hormones are doing what they should and from your earlier message you may have caught it perfectly this time! fingers crossed for you xx

Jools this is so weird. i'm trying not to be optimistic but desperate for all these "symptoms" to actually mean what i hope they do. It's aweful not knowing. My mild cramps are more noticable so not sure that's a good sign but still no bleeding, just brown CM seems like. Makes me worry every time i feel.... ahem.... wet down there though, keep dashing to the loo to see if AF has arrived. 3 days later and she is yet to show her ugly head!
I don't know, do you think i could get an accurate result tomorrow morning or should i wait? (will be 14DPO tomorrow, CD36!). Haven't got as far as CD36 since my very bizzare 42day cycle in June! a good sign maybe? im hoping so. Starting to get a bit desperate now though. uh oh

Any words of wisdom ladies?

Wanabe - we are all different I guess, but I got my BFP at 13DPO, which was probably the day before AF

I reckon the poking pains and mild cramps are implantation though, so if you can bear it, perhaps it is best to wait till Thursday morning to give the HCG levels time to increase ? Also, I had brown CM on the day I tested and remember an increasing feeling of feeling wet down below when nothing was there - in hindsight, this was probably because the mucus plug had formed.

sorry YellowFlowers but at least you know where you stand now - its been a long and stressful time for you I'm sure.

Hey Jools,

Just been to knicker check and looks like AF has arrived. I'm devastated

Have to go and compose myself, sorry ladies x

OMG - I can hardly believe that

Thanks for the pick-me-ups Jools and Wanabe , very much appreciated.

Welcome C1NDY, it's lovely to see new people joining us.

Yellow, sorry to hear that you're not pg, but the blood hormone levels must be a weight off your mind. Fingers crossed for this month.

(Just put ds to bed, off to see if there is any wine left in the fridge from yesterday...)

I'm back. I can't understand this. why is my body so cruel to me? I think i may go crazy if i have to go through symptoms again only to have another AF/BFN. What's wrong with me? there must be something wrong now. We timed it perfectly and even BD'd 4 times on my 2 most fertile days so somewhere there is a problem. I'm so confused
Sorry ladies, im sure people have been through worse but i don't know what to do anymore. there is nothing else i can do to help the situation. feel like crap

DH is at the gym so i know im going to burst into tears when i tell him.
There were no signs of AF at all, i just don't get it.

I'm SO sorry Wanabe - feel bad for encouraging you now but your symptoms sounded so right.

Could it possibly be what I had in July - a failed implantation ? That would at least indicate that you had conceived but it didn't stick, which means you are more fertile for your next cycle apparently.

Really? maybe. I really wasn't making up the symptoms (imagining rather). I made myself really analyse anything if i thought "ooh i wonder?!" so that i wouldn't get carried away.
Maybe it was that. I hope so. My DH has said he is going to the doctors for a sperm test if it fails this time. May not be a bad idea anyway. At least we'll have all the facts.
I've calmed down a lot since my initial negative post now.
I really want to thank you Jools for your support tonight, you stuck around and answered questions when i felt really vulnerable. Thank you, you have no idea how much that helped! xx
Doesn't mean you're off the hook though!

Yet another update!

Well if I managed to help, then I am glad You guys were all so supportive a few weeks ago when I was obsessively symptom spotting !

When I got the poking in the belly thing, I analysed to death and wondered if I was imagining it, but came to the conclusion that it was so different to anything I'd felt before that it must mean something and be a symptom.

Don't forget, if AF is light or different, you are still in with a chance as it is not unusual to still bleed.

In the meantime, doctor Jools is issuing two prescriptions - one for a large bar of choccie and the other for your tipple of choice

Thanks Jools i'll go and have what the doctor ordered in about 5 mins!
I love MN, without it i'd be a mess (or at least a worse mess )

C'mon everyone else! we need some more BFP's!!!!!!

oh wannabe - I'm so sorry. xx

big hug wanabe & funtime maybe next month is our month. wanabe sounds like you had a month similar to mine, I was so sure I was pg this time, my body was so different even DH noticed the changes, but not to be, but if we both did have a 'non sticker' as Jools said we maybe even more fertile next month , lets hope

Hope so smiley! i'm much more upbeat today although i'm really sufferring. This AF is worse than one i've had in a long time!

Otherwise i'm much brighter. DH is running me a bath and buying me my favourite wine ready for when i get home. Ah pure bliss!

Where's everyone else? there only seems to be a few of us left!

Okay, that?s really annoying. I spent ages typing up a really long post as haven?t posted for ages and then my connection crashed during posting. Aaaaaagghghhhh.

Ok, here is a summary. Haven?t been on here for a while as ds was quite ill last week which was wonderfully timed to coincide with dh being away. In addition to a cold & ear & chest infection plus resulting temperature he was also cutting his 2nd tooth. Poor little mite was seriously pissed off for a few days and to be fair I don?t blame him. He is now fit as a fiddle, eating like a horse and has kindly given me his cold

Wanabe and funtime I?m so sorry to hear it wasn?t to be this month. Our bodies can play such nasty tricks on us. I went through this several months ago when I was about 5 days late which is unprecedented (well, apart from when I actually was pregnant of course) but wasn?t. I was so convinced.

Yellow ? I am happy for you that you know for sure that you aren?t pg and that you are firing on all cylinders!

C1ndy ? Welcome, its nice to meet you in a virtual sort of way.

Jools,I hope you?re enjoying your 1st trimester and not too pukey

Well, I?m due today but not getting excited as I distinctly remember typing similar last month and then AF duly arrived. Had some really sharp cramps on Sunday but they went away after a couple of hours. No spotting or anything. With ds I had a small bleed the day before I was due but there has been nothing like that so I?m not hopeful. No other symptoms either. Was a hormonal nutcase at the weekend but that?s pretty much par for the course.....

Hi Wasabi

Sorry to hear about the cold doing the rounds Look on the bright side - at least you can take something for it !

I think I'm 8 weeks on Friday and time is dragging. I am virtually symptomless (apart from stacking on weight round the middle) and have to keep giving myself a talking to as I have a tendency to get paranoid and imagine there is nothing there on quite a regular basis

Waiting for a scan date - hoping for Nov 7th

Hello ladies!

Well we had a lovely 2 weeks holiday in the sun and have just spent half an hour catching up on the news!

I was sure i'd see a bunch of BFP's and really sad that you haven't been lucky yet, if it helps i'm out this month too, AF arrived bang on time CD26.

wanabe i'm so sorry for you honey, i was reading your posts thinking 'ooh that sounds exciting' and if it helps i felt just the same last week, there we were on holiday, BDing every day and timed everything perfectly but then AF announced her arrival right on time, i can't believe it, i had pains that lasted a day or so which was surely OV like i used to have before the syst and we timed it just right, but no it's not working for us either.

What's worse is that just as i was getting over my 'my body is rubbish' feeling, my SIL texts us in Greece with a scan picture of her now 12 week old bump, they weren't trying and this was how she chose to announce it! Their first DS was a 'accident' after only meeting the dad 3 weeks before (!) then this time they have another accident and hey presto, so easy for some hey.

I am pleased for them but feel crap about it too (and angry at myself for feeling angry if that makes sense?!!)

Anyhow i'm ok, have decided to give up all alcohol and DH is too to see if that helps, and thinking of trying OV kits ? Wanabe which one do you use?

Have missed you all whilst i've been away and hoping all was well.

(((hugs to everyone)))

Oh BTW i am going for a second scan tomorrow to see if the cyst has re-appreared, the Dr wanted to so another one after a cycle and to check all is ok which is great, i am still weeing every hour but no pains so really hope all is back to normal.

I;m sorry heebychick - know just how you feel. good luck at scan. let's both get bfps this month. xxx

Oh Jools, I do remember so well that feeling! I was convinced we'd go for a scan and there would be nothing there and it was all a terrible mistake. I used to test pretty much every week - so silly but I was little miss paranoid. Given that I was a complete chunder beast at the timne you'd think that would have been reassurance enough!

We went for a private scan at 9 weeks because we were going on holiday and there was just no way I could relax without knowing that everything was ok. It was quite expensive (£100) but for peace of mind my dh said it was the best £100 he'd ever spent.

Don't know if you could consider the same?

Heeby, I hope your scan goes well. As for your SIL - its so difficult isn't it? You feel envious but then angry with yourself. We were so lucky with ds and didn't have to go through any of this but are making up fot it now. Whenever I hear of anyone announcing pregnancy I am genuinely happy for them but then have to go off and have a private little cry.
