This month, for the first time ever we (dh and I) have really given ourselves every chance possible of conceiving.

I've been using FAM for the first time. we've been BDing like crazy at the right time and I'm so hopeful whilst being so scared of having those hopes dashed. (i do know btw that even if we get it all right there is still only 1 in 4 chance etc).

As background: after ds was born in 2003, dh didn't want any more children. We struggled (well, I did) with this and the terrible conflict that ensued until last year.

We've been nominally trying since then, but tbh, not very hard (i.e. of 12 months, there were probably only 3 that we could have possibly conceived in).

Since the beginning of this year, dh really has changed his mind and now really really wants us to have another child. I got pregnant, but miscarried at the end of March.

First cycle I wasn't expecting to have my period 28 days (on the dot) after the miscarriage which I did.

I was absolutely miserable when I wasn't pregnant second cycle.

Now third cycle CD15. Today I found out a friend was pregnant at the same time as me, we both had a November due date. I'm so sad that we aren't having babies together and so sad for the baby that I lost.

A tarot card reader has also told me (this was a very amateur tarot reader...i know i know i know i know!!!) that no babies any time soon.

I so want to be pregnant this month and would be so grateful for your support, hand holding and prayers, vibes and lentils both in the hope of being and if I get my AF which is due on the 16th July.

I'm 37 years old and need to hold onto the fact that once we started trying properly I got pregnant fairly easily rather than letting the fact that at 37 i am decrepit with no eggs left and dh has deformed sperm be at the forefront as that is what it feels like i'm bombarded with all day every day in the press!

Any company gratefully appreciated...

I'm sat on my sofa at home, with killer backache, odd random pains in my abdomen, heavy boobs and crying for no reason at all I came close to throwing up a few times this morning. Everything smells really strong too

Katnkittens · 16/07/2009 21:30

Oooh Jools strong smells is usually a big symptom for me - I'm feeling v positive for you! When are you going to test?

I don't think I've done it this month, been getting AF like cramps all day... wouldn't be surprised if the witch arrived early but as they say it's not over til she arrives...

Joolsiam · 16/07/2009 21:33

I did test yesterday and got a BFN - not surprising at 9 DPO though. Convinced myself there was no hope but have felt absolutely dreadful for a lot of today.

I may pluck up the courage to test in the morning or may just leave it now - if AF is coming, I would expect to see spotting by bedtime tomorrow. Have got a bit presentation to give at work, and perhaps I'd be better off not knowing till after I've got that over with !

Heathcliffscathy · 17/07/2009 08:27

temp drop this morning heralds imminent arrival of AF

here's hoping that increases the odds for all of you!

Katnkittens · 17/07/2009 09:17

The witch arrived for me today 2 days early so I'm out Still on the positive side I can get some use out of my clearblue monitor now
Soph it's not over til the witch arrives, I'm hoping everyone else gets their BFPs.

Heathcliffscathy · 17/07/2009 15:19

are you usually regular kat? onwards and upwards towards bfp next month!

poface · 17/07/2009 15:26

aw soph. I will pray for you just in case Mother God is out there. r u t y here btw. Thinking of you lots. Two things. 37 is not too old by any means. And do not listen to frigging tarot card readers, amateur or otherwise. Give me the heebie jeebies those things...

Heathcliffscathy · 17/07/2009 18:25

thanks poface...lovely to see you...xxx

Heathcliffscathy · 18/07/2009 08:52

BFN, BUT temperature has gone back up and higher than before the dip (was yesterday an implantation dip?) BUT I drank wine yesterday so may be false high temp.

Am due today. Boobs still hurt, still bloated.

Hope resurges and it's going to be killer when it is crushed.

Joolsiam · 18/07/2009 09:00

Hope has resurged here too No sign of imminent AF, bloodhound sense of smell and mild cramping. No pre AF spotting either

MaryBS · 18/07/2009 09:13

Praying sophable.

Katnkittens · 19/07/2009 12:18

Hiya any news guys?

Yea I'm normally vvv regular 29 days but 27 days not that unusual as occasionally I can be a bit out.

Sounding good for you 2

Heathcliffscathy · 19/07/2009 17:47

still no AF. still getting BFNs.

it is excruciating as my hope levels are now getting higher...the fall is going to be tough...

OP posts:
Cesario · 19/07/2009 17:52

Soph, if you have tested and it is negative then I think you need to think that you are not pregnant this time.

Heathcliffscathy · 19/07/2009 18:16

i have never been late before.

i didn't ovulate until CD17 which means i'm only 12 days post ovulation.

i had a dip 2 days ago, which means i'm likely only 2 days post implantation.

which is why i can't quite kill the hope. if my temp is still up tomorrow morning and no AF, then regardless of test i will still have that smidge of hope.

The last two days of the 2ww are agonising, I always thought they stretched like elastic.. went on forever, made me so tense.

It is hard, good luck hope it is a positive.
