Last one was getting to big and taking ages to load.

Thanks diego had the bleed for 2 days only 1 small clot nothing now boobs have now started to hurt i must be bloody weird thats all i can say oh well chin up for next mthxx GOOD LUCK TO U AND CONGRATULATIONS XXXXXXXXX

Hello everyone! I'm going to the doc tomorrow to ask about my wierd cycles. Still no sign of Af and it's now CD47. I feel really abnormal now.Really impatient too and want to see doc and fins out what he has to say. Sat at work being impatient and nearly rang up doc for emergency appt but it's not really, technically an emergency for anyone but me!!

For some reason my clients are convinced I'm pregnant and keep goading me about it. They don't even know I'm trying, they just think that I should get pregnant. Told one of them politely but firmly today that my personal life is none of her business and I would not be discussing it with her. Hope she got the message. It's worse considering I'm going through this right now. She's not to know I suppose but I wish they'd all shut up about it. Anyway, that's my rant for today!! Hope you're all well.

hello ladies, hope u don't mind me butting in. have just joined and not quite got the hang of it yet. Started a thread, not sure if that was right way to start. Basically am 36 and been ttc for 3 years, m/c a year ago after a year of trying, been trying for over a year now and getting desperate, due to go for initial fertility checks in April and am very nervous about it. had checks in 2003 to make sure was ovulating (i was). had DH checked last year and above average abnormal sperm but not enough to mean no babies. About 6 months after m/c periods got weird (few days early and taking a couple of days to start properly (red)) this last one was even weirder as only bled properly for 1 day and then just light red/brown bleed for 3/4 days. I thought this might have been implantation bleeding but think I'm clutching at straws. worried that weird periods might be endo related but no other symptoms. Think I might be overreacting but have booked apptment with GP before go to clinic. would be grateful for any feedback to put my mind at ease. I've tried to calm down about the whole baby making I'm always a wreck the week coming up to my period and then gutted when it arrives. Sometimes think about giving up but I know I'd regret it if I didn't try for another

Welcome, dizzy!

I'm thinking may have ovulated this time round, b/c there's CM. Here's hoping!! That'd be first in a long while (what w/being pregnant and going on the Pill 3 weeks postpartum).

Hey Jeddah. How are you? Good to hear from you! I am fine. This TTC can be a pain, but I am still going for it

Just found out that my cousin came off her pill at the same time as me (not sure my auntie should have been telling me but...) - so 7 months ago, and they haven't got pg either - they are only young too, 23ish??? Wished her well.

I do wonder how much the pill can be blamed for people taking longer to concieve. i know the GPs always say it has no effect on fertility, but I am not convinced!

Welcome dizzy, and good luck!

Hula
I'm beginning to feel the same way. If I had known, I'd have come off the Pill sooner. I'm not getting any younger into the bargain.

Me too. Infact, although I am not wanting to have a 3rd child at all (DH would have a fit!!!) I doubt I will go back on the pill automatically this time. I hate to think what it does to me system - all those hormones messing about. It definitely took a while for them to get out of my system, both times round. I have taken the pill for a fair while so it has to have an affect on my body, surely???

I won't do it again, either. DH wants to have the snip after our second, anyhow. I think it may be taking me longer to get rid of the Pill's effects b/c of my age, too. The first time, I'd been off the Pill for 3 years when it came time to TTC dd, and it still took us 6 months. No telling now. One of those decisions I now regret - staying on that Pill so long.

hi dizzy! someone of my age,hehe..welcome to our crazy world

well hula i've decided i'm not going back on the pill, when I was 16 and got PG, it was pre pill, and literally an accident no planning or anything, I didn't even know where I was in my cycle, I had some form of injection after the m/c althou i have violent mood swings on it, so only had one injection then went straight onto microgynon, been on it 6 years, never had any probs didn't put on weight or anything (or loose it thou) anyhow, as it's taking so long to fall I won't be going back on it, but rather using persona as a natural aid. (just means for a week DH can't come near me! after all this BD i'll be glad of a break! lol)

Got pg first time 3 months after coming off pill, I was nearly 31 at the time. This time came off pill 3 years ago and taking forever. Started OPK this morning, difficult to stay positive though cos my chances of getting preg seem to be down to just pure luck rather than when I am ovulating.

munz...? is that not munnzieb? it take it aint

hello, back on the ttc roller coaster again this month, another 2 weeks til af...
I'm going to try not to think about it.
Agree with some of the pill comments - although I came of it in December 2001 and had dd in Oct 2002 but have not gone back on it.

hi everybody - have been trying to keep my mind off ttc so haven't really been posting but am getting so frustrated. last af started 7Feb no AF since and got another (3rd) BFN this morning.

Not charting or anything yet this is the AF since dd was born almost a year ago. Dr is pretty understanding and has said that if no AF in 3 mths since this one then she would do a referral to gyne but I can't help but feel a bit down about it all.

Of on holiday for 10days tomorrow to Turkey so now had a BFN have to pack in case AF arrives.

ahhh sorry chuffed know exactly how your feeling hun.Had lots of pregs symptoms evening stretching in tummy last period 12th feb done 3 tests bfn (cried of course) had what i thought was my af on sat and sun nothing now boobs sore feel sick funny taste back and backache back.Soke to dr yesterday she doesnt want to get my hopes up but told me to test again end of week grrrrhh.Just go on your hols prehaps ur stressing like me RELAX dont think about anything because what will be will be.

would you recommend persona then Expat? how does it work please? may give it a go i use calista ovulation kit but sometimes its not very clear.

CD25 not much happening here.sore boobs and nipples .probably af around the corner.would be too good to be true if i was pg!!

on Fertility Friend they keep talking about neg HPT and positive HPT.what is HPT?

HPT=home pregnancy test

Have just started on Persona, debsy, so the verdict is out. The leaflet says it can take 3 months of usage before it really gets to know your cycle. So far I'm still on red light. CD9. Feel PMS'ey so having a can of Coke and a packet of M&Ms.

B/c the Pill has obviously messed me up - on it's assumed to be the Pill for now - we are just enjoying ourselves this cycle and not paying much attention to it.

hi new girl again. in my first message told u about unusual periods after m.c and then last one being even more unusual. rang NHS direct and she told me to see GP and worth doing a preg test!! I dont feel preg and can't face another negative result. Does anyone think its worth doing. It wasn't a normal period but I think it was one rather than an implantation bleed. Please tell me if anyone has had this happen after m/c. going to gp tomorrow to see what she says but am having kittens at the minute as thinking all sorts.

doesn't a home pregnancy test come out positive for a while after a miscarriage? I'd ask the dr to test you dizzy36 then you don't have to pay for it either...(cheapskate me I know)
Thanks for the thoughts, I know I'll have a nice holiday.

yes it does, chuffed. i had bloodwork to confirm that the level of HcG (pregnancy hormone) was going down the way it should after m/c.

thanks chuffed, will wait to see what dr says tomorrow. don't worry about being a cheapskate, thats exactly what I was thinking and I promised myself I wouldn't waste anymore p/t cos costing me a fortune. have a nice holiday
