1 WEEK TO GO!!

[spats]

Anyone else got 1 week until AF is due???

Hi ladies.

Congrats tinker. Hope that little bean sticks.

Some bad news from me. I started some spotting yesterday afternoon which has contined. Went for a scan this morning and pregnancy is no longer .

Feel quite drained and obviously disappointed but not devistated as I know all along that something was not quite right, We are looking at the positive side of what has been such a emotionally draining week (at the same time having reletives staying), and feel like this is a good sign as we did actually get pregnant and all the 'bits' are working. Although one of my overies did look slightly polycystic but not enopugh so to be concerned.

We have been given the backing by the consultant to continue with our fertility investigations that were supposed to happen this month! I was worried that if I told the gp I had concieved that these would be cancelled.

I am really glad that I now know exactly what has happened and not in limbo anymore. we are really looking forward to getting back to normal and starting again!!! Thanks for all the messages of support!!!

Good luck to everyone this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And congrats lully!!!

oh im so sorry lovely monster - i dont relly know what to say, thinking of you!!
xx

LovelyMonster- a better time will come for you.,

Lully congrats and good luck!

Spats- I've just sat down with my diary and I think I'm on CD7 too. I got some OPKs for this month and it said you should count your first day of FULL menstrual flow as CD1, I had spotting on the sunday and Monday, but the real thing on the Tuesday, so I'm counting that as CD1. That means my cycle was 31 days and I should start peeing onto the stick on CD 15 I think. I hope the smily face does not come up until the Friday as I won't see my DH until then!! Although he'll be 2 hours away, so maybe I can insist he comes home!

LovleyMonster, im sorry to hear your bad news. Im hoping that you will soon be sharing some good news with us.

Good luck with the OPK's Moogathron

so sorry lovelymonster, how hard on you. virtual hugs and kissess to you and dh . Good luck with the treatment so, fingers crossed.

Moogatron AF was on the Sunday as spotting was sat so i must be CD8 so yeah i have a BD partner (well not literally, but you know what i mean!!). We are going to London on Sat for the weekend and i have brought my OPK like you i am ready. Keeping DH away from me until Fri night so he does not loose interest and then sat night and sun morning is the plan. Last month opk were pos on CD16 which means that will be hopefully Sun this month. May have a sneaky 1 Mon just to check. I have also been taking grapefuit juice and evening primrose which was suggested in another blog. unfortunaly i have chronic idiopathic urticaria which is an autoimmune diseas which produces too much histamine so i am on daily antihistamine or else i itch. On the grapefruit website it said antihistamine can dry up cervical mucus so i need to stop them on Fri i think. I am going to itch like mad and be really grumpy, so i may need alot of support from my virtual friends . And i can guarantee i will be a moany minny for the 2ww Oh the things we women do. must go mums here to babysit as got parents evening. x

Hello all..

Lovely Monster - that's sad news but take comfort in like you say, knowing that all the bits work!

I don't know if it helps anyone on this thread but here's my story.. I have used 'Persona' which as you know, is an OPK. I had used it for just over 2 years to not get pregant and it worked (!) and have been using it in the last 2 cycles to get pregnant.. It's unlike other OPK's in the sense that it builds up a record of your cycles, so therefore is more reliable. It gives you an egg symbol on the 2 days that are best to concive..

I have a 29/30 day cycle and have done for the 2 years I have been using the machine, so this month DH and I BD everyday from CD12, until CD15. We had a rest on CD16, and then my OPK told me I had ovulated on CD17 & 18. We did it in the afternoon on CD17, in the morning of CD18 (before work!) and again in the evening of CD18. Low and behold, we had a BFP 11/12 days later.. So my advice? LOADS of sex!!

Have stopped bleeding now - but my symptoms aren't much at all - just sore boobs and insatiable hunger! I am totally paranoid about miscarrying and feel like I want to wrap myself up in cotton wool! Hope you don't think I have waffled, just thought my 'journey' may help others?

Hi Tink, glad the bleeding has stopped. Thats a great story too, im a firm believer that lots of sex is a must when TTC but i know thats easier said than done in some cases.
I tested again yesterday and still got a BFP, i dont know why i keep testing maybe because i cant believe my luck.
I an also scared of MC with this pregnancy (as i MC in July at 9 weeks) but i am trying to stay positive and i am still getting excited about it all.
According to my dates i should be due around the 27th June a nice summer baby!.

So how many weeks are you? I am approx 4.5 I think? And due date is 26th June (my grandad's birthday - who's passed away) so I guess we're about the same then?

I am sorry you lost one at 9 weeks - that must have been hard.. Are you goig to do anything different this time around? I keep testing too - I know it's mad but I feel like I want to test every week until 12 week scan.. Just in case! My sister in law got to 13 weeks, only to learn she lost it at 7 weeks.. That was hard.

What symptoms do you have?!

hey everyone - glad to hear lots of bding paid off tink! my friend is using a persona, if i arent lucky this month im getting one as well! i have heard so many who have caught on quickly using one! we bd like mad this month and i have a very good feeling inside - hung off early testing, af due thursday so dont know if i can still hang on!!

xxxxxxxxx

Wishing - test, test, test!!!! Lot's of baby dust to you..

Hi Tink, im just over 4 weeks according to my last AF dates. June seems like a nice month, DH's b-day is in june.
Not really doing much different, just eating well and taking it easy which is hard sometimes with a 2 year old who is very active. I am going to see the doctor on Thursday as i have a thryoid disorder so that will need to be checked asap. I will also ask if i can have a early scan at 8 weeks just for piece of mind but i have a feeling they will say no.

Symptoms are not that strong just yet, heavy boobs, hungry all the time and peeing much more. Apart from that there has been no sickness as yet, just feeling more tired than usual.

Good luck wishing!

This month my plan is to drink grapefruit juice, take evening primrose oil and BD on CD13, cd14, cd15 and cd16 as i usually ovulate around cd16/cd17. I will then have all the necessary components there for conception to take place. I will use the opk to check i ovulate when i think, they should be pos on sun (CD15) so may do mon night as well just to be sure. so next fri-mon will be a busy time. We did it that way round for DS number 2 and was preg 1st month. 1st time ttc this time we did the same but although i din't test i was 5 days late and my itching cleared up which it does in preg so knew i was preg but it miscarried at 4.5 weeks,so my plan should work. However as 20% of people get preg each month, the odds aren't great

already posted on another thread, but good luck again spats - you are certainly prepared!!

i was gona test in morning tink but feel better by not testing, sort of not as stressed - if i get a bfp i get really upset and i dont want to get like that till af is here and i know its over for this month !!

home syptoms stay nice and easy for you lullymumma and stretch the truth to get your early scan!! you want as less stress as possible - take care!

xxxxxxxxxxx

Spats - I have never heard of the grapefruit juice thing but I have had a glass every day with breakfast for years!!! Maybe that helped me too!!! Lot's of luck and happy bed dancing!!

Lovely Monster, I am so sorry to hear your news, thinking of you. xx

I have been taking a few days out as I thought AF had arrived on Sun, which sent me into a bit of a low. However, it has so far come to nothing so am v confused. Have given into temptation to test but bfns all round. Feel even more depressed as now have no confidence that I have a cycle and will have less of an idea when I ovulate, plus feel rubbish knowing AF may arrive in full force at any time - grump, grump !!

Hope others are in a more creative phase!!!

Congratulations Lully

Tink, hope all is well x

hi keen for a bean - same here though not officially late yet - but bfps all round!! gutted thought this was my month, sure i can feel af but i have no idea what is going on either!!! horrible isnt it!! xxxx

This is turning into a grumpy thread. I too am grumpy as my firend has just said she is pg. Didn't know she was trying so was a shock and i feel v. jealous. Its made me panick into thinking this has to be my month, but i know deep down the chances are actually slim (20%) of conceiving each month.what a sad bunch we are

Spats - that's hard - but remember, someone has to be in that 20% - and it could be you!!

Wishing - have you tested yet???!!!

no tink, probably wouldnt see a the stick for all these tears!! i have bought another test - constipation started and i can imagine that and i loads of cm - its white sand sticky?!?!? never had anything like that rite before af due!! but i think i can hang on until fmu!!
xxx

I had white and sticky MC a few days before my period was due - and a BFN on the Tuesday before the BFP on the Friday - it ain't over til it's over!!! When are you officially late?

yesterday tink - i think oh im all confused - last month was 35 days which i have never been and this happened today;

this morning got bfn with tesco cheapie fmu, was sure felt af terrible cramps down below, irritable and teary -got to work went to do a knicker chec and there was a brownish red stain in them, not had anything like it before and thought it was af starting, wiped it was mucussy (is that a word?? so put a towel into till af got going. was sure i could feel it all morning so cried to dh on phone, cried at my desk and was literally heartbroken. then got a call from my friend who has same cycle as me and also ttc this month, she was sure af coming but nothing and always has it first thing. we chatted and she went to get a test at 11ish VERY soon later she called me to say she had a bfp! i was so so happy for her she was so shocked and so happy but deep down i was falling apat - tears came i was gutted i just couldnt and still dont understand why i havent got a bfp - we did exactly the same, in fact i bd a lot lot more!! anyway went to change pad and there was nothing!! not a drop or a splurge!! awful cramps but no af, what i thought was af was just lots of cm! TMI WARNING - there is loads of it!! so at lunch i went to get a cb test - not digital and peed away - hadnt had that much to drink and got another bfp?? was so mad at myself cos was sure deep down that af was coming but hanging on to a hope that stain this morning was actually implantation bleeding. carried on to this afternoon and on another trip to loo to find no af i managed to go to loo, constipation for 2 days now and i managed to let a bit of it go - PAIN has gone>!>!>! ??? dont feel like af coming any more, something very wrong with boobs and have a banging headache and feel sick. WHAT IS GOING ON?????? still no af?? i do think headache and sickness may be all emotions im feeling but i have continued to cry over anything all day, im never this emotional! i no i am hanging on to a huge hope here but do i stand a chance this month??

correction to prev post! i got a bfn after i peed away not a bfp sorry!!

been away for weekend so just trying to catch up. Wishing you poor thing what a hard time you are having. I rad somewhere that dont always get bfp with pg test. Why not go to dr and ask for blood test?

I have been using opk and still not detected surge which is annoying as getting fed up of bd. did fri, sat,sun and thought the kit would be pos yesterday but not. tried this morning and still nothing so need to bd more.i am now panicking that i dont ovulate every month. aaagggghhhhh this is slowley driving me insane!!! gotta go get ready for work but will try log in later and catch up with other stuff.

Wishing take it easy and go to drs - i would xxx
