Hey Seany,

As far As I can figure out I am on CD31. But since last AF took some time to show up, i am waiting until Friday/Saturday to buy test....

Have had no more spotting. Still feel no symptom of AF so far (touch wood) but I am not getting my hopes up.

Hows your day been?

seanybosmummy · 01/04/2009 16:31

My days not been too bad ant, pretty busy in work trying to catch up after my couple of days off. Are you very nervous about the results?

Antdamm · 01/04/2009 17:05

I'm not too nervous as I've not got my hopes up about this month.

not feeling particularly optimistic about this month - don't know why.

Sorry, don't want to bring anyone else down.

seanybosmummy · 02/04/2009 10:54

awww don't feel bad ant we all have good and bad months (not to mention when we are actually having a good one it usually turns into a bad one when af arrives )

i've just decided im not going to worry about it anymore, i cant stand the disappointment so im just not gonna think about it

Bubblebell1 · 02/04/2009 11:58

Hey girls!

how are you all?

Suzi your dr sounds awful...i know how shit it is to wait for what seems like forever for your period. i hope af shows up soon or you get a bfp

Seany i know its hard when you have your hopes dashed like this. ttc is shit. try not to worry and lets think we could all have bfps by the end of this month

Ant im so excited for you... fingers crossed for fri when you test

Joy have a great time away.

im on cd19. no symptoms yet.. im sure if i think hard enough i could imagine some

seanybosmummy · 02/04/2009 13:24

lol bubble imaginations they say are a great thing, but not when ttc!

Im good today, feeling pretty optimistic and chirpy even though af is still gracing me with her presence. Im on cd7 but im hoping that she is polishing her broomstick preparing for a nice 9 month long holiday

How are you feeling today?

Bubblebell1 · 02/04/2009 13:39

Im good thanks seany...

i had some confusion before with what cd i was on. cd1 is the first day you get full flow. not the spotting i had before hand and i didnt use opks this month so just went with ewcm and cervix position. im hoping that we timed it right but not really bothered because baby would be due xmas time. mind you saying that i dont think i would mind if i was pg but wouldnt be disapointed. iykwim

ive spent most of the morning chasing ds2 round morrisons and im also trying to find presents for ds1 online.. its his 8th birthday next thurs and i cant think of anything else to get him. its so easy when they are small.

how have you been?

seanybosmummy · 02/04/2009 13:51

Ive been good thanks bubble, enjoyed my couple of days off work and my weekend away though the caravan was soooooooooooooooooooo cold that we had to ask to be moved to an apartment instead lol

Im guessing i must only be on cd5 then if you only count 1st day of full flow as cd1. what i assumed was cd1 there was only really blood when i wiped, not much on pad (sorry for tmi). What do you think? I would rather just be cd7 though cause that means im losing 2 days

I have a 9 year old brother and when its his birthday i take him to a toy shop and get him to pick something,that way i know he will actually play with whatever ive bought. it is so much easier when theyre small though. when i take ds to toys r us he just runs to the big boys tractors and throws tantrum when we try to take him off it so as you can imagine its quite embarrassing lol

MumOfBaby · 02/04/2009 16:08

Hi I'm 23 and just started trying. Can I join too? I got my AF today so I'm really pee'd off. I don't really worry about it until I come on and then I'm all upset. Fingers crossed for this month coming.

I'm going for the EWCM thing, and I have ovulation sticks.

seanybosmummy · 02/04/2009 16:59

Hi mumof course you can join!! the beginning of the cycle is soooooo boring isn't it- there isn't even the fun of bding until the witch disappears!

Good luck for this month!! I don't temp or anything and i never had any luck with the opk's. As we've been trying for 11 months now im going to go to the docs if it doesn't happen this month. It only took 5 months with ds so im quite confussed this time why its taking so long . dp is starting to panic that they did something wrong at the hosp when i had emergency section with ds (who is now 18 mths)

Im almost certain that i had a chemical pg last cycle as i got bfp then bfn and af was 5 days late . Though it does give me hope that something is actually happening in there.......... >>

Bubblebell1 · 02/04/2009 18:39

Hi mumofbaby, good luck for this cycle.

seany if it was me i would count myself as cd5. its crap when you go back a few days but atleast at the end of the cycle you wont have the worry that af is late etc...

im on cd19 and my last cycle was only 26 days so technically af could only be 7 days away! before my mc i had cycles of approx 30 days, im nervous thinking about it. im not sure when i should test. if i dont fall this cycle then its a 2010 baby for me.

seanybosmummy · 03/04/2009 09:25

cd5 it is then ( or now cd6) crap indeed, but better to be accurate! Thanks bubble

Antdamm · 03/04/2009 11:08

Hello Ladies,

Have woken up this morning to find that.........
I have the cold!!!
I still don't feel the witch looming. Knowing my luck, she'll turn up this month without giving me any symptom first.

Supposed to be going to the shops tonight, so I should be testing tomorrow morning.

Hows everyone else holding up?

SuziBhoy · 03/04/2009 11:55

hey everyone

just thought i would let you all know the latest.....

I went back to my doctor as i really wasnt happy with the last visit... i demanded a different doctor and she is doing tests as she thinks i could have polycystic ovaries , I will get my results in about 10 days. She said she is going to refer me to a fertility clinic depending on the results. has anyone had any experiences with this sort of thing?

seanybosmummy · 03/04/2009 13:37

Aww so sorry to hear that suzi. i'm glad you demanded a different doctor,that last one was not professional at all&very inconsiderate of your feelings, but at least you know you will have an answer soon.

Fingers crossed for you ant!! Alot of ppl say that the month they got their bfp they didnt have any symptoms!!

bubble i didnt get to finish my msg to you earlier cause my boss came over to my desk and i shut the screen down quickly lol
If i was you i would try to hold off until cd30 if thats what your cycle lengths used to be. Im sure that sounds like a lifetime away tho. I really really hope this month is your month xx

seanybosmummy · 03/04/2009 13:38

joy are you back yet?????????

Bubblebell1 · 03/04/2009 20:02

Hey girls!

im luving these bunny smileys!

Thanks seany i think that its prob best to wait til cd30.. will save me some money atleast.

suzi im glad the dr is going to help you get some answers.

Ant sorry your feeling ill. I am hoping that tomorrow you get your bfp! im keeping everything crossed and will be checking back tomorro to hear yourr news

hope you are having a good time joy

seanybosmummy · 03/04/2009 22:59

seanybosmummy · 04/04/2009 08:46

Morning everyone

Ant you am going to think i am stalking you by being on at this time but i'm dying to know how you got on? Did you test?

Hope its a BFP for you

Bubblebell1 · 04/04/2009 11:21

Lol seany

i love bunnies!!! sad eh!

ant im dying here... did u test?????

Antdamm · 04/04/2009 13:04

Hey Ladies,

long story short - I havent tested.

DS was feeling rather poorly last nite, so we didnt go to shops. I feel poorly too, felt a bit sick in the early hours, but i reckon i may have caught bug from DS.
Hoping to go today - this is how you manage to put off testing for a few days eh?

So, will keep you informed.
Anybody else got news?

seanybosmummy · 04/04/2009 18:59

hey girls

ant hope you feel better soon, lets hope that sicky feeling is a sign of something very unbug like

Hows you today bubble?

The witch has officially left the building yippeeeeeee, hopefully thats her last visit til next year i'm defo little miss optimistic this month which can only be a good thing i suppose...

Bubblebell1 · 04/04/2009 20:31

hope you and your ds are feeling better ant fingers crossed its good news tomorrow

im good thanks seany, exhausted from ds1s birthday party today. he had a football party at the local leisure centre. 12 8yr old boys running around, it was manic. [nervous grin emotion] feeling a bit dispondant with this whole ttc malarky . i always feel like this before af is due but ive got a week to go yet!!!!

how are you? been up to anything exciting?

Antdamm · 05/04/2009 09:46

Got up early(for a sunday!) so I could watch the Grand Prix.
And I've only just realised I have been to the loo already this morning! I got up about 7am ish and gave DS his medicine and I must have popped to the loo without realising - [numpty emoticon]

Do you think its worth waiting 4hours and try testing anyway???

I feel so stupid

Bubblebell1 · 05/04/2009 10:02

Morning ant.... what cd are you on? if your late then it doesnt matter what time of day you test.
go on test
