Hi all

I have been trying to stay of mn and relax a bit after the rollercoaster of the last few cycles (two mcs) Am now on CD26 (of usual 34 day cycle i think - but post mc this cycle anyway so who knows?!) and just praying that a new year is what we need for a sticky bean this time.

Hi and Happy New Year to all I know and those I don't!

Where is everyone ??

I've never seen it so quiet in here - guess you are all either BD'ing away or enjoying your BFP's

Hope you all had a good new years eve

My cycle is still up the spout and either my hormones are up there with it, or I'm sinking back into depression (recognise the signs from a few years ago) so I think I'm going to have to see a GP soon if I can stop crying at stupid things long enough to make the appt If I didn't have a collection of BFN's, I'd wonder if I was PG !!

After my 8 day light non AF-like bleed, I hoped things were getting back to normal, but I've not ovulated - got (sorry TMI) so much EWCM (or I think it was) yesterday that it literally fell out of me and nothing today

smileycat · 02/01/2009 19:08

Jools sorry to hear you are feeling so low at the moment, I can't imagine how hard it is for you just wanting your body to get back to normal so that you can start again, but at least you do know that you did get pg & that it can happen & will again, I know its easy for me to say but give it time, your body will recover & when you are relaxed it will happen again for you I'm sure. Big hug hunny (((((hug)))))

whatsfortea · 02/01/2009 19:15

Hi Jools, I'm still lurking here

Sorry to hear your cycle is still not getting back to normal after the mc. I hope things get better very soon.

I am mentally preparing myself for a '3 days in a row BD fest' - at least it's the weekend, so shouldnt be too difficult. You'd hope so, anyway - I'm starting to find doing it cos we have to cos it's the right time a bit of a chore

Hi everyone - happy noo year!

Hope you are feeling better jools

So Jan 1st was day one of my cycle (which today was ultra heavy and had three hours of such terrible cramping I think I now know what labour is like!) which does make counting days easy. So ovulation likely to be around Jan 16th - 23rd judging by previous cycles (but will start deanna plan from day 12) and expecting af at end of month - will update list.

Also I didn;t want to say earlier because I was waitng for news either way but I did sainsburys tests last week and got ambiguous results - very very faint lines but read elsewhere on MN that these tests are the worst for faint positives so ignored them. Also v v faint line on internet cheapy. So guess perhaps a chemical pregnancy perhaps not - but a good reminder to self to use proper tests after 14dpo next time (as if...). I didn't get excited because temps were all over place so suspected af was coming but I did dare cope.

Other news... last two cycles (only cycles I've been temping) seems luteal phase is 12 days - I know nothing about luteal phases - does this matter?

Here is updated list and sorry for long message. I've taken off the top people whose af was due end of Nov/beginning Dec on assumption they are not on tis thread any more - apologies if this is wrong and you are still here - please come and say hello.

hi everyone, happy new year! Am all confused, af not here yet and is never usually late, did internet cheapy test and bfn. No af symptoms yet. All very odd am usually very regular on cycle...

BeckyMcG · 03/01/2009 11:32

Happy new year everyone! Sorry to hear you're low Jools. I think this is a strange time of year - all the excitement of Xmas and new year over and we're left with grim weather, work restarting properly, no money left etc etc. I think maybe you're feelings are catching up with you as you were very brave just after MC and jumping back on the TTC train. I don't want to upset you but I want you to know how empathetic I feel for you. I'll be 12 weeks in 2 days and it feels like I've really got used to the idea of being pg and the shock of losing it very great, whereas with my MC it was so early (7 weeks) that it was still fresh and I do think much easier to bounce back from -both emotionally and physically.
Although like I said not a very positive time of year generally now I don't think. I felt quite tearful on New Years Day driving back down from my sisters. I was worrying whether everything would be ok with the pregnancy and then with the birth and then generally with my capabilities as a parent.
Plus I have watched everyone get sozzled night after night over Xmas and New Year (I've been driving!!) and as we ended up staying up so late on NYE (didn't get to bed till 5!!) I felt like I had a hangover for 2 days yesterday - headache and sickness- as my body was short of sleep which seemed a bit unfair without the vino .

funtimewincies · 03/01/2009 19:40

Hi and Happy New Year to all. Well, the decorations are down and the tinsel and glitter put away, back to boring old funtime .

Jools - sending virtual hugs to you, it must be so frustrating. I know that after my mc's all I wanted was for my cycle and everything to return to normal as soon as possible. Keep an eye on the old depression thing and come and vent whenever you like.

LovelyMonster · 04/01/2009 14:34

Happy new year everyone. Good luck to everyone and bring on the bfp's!!

Hello to all and happy new year!

Sorry I've not posted for ages. I've been away and not near a computer which has been bliss. Anyway, just been catching up on all that's been going on here...

Firstly, huge congratulations to VillageMum, Wasabi, Pezzina and SmileyCat!!! Amazing news and what a lovely way to start the new year!

Secondly, big hugs to Jools and Yellowflowers and anyone else who has just got their AF. I'm afraid that's me too. AF was three days late and I was beginning to convince myself I was PG...sure I had the sore boobs and sure I saw the faintest of faintest lines...but alas, AF started with a vengence on New Year's Day . Actually felt fine about it because I was beginning to get scared about how much booze I had been drinking etc!!

Now on a no-booze Jan health kick and hoping that this is the month. Fingers crossed for all of us still waiting for our BFPs and lets hope 2009 is a good year for us all. xxx

Morning everyone!

Am after some advice - af is now 3 days late - have been feeling sick for past two days and v. tender breasts. I got BFNs on the pregnancy tests I did on NYE and yesterday... So - my questions is - should I buy a diff test fromt he chemists and try today or am I just being hopelessly optimistic - and accept that af could be on way given the two BFNs from the tests i bought on Amazon - think they called One Step...

Hope you all feeling positive and optimistic about the new year xx

C1NDY · 05/01/2009 13:24

Hi iggypiggy I have brought the same tests. I think you are meant to wait 10 minutes to see the final results. Are they the tab ones or the pee on sticks... as the tab ones take longer to develop. When you test do you get a control line? if so the test is working but if in doubt I will go and get another test, it sounds very promising.... fingers crossed for you. Here waiting to see how you get on. :0)

OP posts:
iggypiggy · 05/01/2009 13:29

Yes - test definately working as am getting control line - they are tab ones...

Anyway - I bought a clearblue one in sainsburys (they only had that or own brand) and couldn't stop myself from testing straight away

and another BFN... so guess AF is just v. late... never normally feel sick tho - and am not having my usual cramps yet

This is v. annoying - I know that am setting myself up to feel terrible when AF arrives... keep hoping that the BFNs are wriong - but surely 3 can't be wrong someone slap me

yellowflowers · 05/01/2009 13:42

here's hoping iggy[piggy

where is everyone - this thread v quiet at moment?

I feel quite despondent at moment.

Joolsiam · 05/01/2009 13:50

You and me both Yellowflowers

I have a suspicion I may be ovulating today - won't know till my boobs get sore in a couple of days, but it feels like it - and I should be glad if it is my cycle getting back on track. Instead, I'm just raging that I have "wasted" an egg because DP either can't or won't co-operate in BD at the moment. I could barely speak to him this morning, but am trying to keep a lid on it so he doesn't feel pressurised when I start pouncing on him in around 3.5 weeks time !

This next cycle is my last opportunity to conceive and give birth to a baby before I'm 40. I started TTC in June and told myself I'd give up if I couldn't have a baby by then ....

iggypiggy · 05/01/2009 13:51

hello yellowflowers

yes is v. quiet isn't it...

and sorry to hear you feeling low

New year is new start I always think? 2009 will be lucky for all of us I hope xx

yellowflowers · 05/01/2009 15:29

Hi jools and iggypiggy - yes hopefully new year will be good for us. I hate this time - pre ovulation - at least mid cycle I can BD and 2ww I can hope.
