Hi All, Hope you like our new home!

yellowflowers · 28/04/2009 10:34

Thanks funtime - that made me smile.

Rubbish news iggy - sympathy coming at you! (or atcha, as the kidz say)

Thinking of you too jools

Hi cindy - thanks for all the good advice. This month just a bit weird as decided to relax (! yeah right) and not temp after 6 months of temping and about 10 months of trying without temping. And lo and behold, the month when no idea of what is going on temping wise is the month I also don;t spot ewcm. Low cervix thing interesting - maybe I have ovulated. BD not hurting, but could feel cervix being bumped a bit. This is my second month of using pre-seed - great stuff, except when you put too much in by mistake! No point using ovulation sticks for me as I have pcos but on the other hand the pcos/opk problem is that you are meant to alwayshave a lot of LH and that gets picked up wrongly but when I have used ovulation sticks they tend to be negative most of the time except day of ovulation so maybe they do work for me. Am vaguely following Deanna Plan but not properly - this month have justtried to shag as much as possible. We've managed cd 8/10/13/15/18/20/21. Today is cd 23 and would like to do it tonight justto have all bases covered but dh is working late and a boozy event .

ON the sore boobs thing - am not wearing bra today (am working from home and just got dressed in a half hearted way and my boobs do not feel comfortable - but that could just be the feeling of material from outer clothing touching my nipples. Am really trying hard not to symptom spot.

Pinkyblue123 · 28/04/2009 10:47

Oh Iggy, how hard for you.

I had the same thing after my MC. It was hard and everytime I see the baby now it does make me wonder what my baby would have been like as would have been same age.

iggypiggy · 28/04/2009 11:00

Thanks Kitty C1ndy yellow and Pinky

Yellow - so down wiv da kidz

Am ok now - just had bit of shock/ wobble earlier when she bounced in to tell me. I just think its a bit of a bugger in terms of timing. Although my boss would disagree if she knew! At least she only has one lot of maternity leave to worry about!

C1NDY · 28/04/2009 11:16

Yellow wow... goush, I get a lovely feeling that it could be your month. Sore boobs are always a good sign... I think you have covered all the bases so don't worry about tonight.

yellowflowers · 28/04/2009 11:46

Thanks cindy but don't get excited - I'm still not completely convinced I've even ovulated this month.

yellowflowers · 28/04/2009 12:14

(Have just done fist response I had lying around and it's bfn - silly me, knew it was too early anyhow. Now as I said, am not thinking too much about it this month!!)

iggypiggy · 28/04/2009 12:18

yellow I got a BFN before my BFP

Original poster

C1NDY · 28/04/2009 13:07

Yellowflowers When I tested it was on the OPK sticks, it was saying that I was ovulating for about 4 days, then I knew but on a pg test it was showing as a BFN. Just wait... easier said then done... I know.. I know..

OP posts:

Pinkyblue123 · 28/04/2009 13:26

Can you use OPK sticks as pg tests?? This is new to me!

yellowflowers · 28/04/2009 13:37

that's interesting cindy - def going to wait though. and hospital appt is may 5th

wasabipeanut · 28/04/2009 15:09

Commiserations Pinky There are indeed some upsides to AF arriving. I have just had pate on toast for lunch. Yum!

Iggy jesus that has to be the most shite timing ever. It so difficult to deal with the pregnancies of people around you who you don't care for particularly but have been thrown together for reasons of work. I know you would never wish anyone ill but I also understand it must be very difficult for you to deal with gracefully. I don't have a magic answer sadly but it does get easier with time I promise.

Oh hell gotta go, ds is trashing his room by the sound sound of it rather than sleeping.

wasabipeanut · 28/04/2009 15:23

Right I have reset ds and his room (removed toys lobbed out of cot and changed stinky rear end) and should now be able to continue posting.

C1ndy well done on your CD weight loss. Sounds great. My friend has just started the other one - Lighter Life and has already lost about 5lbs she reckons. These diets undoubtedly work if you really are committed.

Yellow am keeping everything crossed for you. Your dh isn't in IT is he? I have lost my dh to a trade event 2 nights this week. Wonder if its the same? You do realise don't you that if you get your bfp this month you will be adding to the tales of "well we just stopped trying and relaxed and what do you know?" I think we could all forgive you for that though.

Well, I am feeling better today. Both sickness and eye watering cramps seem to have subsided thank god. I think this is the first month since the mc that I have managed not to cry when getting my AF so thats a step in the right direction.

iggypiggy · 28/04/2009 16:39

wasabi thanks - hugs much appreciated It is shite timing - and she's one of those people I could never tell because a) she does not do secrets - she is office gossip person and b) She would say the wrong thing (not deliberately). Plus I don't want to spoil her good news - but it is spookily close timing. There are only 6 women in my close team (of which she is one) so is v. v. unlucky!

Am ok about it now - was just worse this morning. Am finding it easier all the time. xx

yellowflowers · 28/04/2009 20:26

Hi wasabi - not IT, law.

Yes, would befunny (not) if the month we 'relaxed' was the month we conceived except I promise you I am not really relaxed and also I don't even think I have ovulated yet let alone conceived!

Pinky Where is Jools when I need her. I think Jools or Wasabi... gave me a link, when I first reported that my OPK sticks where still positive for a couple of days and sure enough there was a site on the world wide web detailing that it is possible. But I can't remember what it was... ...

Wasabi You are such a brave trooper, after your MC... I remember it well. It seems such a while ago now. MC is so hard to forget, I still remember my first one.. .life sure is a bummer but all is going to go well, as this thread is lucky and we will be back to where we were.

Well AF still has not shown up but I have been getting some cramping so may be my system is reving up to go... (sorry for the spelling but its early in the morning and I have gone past the stage of caring... hehehe)

OP posts:

iggypiggy · 29/04/2009 10:42

morning everyone!

is anyone close to testing? Am wanting some BFPs to cheer me up xx

yellowflowers · 29/04/2009 12:51

hi all,

am till pretty sure not ovulated as did take temp this morning and it was pretty low. Boobs have stopped hurting as well. cm is quite watery. Maybe ovulation on its way. DH was pissed last night so no bd but hopefully tonight. Then having weekend away this weekend so scope for much bd action hopefully.

how you doing jools?

yellowflowers · 30/04/2009 08:56

Where is everyone?

Cd 25 today. Still no def sign if ovulation. Hmmmmm. Maybe I am having an anovulatory cycle. If this is the case would I still get a period and when?

Original poster

C1NDY · 30/04/2009 09:00

Hi Yellowflowers I am not sure regarding anovulatory cycle... but your right where is everyone. It must be the glorious weather.

NOthing to report from my end AF still has not arrived sigh

OP posts:

wasabipeanut · 30/04/2009 10:09

I'm here.

Yellow I think you can still get a period if you don't ovulate. Apparently the odd anovulatory cycle isn't that unusual. Having said that I think its possible for your body to just randomly change the rules on you. Prior to my mc I would always get cramps and feel really rough on the day of ovulation. Now, unless I was doing OPKs and tempting I'd be hard pushed to spot it at all.

I've updated the list. Has anyone seen whatsfortea anywhere?

Hi everyone, sorry I havent been very active on here. A lot seems to have happened since I last posted, which wasnt even on this shiny new thread (thank you C1ndy!). Am rubbish.

Am really sorry to hear about your mc jools .

iggy, C1ndy, hope AF turns up for you soon (not something that I would usually say!). I think mine took about 5 weeks when I had mc last year which is a normal ish cycle length for me.

yellow, hope your temp goes up soon.

Hi wasabi, kitty and anyone I've missed who is still lurking here

No BFP for me this month, AF arrived yesterday, as expected after the usual BFNs and then temp drop. Arses. Anyway, having initial tests done this month, so first blood tests for me tomorrow, we shall see what results they bring.

Have updated the list

Sorry to hear about AF whatsfortea and anyone else I've missed.

Whoever was asking about using OPKs as pregnancy tests, yes you can, I tried it as an experiment when I got up the duff this time. It's something to do with the hormones being very similar and I got a very dark line on an OPK just after I did a pg test. I'll find a link.

Annovulatory cycles yellow - what are you after (I'm losing track). You'll still have a bleed even if you've not ov'd but it might be a longer cycle than normal and of a different consistency (mine were more watery).

I need to keep up with the news . MW came today to do paperwork and I've got a dating scan next week. Trying not to panic.
