Emmsy's onwards and upwards part six - sticky icky babydust BFP central!!!

[Curlywurlee]

Here's a shiny new thread named especially for 4ever, let this be the one where we get lots and lots of new BFPs and everyone's pants get bigger

Ever onwards and upwards for all of you lovely ladies

Quick question before dashing out - I still had positive hpt on Wednesday, yesterday my temp rose & today finally had negative hpt. What I'm worried about though is that I might have missed my egg . Surely my levels could not have suddenly dropped to 0 & then I ovulated all within two days? I'm going to do an opk later.

Morning all

Buddha - love the new name

Curly - sorry to hear of your scan fiasco, but love Moons interpretation.

MLS - I don't know the answer, but your logic sounds pretty sensible to me

No news here - I am avoiding testing as the miscarriage clinic will be closed so no justification really - will test on Monday if no AF. Cramps and twinges so far, but no PMT and no sign of her - no spotting at all and the pub stank last night - could smell BO on people at ten paces, detect a glass of gin from the other side of the bar and the smell of the smokers coming back in from outside was more repellent than normal

We are off to a BBQ this PM - an annual event - this tme last year, I wasn't drinking cos I was sure I was PG - that ended in a CP 5 days later ..

hi ladies. i'm in need of some advice: am 11 DPO (ovulated day 17 of 28 day cycle). AF due today. tested this morning with cheap dipstick test BFN. my temp went up again today after a dip yesterday. i thought all preggo tests were accurate from day AF due?? so i'm definitely not preg?

this is torture. I was resigned to new cycle starting today yesterday. now there is a grain of hope in me...it's almost worse!

Sophable - do you normally ovulate on Day 17 and have a 28 day cycle ? Ov for me can vary between day 14 and 16, but the time from ovulation to AF never ever varies - it is always 14 days. That means that my cycle length changes depending on OV day. How long does FF say your average luteal phase is ? Perhaps you are in for a 30 day cycle, in which case the temp dip could have been implantation ?

In fact, I've just double checked, and my AF is not officially due till Monday, as I ov'ed on CD15 this time. B*gger ! Got to wait a few more hours to see if pre AF spotting starts.

jools i don't know!!! i am usually regular 28 days (sometimes in the past have been 29) but this is my first cycle of charting so I don't know when I usually ovulate.

arghhhhhhhh.

Aaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Brown spotting

Jools implantation??

Who knows MLS {shrugging shoulders} Yes, it could be - I had brown blood at 13DPO last year and nearly didn't take a PG test, but it was a BFP

Every single AF I've had since I've been charting has had a little bit of brown spotting at 12 DPO though ....

I just have to be patient - not easy !!

Jools you poor thing, this bit is just torture, isn't it? I have everything crossed for you hon. If it is a sign of AF, when would you expect AF to arrive - the next day?

Curly - if it is AF, then I'll have more brown spotting tomorrow and then the main event either tomorrow evening or Monday I think. So, not long to wait, but the hours are dragging !

I seem to have stopped shedding hair everywhere

Off to steam clean the bedroom carpets !

I am singing my stay away evil witch song - DH is going to be pretty sick of this by Monday but if that's what it takes....

Great to hear you finally got that bfn MLS though from now on we'll be hoping for bfps for you Sorry I haven't a clue about temping but let us know how you get on with the opks. Best time to do is around 2pm if you can although they should be fine till early evening also

hello....

Just quickly as im sorting out the ac guys....hopefully the villa will cool down now, its 37 degrees at the moment

just wanted to tell curley that i spoke to my doctor today as she assures me that disappearing symptoms from 10 weeks is normal...some people just get to the blooming stage earlier than others, hope this helps a little hun?

I have to call the hospital of my choosing and book in the birth and everything they arrange a meeting and book you your room and stuff! Im just wanting a early scan, havent even thought further than 9 weeks!

Ill be back later, hopefully cooler xxx

Thanks barbie that is so lovely of you to check for me The lack of puking didn't last long - I was just panicking because I ate a normalish dinner and didn't puke it up but the nausea is as bad as ever now... not that I mind, it makes me feel better

How exciting to be talking about hospital beds. You're right though, let's get the bloody scans sorted first

It's very quiet today...

Hi all! I'm back! Missed you all but MLS has kept me up to date on news (Thanks)
I'm off now to catch up on all the ramblings and rantings that I LOVE!
Be back later but suspect you're all doing something more interesting with your Saturday night...

Phew! that took ages! Can't remember all your news so not even going to try to post individually. Should have used Annie's trick of taking notes but too lazy tired to read it all again.
There's been a lot of tears in the past week. Clearly you have all forgotten my late-Gran's advice to pee! Remember the more you pee, the less you cry! Sending you all a big hug anyway.
Loving the fact that we're all in Mermaid's greenhouse now and that Barbie's air con has helped her get the greenhouse vibe
Like the new name Buddha

I'm now 11dpo and despite the fact that I bought two clearblue tonight (half price in Tesco) I'm going to try not to test til Monday morning which will allow me to indulge myself and my tender niples/big boobs in some BFP daydreams... Hope you and I are on for a BFP on Monday Jools and iggy too if she's still in (BTW Iggy I don't have your mob number but I'm sure you sent it round. How did I miss it? )

Night night lovely ladies. Hope to catch up with you all soon.

YAY!!!! Neeko's back

Night all, talk tomorrow

Morning all.
Where are you all today? Has the chat slacked off while I've been away?

Curly How's the sanity levels? My hand's still here for holding if you need it. Are you still suffereing from the old MS? How's the ( . ) ( . ) doing?

Barbie Lovely to have you back. How are the new hours going? When do you next have a scan to see your little bean?

Gracie are you still smiling? When I think of you I now have a mental image of a waving smiley bean! Is your middle of the night tummy pain away?

MLS Hello you. I hope your temp is back down and you are getting into the game plan again. Thanks for all the updates during my hols. It kept me sane

Smileycupcake How are you coping now? Is Has jumpingjuly begun yet? Sending you a belated hairstroke for your huge disappointment and hope this is your month.

Mrskate What a time you've had! Are you ok? Have you considered temping since opks aren't working for you? I think temping's ok with shiftwork as long as you take it after your main sleep.

Vjay can't believe you're nearly there! I can't wait to see pics of your beautiful boy. Now stop procrastinating and get that back packed!

Sabs You're next! How's your bump doing?

Joolswhohasallthesymptoms How are you coping? Have you driven youself completely insane yet?

Mermaid Hello oh wise one! How are you doing? What's growing in the greenhouse today?

Iggy are you still in for this month? Hope you're ok.

4ever You amaze me. I was crying reading your posts about what you've been through. I hope you tested to early and woke up to a BFP today. i know you'll make an amazing mum when it happens. Sending you a belated but heartfelt hug.

hoping Your posts are lovely. I'm sure your day will come soon too. I can't wait so see a pic of the first Emssy hat.

Blue Lol at not being able to see your fango Sounds like you're well on your way now. So pleased for you.

Moon Sorry to hear that you've been so up and down. have you and your DH discussed when you'll start trying again? Surely some sneaky practice couldn't hurt?

Ok. I know I'll have missed people so sorry and I'll catch up with you later

I'm proud of myself for not giving in and testing this morning. I'm expecting a temp drop tomorrow but if it doesn't happen then I'll test. Right now I'm feeling quite calm and ok about not being in control which isn't like me at all

Have a lovely Sunday everyone and spend some time doing domething you like (I'll be doing the holiday washing and ironong )

Thought I'd get back in the groove and update the list. Seems like we have some testing times coming up

Morning Welcome back Neekothelaidback - you have been missed

Have only just got up - went to a BBQ in the rain last night and had some amazingly yummy food - scallops, salmon, lovely steak etc, followed by cheese grilled on the BBQ with fresh bread to dip in it, then strawberries and pineapple - soaked in port overnight and, you've guessed it - bbq'ed !!

Sambuca shots were flowing, but I declined and stuck to two small glasses of wine, just in case Went on to our local pub with the best pub band I have EVER heard ! A great night, but long. I literally spent the last 2 hours enjoying the music but fighting my eyelids that were insisting on closing, so just turned over at 7am and had another couple of hours ...

AF hasn't arrived yet and I don't feel pg, but don't have the feeling that AF is imminent either - no pmt. Will join what looks like a testathon in the morning if the witch is still absent. Curly - keep up the signing - it seems to be working so far

hi all
hi neeko glad you are back

im sorry not been on much been looking after a poorly dh . good job im a nusre and have pateince.

ive been working and on nights again tonight

Hi all

I too went to a bbq yesterday, got a bit sozzled & went to bed at 9pm! Also had a lovely lay-in as dd didn't wake until 6.30... bliss!

Neeko welcome home, & by home I mean mn!

MrsKate how is dh feeling now? Also how are you feeling? You must be knackered having to do work, then come home & do your job all over again. Talk about groundhog day.

Jools still excited about you for this month.

Curly keep puking!

Sophable did af come?

I think I missed my egg this month . Temp still high & neg on my opk yesterday. I'll keep going with them for a few days & see what happens. I just thought there would be more than 2 days between having a pos hpt & then ovulating.

Right I'm off to do something radical now....

Hiya, it's quiet in here today.

mls I don't think you've missed your egg yet, it take approx 6 weeks for af to return after mc, and it's not been that long for you yet, so I think ov will happen soon.

neeko so glad you're back, and I'm very excited for you testing tomorrow

jools it's not over till TEW arrives, i do hope you get a BFP xxx

Mrskate I think you need to take some you time, whether it's a nice long hot bath, or an early night/morning with a good book, you'll feel loads better, and a happy mrskate means a happy dh and then lots of bding and a BFP...now there's a plan

Right I'm off to relax in our greenhouse with a watering can of fresh orange juice and a good book...

MLS - have just remembered that I read quite emphatic advice on a miscarriage advice site that says OPK's are almost useless in the first cycle after mc and can't be relied on at all whilst hormones are still settling down, so I think you'll be OK

Afternoon all, im back. Got back late last night from my hols, all tanned and relaxed. Majorca was lovely, very hot though! Getting up to 40C during the day and 30C on a night, thank goodness we had air con.
Im in the middle of washing, drying and ironing, so will be back later for proper catch up. Have missed you all X
